1994: Vegetable farmers strike back

Chapter 36: Transfer
"Make a price!"

Everyone was dumbfounded. No one thought that Liu Minghua would think of transferring the land.

Old Liu Qirong reminded him, "Minghua, the vegetables in your small shed will be ready for harvest soon."

Liu Minghua looked at him and said, "Uncle Liu, would you be willing to lend me 30 yuan?"

Old Zhou remained silent. With the previous experience of Chen Jiazhi and the other man being blocked at the door, Liu Minghua and the other man did not have a high reputation.

And when he heard that Liu Minghua wanted to change the land, he also became interested. The vegetables in the small shed were indeed good, but he wanted to listen to the scholar's offer first.

"Name your price. I won't bargain."

Chen Jiazhi still had a beer in his hand, and suddenly his opinion of Liu Minghua changed.

This is probably one of the best ways to deal with it right now, and it involves finding the right person.

In the case of the vegetables in Liu Minghua's field, many people are actually willing to take over, but few can offer a reasonable price, and most people will just rip them off.

But Chen Jiazhi just doesn't know how to do it.

First, Liu Minghua was familiar with him, and second, the two of them had a past relationship of "borrowing money" after all.

Chen Jiazhi has indeed been thinking about increasing the land area.

Liu Minghua owns about four acres of land.

It's enough for him to transition for a while.

"I really want to take over the land, but I won't kick you when you're down. I'll give you 30 yuan first. You can harvest this crop of vegetables and then transfer it to me. I guess you guys won't be able to stay in the vegetable market anymore."

"No need, I'll transfer it to you directly. You name the price, I'll accept any amount."

Liu Minghua made this decision without even looking at Jia Suzhen. It was obvious that every day he stayed here would make him uncomfortable.

Chen Jiazhi admitted: "I don't have that much money now.

I'll assume I'll give you four acres of land. If you pay one year's rent, it's 280 yuan per acre, which is 1120 yuan in total. I'll take advantage of the situation and only give you half a year's rent, which is 560 yuan.

There are also vegetables in the fields. The water spinach in the small shed can be sold for several hundred yuan. Add other things and it may be worth 1500 to 2000 yuan if you are lucky, but I can only give you 1000 yuan.

In addition, the bicycle, sprayer, etc. will be charged to you for 140 yuan.

The total is exactly 1700 yuan."

After doing the math, Chen Jiazhi reiterated: "But I don't have that much now."

“How much can you give now?”

"400 dollars."

"Then give me 400 first."

Chen Jiazhi turned his head and looked at Li Xiu: "Wife, take the money."

Without thinking, Li Xiu went back to the house, took out the money and gave it to Chen Jiazhi, who then handed it to Liu Minghua.

"The land and the vegetables are all yours. Give me the rest of the money when you sign the contract. Oh, and I'll need the bicycle for a while. I'll give it to you in a few days..."

"Wait, Minghua, are you really going to transfer this land to Chen Jiazhi?" Liu Qirong finally jumped out.

Liu Minghua glanced at him and said, "Uncle Liu, if you can pay 1700 yuan now, I can transfer the land to you."

Liu Qirong: "Chen Jiazhi only gave 400 yuan at first."

Liu Minghua laughed and said, "I believe him, but I don't believe you. Besides, you can't come up with 400 yuan right now."

Liu Minghua packed his luggage and left with Jia Suzhen. There was a hotel in the village where the two would stay overnight.

At least tonight, Liu Minghua gave people a very different feeling.

He was the one making the decisions from beginning to end.

As for what happens in the future, Chen Jiazhi has no control over it. He only knows that he has four more acres of land.

"Brother, if this happens, you'll have even more food in a few days. How are you going to transport it?"

"Now you have even less money to buy a car, right?"

"Suddenly there are four acres of land. Can you handle it?"

"You even said I wasn't good to your second sister. You spent money like water and took over the land without even discussing it with Li Xiu. How can you say you're being good to Li Xiu?"

At the dinner table, Yi Dinggan drank beer with clams and stir-fried dishes, and then started to scold Chen Jiazhi.

"We've discussed it." Li Xiu suddenly said, "I already knew Jiazhi wanted to lease more land, and I agreed."

Chen Jiazhi looked at the dumbfounded Yi Dinggan with pride.

"Li Xiu, just spoil him!"

Chen Jiafang standing by was also filled with worry.

"Four mu of land is no joke. It's more than half the land we have now. Li Xiu is about to give birth. Jiazhi, you can't handle it all by yourself.

Things were about to get better, but you did this again. Can't you just live a peaceful life?"

At that time, the degree of mechanization was too low, and processes such as digging and watering all relied on the most basic tools and manpower.

The efficiency is very low. Although Chen Jiazhi has performed well in all aspects in the past month.

But after all, there is only one person, and a pregnant woman, so it is already very good that she can cultivate the two or three acres of land now.

However, four acres of land were suddenly added, spending 1700 yuan.

Their concerns are not without reason.

I asked Brother Yi to help me find a place before, but there was no progress. Maybe they were blocking it on purpose.

The same may be true for Li Mingkun.

Chen Jiazhi understood their thoughts and said with a smile, "Second sister, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. If I can't do it alone, I can hire someone else. Otherwise, you can just give Ao Dehai and Zhao Yu to me. I have easy access to them."

Chen Jiafang: "This is a small matter. The key is to get the land. It's still possible to regret it now. The 400 yuan can be considered as a loan to Liu Minghua for a few days. They can pay it back after selling vegetables."

"Second sister, I know what's going on. It's impossible to give up the land, and Liu Minghua won't stay here anymore."

Not only Yi Dinggan and the other two were worried about this, but the other people in his group also didn't quite understand it.

In the early morning, Chen Jiazhi went to the market again with a car full of vegetables. Being able to produce vegetables stably every day is the greatest confidence of vegetable farmers.

However, Chen Jiazhi now had a new burden on his shoulders.

After arriving at the market, Guo Mancang came over and gave Chen Jiazhi some cigarettes.

"Jiazhi, it's better to plant vegetables carefully rather than too much. Planting more land doesn't necessarily mean you'll make money."

Chen Jiazhi laughed and said, "Old Guo, why do I feel like you're talking about my Brother Yi in a roundabout way?"

Yi Dinggan: “…”

Guo Mancang also gave Yi Dinggan a cigarette. "Your brother-in-law is indeed a lesson. If you plant too much land, you will not be able to manage it. Each crop of vegetables will tend to be less than satisfactory. If you plant less, with his skills, maybe he can produce more delicious dishes."

Li Mingkun: "That's right, Jiazhi, you were doing well in your crops, why are you meddling in Liu Minghua's business?

Now you have four more acres of land. Not only can you not handle it all, but even if you can, how to sell the vegetables will be a big problem.

If it were up to me, you should ask Liu Minghua to return the land."

It is impossible to retreat.

As determined as it is impossible to go to work.

Looking at Li Mingkun with an honest look on his face, Chen Jiazhi decided to use a big move.

"In my previous life, I heard that Jia Suzhen came to you at the beginning?"

"Who did you listen to?"

"Yes, Brother Yi, he saw Jia Suzhen follow you into the warehouse, but she came out within three minutes."

Everyone was shocked.

There is such explosive news!

Qi Yongfeng: "Then why is she still looking for me? Damn, Brother Kun, did you take advantage of Jia Suzhen for free?"

Li Mingkun glared and said, "Nonsense, I just touched it and then ran out in a panic."

Yi Ding said dryly, "Three minutes. You've touched everything you need to touch, right? It seems I'm the one who's suffered the most. Alas, I have the strongest will."

"Fuck, she also looked for Brother Yi?!" Qi Yongfeng was stunned, then looked at Chen Jiazhi.

Yi Dinggan: "Don't look at him. Who do you think locked him in the room? Who else but Jia Suzhen? He brags about being a handsome guy every day, but Jia Suzhen doesn't even care about him."

Yi Dinggan, Li Mingkun, Qi Yongfeng... everyone who had any connection with Jia Suzhen was exposed.

Chen Jiazhi didn't expect the boomerang to fall on his head again.

It can be regarded as proving one's innocence~
"Handsome boy, serve the food."

Fortunately, the customers in the vegetable market recognize him, and Ms. Zhang, who is running a retail business, has become his old customer.

"Wow, there are so many vegetables today, loofah, choy sum, bitter melon, cowpea, green beans, they all look good, handsome boy has good vegetable growing skills."

Chen Jiazhi smiled and said, "Sister Zhang, give me some. You're a regular customer, so you should know that my dishes always sell well."

“Can we have a discount for old customers?”

"No."

"Boring, you are a good vegetable farmer in every way except being too stingy. Okay, let's just decorate it the same way today."

In the end, Sister Zhang took away goods worth 52 yuan. The quantity was not large, but the advantage was that it was stable.

Chen Jiazhi still prefers big clients.

The monk introduced by Curly Cabbage came to the stall again and watched Chen Jiazhi fill 80 kilograms of cabbage hearts for him from beginning to end.

"Boss, don't worry, these are all good dishes. They won't be adulterated. The total is 132.8 yuan."

The monk fished out some money from his pocket, counted out 133 yuan, and gave it to Chen Jiazhi before saying, "This is for the hotel!"

"I know you small vegetable farmers best. Not only are your vegetable outputs unstable, but you often pass off inferior goods as good ones just to save a little money. If I had no choice, I wouldn't buy your goods."
