Good mountains, good water, good people

There is no need to pay rent for such land in the village, because others do not plant it and let them plant it.But the land is still someone else's, so if someone else wants to plant it or do something, they can go back at any time.

Anyway, land that doesn’t need money is not planted for nothing, and if someone else wants the land back, then just return it to others.

After planting their own land, they began to plant the [-] mu they picked up, but instead of rice, they planted sweet potatoes.

On this day, Gu Changning deliberately went out to find several varieties of sweet potatoes and came back. In addition to their local sweet potatoes, there are also three-color, egg-yellow and purple sweet potatoes. Anyway, he took the sweet potato varieties he could find. I found them all, and the taste is still powdery and sweet. The person who sold the sweet potatoes to him said it was delicious, so I don't know if it is true or not.

Mother Gu was a little surprised that her son brought back such a bag of sweet potatoes, and asked, "Don't we have sweet potatoes at home? Why are you still going outside to buy sweet potatoes?"

"This is different from our sweet potatoes. Look, this one is three-colored, this one is egg yolk cored, and this one is purple sweet potato... Let's steam it in a pot tomorrow morning and try it. If it tastes good, we will take it Go grow seedlings, or we won't plant them if they don't taste good." Gu Changning put the bag of sweet potatoes on the ground in the kitchen and asked his mother to steam them for breakfast tomorrow morning.

"The sweet potatoes that are delicious outside may not be delicious when we plant them here. The soil quality is different, and the sweet potatoes grown are also different." Mama Gu was a little bit dumbfounded by this. It's not that any sweet potato can be grown in the field delicious.

"Is there such a thing?" Gu Changning thought about it carefully, it seems that this is really the case?

"It doesn't matter, let's try it first. If it tastes good, we will grow a little more next year. If it doesn't taste good, we won't grow it next year. If we can't sell it, we can feed it to chickens and pigs. It’s just a waste.” He was more optimistic, selling sweet potatoes if they tasted good, and raising pigs if they didn’t taste good.

Early the next morning, Mama Gu actually sliced ​​the bag of sweet potatoes that her son brought out and steamed them, along with eggs.Now they can pick up hundreds of eggs every day at the back of the mountain. Apart from selling them in the store, they also keep the eggs at home. One egg per person in the morning, as well as white porridge, side dishes and steamed buns.

When eating, Gu Changning also asked everyone about the taste and love of these sweet potatoes, and picked out the most popular ones to raise seedlings.

Raising sweet potato seedlings is easy. Just throw a sweet potato head on the ground, and long sweet potato seedlings will grow in a few days.

Planting sweet potatoes is simpler than planting rice. Just dig a hole and plant sweet potato seedlings in the ground.In order to space out the ripening time of sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes on their [-]-odd acres of land do not need to be planted at the same time. They can plant a few acres this month and a few acres next month. They can be planted slowly instead of transplanting like before. In that case, it will take a few days to insert all of them.

Taking advantage of the good spring, Gu Changning found a shop selling fruit seedlings on the Internet, and bought a thousand blueberry seedlings from there.

Village head Gu, let alone seeing this kind of fruit, has never even heard of it. Seeing that his son bought so many fruit seedlings back, he asked a little worried: "What does the fruit of this sapling look like?" Ah, is there really such a thing?"

"I'll ask you to have a look... Yes, that's it. This is the fruit of blueberries. You may not have eaten it. I'll go out and buy two boxes tomorrow for you and grandma to try." Village Chief Gu He took out his mobile phone, found the pictures and showed them to Village Chief Gu, and said, "Nowadays many people like to buy this fruit, saying that eating it is good for the eyes."

"There's also this benefit. I've heard people say that eating goji berries can brighten your eyes." Village head Gu leaned over to look at his phone, and heard his son say that the price of this fruit is not the same as the price of the strawberries they sold before. ?Since it was the son who said yes, then that's fine. Anyway, now that the saplings have been bought, they can just plant them.

It just so happens that the people in the village are also busy with spring plowing at this time. Everyone can come to help him plant saplings to offset the work he borrowed the tiller and others to help with the plowing. It took a few days for a thousand fruit seedlings to grow. All are planted.

Gu Changning didn't forget to bring back cherry saplings of an acre of land, but I don't know if this thing can be planted... Watering a little more Lingxi water should not be difficult to plant, right?He hasn't grown any dead things so far, so he still has a little confidence in this cherry.

The fruit trees on the mountain have already germinated, so he doesn't plan to spend money on buying saplings for the time being. He thinks that when these trees grow up next year, they will be branched out. Later, he will have to learn the technique of branch grafting of fruit trees.

There is no need to spend money to do things that can be done without spending money. Although spending money is more worry-free, you still have to have that money to spend.Thinking that the money he borrowed in the bank was still the daily interest fee, he couldn't sleep at night. Fortunately, the 80 borrowed by Senior Brother Qin didn't need to be calculated as interest, otherwise his hair would be bald.

In the past few days, something happened in the provincial capital, so Qin You went back to the provincial capital, and it may take a few days before he comes back.

During the days when Senior Brother Qin was away, Gu Changning found that he still missed each other strangely, but he was too busy during the day to think about it. Only after he was busy at night would he have time to think about it. If he had time, the two of them would send each other a message and make a video .

In the early years, tea farmers planted a lot of tea trees in Baoshan, but later the people in Baoshan ran away, and now these tea trees have become ownerless tea trees, and anyone in their village can pick them.

After spring, the tea trees on the mountain also sprouted green shoots. Every year at this time, people in the village would organize a team to go up the mountain to pick tea leaves after spring plowing.

But this year, Gu Changning released the news that he collects tea here, fresh tea leaves range from two yuan to ten yuan per catty, mainly depending on whether the tea is good or not.Of course, he only harvested the tea if it wasn't too bad. If he picked some leaves casually and just dealt with him, he wouldn't be so easy to cheat.

"Boss Xiao Gu, do you really collect fresh tea here?"

"Collect, collect, it's true, but only good tea leaves are harvested. Don't just pick some leaves to fool me. I'm not that easy to fool."

Many people from the village came to them to ask if it was real tea. Gu Changning took out a small basket of tea leaves that had just been picked by their family as a sample, and told everyone that they only accepted the tea that was not good enough. , as if to vividly play the face of a landlord exploiting farmers.

There are also some old tea trees on the hills on their side. Gu Changning arranged for employees to go up to pick tea. As for the picked tea leaves, it is natural to find someone to fry them.

Speaking of the tea frying, their grandfather is the one with the best tea frying skills in their village, so Gu Changning handed over the work of frying tea to his grandfather.Of course, he didn't let his grandpa be responsible for frying so many tea leaves, but let his grandpa be the supervisor, and also invited some skilled tea fryers in the village to fry tea, otherwise only a few of their own people would not be able to fry tea. So much tea leaves come out.

After hearing the good news, the adults in the village naturally would not let go of the opportunity to make money, and organized a large group of people to go up the mountain to pick tea every morning.

"Have you heard that brother Gu collects tea leaves, let's go up the mountain to pick tea."

"Okay, let's go too. I heard from my mother that she sold more than 100 yuan of tea yesterday!"

"Wow, there are so many. My milk only sold for about sixty yuan."

"Let's go together, maybe we can earn 100 yuan!"

The children in the village heard that there was such a good opportunity to make money. As soon as they came back from school, they ran up the mountain with a basket on their backs. They could pick a few catties of tea in one noon. It can be exchanged for more than ten yuan, which is quite a fortune for children in elementary school.The adults know that their children go to the mountains to pick tea and sell it, but they don’t stop them. Most parents let the children take the money earned by their children to buy food by themselves. They don’t ask their children for money. Only a few parents will Take the child's money and leave.

For the money they can control, the children are more active in their work.

After finally surviving Friday's class, there are more children who don't have to go to school on Saturday and Sunday, and go up to the mountains to pick tea.

I heard that the village chief's house collected tea, and Zhou's father and mother also went up the mountain to pick tea.Ever since her daughter-in-law left with her grandson, mother Zhou's life has not been so easy. There is no one to wash clothes and cook at home, and she has no money in her hands. She is even embarrassed to play cards because she lost money. There was no money to give, so after learning that there was such an opportunity to make money, the rare mother of Zhou also went up the mountain to pick tea leaves with their man.

Just afraid that the old man of their family would take her money, Zhou's mother would go with her when selling tea.

"The quality of your tea is mediocre. I only give you two yuan a catty here. Do you want to sell it or not?" Gu Changning did the tea inspection by himself. The tea delivered was inspected and weighed on the spot. How much to give.However, there are also some people who pick bad tea, so the price will be lower.

"What, his is ten yuan a catty, mine is only two yuan a catty, why not!" The tea leaves picked by their old man sold for ten yuan a catty, and a basket of tea leaves sold for over a hundred yuan. And how much is she here?Zhou's mother's complexion was not good on the spot.

"Of course, if you think it's too cheap, it's okay if you don't sell it." It happened that he didn't really want to accept this woman's tea, heh!He has harvested a lot of tea these days. Gu Changning knows that the tea trees at the foot of the mountain must have been picked by someone. Zhou Mu’s tea leaves are picked from the tea trees at the foot of the mountain. How good is it? ?

If it was so easy to get money, why didn't he go up the mountain to pick the leaves by himself!Still need to spend money to hire someone to pick it?Really think he is a fool!
