Chapter 30: A Mountain Town
"Sister-in-law, your village chief is not here, I am here to find him. β
Wu Bai didn't embarrass the woman, and asked the village chief directly.
The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little uncomfortable and said, "The village chief has gone to the neighboring village to run errands, and it is estimated that it will take more than an hour to come back. β
"Oh, no, we don't have a big deal, we'll come back when the village chief comes back. β
When Wu Bai saw this woman, he had a new plan, said something gently, and walked out with Meng Hanqiao.
Meng Hanqiao couldn't understand Wu Bai's intentions at all, so she could only follow behind, walking the village back and forth, and finally, she asked, "Manager Wu, didn't we come to find the village chief, why did you go to the market?"
"You'll find out in a moment. Wu Bai laughed, then walked to the stall to buy oranges and asked, "Boss, how do you sell these oranges?"
The old man who bought oranges saw Wu Bai asking the price and said, "Four yuan a catty, it's sweet, young man, do you want to buy some?"
"Then bring me a few pounds. β
Wu Bai said casually, then picked up an orange and broke it, ate two slices, it was really sweet, broke off two slices and handed them to Meng Hanqiao, "You can try it too, this orange is really sweet." β
Meng Hanqiao was a little flattered and took it and put it to his mouth, it was really sweet!
The old man saw that someone praised his oranges for their sweetness, and immediately smiled and squinted, "I didn't lie to you, we planted this orange ourselves, but it is sweet, so we can buy more if it is delicious, and when we go out, we can rarely buy such a natural and sweet orange Luo." β
Wu Bai laughed when he heard this: "Boss, you can really say, then give me ten catties! Take it back and I'll send it away." β
When the old man heard that this person wanted ten catties, he was even more happy, "Okay, I'll pick some of the sweetest ones for you." β
The old man quickly packed the oranges with his hands and feet, weighed, and added a few more to it after ten catties, "Forty yuan, I'm sending you a few heads." β
"Thank you, boss!" Wu Bai gave the money, took the oranges, and then asked casually: "By the way, boss, don't you grow herbs here, if I want to buy a batch of better goods, where are I going to buy them?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately said: "Go to the farmer's supply company, where the herbs are the most complete, and the quality is not bad, how much do you want, young man, if you have more, go to that company, they have a lot of medicinal materials recently and have not found a suitable buyer." β
Wu Bai was surprised: "Is it the agricultural supply company that came in from the village, their company is so big, I'm afraid there won't be many good goods left, right?"
When the old man heard this, he was a little anxious, and said: "Eh, young man, you don't know, something happened to us recently, in short, we were forced to end the cooperative relationship with a large company, and we lost a lot of money. β
Wu Bai saw that the old man said what he wanted to know, so he asked, "What's wrong?
"Eh, don't mention it, in short, it's all big guys fighting, and it's hurting the pond fish. β
The old man frowned, and he didn't really want to talk about it.
But how could Wu Bai just leave, "What kind of fight are the big guys fighting, what does this have to do with you medicine farmers?
Wu Bai's last sentence 'Is there no department in charge' successfully made the old man empathize, looked around, and said: "What departments are not departments, the rules set by those departments of the state are only to protect this land with good mountains, good water and good herbs, and we don't care about the sale of goods at all, besides, those people look fierce, and the groups that cooperate with us are all restrained by them, and we little people will suffer."
The cooperation has been canceled, and those people don't come to buy our herbs, even if they do, they will be a few yuan lower than the market price, don't look at a few dollars, the agricultural supply company is our whole village and even other villages together, every household can have bad medicinal materials squeezed, and now our village chief is not looking for channels everywhere, it is also very hard. β
Looking at the old man's sighing appearance, Meng Hanqiao felt a little uncomfortable, and said, "Since the medicinal materials can't be sold, why do you have to cancel the cooperation, or why don't you get back the previous company acquisition?"
The old man shook his head, "How can it be so simple, girl, you don't know, if we still cooperate with the previous group, then we don't want to be peaceful here." β
"Why?"
Meng Hanqiao was puzzled.
Wu Bai thought about it for a while, and thought that these people were afraid that they would not use any legitimate means, and asked, "Is it that the person who forced you to break the contract also sent someone to garrison here?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately looked around several times before he whispered: "Young man, you are so smart, I thought of it when I thought about it, but didn't it, those who killed a thousand knives called a gang of gangsters to stay on our side, and now there are not as many as before, but we don't dare to go to that group anymore, for fear of being harassed." β
When Meng Hanqiao heard this, he was very angry, and there were still people who were so blind and said, "Why don't you call the police?"
Meng Hanqiao's words made Wu Bai have to look at her, seeing her staring at the two ginkgo biloba big eyes, looking angry, she couldn't help but sigh, this little beauty must be twenty-six years old, it seems that she is still so naΓ―ve, calling the police, calling the police is useful, then these gangsters and gangsters and ruffians have long been extinct.
It's just a small town, if someone from the agricultural supply company called the police, the gangsters went in, but a week later they succeeded again, and when the time came, only these locals were retaliated against, and they all said that the little ghost was uncomfortable, and the villain was mistakenly provoked, and this is the truth.
"Girl, you are still too naΓ―ve, in short, it is useless to call the police on this matter. β
The old man didn't know what to say, and when he heard the innocent words of the girl in front of him, he guessed that these two people were probably not deeply involved in the world or were too protected by their families, and they had never seen the complexity of society.
"Okay, thank you boss, we know, then go and see the supply company, those guys shouldn't be embarrassed by us newcomers asking for cooperation, right?"
Wu Bai got what he wanted to know, and he was about to leave, but he had to do a full set of plays, and he asked with relatives before leaving.
The old man just wanted the supply company to sell all the medicinal materials, and when he saw someone who was interested, he was eager to take people over, but this behavior was rejected, and now when he heard Wu Bai's words, he immediately said: "No, no, they are only for the Hongyu Group, you can rest assured." β
There was eagerness in his tone, for fear that Wu Bai and they would regret it because of this.
