Chapter 116 Building a House(1)_1
No matter what these people thought, Mo Yan had already decided to end the vegetable business in mid-March and focus on the new house. Meanwhile, the three barren hills she had asked Yang Bao to purchase last month also needed to be developed as soon as possible, to plant fruit trees before the scorching summer arrived.
The others still didn’t know about the Mo Family’s plan to plant fruit trees on the barren hills. Seeing Mo Yan resolute in not continuing the vegetable business, those with an entrepreneurial spirit stepped forward, saying to Mo Yan, "Little boss, my family also has a few acres of barren land. As you know, barren land needs to be cultivated before it can yield crops. My father-in-law is planning to grow vegetables, also using greenhouses. Do you think this will work?"
The speaker was a middle-aged woman known as Aunt Cai, who helped the Mo Family sell vegetables at the Southern Market. She was very straightforward and efficient in her work.
Mo Yan had a good impression of her and kindly advised, "It’s not impossible, but growing vegetables now to harvest in the summer—by that time, the streets will be full of vegetable sellers, and you might not get a good price. If you really want to improve the land, it would be better to plant soybeans or mung beans, which are much more reliable than vegetables."
Aunt Cai thought about it and felt it made sense. Her family had seen how much money the Mo Family made from growing vegetables and wanted to follow suit. However, the little boss’s concerns were also her worries. It seemed that when she returned home, she would have to remind her father-in-law and the others, so that they wouldn’t end up with unsellable crops that would just rot in the fields.
"Aunt Cai, are there other families in the village who want to grow vegetables?"
Mo Yan was concerned about this matter. Since Aunt Cai’s family wanted to grow vegetables, others might too. If the villagers of Liu Yang Village decided to follow the trend and grow vegetables at this time, and if the vegetables couldn’t be sold, it would be a disaster. Those with a meaner streak might even blame the Mo Family.
Aunt Cai said, "Plenty of them. Growing vegetables is quicker than growing grains. Many people saw your family making money and want to give it a try."
Mo Yan frowned, feeling it was necessary to clarify things to avoid people coming to her home looking for trouble later.
