Chapter 202 Proposal to create a Zhuangzi
Shenjiazhuang became so famous because of its fruit sales that even the mayor Liu Guangyao came over to inquire about it.
Shen Ying earned more than a thousand taels, which gave her enough confidence to speak in front of Liu Guangyao.
Even the guests are served with good tea and Guokui stuffed with meat sold by Shen Yi's family.
Liu Guangyao ate a Guokui and drank a few cups of tea, and finally felt confident, "Brother, your village is really great this year! Every household has become rich!"
Shen Ying smiled modestly, "No, no, everyone has made money in the past few years. If we want to get rich, we must all get rich together!"
"What you said is dishonest! Are you trying to get along with me?" Liu Guangyao teased in a good-tempered way.
After saying a few words, he asked: "I just want to ask, where does the fruit in your village come from? Who came up with the idea?"
"Shen Yi!" Shen Ying replied without thinking.
This promise made Liu Guangyao not very happy and unwilling to accept it, "No way! You are the village chief of Shenjiazhuang. If you don't say anything, can all the villagers follow suit?"
Shen Ying was stunned for a moment and shook his head seriously, "Brother, you have known me for more than a day or two. You don't know what my temper is? If I really took the lead in this matter, wouldn't I be allowed to go around shouting about my achievements? Why not? Can I wait until you come to ask me?
To tell you the truth, several poor families in our village used to follow Shen Yi's work, and their lives got better. So this year, Shen Yi said that his family wanted to grow fruits, and everyone followed suit. If someone responded, others would follow suit. Plus, everyone I also want to give it a try, and so do I.
Even me, the village chief, followed suit, and others who were undecided also followed suit. The result is what you see. It stands to reason that the Wei family in your village has also planted it. You will know if you ask their families! "
It's fine if I don't say it, but I will get angry when I mention Liu Guangyao.
"Wei Laoqi has such a bad temper that he can't talk well at all. I ask him a few questions and he will say a few words, and he also says that he shouldn't ask about their family's affairs. Listen, is this human talk? I, a township head, still don't care. It's not on his head?" Liu Guangyao was so angry that he couldn't do anything about Wei Laoqi. He changed the topic and said: "I came here mainly to ask you how to grow that fruit? The township chief must devote himself to the development of the township.”
Shen Ying shook her head, shrugged and sighed, "I really can't help with this matter. When those fruits are planted, they are seedlings, not seeds. The seedlings were obtained by Shen Yi. If you really want it, you have to go to Shen Yi." .
You also know Shen Yi’s attitude about the baby girl last time. He may not listen to what I say, and I heard him say that rare things are more valuable, which means that things are worthless when there are more of them. Now, except for our Shenjiazhuang , Dongmen Village in Qingsha Township, and a few scattered families growing fruit. Shen Yi seems to have no plans to sell fruit seedlings to the outside world.
Some families in our village still want to buy land to expand farming, but they can't. "
Liu Guangyao was furious, "This is unreasonable. Why does Shen Yi ask others not to grow fruit? Who is he?"
Shen Ying hurriedly poured water for him, "Brother, calm down, don't get angry! Why? Of course, they have fruit seedlings in their hands, and they are not willing to sell them. Who can force him? Even the town official can't force him to sell them. Is this the right thing to do when you take out the fruit seedlings?”
"Then there's nothing we can do?" Liu Guangyao was furious.
Shen Ying also looked embarrassed, "That's not the case. I can think of other ways. Anyway, there are more than just these two kinds of fruit, right?"
When Liu Guangyao heard this, he became even more angry, "I won't tell you anymore!"
When Shen Ying saw him leaving angrily, she immediately shook her head and complained to Zeng: "The township chief seemed okay before, but now he is becoming more and more outrageous! He also blatantly comes to ask for fruit seedlings, does he still think he is a local emperor? "
Zeng kept it in mind and went back to Shen Yi's house to tell Su Tai about the situation.
Su Tai was very grateful and brought a pot of grapes for Zeng to take back.
Zeng tasted one, and her eyes lit up, "Sweet! This one is too sweet! What is this?" "Grapes started to bear fruit last year, and the fruit this year is much better than last year." Su Tai explained briefly. .
Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Mrs. Zeng was so happy and sincere that she praised her a few more times before going back with her things.
When she got home, she immediately said to Shen Ying: "Both Shen Yi and his wife are not ordinary people. We should be more polite to them in the future. Let's have a taste."
Shen Ying, who had eaten grapes, remembered Zeng's words deeply in her mind.
August arrived not long after I finished working in the melon fields.
Everyone still remembers the mooncakes sold by Shen Yi's family last year. After making money this year, they have to eat them again.
There is still half a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people of all ages come to inquire about it.
Su Tai had no choice but to order mooncakes worth 100,000 virtual coins for sale, and stated that she would no longer sell mooncakes in large quantities next year, but would only supply them in small quantities.
Now more people are buying mooncakes.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival comes the autumn harvest.
This year, everyone focused on the fruit fields, and all the money they should earn was earned. After collecting the grain and paying taxes, no one thought about taking out food, and naturally they were not as nervous as before.
Su Tai's family has only planted ten acres of wheat. After paying taxes, there are still several thousand kilograms of grain left. It is not even enough to make pot helmets, and they have to collect grain.
At this time, Shen Yi thought of buying land and adding another twenty acres of wasteland to grow wheat. This way he wouldn't have to find anyone else to harvest grain next year and could fill up the cellar.
That cellar has not been used since it was built!
He did what he said. He immediately went to Shen Ying with the money and asked for twenty acres of wasteland.
Shen Ying was a little embarrassed, "Shen Yi, it's not that I won't sell it to you, but there are too many people buying wasteland in our village this year. All the wasteland that can be sold in the village is owned. I really can't give it to you if you want twenty acres." You mark it out.”
Shen Yi immediately frowned, "If twenty acres doesn't work, what about ten acres?"
Shen Ying shook his head again, "If you ask me, your family can be called a rich man in this situation. You can imitate the horsemen in the town and set up a farm outside, and then give out the land tenants to breed people. How great! Our village If it’s not enough, you can buy it from outside and find some reliable tenant farmers.”
When Shen Ying said this, Shen Yi suddenly became enlightened. After thanking him solemnly, he immediately went back to discuss with Su Tai.
"All the wasteland in our village has been bought up. The village chief suggested that I buy land outside, build a village, and then rent it out for others to farm. I think this is a good idea."
Su Tai couldn't help but nod, "Indeed, that's what Ma Yuanwai did. But if I want to buy land, where should I buy it?"
Shen Yi immediately said: "What do you think of the outskirts of Dahe Town?"
"Dahe Town? Want to cross the river?" Su Tai was a little surprised.
Shen Yi nodded, "It's very fast to punt from our side. People over there don't come here often, and they don't know the situation here. The most important thing is that there are a lot of wastelands on the outskirts of Dahe Town. If I do it there, A Zhuangzi, the town official should be very happy."
