As one or two families started collecting, every household started collecting.
Liu Cuihua and the others harvested the beans first. The corn was not yet ripe. They stood in the bright sun and wore a straw hat. They used a sickle to cut the beans one by one. They put them into piles and bundled them. They carried them to the car and took them back to the wheat field to crush them.
.
There is a wheat field in the village, which is a flat piece of land, but it is very clean due to years of selling and threshing.
Every household has occupied a place in advance. If there is really no space, they will spread the beans on the roadside and have them crushed by passing vehicles, so that they can be threshed faster.
Qi Boyan went to the fields to help for a while, but Liu Cuihua was worried that Meng Yao was alone at home, so she quickly drove him back.
However, after he returned, he was still ordered by Meng Yao to deliver water, sour plum soup, and mung bean soup to the fields several times.
It's hot and it's easy to get thirsty in the fields. Meng Yao can't do anything else but do his best in this regard.
The medicine given by Uncle Hu was very good. In just three days, Meng Yao's feet no longer hurt when he walked. After seeing it, Uncle Hu couldn't help but urge Meng Yao to leave the stall.
However, the family was too busy, so Meng Yao still postponed the time of going out to the stall.
Just when the people in the village were busy working, the loudspeaker in the village sounded.
"Hey, hey..."
The person who spoke was clearly the heroine Qiao Xiyan.
When Meng Yao heard Qiao Xiyan's voice, she couldn't help but get excited.
Qiao Xiyan was talking about running a flour mill on the loudspeaker. She kept saying "do practical things for the villagers and seek welfare", and encouraged the villagers to save food in the flour mill.
Harvest wheat, harvest corn.
Wheat has been harvested for more than three months. At this time, every household has almost enough wheat. Qiao Xiyan is building a flour mill at this time, and it seems that he can only harvest some corn.
However, Meng Yao knew that the reason why the heroine Qiao Xiyan established the flour mill at this time was because of insufficient funds. She was worried that too many people would buy wheat into the flour mill, causing the capital chain to break, so she chose this time to announce the establishment.
After its establishment, it gradually expanded, and within a year it attracted nearby towns, including many villages and towns around the county, to purchase grain.
When the heroine Qiao Xiyan first talked about it, she didn't attract the busy villagers very much, but when she talked about the price and the benefits of depositing food in the flour mill, it caused a lot of discussion among the villagers.
Many people took time out of their busy schedule to ask Qiao Xiyan whether it was true or false.
True, naturally it is true.
Qiao Xiyan, the heroine, has a good business. She bought a lot of candies and melon seeds at home and waited for people to come to her door. Everyone who came to the door could get some.
After explaining it to them in detail, he told them the location of the flour mill and invited them to visit it. He also said that people who visited the flour mill would also be surprised.
People who had been to Qiao Xiyan's house and received these small favors naturally couldn't help but praise Qiao Xiyan in the village, attracting more and more people to inquire. After each one received the benefits, they naturally spread the word even more widely.
As for the surprise at the flour mill that Qiao Xiyan mentioned, many people have high hopes and are already discussing with close friends. They must go to the flour mill that Qiao Xiyan mentioned when they are done.
Meng Yao didn't go, but she heard Grandma Zhao next door chatting with someone at the door. After listening to the heroine's series of operations, she was so impressed that she fell into admiration.
No wonder the heroine's business can grow bigger and stronger, but she is really willing to sacrifice the cost.
Since the heroine Qiao Xiyan has said it, there will definitely be surprises when going to the flour mill, and the surprises will be quite big. Only in this way can we retain people, or what kind of discounts and gifts will be given to the first few people who save food?
Doesn't it make people more attractive?
Awesome, really awesome.
Seeing Meng Yao's interest, Qi Boyan couldn't help but tell her: "Although the profits may be higher than those of state-owned enterprises, the risks are also higher. Once it goes bankrupt, the people's hard work for a year will be lost!"
Meng Yao nodded, "That's right, but wealth comes from danger."
Qi Boyan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you want to go to a flour mill to sell grain?"
"I want to have one too!"
Meng Yao squinted over and became increasingly rude to Qi Boyan.
After thinking for a while, he quickly said: "I have to remind my mother that you can sell food, but you can't store it in a flour mill. If you don't have money and food by then, it will be terrible!"
A smile appeared on Qi Boyan's lips, "Don't worry, Mom won't, especially after the conflict with the Qiao family."
"That's good!"
Meng Yao patted his heart, but soon remembered something.
The book says that the villain provided money to save the heroine this time. Will he still provide money now?
Meng Yao asked Qi Boyan with this doubt, "If, and I mean if, if Qiao Xiyan can't get the money or food, and the flour mill is facing bankruptcy, will you help?"
"Won't!"
Qi Boyan said firmly.
Seeing Meng Yao's expression of disbelief, he frowned slightly.
"If I have investment in the flour mill, I will help. The flour mill has nothing to do with me, and Qiao Xiyan has nothing to do with me, so I won't help!"
Questions popped up in Meng Yao's head again.
Could it be that the villain in the book participated in the investment in the flour mill earlier, so he would provide money to help later, but now he has no investment?
Qi Boyan found with some helplessness that Meng Yao paid a lot of attention to Qiao Xiyan, and after thinking about it, he told her one more thing.
"As far as I know, she is in contact with someone to invest in a flour mill. As for whether it can be successful, it remains to be discussed!"
Contact investment?
Meng Yao was stunned by Qi Boyan's words.
Besides the villain, who else can the heroine find?
After chatting with someone, Grandma Zhao knocked on their courtyard door.
In the past few days, Meng Yao has been making delicious food, and the fragrant little stone often comes to visit, which has also caused the relationship between Grandma Zhao and the Qi family to ease a lot.
When Grandma Zhao came this time, she went straight to Qi Boyan.
"Boyan, you have seen a lot outside and know a lot. I want to ask you, can the flour mill built by Xiyan of the Qiao family be able to store grain?"
Meng Yao was particularly discerning and moved a stool for Grandma Zhao to sit on.
Qi Boyan also moved two sheets, one for Meng Yao and one for him to sit on.
He briefly told Grandma Zhao what he had just said to Meng Yao, and what he said was impartial. As for how to make a decision, it was up to Grandma Zhao.
Meng Yao thought about it for a while, and he was actually quite confused. After growing food for a season, who wouldn't want to spend more money?
From this perspective, storing grain in a flour mill, finding the right opportunity, and selling the grain at the right price is probably what the villagers hope for most.
But this is the way to bear the greatest risk.
Private flour mills are no longer as durable as state-owned flour mills.
In the book, the heroine's flour mill did not close down, and the nearby villagers did receive benefits. But what if the heroine's crisis is not resolved this time...
"Yes!"
As soon as Qi Boyan finished speaking, Grandma Zhao patted her legs and stood up.
"I'm crazy. I'm only thinking about good things. Okay, I understand. You guys are busy, so I won't bother you two anymore!"
Grandma Zhao stood up and left quickly, thinking that she had already made a decision in her heart.
