Chapter 258 The Shocked Village Chief
That night, the Feng family invited the whole village to have a good meal. At the dinner table, Feng Jiuyou made a few remarks intentionally or unintentionally.
Next spring, she plans to plant a new type of crop in the wasteland. And something like a workshop.
He was heard by the village chief sitting at the next table.
The village chief of Yuhe Village is such a shrewd person. When he heard about new crops? workshop? His eyes lit up, and after everyone left, he immediately came to talk to Feng Jiuyou.
"Mrs. Feng, what are you going to plant? Can you bring the big guys with you?"
Feng Jiuyou's aura was so powerful that the village chief originally wanted to call her You Girl, but in the end he insisted. She was changed into Mrs. Feng.
"The village chief is too polite, I plan to plant sugar cane."
Feng Jiuyou has already thought about it. After next spring, she plans to build several workshops in Yuhe Village.
There is a sugar making workshop among them. The indispensable raw material for making sugar is sugar cane.
"Sugar cane, what is sugar cane?"
The village chief looked confused.
"I won't say much more about this. If the villagers are willing to plant it, I can provide seeds, but I have a condition."
Feng Jiuyou sold it out, and she But I have learned that sugar in this era is not extracted from sugar cane.
It is extracted from sugar beets.
Because of technology, the amount of sugar produced is very small, and only high-ranking officials and nobles can afford sugar.
"What conditions?"
The village chief asked hurriedly.
"After you plant it, you must sell it to my Feng family."
Hearing this, the village chief hesitated.
"Village Chief, don't worry, I will never treat the villagers badly. Moreover, the yield of sugarcane is very high, and the yield per mu can reach five to six thousand catties."
Feng Jiuyou saw the village chief's hesitation and threw it out directly A bomb.
"What? What did you say? Five or six thousand pounds. Are you kidding me?" The village chief jumped up from his chair in shock.
“How could I joke about something like this?”
Feng Jiuyou said with a smile, this is still a conservative output. In some places in the world, the output can reach 10,000 to 20,000 kilograms.
“You girl, with such a high output, the price will be very low.”
Hearing this output, the village chief was worried that the price would be very low, and he forgot to be nervous. He directly called Feng Jiuyouyou girl.
"Village chief, let me tell you the real price is three cents per catty."
"Three cents per catty? The yield per mu is five or six thousand catties, five or six thousand catties...three cents per pound Jin, my God, the harvest from one acre of land a year is at least fifteen taels of silver. I am not dreaming.”
When the village chief heard Feng Jiuyou's quotation, he muttered for a while and suddenly screamed.
Dalang and Erlang, who were waiting outside to eavesdrop, were all shocked.
“What was my aunt talking to the village chief? Grandpa was so excited.”
“My aunt is so powerful, she must have said something shocking.”
Goro said cutely.
"You smart guy, can you speak?"
Dalang knocked on his forehead.
"Ouch...Brother, why are you so fierce."
Wu Lang rubbed his head that was hurt by the beating in grievance.
He is right again.
Feng Jiuyou glanced at Dalang Erlang and the others who were eavesdropping outside, and then said to the village chief who had calmed down:
"Not only that, this sugarcane planting can be harvested twice, but The second yield was not as high as the first, and the quality was not as good as the first, so the price was only one cent per catty. "
"Mrs. Feng, there should be conditions for you to teach us how to grow sugar cane. Let's do it."
The calmed down village chief returned to his previous shrewdness and said while looking at Feng Jiuyou who was talking eloquently.
