Chapter Forty-Eight: The Liar Who Came to Harvest Chili Peppers
After a while, the brother and sister went to play on the street again. Zhang's father and mother didn't say anything about the rumors outside, 'only to see the mud on their legs when they got out of the water' was what they taught Zhang Feng, and they also saw that their eldest son was a genius.
He learned to operate on people by reading books on his own, and they didn't believe that his eldest son would be beaten up in the future.
Time passed unhurriedly, during which Zhang Feng also took Zhang Xiaomei and Zhang Xiaodi to Heshang Park to see the monkeys a few times.
More than 20 days after Zhang Feng counted that the thread of Wang Jiaoxue's incision had been dismantled, the loudspeaker in the courtyard of the village brigade began to sound the radio sound of Zhang Chunchang, the village party secretary of Zhangcun Village, from time to time.
The content is nothing more than to tell the villagers of Zhangcun that there are foreign merchants in the courtyard of the brigade to collect chili peppers, the difference is only the price, but the difference is not too big, at that time, Zhang Village and several nearby villages are planting chili peppers in a large area.
Therefore, every time the pepper is ripe, there will be a lot of foreign merchants who come to this village to collect the pepper to sell.
Every time they go to a village, these foreign merchants will find a local person to help them collect, of course, this will help them collect peppers will also have some benefits, generally help them collect a pound to give a few cents, although to help them collect a pound only a few cents, but the merchants from other places are driving large trucks.
They also collect more chili peppers, so the locals who help can also make a lot of money. This is a good thing for mutual benefit, after all, there is a local snake to help, and foreign merchants can also save a lot of trouble.
Therefore, helping foreign merchants like this is a good errand that everyone wants to rob, and the village cadres near the water will take advantage, because when the foreign merchants come to an unfamiliar village, they will definitely find the village cadres first.
Zhang Village is a poor village, so most of the messengers were snatched up by Zhang Chunchang, the number one village party secretary in the village.
The villagers can only get this messenger when someone they know knows comes to the village to harvest chili peppers.
As the head of the village, Zhang's father has known many merchants over the years, and Lu Suli's father is one of them, but this year, I don't know what's going on, this pepper can be harvested, and I haven't seen Lu's father come to Zhang Village.
In previous years, he came before the big harvest, after all, he wanted to know the harvest of chili peppers and the market situation that year.
Zhang Feng didn't look forward to Father Lu coming, because he was weak-hearted, and he was afraid that Father Lu would bring Lu Suli in case.
Although Zhang Feng didn't promise anything to Lu Suli, some things can't be agreed on just in words, right?
Now that Zhang Feng has exchanged handkerchiefs with other girls, he has set the 'matchmaker', and he will not be weak when he sees Lu Suli again. He dared not to be weak-hearted.
Don't look at this thing blowing very blistering, what is the love, Lu Suli doesn't need to do anything to him, it is estimated that Lu Li only needs to stand in front of Zhang Feng's body, and look at her with her beautiful big eyes full of grievances, Zhang Feng's goods will surrender 100%, and it has to be the foundation of begging for mercy and begging for mercy.
So Zhang Feng prayed that Father Lu would not come, even if he came, he would not bring Lu Suli with him, now it seems that his prayer still has some effect, at least until now, Father Lu has not come.
Zhang Feng happened to be standing beside Zhang's father, listening to the sound of the broadcast in the loudspeaker with Zhang's father, Zhang Feng suddenly heard Zhang's father say: "This year, Lao Zhao collects chili peppers, the price is not right, according to the market of the year, Lao Zhao collects chili peppers like this, and it is estimated that he will have to lose money after receiving it." It seems that what he said is true, well, it's still not right, there's something weird about it. ”
Zhang Feng hurriedly asked; "What's wrong Dad?"
"Well, that's the thing." After a while, Zhang Feng figured out what was going on.
There is a boss surnamed Zhao who collects chili peppers in a city, and now he collects it at the normal price of two cents and a catty, and there should be villagers to sell it.
But four days ago, he had a minivan drive in, claiming that he had found a place where he could harvest a lot of chili peppers at a relatively high price. He took a small truck at the price of four cents a pound.
He also said that the place needed a large amount of chili peppers, so he urgently needed to buy a large number of chili peppers in this area of Zhangcun, and he asked the villagers of Zhangcun to pick all the chili peppers they could in their own fields, and he collected a large number of chili peppers at a price twice the general price.
But four days ago, the villagers didn't quite believe what he said, because if they picked all the peppers they could pick in their fields, in case Boss Zhao didn't want it, it would be bad.
Because the peppers picked from the ground can only be left at home for three days at most before they go bad and rot. As for the big trucks that come to the village to collect chili peppers, sometimes they come a few a day, and sometimes they don't come for three or five days.
Therefore, four days ago, the villagers would never have picked all the peppers that could be picked in the field.
This Boss Zhao is also strange, he has been here for four days in a row to collect a small truck of chili peppers at a price twice the regular price.
Most of the villagers believed it today, and this Boss Zhao asked Zhang Chunchang, the village party secretary, to help him collect the chili peppers, so just now Zhang Chunchang shouted on the loudspeaker of the brigade to all the villagers to go to their respective fields to pick all the chili peppers that could be picked, and Lao Zhao would open the price at a price twice as high as the regular price.
After Zhang Feng figured it out, he sneered and said to Zhang's father: "Dad, you and my mother don't go to our field to pick chili peppers, I guess this old Zhao is a liar." ”
Father Zhang turned his head and looked at his eldest son carefully and said, "Okay, your father and I really let go of your heart, no matter where you go in the future, it is estimated that it will not be easy to make you suffer." ”
"Although your dad can't see what trick Lao Zhao wants to play now, your dad knows that I must not listen to him go to the field to pick chili peppers."
Zhang Feng smiled and said, "Dad, I think that Lao Zhao has left our village now, and I will definitely not see him until the large number of chili peppers harvested in our village today are about to go bad." ”
Father Zhang patted his thigh, pointed at Zhang Feng and smiled; "Good boy, shrewd enough, I can see before your father that Lao Zhao has been fishing a few days ago. This old boy is yin enough. ”
Zhang Feng said in his heart, Dad, you are really shrewd, your son and I have just heard such a fraud many times in my previous life, and I have a prescient awareness, Dad, you are really smart.
This is a very simple trick, from today onwards, the villagers of Zhang Village will definitely put a large number of chili peppers that have just been picked today.
In the past two days, other merchants who collect chili peppers have come to Zhang Village to collect chili peppers, and the villagers are greedy for the double price given by Boss Zhao, so they will not sell it.
Because the villagers still hope to take advantage, but will the sky rain RMB?
When three days later, when the peppers picked today were about to be all bad, and the villagers realized that Boss Zhao might not come again, they wanted to dispose of the peppers they had put at home, but there was a great possibility that there were no merchants in the village who collected the peppers.
Because there is no pattern for the merchants who come to the village to collect chili peppers, sometimes several merchants can come at a time, and it is more likely that there is no merchant to collect chili peppers for several days.
So most of the villagers were desperate, and then Boss Zhao would fall from the sky, come with several large trucks, and open a large number of peppers.
But at this price, it can't be four cents a catty, and it is impossible to pay a pound to a normal two cents a catty, it is estimated that this batch of peppers that are about to spoil can be collected for five cents a catty, even if Boss Zhao finds out with his conscience.
Do you say that at that time, did the villagers sell chili peppers or not? If you don't sell it, the large pile of chili peppers at home will definitely rot, and you can only throw them into the garbage heap, and it is estimated that most of them can only be sold to Boss Zhao by pinching their noses.
The villagers are typical of taking advantage of small advantages and suffering big losses. Because Boss Zhao just drove a small truck and collected chili peppers for four days at the price of four cents a catty.
And when this large batch of chili peppers was about to go bad, he Boss Zhao collected several large truckloads of chili peppers at a very low price.
At that time, he Boss Zhao pulled these big truckloads of hot peppers that were about to go bad to the cold storage that was contacted in advance in the western suburbs of Dongxing County for storage, and sold them according to good peppers in winter. He's making a fortune.
But at this time, Zhang's father could not use the loudspeaker in the village to shout and prevent the villagers from picking chili peppers in their respective fields.
Let's not talk about Zhang Chunchang, the number one village party secretary who helped Boss Zhao collect chili peppers, so he didn't let Zhang's father shout with the loudspeaker in the village, but he asked Zhang's father to also shout with the loudspeaker in the village.
But do the villagers of Zhangcun, who have been swept away by the renminbi, believe it?
I guess they won't believe it. It is very likely that Zhang's father has ulterior motives.
As for going to the police station to report the case, it is just like what Wu Mingkai's grandson said. His Boss Zhao's practice did not violate any of the current laws or regulations in China. Or maybe he's taking advantage of the current law.
Zhang's father and son, who figured out the original end of the matter, looked at each other and smiled at each other and said at the same time, manpower is sometimes exhausted, what do you love, what is it, what is it, people who want to take advantage of it always have to suffer a little loss to remember that it is not.
What should Zhang's father and son do next, Zhang's father just told a few villagers who have a good relationship not to go to the field to pick chili peppers and go about his own business. The Zhang family will definitely not go to the field to pick peppers.
Zhang Feng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly went to inform him that the 'ordinary big' family with a good relationship should not let their respective families go to the field to pick chili peppers. As for whether their respective families listen or not, Zhang Feng can't worry about it.
However, judging from the fact of this incident, all the three or twenty families notified by Zhang Feng, including those notified by Zhang's father, did not go to the field to pick chili peppers, which can be regarded as a slight supplement to this matter. Needless to say, these dozens of families are grateful to the Zhang family and his son.
Ask for collections, ask for tickets!
