Chapter 128 The whole village came to see the sweet potato planting
The next morning, Su Wanwan was also dumbfounded when she saw the pile of things Shen Yuan bought.
Not only did she buy a lot of vegetables and meat, she also bought a bunch of clothes, and the most important thing was a red wedding dress.
Fortunately, this wedding dress was not like the ancient wedding dresses she had seen on TV. After all, those were too luxurious and should be wedding dresses that only wealthy families could afford.
This wedding dress is actually a red dress with some patterns embroidered on it.
The fabric is also better than other clothes and looks like it can be worn on a daily basis.
The wedding dress also comes with a veil.
Little Yue'er touched the red veil and smiled so much that her eyes became crescent shapes.
When daddy and sister get married, sister will be her real mother.
This red wedding dress is really beautiful, my sister will look great in it.
"My aunt will come with my two sisters-in-law to cook. I also want to invite Feng Gang and the others to come."
Shen Yuan has already made all the arrangements for the wedding.
Su Wanwan naturally didn't have to worry about anything. She just wanted to keep everything simple and there was no need to have a wedding.
"Ah."
She nodded and picked up her and Xiao Yue'er's coarse cloth clothes.
I have to say that Shen Yuan's taste in choosing clothes has improved.
Because of the order from above, Tongxu County must resettle all refugees and prevent them from moving south, so Daliushu Village is temporarily safe.
According to Shen Yuan's inference, the refugees will not move south for at least two or three months.
Shen Yuan also brought back a piece of news that the Imperial Observatory predicted that it would rain in mid-June. I heard that the Imperial Observatory was quite accurate.
No matter what, the land cannot be left idle.
As for if the refugees really go south and pass through the sweet potato fields, they have other options.
Su Wanwan changed her clothes and came out. Shen Yuan frowned when he saw her.
"There's no need for you to go to the fields. Just rest at home. I'll find someone to do it. The price is 20 cents a day. There are people rushing to do it."
Shen Yuan was reluctant to let Su Wanwan go to work in the fields.
It's so hot today, it's tanning to death.
Su Wanwan looked at the sun and thought about it. She also didn’t want to be exposed to the sun.
Today's task is to turn over the ground first, and then raise the soil into a small hill shape so that the sweet potato seedlings can stand up.
"Okay, I'll make you some mung bean water to cool you down."
The twenty cents wage does not include meals, and Su Wanwan naturally does not want to cook for so many people, so she just provides water.
Shen Yuan didn't dare to delay, so he took his tools and went out, running straight to the headman's house.
Liu Daping already knew that Shen Yuan had bought the wasteland, and naturally knew that he wanted to plant sweet potatoes, so he went to call people early in the morning.
The whole village was shocked to hear that Shen Yuan actually bought the sandy land at the edge.
What can be grown on that sandy soil? I heard it's some rare thing with a very high yield.
Can we still grow food at this time?
Why are they so unconvinced?
I'm afraid this will lead to a huge loss.
That’s not right. When did Shen Yuan become so rich that he could buy an ox cart and land?
Could it be that he really hunted a big one during the previous few times he went into the mountains?
I remember that Shen Yuan killed a tiger last year. I'm afraid he might succeed again this year.
Alas, comparing yourself with others is really frustrating.
Shen Yuan is really in high spirits now. Not only has he married a wife, but he also has money to buy land.
A group of people ran to the sandy land to watch the excitement.
Shen Yuan was already at the edge of the field, driving the cattle, with his trouser legs rolled up, looking like he was ready for a big job.
He had guessed that many people would come to watch the fun, but he didn't expect that almost the entire village would come out.
He and Su Wanwan had already discussed the matter of planting sweet potatoes, and they couldn't keep it a secret. There were few seedlings this year, and when this batch of sweet potatoes matured, they could grow more seedlings. Then anyone in the village who wanted to plant them could buy them, or they could wait for the sweet potatoes to mature and use them to pay off debts.
In this way, the villagers will join them in protecting the land.
The village head also meant this. He had eaten sweet potatoes before, and not only did he support Shen Yuan very much, he was also very grateful to him.
Shen Yuan is really selfless.
"Yuan, is the yield of the sweet potatoes you mentioned really that high?"
Some people can't help asking.
"Are the sweet potatoes delicious? Why didn't you let us try them?"
Someone else asked.
"You want to taste something so precious? There's not even enough land to grow it."
There are still people who know the times.
"Li Zheng, have you ever eaten sweet potatoes? Are they really delicious? Can they really be grown?"
Seeing that Shen Yuan did not answer, everyone pointed their fingers at the head of the village.
"Whether it can be planted or not, you will know when Shen Yuan plants it. But one thing is for sure, sweet potatoes are delicious, better than the coarse grains we eat."
"Listen to me, all of you be quiet. If anyone dares to take advantage of this sweet potato, I will be the first to kill him."
"We should all be grateful to Shen Yuan and his wife. Shen Yuan said that it was his wife who first discovered the sweet potatoes. If they are really that good after being planted, we can plant them together. If they are not, Shen Yuan will bear the risk. So, whoever does anything that is detrimental to this field will not be able to plant sweet potatoes next year."
After all, the village head has been in this position for so many years, and he still has a lot of style. What he said was sincere and heartfelt.
When everyone heard it, they realized it was true.
This is of great concern to him. If the sweet potatoes can really be grown, they will never go hungry in the future.
If the crops fail to grow, Shen Yuan will be the one who suffers.
Shen Yuan was even willing to pay them twenty cents to help with the work.
Of course, they also hope that the sweet potatoes can be grown and if the yield is really that high, it would be a great joy.
"Look at what the village head said. Everyone knows that the people in our village are very united and there are not many troublemakers. These sweet potatoes are now the hope of our entire village."
Someone in the crowd shouted, and everyone echoed.
"Okay, all of you go back. If you have nothing to do, store more water and fill up the village pond every day. I think the water in the river will dry up if it continues like this."
Liu Daping was worried.
But there are rumors that it will rain in late June, I hope it is true.
Hearing what the head of the village said, everyone sighed helplessly.
Suddenly I felt that these sweet potatoes really had to be grown.
Naturally, my uncle's family all came to work today.
They had no objection to Shen Yuan growing sweet potatoes and were very supportive.
Shen Yuan is willing to give the sweet potatoes to everyone to plant after they are ripe. They feel that they are worthy of being the Shen family's seeds and are responsible.
Having lived in Daliushu Village all my life, I cannot say that there are no people in Daliushu Village who are confused. I can only say that most of the people in Daliushu Village are very kind.
People from the three surnames and three families live in harmony and rarely engage in intrigue.
Unlike some villages, where only one surname dominates and suppresses people of other surnames everywhere.
They have feelings for Daliushu Village. Although Shen Yuan has only been back for a short time, he has also felt the enthusiasm of Daliushu Village.
A group of people began to turn the soil, working busily.
Su Wanwan also started to boil mung bean water at home and put rock sugar in it.
While the water is boiling, start preparing lunch.
You have worked hard today, so you have to eat better.
