The casual life of the flat space

When the villagers heard that if the information was leaked, they would have to pay 10,000 taels of silver, and if they didn't have the money, their entire family would have to sell themselves into slavery, several families immediately refused to sign. Bai Tieying didn't want these people either, and he couldn't guarantee that he could keep his mouth shut, and that would be the source of trouble in the future, so it was better to find a way to refuse from the beginning.

So, of the 23 girls, only 10 stayed to sign the contract, which was in line with Bai Tieying's plan. Although the children would be tired for a while, there were only 20 days a year to collect frogs. If the number of technicians was controlled, the output would naturally be controlled.

Toads certainly have medicinal value, but it is not necessary to have them, so Bai Tieying wanted to go the boutique route from the beginning. What is a boutique? Of course, it is a scarce product. If it is not sold as well as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, Bai Tieying's efforts would be in vain.

"Grandpa Liao, let me congratulate you first! With your leadership, our village, this Feng Shui treasure land, will soon have grain in stock and surplus money in every household. Who knows, our village may even be the first village to pay off its water truck debts!" ​​After seeing off the others, Bai Tieying said to Village Chief Liao.

"Hahahaha! Good boy, this is all thanks to your strength! Well, when are you going to arrange work for us?"

"Grandpa Liao, I told you before that the weight of the toad itself greatly affects the weight of the final product, so now is not the best time to catch toads. Besides, we can't kill all the fish, otherwise what will our descendants eat?

I went to such great lengths to sign the contract in order to prevent those with shortsightedness and ill intentions from influencing me in the future. Of course, this secret cannot be kept forever, I just hope it can last as long as possible!

In addition, our village needs to gather some people to figure out how to raise frogs by ourselves, just like raising chickens and pigs, we have to find the rules of raising frogs, otherwise no matter how many frogs we have, we can’t catch them every year! And I suggest that these people be selected from these ten families, and then all the village elders give their support and cooperation.

Of course, that is a long-term plan. Now we can catch a small number of female frogs, as large as possible, so that the girls can practice first, so that when the number increases, their hands will be more familiar. "

"Okay, then where can these kids do this? It's not convenient for us to be alone at home!"

"Grandpa Liao, I wanted to ask you the last time I came here, but I didn't have the courage to do it. My Uncle Liao..."

"Oh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's all because of poverty. Your grandmother Liao and I didn't keep the children we had before, so we had your uncle Liao when we were older. And then your grandmother Liao passed away early, and your uncle Liao was quiet and not good-looking, so it's been delayed until now!"

"Haha, Grandpa Liao, don't worry. After the Toad thing is done, I guarantee that the matchmaker will be able to knock down the door of your house!"

"Hehe, that's great! Oh, you little girl, why are you talking about matchmaker? Aren't you ashamed?" Village chief Liao just opened his mouth with a missing left fang in joy, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't say this to a child, so he changed his mouth suddenly.

"What's there to be ashamed of? Isn't this just human nature? Or do you want to stop messing with the toad?"

"What? What does this toad have to do with my family?"

"I plan to call the stuff in the toad the Snow Maiden's Marrow. I'll make up some stories later. Of course, that's a story for later. What I want to say is that after the Snow Maiden's Marrow is extracted, don't you want to think about the old toad meat?"

"Oh, that's true. It's not a good idea to throw it away. But even if we eat it every day, it won't taste as good as you do!" Village chief Liao listened to Bai Tieying's words and felt confused in his heart.

"That's why I said your family will definitely welcome a new person next year. How about you sign a contract with me for the snow-girl fat, or toad meat?"

"What's wrong with that? But can you sell all those old ones? If they go bad again, everything will be ruined."

"Thank you, Grandpa Liao. Don't worry. I've done a lot of work. Besides, with my cooking skills, I dare to brag that as long as they have eaten it, they will still want it. There will only be not enough to eat, and there will definitely be no unsellable food."

"Hahaha, that's right, you're not bragging when you say that. Okay, then tell me what we should do!"

"Who else in this village can be as assured as yours? But we can't let other families get jealous, so we can ask those village elders to come one or two people a day to accompany you. Considering the number, they can also serve as witnesses, so this matter won't be a big deal."

"Hey! Tieying! Don't be angry, grandpa is telling you the truth. I just think it would be great if you were my granddaughter!" Grandpa Liao couldn't help but stroke his beard and said.

"Grandpa Liao, I have called you grandpa for a long time. Are you just treating me as your granddaughter now?" Bai Tieying pretended to be angry.

"Oh, hahaha, yes, yes! You're right, we are like grandparents and grandchildren, it doesn't matter whether we are relatives or not! Well, have lunch at grandpa's house at noon, and grandpa will ask your uncle to kill a chicken for you!"

"Okay, then I won't be polite to Grandpa Liao. I still have a lot of things to tell you! But I have to cook this meal! How can a younger generation let an elder cook when he is around?"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you! I'll ask your uncle to catch some more frogs. Last time, those old guys took all of them away. I tell you, I've been dreaming about this kind of food these days!"

"Then you hold it! I promise to show you my best skills! But, Grandpa Liao, can you let my uncle help me kill it? I don't dare to kill chickens."

"Hahaha! Hey, little girl, you're still afraid? All right! It's no big deal, just wait in the house! I'll go to the field to call your uncle!"

"I'll go with you! It's a good opportunity to stroll around our village and see if there's anything we can sell."

"Oh, that's great! Come on, let grandpa take you for a walk!"

Bai Tieying followed the village chief Liao and asked Uncle Liao to kill chickens and catch toads. Then she looked around the village. It was true that the Toad Village was located in the mountains, so they could collect a lot of mountain products, and the quality was quite good. So the contract she signed with the Toad Village included one more item, which was also what she had planned from the beginning.

However, Village Chief Liao's idea of ​​"eating alone" still failed to come true. Everyone knew that Bai Tieying was here, and the village elders who had eaten so much last time were already waiting. The village elders who could only eat rice with soup last time also caught the toads and waited for Bai Tieying to finish chatting with Village Chief Liao!

Bai Tieying and Uncle Liao went home first, one killed a chicken and the other extracted the marrow of the snow girl, and soon they were ready. But when he saw Uncle Liao put so much water in the steaming rice, Bai Tieying sighed in his heart, it was all because of poverty!
