A Small Farmer Girl 's Story of Making a Fortune by Farming

　　"What do you think is the secret of Baiweilou that it can sell summer vegetables at this time of year?"

　　"Not only is he extremely skilled, but he also sells some vegetables at ridiculous prices. I heard that a plate of smashed cucumbers costs two hundred yuan!"

　　After hearing this, the woman next to him leaned over and echoed: "Oh my God, eating a cucumber worth two hundred yuan, can it make you a god?"

　　"I don't know if I can ascend to heaven, but it must taste good." The young wife said, raising her eyebrows: "Those nobles are very picky. After chewing on radishes and cabbages for two or three months, they suddenly have fresh vegetables. Not to mention two hundred coins for a plate of smashed cucumbers, they would be willing to spend even five taels of silver."

　　Speaking of green cucumbers, the young wife smacked her lips and wondered what green cucumbers in winter tasted like.

　　An old man with gray hair and beard was carrying a load on his shoulder and was passing by the alley entrance. He happened to hear this and stopped walking and said, "If you want to talk about people with extraordinary abilities, they are those kind of people. Being able to grow cucumbers and peppers in the cold winter, isn't that extraordinary ability?"

　　"The old man is right. I don't know who has such a great ability." The woman's eyes rolled around, she stretched her head and lowered her voice and said, "Hey, tell me, is there a family that can make this kind of food in our Anyang County?"

　　"It's unlikely. I've never heard of such a capable family in Anyang."

　　"I don't think it's possible. I haven't heard any rumors about it."

　　The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. The women at the entrance of the alley were still discussing how out-of-season vegetables tasted, while some had already left the alley and were asking about the origins of the vegetables.

　　The man asked around and spent some money, and finally found out that the off-season vegetables came from Daliu Village in Anyang County.

　　The ice and snow melted, and everything came back to life. The crops that had been left idle for the winter were turned over again, waiting to be planted soon.

　　Chen Shuang in the carriage was playing with the jade pendant in his hand, smiling, as if he was determined to win. However, he didn't expect that the carriage would be stopped as soon as it arrived at the entrance of Daliu Village.

　　"Whose relative are you?"

　　Chen Shuang lifted the curtain and frowned as he looked at the villagers who stopped the car.

　　Relatives? How could he have such poor and shabby relatives?

　　But thinking of his purpose, Chen Shuang suppressed his anger and said with a smile: "Old sir, I want to ask you something."

　　"What do you want to know?"

　　"Is there anyone in your village who can grow cucumbers and peppers in the cold winter?"

　　The villagers who stopped the car then looked at Chen Shuang carefully. After a long while, they clicked their tongues and said, "I don't think this brother is stupid. Why is he talking nonsense?"

　　"you……"

　　Chen Shuang choked, his forehead was brimming with anger. If he had something important to do, he would have to deal with this troublemaker.

　　"Old sir, people say that the off-season vegetables of Baiweilou come from your village. My Chen family also runs a restaurant, so we want to buy some off-season vegetables. Don't worry, old sir, the price I offer will be higher than that of Baiweilou."
