Chapter 335 You ask me, who should I ask?
Kong Daming thought of his younger brother and smiled, "I have to buy a few bags of concentrated feed. My younger brother has now changed from a pig butcher to a pig farmer."

Taohua Village had said before that these pigs were different from those outside, and that the selling price after they were slaughtered was not low. However, people in the upper and lower villages were not aware of this at the time.

But after raising them, you will understand that it is indeed different. Thinking that a pound of meat can be sold for a hundred or eighty cents, many people can't wait to cut grass for pigs in the mountains every day.

Bai Dazhi smiled and said, "I do have a few sheep at home, and they are growing pretty well. If you have the energy, you can give it a try next year."

After talking about chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and cows for a while, Bai Dazhi remembered.

"By the way, there are some vegetable seeds on sale at the grocery store at the entrance of our village. You can tell the people in the village, and those who are interested in growing some vegetables can go and buy them on their own."

Zhou Yang: "Okay."

Kong Daming: "Master Bai, I will tell the villagers when I get back."

Although Bai Dazhi didn't say much, Zhou Yang and the others understood that the vegetable seeds sold in the grocery store must be good stuff.

Purchasing grain seeds was an urgent matter, and the quantity was reported the next day.

Zhou Yang and Kong Daming also brought people to transport the rice that should be paid to Taohua Village to the grocery store in Taohua Village, and bought some grain seeds to take back.

In Taohua Village, Bai Duojin was in charge of leading the people to count the things. After quickly calculating the items into the warehouse, Bai Duojin took out two bags with a smile.

After signaling Zhou Yang and Kong Daming to take a bag each, Bai Duojin said, "Our aunt's mouthful of spit is as sharp as a nail."

"Our aunt has said before that as long as you cooperate well and don't mess around, you will be rewarded if the yield per mu is more than 600 kilograms."

The people from the upper and lower villages immediately remembered that this was true. If the yield per mu was more than 600 kilograms, there would be a reward of one or two taels of silver.

When the rice was just harvested, many people thought of this matter, but no one dared or was embarrassed to mention it.

The grain seeds were given for free by Taohua Village. They can grow such high-yield crops with free things. If they still ask for money from Mr. Bai, are they still human?

However, the people in the two villages did not expect this. They did not mention it, but Taohua Village had no intention of forgetting it.

"The money is all here, go back and distribute it."

"Ah, this..." Zhou Yang was stunned.

Kong Daming also looked embarrassed. If he took the money, wouldn't it seem that the people in their village were ungrateful?

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "We don't want this money."

"Yes, Master Bai and Taohua Village have been so kind to us, how could we possibly ask for this money?"

"That's right, that's right, Village Chief, our village doesn't want it anymore."

"Really? Folks, how can you ask for this kind of money?"

"My family won't want it anyway."

Zhou Yang and Kong Daming looked at each other and quickly expressed their opinions in line with the villagers' words.

Bai Duojin waved his hand: "No, let's keep things separate."

"Since our aunt has said so, this reward will definitely count."

"Ah, this..."

Bai Duojin: "Take it back quickly, don't let our aunt become a person who doesn't keep her word."

Having said that, the people from the upper and lower villages had no choice but to accept it. Before they left, they turned to face the direction of Taohua Village and bowed: "Thank you, young master."

Seeing this, Bai Duojin and others smiled with satisfaction. Not bad, these people are still grateful. The villagers thought that each household would be rewarded with one tael of silver, but they didn't expect that it would be rewarded with one tael of silver per mu of land.

Everyone was dumbfounded. You know, some of them had smaller fields, at least more than ten acres, while some, like Kong Daming, had more than forty acres.

Zhou Yang looked at the forty-eight taels of silver on the table and couldn't help but remain silent.

Zhou Qing sighed: "Brother, sometimes I am really curious, what kind of family can train such a young master?"

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously whispered: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Even though Zhou Yang could go to Taohua Village often, he couldn't see Bai Tao, let alone know more.

Zhou Qing was just sighing. He naturally knew that having an army as powerful as the Baiyu Army was beyond the understanding of ordinary people like them.

Da Zhou: "According to this calculation, the late rice seeds are equivalent to Taohua Village half selling and half giving away to everyone."

Zhou Yang: “That’s right!”

It wasn't just Da Zhou who thought of this; many other people had also thought of it.

"We have no ties to Taohua Village, and the young master treats us so well... From now on, if anyone dares to say anything bad about the young master, I won't tolerate it!"

Food is the primary need of the people. Not to mention anything else, just the fact that Taohua Village can produce high-yield grain seeds will make the upper and lower villages stand on Taohua Village's side unconditionally.

With potatoes as an example, although the yield of sweet potatoes was also high when they were harvested, people were no longer as surprised as they were at the beginning. After all, they had seen the world.

Even so, when everyone was digging sweet potatoes, when they saw a big sweet potato weighing four or five pounds, they couldn't help but hold it up and happily shouted to the people around them: "Look, big sweet potatoes!"

It weighs four or five kilograms. It’s so big that it’s worth stopping to enjoy it.

People say spring rain is as precious as oil, but summer rain is also good.

In the drizzle, people wearing straw hats and thin raincoats were planting rice seedlings in the fields.

"Luckily I have this raincoat. If I had brought a raincoat, it would have become heavy in no time after the rain, and I would have been slower at work."

"That's right. Wearing a raincoat doesn't block your view."

"Thanks to our vassalage of Taohua Village, we are able to enjoy such benefits." Now people from both villages are feeling lucky for their original persistence.

You know, these raincoats are sold at one or two taels of silver each in the shops in the town, but they only buy them for seven hundred coins each from the grocery store in Taohua Village, saving a full three hundred coins.

Bai Tao made fifty coins by selling a raincoat with tears in her eyes.

Of course, ordinary people are reluctant to buy raincoats, and only the people in the upper and lower villages are not short of money now.

Every household in the upper and lower villages raise chickens and ducks, and some villagers even raise a few geese.

As the chickens and ducks grew up, and it was the busy farming season, every household in the village either slaughtered chickens or ducks.

Yang Xianglian's family also killed a chicken today.

The chicken and small mushrooms are stewed, and some chestnut kernels are added to the chicken soup. The aroma is so good before it even comes out of the pot that everyone in the family, young and old, can’t help drooling.

"Mom, we have quite a few at home. We can kill them whenever we want to eat them. Things are different now, so we don't have to be too frugal."

Yang Xianglian felt a little guilty. These days, she had been busy with work in the shop and had little time to take care of household matters. Fortunately, her parents-in-law understood.

"That's not necessary." Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said, "Every now and then, we cut two pounds of meat and bring it back for cooking. I just thought the chicken soup was especially delicious today."

"Besides, the chickens and ducks at home are raised to sell, so we can't just eat them whenever we want." Life is much better now than before.
