The crowd was very enthusiastic and shouted, "Cheng Yue girl, my family will come to work in exchange for potatoes!"

"I want seeds too! Just call us when it's time to plant potatoes!"

"I think the men in the family should stop collecting herbs and go open up wasteland instead!"

"I think it's okay! We have to reclaim the wasteland! We have so little land that we can't even grow high-yield crops! We have to reclaim the wasteland!"

The village head was very pleased, because he knew that these people he had found were smart and knew who to follow and what to do!

"Okay, I'll let everyone know when I need help, and I'll keep the seeds for everyone!"

Cheng Yue naturally agreed, because she knew that no one would refuse such a good thing.

Wei Lanfen said anxiously: "Sister Cheng Yue, can I get some seeds first? I will use labor to make up for it when the time comes. There is a vacant lot behind our yard, and I want to plant some this year!"

Such a good thing, she can’t wait to plant it next year. There is just over an acre of vacant land behind the house. She originally wanted to plant some cabbage, but now she has potatoes, what else should she plant?

Everyone thought it made sense. Who doesn't have some open space in front of or behind their house? It would be better to plant potatoes if it's left empty!

After Wei Lanfen said this, everyone started shouting and wanted to get some potato seeds in advance.

Cheng Yue smiled and nodded, "Sure! If anyone else wants some, just let me know how much you want. I'll prepare the seeds in advance and give them to you when I plant them in August. I'll also teach you how to plant them!"

Then Cheng Yue went into the house and took out a pen and paper. Everyone rushed to report the trees they had planted. They were all in front of or behind their houses or in their own yards, so they didn't need many seeds.

After this was said, everyone dispersed and went home to discuss the division of labor between collecting herbs and clearing the land.

After the others left, Chen An stepped forward and said, "Ayue, our family has little land, including the dry land on the mountain, it is only about thirteen acres.

The fields along the river are used to grow wheat. There are too few fields that can be used to grow potatoes. We have to reclaim the land.”

There are many mountains and little land in the village. It has always been like this. However, A Yue needs a large amount of potatoes, and I am afraid that all the land in the village cannot supply them.

Although reclaiming land is a solution, it will take several years.

Cheng Yue has thought about this matter. Reclaiming land will solve future problems, but current problems can only be solved by buying land.

Chen An shook his head. "Buy land? I'm afraid we can only go to another village to buy it. It seems that no one is selling land in our village."

The villagers regard land as their lifeblood. No one would sell their land easily unless they have difficulty making ends meet or encounter some major financial crisis.

Cheng Yue looked up at the sky, why is it so troublesome to buy land?

After thinking for a while, he said, "If there are other villages, they can only be Qingshan Village and Dalinggou. After all, my parents and uncle are here, so I can rest assured if they look after me."

In fact, the best way is to buy a farm, which has a lot of land and is easy to manage. However, her current financial resources are not enough to reach such a level, so buying a farm can only be a thought.

After all, I still have no money!

Chen An nodded, "Okay, I'll take some time to go over there in the next two days to talk about potatoes and buying land, and also explain how to build a kang."

Cheng Yue had no objection. These were all small things that could be done when she had time. The top priority now was to roll up her sleeves and make money!

The business that can be promoted the most must be the marinade bags. I was busy making pastries for some time before, and recently I have been busy building a house. Now that all the things have come to an end, I have time to do this!

After saying that, Cheng Yue started to continue making pastries. What she used in the past two days were all the previous stock, and if she didn't make more, she would not be able to use them out.

Chen An went to the old house, gave some instructions to a few people, and prepared to put on his pickaxe to go open up the wasteland. However, as soon as he turned around, he saw two familiar figures walking up the mountain.

"Ah cat, Ah dog?"

The people who came were none other than Amao and Agou, who had helped to keep an eye on Chen Ping and Zeng Youcai before. But ever since the two of them got into trouble, Chen An and the others hadn't seen Amao and Agou for a long time.

The two of them were obviously heading straight towards them. Could something have happened?

The cats and dogs also saw Chen An and hurried over, panting and saying, "Master Chen, we finally found you!"

As expected, what Brother Chen Lin said was right. His house was not difficult to find. It was just up the mountain at the end of the village. It was the largest and best house in the village.

Chen An asked worriedly, "But what happened? Why are you here?"

Ah Mao and Ah Gou waved their hands repeatedly, "No, no, no! It's about the shop. Brother Chen Lin said it's a good thing. They can't leave, so they asked us to pass on the message!"

Hearing that it was a good thing, Chen An felt relieved. He didn't know anything about the shop, so he took his cat and dog to the new house to find Cheng Yue.

As soon as they entered the gate, everyone was stunned. They had never seen such a nice house. It looked big from the outside, but once they came in, they couldn't help but shrink back.

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at their own dirty shoes, which even had mud on the soles. They didn't know how to step on such a clean ground.

Chen An was walking in front and realized that the two people were not keeping up, so he looked back and saw the two people rubbing the soles of their shoes hard outside the door.

Although these two children are little beggars, they can be seen to be very sensible. Chen An felt a little soft-hearted. If they had not suffered a disaster, they would have been children from good families.

So he said softly, "Come in, it's okay."

Upon hearing this, the cats and dogs paused, lowered their heads and followed. Although Master Chen was tall and strong, one could tell at a glance that he was a man with a good temper.

Unlike their father, who has a fierce face and only beats their mother and sister, if it weren't for their father, they would not have become orphans and had to go out to beg for food.

Chen An asked the two to wait in the yard, and he went into the kitchen to call Cheng Yue, "Ah Yue, Ah Mao and Ah Gou are here. It's about the shop. Xiao Lin asked them to pass on the message."

The matter of the shop? What was it that was worth asking anybody to pass on the message?

"it is good!"

Cheng Yue wiped her hands, took two more bowls of water, and then walked out. Her intuition told her that it was probably a good thing!

When the cats and dogs saw Cheng Yue coming out, they immediately stood up and said, "Madam!"

Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? Sit down. Come, drink some water first. Have you eaten yet?"

These two children are very skinny. They must be exhausted after running such a long distance from the county town to Houshui Village.

Ah Mao and Ah Gou took the water, their eyes a little moist, "Thank you, ma'am, we have eaten, Brother Xiao Lin gave us two chicken racks and some cakes to eat."

The master, his mistress and their family were all good people. They poured them a bowl of water without asking any questions. Brother Xiaolin was afraid that they would be hungry on the road, so he gave them some food.

Cheng Yue nodded, "That's good. You said it was about the shop. What happened?"

Ah Mao Ah Gou put down his bowl, cleared his throat and said word by word, "Brother Xiao Lin said that a master from the prefecture came to the shop to discuss the braised food business. The quantity required is very large. In order to stabilize him, he mentioned the matter of the marinade package. I don't know if it is feasible, so he asked you to go."

After saying this, the two of them looked at each other and nodded. They had recited this all the way, so it must be correct!
