Chapter 230 Serious Matter

"What's the matter with the village chief at this noon?"

People gathered together one after another and started talking among themselves.

"I don't know. Calling us here at this time must be something very urgent."

"I heard that a few days ago, someone in a village near Cuiwei Lake pretended to be a ghost and cheated people out of their money. Could it be a warning to us not to be fooled? After all, the wheat harvest has just come, and many people have sold their money. Now should be the time when scammers are everywhere."

"That's possible, but speaking of playing tricks, isn't it said that this Ning girl also caught some ghosts in front of her shop before? Does this count as playing tricks?"

"Does this count? This is different from that case. In Ning's case, someone was playing tricks at the door of her shop. I heard that they asked Ning for money, and kept destroying her shop if she didn't pay. Ning had no choice but to resort to this method. Besides, Ning didn't cheat anyone out of money. She was just protecting herself. It doesn't count as playing tricks."

"That's right. It's not right that if someone slaps you in the face, you won't fight back. Then the other person will beat you to death. How can that be justified?"

"That's right, this doesn't count at all..."

"Okay, don't dwell on this matter anymore. This might not be what the village head was going to say, but you guys guessed it first. I saw a sack next to the village head. I don't know what's in it. Could it be that someone came to harvest wheat from our place?"

"Maybe they're going to give out something, for free, without paying for it?"

"Hey, hey, it's already noon, are you still asleep?"

"That's right. There is no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world. Even if there is, I'm not saying that you may not be able to snatch it better than a dog. What good things are you dreaming of?"

“…”

When these people gathered together, they started to chat. They were chatting very enthusiastically, and for a while, the space under the big tung tree was quite lively.

At this moment, Zhuang Qingning was also surrounded by some aunts and sisters, who asked about her well-being.

"Ning has grown taller in the past two days. Her head is almost as tall as mine."

"That's right. She will be quite tall and good-looking in the future. She won't have to worry about finding a husband."

"Don't tease Ning girl. She is just a little girl. It's not too late to ask for her husband's family two years later. Besides, Ning girl has established a female household. She can recruit a son-in-law in the future. This son-in-law must be carefully selected. Ning girl has her own ideas. Don't talk nonsense and embarrass Ning girl."

"It's just a joke, don't take it seriously, Ning..."

The current situation was very similar to the New Year in his previous life, when he was surrounded by relatives and friends and was greeted and politely by them. Zhuang Qingning smiled and responded to the greetings without any impatience.

These aunties and grandmothers felt that Zhuang Qingning was easy to talk to, and they became more and more lively when they chatted.

Zhuang Jingye saw that most of the people had arrived, so he cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Stop chatting and talk about something serious."

When they heard that Zhuang Jingye had something serious to say, the people who were chatting earlier stopped gossiping immediately and just looked at Zhuang Jingye who was standing on the stool.

"It's almost autumn planting time. This year, I know that everyone is planning to plant more beans because of Ning Yatou's tofu shop, thinking that they can sell more beans for more money. Now, I have some bean seeds here, which are specially sold by merchants from Lu. They look big and round. The beans grown from these seeds have deep roots, strong seedlings, and produce a lot of beans."

"After hearing this, I thought that if our village could use these good bean seeds in the autumn planting, we would have a good harvest in the autumn and let everyone sell more money, which would be a good thing, so I asked someone to bring some bean seeds back."

"The price of this bean seed is not expensive. It is the same as the price of ordinary bean seeds here. Two catties of beans can be exchanged for one catty of bean seeds. If you pay cash, it is one cent per catty. Because this bean seed is new, if you are worried now, you can take the bean seeds without paying. When the beans are harvested, you can return the beans at the rate of two catties of soybeans for one catty of bean seeds."

"Now I know that the Yonghe family and the Sifu family are going to plant this bean seed. If other families are willing to plant this bean seed, they can come to me, report the number, and let me write it down, and then they can take the bean seeds back home..."

As soon as Zhuang Jingye finished speaking, the person who had been listening to him carefully with his eyes wide open was stunned for a moment, and then started discussing with the people around him.

After some discussion, someone suddenly raised his voice and said, "Uncle Lizheng, what if these bean seeds are not as good as you said? We have to take a look at them first."

"That's no problem." Zhuang Jingye nodded. "You just come and take a look. These sacks are all bean seeds. Come and see if the seeds are round. Look at each one. They are much better than our ordinary beans."

After hearing what Zhuang Jingye said, many people gathered around and scooped up a handful of beans to take a look.

"It looks good, and the price is fair."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"It's not only fair, but you can also plant the beans first and get paid for them later. You won't suffer any loss at all." Zhuang Jingye said with a smile.

"But these bean seeds look big. What if they don't grow well after planting?" someone else raised the question.

"That's right. Look at the radishes we plant on a daily basis. Some of them have good buds but poor radishes, and some have bad buds but poor radishes. What if these bean seeds look big but don't grow well? What should we do?"

"That's easy." Zhuang Jingye explained, "I'll give each of you a little bit of these bean seeds. You can plant them in the yard along with your own bean seeds to see which bean seeds sprout first, how many sprout, and how the seedlings grow. That way, you can tell, right?"

"But you insist on telling me that a good sprout may not necessarily produce many beans. I can't take that up. If you say that this bean seed may not produce beans, can you guarantee that your bean seeds will definitely produce beans?"

"What do you mean a bad bamboo can produce good shoots? A good bamboo may produce bad shoots, but that is a special case. It is rare. Normally, good seeds will grow well."

"Well, I think we can get some good bean seeds, and our villagers can make more money. As the village head, I can also get some honor, so I am willing to do this. But for me, it's just a matter of face. You guys make more money because of this, and I get some honor. If it's the same as in previous years, then I'll be the same as before, and it won't be embarrassing. But for you, it's a matter of making real money. You can think about it and make a decision."
