"What? Buying land too?" Zhao Tingzhang was so shocked his jaw almost dropped.
“Yes, but this time it’s my older sister who wants to buy it. She wants to buy ten acres of dry land. If the head of the pavilion isn’t busy, let’s go to the back mountain and take a look.” He Tiantian gave a brief introduction to Hong Erniang.
The wasteland in the village had previously been sold to villagers. Since this Hong Erniang was not from the village, Chief Zhao was still somewhat wary.
He asked, still uneasy, "Wanzi's mother, is this person from the city?"
Because of this person's attire, it was clear that he was from the city.
He Tiantian nodded. "I've known my second aunt for over two years, and we're practically sisters now. Headmaster, do you think the land price this time could be the same as what I got before?"
Zhao Tingzhang led the way, and selling land was the most profitable business for the villagers.
If the villagers have money, then all the villagers can benefit. So he doesn't mind if more people come to buy land.
"This is Hong Erniang, right? What are you doing buying so much land this time, you're just a woman?" This was something Zhao Tingzhang couldn't understand.
Could it be that after this year's severe drought, the news of Changfeng Village's outstanding people and abundant resources has become known to the outside world?
Hong Erniang is also a straightforward person and has no intention of hiding anything.
"Chief, to tell you the truth, I used to run a clothing shop in the city. But last year I went up north to learn cotton growing techniques and I'm planning to buy land to grow cotton."
"Cotton?" Zhao Tingzhang had never heard of it before.
"Yes, this is something grown by farmers in the far north. If this stuff were made into clothes and bedding, it would be much warmer than willow catkins!"
It sounded like a good idea. Zhao Tingzhang thought that if the cotton could be successfully planted, he would encourage the villagers to plant it as well.
In winter, they practically freeze to death in these mountains.
Zhao Tingzhang led He Tiantian and Hong Erniang toward the back mountain, and they arrived right in front of He Tiantian's ten mu of wheat seedlings.
It was winter, and all the vegetation on the mountain was bare.
Only He Tiantian's wheat field was a vibrant, lush green, making it a beautiful sight in Changfeng Village.
Only four or five families in the village were willing to grow wheat, and those who had refused to grow it even at the cost of their lives were now regretting it.
Especially those who were recruited by Zhao Tingzhang to build houses, the wheat seedling field was not far from them.
Seeing the thriving wheat seedlings every day made them itch with longing.
Wow, it seems like there's a pretty good chance this wheat will grow well.
I've never seen this before, so why do I like it so much now?
If the wheat on these ten acres yields a good harvest, our family will have more food than we can eat!
Their land was all barren, while other people's land was planted with crops. They regretted it, truly regretted not listening to Chief Zhao's advice.
Having been to the North, Hong Erniang was naturally familiar with wheat seedlings.
She happily squatted down at the edge of the field and couldn't help but touch the wheat seedlings that were a hand's length long.
"That's it, that's it. Exactly the same as what I saw in the north."
