Yue Jiuyue herself had no idea how many people her decision had saved.
But she knew that this year was a great opportunity to make money.
It's not that sweet potatoes can't be sold, it's that they can't just be sold to others like that. So she set her sights on selling roasted sweet potatoes, determined to make a good profit for her family this winter.
As for next year, can't we still sell sweet potato seedlings?
If they can't sell them here, she can have Lin Chaodong and the others sell them in the next town, the next county, or the next prefecture. Anyway, with this year's roasted sweet potato business as a start, there's no worry about selling sweet potato seedlings next year.
The best year for sweet potato seedlings is the first year, which is next year, and Yue Jiuyue naturally doesn't want to miss out on it.
Whether the villagers or people from other villages will sell them or not is not of much concern to Yue Jiuyue. In any case, she has harvested the most sweet potatoes this year, and she can also do some manual labor. She is very confident that she will become a little rich woman next year, and she can even consider the title of "landlady".
She set her sights on the hill behind her house.
Yue Jiuyue had already discussed the matter of selling roasted sweet potatoes and sweet potato seedlings with her family in advance, just in case someone wanted to buy them. If the family hadn't discussed it beforehand, and Lin Chaodong or Lin Chaonan had promised to sell them to someone else, would Yue Jiuyue still sell them?
We can't let our "own son" become a hypocrite who breaks his word just for money, can we?
Therefore, the county magistrate's first attempt at an incognito visit was extremely unfavorable.
He was surprised by Lin Chaodong's unwavering yet somewhat fierce gaze.
As a county magistrate, since arriving in this godforsaken, impoverished mountain village, he had never seen anyone so righteously refuse his request, as if he were trying to rob them. Didn't he say he was doing business? Did they think he would forcibly take his money?
Yue Jiuyue and the others didn't understand, nor did they want to understand, the magistrate's frustration. Listening to the magistrate's earnest explanation of his original intention, Yue Jiuyue looked at this "landlord" with new respect.
This person has a good eye for ideas; he wants every household to grow sweet potatoes, just like him!
Unfortunately, although she acknowledged his good judgment, Yue Jiuyue was still reluctant to agree.
She had her eye on the mountain behind her house, and why should she give away the money she could earn herself?
"I am wholeheartedly committed to doing something practical for ordinary people. I have heard that every part of the sweet potato is valuable. The leaves and stems are edible, and the sweet potato itself is sweet, fragrant, and filling. If we have sweet potatoes, we will not have to worry about going hungry in the future, no matter what disasters occur."
The magistrate was speaking from the heart. This year has already turned out like this. Those wealthy households in the county who saw the situation was not good have already moved to other cities with their families. If the villagers also flee to other cities because of the drought, then not only will he, the magistrate of Caolu County, become a commander without troops, but he will also waste his whole life in this position. It would be a small matter if he were impeached and lost his official hat, which would be a complete waste of all his previous efforts.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Yue Jiuyue's question also brought Lin Chaodong and the others back to their senses.
Yes, who is this person? Suddenly they ran up to them and started rambling on and on about all sorts of random things, like they had some serious illness.
Yue Jiuyue became suspicious.
The other person was clearly not an ordinary person. Yue Jiuyue, like the aunties and grandmas in the village, suspected that the man in front of her might be a landlord. But he kept saying that he was for the people. What kind of landlord is like this?
