Chapter 160: Take it
Li Dong came to Du Gensheng's house again, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw a few more sheep in the cowshed next to him, I don't know why, Li Dong always felt that these sheep were familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere.
"Grandpa, where are you in the house? Du Gensheng shouted and entered the house, and finally found his grandfather on the kang in the back room.
"Distinguished guest, what kind of distinguished guest can we come?" the old man said lightly, while picking up the cup and taking a sip of wine, this is home-brewed rice wine, the taste and aroma are not high, drink a glass when eating, and even ordinary meals can be eaten deliciously.
Li Dong, who was still in the outhouse, stopped when he heard Du Gensheng's grandfather's voice, and when he continued to walk into the inner room and saw the old man sitting on the kang, he suddenly remembered why the sheep outside were familiar, isn't this the old man who smoked a cigarette bag and pot he saw in the middle of the mountain when he entered the village?
"Uncle, let's meet again. Li Dong said with a smile, no wonder when he talked about contracting land before, the other party let him go, it turned out that the other party was the village head, and he could really make decisions for the whole village.
"Why haven't you left yet?" the old man frowned when he saw Li Dong, showing that he did not welcome Li Dong.
"Grandpa, do you know?" Du Gensheng looked at his grandfather and the newly met Brother Li strangely, didn't Grandpa go out to herd sheep and just came back, how could he know Brother Li?
"When I entered the village, I met with the old man, and it was the old man who persuaded me not to contract the land in your village. Li Dong didn't hide it, after saying to Du Gensheng, he looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, I walked around the village just now, you are right, the cultivated land in your Shicheng Village is indeed not suitable for contracting, so I have decided not to contract the cultivated land in your village, and I am going to contract a cave to build a fishery breeding base." ”
"Cave, Fishery Breeding Base?" The old man was stunned, he was still talking about land contracting when he met just now, how could he talk about fish farming after such a while? This span is too big.
"Grandpa, it's the cave you used to take me to. Du Gensheng said excitedly, "Brother Li ate the fish I caught from there, and thought it tasted very good, so he went to the cave to take a look, he thought that the environment there was very good for fishery farming, and hoped to sign an agreement with our village to contract it for fishery farming." ”
For as long as he can remember, Shicheng Village has been a place where birds don't, after so many years, there has been no change at all, he knows that it is the remote location that hinders the development of the village, and now that someone is finally willing to invest in the village, of course he is very happy.
After hearing this, the old man looked at Li Dong for a while, and then said, "Young man, do you really want to engage in fishery farming, or do you have another purpose?"
Another purpose? This time it was Li Dong's turn to be stunned, could it be that the old man had guessed the purpose of his trip?
Isn't it impossible, he didn't tell anyone about this, how could the other party know?
Bluffing, yes, it must be bluffing!
"Uncle, you should know more about the situation in Shicheng Village than I do, even if I want to take advantage of your Shicheng Village, then I have to take advantage of it. Li Dong said with a wry smile, thinking that this old man's vigilance is too high, right? No wonder it has not changed for so many years.
"That's it!" said Lin Hai, "in the case of your village, what is there to take advantage of? Is there gold in the ground, or is there money in the trees? ”
"Don't mind, two big brothers. Du Gensheng hurriedly said, "My grandfather just asked casually, and there was absolutely no malice." After speaking, he turned around and kept glancing at his grandfather, for fear of giving these two gods of wealth angry.
"You're right. The old man said lightly, "Our Shicheng Village is indeed remote, and the road is not easy to walk, in this case, why do you still come to our village to do contracting? You are businessmen, businessmen are unprofitable and cannot afford to be early, you said before that you came to contract the land, the land is not contracted, and you come to contract the cave, saying that there is no other purpose, who believes it?"
Lin Hai was choked all of a sudden, in fact, he didn't understand Brother Dong's intentions, but Brother Dong didn't tell him, he could only be confused, Du Gensheng also looked at Li Dong at this time, the words were not rough, what Grandpa said still has some truth, there are so many villages in Dongshan, there are many lands, and there are convenient transportation, why do you have to come to this place where birds don't to invest?
Li Dong smiled, pointed to Du Gensheng on the side and said, " In fact, the Gensheng brothers have said very clearly, at the beginning, I took a fancy to your environment here, there are mountains and waters, away from pollution, very suitable for planting medicinal materials, since listening to your words, and seeing that there is really not much land in your village, I was ready to leave, but at this time, I ate the fish made by the Gensheng brothers, the taste of this fish is really good, I have never eaten outside, now the city people are not short of money, what is lacking is delicious things, so I think, the cave is very valuable, if the river of the cave is used to raise fish, artificially put fish fry, grow in a pure natural environment, then there is no difference from wild fish, it will definitely be able to sell for a good price, maybe this is the so-called: Seon lost his horse and knows whether it is a blessing!"
"That's good!" Du Gensheng raised his hand to applaud, then looked at his grandfather sitting on the kang and said, "Grandpa, you agree, contract that cave to Brother Li, anyway, that cave is not of much use to our village, it is better to earn some contract money, and send something to the villagers during the New Year's Festival, you are not in vain as the old village chief, and I will take over in the future, and the villagers will also remember your good and vote for me." ”
The old man took chopsticks, sandwiched the peanuts in the plate, and put them into his mouth one after another.
Seeing his grandfather's unhurried appearance, Du Gen sat on the edge of the kang anxiously, looked at his grandfather and said, " Grandpa, you have been the village chief in our village for so many years, our village has not changed at all, although there are factors in the geographical location of our village, but I think the most critical problem is because your thinking is too conservative, you go out to see, what has become of the world outside the mountain, the building is higher than the mountain in front of our house, but what about us here, everything is the same as when I was a child, you go to the village for a walk, except for those who can't walk old, and those who can't walk out, who wants to stay in the villageTo put it mildly, grandpa, you are old, your thinking is too old, anyway, you want me to take over, it is better to let me be the home of our village now, even if the New Year is just a bag of rice, the meaning is stronger than now. ”
The old man put the chopsticks on the table with a calm face, and Du Gensheng was startled, and quickly stood up from the edge of the kang, looking cautious.
"Grew up, didn't you, your wings stiffened?" the old man glared at Du Gensheng and scolded.
"Ahem, no, no. Du Gensheng whispered while hiding behind Li Dong, "I just think that the villagers have lived a very hard life in this ravine for so many years, our old Du family has been the village chief for so many years, even if it doesn't bring anything good to the villagers, don't hinder others from bringing the whole village to get rich, right? Besides, Brother Li said, after the fishery is built, let me be the person in charge of the fishery, and in the future, the fishery needs people to work, and it will all be found from our village......"
The old man held his breath, and his gaze gradually shifted from his grandson to Li Dong, "Are you so kind?"
"I'm not that kind. Li Dong said, "So we can sign a short contract, let me work here for a few years first, see how the effect is, if I lose money, I will also leave, after all, my money is not blown by the wind." ”
Li Dong knew that the old man was vigilant, if it was all good words, the other party's vigilance would be higher, and some unpleasant words made people think that he was a person who saw money, which would reduce the old man's vigilance against him.
Sure enough, the old man's expression softened a little, and he picked up the cigarette bag and pot from the kang head, lit it and smoked it again.
"Grandpa, don't smoke, you have something to say, you don't let me work outside, let me come back to take over your shift, you have to give me a chance to perform, I don't want to be the head of an uninhabited village." Du Gensheng said, since he can't leave this village, he can only toss in this village, otherwise he will have no place to use all his strength.
The old man smoked while looking at the sky outside, and his grandson's words said that he felt a sore spot in his heart, after being the village chief for so many years, the village has not changed at all, and there are fewer people, and it is a shame to say it.
After a few minutes, the old man turned around, looked at Li Dong and said, "How much contract money do you plan to pay?"
Du Gensheng's face was happy, and his grandfather finally agreed.
Li Dong also smiled, looked at the old man and said, "Uncle, how is the fishing ground, whether it can make money, it is still unknown, you let me take more, I will definitely not do it, if I take less, you will definitely not do it, I don't think it is as good as this, every year in the spring and Dragon Boat Festival, each household has a small bag of rice and a small bag of noodles, twenty catties, if the fishing ground is really profitable in the future, the small bag will be replaced with a big bag, do you think it's okay?"
The old man calculated in his heart, a small bag of rice and a small bag of rice noodles must add up to 100 yuan, the whole village is 46 households, two cents a year, that is, more than 9,000 yuan, and a broken cave can be rented out more than 9,000 yuan a year, which is much more cost-effective than contracting out those cultivated land.
"Okay, then it's decided!" the old man knocked the cigarette bag and pot to the edge of the kang, and then got off the kang, "Follow me to the village committee."
Li Dong was overjoyed in his heart, and it was done!
This bluestone river is his!
