Chapter 41.Exchanging vegetables for birds (today's big change, ask for recommendations, ask for collections!!)
The hot spring water in the puddle in front of him was still seeping outward, Li Tian picked up the shovel and filled it directly, and waited until the water no longer seeped outward, and then gave up.
"It's always a good thing to go back and find someone to clean up this yard and move in with Li Duoyu and keep the hot springs with plenty of aura. Li Tian carried a shovel and walked out of the courtyard door slowly, not forgetting to lock the broken door.
Xiao Hei and Caifeng were chirping, Li Tian immediately understood the intentions of these two guys, and then took out a few berries from his pocket and threw them out.
Even in the dim light at night, the two little ones fluttered their little wings with unmistakable accuracy, opened their mouths, and swallowed the berries in their stomachs, and clearly enjoyed it.
"Foodie, have more than one virtue with Li!" Li Tian scolded with a smile.
As soon as I came to the gate of my yard, I heard the little girl Li Duoyu sneezing a string of sneezes, and muttered in her mouth, "Which Wang Ba calf said bad things about me behind my back....."
Li Tian's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground, beating his chest vigorously, "How beautiful life is.... Don't get angry. ”
"No, I'm really angry Dad!" In the end, I still couldn't suppress the grief and indignation in my heart.
"You went out with a shovel this big night, shouldn't you be digging someone's ancestral grave?" Li Duoyu hadn't slept yet, wearing the pajamas that Liu Ruyan bought in the town, standing barefoot in the back room, with a ridiculous look.
"Dig your uncle, can't you say something cute like a normal girl?" The corners of Li Tian's mouth twitched.
I am very glad that Li Duoyu is not his own, otherwise he would have cried to death in his dreams.
"What's the smell on you, why is it so fragrant?" Li Duoyu ran over barefoot in two steps, sniffing vigorously on Li Tian's body with his nose.
The fair-skinned little face finally shows the immaturity and cuteness that girls of this age should have.
Li Tian instinctively explained, "Don't guess, I didn't go out to find a woman." ”
"Don't admit yourself, do you?" Li Duoyu glanced at his mouth, and habitually showed disdain.
Then, with lightning speed, he stretched out his white little hand and took a handful of it in the pocket of Li Tianjun's coat.
"Okay, you, there's something delicious to hide, don't you give it to me, don't you want to eat breakfast tomorrow?" Li Duoyu didn't delay at all when he complained, threw the berries in his hand into his mouth one by one, chewed and ate, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Grandma, I finally picked a few of them and kept them for sowing!"
"Leave me a few..... I'll let you eat enough if you plant too much!"
Li Tian wanted to cry without tears, and admired Li's extra sense of smell and agility very much, and when he touched his pocket, it was already empty, and there was no hair left.
It took a lot of effort to snatch back a few poor ones from Li Duoyu's mouth, but fortunately, there were a lot of seeds growing on this berry, and there were dozens of them after careful calculation.
"Stingy, don't you just eat a few rotten fruits from you?"
"But it smells so good..... When are you going to grow it?" Li Duoyu licked his lips and looked at the second uncle with blank eyes.
"If you want to eat it, help me peel off all the seeds on this berry, you can eat the pulp, can you make a deal?" Li Tian suddenly smiled sinisterly.
Sure enough, Li Duoyu happily took over this extremely difficult task and ran to the stove to peel seeds.
Li Tian stretched his waist and took a look around the courtyard.
The vegetables in the corner were almost grown and lush. This courtyard has a lot more vitality than the day I first came back, and the aura is also a lot stronger.
The source of the aura is mainly the newly cultivated top-quality wild ginseng, which grows much slower than vegetables, and has not yet blossomed and borne fruit, but the year has been more than 30 years.
"It's a top-notch variety, and it hasn't grown any seeds until now. Li Tian moved his gaze to another position.
The seeds of some ordinary medicinal herbs that I had worked hard to get in the town two days ago, plus some saved by the villagers, were cultivated by Li Tiandu, although they have not yet reached the top state, but they are also growing gratifyingly.
"It should be able to refine and absorb tomorrow morning, right?"
Although they are all ordinary medicinal materials, it should be no problem to deal with some minor illnesses and disasters.......".. Li Tiandu muttered and suddenly found that this courtyard was too small, and some of it was not enough.
After smoking two cigarettes, when he entered the house, Li Duoyu's white little palm held dozens of seeds the size of a needle's eye, and shook it at Li Tian as if offering treasures, "What's the matter? The task is complete, let's plant it quickly!"
Before Li Tian could agree, Li Duoyu had already run into the yard and began to dig the pit quietly.
"I usually let you work, but I don't see you being so active....." Li Tian teased while scattering the seeds very casually.
It's been cultivated, so even if it's not on the edge of the hot spring, it won't be affected.
"It's not early, go to bed!" Li Tian yawned, muttered into the quilt, thinking, country life is cool, eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy, and wake up naturally when you sleep.
I used to work hard in the city, although the scenery was exciting, but I had never been so comfortable and relaxed.
I was just about to take off a crisp and neat rope, and I was comfortable and comfortable, but I suddenly felt: the movement next to me is not right.
Li took off his pajamas and actually got into the bed.
Li Tianxiang was taken aback, "Why are you doing, why don't you go to your own room?"
"Second uncle, I can't sleep after eating too much at night, my second grandfather used to tell me stories, can you tell me one too?" Li Duoyu blinked with big eyes.
The second uncle directly melted Li Tian's heart, and laughed and teased, "What does the second grandfather usually tell you?"
"Your second uncle and I are all adult jokes, I'm afraid to scare you....."
"Zombies, female ghosts and something, it's exciting..... I heard that there is a mass grave outside our village, and sometimes it is called in the middle of the night
What about the soul..."Li Duoyu's eyes lit up.
This time, Li Tian couldn't sleep, and he always felt a chill on the back of his neck.
On the morning of the second day, Li Tian, who was still in a sweet dream, heard in a daze that there was a commotion outside the courtyard, someone was calling his name, and kept banging on the door.
Li Tian opened his eyes, took Li Yu's white and tender feet away from his face, and shouted outside, "What's the matter, the sky is falling?"
"Let's go and see, something big is going on again..... a sentence came from the door.
"What do you have to say?" Li Tian dressed slowly and methodically, and after arriving in the countryside, the whole rhythm of life became slow, and in his opinion, as long as the sky did not fall, it was not a big deal.
After opening the courtyard gate, Li Tian also felt that something was wrong, because at this time, many villagers had guys in their hands and ran directly in the direction of the jujube forest, obviously to fight.
"What's going on?"
"Who's fighting!" Li Tian was surprised for a while, although the people in the northern countryside were fierce, unless it was an irreconcilable contradiction, it would never be possible for such a situation to occur.
"You still don't know? The vegetables grown in your jujube grove have destroyed a lot of chickens, ducks and geese in the farm next door, and the villagers found out and reprimanded them, but they didn't expect the other party to be very arrogant and called a lot of people, and this is going to be done!" A villager hurriedly recounted.
'Is there such a thing?' Li Tian put on his military coat and hurriedly followed the villagers forward.
Sure enough, at this time, the location of the jujube grove was chaotic, and the villagers led by Da Chun were staring at the beads of their eyes and preparing to make a move with others.
On the opposite side is the next village, and there were originally only a dozen people, but there were many people who also arrived one after another with their guys.
"Do you think the people in our village are easy to bully?"
"This vegetable plot is related to our next income, and now that it is destroyed like this, you will pay three or five hundred yuan and it will be over?" There was a chorus of villagers.
"Don't talk nonsense, isn't it just ruining a little bit of vegetables?"
"Even if it is by the pound, at most I will accompany you for 1,800 yuan, and I will ask for tens of thousands of dollars as soon as I open my mouth, are you going crazy?" On the opposite side are several small bosses of the farm, all of them full of momentum.
Thanks to the mediation of several village cadres such as Liu Changgui, otherwise they would have been together a long time ago.
Li Tian didn't want to cause a large-scale fight and bloodshed because of his vegetable field, on the one hand, the villagers would be guilty, and on the other hand, his bad reputation would spread, and his business would definitely be interfered with in the future.
Li Tian hurriedly spread his legs, ran to the middle of the two wheels, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Don't worry, big guy, put down the things in your hand, and listen to me!"
"What are you doing? Your village chief can't speak well, what are you running and pretending to be a big-tailed wolf!" The owners of several farms opposite didn't take Li Tian seriously at all.
After all, in such a remote village, it is quite awesome to be able to buy and sell a little bit and earn 108,000 a year.
Most of them also came from other places to rent cheap land to do business, and they had some prestige in the hearts of the villagers.
"Pay attention to what you say, this is Mr. Li of our village. ”
"This jujube grove and vegetable patch are his!" Da Chun immediately took the lead in shouting, and then stood next to Li Tian with a stick to support him.
The people on the other side looked at Li Tian twice, and their faces showed more obvious disdain.
Li Tian went out in the morning and ran in a hurry, he was still wearing autumn clothes and pants inside, his shoes were not completely put on, he was just wearing a shabby military coat outside, cotton was exposed in some places, and his beard was unkempt, so he didn't look like a boss.
"The way of the world has really changed, is it true that everyone says that they are the boss. ”
"Mr. Li, isn't it just a vegetable grower, this thing has already happened today anyway, you just say what you want to do, right?"
"If you want to blackmail money, we won't agree!" A small flat head about 40 years old stood out on the opposite side, stretched out his arm before speaking, shook it twice, and carried a watch worth tens of thousands of yuan on his wrist.
I guess this is the most valuable line on the body.
With a calm expression, Li Tian took out a cigarette from the pocket of his military coat and wanted to hand it to the other party, but he didn't take it at all, but looked at him with a contemptuous attitude.
Li Tian frowned, feeling that these people in front of him, especially these few who were bosses, were a little ignorant and not easy to talk to.
So the smile on his face gradually converged, and he glanced at the situation in the vegetable field next to him.
There are a lot of running pheasants, as well as free-range geese, which make a mess here. Although the villagers found it early and did not destroy all the vegetables, it is roughly estimated that the vegetables that can no longer be sold must have a few hundred catties to say the least.
"The people in our village have always been fair, and they will not slander people casually. ”
"Did you just say that compensation should be made according to the market price, then according to what you said, let's weigh these damaged vegetables on the spot, and this matter is not difficult to solve. Li Tian said lightly.
The villagers didn't say anything more when they saw that Li Tian, the boss, was coming, but they also consciously stood behind Li Tian to support him.
"Isn't it just a few baskets of rotten vegetables, thinking that Lao Tzu can't afford to pay for it?"
"We are engaged in breeding here, and we are earning hundreds of dollars every minute, and selling ten or eight chickens is enough to compensate you!" The little flat-headed Zhang Zhiyuan on the other side became more and more arrogant the more he talked.
Seeing that Da Chun couldn't help but make a move, Li Tian hurriedly stopped, "Let's be reasonable, don't destroy harmony at every turn." ”
"The big guy worked hard to gather all the vegetables that were damaged and couldn't be sold normally. ”
"It's still the same as yesterday, our wages are paid on the spot, and I don't think there are too many people!
The villagers immediately got busy, and in the blink of an eye, several large baskets of damaged vegetables had already been moved, more than Li Tian had estimated.
After weighing, it almost had to be more than 300 pounds.
Li Tian didn't feel distressed at all, today's output was much more than the previous one, which was enough to cope with the consumption of those restaurants, as well as Zhou Peng's purchase.
"Your vegetables will sell for three or four yuan a pound in the market at most, and I'll give you 1,000 yuan, right?"
"Isn't that what it's all about?" The little boss Zhang Zhiyuan, a little pretending, took out ten hundred-yuan bills from his crocodile brand wallet.
He deliberately shook it in front of everyone, and then threw it on the ground.
Li Tian didn't look at the money on the ground, squinted his eyes and slowly smoked a cigarette, and then said, "I'm afraid your money is not even enough for a fraction." ”
"What did you say?"
"Do you think that we don't understand the vegetable market if we are engaged in breeding, a thousand yuan is too much. ”
"Who knows if you'll sell these dishes again when you turn around!" Behind Zhang Zhiyuan, several other small bosses of breeding immediately shouted.
"You said it, compensate according to the market price. ”
"My dish is different from ordinary vegetables, not only is it big, but the price is ......"
"It's for restaurants and markets. Li Tian still spoke slowly.
"What if it's more expensive? Isn't it just a few baskets of rotten vegetables, what's the matter, you still want me to pay you 100,000 or 80,000?"
"It's really funny. When Zhang Zhiyuan shook his head and spoke, he showed the watch on his wrist again, for fear that others would not see it.
Li Tian was about to speak, and more than a dozen people were squeezed out of the crowd, and it was Zhou Peng who took the lead.
At this time, the sky is gradually brightening, and Zhou Peng is here to buy goods.
"Brother Li, what's the matter? Are you in trouble, why don't you squeak?" Zhou Peng knew that something was wrong at a glance, and stood next to Li Tian with a big grin, frowning and glaring at Zhang Zhiyuan and the others opposite.
"Isn't this Brother Peng? Zhang Zhiyuan is engaged in breeding here, and he usually runs to the town, so he knows Zhou Peng, knows that he is good at talking in the town, and there are dozens of brothers under his hands.
Zhang Zhiyuan immediately came over in a big way and gave a cigarette.
", don't get close to me, Lao Tzu is not familiar with you. Zhou Peng didn't get used to it at all, and directly pushed the other party away.
Then he said to Li Tian kindly, "Brother Li, what's going on, people like us are the most reasonable, if anyone wants to bully you, I, Zhou Peng, will not agree to the first one, you are our God of Wealth!"
Li Tian smiled, "Brother, don't be in a hurry to get angry, in fact, it's not a big deal, it's just that these vegetables I planted have destroyed a lot of their chickens, ducks and geese, and they are discussing compensation.....
"What?" Zhou Peng's eyes immediately widened when he heard this, and his fierce arrogance also appeared, staring at the beads of his eyes, and stretched out his hand to point at Zhang Zhiyuan, "Wang Ba Lizi, are you going to smash Lao Tzu's job?"
"You ask these brothers under me if they agree?"
"Beat him up, let him pretend to be forced!"
"These dishes are all our money-making capital, are we deliberately looking for trouble?" The people brought by Zhou Peng, all of them were fierce and vicious, and they immediately suppressed Zhang Zhiyuan and his gang, and the villagers behind them stopped squeaking.
"Don't, Brother Peng, I really didn't mean it, it's just that the workers under me didn't pay attention for a while. Zhang Zhiyuan wiped his cold sweat vigorously, and he didn't dare to show off his expensive watch.
I wondered in my heart, this guy named Li Tian in front of me was dressed like an old man collecting scraps, why was his prestige so high.
The people in the village supported him, and now even Zhou Peng, the tyrant in the town, spoke for him.
You have to have a good eye to do business, so the look on Zhang Zhiyuan's face softened a little, and he explained to Zhou Peng, "Brother Peng, I have already given money just now, I will give 1,000 yuan for 300 catties of vegetables, do you think he loses?"
Zhang Zhiyuan straightened his waist again when he said this.
"Rub!"
"What the are you going to beg for?" Zhou Peng kicked Zhang Zhiyuan's stomach, squinted his eyes at the banknotes scattered on the ground, glared at the beads of his eyes and said, "Do you know that these vegetables are all sold in the market?"
"Do you know that this basket of vegetables can be sold for 20,000 yuan on average?"
"What?" Zhang Zhiyuan held his stomach, and the whole person was stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning on the spot.
"Brother Peng, don't take you to be such a trick, don't joke, okay?"
"What kind of food can you sell this dish so expensive?" The corners of Zhang Zhiyuan's mouth twitched.
"You mean I'm blackmailing you? You don't go to the town to inquire, when did I, Zhou Peng, do such a thing?" Zhou Peng said as he threw the account book he brought with him on Zhang Zhiyuan's face.
The other brothers next to him also did the same thing, slapping Zhang Zhiyuan's face.
After reading the account book, Zhang Zhiyuan felt that he had been struck by lightning again, the one that was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
Zhang Zhiyuan's face turned red, his lips turned blue, and he trembled and got up, "Why is this dish so expensive?"
Zhang Zhiyuan nodded and began to apologize.
According to the algorithm on the ledger, these large baskets of vegetables are worth fifty or sixty thousand yuan, which is equivalent to his income for half a year. It's not that I can't afford to lose, it's mainly distressed!
"What the are you apologeizing to me?" The bitter master is here, tell you, if you don't handle this matter well today, Lao Tzu will not be finished with you!" Zhou Peng snorted.
Zhang Zhiyuan hurriedly came to Li Tian's eyes, "This brother, oh no, Mr. Li.... It's all my fault. You have a lot, don't be like me, admit that I really can't afford to lose, I apologize to you..."
"I can't afford it, what kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending?"
"Didn't you say we grow rotten vegetables?" Dachun and several of their villagers took the lead in coaxing, and they all felt that what had just happened was really long.
Is there any brawl?
Zhang Zhiyuan and the small bosses behind him looked at each other, and there was no longer the arrogance of Fang Cai, and the villagers behind him had already slipped away in fright, not wanting to provoke this to themselves.
"Brother, you can do it.
"Anyway, you are justified in what you say about this matter today, you say a price, I promise to let them spit out the money on the spot, if they can't spit it out, I will break their legs!"
Zhou Peng didn't want to let go of this opportunity to curry favor with Li Tian, so he patted his chest and made a guarantee, which scared Zhang Zhiyuan and them even more.
Li Tian thought for a few seconds, and then said with a smile, "It's all about trading, it's not easy for anyone, and besides, people didn't mean it, so I apologized....."
"That's it, I'm definitely not going to ask for this money, but after all, the villagers have been busy for a long time for the food here, and there must be a compensation......."..
"Aren't they engaged in breeding, and they gave me a hundred chickens, ducks and geese at cost price, and this matter will be settled today. ”
"Isn't that too cheap for them?"
"It's just that these things they raise now are not easy to sell, how much can they be worth?" The villagers felt that Li Tian was very generous, but at the same time a little stupid.
Zhang Zhiyuan and his small bosses immediately agreed, "No problem, we will find workers to count the number immediately, and we will definitely satisfy you!"
For them, these chickens, ducks and geese add up to less than 10,000 yuan, plus the chickens, ducks and geese they raise are not easy to sell, so this has minimized the loss, and they are naturally happy.
The villagers also followed to help, and after more than an hour, Zhou Peng and the others gave money, took fresh vegetables, and left satisfied, and Li Tian now has another property.
Although he lost some vegetables, Li Tian didn't feel that he had suffered a loss. These 300 chickens, ducks and geese are not too cheap and cheap. As for the vegetables that have been destroyed, the cost is quite low, not to mention that the yield is so high now, and the consumption in the town cannot keep up, and in the end it will still be wasted.
"What are you going to do with all these chickens, ducks and geese?" Liu Ningning made the accounts, counted the money, and sent it to Li Tian, with a curious look.
"Aren't we going to renovate the farmhouse?"
"What special dishes can there be in the northern farmhouse, it is nothing more than iron pot fish, firewood turkey, and another is stewed goose, and the whole roast duck is ....."
"Zhou Peng said just now, he has contacted some bosses in the city who want to come out to play, maybe they will come to dinner in the next two days, we have to prepare in advance, so as to save people from making a mess and ruining their reputation. Li Tian shook his head calmly.
"You guys really think long-term, no wonder you can be the boss!" Liu Ningning admired for a while.
These chickens, ducks and geese were simply stocked by a few experienced villagers. According to Li Tian's estimation, chickens, ducks and geese will definitely be the same as the fish in the pond, and the meat will be more delicious after eating the top vegetables, and maybe there is a little medicinal value, which is the real farmhouse feature.
When the busy work was over, and it was close to noon, Li Tian returned to his yard before he felt a burst of hunger in his stomach.
Originally, at this time, Li Duoyu's snack would definitely prepare a wild meal, although he usually didn't have much respect for Li Tian, the second uncle, to call him around, but it was essential to keep the meal.
However, Li Tian looked around the house, but there was nothing to eat, and Li Duoyu was not there.
'What's going on?' Li Tian thought that the little girl might have gone to find Liu Ruyan.
But when he came to Liu Ruyan's door, he found that the door was closed, and there was no one inside.
