Chapter 306: Coaxing and scaring
There was still some way out from the village entrance. Baitao accidentally caught sight of Bai Tiechui not far away, so he called over: "Send Sister Tao off for me."
"Yes, great aunt."
Baitao waved to Tao Jiaren: "Sister Tao, please go slower on the road."
"Okay."
At this time, just a little bit of snow was swirling and falling, which suddenly made the atmosphere of separation somewhat desolate.
Baitao looked up, her eyes suddenly lit up, she turned to Bai Dashan and said with great surprise: "It's snowing."
“A snowy day goes best with milk tea hotpot!”
Bai Dashan understood: "Auntie, I will tell Duoxi soon and ask him to serve you the pot later."
"Yes." Baitao was satisfied and looked at Tao Jiaren subconsciously.
Before she could speak, Tao Jiaren understood and said with a smile: "Go back quickly. I have to hurry. I can't have hot pot with you today."
"Well, that's such a pity." The next second, Baitao smiled again and said: "But it doesn't matter. When Sister Tao is free, we can be together."
Looking at Baitao's little figure skipping away happily, Tao Jiaren smiled: "That's great."
On the side, Bai Tiechui said without thinking, "Our aunt has always been very good."
Their aunt is the most powerful, best and best aunt.
Tao Jiaren just glanced at Bai Tiechui: "Let's go."
She felt that even if she didn't say anything, Peach Blossom Village's habit of protecting Baitao and her eyes would definitely make Baitao as carefree as possible.
Speaking of which, Baitao is still young, so why is he so keen on making money?
However, her little money-obsessed appearance is indeed quite naive.
On the way Bai Tiechui sent Tao Jiaren out, he saw that she had no idea what she was thinking of, and kept smiling at the corner of her mouth. She wanted to open her mouth to ask several times, but she swallowed the words again.
dinner.
Baitao not only ate hot pot, but also fulfilled her wish to eat sheep.
From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the big man eating happily, and her forehead twitched when she saw that he was wearing a big red flowered jacket again. She had obviously given him other cotton clothes and trousers, and also gave him a thick cotton military coat.
He also... Baitao looked away speechlessly, forget it, just wear it this way if he likes it.
The light snow fell heavier and heavier in the afternoon, and by evening it was already deep enough to cover people's ankles.
When Bai Dashan saw it, he thought of the popular science knowledge in the video, and quickly ordered people to go to the upper and lower villages to inform them.
"Tell them that if they don't listen, I won't sell anything to them in the future." Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it's not as effective as a threat.
Bai Dashan learned this principle from Baitao.
At this time, some people in the upper and lower villages were still excited about seeing snow for the first time.
Some people are worried: "It's snowing and it's so cold. How are we going to plant crops then?"
Someone immediately explained: "The fields will thaw when spring begins. Besides, the snow is not heavy, so it will be fine."
"Fortunately, the little boss sent us something, otherwise..." Thick cotton clothes were made of cotton, and we put them on, roasting on the stove, eating roasted sweet potatoes, and felt warm all over our bodies.
Nowadays, every household has prepared New Year products in the kitchen, including pork, chicken, fish and some beef.
Although the vegetables only include Chinese cabbage, winter melon, pumpkin, and potatoes, they are still extremely rich for people.
In previous years, even if they had not left their hometowns, they did not have these things at home.
During the Chinese New Year, if you can cut some meat and stir-fry a bowl, and each person in your family can eat two pieces, it will be considered good. As for vegetables, it will be good if you can save some wild vegetables to eat dry. Such a life was something they had never dreamed of before.
Therefore, even if there is snow falling outside the house at this time, the curvature of the corners of people's mouths is still rising.
As long as they are well fed and clothed, have food at home, and money in their hands, people will not panic.
Idle time was also idle. Some women gathered together in twos and threes with sewing baskets, warming themselves by the fire while doing needlework. They also talked about their parents' shortcomings.
"Have you heard that we will plant some potatoes in the spring?"
Yang Xianglian also spoke after hearing this: "I heard about it too."
As the daughter-in-law of the village chief of Shangcun, Mrs. Zhou was naturally well-informed. She nodded: "Yes."
"My family has told me that the little boss over there in Taohua Village means that in this first year, we will grow more potatoes and sweet potatoes."
"It's great. When I ate potatoes for the first time, I was thinking, it would be great if we could grow such a delicious thing ourselves."
Yang Xianglian: "Sisters-in-law, I have heard that these potatoes have a high yield."
Mrs. Zhou nodded: "Yes, it's hard to go hungry after planting these two."
"I don't care whether other people grow or not, but my family must grow." The speaker looked expectant.
There are a lot of people in her family. If she takes care of her well, she will be twenty or thirty pounds heavier by then, and no one will starve to death.
During this journey of escaping, I knew very well what it was like to be hungry.
Others said yes.
In fact, the people in Shangcun and Xiacun admire Peach Blossom Village and Baitao very much. People have a herd mentality. As long as most people in a village are willing, others will not refuse.
Regarding the crop yield, Baitao only told the people in Taohua Village, but no one in Taohua Village told the outside world, so the outside world did not know the specific number.
In ancient times, when a yield of 200 jins per mu was generally considered a very good harvest, if you said there were crops that could yield 1,800 jins per mu, others would not believe it and would only think you were deceiving others.
The people of Taohua Village naturally believed in Baitao's words, but at the same time they also knew that the outside world would not be able to tolerate the great aunt as she was so capable, so they had to protect her little old lady.
Anyway, as long as my aunt has them, people outside will believe it or not.
When the people from Taohua Village came to notify them, Zhou Yang and Kong Daming took it very seriously, repeatedly said yes, and immediately started notifying them door to door.
Afraid that some people would not take it seriously, in order to make the villagers take notice, the two simply coaxed and frightened them and said: "The little boss is also worried about everyone, so he sent someone to inform us despite the wind and snow."
"You guys must understand the painstaking efforts of the little boss."
After saying this, people were moved and expressed that they would listen.
On a snowy day, people were sent from Peach Blossom Village. Even Peach Blossom Village took notice of it. Anyone with a brain would know not to ignore it.
The next morning.
The door opened, and there was a vast expanse of white outside.
With Bai Dashan sending people to notify yesterday, Zhou Yang and Kong Daming were also responsible for various warnings.
People in the upper and lower villages who have never seen snow pay great attention to it. They wear warm clothes and do not close the doors and windows tightly while burning the stove in the house.
Of course, everyone lives in a wooden house. Although the exterior walls are mixed with clay and hay to keep warm, they are not perfectly seamless.
In addition, the windows were specially opened for ventilation, so there were no cases of frostbite or coal poisoning.
