"Why would you need to buy it?" Land Officer Yang waved his hand, "We have it at home, itās been stored since we harvested it last year. You can just use it to plant."
"I canāt do that. Grandma and you grew it bit by bit. I canāt just use it." Yang Chuxia laughed and said, "But since you have it, I wonāt look elsewhere. Iāll buy it from your family later. By the way, how much do you have?"
"Why, are you planning to plant beans in so much land?"
"Not really, there are so many acres. I plan to plant some green beans and some corn. In the fall, I also want to plant some peas." Yang Chuxia said, "My family has a shop now, right? We can use these things in the shop. Itās better to grow them ourselves than buying raw materials. Plus, Iām thinking about expanding our shop to the county soon, and then I can buy the crops grown by the villagers."
Land Officer Yang listened and muttered, "Youāre getting bigger and bigger in the business. But with your family doing this business in our village, the villagers are fortunate as they can make money even during the idle farming season."
"Our village is so poor, just look at why Ms. Li Junior is calculating such small things. Being shortsighted is one reason, but a bigger reason is poverty." Yang Chuxia said. If it were an ordinary wealthy family, they wouldnāt care about these small things at all.
"Youāre right, itās because of poverty." Land Officer Yang still agreed with this.
After Yang Chuxia and Land Officer Yang finished talking about serious matters, he stayed for a little while before leaving, asking Yang Chuxia to find time to get the bean seeds.
Ye Ziāan, who had just returned from the town, suddenly said, "Xiaxia, what should I plant in my land?"
"Hey, when did you come back? I didnāt even see you." Ye Ziāan had gone to the town early in the morning. Yang Chuxia thought he would only be back in the evening. She didnāt expect him to arrive so soon.
"I came back and saw you chatting with Land Officer Yang. So I went to the courtyard over there, then walked around to this courtyard to wash my hands." Ye Ziāan explained.
Yang Chuxia nodded and said, "For your land, I plan to have you plant some sunflower seeds. They can grow anywhere, and our place is no exception. Itās still not too late to plant them now."
Ye Ziāan asked, "Plant sunflower seeds only?"
"Of course not. Plant some of them, and leave some land for sweet potatoes or potatoes."
Yang Chuxia said, "Iāll tell my dad about this later, and let him take care of it. I barely know about these crops. As for the sunflower seeds, Iāll buy them later."
Hehe, Yang Chuxiaās meticulous planning made Ye Ziāan smirk. He looked foolishly happy.
"Why are you laughing so stupidly?" Yang Chuxia glanced at him, "Be serious, maintain your usual cold and indifferent image, and always wear a face that says āidle people, do not approach meā."
Upon hearing that, Ye Ziāanās face went black. However, when he saw someone coming from outside, he instantly hid his smile, which startled the newcomer, who thought this young man disliked him or something from the serious face.
The visitor was none other than Shopkeeper Li.
"Xiaxia!"
"Yo, Uncle Li, what brings you here?" Yang Chuxia saw Shopkeeper Li coming and quickly went to greet him, with Ye Ziāan also following beside her.
"Iām here on behalf of my boss." Shopkeeper Li said, "Isnāt it almost time to marinate Drunken Crabs? My boss asked me to tell you that we need to make sure to prepare more Drunken Crabs and Drunken Shrimps this year. The boss has already prepared everything on his end in the prefecture. He went to the Capital City a few days ago and said he would make arrangements there, so when the time comes, weāll be shipping Drunken Crabs and Drunken Shrimps to the Capital City. Also, we need the two types of sauces."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia was very delighted. The more she made, the more she earned, and the more people she could employ. Her family would become wealthier, and the living conditions of the villagers would also improve continuously.
