Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Chapter 13: . Tentative

On the third day of the year, Zhang He went to Heishui Town to sell sweet potatoes and sweet potato leaves.

Now, almost all of his boiled sweet potatoes have been contracted by the rice shopkeeper.

He heard that the shopkeeper Mi received sweet potatoes, and most of them were sold in Dehua County, where they sold at higher prices. After all, there are many rich people there, and sweet potatoes are fresh.

Dehua County is 60 to 70 miles away from Heishui Town. It takes a whole day to travel hard, and it can exhaust people half to death.

Their father and son have never been to Dehua County, and it is not practical to sell them without the rice shopkeeper.

After the two settled their accounts today, Zhang Hehe did not leave immediately, he hesitated for a while before opening his mouth and said:

"Brother Mi, I have something I want to ask you to do for me."

"What's the matter, let's hear it. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

During this time, Manager Mi made a lot of money by reselling sweet potatoes. If it was a small favor, he wouldn't mind helping.

"It's like this, I've saved some money now, and I just want to buy a piece of land, but there's no way.

Brother Mi, you belong to the Wan family, can I ask you to help me find out? "

The land around Heishui Town belongs to Wanjia, even if it is a barren hill that looks overgrown with weeds, it belongs to Wanjia.

Therefore, the nearby hunters go into the mountains to hunt, the woodcutters gather firewood, and the fishermen catch fish, all of which have to pay taxes to Wanjia.

Of course, there are also very few people who own one-third of their own land, but these people regard land as more important than life. It is a family inheritance, and they will not sell it.

Therefore, if he wants to own a piece of land, he can only ask Wanjia to buy it, so that he has a chance.

"This matter may be a bit difficult to handle. After all, no one will think too much land no matter how wide it is. Even if there is long grass there, it is also their own land!"

Zhang He took out a copper coin of 100 wen that had been prepared in advance and stuffed it into the hand of the shopkeeper Mi.

"I just knew that this matter was difficult, so I found Big Brother Mi. Except for you, no one else has the ability."

The copper coins and the flattery were both presented, making the shopkeeper Mi very comfortable and comfortable.

"Okay, just for the friendship with Brother Zhang, I will help you find out, you can wait for my news."

This shopkeeper Mi is also a believer, and he began to inquire about the purchase of land from Wanjiazhuang that day.

In a hall in Wanjiazhuang, the Second Young Master was sitting on top, with a charming concubine in his arms.

The fourth housekeeper stood next to him with a smile on his face, reporting the news to him.

"You mean that kid in Zhangjialing who has an immortal relationship wants to buy land?"

"That's right, he asked someone to inquire yesterday."

Second Young Master heard the words, grabbed a large piece of soft meat in his hand and kneaded it hard, falling into thought.

The charming concubine leaning on him was so painful that tears rolled down her cheeks, but she didn't dare to make any movement so as not to disturb the second son's thinking.

After a while, the second son had already made a decision.

"You can't sell the familiar land to him, but the wasteland can be sold to him, but I don't know if he would dare to ask for it?

You help me spread the word, I can sell the wasteland of Qifeng Mountain to him. As for the price, I will charge him 100 guans. "

"what?"

The fourth housekeeper couldn't hold back and let out an exclamation.

"What, do you want to buy that land?"

"No, no, I still have the energy to reclaim the wasteland."

The fourth housekeeper quickly refused. The location of Qifeng Mountain is remote, twenty or thirty miles away from Heishui Town.

That area has been deserted for many years, and the water source is not very good. Even if it is reclaimed, only some drought-tolerant crops can be planted, and there will not be many harvests.

Most importantly, he knew there was a band of bandits lurking around there.

There are bandits on his own territory, and Wanjiazhuang is naturally unhappy. Previously, the owner of the family had organized a team of servants to go to suppress the bandits.

But this band of bandits was also extremely slippery. They hid in the mountains and played hide-and-seek with them. The bandits didn't kill a few, but lost a horse and three servants.

"Okay, let's go down!"

Second Young Master's move naturally has his intentions. There may be an Immortal Master behind Zhang He, but he is not quite sure about this matter, so this time he can just try it out.

His family did not dare to provoke an immortal master at will, but these bandits would not be so scruples.

Er Gong looked at the back of the fourth housekeeper leaving, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When the concubine in his arms saw that the second son was busy with his work, she quietly wiped away the remaining tears on her face, and continued to put on a soft and pleasant look.

Besides, after the fourth steward went down, he went directly to the shopkeeper of the rice shop and told him that the wasteland of Qifeng Mountain could be sold for 120 kan.

The next day, Zhang He delivered another load of sweet potatoes to the shopkeeper Mi.

"Brother Zhang, congratulations!

After a lot of hard work, I finally found out for you that there is a mountain called Qifeng Mountain twenty or thirty miles away.

Now this big barren mountain can be sold to you for only 150 pieces. From now on, Brother Zhang will have a piece of his own inheritance. "

Zhang He was also stunned by the sudden surprise, not knowing what to do.

He originally thought that it would be good to buy ten acres of land, but he didn't expect that Wanjia would be so generous in selling him a mountain at a time.

It's just that he has been selling sweet potatoes for so long, and now he has only a dozen or so dollars, not even a fraction.

At present, there are nearly 100,000 catties of sweet potatoes accumulated in the space. If they were all sold at the current price, they would make hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But it is impossible to sell them all at once. Now, because he has always controlled the sales, he can sell them at a high price of five cents a pound.

Rare is the most expensive thing, if he sells it in large quantities, the price will drop soon.

You must know that the same five cents per pound of corn is a dry product, UU reading www. At least half of the boiled sweet potato is water, so it is very expensive.

In addition, there are a lot of dried sweet potato vines in the space. According to preliminary estimates, they should also be able to sell for several thousand dollars.

"Can I go and have a look?"

Zhang He felt that such a big deal should at least have a look before making a decision.

"Of course there's no problem with that. I can invite two servants from the ten thousand family to accompany you."

So, the two agreed that two days later, Zhang He would go to Heishui Town to meet with Jiading, and then go to Qifeng Mountain together.

After coming out of the rice shop, Zhang He found the Fat Tiger brothers in a shack outside Heishui Town.

The two brothers helped Zhang He in a timely manner last time.

Afterwards, Zhang He gave them 100 catties of boiled sweet potatoes, plus a load of dried sweet potato vines, enough for the two of them to eat for two or three months.

"Big brother, what's the matter?"

Fat Tiger was holding a sweet potato that was deliciously roasted in his hand, and he ate it deliciously.

"I still have a lot of dried sweet potato vines that I want to sell. I don't have time recently. I wonder if you have time to help me sell it?"

Fat Tiger looked back at Magan, then nodded and said:

"Of course we are free, we just have nothing to do right now."

"Okay, then I'll give you all the sweet potato vines, and I'll give you five cents for every load you sell."

"Okay, thank you big brother!"

The fat tiger almost jumped up with joy.

Although it has warmed up now, the snow has not melted, and the wild vegetables have not sprouted this year, but many people's families have already started to run out of food.

Cheap and satisfying dried vegetables like sweet potato vines are still very popular and can be easily sold.
