Chapter 217: Dirty and Dusty
Sister Xiaoya is born with good fortune. The potatoes she sent are definitely different from those grown by those rough guys in the military camp. Her potatoes used as seeds will definitely yield a great harvest!
You can plant it now.
"Sister Xiaoya is so generous and thoughtful!" Zhong Jing exclaimed.
Sister Xiaoya is so kind and generous, he can't just remain silent.
Soon, a large truckload of seafood arrived at the Zhao family's home in Yancun. It included both dried and fresh produce. The fresh produce, though scarce, had been transported at top speed from the coast of Guangzhan County, making it incredibly valuable. The assortment of fish, shrimp, abalone, oysters, hairtail, sea urchin, and conch was incredibly delicious. That evening, all the fresh produce was cooked in a pot, and everyone enjoyed a hearty meal.
In addition to seafood, there was a large bag of beautiful shells for the children to play with, and thirty or forty coconuts.
Uncle Hu sighed again, "You can't even get such fresh seafood in Beijing! Dried seafood is good, but it's nowhere near as delicious. This is truly a treasure trove!"
Zhao Liya smiled and said, "Guangzhan County isn't far from here. It's a pity that my parents and I can't leave the county openly. Otherwise, I would definitely take my parents and Xiang'er, Lin'er, Nian'er and the others to the beach to take a stroll, see the sea, and find seafood. That would be fun. However, we can't go, but you, Aunt Hu, and my brother can go. It'll take less than a day by car!"
Uncle Hu seemed fascinated by what he heard, but he still smiled and shook his head. He said with a firm smile, "What's the point of just a few of us going? Besides, we don't know anything. Of course, we should go together later. Then we can listen to what you have to say, Aya. That would be interesting."
Zhao Liya also laughed and nodded, saying, "Okay, let's go together then!"
There will definitely be a day when everyone can have fun at the beach openly!
The Zhao family's potato business is in full swing, and of course it cannot be hidden from Mao Dexing who has been keeping an eye on them.
Seeing vendors flocking to the Bajiaozhai potato workshop to buy potatoes, and hearing that the workshop had also started operations, Mao Dexing was almost jealous to death. He didn't know what the workshop was doing, but he could imagine that it must be a profitable business.
However, he couldn't issue an order prohibiting merchants and restaurants from buying potatoes.
He might be able to use his brother-in-law's power to threaten a few big businesses not to cooperate with Zhao Liya and others, but it would be impossible for him to make all vendors and restaurants listen to him.
Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents. If he really did that, the impact would be too wide and there would definitely be complaints. Then his brother-in-law would not forgive him.
But seeing that the potatoes were selling so well, he was unwilling to give up.
A fool like Zhao Liya, selling something so popular and easy to sell for only five coins per pound, is crazy! If it were him, he would definitely charge one coin per pound. If it doesn't sell well in the county town, won't he transport it to the provincial capital?
The price has increased by who knows how many times, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell it!
If the boss knew she was destroying things like this, I wonder what his reaction would be? He'd better break up with her!
Mao Dexing originally wanted to send people to sneak in to cause trouble during the chaos, but all the people working were divided into groups in an orderly manner. Although there seemed to be a lot of people, in fact, everyone was doing their job and there was no chaos at all. His people had no way of sneaking in at all.
Seven hundred acres of potatoes is not too few, but not too many either.
In particular, there were quite a lot of people digging potatoes. In less than four days, all the potatoes had been dug and sent back to the potato workshop.
Next, everyone started to prepare the land.
The potato workshop is still bustling with activity, selling goods and working, everyone is busy.
Mao Dexing had not yet thought of a way to make trouble. After the harvest, he was furious again and sent Luo Shuyu back, ordering her to find out what was going on in the potato workshop.
The restaurants and vendors who went to buy potatoes had asked curiously, but no one told them and they couldn't see them.
In addition, they were afraid of angering the Zhao family and not being able to buy potatoes, so since they were not told anything, they knew better than to ask. Some of them were smart and even found Uncle Hu and Manager Xiao Liang in private, and made friends with them with a smile on their faces, asking them not to forget to sell the good things in the workshop to their own families after they made them.
As for the price, that's certainly negotiable.
Leader Hu and Manager Xiao Liang were practicing Tai Chi with a smile on their faces and were very friendly to others.
Things are definitely meant to be sold, but it’s hard to say how they’re going to be sold.
You’ll know when you get it.
Luo Shuyu didn't want to go back to Yancun at all, but she didn't dare to refuse.
She knew very well that this was the only use she had that made the young master interested in her.
Zhao Liya and the others naturally knew that Luo Shuyu had returned to the village, but no one cared.
Everyone is busy with potatoes now, who cares about her?
Luo Shuyu shamelessly went to Zhao's house and knocked on the door, like a fly, which was really annoying.
I was too lazy to argue with her before, and I tolerated her, but she got even worse! In this case, don't blame others.
At night, Lin Mo simply came to warn her. If she continued like this, she might as well just give up her legs.
Luo Shuyu was scared to death and never dared to be a fly at the door again.
If Lin Mo broke her legs in the middle of the night without anyone noticing, who would she turn to for justice?
Luo Shuyu had no choice but to set his sights directly on the workshop.
This is even more unacceptable.
The workshop was built in Bajiao Village. How many people in Bajiao Village relied on potatoes and the workshop to make money to improve their lives? Zhao Liya had already spread the word that this woman was not a good person. How could anyone say anything good about her when they saw her?
The people in Bajiaozhai didn't allow Luo Shuyu to enter the village at all.
"Go away, you are not welcome here!"
"Take a break? No, no, hurry up!"
"Heh, we are so domineering, what do you say?"
Luo Shuyu was almost angry to death.
"I am the favorite concubine of the county magistrate's brother-in-law!"
The people in Bajiao Village were not frightened by this. Instead, they exclaimed, "Oh!" and asked, "Why did you come to our village instead of staying at the county magistrate's brother-in-law's house?"
Luo Shuyu was suddenly speechless.
This sounds as if I have fallen out of favor, which is really unlucky!
Luo Shuyu's identity is not good enough, is she trying to scam people? That's out of the question. If she dares to scam people, the people in Bajiao Village will throw her out!
Could Mao Dexing come and help her get justice?
Bajiaozhai is not Yancun.
It's hard to grasp.
Luo Shuyu wanted to go to the potato workshop, but as soon as he approached, he was also driven away.
The guards were also from Bajiaozhai.
This time, she was completely helpless and had to go back to report in shame.
Mao Dexing was furious. "You idiot, you are useless!"
Luo Shuyu grumbled, "Master, I don't know what Zhao Liya said to coax the people of Bajiao Village. They all listened to her and treated me like an enemy. I couldn't even get close to them. If you don't believe me, ask Aunt Zhang."
