Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

The old man with gray hair knew that the tomatoes were worth the price after tasting them, but he was reluctant to spend the money.

After all, tomatoes only cost three cents a pound at the market.

Wan Ping An sells them for 50 cents each.

too expensive!

Wan Ping'an nodded.

The old man immediately went home and brought back some cucumber seeds.

Wan Pingan checked it; it's a good seed.

The old man said that he had kept too many last year and couldn't bear to throw them away, so he planned to sell them.

Ping An gave him two tomatoes.

"I have cured wild boar meat, can I trade it for it?"

A woman in her thirties glared at her son, who was clinging to her leg and demanding tomatoes.

"It can be exchanged!"

Wan Ping'an nodded.

The woman quickly took out a piece of cured meat, which weighed more than two pounds.

Wan Ping'an gave him five tomatoes.

Her five- or six-year-old son jumped for joy, shouting as he ate that tomatoes were much tastier than meat and that he would eat tomatoes from now on.

Jia family.

Jia Zhangshi stood at her doorstep, glaring at Wan Ping'an, whose business was booming.

"You little beast, you really are a little beast."

"How does he manage to grow such delicious tomatoes?"

"If our family could grow it, we would definitely become the richest family in the courtyard."

Jia Zhangshi gritted her teeth.

"Jia Dongxu, you're really useless."

"I told you to steal some tomatoes, and you got caught! Aren't you useless?"

Jia Zhangshi remembered the eighty yuan she had given away, felt a pang of heartache, turned her head, and cursed Jia Dongxu fiercely.

Jia Dongxu lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

He and his father, Jia Gensheng, were used to the fact that at home, Jia Zhangshi was the empress, and they could only submit to her or face ruthless oppression.

soon.

The tomatoes that Wan Ping'an brought back were all replaced.

The harvest yielded fourteen yuan, more than ten kinds of seeds, eight jin of cured meat, and more than ten chicks.

If the tomatoes hadn't sold out, there would have been more of these.

"Don't worry, everyone, there are still plenty of tomatoes."

"I'll bring back a few more by this time tomorrow. If you want to trade, you can come find me."

Wan Ping'an reassured those who still wanted to exchange the tomatoes.

"Ping An, you're selling them way too fast!"

"Here's the money. Save me ten tomatoes tomorrow."

Xu Damao returned late and watched helplessly as Wan Ping'an handed the last tomato to a child.

"No problem, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow."

Wan Ping'an accepted the five yuan that Xu Damao handed over.

As Jia Zhangshi watched Wan Ping'an accept money and gifts, her eyes turned red.

Wan Ping'an carried the large pile of things he had acquired back home.

"We can keep the money and leave the things at home, but what about these chicks?"

"If there is no one to take care of them, they will surely starve to death."

"I've got it. Take it to Cai Quanwu and let him think of a solution."

Wan Pingyang glanced at the sky; it wasn't dark yet.

He borrowed a box, put the chicks in it, and made his money back on his six acres of land.

When I arrived at the location, I saw Cai Quanwu inspecting the six acres of land, doing his job very diligently.

"Here you go, Lao Cai, this is a reward for catching the thief."

Wan Ping'an took out five yuan.

He is a very generous boss as long as his employees are loyal to him.

He eats meat, and his employees are guaranteed to have meat broth.

"this..."

Cai Quanwu's eyes lit up.

Wan Ping'an immediately rewarded him with a month's salary.

"Take it, this is what you deserve."

Wan Ping'an directly handed it to Cai Quanwu.

Cai Quanwu was very moved.

"By the way, look, I got some chicks in exchange. Do you have any ideas about what to do with them?"

Wan Pingan inquired.

"Only a dozen or so, not many."

"Put them directly on the ground and let them eat the small insects."

Cai Quanwu glanced at the dozen or so chicks and casually suggested a solution.

"The quantity is small, so it can be taken care of in any way, and it's not much trouble."

"If you want to keep more, you can't. You have to find someone to take care of them. Otherwise, they are easy to lose or be carried away by weasels."

Cai Quanwu had no idea what Wan Ping'an was planning.

Wan Ping'an nodded.

Since the number is small for now, we will follow Cai Quanwu's suggestion and let them graze freely.

Ask Cai Quanwu to take care of him while he's at it.

“Ping An, six mu of land, it’s not a lot, but it’s not a small amount either. I can take care of it by myself, and it’s fine most of the time, but it’s not good during harvest season.”

"Look at these tomatoes and rice, they look so tempting, someone is definitely up to no good."

"There will definitely be more thieves like Jia Dongxu."

"I suggest finding a dog, preferably a fierce one, to scare away thieves, especially at night, where a dog is more effective than a person."

Cai Quanwu made a suggestion.

Wan Ping'an nodded.

The next morning, when there were no vegetables left, they brought in a big dog that looked fierce and powerful.

If Jia Dongxu saw this, he would definitely be terrified.

Wan Ping'an took the tomatoes back to the courtyard house to continue selling them.

Today's harvest was even greater; people in the neighboring compound, and even those living further away, all knew about the amazing tomatoes and came over to try them.

Jia Zhangshi has developed conjunctivitis.

His eyes were red!

"They've brought in over forty chicks. Cai Quanwu has to watch over the land and take care of the chicks. Can he manage?"

Chapter 21: Yi Zhonghai Hates Me, Planting New Crops

Wan Ping'an brought more than forty chicks to his six acres of land.

Next to the thatched hut where all the vegetables were gone, another small thatched hut appeared. Cai Quanwu was herding a group of chicks back into the hut, which turned out to be a chicken coop.

"From the current perspective, Cai Quanwu is very trustworthy."

"As I develop my business in the future, I won't be able to do everything myself. I need a trustworthy subordinate, and Cai Quanwu is very trustworthy at the moment."

"Observe him further. If he passes the evaluation, we will focus on training him."

Wan Ping'an nodded.

He was very satisfied with Cai Quanwu.

Wang Wang!
