Upon seeing Lin Jiuniang, Huang Dalin immediately expressed that Huangjia Village wanted to rent land to her for seedling cultivation.
They don't want rent, as long as she provides free seedlings and seeds for them to plant. Of course, if they want to hire people to do work, they must give priority to people from their village.
Lin Jiuniang looked embarrassed, "I'll rent the land in your village.
But what if people in your village have objections?
You should go back to the village to ask other people’s opinions on this matter first. I will also go to other villages to ask, multiple choices, right?"
Huang Dalin became anxious on the spot when he heard that Lin Jiuniang wanted to go to other villages to inquire.
He quickly said:
"Ms. Lin, there's no need to look, it's just our village.
Let me tell you, if you go to other villages, the people in their villages will have different opinions.
But it is different in our village.
In our Huangjia Village, all people named Huang come from the same ancestor, so our village has an elders’ association.
Whatever is planted every year, as long as the clan elders agree, no one will object."
With that said, he pulled Huang Baoming over:
"He is the rich man of our village. He says one thing and no one says the other..."
"Are you sure you didn't trick me?" Lin Jiuniang raised her eyebrows and sneered:
"I haven't forgotten that when I met you before, you were fighting against him. Now that you are telling me this, is it a bit false?"
Huang Dalin showed a wry smile:
"This is different. In fact, the cactus forest caused too much trouble for our village, so I had to do this."
Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with light, her eyes swept over them, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth:
"Let's do this. If everyone in your village agrees and promises not to cause sabotage behind your back, I will use your fields for breeding. How about that?"
"Okay," Huang Dalin nodded.
Looking at Lin Jiuniang with a serious face, "Ms. Lin, I can assure you that if anyone dares to cause trouble behind your back, I will not let them go."
"Yes, I can assure you," Huang Baoming also agreed.
"Okay, then this matter is settled," Lin Jiuniang agreed happily:
"If there is no problem, we will go to the county government office tomorrow to sign a contract. Once the contract is finalized, we will start preparing the land.
In addition, I need to hire a hundred people to work, regardless of gender, but they must be hardworking and not lazy, and they will be paid twenty cents a day."
Twenty articles!
That’s six hundred articles a month!
Huang Dalin's eyes widened, and his heart started beating wildly. The salary was so tempting!
In two months, you can make more than one tael of silver and make a fortune, okay!
No, such good things must happen to Huangjiacun.
Taking a deep breath, Huang Dalin nodded solemnly, "Okay!"
Lin Jiuniang's eyes flashed with light, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Very good, this is the effect she wanted.
laugh!
"Now that this matter has been finalized, how about we talk about other things now?"
Huang Dalin came back from the surprise and looked at Lin Jiuniang with confused eyes, "Other things."
Anything else?
"Yes," Lin Jiuniang nodded, "Cactus forest."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Li immediately realized that she was emotionally attracted to Cactus Lin.
She asked, why is this woman Lin Jiuniang so troubled?
Lin Jiuniang's words made Huang Dalin even more puzzled, "Cactus forest? You want cactus?"
He looked at Huang Baoming, guarding against Huang Baoming getting angry, and said cautiously, "If you want to cut some for use, then it doesn't matter, right?"
"Yes, you can chop some off if you want," Huang Baoming gritted his teeth.
For the future of the village, he endured.
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "I won't chop it down, but some are not enough. I want to contract the cactus flowers for five years!"
"What!"
Huang Dalin and Huang Baoming both looked stunned.
I’ve heard of people renting land, shops, and houses, but I’ve never heard of people renting flowers.
Huang Dalin was careful, "Ms. Lin, are you really not kidding us?"
Lin Jiuniang shook her head, "I never joke.
How about you make a price, and if the price is right, we can sign the contract together tomorrow?"
Huang Dalin and Huang Baoming looked at each other. She was not kidding, she really wanted to rent flowers.
Huang Dalin looked at Huang Baoming and asked him to make up his mind.
Huang Baoming thought for a while, then raised his head and said:
"no."
His eyes were serious and solemn, "If it's just flowers, Mrs. Lin, you can pick them, and I'll give them to you. No need to pay for them."
But if you rent it, if there is a disaster, we will have to rely on this cactus to survive.
If you don’t allow it, then that’s not good, what do you think?”
Lin Jiuniang smiled, "Are you worried about this?"
Shake his head.
"Don't worry, if there is a calamity year, if you want this cactus to satisfy your hunger, just chop it down.
I, Lin Jiuniang, am not the kind of person who can’t carry things clearly.”
Huang Baoming breathed a sigh of relief.
With a serious look on her face, she said, "Ms. Lin, if you want flowers, they will bloom and you can pick them as you please."
Anyway, the flowers are useless if you keep them, and the fruits they bear are not many and not delicious. If you like them, just pick them."
Lin Jiuniang smiled and shook her head:
"Brothers, I will settle the accounts clearly. In a word, I will not lose a penny of the money I should give you. It is better to settle this kind of thing clearly.
So, go ahead and make an offer."
Huang Baoming frowned, as long as the price of this flower was, he didn't know how to bloom it.
Huang Dalin was bolder and asked directly for a thousand taels.
He knew that Lin Jiuniang must be useful in renting this flower, otherwise she would not rent it.
Besides, she is a businesswoman, so she will never cheat herself. It will definitely be profitable.
As soon as he said this, Huang Baoming slapped Huang Dalin.
Gritting his teeth, "Are you crazy about money? Just some flowers that no one wants, and you ask Mrs. Lin for a thousand taels, you are crazy!"
Huang Dalin was in pain, his eyes were filled with resentment, but he could not say a word.
He's really not crazy, he's thought about it seriously, okay?
Lin Jiuniang was happy. It seemed that the people in Huangjiacun were quite kind.
He smiled and shook his head, "Okay, just one thousand taels.
If I need to pick flowers later, I’ll ask someone from your village to do it, and if I need help later, I’ll also ask someone from your village, how about that?”
Huang Dalin was delighted and nodded sharply in agreement.
Huang Baoming looked shocked. Really, someone really wants to spend money to buy this cactus flower.
After decades of living, he knew for the first time that the cactus flower was so valuable.
This cactus flower is not pretty, cannot be eaten, and there are many bugs when it blooms.
No matter what he thought, he couldn't figure out what Mrs. Lin spent so much money on to buy this flower.
"Okay, you can go back to the village and ask. If you agree, we will go to the county government office to sign the contract tomorrow," Lin Jiuniang smiled. "It will be good for both of us to have the guarantee of the contract."
Huang Dalin nodded and agreed.
After watching Lin Jiuniang's carriage leave, the two of them had bright smiles on their faces.
"Old man from a wealthy family, it will be difficult for us in Huangjia Village not to make a fortune this time."
Five thousand taels in five years, and each household can get dozens of taels. This is simply a windfall.
Huang Baoming nodded, his old face smiling like chrysanthemums.
"That's right.
Come on, let's go back to the village now and tell everyone the good news.
Dalin, do you believe what I say now?
I have already said that this cactus forest represents the luck of Xiangping Town, now you believe it."
Huang Dalin nodded fiercely, who knew that someone would spend so much money to buy this cactus flower that no one wanted?
The two of them walked towards the village with excitement on their faces. At this moment, a carriage stopped in front of them.
