Chapter 318 Daily Life (Part 1)
The villagers of Xiling Village would run to the foot of the mountain to watch from time to time.
They were very disciplined and knew that the mountain had been bought by the Mo family, so they would not go up there rashly.
They just want to see the flowers that bloom in this season.
At the same time, they would gather in groups of three or four and say that the Mo family was worthy of being from a powerful family in the capital, as they spent so much money to buy a mountain just to plant trees.
After all, they didn't recognize these fruit trees and just thought they were special trees that could bloom...
He Zhiran didn't care about what the villagers thought. She and Mo Jiuye had already started preparing for spring plowing.
Of course, now she can only give advice and talk.
Mo Jiuye was always by her side, not allowing her to make any big movements.
The wasteland had been cleared before the freezing ground and now only needed to be plowed for planting.
The family is raising more and more rabbits. Every day, the sisters-in-law are busy making cold rabbits for Tang Mingrui and making doll pendants.
Lan'er and Yu'er quickly integrated into the Mo family's life.
They rush to do housework every day, and in their free time they help Mo Hanyue take care of the pet rabbits.
There was too much work for the women of the Mo family to do, so they divided some of it among the women of the Xie and Fang families. Just like when they made the dolls, they were paid according to their work.
Therefore, they could not help with the work in the fields at all.
My eighth brother has to go to the government office to report every day, and my third brother has not returned yet after taking Liang Hao and others to the western border.
Although Seventh Brother's health has improved significantly, he is still not as strong as his other brothers.
According to He Zhiran, he needs to rest for at least a few more months.
Sixth brother is basically in good health now. He runs around with Mo Jiuye and fifth brother every day and lives the life of a farmer.
The Mo family did not feel uncomfortable with this kind of life.
Although it is hard to feed myself every day, I feel much more fulfilled when I live happily with my family.
The laborers that Meng Huaining helped find in Yuncheng came in handy after planting the fruit trees.
Although they were not as familiar with farming as the country people, none of them were willing to give up the 30-cent daily wage, and in order not to be disliked by their employers, they all worked very hard.
He Zhiran was pregnant, and Mo Jiuye didn't let her work hard, so she could only tell him some methods and let him direct those people to do it.
Spring plowing is in full swing in Mojia.
When the indigenous people of Xiling Village saw that they were planting some crops they had never seen before, some kind-hearted people came to persuade Mo Jiuye.
For example, the newly appointed Li Zheng Zhao.
He pulled Mo Jiuye aside and said earnestly, "Old Nine, even if I am not very good, I have been growing crops for half my life. The land in our northwest is barren and the climate is bad. Not everything we grow will yield a good yield.
I can see that you Mohists are not short of money, but with so much land to cultivate, you should at least have some harvest in the autumn."
Mo Jiuye knew that Zhao Lizheng was doing this for his family's own good.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. My wife and I have carefully checked these seeds, and there is absolutely no problem planting them here.
Moreover, these seeds are high-yielding, and the yield will surely be substantial when the autumn harvest comes."
When they first arrived in Xiling Village, Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran both felt that the Zhou and Zhao family members were nice. Living in the same village, they naturally had no intention of hiding their good grain seeds.
But there is no need for them to rush to recommend something that others do not approve of.
Whether it is good or not should be determined by facts and output.
Seeing that no one was listening to what he said, Zhao Lizheng could only sigh and say, "In that case, just give it a try!"
What else can he say?
It's their own farmland, they can plant whatever they want. He is just giving them a kind reminder, and there's nothing you can do if they don't listen.
After Zhao Lizheng left, Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou came as scheduled.
In order to support their family, the two found a private school in Yuncheng to teach, so they rarely appeared in the village on weekdays.
If it wasn't the spring plowing season and the private school was closed for a few days, they wouldn't have come to find Mo Jiuye at this time.
Based on their understanding of Mo Jiuye on the road, they knew best in their hearts that the Mo family would never do anything without confidence.
Just like the problem that Zhao Lizheng was worried about just now.
In the eyes of Fang Chuanzhou and Xie Tianhai, no matter how rare the things the Mo family grows are, there will be no problems.
Just as they themselves said, they are all high-yield crops and the yield will be very high.
Therefore, the two of them found Mo Jiuye today to ask for some seeds.
Xie Tianhai and the Mo family are relatives, so with such a relationship, it is naturally easier for him to speak up.
"Laojiu, we're thinking of buying some of these high-yield seeds from you. Do you think it's feasible?"
Xie Tianhai also followed the local customs and called Mo Jiuye "Laojiu" like the villagers.
He didn't want to keep any of the villagers, let alone the Xie and Fang families.
"That's no problem. My wife said that the high-yielding seeds right now are corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. What do you plan to plant?"
Anyway, the seeds produced by my wife’s space are not picky about the season, so there is no problem planting them together.
Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou had tasted these three things at Mohism.
In their minds, these are all good things, especially potatoes, which taste great when fried with them.
"If possible, I'd like to buy some of these three seeds from you."
As for the price, Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhuo didn't think much about it.
Now their family has income and is no longer short of money. I heard that these seeds of the Mo family were obtained from foreigners, so the price will naturally not be too low.
It’s okay if the seed price is a little higher. If the yield increases, are you still worried about losing money?
Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran thought the same thing. They could help people who had a good relationship with their family, but they couldn’t help without limits.
For example, seeds like these have basically no cost to them, but they cannot be given away for free.
The price was also agreed upon in advance by him and his wife.
"Uncles, I have extra seeds at home, and the price of corn seeds is 50 wen per catty.
Sweet potatoes and potatoes are the same price, 25 wen per catty."
After hearing the price Mo Jiuye mentioned, Xie Tianhai and Fang Chuanzhou both felt a little embarrassed.
Even if they don't understand business, they know that the things they buy from foreigners are not cheap.
The price people have quoted now is probably a loss in order to take care of them.
"Laojiu, it's already very good that you can sell us seeds. You can't pay us money just to take care of us!"
The price of seeds that Mo Jiuye quoted was indeed not high, but it was still far above the cost price. He explained with a smile, "I bought a lot at the time, so the price was cheap and I didn't lose money. If you two uncles need anything, just come to my house and get it."
