Xiaoloong, you're right, your dad is right, planting vegetables is really not an easy job, and in our village, no matter how many plants there are, they will be enough for our family to eat. Who would have the money to eat fresh vegetables all day long? As Liu Mei spoke, her gaze landed on the corn. She was really reluctant to part with it since she had never tasted such delicious porridge before.
”You still don't understand what I'm talking about. I not only want to plant, but I also want to grow bigger, so I'll grow all the vegetables in our house, and we can sell them in the city if we can't finish all of them. As long as our food is good, we won't need to worry about buyers, and when the time comes, we don't need to get up early to go to the market.” Zhang Xiaoloong chuckled.
”No way!”
He looked at his son and sighed: ”Xiaoloong, you said that your brain needs a rest, so let's rest well. Since your family doesn't expect you to make much money, if you want to grow vegetables, I won't stop you, but you have to turn all the land in your family into vegetables, that won't do. If you don't make money by then, my family will eat vegetable porridge everyday, no? What about your college tuition next year? I would never agree to that. ”
”This …” Zhang Xiaoloong saw his father was so determined, so he looked towards his mother.
Unexpectedly, Liu Mei, who had always been protecting him, also shook her head, ”Your father is right. If you want to do it, mother will support you, but if you want to take all the land in the family, that would be too risky. ”Just one mu of food should be enough for you. For this year, rest well and don't think about anything else.”
”Cough, cough …” Zhang Xiaoloong choked and coughed, ”One mu of land? That... ”It's too little!”
His mind was filled with the teachings of Shen Nong's throughout his life, and he was thinking of expanding these things. On one hand, he could make the whole village rich, and on the other hand, he could earn enough money for this year so that his parents wouldn't have to work so hard in the future.
However, with only an acre of land, how much money could he earn unless he grew gold?
”If you can earn money for one mu of land, I'll give you five mu of corn field.” Only then did Zhang Daniu relent.
”Alright,” Zhang Xiaoloong thought about it for a moment and immediately agreed. ”One mu for one mu. Then I'll go to the city tomorrow to buy something. First, give me five thousand yuan.”
”Five thousand?” Zhang Daniu stared with his eyes wide open, ”What are you trying to buy? Even if Mr. Wang grew vegetables for a year, he might not be able to earn five thousand yuan. It's not even the beginning, why is he using so much money?”
If you want to plant good vegetables, you must buy the best ones. This is Little Tidemark, and it's going to get cold soon. You have to build up the greenhouse to keep it warm, or else you won't be able to cook in winter. Zhang Xiaoloong already knew that the other party would ask this question, so he quickly explained.
”That can't even be five thousand dollars, can it?” Zhang Daniu was a bit confused, ”We have never seen a big shed before. Isn't it just a few bamboos, the whole piece of plastic cloth? It won't cost much. ”
”The one you're talking about is a simple big tent. I want to use glass to cover it, like this …” Zhang Xiaoloong described his idea.
”Isn't this trying to harm money?” Zhang Daniu was confused and finally shook his head. He felt like it was a waste.
”Then I don't need my family's money, I'll think of another way to get it.” Zhang Xiaoloong rubbed his temples awkwardly with both hands, ”Oh my, my head hurts a little …”
”You old bastard, you didn't even look at your child and you're in such a difficult situation. Where are you going to get the money from him? What if his brain was damaged? Are you going to keep that money for yourself? ” Liu Mei instantly disagreed and yelled at Zhang Daniu.
”Give it to me. Can't I give it to you?” Zhang Daniu said helplessly.
Zhang Xiaoloong snickered. It seemed that this trick is quite useful.
