Besides, what you're saying is ridiculous. Even if this thing is found in the wild, you still have to work to dig it up, right? Why would someone give it to you for free?
"Are they just bored or do they think you're so pretty that they want to send these plants to your house for you to grow?"
His words caused everyone around him to burst into laughter!
Ling Ran laughed loudly and clapped enthusiastically.
Fan Jin's lips also curled up.
Fan's face flushed red and then turned pale. After a while, he pointed at Aunt Zhang and said sarcastically, "You just earned some grain and wages by following my brother last year."
Nowadays, no matter if someone's family is good or bad, you can praise them for being good.
Just you wait and see. After you've worked hard for months and haven't gotten anything, you'll be crying!
Aunt Zhang's family had lost all their fertile land to gambling, so their family only had about 20 acres of poor land left. The family of so many people depended on the harvest from this small plot of land for the whole year.
If there's no harvest at all, we'll starve to death!
You'll have nowhere to cry when the time comes.
Aunt Zhang is now determined to follow Shui Qing's family's lead!
Instead of taking Fan Qian's mockery to heart, he declared, "Don't worry, it's better than following behind you!"
I won't take other people's things for free. I'll go ask Shuiqing later if I can exchange them and how. If I get the exchange, I'll plant them.
Whether it's good or bad is my business, it's none of your concern.
Many of the other onlookers were also tempted by this.
Aunt Zhang's family has no land, only a small amount of poor land, but their family has a lot of land. Other crops don't yield good harvests, so they can try this.
Among the crowd, Wang Guifen was the most tempted. She immediately turned around and went home to discuss it with her father-in-law.
If we follow Fan Jin's advice, we can harvest the crops in about four months. Perhaps we can avoid the summer rainy season, and our family of more than ten people, young and old, will have something to eat.
Whether it tastes good or not is not important, nor is whether the harvest is good or not, as long as it can be harvested before summer.
After Wang Guifen left, Fan Qian also left sheepishly.
Seeing that most of those who stayed behind were discussing things with Fan Jin, Aunt Zhang turned around and went to find Shui Qing.
Shuiqing is peeling potatoes at home.
Cut off the sprouts from each potato and coat the cut surfaces with wood ash.
The excess pieces of potatoes were thrown into a basket to be cooked later.
Looking at the nearly half-full basket of potato chunks, she sighed deeply. She would have to eat potatoes every day for the next few days.
Upon hearing Aunt Zhang's purpose, she immediately pointed to the bamboo basket and said excitedly, "Here, take some back with you. You can stir-fry, steam, boil, or roast it. You'll know how it tastes once you try it!"
No matter how delicious potatoes are, you can't eat them every meal.
She didn't want to eat potatoes every day, every meal, until she couldn't stand the sight of them anymore.
Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand, "I'm not here to take it for nothing! Auntie wants to trade with you, how about rice or charcoal?"
"Helping out is fine too. If you're short-handed, Xiaocao, Tieniu, Muniu, and I are all idle right now."
