When Jiang Yunshu first knew that she was going to wear it, she had so much money that she had no idea where to spend it, so she bought a lot of vegetable and fruit seeds, including watermelon seeds.

There are many kinds of watermelons, such as Qilin, Black Beauty, Early Spring Red Jade, 8424... If this is feasible, she can take it out and split the profits with the team in a 30:70 ratio.

Liang Mingli said, "It's not expensive, only 10 cents per pound. It's just that people are reluctant to spend money on it. The watermelon won't satisfy your hunger, so it's not worth it. With the money for watermelon, you can buy two pounds of sorghum flour."

Jiang Yunshu nodded in agreement: "That's true. Nowadays, everyone is so poor that they can't wait to bite anyone they see."

Everything has two extremes? Some people are poor, and some are rich, and she wants to do the business of the rich.

It is only July now, so it is still not too late to plant watermelons. You just need to pay special attention to the selection of watermelon varieties and daily field management.

The watermelons planted in July will mature in October. Compared to now, the watermelons will definitely be sold at a good price by then. The Hongqi Brigade is mostly covered with sandy land, which is the best choice for growing watermelons.

Sandy soil has strong water permeability and good air permeability, which is conducive to the growth of watermelons and can also help accumulate sugar in watermelons. By then, the watermelons produced will definitely be big and sweet.

The more Jiang Yunshu thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. He immediately decided to go to the captain's house after dinner to discuss growing watermelons with him.

I think the team leader would agree to a project that can generate income for the team.

"You are the poor ones, but I am not poor." Wan Xinyu, who had rarely won a game, started to show off.

He has nothing but a lot of money. The same is true for the Wan family. When their ancestor was an imperial chef, he received a lot of rewards. Although a lot of them have been donated now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

Not to mention that the good things in their Wan family are all well hidden. There are several boxes of gold bars alone... enough for him to have food and drink for several lifetimes.

"In that case, don't eat the watermelon. Go buy it yourself." Jiang Yunshu said, and reached out to grab the watermelon from Wan Xinyu's hand.

Wan Xinyu, fearing that the watermelon would be snatched away, hurriedly put it into his mouth. He ate the watermelon in a rather dirty manner, with half of his face buried in the watermelon. He looked like a starving ghost who had not eaten enough for hundreds of years.

Jiang Yunshu was successfully disgusted, and so were the others, especially Du Piaoliang, who looked at Wan Xinyu with an indescribable expression.

Is this still the Wan Zhiqing she knew before? Why is he not the same at all? And the way he looked at Jiang Zhiqing yesterday...

Grandma Tang couldn’t bear to throw away the leftover watermelon rinds, so she collected them all and planned to make a refreshing and delicious cold watermelon rind dish tonight.

After work, Gu Jiuyan went into the kitchen to busy himself. Seeing that it would take him a while to finish cooking, Jiang Yunshu took the time to go to the Du family, hoping to get the watermelon planting done as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if it’s any later, I’ll miss the opportunity to grow watermelons.

The Du family was also cooking at this time. Guo Feng'e invited Jiang Yunshu to have dinner at home, but Jiang Yunshu refused.

Someone at home was preparing a big meal, so she wanted to save her stomach for some delicious food later. She was looking forward to seeing Gu Jiuyan’s cooking skills.

Guo Feng'e did not force it. She asked her eldest daughter-in-law to pour two bowls of tea and went to the kitchen to busy herself. Only Jiang Yunshu and Du Shouquan were left in the room.

Du Shouquan became angry when he thought about that day at the riverside when Jiang Yunshu threw Gao Hongyan into the river despite the dissuasion and did not allow others to go into the river to rescue her.

Gao Hongyan was at fault first, so she can be handed over to the commune and the police for handling, but they cannot act recklessly. If everyone in the team follows suit, wouldn't there be chaos in the future?

"Captain, are you still angry?" Jiang Yunshu asked knowingly.

"No." Du Shouquan turned his head away and refused to look at her.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go to the next brigade and talk to the brigade leader about growing watermelons.

If we can grow these watermelons well, we can make a lot of money. But our team probably doesn’t need a few watermelons or dates…”

"Jiang Zhiqing!" Du Shouquan lost his composure. He stood up from his chair and stopped Jiang Yunshu who was about to leave.

Jiang Yunshu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Captain, are you not angry with me anymore?"

"No, tell me about growing watermelons first." Du Shouquan was so excited that his old face turned red.

As long as he could make money and lead his teammates to a good life, he would never dare to be angry with her. Even if she asked him to twist his head off and let Jiang Yunshu kick it like a ball, he would be willing to do so.

"It's only July now, so we can catch up with the last crop of watermelons. Plus, our brigade grows sandy land, so the yield of watermelons won't be too low.

By then, we can take the watermelons grown by our team directly to the wealthy counties nearby and sell them. We can make a lot of money. When we have money, we can do other things to make a living. By then, we can do both farming and breeding. Not only can the team members have enough food and clothing, but they can also eat well and have meat every meal. There won't be so many bachelors in our team anymore."

In the final analysis, it's all because of poverty.

Du Shouquan's blood boiled when he heard this, and he wanted to drag Jiang Yunshu to plant watermelons right now. But when he calmed down, he looked a little worried:

"Jiang Zhiqing, no one in our brigade knows how to grow watermelons."

The little food in the fields is not enough to fill their stomachs, so how can they think about doing anything else? Their team has never grown watermelons before.

Jiang Yunshu said confidently, "The people on the team can't do it, but I can. I can grow watermelons."

She is best at growing watermelons.

"Really? Jiang Zhiqing, you can also grow watermelons?" Du Shouquan looked at Jiang Yunshu in disbelief.

"Captain, when did I ever lie to you? I told you I could feed the pigs, and you can see now that I've fed those twenty or so pigs in the pigpen until they're plump and white."

"That's true. You have indeed fed the pigs in the pigsty well. In that case, Jiang Zhiqing, I believe you. Just tell me what you need me to do. I can do it." Looking at the skinny and small Jiang Yunshu, Du Shouquan chose to give it a try.

If it succeeds, it will be a relief to the team. If it fails, it won’t be too bad. However, Du Shouquan has a hunch that this thing will succeed.

Jiang Yunshu said, "I will provide the watermelon seeds and will also be responsible for field management. When it comes time to harvest the fruits, we will split the profits 70% to 30%, with 30% going to me and 70% going to the team.

Of course, if anything goes wrong with the watermelon, I'll be responsible. Captain, if you agree, I'll do it. If not, just pretend I wasn't here today."

If Jiang Yunshu couldn't get anything good out of his efforts, he would not do it. If he did it, he would do it for real money. Any honor or praise was far less real than money.

She just loves money.

Du Shouquan said: "It's the same as last time. I can't make the decision. I have to discuss it with the team."

"Okay, but you have to do it quickly, otherwise if you miss it you'll have to wait until next year."
