Chapter 166

Lu Jiao didn't persuade them to raise more, although raising leeches to make money involves a lot of risks, so don't blame her for raising them to death in the end.

Lu Jiao looked at the village head and the patriarch thoughtfully and said, "Let's raise less in the first year. Besides the risk is too high, where do you get the leeches? It's better to breed them in the first year."

After hearing Lu Jiao's words, the village chief and patriarch immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, how much do you think it is appropriate to raise Yun Jin's daughter-in-law."

"Try ten acres first."

Ten acres is completely accepted by everyone, and everyone in the room nodded.

Lu Jiao looked at the people in the room and said, "Before raising leeches, I would like to say a few things first. First, I will teach my second brother the technique of raising leeches, and he will take full responsibility for raising leeches."

The village chief and patriarch didn't object: "Okay, but I'm afraid Er Zhu can't handle it all by himself?"

Lu Jiao nodded: "Second brother can assign the work in hand to a few people, but the choice is up to the second brother, he is the general manager, the reason why the second brother is in charge of this matter is because I thought that the leech raising It’s not something that can be raised in a day or two. You say that I’m a woman, and I always meet the men in the village. If I know it, I teach them how to raise leeches. If I don’t know, I don’t know what I will say.”

Upon hearing this, the village head and patriarch realized that this was indeed the case.

Lu Jiao didn't wait for the village head and the patriarch to speak, and continued: "Raising leeches is a long process, and there are still many things to ask me later. The second brother came to ask me for advice. As a family, no one gossips. But it’s not appropriate for others to come.”

Lu Jiaoyi said, the village head and patriarch nodded understandingly, they taught them to grow leeches, so they don't end up making a fuss, they know how smelly the mouths of those old women in the village are.

"Okay, but can Erzhu learn it?"

The village head was mainly worried that Xie Erzhu would not be able to learn.

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "It's not difficult to raise leeches. He is already a good farmer, so why can't he learn it? Don't worry about the village chief and patriarch."

The village chief and patriarch nodded repeatedly after hearing Lu Jiao's words, and Lu Jiao continued.

"Don't worry about the village head and the patriarch. I will tell my second brother that in the future this skill will be the handicraft of the people surnamed Xie. One day he has enough to raise and doesn't want to raise it anymore, or when he gets old, he will pass on this skill to Xie. The family name will be passed down from generation to generation.”

The village chief and patriarch finally laughed after hearing this, as long as Lu Jiao said this.

"Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, you said before that Baohetang will buy leeches. Should we go and talk to that owner? If we can sign a contract with them, the villagers will feel relieved."

Lu Jiao nodded: "Okay, the village head and patriarch should go to that Zhao Dong's family, I believe he will have a good talk with you."

As long as Zhao Lingfeng is not stupid, he will know that this is a good thing.

After the pharmacy is opened, a lot of medicinal materials are needed, so he should encourage the villagers in each village to grow medicinal materials.

But as soon as Lu Jiao finished speaking, the village head and patriarch looked at her with a smile and said, "Daughter-in-law Yun Jin, why don't you take us to talk with the owner of Baohetang?"

"Yeah, we feel scared when we see those people, and we don't know how to talk about it. Why don't you take us to talk about it."

Before Lu Jiao could speak, Xie Yunjin on one side frowned. He really wanted to tell him to talk, but he held back when he saw his legs. He couldn't walk right now.

Lu Jiao didn't refuse, it happened that she was going to go shopping in the town tomorrow, and it would be fine to accompany the village head and patriarch.

"Okay, I just want to go shopping in the town tomorrow morning, and the village head and patriarch should go with me."

The village chief and patriarch laughed and nodded repeatedly: "Then let's go together tomorrow."

Lu Jiao nodded, and said to them: "If the negotiation is concluded tomorrow, the village chief will gather people to start hunting the leeches, and then dig a place and lay stones to form a pond to raise the leeches temporarily."

"Okay," the village chief made a final decision on this matter, and then everyone left happily.

Behind Lu Jiao was about to get up and go out, but Xie Yunjin suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand.

Lu Jiao was startled, and turned to look at Xie Yunjin, only to see him looking at her with shining eyes, and said softly, "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be kind to my second brother."

Originally, Lu Jiao could directly select a few villagers to come out and learn how to raise leeches with his second brother, but in that case, it would be Lu Jiao, not his second brother, who would be grateful.

Lu Jiao gave his second brother the opportunity to be kind. In this way, his second brother's status in Xiejia Village will not be too low in the future, and his life will not be too sad in the future.

If others don't understand, how can Xie Yunjin not understand, because he understands, so he is grateful for her efforts.

At the same time, he has a deeper understanding of Lu Jiao's feelings for him, and he will treat her well.

Lu Jiao did have the heart to ask Xie Erzhu to thank her, but she did it because Xie Erzhu was honest and kind-hearted.

But Xie Yunjin's expression, isn't it too moved, as for?

Lu Jiao smiled and said, "It's okay, a good person like Second Brother should be rewarded."

Xie Yunjin's eyes darkened a little, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he was happy in his heart, obviously because of him, he had to say it so righteously.

Xie Yunjin thought to herself, but did not let go of Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao looked at this man with a strange face. She remembered that not long ago he was afraid that she would take advantage of him. Now that he is like this, is he taking advantage of her?

Lu Jiao was about to pull her hand away after thinking about it, when Xie Yunjin said again: "When my legs recover, I will do the public affairs in the future, and you don't need to do it."

Lu Jiao knew that Xie Yunjin was talking about her taking the village head and patriarch to Baohetang to talk about things.

Lu Jiao herself doesn't care, but through getting along with her these days, she knows that Xie Yunjin is a bit machismo, and doesn't like women showing up in public and having too much contact with outsiders. This is probably the thinking of men in this era.

Lu Jiao didn't want to talk too much with him, anyway, the two of them who will soon be okay, what to do with so much talk.

"Let's talk about it later."

Xie Yunjin raised her eyes to look at Lu Jiao. During this time, he could see clearly that this woman is very straightforward but kind-hearted, and she is proficient in medical skills. She will not stay at home all day in the future, and he will not stop her from doing so. She, but after his leg recovers, if she sees a doctor or something, he will go with her.

Xie Yunjin thought about it, he was in a good mood, his brows were pure and twinkling.

Lu Jiao saw that he was holding on to half of her hand, she was a little puzzled, if she didn't know that this man was not of the nature of taking advantage of others, she would have suspected that he was taking advantage of her.

But thinking about this person's temperament, I don't think so, probably unconsciously.

Lu Jiao withdrew her hand thinking about it, got up and went out, Xie Yunjin looked at her with a smile on her face, with an indescribably happy expression.

Outside the main room, the four little ones were teaching the village children to read the Three Character Classic. Lu Jiao looked at the Dabao above teaching them to read, and a smile overflowed on her face. Seeing the cute and cute little guys, her mood was over get better.
