Qiao Chao: "What about buying land? Can I buy it?" He felt that renting was worse than buying. If you rent, you can take it back at any time, while buying would be easier.

Qiao Feng pondered for a moment, "The public land in the village cannot be bought or sold. If you want to buy it, the price for top-quality land is three taels of silver, the price for medium-quality land is two taels of silver, and the price for low-quality land is one tael of silver. No one in the village has said they want to sell their land recently."

"But I don't know about the neighboring village." Qiao Feng changed the subject and said, "I need to ask the head of the village about this. I will go there tomorrow."

Qiao Dashan: "Thank you for your help. Just eat your food. Don't be in a hurry."

"Uh-huh."

After the meal, Qiao Feng and Aunt Jin left the Qiao family. On the way back, Qiao Feng said to Aunt Jin, "The Dashan family may become very powerful in the future."

I am already planning to buy some land. If I buy more and more land, won’t I be able to become a landlord?

Aunt Jin: "Fortunately, we have a good relationship with the Dashan family."

Qiao Feng nodded, "Yeah."

After the village chief left, Zhen Yue asked about the remaining silver in the family again, and finally found out that if she bought land, she could only buy one or two acres, so it seemed better to rent it for now.

On the second day, Qiao Feng went to see the head of the village, found out which lands might be sold, and then came back to tell Qiao Chao and the others.

Qiao Chao: "The family is currently in a lot of debt, so we want to rent a few acres of land." This was what he discussed with Zhen Yue last night, and he also told his family in the morning.

In the eyes of outsiders, they already owed others money, and some even said that they owed usury. If they bought more land, it would be too conspicuous, so in the end they decided it was better to rent for the time being.

"Okay, which one do you want to rent?"

Qiao Chao looked at Zhen Yue, and Zhen Yue said, "Then we'll rent two acres of medium-quality land and two acres of inferior land for two years, but we won't pay for the output."

In Zhen Yue's eyes, there is actually no difference between inferior fields and medium fields. As long as she uses her special powers, she can ensure that the output of her fields will be more than the normal output.

She has less superpowers now. If she can recover to her peak level, she won't need to go to the fields herself. She can just put her superpowers into the water and just sprinkle a little.

But it’s not possible now. She has to do all the work on the land herself, and she will feel weak and pale after working on an acre of land.

Qiao Feng calculated that it would cost a total of 1,000 coins for two years. "Get the money ready and come to me tomorrow to get the lease. If you don't have enough money, I can lend you some."

Zhen Yue glanced at Qiao Chao, who immediately said, "Thank you for your kindness, Village Chief. We will raise some money and go to your house tomorrow."

Anyway, their current personality is that their family doesn't have much money. If they can just take out a thousand coins casually, other people will definitely come to borrow money again if they know about it.

Qiao Feng: "Okay. If nothing else, I'll leave first."

Qiao Dashan: "Take care, take care. Thank you very much for this time."

……

After the land was rented, it needed to be plowed and fertilized and cultivated. Everyone in the Qiao family became busy, even Zhen Yue, who had been relatively leisurely.

Qiao Chao still goes to the county town to sell vegetables every few days. Now he has regular customers, and their number is increasing, which saves him a lot of time.

In addition to radishes, cabbage can also be sold. Cabbage has been sold recently, and it cannot be sold out all. Some need to be kept at home, and some need to be saved for seeds. The seeds of vegetables are wrapped in supernatural powers. Zhen Yue can make them grow very well without supernatural powers. However, if they want to grow quickly, supernatural powers are still needed.

The rest of the people went to plow the fields, leaving only Zhen Yue and a few children at home, and she had to bring them water and food.

For this reason, Zhen Yue always made things more convenient, such as steamed buns, leek buns, sauerkraut buns, etc., or frying a dozen or twenty pancakes and making some porridge and sending them over.

As for what to plant on those acres of land, Zhen Yue had already made arrangements. Radishes and cabbages would continue to be planted, as well as soybeans, mustard greens, leeks, cowpeas, cucumbers, green vegetables, onions, ginger, and garlic.

Anyway, there are many varieties. Otherwise, if the dishes sent to the county town are the same every time, Zhen Yue is afraid that people will get tired of them.

In fact, the people in the Song Mansion ate a lot of radishes, but strangely, they didn’t feel sick of them. In addition to the good taste of the radishes themselves, the chef’s contribution was also the credit.

After all, one radish can be used to make more than ten different dishes, and it can also be made into pickled radish, dried radish, etc. If winter comes, radish is also the easiest to preserve.

Zhen Yue had already bought the seeds a long time ago. Some of them had been soaked in water and were ready to germinate. They could be planted once the field was ready.

People in the village soon discovered that the Qiao family had started farming again. It was obvious that the land did not belong to the Qiao family. After asking around, everyone found out that the Qiao family had rented the land and were actually planning to grow vegetables?

"Dashan, why are you growing vegetables? If you don't grow crops, we may not have enough to eat next year." An old man asked. He was one of the oldest people in the village.

Qiao Dashan: "Uncle Liu, we have crops on our land. These are mainly grown for the dignitaries in the city. The dignitaries like the food in my house."

The old man called Uncle Liu shook his head. "If you plant too many vegetables, how much can the nobles eat? You can plant one acre, why do you need to plant so much?"

Qiao Dashan: "This..." He didn't know what to say, for fear that if he said too much he would expose his family's situation.

Qian on the side said directly: "It was my sister-in-law who asked us to plant it, and we couldn't persuade her."

Of course, Uncle Liu had also heard of Zhen Yue's name, the most aggressive daughter-in-law in Danan Village. No other daughter-in-law was as powerful as her. All Qiao Dashan's family had to listen to her. She either quarreled with the eastern family or made trouble with the western family. It seemed that she didn't quarrel much recently after she gave birth to a child, but the legend still existed.

Uncle Liu shook his head and said, "Dashan? It's not good to be too easily influenced." After saying that, he walked away tremblingly. No family can let a daughter-in-law be the head of the family.

Mrs. Zhang, who was passing by, heard it and soon everyone in the village knew about it.

"Is the Qiao Dashan family crazy? They actually grow vegetables?"

"Hey, are you unable to pay back the loan you borrowed so you have no choice but to gamble?"

"It's possible. But... I passed by the Qiao family's land before, and the vegetables in their field were indeed growing very well." Much better than what he grew.

"What's the point of growing vegetables well? How much can a family eat? Even if we sell them, who will buy them? Which family doesn't grow vegetables?"

"Didn't you say to sell it in the county town?"

"Even if we sell it in the county, how much can it fetch? Who do you think the Qiao family knows? It's still like this. If it can't be sold, we can only lower the price and we won't even get back our investment."

"makes sense."

Although a large number of people are not optimistic, there are also some people who think that there must be a reason why the Qiao family grows so many vegetables. No matter how stupid the Qiao family is, they can't be that stupid, right?

All those rumors are true. Everyone in the Qiao family is busy working in the fields. When they get home, they are so tired that they lie down after dinner. Only Zhen Yue and Qiao Chao are more clean and will wash before lying down. Even if they don't wash, they will wipe themselves.

Zhen Yue was quite satisfied with her cheap husband's cleanliness. At least she wouldn't smell foot odor and sweat every night when she went to bed.
