What's worth mentioning is that during this period of time, Zhang Butou, who was relatively free, came to Gu Ziyi's side to show his presence when he had nothing to do.

Soon the patriarch and his wife understood what Zhang Butou meant.

But as long as he doesn't stay overnight, he doesn't need to be forced, and no one interferes with their affairs.

However, Gu Chengye and his wife finally built two huts at the foot of the mountain because of the reconstruction of the mother and mother. They sold tea and incense. The business was not big, but it was quite prosperous.

On this day, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui were cutting sweet potato vines in the field. The village chief came over and said, "Hey, are you starting now?"

"Not much, harvest early." Gu Chengrui got up and asked, "I heard that Grandpa Qian's family didn't grow less sweet potatoes this year?"

"No, one year's ration means that this sweet potato can fill you up." The village head smiled, and then continued: "I came here today to buy some beef from you, and harvesting sweet potatoes is also a laborious job, so I have to make up for it anyway. no."

"That's no problem. Tomorrow morning, I'll ask someone to bring half a cow over to sell. If someone wants it, just go to the entrance of the village to buy it."

"Okay, then it's settled, you guys are busy first." After the village chief finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhou Ying hurriedly stopped him and said, "Grandpa Qian, we also accept sweet potatoes. If you don't want them, remember to keep them with us."

"No problem, I will give you more than half."

After harvesting the sweet potatoes in the evening, Zhou Ying went to cook.

Gu Chengrui went around the village, talked about the beef coming tomorrow, and also mentioned the collection of sweet potatoes.

The situation this time is different from last year, but many people promised to sell sweet potatoes.

As soon as the meat arrived the next day, people also completely started to put away the sweet potatoes.

And Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui, after drying the sweet potatoes, directly pulled the sweet potatoes at home to the Zhuangzi, and then began to collect the sweet potatoes from the Zhuangzi together.

Because the planting time is different, the harvest is one month.

After collecting all of them, County Magistrate Kong collected the excess and distributed them to places with few sweet potato seeds.

After the thorough work was over, the river transportation officially started, and the first ones to come were those who went to the villages to collect sweet potatoes.

However, except for the households in Shanghe Village who sell some, other families would rather sell their sons and daughters than sweet potatoes after the devastation of the famine years.

Instead, Zhou Ying took the opportunity and sold a batch of cattle and sheep.

As soon as the money was collected, before it was warmed up, Father Gu came to borrow the money.

Gu Chengrui looked up at him and said, "Dad, do you want to buy a boat?"

"Yes, now that all businesses are booming, it's time to attract customers, so I want to take this opportunity to grab some customers first." Father Gu nodded.

Then he hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course, you can join if you want."

After the husband and wife looked at each other, Gu Chengrui shook his head and said, "We don't know anything about shipping, so we won't get involved.

But although we are father and son, since you are borrowing money for business, you have to leave me an IOU. "

Father Gu was stunned for a moment and said, "That's no problem, and I'll give you a third of the interest when I pay back the money."

"Forget it, just return it to us when you have enough money."

"That's no problem, do you have a pen and paper here?"

"Yes, wait a minute." After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he took a pen and paper and asked him to write an IOU. After pressing his fingerprints, he borrowed them twenty taels of silver.

After sending him back, Gu Chengrui said: "I hope they can have a smooth ride this time, otherwise the twenty taels of silver will be in vain."
