Chapter 134 Not happy
Han Yiyi carefully looked at the details copied by Yun Xiao, and found out that Aunt Zhang's family actually wanted to plant four acres of peppers. This meant that almost all the land in the family was used to plant peppers.
Han Yiyi couldn't help but look at Aunt Zhang in the crowd, and saw Aunt Zhang's shining eyes. It turned out that Han Yiyi had mentioned to Aunt Zhang before that she wanted to plant peppers during the New Year.
Although Aunt Zhang was happy at that time, she didn't say anything. Unexpectedly, she secretly cleared all the fields at home just to grow these peppers.
Next is the village chief's family with two and a half acres, and then Aunt Wang's family with two acres. Counting it all together, the three of them have more than eight acres of land. The remaining families have one acre as much as some, and half an acre for two families together.
After checking carefully, Han Yiyi signed a contract with them and explained the planting methods.
After the contract was signed, someone asked curiously.
"Yi Yi! Is the yield of this pepper 200 kilograms per mu..."
In their opinion, if the pepper yield per mu can reach 200 jin, and Han Yiyi charges 25 wen per jin, then they can earn 5,000 wen, or 5 taels of silver, which is much better than growing crops.
Hearing this man's question, the others looked at Han Yiyi expectantly, waiting for his answer.
Before starting, Han Yiyi would buy it at 20 wen per jin, thinking that this price was more expensive than meat, and it would definitely not be a loss to grow some. Besides, except for Aunt Zhang and the village chief's families, the rest were mostly reclaimed land and some scraps, so he forgot to ask what the yield per mu was.
Hearing this question and seeing everyone looking at him expectantly, Han Yiyi didn't keep anyone in suspense and spoke directly.
"If you plant it according to the method I just taught you, I think one acre of land can produce about a thousand kilograms..."
In fact, according to Han Yiyi's previous experience, whether it is Erjingtiao or Xiaomijiao, at least one acre of land will produce 1,500 kilograms. The reason why he said 1,000 kilograms was because he was worried that he would say too much and if there was any problem in the middle, everyone would be disappointed.
However, even if Han Yiyi had underestimated the amount, one thousand kilograms was still enough to shock these villagers.
Sure enough, everyone couldn't help but gasp when they heard Han Yiyi's words. One acre of land produces one thousand kilograms. What kind of concept is that?
You know, before, they could grow 500 kilograms of grain per acre, which was considered good, and that was in a year of good weather. If they encountered a natural disaster, they would be thankful if they could get 300 kilograms.
"Girl Yiyi, are you serious? Can an acre of land really produce a thousand kilograms of peppers?"
This time, even the village chief couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Chen, of course it's true. Why would I lie to you?"
Han Yiyi said, "However, this is also a rough estimate based on the amount I planted before. The specific amount will depend on whether everyone will plant it seriously."
Hearing that one acre of land could produce over a thousand kilograms of pepper seeds, everyone's hands holding the pepper seeds seemed to tremble and they couldn't help but sigh.
"If we could really have a thousand pounds, we'd be rich."
"Yes, yes, if we can really get a thousand kilograms, we won't have to starve even if the harvest is bad this year."
Han Yiyi was very happy when she saw everyone's excitement. She knew that these people were from poor families and had been struggling for food and clothing all their lives. If she could stop them from going hungry, it would be a good thing.
However, at this time, those families who bought half an acre or an acre of pepper seeds together began to regret it. Just when they were about to ask Han Yiyi to sell them some more seeds, they heard Han Yiyi speak.
"Now that you have the seeds, go home and grow the seedlings first. If you want to plant more later, just wait until April or May, when you can plant another season of peppers. During this period, if you have nothing to do, you can also open up some wasteland, so that you can plant more crops later..."
After hearing what Han Yiyi said, everyone had no choice but to give up. The key point was that no one had any extra land, and if they reclaimed it now, they were afraid that it would delay the time for seedling cultivation.
Seeing everyone leave, the village chief turned to look at Han Yiyi, and became a little worried, so he asked.
"Girl, if it's really as you said, that pepper can produce one thousand kilograms per acre. I just roughly calculated it, so if the whole village adds up, it will be almost nineteen thousand kilograms. Such a big pepper..."
The village chief didn't say anything else, and Han Yiyi understood what he meant.
This is because she is worried that the production of peppers is too large and she cannot "eat" it all, which will cause dissatisfaction among everyone. After all, she has given them so much hope now.
Han Yiyi was just about to speak to comfort her when she heard Yun Xiao speak from the side.
"Uncle, you don't have to worry about this. Not to mention 19,000 kilograms, even if it's 190,000 kilograms, my Yun family can handle it..."
Only then did the village chief remember that he had forgotten about this person, and he nodded in response.
"Okay, okay, okay, then I feel relieved...", and then he hurriedly asked his family to start preparing for seedling cultivation.
In the Yun Mansion in Kyoto, Old Madam Yun looked at the person kneeling on the ground in front of her with a face full of anger and shouted in a low voice.
"Tell the truth, do you really want me to carry you out and break your legs before you speak..."
When Manager Liu saw that Old Madam Yun was so angry, his kneeling body couldn't help but tremble again.
There was no way. Although Old Madam Yun looked kind and rarely got angry, she was also a decisive and ruthless person when she was young. Now it concerned her beloved grandson, whom she cared about the most.
Manager Liu could imagine that if he concealed even a little bit, not only would his legs be damaged, but he might even lose his life.
It turned out that Yun Xiao had not returned home to Kyoto for the New Year, which aroused the suspicion of Old Lady Yun. Later, with the incident of Manager Wang, Old Lady Yun felt even more strange.
Now that so much time has passed, he still refuses to return to Kyoto. Old Madam Yun suspects that Yun Xiao must be in Ping'an Town, and has been bewitched by some vixen of humble status. That's why she called Manager Liu over for questioning.
However, after hearing Madam Yun's questioning, Manager Liu was a little embarrassed to answer. After all, in his opinion, Madam Han did not seduce him to come to the young master's house.
On the contrary, it was the young master himself who insisted on staying at Madam Han's house and was unwilling to come back.
Moreover, in the eyes of Manager Liu, even if the Yun family agreed to let Han Yiyi become the Yun family's young lady, given her personality, she might not be willing to enter such a wealthy and well-mannered family with so many rules...
