But forget it, just apologize like this. Everyone else in Dahe Village feels very good about this new little village chief.
A few old people even lamented privately that this little village chief is indeed a scholar, he is very particular.
Zhou Qing's journey was not in vain. He gave full play to his smiling face and shameless social function, shouting about this uncle and that aunt non-stop.
I strive to write down several families in Dahe Village and gain a basic understanding of them.
Otherwise, as a village chief, she wouldn't even be able to recognize all the people in her own village. That wouldn't be a joke.
Fortunately, Zhou Qing's efforts were not in vain. At least the villagers in Dahe Village no longer completely rejected and ignored Zhou Qing as before. There were a few brave ones who could even joke with Zhou Qing.
For example, Qian Sanniang, who I met yesterday, was able to raise her only granddaughter alone at such a time. She was not an ordinary person in any way.
There was another one who looked younger than Zhang Dajiang, called Uncle Da Shuan, and he was a hidden social cow. Zhou Qing found that no matter what she said, this Uncle Da Shuan could finish two sentences without making you think that he was.
Pretending to understand if you don’t understand.
Zhou Qing was quite surprised. In her eyes, Uncle Shuan was a special talent.
Now that she has decided to be the village chief, she will work hard to shoulder her responsibilities, and she also wants to try to lead Dahe Village to become rich and well-off collectively through her own efforts.
So this time she entered the county, she also had another purpose, which was to examine the supply and demand in the county and dig out the first pot of gold in Dahe Village.
For small villages, drawing on the experience of previous lives, the collective economy is the best choice. It can bring everyone in Dahe Village closer to a community of interests, which can also ensure safety to the greatest extent.
In ancient times, the most important thing for ordinary people was food, clothing, housing and transportation. Zhou Qing did not have the capital to do the last three, and the only thing that could make a difference was food.
After thinking about the geographical location of Dahe Village, it is close to Baihe River. The land is considered fertile. If you can grow something, vegetables or crops that mature quickly, maybe it can be done.
Zhou Qing was thinking quietly in his heart.
When we arrived outside Xishan County, we found that the county was also quite depressed, with not many shops open and not many people on the streets.
But at least there is a shop open.
When he got closer, he saw that it was a grain store with a lot of people queuing up. Zhou Qing looked closely at the sign at the door, which read the price of grain, 800 yuan for one stone of grain.
This should be an officially opened food store, otherwise the price of food would not be so cheap. She clearly remembered that the price of food before was almost as high as two taels of silver per stone.
It should be that the imperial court is using this method to stabilize food prices.
Zhou Qing decisively informed the people in Dahe Village and joined the queue.
Because no one jumped in line, or perhaps because the villages below had not received the news, it was soon the turn of Zhou Qing and his party.
Zhou Qing calculated her rations and bought half a stone of grain for 400 Wen, which was enough for her to eat alone for several months. Zhou Qing's sharp eyes also saw that there was salt for sale in the grain store, so she quickly bought some
, she didn’t buy much, only half a bushel of salt, but it cost her 200 Wen, which made Zhou Qing’s body hurt. This salt is really expensive, and it doesn’t matter that there were so few people making pickles in ancient times that they couldn’t afford the salt.
Ah. Quickly and carefully put away the salt.
Fortunately, she has gained it through so many years of experience, and her strength is not the least bit strong. Food and salt, not counting the things she will buy later, otherwise she really wouldn't be able to lift it.
When everyone in Dahe Village had finished buying grain, everyone was smiling. Looking at the smiles on their faces, they should have hope for life after the war, especially the fact that they bought low-priced grain.
was very touched.
Since Zhou Qing had to buy some other things, everyone in the village also wanted to go shopping, so they separated for the time being.
Carrying half a stone of grain, Zhou Qing walked around the county town and found that the county town was also in a state of waste and waiting for development.
There is an urgent shortage of all kinds of daily necessities, including meat, vegetables, eggs, and fish. Because you can't buy them even if you want to, the prices are extremely high.
She had an idea in mind. For her, it was basically impossible to get meat and eggs. She couldn't even sell chickens and ducks, and she was told that they were eggs. She gave up for the time being and growing vegetables seemed to be her best choice now.
I decided to buy vegetables and grow them back home.
With some calculations in his mind, Zhou Qing still bought what he needed. Not to mention pots and pans, he would definitely have to do it himself in the future. He also had to buy the necessary seasonings. He already had salt, sugar,
Soy sauce and cooking wine are indispensable. She also wants to get a hoe, sickle, kitchen knife and so on.
She bought it for a fortune and spent a couple of dollars on it, but it was all worth it. At least in this way, her house was almost complete.
Next is the most important vegetable species.
When walking around just now, Zhou Qing saw more than one vegetable shop.
I feel it is necessary to do some shopping around.
Just as he was about to go over, he ran into Zhang Dajiang and the others.
Looking at them holding it in their hands and carrying it on their backs, it is obvious that they have gained a lot.
I can't even hide the smile on my face.
"Little village chief, have you bought everything? Are you ready to go back?" Probably because they were in a good mood, most people greeted Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing showed his signature smile and said: "Uncle Dajiang, I think there are a lot of vacant land in our village, and I want to buy some fast-growing vegetables to grow back. I am planning to go to the vegetable seed shop to have a look."
"Oh, you want to buy vegetable seeds and plant them in the village." Zhang Dajiang looked at him strangely again. He didn't know whether he believed it or not. He just smiled and said, "What good seeds can you buy in the store?"
, I will ask Da Shuan to take you to buy it, I guarantee it will be better than what you can buy in the store."
Zhou Qing was overjoyed. It was better to be led by an old man than to cross the river by feeling for stones. Moreover, although she wanted to buy vegetable seeds, she really couldn't tell what seeds were.
He agreed hurriedly, "That's fine, I just need to trouble Uncle Da Shuan and me to make a trip."
Da Shuan put his arm around Zhou Qing's shoulders and said, "Little village chief, you are a very good person, but sometimes you are too polite. Come on, I will take you there right now."
Then Zhou Qing, led by Zhang Dashuan, made a zigzag to an alley.
Zhang Dashuan asked her to wait, then he went up and knocked on the door.
The door opened and a young man walked out. It looked like the two of them knew each other.
The conversation was very familiar.
"Miaozi, this is the new village chief of our village, and he is also a scholar. His name is Zhou Qing. He wants to buy some vegetable seeds. Your vegetable seeds have always been the best. If not, I will bring him to your place.
"
When I heard that Zhou Qing was the village chief, although Miao Zi was from the county, he didn't pay much attention to it, but when he heard that he was a scholar, he paid more attention to it.
He said politely: "It turns out to be Village Chief Zhou. He looks very young."
"If you want to buy vegetables, come in and take a look. Uncle Da Shuan, why don't you come in and stand outside?"
