After receiving Xiao Mochen's affirmative reply, the village chief said loudly.

Of course, he had to say ugly things first. He knew clearly the character of the people in the village after they had lived together for decades.

There are good people and some bad people, and it is not uncommon for them to quarrel for several days over an egg.

Not to mention the wild peppers they are growing now. When they received the seeds, they signed a contract stating that they would just plant them, and all the village grocery stores would come to collect them without you having to go out to find someone to sell them.

The price is unified and can only be sold to the Lu family, and the seeds you receive are not free. One pound costs 200 Wen, and you can pay back the wild sansho pepper when it is harvested.

One acre of land requires five or six kilograms of seeds, which means that one acre of land alone costs about one tael of silver.

This is a big expense. In the past, few people in Mantou Village could afford to grow it. Fortunately, there was a mountain village grocery store, and everything on the mountain was sold.

Every household, no matter how wealthy it is, has some money saved.

Seeing that there was silence below, the village chief continued: "Everyone signed the contract at the beginning. If you let me know that there are those ungrateful people, I will not tolerate you, not to mention being jailed."

Some people had some small thoughts and casually ignored the contract at that time. The village chief's beating made those small thoughts fly away in an instant.

Who wants to leave the village? If you leave the village, you will be exterminated. Where else can you go? People who forget their ancestors will not only be bullied to death, but also be beaten to death by their underground ancestors.

The village chief was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued to smile: "The Lu family said, twenty cents per pound, which is not much good. When all the wild peppers are harvested, we will buy white flour and meat to eat, and we can still save some money."

It’s a lot of money, isn’t it?”

"yes!"

"Grandpa is right!"

"Ah ah ah, I want to eat meat!"

The village chief's grandson shouted the loudest. Grandpa said he would buy meat for him for three days.

The vigorous harvest, with truck after truck of wild peppers shipped out, made the villagers' wallets bulge a lot.

Lu Lingxi took Xiao Mochen to live in the village for three days.

They lived in the Xiao family's courtyard, and the Xiao family's green brick courtyard was maintained by someone after they left.

It didn't take three months to clean up, so I moved in.

"Fourth sister Lu, brother-in-law Lu, my grandfather said that you should stop cooking at night and come to our house to eat."

The voice of the grandson of the Lu clan elder was filled with excitement. Today's dinner was so sumptuous, even better than the Chinese New Year, with several meats and vegetables.

However, the pastries on Sister Lu's table looked so delicious. Little grandson Lu swallowed his saliva. There were so many things he had never eaten before. Next time, let his grandpa buy them for him. Hum, he would study hard, just

Like the second brother Lu, he took the first prize, rode a big horse, and became a high official.

"Okay, go slow on your way back and tell your grandpa that we will be there soon."

Lu Lingxi smiled and took the cakes on the table to the grandson of the Lu clan elder.

"No, no, no, it's time to eat soon." The grandson of the Lu clan swallowed his saliva and waved his hands with difficulty. The pastry was really delicious.

If he doesn't eat, he won't eat. The number one scholar is not greedy for cakes.

"Thank you, sister. You can eat...I will take the first prize in the exam in the future. I'm not greedy."

Lu Lingxi laughed out loud: "This is the number one scholar's favorite pastry. You are the future number one scholar. Please try it first to see if it tastes good."

"Okay, then I reluctantly accept it, thank you sister." The grandson of the Lu clan elder looked at his hand, and fortunately, he asked his mother-in-law to clean it up for him when he came.

The little fat man held the pastry in both hands and said thank you seriously.

When he caught Xiao Mochen's gaze, he almost let out a cry. My sister's husband was really bad. He became cold when he saw it and wanted to go to the toilet.

"You're scaring people." Lu Lingxi's smile hadn't disappeared yet, thinking that the young and old of the Lu clan had just met Xiao Mochen, like a mouse meeting a cat.

Xiao Mochen is very innocent. He was like this before, so he didn't scare people. It's not because he is timid.

"Our children will not be afraid of me."

"And Qian Yi isn't afraid of me either." Every time that kid saw him, he spat at him crazily.

He really disliked it. "Our children will definitely not drool like Qian Yi and look stupid."
