When the village chief arrived at Gu's house, Jiang Mian was instructing Gu Dali to move more than a dozen sacks of seeds to the oxcart in the yard.

The village chief understood everything when he saw Patriarch Gu who was almost bursting into laughter.

"The head of the Gu family is here!"

The patriarch of the Gu family turned around to see the village chief and exchanged a few words with him.

Jiang Mian brought the water to the village chief to drink.

"Village chief, are you here today?"

"It's not just about growing food."

"Village chief, what does your family want? That's easy to say, how much does it cost?"

The village chief chuckled, "Gu Xiao's wife, I not only want it for myself, but also for the people in the village."

"I know that the people in the village are unhappy with you because of what happened at Niubei Mountain. I'm here to say sorry to you on their behalf. Can you and Gu Xiao just ignore the faults of minors?"

The village chief came to be this lobbyist, and he did come with a shy face.

The people in the village are seriously ill with red eye disease, have bad mouths, and don't look good at others.

Just because of the brick kiln in Niubei Mountain, Jiang Mian's family didn't know how many bad things were said about them.

When he was pushed to ask for grain, his face became agitated.

When Jiang Mian heard this, it turned out to be this.

"Village chief, you also know how the villagers scold our family behind our backs. We don't have much friendship with them."

"Here, Gu Xiao's wife, it's natural that they are wrong when they curse. I will teach them a lesson when I go back! Don't be angry, they are not having a good life, so they only look at the good things of others. They are all from the same village, help.

Help?"

"Village Chief, I'm not going to hide it from you. The county magistrate has taken a liking to my grain seed. He asked for one hundred coins per catty to take over my family's grain seed."

"One hundred coins?!"

Now not only the village chief exclaimed, but also the Gu clan chief.

One hundred coins per pound!

Nowadays, the best golden silk cotton rice is only eighty cents per catty, but the grain from his family costs one hundred cents per catty?

Patriarch Gu looked at the grain on the bullock cart as if he was holding a hot potato.

One acre of land requires about eight kilograms of grain seeds. His family has twelve acres of land and only needs ninety-six kilograms of grain seeds. However, he and Jiang Mian bought more than three hundred kilograms of grain seeds, and the rest of the grain seeds are from his family.

Relatives want it.

One hundred cents per catty of grain seeds was bought back with the price of ordinary grain seeds.

Twenty cents per catty, he still has the guts to find it expensive...

Patriarch Gu looked at Gu Yanning, "Boy, I only need six taels of silver for these hundreds of kilograms of millet, right?"

Gu Yanning looked at Patriarch Gu doubtfully, "Of course. Otherwise?"

Patriarch Gu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Good boy, good boy!"

The clan leader asked: "Gu Xiao, how will your harvest be this year? How much are you going to use as grain seeds?"

Gu Yanning said: "Use them all as food seeds."

"All?" Patriarch Gu thought of the warehouse full of rice he saw just now. There must be tens of thousands of kilograms of rice in that warehouse, right?

He asked uncertainly: "Can it be sold?"

"Yes." Gu Yanning said concisely and to the point.

Patriarch Gu rubbed his hands and asked, "Can you leave some more for the clan members?"

Gu Yanning looked straight at Jiang Mian, meaning that he couldn't do this.

Jiang Mian said: "The patriarch, the county magistrate and the Mu family have all bought a lot of grain. Now I only have two thousand kilograms of grain left to sell. I know that life is not easy for the people in the village.

Let’s do this, it’s still twenty cents per catty. You and the village chief can discuss how much you want.”

"But this is just the price I give to my tribe and villagers. As you both know, I lose every pound I sell, so I have to ask you to help us check it."

As soon as Jiang Mian's words reached everyone's ears, it caused a stir.

"Twenty cents per catty? Why didn't she go and grab it? We all come from the same village..."

Before the speaker could finish speaking, he was interrupted unceremoniously by the village chief.

"Twenty cents per catty is too expensive? They sell it to outsiders, but it's one hundred cents per catty! Zhang Gouzi, you don't want it, there are a lot of people rushing to get it!"

The figure of one hundred Wen unsurprisingly shocked everyone.

"You don't even think about your own virtues!"

"Zhang Gouzi, your wife has been slandering the Jiang family a lot, right?"

"Liuzi, you scold the Gu family a lot, right?"

"Hu Quan's wife, you cursed her a lot, right?"

"Now the Gu Xiao family can ignore your mouths full of powdered excrement and are willing to sell grain seeds to you at low prices. Just be satisfied! Now they only produce one thousand kilograms of grain seeds, which is not enough in the first place. What a nonsense.

, no need to buy it!”

The village chief's words silenced everyone.

"I'll make it clear that one acre of land, even the middle field among Gu Xiao and his friends, can produce eight shi of grain. You decide for yourself whether you want to buy it. If you want it, come to me at noon tomorrow and tell me that there is little grain. I will give it to you depending on the situation.

You allocate."

A group of people were chattering around.

Like Jiang Mian and others, the rice they grow in Zhongtian can produce up to five shi of rice per acre, which is six hundred kilograms of rice.

And Jiang Mian's rice can produce eight shi per acre, which is 960 kilograms of grain.

According to the current price of grain, a pound of rice costing ten cents can earn an additional 3,600 cents.

Eight pounds of grain per acre costs 160 cash, but it can be exchanged for 3600 cash, which is a huge profit!

Anyone who wanted to know quietly went to the village chief to make a reservation.

I didn’t understand it, and I still said with disdain that I could wait until next year and buy from the villagers. I don’t know how much money I could save this way!

On Patriarch Gu's side, there are not so many twists and turns.

Chief Gu gathered his clan members together, and after talking about this matter, he directly unified the land of each clan's family and divided a thousand kilograms of rice among them in equal shares.

Saved a lot of things.

The matter of grain planting has come to an end for now.

The New Year is ushered in in a blink of an eye.

The first snow this year came late, and it only started to snow sporadically at the junction of the 30th of the New Year and the first day of the Lunar New Year.

As soon as the white and frosty snow fell to the ground, it melted.

People in the village are lamenting that this year is a warm one.

The firecrackers on the first day of the Lunar New Year went off on time at midnight.

Brilliant fireworks filled the night sky.

"mother!"

"Aunt Jiang!"

"Cousin!"

"Mrs. Gu!"

Jiang Mian heard the sound and looked at Dabao, Erbao, Sanbao, Sibao, Qin Qianqian, Yu Changhuan, Shitou and Xiaoshan in the yard.

They all have smiles on their faces.

"Happy New Year!" they said in unison.

Jiang Mian chuckled, "Happy New Year!"

This is her second year in this world.

From the time she first arrived until now, she has never felt lonely or uncomfortable for a moment.

Because, accompanying her was Gu Yanning.

Because, accompanying her, there were Zazai.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Yanning, who had a naive look on his face: "Happy New Year, Ning Zai."

Gu Yanning lowered his eyes and accurately put a blush on Jiang Mian's right cheek, "Have a prosperous New Year, Mian Mian."

In the New Year, it is inevitable to have a lot of excitement.

For example, Sambo blew up the chicken coop again.

With a dark face, Jiang Mian searched all the explosives in Sanbao's pockets and shouted at Gu Yanning: "Don't teach Erbao how to make explosives again!"

At the same time, the second treasure who made explosives was sent to sweep the chicken coop.

As for the three treasures, they were taken to memorize the pharmacopoeia together with the four treasures.

The happy new year will be over soon.

Dabao and several other boys carried their book baskets and went to Zhiheng Academy to take the entrance exam.

Dabao and Erbao both looked excited.
