Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 459 Composting Controversy

The village chief picked up the knives on the ground and put them away, then walked up to An Yue.

An Yue handed him the oil paper bag and said, "Uncle, this is the cake I just made. Please try it and see if it tastes good."

The village chief took it with both hands and asked curiously, "Cake? What is cake?"

Qin smiled and waved her hands: "This is the cake that Yue girl just developed. It tastes really delicious."

"Oh? Really?" The village chief was a little bit unbelieving, but opened the oil paper package with great anticipation.

Qin smiled smugly and said, "Huairen, don't disbelieve me, I have tasted it just now."

The village chief tried a bite and was immediately surprised and said, "It's delicious, really delicious."

Qin watched her husband eating with an intoxicated look on his face.

She walked forward with a wicked smile: "Well, as long as you think it tastes good, that's right! Come on, give it to me and put it away first."

After she finished speaking, she quickly snatched the cake from her husband's hand.

The village chief stared at the cake in his hand, which was snatched away by his wife.

He licked the corner of his mouth with a feeling of unsatisfied feeling, and said aggrievedly: "Ahui, what are you doing! I haven't eaten enough of the cake Yueyue gave me."

Qin put the cake back into the oil paper, wrapped it and tied it up, and rolled her eyes at him.

He said, "You, you only know how to eat. Yue girl came with me to discuss making fertilizer with you."

When the village chief heard that we were here to discuss fertilizer, he immediately became alert.

"Fertilizer? Does Yue have any good ideas?"

An Yue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and briefly explained the composting method to the village chief, with Qin occasionally supplementing her comments.

The village chief nodded as he listened, and he agreed: "Girl, this idea is very good. For us villagers, we only need to put in a little effort to get fertilizer."

The more the village chief thought about it, the more excited he became. He rubbed his palms together and said, "Good, very good, very good!"

Qin also echoed, "That's right. Yueyue had a bumper harvest last year using this method. If every household in our village uses this method, the crops they grow will surely have a bumper harvest."

An Yue said modestly: "Uncles and aunts, I just happened to try it out. If this method can help everyone live a good life together, I will be very happy."

After thinking for a moment, the village chief said happily: "Is Yueyue free now?"

"Yes, yes, yes. I stayed at home today and had been planning to discuss this matter with my uncle."

"Then let's call a meeting of the villagers now, and Yueyue will tell the villagers this method in person, so that everyone can act quickly."

An Yue nodded slightly and replied, "No problem, I'm free all day today."

After saying this, the village chief took down the bronze gong hanging on the wall, turned to An Yue and said, "Yueyue, wait here. I will go and notify the villagers to hold a village meeting."

......

Half an hour passed.

The villagers rushed to the west end of the village, all of them curious about why the village chief called an emergency village meeting.

Everyone gathered in an open area at the west end of the village, gathering in groups of three or five.

The village chief stood on the hill, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Fellow villagers, I called you all here today because I have good news to tell you."

The villagers standing in the audience looked at each other, waiting expectantly for the village chief to continue.

"Yue Yatou has found a way to make fertilizer that will give our crops a good harvest."

The villagers were all very excited when they heard this. The elder standing in the front asked, "What is the solution? Tell us quickly."

The village chief nodded to An Yue and walked forward.

An Yue stepped forward and calmly explained the composting method to the villagers in detail.

......

All the villagers listened attentively and seriously.

Just at this moment, Qian Laosan, a well-known lazy man in the village, stepped forward.

He waved his hand with disdain and questioned: "Little girl, who are you trying to fool? You said your method can be used to make fertilizer, but I don't believe it!"

"All of us farmers know that the best fertilizer is the feces of poultry and livestock."

When Li Wu's wife, who was standing nearby, heard this, she stood up and laughed at Qian Lao San with a look of disdain.

"You are just a lazy bastard Qian Lao San, and you still dare to call yourself a farmer! You are really going to make us laugh!"

Li Ergou also joked: "In the past, I, Li Ergou, would never believe it. But Yueyue has helped us many times, and this is a fact that we all have witnessed."

"Besides, I heard from the village chief that Yueyue's corn had a bumper harvest last year! They used this composting method to grow corn with large and full kernels."

Li Wu's wife said angrily: "That's right! If we don't trust Yueyue, how can we trust you, a lazy rascal!"

At this time, another man stepped forward with a proud look on his face, patting his chest and saying, "That's right! Yueyue has been working hard for everyone's benefit, but you still don't know how to appreciate it! I think you are a lazy pig that can't swallow fine bran."

Then, a group of men and women in the audience echoed loudly: "Yes! We believe in Yueyue."

An Yue raised her hand with relief and said, "As long as everyone believes it, the court and the government will give us tax exemptions this year, so let's work hard together to grow crops well, and we won't have to go hungry every year in the future."

A woman nodded and smiled: "Yueyue is right. Our current county magistrate is an honest official. Good days are waiting for us in the future."

A man in the front turned around, spread his hands and laughed to the people behind him: "Haha, as long as we make this compost, we don't have to worry about the crops in the field not growing."

An Yue raised her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and added: "Having said that, this compost bar will also vary from person to person."

"The composting situation of each of your families will be different. This method is just something I experimented with last year."

Then he added: "If you have any questions, feel free to ask now."

The man standing in front asked, "How long does it take to turn the compost?"

An Yue quickly replied: "If the temperature is high, turn it over once every half a month. If the temperature is low, turn it over once every two months."

The villagers all applauded. An elderly woman with a cane stood up and thanked An Yue, saying, "Girl, you are truly the living Bodhisattva of our village!"

Then, the old woman bowed to Anyue while speaking: "Thank you, thank you, thank you so much."

Seeing the old woman like this, An Yue said uncomfortably: "Grandma, you must not do this. This is embarrassing for me, a junior."

Qin also echoed, "Yueyue, everyone really wants to thank you!"

All the villagers off the field smiled and said to An Yue: "Thank you, Yueyue."

Then, everyone started discussing composting among themselves.
