Apart from Zhao Zhan, all the other families in Willow Village had the surname Yang.
Li Miao’s land was connected to Zhao Zhan’s.
Yang Dashan was a simple and honest man. These days, when Zhao Zhan was busy with farming, he would help out when they met. Now that he was tired, he squatted on the ground and stared at Li Miao’s family.
“Dashan,” Zhao Zhan picked up all the sprouts along with their roots and soil, as he had done a few days ago. He looked at Yang Dashan and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Yang Dashan had been holding it in for several days. At this time, seeing that there was no one around, he finally couldn’t help it. “Zhao Zhan, what exactly are you planting in your field? I’ve been thinking about it for a few days, but I still can’t figure out what it is. ”
Zhao Zhan had been waiting for him to ask this question. When he heard his question, Zhao Zhan put the things aside and squatted down beside him. “Dashan, I’ve been growing rare things in my field. They are called soybeans and millet peppers. These seeds were brought by my wife with the dowry.”
The excuse for the dowry was something that Yue Jiaojiao and Zhao Zhan had pre-planned. After all, this was a type of seed that the village had never seen before. Besides, the place where he found these two things was quite deep in the mountains. No one in the village dared to go deep into the mountains except him.
During this period of time, he had also taken some time to look around the periphery of the mountain, but he did not find any more soybeans or chilies.
By saying that it was a dowry, he could avoid the villagers saying that he had found something valuable and not tell others so he could make more money for himself in the future.
However, Yue Jiaojiao was sure that it would not happen. If they asked others to plant it with them now, no one in Willow Village would be willing to do so. When others see the benefits of this thing, only then would they take the initiative to come to them without asking for more.
However, now, if someone trusted them and was willing to follow them, it would be a pleasant surprise.
Since he wanted to make a fortune to make delicacies like tofu, he would be willing to produce the raw materials himself to cut on costs.
Zhao Zhan took out the two kinds of seedlings and pointed them out to Yang Dashan,”You have been helping with the work in the field recently. My wife wanted to invite you to dinner tonight and asked you to bring your plus one along. She chatted with her last time and wanted to get to know her more.”
“Why are you being so polite with me? We’re all here to help each other out, is that not enough? Besides, it’s all thanks to your amazing cooking skills that pleased the people when I got married. Otherwise, how could so many people praise me for my meatless banquet?”
“Dashan, please help me. My thatched house hasn’t been repaired since it collapsed in the rain. I’ve been letting my wife live in the mountains in that condition. She hasn’t seen the village for so long. I’m afraid she’ll be lonely at home all day.”
“Just treat it as our wives meeting each other. In the future, my wife will just have one more person to talk to, right?”
Yang Dashan was a man who doted on his wife, but at this time, he had to praise Zhao Zhan for being considerate as well. What’s more, he was also thinking about the soybean and peppers. He would take the opportunity to ask him about it during dinner.
“Alright, I’ll bring my wife along before it gets dark.”
“I’ll head on back first then. See you soon.”
Zhao Zhan laughed heartily, then stood up and dusted off the soil on his body.”I’ll go and finish planting these seedlings first on these two fields.”
“I’ll give you a hand.”
Yang Dashan also stood up and went to help Zhao Zhan.
