Chapter 34: Not a penalty

Ye Rong's iron-faced and ruthless appearance made Lao Liu's heart feel bad, it seems that Ye Rong will not be accommodating...... That large pile of timber, within three days, I am afraid that it must be moved, otherwise, it will be fined by Ye Rong! It can also be said to be the venue rental fee.

Lao Liu was lazy, and he didn't have much money at home, so he didn't want to pay for it......

So there's only one way to go, and that's to move the timber.

But...... That pile of wood, all poplars, has a total number of more than 100, an average diameter of 20 centimeters, a length of about 10 meters, and a total weight of at least twenty or thirty tons!

So much wood was all removed, and there was absolutely nowhere to store it!

So I can't move it at all......

Then there's one last path to choose from!

You don't have to move home, you can just use the car pallet to go to the timber market and sell it!

In fact, Lao Liu wanted to sell this pile of poplar wood a long time ago and exchange it for cash! But in recent years, the price of timber has depreciated significantly, and these poplars have grown for decades to grow to such a strong state. It turns out that a poplar can be sold for two or three hundred yuan, and more than 100 is twenty or thirty thousand.

But now the price of timber has depreciated, and no one has collected 100 yuan a piece...... There's no one to collect timber at all! The lower price, falling below 100 yuan, or the timber merchant, you can give some money casually, and pull all the timber away, there is no such situation of jumping off the building and selling it! There are no timber dealers coming to the village to buy timber!

These poplars, Lao Liu can't sell them if he wants to...... It's really repentant! I used to be able to buy twenty or thirty thousand, but now I can't sell it for ten thousand, plus the currency depreciation, I lost all the money to my grandmother's house!

Lao Liu was heartbroken, but he was helpless......

"Ye Rong ......"

Lao Liu could only continue to seek accommodation, "You give me some more time, and I will find an opportunity to sell them and make room for you." ”

"Lao Liu. It's really not good, I can't set this precedent for you, otherwise, ......" Ye Rong was also embarrassed, pointed to other messy things on campus, and continued: "I gave you accommodation, and then everyone asked me for accommodation, what should I do?" There are no rules, and I can't make an exception easily. ”

Lao Liu nodded helplessly, "That's what I said......"

"So be it."

A sly smile hung on Ye Rong's face, "It's not impossible for your wood to continue to be placed in my yard, it's not impossible to ......"

"Oh?" Lao Liu was overjoyed when he heard this, and it seemed that there was no place for a turnaround, so he hurriedly regained his enthusiasm and asked, "What should I do?" Can you keep the wood here? Lao Liu hurriedly added: "If it's a fine...... Lao Liu shook his head, unwilling to pay the money.

"Don't worry, it's not a penalty." Ye Rong smiled: "Old Liu, if I'm not mistaken, your ancestor should be Carpenter Liu, right?" ”

"Huh?" Lao Liu was shocked, "How do you know?" ”

Ye Rong smiled lightly, isn't this nonsense, he crossed over from 1949, what Lao Liu's ancestors did, of course I know.

Ye Rong only asked, "Lao Liu, I don't know if you can work as a carpenter?" ”

"Yes!"

Talking about the carpenter, Lao Liu immediately burst into flames and was very proud, "If you want to say that our Liu family carpenter, who doesn't know who doesn't know about these ten miles and eight towns?" Twenty years ago, how many people begged their grandfathers to tell their grandmothers that they wanted to learn a trade under my father's door! But my father only took in one apprentice, and that was me! I dare say I inherited all of my dad's carpentry skills! I dare to say that more than half of the families in the village have wooden furniture made by me and my father! Just ......"

As he spoke, Lao Liu shook his head gloomily, "In today's era, carpenters have also been eliminated...... People don't make furniture anymore, and the furniture they buy from the mall is beautiful and cheap......"

Lao Liu pointed to the wood, "That's the poplar tree that my father planted back then, and I originally planned to use this wood to continue to work as a carpenter, which is also a craft to support my family." But who would have thought that this wood would not be used, and my carpenter's tools, as well as the newly purchased chainsaw, have not been used for many years......"

"Lao Liu."

Ye Rong interrupted him to reminisce about the past, sighed at the complicated thoughts of the present, and said with a smile: "How about turning on your chainsaw, bringing your carpenter's skills into play, and buying me a set of furniture?" ”

"A set?"

Lao Liu was shocked, a set of furniture in the countryside is not one or two, but many!

These include large furniture: double wooden bed, wardrobe, cupboards, table......

Small furniture is also included: chairs, benches......

It's definitely a big deal!

Lao Liu looked bitter, "Ye Rong, don't tell me, I put the wood in your yard, you don't fine me money, but you want me to buy you a set of furniture for free?" Lao Liu made a simple calculation, "Let's not keep pace with the times, I won't give you a rise in wages and materials, just calculate it ten years ago, this set of furniture, the wages are at least a few thousand smaller, the material cost is also a few thousand smaller, and the total price is at least 5000, right?" ”

Lao Liu is about to collapse, "It's equivalent to ...... I put the timber in your yard, and you fined me 5,000 yuan? My God, Ye Rong, you're just cheating me! I'll find a way to sell this pile of wood in three days......"

"You can do it yourself." Ye Rong said that there was no problem, and his set of furniture was not rare.

Lao Liu was speechless......

Ye Rong is a pit goods, and the pit does not pay for his life! Even if it is to collect land rent, it is not so expensive! 5,000 yuan can contract a primary school for 5 years!

Lao Liu was so hateful that he left angrily!

But......

He wasn't sure he would be able to sell the pile of timber in three days...... So I can't tear my face with Ye Rong yet.

It seems that only compromise?

Or is it a day to drag it out?

Since Ye Rong is so pitiful, you are unkind and unjust!

Lao Liu seemed to have thought of a way to deal with him, and suddenly smiled again, and said, "Ye Rong, then I'll build you a small bench first!" After all, I am a farmer, there are many busy farms, and there are very few idle times, and I am afraid that a set of furniture will take a year or two to complete......"

Right!

It's just one word: drag!

Drag a day is a day!

Let's make some small furniture for Ye Rong first and drag on time!

Then seize the opportunity and after selling the wood, you can tear up the verbal agreement and stop him from continuing to build big furniture, so that the loss can be minimized!

Lao Liu said with a smile: "Then my wood will be left there first, and I will build a small bench and send it to you." ”

"It's fine." Ye Rong actually agreed indifferently.

This made Lao Liu change his opinion slightly, and it seems that he is not so pitiful......

"Ye Rong, seeing that you promised so happily, I'll build you two small benches!"

"Thank you very much."

Ye Rong watched Lao Liu leave.

How could the little Jiujiu Yerong in Lao Liu's heart not know?

It's just because Ye Rong's new home has just begun to develop, everything has to be accumulated from scratch, accumulated since childhood, and Lao Liu can't be forced to be in a hurry, otherwise the two small benches will be gone.

First put away the two small benches, and then Lao Liu's wood was not moved for a day, and Ye Rong would be able to let him make more furniture...... This is a sustainable path.

Maybe you can make up a whole set of furniture, even if you can't make it all, it's good to make half a set.

……

Not long after Lao Liu left, a second villager came to the door.

And not alone, but with another person, and in a pickup truck.

The person who came claimed to be the boss of the Qin family.

The other person was a medicinal herb merchant who came to buy medicinal herbs, and the pickup truck was there to load medicinal herbs.

Ye Rong knew that according to Xie Dazui, the commissary, a bunch of medicinal materials on campus, the medicinal herbs were called skullcap, which were the medicinal materials of the boss of the Qin family.

But Ye Rong had only seen the second deputy village elder among the Qin family brothers, and the fourth elder who was very good at climbing trees, but the eldest had never seen him......

So I can't confirm whether this person is the boss of the Qin family?

Don't make a mistake at that time, someone else took the medicinal materials of the Qin family boss, sold them, and was taken away, how could Ye Rong explain to the real Qin family boss? I'm sure I'm going to lose money!

So, you must confirm the identity of the visitor first!

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Ye Rong saw the two people park the pickup truck next to a large pile of skullcap medicinal herbs under the waterproof poncho, lift the waterproof poncho, and the medicinal herb merchant began to check the color of the medicinal materials, and negotiated the price, ready to start loading.

Ye Rong stepped forward, stopped the two, and asked, "Who is the boss of the Qin family?" Show me my ID card, I want to confirm my identity, don't make a mistake. ”

"I am."

A lean middle-aged man replied, "You are Ye Rong?" ”

Ye Rong nodded.

The lean middle-aged man immediately began to complain, "Tell me about you, it's awesome to contract Hope Primary School?" There is a time limit of three days, otherwise the fine will ......" He glanced at the medicinal herb merchant, "The current market for skullcap medicinal materials is not good, and I want to press it for a little longer, and then sell it when the price rises." Now you're forced to sell ...... now."

The lean middle-aged man handed Ye Rong his ID card, and it was indeed the boss of the Qin family.

After confirming his identity, Ye Rong had nothing to do, and asked casually: "How much is a pound of skullcap now?" ”

"$4."

The boss of the Qin family continued to complain, "I paid 8 yuan last year, but today it has fallen by half!" Lost money! ”

"You can continue to hold on and sell it when the price is high." Ye Rong continued to find a way to develop this newly established home, intending to scavenge something useful from the Qin family boss as well.

"No need."

Unexpectedly, the boss of the Qin family refused, "The buyers have all been found, just sell it." If you put it here, you may be fined. ”

Ye Rong said with a smile: "A fine doesn't have to be a fine, as long as it's something valuable." ”

Ye Rong heard that the boss of the Qin family is a big cultivator of medicinal herbs, such as the land of the ancestral tomb of the Ye family, which is now the medicine land of the boss of the Qin family. It was also because the boss of the Qin family did not agree that the Ye family moved to a new cemetery.

Planting medicinal herbs seems to be a new trend in the new countryside.

Ye Rong wandered around the fields near the village and found that there were really a lot of medicinal herbs planted. I heard that farmers basically don't plant winter wheat anymore, and the reason why corn is planted in a large area today is because last autumn and winter were bumper harvests, and the planting time of winter wheat was missed, so today it is all planted with corn. And interplant medicinal seeds in the corn field, and after the corn is received, it is directly the medicine field.

It is conceivable that next year will be another bumper year for medicinal herbs!

After Ye Rong contracted Hope Primary School, he really wanted to do something. But no matter what kind of business you do, located in the old village deep in the mountains, you will definitely be inseparable from the farmers and fields here.

Next year's harvest year for medicinal herbs may be an opportunity.

Therefore, Ye Rong plans to understand the basic situation of medicinal materials, and this basic situation is something valuable.

As long as the boss of the Qin family tells Ye Rong about the basic situation of the medicinal materials, his family's medicinal materials can continue to stay on the campus of the primary school and wait for the price to rise before selling.
