Chapter 306: Coaxing and Threatening

Chapter 306: Coaxing and Threatening
There was still some distance to go from the village entrance when Bai Tao accidentally saw Bai Tiechui not far away, so she called him over and said, "Please send Sister Tao off for me."

"Yes, great aunt."

Bai Tao waved to Tao Jiaren and said, "Sister Tao, please drive slowly."

"it is good."

At this time, light snow was swirling down, which suddenly made the atmosphere of parting seem a little bleak.

Bai Tao looked up, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to Bai Dashan with great surprise and said, "It's snowing."

“Snowy days go best with milk tea hotpot!”

Bai Dashan understood: "Auntie, I will tell Duoxi in a moment and ask him to prepare the pot for you later."

"Yeah." Bai Tao was satisfied and subconsciously looked at Tao Jiaren.

Before she said anything, Tao Jiaren understood and said with a smile: "Go back quickly, I have to hurry on my way. I can't eat hot pot with you today."

"Well, that's a pity." The next second, Bai Tao smiled again and said, "But it doesn't matter. When Sister Tao is free, we can go together."

Looking at Bai Tao's extremely happy little figure jumping away, Tao Jiaren smiled: "That's great."

On the side, Bai Tiechui said without thinking: "Our aunt has always been very good."

Their aunt is the most powerful and best aunt.

Tao Jiaren just glanced at Bai Tiechui and said, "Let's go."

She felt that even if she didn't say it, with Taohua Village's habit of protecting Bai Tao as if she were their own eyes, they would definitely let Bai Tao be as carefree as possible.

Come to think of it, Bai Tao is not very old, why is she so keen on making money?
But her money-loving look is indeed adorable.

On the way Bai Tiechui was seeing Tao Jiaren off, he saw that she had a smile on her face and he didn't know what she was thinking about. He wanted to open his mouth to ask several times, but swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

dinner.

Bai Tao not only got to eat hotpot, but also fulfilled her wish of eating lamb.

She caught a glimpse of the big guy who was eating heartily. She saw that he was wearing a bright red jacket with big flowers. Her forehead twitched. She had clearly given him other cotton-padded clothes and trousers, but he was still given a thick cotton military coat.

He also... Bai Tao looked away speechlessly. Forget it, if he wants to wear it like this, then let him wear it like this.

The light snow in the afternoon grew heavier and heavier, and by the evening it was already ankle-deep.

When Bai Dashan saw it, he remembered the scientific knowledge he had read in the video, and quickly ordered people to go to the upper and lower villages to notify them.

"Tell them that if they don't listen, I won't sell anything to them anymore." Sometimes, no matter how much you say, it's not as effective as a threat.

Bai Dashan learned this principle from Bai Tao.

At this time, some people from the upper and lower villages were still excited about seeing snow for the first time.

Some people are also worried: "It's snowing now. How can we grow crops in such cold weather?"

Someone immediately explained: "The fields will thaw in spring. Besides, the snow is not that heavy, so it's okay."

"Luckily the boss gave us some things, otherwise..." I made a thick cotton coat out of cotton, put it on, sat by the stove, ate roasted sweet potatoes, and felt warm all over.

Nowadays, every household has prepared New Year’s goods in their kitchen, including pork, chicken, fish and some beef.

Although the vegetables are only cabbage, winter melon, pumpkin and potato, they are extremely rich for people.

In previous years, even if they did not leave their hometowns, they did not have these things at home.

During the Chinese New Year, they could cut some meat and stir-fry it for a bowl of soup, and each person in the family could eat two pieces, which was considered good. As for vegetables, they could save some wild vegetables to eat dry. Before this, they didn't even dare to dream of such a life.

So, even though it was snowing outside, the corners of people's mouths were always raised.

As long as one has enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear, has food at home and money in hand, one will not panic.

Since they had nothing to do, some women would gather in groups of three or four with their sewing baskets, warming themselves by the fire while doing needlework and chatting about family matters.

"Did you hear that we're going to plant some potatoes in the spring?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Xianglian also spoke up: "I heard about it too."

As the wife of the head of the upper village, Da Zhou was naturally well-informed. She nodded and said, "Yes."

"My wife said that the young master in Taohua Village wanted us to plant more potatoes and sweet potatoes in the first year."

"That's great! When I first ate potatoes, I thought it would be great if we could grow these delicious potatoes ourselves."

Yang Xianglian: "Sisters-in-law, I heard that the potato yield is high."

Da Zhou nodded: "Yes, it is said that if you grow these two things, it will be difficult to go hungry."

"I don't care whether others plant it or not, but my family will definitely plant it." The person who spoke looked expectant.

There are many people in her family. If they are taken good care of, they can have an extra 20 or 30 kilograms and will not starve to death.

During the escape, I know all too well what it feels like to be hungry.

Others said yes.

In fact, the people in the upper and lower villages admire Taohua Village and the white peaches very much. People tend to follow the crowd, so as long as most people in a village are willing, the others will not refuse.

Bai Tao only told the people in Taohua Village about the crop yield, and the people in Taohua Village did not tell anyone else, so the exact number was unknown to the outside world.

In ancient times when a yield of 200 kilograms per mu was considered a very good harvest, if you said there were crops that could produce 1,800 kilograms per mu, people would not believe you and would think you were misleading the public.

The people of Taohua Village naturally believed Bai Tao's words, but they also knew that the outside world would not tolerate such a capable young lady, so they needed to protect the old lady.

Anyway, as long as I have them, it doesn’t matter whether people outside believe it or not.

When the people from Taohua Village came to notify them, Zhou Yang and Kong Daming took it very seriously. They nodded yes repeatedly and immediately started notifying every household.

Fearing that some people would not take it seriously, in order to make the villagers pay attention, the two simply said with a mixture of coaxing and threatening: "The young master is also worried about everyone, so he sent someone to notify you in the wind and snow."

"Everyone should understand the little master's painstaking efforts."

After hearing this, people were moved and said they would listen.

Taohua Village sent people over even on a snowy day. Even Taohua Village took it seriously. Anyone with a brain would know that they can't take it lightly.

The next morning.

The door opened and it was white outside.

With the notification sent by Bai Dashan yesterday, Zhou Yang and Kong Daming were also responsible for various warnings.

People in the upper and lower villages who had never seen snow took it very seriously. They dressed warmly, lit the stove in the house to keep warm, and made sure the doors and windows were not closed tightly.

Of course, everyone lived in wooden houses. Although the outer walls were coated with clay and hay to keep them warm, they were not completely tight.

In addition, some windows were opened for ventilation, so there was no freezing to death, frostbite or coal poisoning.

I'm just asking for votes and comments...
