Upon hearing this, Village Chief Yu smiled and said to Fang Xiaoyu, "My father did all this."
"Oh! It seems that your father is a Feng Shui master?" Fang Xiaoyu asked.
"You can't even speak of an expert! Anyway, if anyone from all over the country has something to do, they will ask him to take a look."
After hearing this, Fang Xiaoyu felt happy for a while, thinking that he would have the opportunity to ask the village chief's father for advice.
"Let's go! Let's go see Duan Mu first and then come back for dinner later. You two can stay at my house today!" Village Chief Yu said to Yao Qian.
"No, no, we drove here. We had dinner and sat for a while before leaving. We have already booked a room in the town." Yao Qian is a rather particular woman, and she is not used to living in a stranger's home.
Village Chief Yu smiled and did not persuade him any more, so he had no choice but to take Fang Xiaoyu and Yao Qian to the place where Duan Mu was produced.
A group of three people arrived at a mountain col in the back mountain of Qingshi Village.
Village Chief Yu pointed at a large pile of paulownia trees that he was busy sawing off and said: "Here! This is the piece of wood we plan to sell. We have cut 50,000 pieces so far. The procedures for the paulownia forest in front of us have been approved.
, you can cut it down at any time. If you want it, two hundred thousand roots will definitely not be a problem."
Yao Qian bent down and carefully inspected Duan Mu at the scene. After a while, she saw him take out a measuring tape from his bag and measure it, and immediately made a look of dissatisfaction.
"Village Chief Yu, these pieces of wood are not old enough. Such pieces of wood can only be considered average, not high-quality."
"Village Chief Yao and his fellows are already considered the best in the entire Wulian Mountains. Really!"
Yao Qian smiled and deliberately looked hesitant. She glanced at Fang Xiaoyu and said, "Boss Fang, what do you think?"
When she said this, she intentionally winked at Fang Xiaoyu. Apparently she wanted to undercut the price of Duan Mu.
Fang Xiaoyu bent down and knocked on the piece of wood with his hand, pretending to be more knowledgeable. After looking at it for a while, he sighed and said: "It is indeed not a high-quality product."
Hearing this, Village Chief Yu felt a little worried.
He smiled and said to Yao Qian: "Village Chief Yao, our sections of wood are used to grow fungus, and the effect is excellent. Several bosses have already talked to us."
He also understood that Yao Qian wanted to test the price, so he emphasized that there was no shortage of people to buy his piece of wood.
Yao Qian is a veteran in the business world, so she naturally understands that this is a routine.
She replied calmly: "Village Chief Yu, let's not beat around the bush. Sell it to us for eleven dollars and fifty cents a piece!"
"Eleven dollars and a half? Didn't you say twelve dollars a piece?" Village Chief Yu asked anxiously.
Yao Qian smiled and said: "I haven't seen the goods yet, so I estimated them based on the general market price. Now that I have seen them, it is indeed a bit different from what I expected."
"But..." Village Chief Yu hesitated a little. He made a careful calculation in his mind. If the price is 11.5 yuan per piece, the total price difference of 200,000 pieces of wood is 100,000 yuan. This is not a small sum.
number.
But he didn't want to give up the business he got.
Just when the village chief was hesitant.
Yao Qian opened her backpack, revealing a bag of red banknotes, and smiled at Village Chief Yu: "Here! I have brought all the money. If we reach an agreement, we will pay the deposit immediately and sign the wood purchase agreement. You are here
Within a week, all the pieces of wood will be transported to Hehua Village in Long County."
"Ah! Do we have to pay for the freight?" Village Chief Yu wanted to take over the business, but Yao Qian's conditions were very harsh. He was wavering for a while.
Yao Qian's eyes fell firmly on the village chief's face and saw that he was hesitant.
I thought to myself that even the temptation of cash could not seduce this guy.
It can be seen that the price has been pushed to the lowest level. If it is pushed down further, the final result will definitely be a business deal.
She decided to calm down for a while, and said to the village chief with a smile: "I think so! I'll bring the car, and you can arrange the loading."
Village Chief Yu thought for a while, smiled and said to Yao Qian: "Okay, I accept this price. As for loading the truck, I will ask the villagers then! This is a small matter, don't rush it, we will discuss it in detail later.
It’s not too late. It’s getting late. Let’s go home and have dinner first!”
"Okay! That's it."
Yao Qian and Fang Xiaoyu were some distance behind the village chief. They were chatting quietly.
"Xiaoyu, the price negotiation for this batch of wood was quite successful today, right?" Yao Qian said to Fang Xiaoyu with some pride.
"success!"
"Of course it worked! I saved you at least 90,000 yuan with just a few words. The freight and loading fees are decimals. Even if the village chief disagrees, we only need to pay 10,000 yuan to get it done. In business, skills are
It's very important." When Yao Qian said this, she had a sense of superiority on her face.
"I admire you!" Fang Xiaoyu praised from the bottom of his heart.
The two of them came to the village chief's home together. Village chief Yu is a relatively enthusiastic person. Although the business is not ideal, he still treats Fang Xiaoyu and Yao Qian warmly with good food.
In the evening, Village Chief Yu's father Yu Shangen also came back. Fang Xiaoyu was thinking about how to get involved with Feng Shui with this old man.
But the old man didn't like to talk or laugh, so Fang Xiaoyu couldn't do anything.
Dinner was ready. Village Chief Yu's wife cooked a table full of dishes for the guests. There were year-old ham smoked for a year, farm chicken soup and fried bacon with bamboo shoots, steamed wild grass carp, and small field snails fried with pepper.
These dishes are all liked by both Yao Qian and Fang Xiaoyu.
However, the most satisfying meal for both of them was the Mapo Tofu. This tofu was particularly fragrant, numb but not greasy, delicious, and had a long aftertaste, making me want to eat it again.
"Strange, why are these Mapo Tofu so delicious!"
"Yes! I think it's very delicious too."
Fang Xiaoyu and Yao Qian could not help but praise from the bottom of their hearts.
At this time, Yu Shangen, the father of the village chief, said with a smile: "Of course this tofu is delicious, because it uses wild pepper from Wulian Mountain. The things on the dragon's tongue are not delicious!"
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised. He knew what Yu Shangen said about the dragon's tongue. Obviously, this place is where the dragon veins of the entire Wulian Mountain are located.
Feng shui masters like to talk about dragons, phoenixes, tigers, etc., which are defined according to the shape of the mountain. Fang Xiaoyu can naturally understand this kind of secret language.
No wonder the tofu made from wild pepper is so delicious. This thing is similar to the top-quality fungus produced by thorns. It is a natural and earthly treasure in the dragon's veins.
Fang Xiaoyu felt excited and asked Yu Shangen with a smile: "Uncle Yu, what does this thing on the dragon's tongue mean? It must be related to Feng Shui!"
Fang Xiaoyu thought to himself that this is an excellent communication opportunity and must not be missed.
When Yu Shangen heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he replied with some displeasure: "I was just talking casually. This is just the sansho pepper produced in our village. Let's eat!"
As he said that, the old man reached out and picked up the vegetables. Obviously, he didn't want to talk too much about Feng Shui with Fang Xiaoyu.
The more this happens, the more Fang Xiaoyu feels that there is a mystery in it. (To be continued)
