Now that she said this, it must be true.

And it cost two hundred coins. If we can really grow high-yield crops, then let alone two hundred coins, it would be worth two taels of silver.

You should know that the grain yields grown by every household nowadays are not high, and most of them rely on the weather for their food. If there is a drought or disaster year, the yield will be even less, and the family will not even have enough to eat.

"Yun Chu, should we eat this directly or...?"

Lin Changting pointed at the potatoes in Lin Yunchu's hand and asked, "It's only half a bag. I'm afraid it won't last for a few days."

They have a large family, so the food will be gone in just a few days.

"I didn't buy these to eat. I plan to plant them and eat them when the harvest comes next year."

Lin Yunchu smiled. This half bag was not enough for her family to eat. It would be eaten up in a few days. She had a better use for it.

As they were talking, Lin Cuizhi, Xu and the other two arrived at the Lin family's house. They were also very curious when they saw the potatoes.

"This looks like... can actually be cooked?"

Lin Cuizhi originally thought that it looked like a piece of stone and a bit ugly, but Lin Yunchu thought it was indeed a treasure. This half bag cost two hundred coins.

If these two hundred coins were used to buy sweet potatoes, how many sweet potatoes could I buy?

Lin Yunchu curled his lips and said, "Yes, it tastes very good. I'll make it for you when I grow it."

Seeing that Lin Qingshan and his family had arrived, Lin Yunchu asked his mother to go back to the house and take out all the money she had earned from selling loquat paste.

Then he calculated the accounts of the past few days, "Excluding the money for buying sugar cubes and Sichuan Fritillaria, the total remaining is 34 taels of silver. Each of our two families will get 17 taels."

Upon hearing Lin Yunchu's words, Lin Qingshan's family all looked happy. They had never dared to imagine having so much money before.

Lin Qingshan didn't expect that the fruit that no one in the back mountain wanted to eat could be sold for so much silver. His hands were shaking with excitement.

He thought to himself that when he had some free time tomorrow, he would go to the back mountain to dig up a few loquat seedlings and plant them in his yard and backyard.

In a few years, it will bear fruit, which will bring more income to the family.

Holding the silver that Lin's mother put in her hand, Xu's fingers trembled slightly, although she had secretly estimated how much silver she could get.

But when the silver was actually placed in his hands, he still couldn't believe it. It was seventeen taels of silver. He had never touched so much silver in his life.

“Isn’t this a bit much?”

Lin Qingshan asked hesitantly, even though the two families had agreed to work together on the loquat paste and split the profits in half.

He also knew that sugar cubes and Sichuan Fritillaria were not cheap, and that Lin Yunchu was in charge of making loquat paste, so they didn't have to worry about it.

His family had only done some manual labor, and he felt a little embarrassed to receive so much money.

After hearing what Lin Qingshan said, Xu felt that the silver in her hand suddenly became hot.

She was naturally happy to earn some money, but it was indeed too much. Although it was agreed upon at the beginning, her family had only put in some effort, so how could they share so much money?

"Uncle, our two families had already agreed on this matter, so please keep it."

The Lin family all know how to be grateful. At the beginning, they were so poor that they couldn't even afford eggs. Lin Qingshan's family was not in a good situation either, but they still helped them.

Moreover, this matter had already been agreed upon at the beginning. Although it was Lin Yunchu's idea, both families contributed.

"Yes, big brother, just do as Yun Chu said."

Father Lin was afraid that his elder brother would not accept the money, so he quickly tried to comfort him.

After the money was divided, Lin Yunchu looked at his father and told him in detail about his plan to buy land.

As soon as the words fell, not only Father Lin, but everyone in the room was a little surprised. Although every farmer wanted to buy this land, it was not cheap.

The family had finally earned some money, and Father Lin had originally thought that he would finally have some savings, so that the family's life would be a little better in the future and not so tight.

"We already have land at home, so why should we buy more farmland?"

The Lin family didn't have much land, and the crops they grew were barely enough to feed the family. As long as there wasn't a disaster, they could still have enough to eat if they saved some.

His family was used to being poor, so Father Lin couldn't help but feel distressed when he thought about spending the money he had just earned.

"Dad, we farmers don't worry about having too much land. The more the better. Besides, I bought the land to grow potatoes. When the potatoes are harvested next year, I can sell them and make the money back naturally."

Lin Yunchu was not worried at all. After the potatoes were grown, their value would be much more than this. Once she thought about it carefully, she would definitely be able to come up with more methods.

"this......"

Father Lin wanted to say something but was interrupted by Lin Qingshan who was standing beside him.

"I think Yun Chu is right. For us farmers, the most important thing is land. No matter how much we have, it's never too much."

Although he felt reluctant to spend the newly earned money immediately, Lin Qingshan listened to Lin Yunchu's words, thought about it carefully and felt that what Lin Yunchu said was indeed right.

If you buy land and farm it yourself, you will have enough food and will not be hungry or cold in the future.

After hearing what Lin Yunchu said, he was actually a little tempted.

Everyone has witnessed Lin Yunchu's abilities these days. Since she said these potatoes can be made, then there is no problem.

Lin Yunchu's words made him think about buying land, but he couldn't grow the half bag of potatoes at home. However, he could grow the peppers together with his younger brother's family.

Lin Yunchu had said before that the owner of Yipintang had other restaurants in other places, and there might not be enough chili peppers by then.

If I grow peppers at home, I won’t have to worry about selling them with Lin Yunchu here.

"Since Yun Chu said so, I'll use the money I earn to buy some land. I'll plant some peppers and other crops. Anyway, I won't lose money."

After saying this, he looked at Lin Yunchu, who was full of approval. He replied, "I agree with your idea, uncle. The peppers we grow from the small piece of land we've reclaimed won't be enough for Yipin Pavilion."

This chili can also be made into chili sauce. Now all the major restaurants in Taihe Town are looking for it, so there is no worry about sales.

After listening to what Lin Qingshan and Lin Yunchu said, Lin Wenshan moved his mouth and swallowed the words he was about to say.

Finally, under the gazes of everyone, he nodded solemnly, "Okay, I'll listen to Yun Chu. Then I'll go to the headman's house and ask if there are any fields for sale in the village."
