Chapter 42: Crazy, every bite hurts
Xu Zhichun only had about 370 to 380 kilograms of sweet potatoes in total, so it would be no problem for him to take another 100 or so kilograms.
But this is a good thing, and she really wants more people to grow it, so for those who come later, she is only willing to sell three kilograms to each family, no more.
There are more than seventy households in Liangjia Village.
The village head and Aunt Zhu'er sold almost forty kilograms of rice.
She also has to farm the more than ten acres of her own land.
Everyone who comes to buy now has the idea of "I don't believe it, I want to try it myself, it's not expensive anyway", so it doesn't matter if it's three or two kilograms.
Unexpectedly, when I steamed it at home and ate it, I went crazy!
Is this sweet potato? It's the hope for the future!
Every bite hurts, doesn’t it?
Those who had only steamed two or three were slightly better off. Their hearts were trembling, their hands were shaking, and they were so scared that they rolled and crawled around and quickly put away the unsteamed sweet potatoes.
Good heavens! Thank goodness, thank goodness, sob.
My eyes are filled with tears, not because I am moved, but because I am scared.
Farmers know the importance of seeds better than anyone else.
During famine years, people would rather let someone in their family starve to death than touch the seeds.
Because if the seeds are moved, the whole family will die.
Some people want to save time, and since three pounds of sweet potatoes don't seem like a lot, they just put them all into the pot.
When I took my first bite after it was steamed, I was quite happy, surprised and delighted: "Hey, you know what, it seems they weren't lying, this sweet potato is really sweet." "It's true, it's really delicious."
Then
They looked at each other and their faces changed drastically!
He howled with a cry of "Ah——".
It's so sad!
"How much is left?"
"No, no, it's all gone. It's all been steamed in the pot."
"You spendthrift woman! All you do is eat! Why did you steam everything?! Why don't you steam yourself?"
The man roared in frustration, and the woman was so heartbroken that the steamed sweet potato in her hand no longer tasted good. She was so distressed that her heart was trembling and tears were streaming down her face. She held the sweet potato and cried, "How should I know? Didn't you just say it was delicious?"
Is this a question of whether it tastes good or not?
If it doesn't taste good, you won't regret it.
The more delicious it is, the more painful it is!
"Dad, what should we do?"
"Who should I ask if you ask me? You've never been this diligent before. How come you've steamed it all so quickly? You could at least leave half!"
The woman cried even harder.
What should I do? This steamed sweet potato is so sweet and delicious, but I can’t eat a single bite.
"Zhichun! That's right, Zhichun!" The woman suddenly came to her senses, staring at the man with sharp eyes and said hurriedly, "Let's go and beg Zhichun to sell us some more!"
"Yes, let's go, hurry up!"
Little did they know that a similar scene was happening in many homes in the village.
You should know that Xu Zhichun went to the city with Zeng Xiaoyan, Aunt Zhuer and others to sell konjac tofu in the morning and was not at home.
After the news of how sweet and delicious the sweet potatoes were spread among those families, everyone came to their house to buy a few pounds to try them.
Most people who are curious about new things and intend to try them will start steaming them immediately after buying them.
I regretted it so much after eating it!
No matter if there was any left or not a drop left, they were all heartbroken. They blamed each other and argued bitterly, but when they calmed down a little, they all thought about buying some more.
So, everyone rushed to Xu Zhichun's house.
When we meet on the road, just by looking at each other, we can understand that the other person’s purpose is the same as ours.
So they both sped up, wanting to get ahead of the other.
Xu Zhichun was dumbfounded!
Zeng Xiaoyan and her husband, and Aunt Zhu'er were also dumbfounded.
They were planning to take a break and then go dig konjac, but these people came one after another - why did they all come? It seemed like there were more and more people?
"Zhichun! Zhichun! Please sell me a few more pounds of sweet potatoes!"
"I want that too! I want that sweet potato too. Zhichun, sell it to me too!"
"And me, and me."
"Zhichun, can you sell me a few more pounds? I'll pay two cents per pound."
"I'll pay two cents a pound too, and I want a few more pounds."
"Zhichun, we are all from the same village. Since we are here, you can't let us go back empty-handed, right? Besides, we are not asking for it for free. We paid for it."
"Yes, yes, me too!"
“Zhichun, Zhichun!”
"Zhichun!"
“.”
Xu Zhichun's head was about to explode.
Zeng Xiaoyan and her husband, and Aunt Zhuer were stunned and began to doubt their lives.
God have mercy on them, please tell them what happened?
They all looked at Xu Zhichun at the same time, and Xu Zhichun also looked confused.
She didn't understand why they were suddenly so excited.
However, what needs to be said must be said.
"Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law, all of you please be quiet and listen to me. If I remember correctly, you've all bought these sweet potatoes, right? Three pounds is enough for seeds, really. Just plant them and water them normally. When the vines grow, you can pick them off and plant them elsewhere. The more you pinch the sweet potato vines, the more they'll grow. So there's really no need to buy more."
"No, no, no, I want to buy it!"
“I want to buy one too!”
Xu Zhichun was embarrassed: "But I don't have much left. I told you all when I started selling it. Each family can only sell three pounds. If no one buys, there will be extra. If someone asks, there will be more. Now I really don't have any."
How can this be possible?
Everyone was talking at once, their emotions agitated. Some were secretly complaining, feeling that Xu Zhichun was truly unkind. They'd already come, had offered her a higher price, so why was she so stubborn? She was refusing to sell, insisting on leaving it to "someone else." If someone else hadn't come to buy it by today, then they definitely weren't coming. What was there to wait for?
Besides, isn't this kind of thing first come first served?
She is a seller, so it doesn't matter who she sells to. They don't ask for money for nothing.
Some people were so impatient that they couldn't help but get angry and their words sounded a bit harsh.
Xu Zhichun's expression changed involuntarily.
So no one listened to her patiently explaining for a long time, right?
Xu Zhichun's face darkened. "I said I won't sell it, so I won't sell it. Uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters-in-law, please go back first."
"Why are you like this?"
"What are you doing, auntie?"
"Sister-in-law Wu Liu, if you want to talk, just talk. How can you think of taking action?"
Zeng Xiaoyan and Aunt Zhu'er were shocked when they saw that Sister Wu Liu was trying to pull Xu Zhichun away, and they hurried to protect Xu Zhichun.
Zeng Xiaoyan glared at Wu Liusao with even more annoyance: What a wicked woman!
Liang Mingliang was also startled and quickly took two steps forward, his eyes wide open and alert.
Xu Zhichun's face suddenly darkened. "What on earth does this mean? I don't understand! I don't know how I offended you all to become like this."
Everyone was embarrassed
Mrs. Wu Liu's face flushed. "I, I didn't mean to do that! Oh, well, let me be frank. We've steamed all the three pounds of sweet potatoes we bought."
