Damiao and Zhao Quan looked at each other, smiled knowingly, and then left.
It's not easy for them to get involved in this young man's affairs.
Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Ye Qiu felt helpless. He knew that they had misunderstood, but it was hard to say more. The more he explained, the darker it would become.
He turned to look at Zhao Xiner. Seeing that the little girl was a little nervous, he said gently: "Uh... whatever it is, just tell me."
"I'm my sister."
Zhao Xiner's face turned red and she bit her tender lips. After a while, she mustered up the courage to say, "Village Chief, do you like Meier?"
"What?"
When Ye Qiu heard this, he almost fell down and said hurriedly: "Where is this? Why do I like Mei'er?"
"No, isn't it?" Zhao Xiner's face turned red, "Then...then...why do you, every time..."
Zhao Xiner hesitated for a while before Ye Qiu figured out what she meant.
It turned out that after the Zhao sisters got the money that day, they forgot to tell Ye Qiu about the extra money. As a result, Zhao Meier went to get the money the next day. After counting, she found that there were still .9 kilograms more mountain mushrooms. Ye Qiu
Gave Zhao Meier 180 yuan.
Zhao Meier went home and told Zhao Xiner about this matter. The two sisters discussed it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion that made Zhao Meier shy.
That was because Ye Qiu fell in love with Zhao Meier, so he gave her more money.
"Misunderstood."
Ye Qiu gave a bitter smile. He saw that the two sisters were suffering too much and had to take care of their mother, so he calculated their price at 20 yuan per catty.
"Ah, misunderstood?"
Zhao Xiner's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed. She felt so embarrassed in her heart.
"It's like this. I think you two sisters have to take care of your mother, so I'll give you a little more. It's not much, but it's what I want."
"Well, wouldn't it be good for other people to know this? Folks, it's only 15 yuan per pound." Zhao Xiner hesitated.
"It's okay, the folks will understand if they know."
"But, this is still not good." Zhao Xiner said with a bitter face, "If you do this, village chief, won't you lose money?"
"It's fine."
Ye Qiu rubbed Zhao Xiner's little head, but he felt guilty in his heart. He actually felt guilty for deceiving such an innocent little girl.
"I'd better return the money to you." When Zhao Xiner saw Ye Qiu's hand, she didn't move away, but her face turned red.
"It's okay to give it back to me, but I will use the money to buy some supplements to replenish your mother's body." Ye Qiu said with a smile.
"Ah, isn't this the same?"
Zhao Xiner was dumbfounded, with a cute expression on her face.
"Haha, so you sisters just accept it." Ye Qiu patted Zhao Xiner's little head and said, "Besides, don't you want to go to college in the future?"
Speaking of college, Zhao Xiner's eyes lit up, but then dimmed. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Qiu, but I don't want to go to college anymore. I want to pick more mountain mushrooms, and then let Meier go to college while I stay at home."
Take care of my mother."
After Zhao Xiner finished speaking, she blushed and ran away.
"They'll all go to college."
Ye Qiu watched the petite figure disappear from sight, his eyes becoming extremely firm.
The Zhao sisters' home.
Zhao Xiner had just put her mother to bed when she saw her sister running back in a panic, her face flushed, and she hurriedly asked her what was going on.
"Oh sister, don't ask, just take the money."
Zhao Meier covered her face and her ears turned red. It was so embarrassing that she pretended to be her sister and asked the village chief if he liked her.
If someone found out, how would Meier behave?
Fortunately, Ye Qiu didn't misunderstand.
Thinking of this, Zhao Meier felt a little disappointed for some reason.
…
Just as he was about to leave, Ye Qiu was stopped again.
Looking back, Xu Xiuying was running over carrying a large bag of things.
"What did you and Xin'er say just now?" Xu Xiuying ran over, her eyes unfriendly.
"Just an ordinary chat." Ye Qiuqian smiled.
"It's best." Xu Xiuying glared at Ye Qiu, and then handed Ye Qiu a bag of things in her hand, "Take this to the market and see if you can sell it."
"What's this?"
Ye Qiu opened it and took a look. It was Malantou.
Malantou, this kind of wild vegetable is abundant in the countryside and is a delicacy on the dining table. In recent years, it has also appeared on the dining tables of city hotels.
"Aunt Wang picked out this bag of Malantou, and brought it here specially for us to eat." Xu Xiuying pointed at the Malantou and said, "You don't have to go up the mountain to get this stuff. There are many near the village. I think there are many elderly women in the village who can't go up.
There are mountains, but there is no problem in picking wild vegetables on the edge of the village. If we can find a market for Malantou, we can also find a way for the elderly and women in the village to make money."
Ye Qiu raised his thumb: "Zhishu Xu still has the foresight."
"Come on, it's not certain whether it can be sold or not." Xu Xiuying said this, but she was still a little proud of being praised by Ye Qiu. After all, she was also the village party secretary and wanted to contribute to the development of the village.
"Let me give it a try." Ye Qiu left the village carrying the snakeskin bag.
When he caught up with Damiao and Zhao Quan, they had not gone very far. Damiao and Zhao Quan were very impressed by Ye Qiu's foot strength, and they were able to catch up so quickly.
With the addition of Ye Qiu, the three people pushing the cart went faster.
However, it still took nearly 2 and a half hours to reach the highway, and by this time Lao Kong was already waiting there.
A few people exchanged pleasantries and then took the car to the city.
After more than half an hour, a few people arrived at Baiyun Hotel. After Ye Qiu helped Damiao and Zhao Quan unload the goods, people from the purchasing department began to weigh them.
"A total of 903 kilograms, 15 yuan per kilogram, which is 13,545 yuan. Boss Ye, do you think this is correct?"
People in the purchasing department asked Ye Qiudao that Bai Yunling had specially handled this matter. People in the purchasing department only knew that Ye Qiu's mountain mushrooms cost 15 yuan per catty, but in fact Bai Yunling paid 20 yuan per catty to purchase them.
"That's right." Ye Qiu smiled.
Damiao and Zhao Quan were surprised when they heard this number. Although they had heard it several times, they were still surprised every time.
That's more than 10,000 yuan. It would take them five or six years to earn it, and they sold so much in one day.
Thinking of this, I became more determined to follow Ye Qiuqian.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Ye Qiu took out a pack of cigarettes and distributed them to several people in the purchasing department. He bought them specially on the way. But he doesn't smoke them himself, not because he doesn't like them, but because he, a martial arts practitioner, needs to keep his body clean.
Everyone in the purchasing department smiled and accepted the cigarettes, and they had a good impression of Ye Qiu. It was rare to see such an approachable supplier.
"By the way, is Manager Bai here?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Here he is, probably in the kitchen now." Someone replied.
Ye Qiu nodded and entered the hotel through the back door. He walked to the kitchen and saw Bai Yunling pacing in the kitchen with an anxious face.
