The villagers gathered around excitedly. Each family brought some vegetables, fruits and meat to thank Ye Qiu.
Zhao Tian looked excited and said: "Ye Qiu, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, we probably wouldn't be able to use tap water."
The second aunt also said: "Yes, I feel that it was absolutely right to elect Ye Qiu as the village chief a few months ago."
Ye Qiu shook his head: "I still have to thank the leaders and the Green Forest Municipal Government. Without them, this water conservancy project would not have been completed."
After hearing this, the villagers thanked the city leaders and Cai Ya one after another.
Aunt Wang looked at Ye Qiu kindly: "If you use tap water, you won't have to worry about drinking it to ruin your stomach in the future. This baby Ye Qiu is really promising."
Ye Qiu said hurriedly: "This is not possible, the water still needs to be boiled before you can drink it."
Aunt Wang's daughter and son-in-law also came forward to express their gratitude. Not only did they give Ye Qiu a wild rabbit hunted from the mountain, but other villagers also gave Ye Qiu things.
The kindness was hard to persuade, so Ye Qiu had no choice but to accept it.
To celebrate the use of natural water in the village, the villagers decided to hold a banquet.
It is said that people rely on mountains to eat and eat from mountains and water. The ingredients used in the banquet are also fungi, wild vegetables, fruits, hares, wild boars, pheasants, etc. from the mountains.
These ingredients are game, quite delicious, and rich in nutrients. In addition, they are grown in Yushan Village, a geomantic treasure land of Kowloon and Pearl, making them even more delicious.
The tap water after the village was first connected to water was used for this banquet.
Moreover, there were no chefs in the village, so Ye Qiu could only cook the food. Many villagers came to help. They were shocked to find that Ye Qiu’s cooking skills were not only good, but also very fast. The women in the village wanted to
Help can only be done by washing vegetables.
Ye Qiu's cooking skills are naturally flawless, and the dishes cooked are full of flavor and flavor.
Originally, Lin Dongsheng and others felt that it was not good to attend the villagers' banquet and wanted to leave. However, when they smelled the aroma of the food, they couldn't walk one by one and waited for the meal to start.
When it came time to actually eat, everyone was shocked by Ye Qiu's cooking skills.
"Damn, it's so delicious."
"This cooking skill is even better than that of the old chef."
"Why does it seem to be as delicious as what the special chef of Baiyun Hotel made last time?!"
People from the city were full of praises, especially Lin Dongsheng and Secretary Cai. They had eaten in five-star hotels when they attended important occasions before, but those chefs were not as delicious as Ye Qiu's.
.
Even Vice President Li of the Green Forest Municipal Government shamelessly visited the village and sat down at the same table with the person he called "the dirty guy". In the end, he got drunk and shouted that he wanted to call the villagers "big brother".
A banquet is a feast for both the guest and the host.
Finally, people from the city left Yushan Village one after another after they were almost exhausted. Ye Qiu also gave each person 2 kilograms of hawthorn.
Ye Qiu still had something to discuss with Cai Ya, so he went to Cai Ya: "Mr. Cai, I want to ask something."
Cai Ya was wearing a professional OL suit and had a graceful figure. She asked curiously: "What's going on? The decoration of your branch is currently being renovated. It won't take long to be completed."
"It's not about the branch." Ye Qiu paused, "I want to ask you, how much does it cost to build a gravel road?"
"Rocky road?"
Cai Ya quickly guessed what Ye Qiu wanted to do, and a look of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Building a rough stone road is relatively simple. Just lay the stones and flatten them with a machine. The main cost is in the materials. If you want to build a national highway
As for the mountain road to the village... one kilometer costs about 100,000."
"One kilometer is 100,000, ten kilometers is 1 million."
Ye Qiu made a quick calculation and asked, "If I plan to build an asphalt road in the future, how much will it cost to use this rubble road as a roadbed?"
Cai Ya was surprised and said: "Asphalt roads are expensive. From your village to the national highway, the price is at least 30 million."
Ye Qiu nodded when he heard this, with no apparent expression. But he screamed in his heart, 30 million, it would kill him. He didn't have that much money before he retired, and after he retired, most of his money
I donated all of it to my comrades and relatives, and I kept 10,000 yuan.
Seeing Ye Qiu's calm expression, Cai Ya couldn't help but admire Ye Qiu's lofty ideals.
It is rare for a small farmer in a mountain village to have such a lofty ambition and want to help the village build a good road.
Cai Ya thought for a while and said: "If it is designed according to the road width of 8 meters, according to your requirements, the foundation of an entire rubble road will cost about 5 million. This is the best quality."
Ye Qiu thought for a moment and realized that his income from selling hawthorns was around 9 million. There was no problem in paying for a rubble road, so he said, "Well, Mr. Cai, I want to find your company to help us build a rubble road."
Road. But 5 million has to be paid in installments, so I can pay you 500,000 first."
Cai Ya was a little surprised when she saw Ye Qiu agreeing.
Five million is not a small amount for an ordinary person, especially a small farmer in a mountain village. Unexpectedly, Ye Qiu agreed so quickly. Moreover, for five million, she would make a bit of a profit.
Cai Ya didn't expect that she could also receive business in Yushan Village.
The two initially determined their intention to cooperate, and then Cai Ya handed over the specific matters to Zhou Peng. The construction team happened to be still here. If the contract was signed, they would be allowed to continue construction in the village.
The villagers stayed busy until about ten o'clock in the evening, and then they dispersed and went home.
Ye Qiu and Xu Xiuying naturally returned to the village committee's housing.
After the water was turned on, Ye Qiu specially asked Zhou Peng to build a bathroom in the vacant room of the village committee and install a water heater so that it could be used for bathing.
When Xu Xiuying returned to the village committee, she got into the bathroom with her clothes and took a nice hot bath. She came out after more than an hour, wearing loose clothes, her skin was white and rosy from the steam.
Below is a pair of shorts, revealing a pair of smooth and slender legs, which are slim and pure.
Her wet hair was spread over her shoulders.
Ye Qiu smelled a faint scent of mint. He didn't know if it was the smell of shampoo or Xu Xiuying's body fragrance.
When the two came to Xu Xiuying's house, Ye Qiu told them his plan.
Xu Xiuying was very surprised when she heard that Ye Qiu said that she wanted to spend her own money to build a gravel road in the village. "Ye Qiu, do you really want to spend your own money to build a gravel road? That's five million, and you can build it in the city."
I bought five houses.”
Ye Qiu nodded: "Yes, the five million can be considered earned from the villagers anyway."
Xu Xiuying glanced at Ye Qiu approvingly. In fact, she also had this idea, but when she thought that Ye Qiu earned the money, she didn't feel embarrassed to speak.
Now that Ye Qiu has brought it up himself, it will be much easier to handle.
