Zhao Dexiang, the village head of Baocun Village, walked around his home anxiously. According to the agreement, the Qian family was supposed to arrive yesterday, but there is still no sign today. The Qian family will not come. Thinking that the villagers have picked it and have already
After the preliminary treatment of kudzu, he was so anxious that he got angry. Because of the disaster year, the Qian family wanted to lower the price, but he didn't agree. The Qian family cried about being poor, but it was even more difficult for them. All the fields in their village were used to grow kudzu.
Hemp, we don’t grow food, so we all rely on selling the kudzu to get money for food. The price itself is not high, and the money earned is just enough to live on. If the price continues to drop, and the kudzu harvest is poor this year, everyone will simply
There is no way to survive. Now that the Qian family has not come after the agreed time, it is not true that they don't want it anymore. The more Zhao Dexiang thinks about it, the more upset he becomes. He can't help but crane his neck and look outside the gate. He also arranged to go to the dock to wait for someone.
Dagang, why haven't you come back yet? No, he had to go and have a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the door, Dagang ran back panting. "Village Chief!"
"how was it?"
Zhao Dexiang was extremely anxious. "Here we come," Dagang breathed heavily. Zhao Dexiang breathed a sigh of relief, with joy on his face, "It's good if you come, it's good if you come. I'm afraid I won't come. Let's
Everyone, get ready and send it to the dock tomorrow."
"Village chief, no!"
Dagang was anxious. After swallowing his breath, he quickly grabbed Zhao Dexiang's hand and shook his head: "The Qian family, the Qian family's big ship is here, but it's gone again!"
"What!"
Zhao Dexiang felt dizzy and shook his body, holding on to Dagang's hand, "Can you see clearly?"
"It's not wrong. I recognize their flag, and I also recognize the steward Qian who came to buy it every year. He is standing on the bow of the ship. It is the Qian family's ship."
Zhao Dexiang's face suddenly turned pale. Qian family, what does this mean? Are you really not accepting their kudzu anymore, or are you deliberately forcing them to sell it at a lower price? At this time, the news that the Qian family's ship came and left spread throughout the world.
The entire Baoxiang Village. Villagers rushed towards Zhao Dexiang's house and surrounded Zhao Dexiang, who had not yet recovered from the blow. "Village Chief, are the Qian family really gone?"
"Village chief, no one wants our kudzu anymore?"
...The quarrels made by each person made Zhao Dexiang's head hurt. No matter what he said now, the villagers could not calm down. Everyone was asking what they should do, how they would repay the money they borrowed, how they would live in the future, etc. After all, for this Ge
Ma, they gave everything. If all their hard work was soaked in water, they really couldn't bear this blow. Zhao Dexiang's hair was swollen, and he stretched out his hand to rub his painful forehead. They were panicked. He, the village chief, was even more panicked than they were.
. took a deep breath and began to try to calm the villagers' emotions. At this moment, Lin Jiuniang and others drove a carriage to Bao Village. Lin Jiuniang was disgusted and said, "Gu Xiaobao, you are just a road idiot. How can you still walk on such an easy road?
Wrong go."
That's right, the person driving the carriage was Gu Xiaobao. They asked people how to go, and they all said that when you encounter a three-way road, take the upper one. As for him, he went directly to the lower one, but he ended up going astray and wasted a lot of time.
Gu Xiaobao laughed dryly, "Ms. Lin, if I say it was an accident, would you believe it?"
"What do you think?"
Lin Jiuniang looked down upon her, "Gu Xiaobao, you still have a lot to learn, so be serious."
This kid still lacks exercise. After saying that, he jumped down from the carriage and walked towards the crowd in front. After standing outside the crowd for a while, he suddenly knew the reason why these people gathered here. Lin Jiuniang's eyes lit up, was this considered?
God help me? After the others dispersed, Lin Jiuniang went directly to Zhao Dexiang. Zhao Dexiang looked at the woman in front of him with confusion, "Who are you?"
"Lin Jiuniang, you can call me Mrs. Lin," Lin Jiuniang chuckled. Zhao Dexiang nodded, and after calling her Mrs. Lin, he directly asked her why she was here. When he found out that she was here to buy Gema, he felt happy, "You,
Do you collect kudzu?"
"right!"
Lin Jiuniang nodded, "If your kudzu is processed well, I can give you two cents per catty, as much as I want."
"Liwen!"
Zhao Dexiang's voice game was exciting, and his body trembled slightly. Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows, "The price is low?"
This price should be considered high. "No," Zhao Dezhi shook his head quickly and took a deep breath to calm down, "The price given by Mrs. Lin is very fair."
After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and said, "Ms. Lin must have come from afar. Why don't you stay at my house tonight? As for selling kudzu, I'll discuss it with the villagers first."
After all, it is not his business alone. He has to seek the opinions of the villagers. More importantly, it is necessary to discuss whether to sell it to her. It does not mean that it is enough to sell it this year. They also have to consider other things, such as next year and the year after that. She only needs to
This year, he can't sell to her, because if they don't sell to the Qian family this year, they will offend the Qian family. What will they do if the Qian family doesn't come to buy it in the future? Living in his house, Lin Jiuniang has no objection. After all, now
It was already late, and we really needed a place to stay. But the hesitation in his eyes made Lin Jiuniang raise her eyebrows: "You are worried that I came to acquire this year, but I won't come next year, right?"
A woman with such keen intuition! Zhao Dexiang nodded, "That's right."
"To be fair to Madam Lin, the Qian family comes to buy the kama in our Bao Village every year. This year, the Qian family is a little later than the agreed time, but it has already arrived."
"If I sell kudzu to you now and don't sell kudzu to the Qian family when they come, I will naturally offend the Qian family. If you don't come to buy it next year, and the Qian family won't come either, we kind
What should we do about the people who make a living by growing kudzu? So please forgive me for the difficulty."
"You are an honest person," Lin Jiuniang chuckled, "So..." She took out a banknote from her arms, "These one thousand taels can be used as a deposit for next year's kamafa reservation, which will put your mind at ease.
?"
Zhao Dexiang's eyes instantly widened. He had already paid the deposit. What reason did he have to refuse? Zhao Dexiang agreed without hesitation, and then enthusiastically invited Lin Jiuniang to his home. At the same time, he also had people tell the villagers the good news. Here he is.
On the second day, the people of Anle Village happily sent their kudzu to the pier. Lin Jiuniang and Zhao Dexiang went to the Yamen to sign a contract together, and then rushed to the pier. After all, the kudzu was sent to Baochang Village on the pier.
The villagers were still waiting for their money. At the dock, the Qian family's big boat sailed back to Bao'an Town again. When Qian Anguo looked at the dense kudzu at the dock, he smiled proudly at Butler Qian and said: "Uncle Qian
, you see, I told you not to be anxious, you should whet their appetite."
"Did you see? Yesterday, you exposed your naked body and left. Today, without us having to say anything, he automatically sent the kudzu here to wait for us to buy it. If we don't negotiate the price at this time, when will we do it?"
Butler Qian nodded and felt that he should delay it for another day or two. But since it was delivered to his door, he just lowered the price and accepted it. He asked people to dock the boat at the dock, walked to the bow, and said loudly: "Bring them all up.
