After farming, I opened a family tree

That night, everyone could only return home disappointed.

Before leaving, the head of the Qian family took a deep look at the Tangji Soap Shop hanging above.

In the next few days, many people came to Shenjia Village, both familiar faces and unfamiliar faces.

Most of them were people from surrounding villages, all vying to see the rice that could yield a thousand kilograms per mu.

But to their disappointment, the rice fields where Shen Tang's family lived had been surrounded by villagers from Shenjia Village.

There are patrols on duty at all times.

"Whatever you do, stay away from the rice fields."

"Which village are you from? What are you doing next to the rice fields in Shenjia Village?"

"Brother, we just want to see what the rice looks like."

"Everyone, go away! Don't come near the rice fields of Shenjia Village until the rice is ripe."

......

As time went by, the number of people coming to Shenjia Village increased instead of decreased, all attracted by the rice yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu.

In just a few days, the news that Shenjia Village had grown rice that could yield 1,000 kilograms per mu spread like wildfire, not only throughout the surrounding area but even to Qingshan Town.

The Fang family grain store is the largest grain merchant in Qingshan Town, and the current head of the Fang family is Fang Hui.

"Boss, should we send someone to take a look?"

The grain shop manager asked carefully.

"Could it be that the head shopkeeper also believes that there really is rice that can produce a thousand catties per mu? Besides, if there really is rice that can produce a thousand catties per mu, how can Shen Tang still sit still?"

Fang Hui shook the folding fan in his hand and sneered.

"But now, this news has spread to all the surrounding villages. I heard that the Wu family has also sent people to secretly go to Shenjia Village to inquire about the news."

"If the Wu family was still headed by Old Master Wu, I would be a little wary of him. But now his son has taken over, tsk, he's always been inferior to me. You bosses are worrying too much."

Seeing Fang Hui's attitude, several shopkeepers looked at each other, and no one dared to take the lead.

"Alright, since there's nothing else to do, let's go. By the way, I'm going to the capital soon, so the chief shopkeeper will be in charge of the autumn harvest."

After Fang Hui finished speaking, he took a sip of tea and went out, fanning himself with a folding fan.

"Boss, the young master..."

The head shopkeeper looked at Fang Hui's receding back and sighed deeply.

"It's better to inform the old man."

There are quite a few grain shops in Qingshan Town, and more or less everyone has heard the news.

Everyone in Shenjia Village has been very nervous recently. In all these years, there have never been so many people coming to Shenjia Village.

But everyone who came here was also shocked by the road in front of the entrance of Shenjia Village.

At the entrance of Tangji Zaofang, there are more and more unfamiliar faces, including the owner of Wu’s Grain Shop.

"Boss, why do these people come here every day? The road is blocked."

A worker spoke up.

These people have been standing at the workshop door every day for several days, blocking them from going to work.

Shen Tang sat in the yard and glanced at the people peeking outside. There weren't enough of them.

The sky in June is like a child's face, it changes at will.

It started raining in the morning and it didn't stop until the afternoon.

As a result, there were fewer outsiders coming to Shenjia Village, and the village chief Shen took the opportunity to send people to guard the village entrance.

As the autumn harvest approached, Shen Lizheng discussed with the village elders and decided to no longer allow non-Shenjiacun residents to enter the village.

However, Shenjia Village has many fertile fields covering a wide area, so Shen Tang’s rice fields can only be looked after by special people.

"Village head, two people have come to the village entrance. They claim to be from the Wu Family Grain Shop in Qingshan Town and want to see Shen Tang."

The man guarding the village entrance came back to inform us.

Could it be that the people from the grain shop are here to buy seeds? Shen Lizheng thought for a moment, then turned around and went to the soap shop to look for Shen Tang.

A moment later, two men stood in the Zaofang reception room, a handsome young man with a decent appearance and a smart middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

"Boss Shen, I'm Wu Changfeng, the owner of the Wu Family Grain Shop in town, and this is the shopkeeper of our shop.

I apologize for my intrusion today."

Wu Changfeng said this and bowed with both hands.

"If I'm not mistaken, you two have been wandering around Shenjia Village for many days."

The Wu Family Grain Shop is an old grain shop in Qingshan Town. It is said that the shop has been engaged in grain business since Old Grandpa Wu. Later, the business expanded and also expanded to other places. However, when the war broke out, the Wu family's business became much more difficult.

But the Wu family's food is indeed impeccable. It is all high-quality rice, and the new rice is never mixed with old rice.

"Exactly."

"I wonder what brings you two here in the rain today."

When Wu Changfeng heard this, he glanced at the shopkeeper and composed himself.

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Shen from Shenjia Village had grown rice that could yield 1,000 kilograms per mu. I wanted to come and see it, but I haven't had the chance to see it yet.

But my Wu family came here with sincerity."

There was sincerity in Wu Changfeng's voice.

"My Wu family has some in-laws with the Linjia Village clansmen, and we also know that Boss Shen has promised to give priority to our village and several neighboring villages for this year and next year's rice seeds. My Wu family hopes to purchase rice seeds from Boss Shen and Shenjia Village starting next year."

"Changfeng knows that rice seeds are precious, so the price is set by Boss Shen."

Shen Tang looked at the young man in his twenties in front of him and became a little curious.

"Just name the price as I please. Aren't you afraid that I'll ask for a higher price?"

"Rice seeds that yield 1,000 kilograms per mu deserve a high price."

Hybrid rice cannot be saved for seeds, but the system provides the possibility of saving seeds.

The system also gave a special reward, which was the first generation of hybrid rice planted by Shen Tang using the bag of seeds he got from the system. In other words, the rice in these two acres of land could be kept for seeds after it matured.

This was also the reason why Shen Tang dared to say that he would distribute rice seeds to the people of Shenjia Village.

The rice seed saving and planting provided by the system are actually different. Rice that can be saved for seeds requires a small piece of land to be set aside and carefully cared for with good fertilizer to ensure that the rice grown is better than usual.

A yield of 1,000 kilograms per mu does not mean that all rice can be used as rice seeds.

What the Wu family wanted to buy was not the grown rice, but the rice seeds.

Quite smart.

"I already know what Boss Wu is here for, but I can't agree to it."

"Boss Shen, we can talk more!"

"Boss Wu, there's no need to say more. I've already sent a letter to the county magistrate regarding the rice seeds."

When Wu Changfeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then he understood and looked at Shen Tang with more admiration.

Notifying the county magistrate would mean that the government would intervene and the Wu family would have no chance.

"However, Boss Wu is the first grain merchant to take the initiative to join my Shen family. The Shen family grain store has been in Qingshan Town for decades. I will still give this face, but I still have to wait for the instructions of the county magistrate. Boss Wu, why don't you come back during the autumn harvest?"

Shen Tang spoke with a smile.

She didn't have a grain store and was not familiar with grain sales, but it would be best if there was a ready-made grain merchant to help her.

Judging from the time, Master Li and the others should have arrived at the county government office by now.

When Wu Changfeng heard this, he was about to speak when he was interrupted by the shopkeeper behind him.

"We in Qingshan Town have long heard about how Boss Shen behaves and does things. Since Boss Shen said so, he will definitely keep his word. Our Wu family is waiting for good news from Boss Shen."

"It's natural."

Shen Tang smiled and sent the two away, with a gleam in his eyes.
