Yang Bao came to look for Mo Yan about the greenhouse vegetable matter.
Last year, thirty-five households that had worked with the Mo Family on greenhouse vegetables nearly all moved into spacious and bright brick houses this year. The transformation from thatched huts to brick houses took just one winter, and this tangible benefit, more than carloads of vegetables being shipped out, struck the villagers who hadn't joined the planting even harder.
Having completely missed an opportunity to get rich, they were beating their chests and stomping their feet in regret, wishing time would rewind so they could even gamble by smashing pots and selling iron if necessary.
