Cheng Yue shook her head. "Uncle Lizheng, I don't charge money. To be honest, I want to do some potato business and need a lot of potatoes. So if everyone grows them, it will be good for me. I don't want to charge you money."

The village head is like a reliable old father to them. Cheng Yue always speaks his mind and doesn't want to hide anything.

"Doing business is not the same as giving seeds to everyone. Although you are making money, everyone is also benefiting. Since you are benefiting, you can't just give nothing in return, otherwise you will spoil them!"

The head of the village didn't know much about business, but he was well versed in the ways of the world. He was the first one to disagree with Cheng Yuebai giving the seeds.

Cheng Yue knew what the head of the village meant, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that everyone has no land to grow potatoes this year, so it's a good opportunity for you to come and help us. The wages can be paid in the form of potato seeds.

We have several acres of dry land on the mountain that are vacant. I want to plant potatoes on them so that I can have more seeds for everyone next year."

In fact, there are plenty of potatoes in the space, and the supply is inexhaustible. But if she doesn't say that, the village head will be suspicious. After all, she can't take out so many seeds at once for the whole village to plant!

The head of the village smiled and nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "This is a good idea! Whoever wants to plant potatoes can come and work. The more work you do, the more seeds you will get; the less work you do, the fewer seeds you will get!

Okay, I'll leave first. I'll tell everyone about the land reclamation and seeds tomorrow and see what they think! "

This was such a good thing, if it wasn't getting late, he would have wanted to go door to door to inform everyone immediately!

Cheng Yue continued, "Okay, I'll steam some potatoes for everyone to try tomorrow! Uncle Lizheng, call everyone over!"

The head of the village laughed heartily, "Great! Let them see this pile of potatoes with their own eyes, and see who will not go and reclaim the land!"

After saying this, the headman staggered down the mountain, humming a little tune.

The next day.

Taking advantage of everyone's free time at noon, the head of the village went to notify everyone in the village one by one. He first went to the families that had broken up with Cheng Yue, but he only talked about the land reclamation and did not mention potatoes at all.

After all, there was nothing to mention about the quarrels between these families and Cheng Yue. As for the land reclamation, they could go or not! He was only responsible for conveying the message.

Of course, they would not go. They had made a lot of money from selling medicinal herbs and had just had a few days of good life. How could they have the energy to open up wasteland? Wouldn't that be asking for trouble?

This was also within the expectations of the village head. Those people sold the herbs to the pharmacy in the town. Although the price was lower, it was much better than before.

But I didn't expect that I didn't know how to save the money I had. Instead, I just indulged in enjoying myself every day and became more and more lazier.

The head of the village was so angry that he didn't bother to say anything. He turned around and asked the people who were collecting medicinal herbs to go to Cheng Yue's house.

As for the families of Chen Ping, Zhao and Cao Po, the head of the village simply skipped them to avoid getting angry!

The former are too ambitious and asking them to open up new land is tantamount to asking for their lives!

Ever since Li Laomen and his friends separated from the latter's family, the grass in the field has grown to the height of their calves. Those two lazy guys who would rather lie down than stand up have not been seen weeding the land, so it would be strange if they could go and reclaim the land!

Of course, there was also Grandma Sun's family. The head of the village was not left out, but this family was busy with "internal fighting" and causing trouble for Chen Ping and Zhao from time to time, so they had no intention of reclaiming the land at all.

As the village head walked up the mountain, he sighed in his heart, if a person has bad intentions, he will be afraid of getting hit on the head even if a pie falls from the sky, and will not be able to catch it at all!

Everyone else in the village is getting better and better, but these few families are the only ones who will probably suffer in the future!

But no one can save anyone else, it’s your own choice!

The group arrived at Cheng Yue's house and smelled a fragrance as soon as they entered the door.

"Everyone is here! Come and try the potatoes. They are fresh out of the pot. They are good to eat dry. There is also roasted pepper sauce here. You can also spread it on it!"

Cheng Yue made the roasted pepper sauce herself. There were a lot of peppers in the vegetable garden, so she roasted them over fire and then added mashed garlic and seasonings to make the roasted pepper sauce, which has a very unique taste.

It has become the most frequently seen dish to go with rice. Sisters Chen Tong and Chen Ning always spread a spoonful of it even when eating steamed buns.

Chen Lin likes to eat it even more, so this time he brought two big jars with him!

On the way, everyone had heard the head of the village talk about reclaiming wasteland and planting potatoes, and they were already curious. Now they saw Cheng Yue setting out a large pot of food and eating it with relish, without any false politeness at all.

Aunt Li picked up a potato and joked, "The potato that the village head just described is the best in the world. We should try it quickly to see if he is lying!"

Xu laughed and scolded, "You're just eating, but you dare to make up stories about the head of the village!"

The village head ignored them and started eating potatoes, smearing some roasted pepper sauce on them with his chopsticks.

Last night, Feng steamed some potatoes. They were sandy and soft, but had no taste. Now, they are smeared with roasted pepper sauce and the aroma is overwhelming!

Cheng Yue was right, these potatoes taste delicious no matter how you eat them!

Li Zheng had already eaten, so he didn't seem too surprised. On the other hand, Aunt Li and the others all stared with their eyes wide open.

"It may look insignificant, but it tastes just as good as white flour and rice! It's soft and fragrant!"

"It's so delicious even when eaten dry, and it's even better with this chili sauce!"

"I can't believe that something this delicious can grow out of the ground!"

As they ate, everyone exclaimed, "Cheng Yue girl, you really only planted two mu of land and harvested more than 500 kilograms?"

Cheng Yue nodded, and then led everyone to the back house, one of which had become a warehouse.

"These are all the potatoes. You can take a look."

There were piles of potatoes in the room. Everyone had to believe it even if they didn't want to. These potatoes were really grown from two mu of land. It was really scary!

If I planted a few more acres, how much would I get? Even if I paid the tax, I couldn't even imagine what would be left over!

Cheng Yue spoke at the right time: "Uncle Lizheng must have just told everyone about the land reclamation and potato planting, so I won't say more.

What I want to say is that if you grow potatoes, I will pay for the rest, except for the ones you keep for eating. It’s hard to say how much a pound costs now, but I guarantee that everyone will make money.”

She wanted to open a workshop to make vermicelli, but there was no such thing at that time. She knew how profitable it would be. In addition to vermicelli, she could also make various snacks. In short, she could definitely make money!

Everyone blinked and said in disbelief: "What? You want to pay for it?" Is there such a good thing?

Isn't this a piece of cake? The seeds were given by Cheng Yue. Not only can they eat them and save them in an emergency, but they can also sell them to make money? Cheng Yue even made a guarantee in advance!

Cheng Yue nodded seriously and said, "Yes!"

Everyone was overwhelmed by this good thing. No wonder the local official wanted them to open up wasteland. If it was a good thing that could make money, of course the more they planted, the more money they could make and the better their life would be!

Once the land is opened up, you can’t escape it. You get what you plant. In the first few years of opening up the land, there are not only no taxes but also subsidies!

I didn’t go there before because I thought I couldn’t grow anything, but now that we have potatoes, such a high-yield crop, we must plant them!

Even if Cheng Yue doesn't accept it and can't make any money, they won't suffer any loss!
