Chapter 251 Urgent Order of Pottery Basins
Shen Yi was still thinking about how to operate and didn't care about the weather changes at all.
After a break in training, Zhu Yixuan walked over to Shen Yi and said, "I see that you seem to be worried lately, but has something happened at home?"
He had been keeping an eye on Shen Yi since he entered the military camp. In addition to the reasons of Ke Yunyun and Zhu Kangcheng, it was more because of Shen Yi's abilities.
This man had an ordinary background and didn't look special, but he was like a different person when he got on the battlefield. Not only was he alert, but he also had a strong ability to predict the enemy's movements in advance. He was in danger several times and was able to turn danger into safety only by following Shen Yi.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to say that Shen Yi was a strong opponent who was worthy of his attention.
This time, when the officials who transported the corpses came back, he also received things and news sent from home. Naturally, he also inquired about the situation on Shen Yi's side. It seemed that Shen Yi had been acting strange since he received the things, and he couldn't help but worry.
Shen Yi put away his thoughts and chuckled politely, "Nothing, I'm just worried about the weather."
"Weather?" Zhu Yixuan looked up at the sky. The weather this year seemed a little strange. Now we are on the battlefield, and even if the weather is bad, it won't change anything. "By the way, I heard that you received something from your family. Do you know the situation at home?"
Shen Yi knew what he wanted to ask, and only said: “Everything is fine at home, my wife assured me, you don’t have to worry about them.”
"That's good, that's good." Zhu Yixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Perhaps he didn't want to owe Chen Yi too many favors, so he turned his head to look at Xiong Kai in his team, lowered his head and whispered to Chen Yi: "That Xiong Kai has a grudge against you, right? I found him secretly watching you several times, and his eyes were not right. You should worry about it yourself. Although he is a soldier under my command, there are so many people, and I may not be able to notice his existence on the battlefield."
"Thank you!" Shen Yi clasped his fists towards Zhu Yixuan. He had a vague plan in his mind, but it was not thorough enough.
Spring ploughing begins.
The old people in Shenjia Village were discussing the weather and the war, and how to plant the land this year. Everyone agreed to grow grain, but the money the fruits brought them was real, and they didn't want to give it up.
A meeting was held in the village.
All the villagers were present and gathered together to discuss the matter.
It has been raining heavily in spring for two days, and the villagers' anxiety is growing.
Su Tai walked in holding an oil-paper umbrella.
The noise in the lobby was noticeably quieter.
Xu hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Su Tai in front of several village elders. "Shen Yi's wife told me before that we can use wooden pots to transplant strawberries and watermelons. Come on, Xiao Tai, tell everyone about it."
Su Tai bowed to everyone and spoke slowly, "What Second Aunt said is true. I did tell her that it can be done this way. My mother's family has a lot of land, and they have already made wooden barrels in advance. My suggestion is to make use of the wasteland on the hillside in the village and use wooden pots for transplanting."
A woman asked in confusion: "It's so troublesome to use a wooden basin, why don't you just plant it in the wasteland?"
Su Tai raised her lips in amusement, "Because the wooden basin can be moved, it doesn't count as land reclamation, so no tax is required! Don't you think the current tax increase is not fast enough?"
Many people suddenly realized what was going on and shut up.
Shen Ying asked seriously, "Mr. Shen Yi, are you sure this method will work? Can the transplanted fruits really survive? You know, this is the third year they have been growing apples. If what you said is right, our fruits will definitely be affected when the apples come down this year."
Su Tai shook her head firmly, "Village Chief, even if there is a bumper apple harvest this year, that will be after the autumn harvest, which is not in the same season as our fruits. Your worry is a bit unnecessary. Anyway, my suggestion is to make wooden basins, transplant the fruit seedlings, and plant food in the fields.
But what we should worry about is the weather. The best way is to drain the fields to prevent the crops from being soaked and rotten."
"Yes, yes! We've never seen so much rain in early spring in previous years. You said we could still find ways to get water if there was drought, but now there's too much water I don't know how to deal with it!" Huang Xinghua was very worried.
They are located inland, with insufficient moisture and common water shortages, but there has never been a flood. This is the first time that the elderly people in the village have encountered such weather.
Everyone was worried and wanted to go into the mountains to cut wood for potted plants, but they shelved the plan because of the heavy rain.
The spring ploughing period is so short that it will be troublesome if you miss it.
The villagers were so worried that they couldn't sleep at night.
Su Tai still had so many fields, and she was very anxious.
At times like this, we can only seek help from the Gate of Time and Space.
She hurried to the Huo Shikong Brick Kiln Factory and asked the boss to customize a batch of highly permeable unglazed ceramic pots, which were extra-large in size so that several strawberries could be planted in one pot.
The boss listened to her request and looked at her sideways. "Miss, the ceramic basins you want require a batch of customized templates. It will take at least three days to ship. How many do you want?"
Su Tai thought for a moment and said, "The more the better. My family will probably need 10,000 of them. There may be others who will want to buy them, but I'm not sure."
The boss's eyes lit up and his attitude instantly became more positive. "Dear Madam, how about our clay basins for 15 yuan each? I will give you the first batch in three days."
Su Tai agreed readily.
She first asked for 10,000 pottery basins, and instantly her virtual currency was reduced by 150,000.
When she got home, she immediately ran to find Shen Ying and told him about the situation here.
Shen Ying was so excited that he slapped his thigh and jumped up, "Xiao Tai! You are really the savior of our village! I will notify everyone right away and tell them to come find you if they want you."
Su Tai stopped Shen Ying and said, "Village Chief, wait a minute. Let me tell you about their quote. I want an extra-large pottery basin, custom-made. They want thirty cents for each one. I see that there are many families growing fruit trees in the village, and the quantity they need is also large. I'm afraid they will cost tens of millions at least."
Shen Ying waved his hand, "Even if it costs tens of millions, we have to spend this money. If it really succeeds, we can continue to grow fruits, and it won't interfere with growing grain. This money must be spent."
"In that case, the village chief would like to tell everyone that I only accept silver and small change. After all, there are so many people asking for it, and I can't go out carrying a pile of copper coins, right?" Su Tai said.
Shen Yi nodded, "That's right, wait, I'll tell you right away."
In just half a day, Shen Ying and several villagers found Su Tai and asked Su Tai to go to the school together to let Tang Yu be a witness.
"Xiao Tai, it's not that I don't believe you, but with such a large sum of money, we have to find a way to deal with it, so that the villagers behind us won't have any complaints." Shen Ying's face flushed, feeling aggrieved and helpless.
He himself trusted Su Tai, but not everyone was like him. Alas! It was not easy to be the village chief.
Su Tai smiled and expressed her understanding, "We do need to sign a contract. I am also afraid of the trouble."
