Chapter 182 The county government no longer collects grain
Shen Yi put the basket down and said, "Try it while it's hot. We have to worry about our autumn harvest, so I need to trouble my aunt to keep an eye on it."
Huang Xinghua waved her hands and said loudly: "Don't worry, if you don't tell me about this matter, I will keep an eye on it. There will definitely be nothing wrong."
"Sorry for bothering you, Auntie." Shen Yi thanked her again and said a few more words to Shen Mu before leaving.
As soon as he left, Huang Xinghua's family stared at the crabs on the table.
Chen Xiang hurriedly ran back to the house to get the scissors, "Mom and Dad, Sister Xiao Tai gave me this thing to eat. I know how to eat it."
The eyes of everyone looking at Chen Xiang instantly became extremely admiring.
Waiting for Chenxiang to hurriedly take apart the crabs.
Chen Mu couldn't stop shaking his head, "This thing is definitely not for us farmers, thank you!"
"Hahaha" Huang Xinghua laughed so hard, "No! I'm worried that Xiaomo is very particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. She must have come up with this thing."
Agarwood fed the first bite of crab into Huang Xinghua's mouth.
Huang Xinghua's eyes suddenly widened, "Huh? Don't say it! This rock crawler is really delicious!"
She had an afterthought look on her face.
Chen Mu was also tempted so much that he took a bite and fell silent.
Get started unconsciously and join the army of crab demolishers.
Mrs. Chen also ate one and sighed.
The children wanted to eat even after they finished eating.
Seeing that the children liked it, Huang Xinghua thought about what Shen Yi had just said, and thought to herself: "This shrimp crawler doesn't have much meat. No one will eat it. I don't know if it is good to catch it? I will ask Xiaomo after I finish the autumn harvest. If it is good, If you catch them, I’ll buy you a few more to satisfy your cravings.”
A group of children immediately cheered loudly.
After the autumn harvest begins.
Shen Yi was even busier, running outside almost all the time except sleeping time.
Su Tai couldn't help, so she could only take care of the children at home, and try her best to prepare delicious food for Shen Yi, so as not to be exhausted after being unable to keep up with the food.
She also left behind the villagers who came to work for her. She must boil a large pot of brown sugar water and a pot of fish soup for everyone every day.
Although it's just soup and water, it doesn't make you full, but it can replenish your energy.
This little bit of food is nothing in her eyes, but in the eyes of the villagers harvesting it in autumn, it is a rare good thing.
After all, who can drink fish soup and sugar water every day during the autumn harvest? It is still prepared for people who work. Only Su Tai can do such luxury.
Mrs. Xu also took the time to come over and say to Su Tai, "Xiao Tai, I know you don't want to make the people who work tired, but if you act like this, everyone may be gossiping behind your back!"
Su Taihun didn't care, "Second aunt, they say theirs. As long as they don't say it in front of me, I will pretend that they don't know. Look at how strong the sun is! All the people who come to work in our house are women. If you are tired, I can’t afford to pay for it if it fails!
Besides, they are all women, why bother women, don’t you think? "
Mrs. Xu gave her a thumbs up, and what Su Tai said that day spread.
Huang Xinghua and others felt more and more that Su Tai was a nice person, thinking that they would have to come over to grab jobs for Shen Yi's family in the future.
The busy autumn harvest ended with sweat watering the soil. After paying the grain tax and stocking up on grain, the villagers can finally take a breather and rest.
At the same time, the government also issued a decree that starting next year, it will no longer purchase high-yielding grain seeds.
This news is definitely not good news for the people.
Shen Yi came back from outside with an ugly expression on his face.
Before he could say anything, Ms. Xu ran over in a panic, "It's great to have you two at home! You've heard about it! The county government won't collect grain from next year!"
Shen Yi nodded, "When I came back, I saw everyone in the village talking about it."
Mrs. Xu sighed, "Everyone must have said that, I originally thought that when the county government collects grain every year, everyone's pockets will become more and more bulging. Who knew that this matter would be gone within two years of being happy? Who won't feel uncomfortable if you let it go?"
Su Tai muttered: "This kind of thing is inevitable. Fortunately, everyone has made some money. At least the life is much better than before."
Mrs. Xu deeply agreed, "It's true, but not everyone can see through it. I'm here today just to ask you, what should you plant next year?"
Su Tai only found it funny and said: "Second Aunt, the autumn harvest has just ended, and I haven't thought about it yet! If you really can't think of continuing to grow food, you can't go wrong.
Although the county government does not collect it, the merchants do! We can also get more food ourselves.
The price of food was good in the past two years, so everyone went out for takeout, so your family probably didn’t have much food in storage! "
Seeing that Su Tai hit the nail on the head, Mrs. Xu admired her even more, "You're right, that's it. What's going on? Is there another natural disaster?"
Su Tai shook her head, "How did I know about this? I just want to remind my second aunt that during the good years, when food is not valuable, you can save more and dig a cellar or something."
If something unexpected happens and we have food in hand, we won’t panic, right? If you can sell it to merchants without saving food, even if the price will be half cheaper than now, you will still make some money.
If I come up with something good again, I will definitely tell my second aunt and I won’t forget you. "
Mrs. Xu was completely relieved now and praised Su Tai profusely before leaving.
Before leaving, she asked again, "The four people who said they were too busy at home this year and didn't come to work for you just came to my house to look for me. What they meant was that they want to continue to come to you next year." I pushed him to do the work at home.”
Su Tai stood up and thanked her, "Thank you, Second Aunt, for blocking all these troubles for me. If Second Aunt needs to dig a cellar, you can tell Shen Yi. Shen Yi can get good materials here, and the cellar can be moisture-proof, dry, and can store food." longer."
"I want it! I definitely want it!" Mrs. Xu looked eager and even took Shen Yi to her home to discuss it.
When Shen Yi came back, the couple was thinking about where to dig the cellar.
It seems that there is nothing good about their house, but the wasteland outside the backyard wall is unclaimed and can be bought and tossed with.
Just do what you say, Shen Yi took the money and ran to the village chief Shen Ying.
Shen Ying couldn't understand Shen Yi's coquettish operation. Anyway, she could get some benefits by selling him, so she readily agreed immediately.
As a result, the Shen family gained two more acres of wasteland.
Shen Yi planned to dig a cellar there, so he had to build a large and sturdy yard first. Fortunately, no one lived in the backyard of their home. Beyond that was the foot of the mountain, surrounded by cliffs. Villagers would not enter the mountain from here. It's easy, even if you use some special materials when building a house, no one will notice.
So Shen Yi boldly asked Su Tai to get masonry, cement, sand and gravel and start working!
Shen Yi was busy building a cellar house, and Su Tai was not idle either.
When the time comes to harvest the ten acres of wild rice she planted in Earth Spacetime, with this wave of wild rice harvested, the accumulated crops harvested by Earth Spacetime will exceed 500,000 kilograms, upgrading again.
I don’t know what good things will come from upgrading again.
