Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Qingming looked at the peanuts growing on the field. They were fair and fat and looked very cute!
The villager smiled and said, “Little Gu, I’ve never seen such peanuts in my life!”
“Me too! I think your peanuts are about 800 catties per acre. That’s 200 to 300 catties of oil!”
At this point, a villager immediately asked, “Little Gu, are all your peanuts used to extract oil? How much do you plan to sell your peanuts for a catty? How much is peanut oil for a catty?”
The villagers pricked up their ears to listen!
They were also curious!
Gu Qingming smiled and shook her head. “I’m not sure yet!”
“It’s not confirmed yet?” The villager asked suspiciously, “Will this peanut be set at 20 dollars per catty? 200 dollars per catty of peanut oil?”
This price was only everyone’s guess.
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I can’t be sure yet!”
The villagers were slightly disappointed!
Gu Qingming bent down and picked up the peanuts herself!
The soil used to grow peanuts needed to be softer. This was beneficial to the growth and nutrition of the peanuts.Therefore, plucking peanuts did not require much strength.
After pulling out the peanuts, she used a little strength to shake them off, and the mud was all thrown away. Then, the white and fat peanuts were revealed!
“Aiya, Little Gu, are you going to pluck the peanuts yourself?”
A villager immediately smiled and said, “Little Gu has gone to the fields to pick watermelons! Picking watermelons is a heavy job! One watermelon weighs up to 20 catties. If you pick one watermelon, you can pick four stalks of peanuts. It’s 70 to 80 catties. Little Gu can even persevere!”
“Little Gu is so young and beautiful. She’s not afraid of hardship or fatigue. How rare!”
“Little Gu, you hired so many people to work. You don’t have to do these tiring work yourself!”
“That’s right, Little Gu. You’re so delicate. How are you cut out for this kind of work?”
“A girl who looks good should be raised well and be a beautiful young lady!”
“You don’t say. Little Gu is a rich young lady!”
Many people muttered in their hearts, “Why didn’t a rich young lady come to the countryside to do such farm work?! Isn’t she exhausting herself to death?!”
The villagers did not understand Gu Qingming’s actions!
However, when other farmers could produce special crops and sell them for a high price, real farmers like them could not be envious!
Listening to these villagers mutter, Gu Qingming remained silent and just buried her head in work!
One of the villagers was very observant. She immediately said loudly, “Alright, stop talking. Hurry up and get to work!”
As he spoke, he even gestured with his eyes, saying that Gu Qingming was here and asking them to talk less and do more!
The villagers immediately understood and began to work seriously!
After Gu Qingming plucked the peanuts for a moment, her grandmother came over with the child.
As soon as she saw Gu Qingming plucking the peanuts, her heart ached and she said helplessly, “Look at you, child. It’s not like you don’t have a job. Why do you always do this?! Look at your hands. They’re red and swollen. How long have you been working?”
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Not long!”
The villager smiled and said, “It hasn’t been long. It’s been almost an hour! Little Gu, you’re so tender. It’s better not to do such work! Look at your hand. It’s already turned into a steamed bun. Doesn’t it hurt?”
Grandma Shi’s heart ached as she said, “How can it not hurt! This child can swell up and cry after being pricked by the fur of a pumpkin seedling!”
Gu Qingming was speechless at Grandma Shi’s exaggeration..
