Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

The village chief didn't make any special introduction, he just sat down naturally and chatted with them.

Jiang Tianhong recognized the village chief, and seeing that he was restrained, he did not reveal his identity or say anything.

We were just chatting about nothing.

Over there, the children were eating delicious and sticky chestnuts, and over here the adults were chatting harmoniously.

Jiang Tianhong only said that he was there to play with his son.

Whether the village chief believes it or not is not up to him.

Anyway, it’s enough not to disturb the people.

As for the tea he drank and the chestnuts Jiang Zixuan ate, he only needed to leave some silver when he left, so as not to take advantage of the farmers.

As they chatted, Jiang Tianhong calmly changed the topic to Ban Li.

"You're talking about this!"

The village chief also tasted a chestnut, which was very fragrant.

"This is called chestnut, a wild fruit picked from the mountains. Last year, every household in our village picked a lot of it, and paired it with dried wild vegetables, which helped us get through the days of food shortage!"

The village chief introduced it proudly.

This is a rare fruit that can be used as food and can be preserved for a long time.

As to whether it was picked up from the ground or from the squirrel's treasure trove, there is no need to be too specific.

After listening to this, Jiang Tianhong nodded in agreement.

It is a blessing for Zhongyong Village and the district under his jurisdiction to have a village chief who can actively organize villagers to find food substitutes and survive the famine years.

"This sugar-roasted chestnut is what you came up with last year?"

"Not this one!"

The village chief shook his head honestly.

He knew about the sugar-fried chestnuts. According to his wife, Meng Huaishao fried them specially for Ye Yaoyao as a snack, and he put a lot of sugar in them!

"Sugar is too precious. How can we just stir-fry wild fruits and eat them? These are all made by Xiao Meng for the baby to eat for fun."

"Xiao Meng?"

Jiang Tianhong was a little surprised. He remembered that according to the household registration book, there was only one family with the surname Meng in Zhongyong Village.

And now, there is only one child left.

Could it be that he really was the one who came up with the idea of ​​roasted chestnuts in sugar?

Hearing someone calling him, Meng Huaishao looked up and smiled politely.

Jiang Tianhong stroked the still warm chestnuts in his hand, and asked the village chief after a while.

"These sugar-roasted chestnuts taste great. Do you want to take them to the town to sell?"

“Can you sell this, too?”

The village chief was surprised.

It's no wonder he didn't think of it. There are really a lot of chestnuts on the mountain. You can just pick them up. It doesn't require any money at all.

But that sugar is really a bit expensive.

It's fine to fry some for the kids to eat, but if you sell it...

I don’t know if I can get my money back.

"If you can maintain this taste, you can basically sell it."

Jiang Tianhong smiled and nodded with certainty.

He was not a pedantic county magistrate, but a fatherly official who truly cared about the people.

Although he would not go so far as to encourage farmers to do business, he would still support it if they could sell some mountain products to supplement their family income.

After hearing this, the village chief couldn't help but feel moved.

But sugar is a bit expensive after all, so he couldn't guarantee it.

But in front of Jiang Tianhong, he didn't dare to say no directly, so he chose a more moderate statement.

"I'll talk to the villagers later. If there are people who are willing to give it a try, I can let them set up a stall and give it a try."

"Good!"

Jiang Tianhong smiled and nodded, then said casually.

"But if the chestnuts are not handled properly, they will have a bit of astringency, which may affect sales. This pot, for example, is fried very well."

The village chief looked at the people in the yard and understood instantly.

"I'll ask Xiao Meng later if he's willing to teach the villagers how to fry chestnuts. If he's willing, we'll reward him when we make some money!"

Jiang Tianhong: ...

In fact, he also wanted to listen...

His wife's restaurant also has great consumption potential.

They didn't lower their voices when they spoke, so Meng Huaishao, who was standing nearby, also heard what they heard.

He smiled and said to the village chief: "Grandpa village chief, soak these chestnuts in salt and then pickle them in sugar water for a while, then they will no longer be astringent and will be sweet enough."

"If you guys want to sell it, just go ahead. I don't need any compensation!"

The village chief was very moved after hearing this, and immediately praised Meng Huaishao. He also patted his chest and guaranteed that whoever learned his method and made money would never be treated unfairly!

Jiang Tianhong was also deeply touched after hearing this.

I didn't expect a child could be so clear-headed.

Instead, he wanted to show off in front of his wife, so he went astray.

After all, I am not cut out for business!

Jiang Tianhong reflected on himself, wrote down what Meng Huaishao said, and prepared to go back and let the chef try it again.

If he could make it, he would let his wife give priority to buying chestnuts from Zhongyong Village at a high price!

As for branches in other places, it all depends on the situation...

Well, it depends on what his wife says...

As a good husband, you cannot interfere with your wife’s property!

Jiang Tianhong achieved the purpose of his visit today, and instantly felt that the honeysuckle tea in his hand became much more fragrant.

Seeing my own son still eating non-stop, I no longer despise him for being such a glutton...

Meng Huaishao doesn't care about someone stealing his skills.

He personally demonstrated to Caihua'er's mother how to make it today. If everyone in the village learns it in the future, it won't be a big deal!

They have been selling tea and cold drinks for several months this year, and due to the low cost, they have saved up several dozen taels of silver.

The house has been rebuilt and Ye Yaoyao is no longer thinking about the money.

Now, apart from buying new clothes every year and pork a few times a month, their other expenses are not much.

Meng Huaishao calculated that if he and Ye Yaoyao went to school at the same time, they would have no problem holding on for a year or two.

They kept going to the town because of the considerable profits.

It’s hard work, but worth it!

However, they have limited manpower and it is impossible for them to take advantage of all the benefits. Roasting chestnuts with sugar is time-consuming and laborious. If the villagers are interested, they can just make it themselves.

Of course, the main reason is that there is not enough space on the farm to produce chestnuts, so the business is unstable.

Unlike tea and cold drinks, apart from seasonal restrictions, there is no need to worry about the raw materials at all.

Meng Huaishao plans to sell it for another year next year, and when Ye Yaoyao is three years old, he will send her to a girls' school.

He himself went to a private school near the girls' school.

In this way, they can go out together and return home together.

Meng Huaishao has a clear plan for the future, but Ye Yaoyao's only goal now is to live a life of idleness and enjoy free food.

With the farm space, she has the confidence to make ends meet no matter how rough her life turns out!

After leaving Caihuaer's house, Ye Yaoyao and Meng Huaishao returned to their new house.

The new house is completely different from the empty one it once was.

There was neatly arranged firewood under the eaves and several fruit trees planted in the yard.

There are also grape vines transplanted from the old house.

With the irrigation of space water in the farm, these fruit trees are growing well, with lush branches and leaves. It seems that they will start to bear fruit in less than two years.
