The village chief's wife was apologetic, "I'm really embarrassed, I said that my daughter is not sensible and made you laugh at it, but I am serious about renting a house, the house is newly built by us, it is big and bright!" ”

Liu Jixiang nodded, "How much is it a year?" ”

The village chief's wife showed a look of embarrassment, "You also know, that house is newly built, and there are a few brick houses, if it weren't for my son not coming home in the town, I definitely wouldn't rent it to others, since we are all from the same village, I won't kill you for a year...... A tael of silver! ”

Liu Jixiang's face changed, "Mrs. Village Chief, you are not authentic, if I go to live in the town, it will only cost ten cents a night, and your house in a small mountain village will cost one or two silver, you are no different from robbing money, you just give a solid price, if you can rent, I will rent, if it really doesn't work, then let's forget it, I'll go to another house to ask!" ”

The village chief's wife was anxious, "Don't go, let's discuss, then you can tell me a price!" ”

"Five hundred wen a year, and I rented your house not to live in, but to make something, so you don't have to worry about the damage to the house!" Liu Jixiang's face was unusually firm.

The village chief's wife sighed and gritted her teeth for the last time, "Okay, I'll rent this house to you, but there is no evidence, we have to make a note, and you must give me this money now, otherwise I won't rent this house!" ”

It was the village chief's wife who asked herself for money first, was she afraid that she would live in his house for nothing and not give her money, cut, don't underestimate people.

Liu Jixiang also understood why the village chief's wife had such an idea, after all, she had a vicious mother-in-law, which really had to be guarded against.

But it's impossible to give all the money to others at once, what if the village chief's wife repents and suddenly kicks her out? And I don't want to return the money to him, what should I do? Is that your own money equivalent to a waste?

"The money can be given to you, but only half of it, and the remaining half will be given to you after a year of rent!" Liu Jixiang said bargainingly.

The village chief's wife's face changed, "That's it, then I'll rent it to you cheaply, but ...... You just said that you didn't rent our house for living, so what are you going to do? ”

Liu Jixiang thought about it and decided not to hide this matter, after all, making bamboo shoots is not something that can be done by herself, she has to hire a few people, so others will know sooner or later, and when she talks about the village chief's wife, maybe she can sell the village chief's wife a good one, and make it convenient for herself.

"I'm going to make some food, and I'm going to need to hire a few people then!" Liu Jixiang nodded slightly, and said lightly.

"How many people to hire? How many people do you need? A hint of excitement flashed on the village chief's wife's face, "I still have two daughters-in-law, if you don't dislike it......

"When I'm settled, you can let your daughter-in-law try it, and stay if you can!" Liu Jixiang stood up, "Then today's matter is settled, the village chief's wife, take me to see the house!" ”

The village chief's wife smiled happily and took Liu Jixiang to her son's newly built house, which was indeed good, and there were several blue brick houses, a large yard, a well and a small garden at the back.

Liu Jixiang liked this house very much, and decided without hesitation, and gave the village chief's husband 200 yuan on the spot, and after doing all this, she went to buy more than 100 large jars.

Early the next morning, Liu Jixiang cleaned up the yard, went to find the aunt who helped him last time, and said: "Auntie, I have a good job for you, I need bamboo shoots on the mountain, but I definitely can't get so many by myself, I need you to help me pick them back, don't worry, I won't let you help in vain, I'll give you a penny for five catties of bamboo shoots!" ”

"A penny?" Aunt Hua stood up, "Do you really give that much money?" You should know that there are a lot of bamboo shoots on the mountain, and I can pick hundreds of catties a day, which is more than 100 yuan! ”

Liu Jixiang nodded, "Of course, I can't lie to you, but the ugly words are in front, the bamboo shoots can't be too old, and the bamboo shoots must be intact, if the bamboo shoots are mutilated, I don't want them!" ”

Aunt Hua naturally agreed, in fact, picking bamboo shoots Liu Jixiang can also pick them by herself, although the picking is not much, but it is enough for her to use, and she can also let Liu Ruyi do it with her!

As for why she didn't do this, but handed over this work to the villagers, naturally she had her thoughts, on the one hand, Houshan belongs to the entire Xiushui Village, if she went to pick bamboo shoots, and let those villagers know that she was selling these bamboo shoots, what would the villagers think, would they make trouble?

Therefore, the bamboo shoots let those villagers pick, even if there is a conflict, it is the villagers themselves who make a conflict, and it has nothing to do with themselves!

After doing all this, Liu Jixiang went to the town again, bought more than 100 catties of coarse salt, and bought a few jars of sorghum wine, these two things were the most expensive, and it cost her a tael of silver.

When the placement was almost over, Aunt Hua also came back with bamboo shoots, Liu Jixiang used a borrowed scale, more than three hundred and twenty catties, and Liu Jixiang gave her sixty-five dollars.

Holding the copper plate flower lady, I really don't know what to say, "Thank you so much, then do you want bamboo shoots tomorrow?" ”

"Nature is wanted, and the more the merrier!" Liu Jixiang nodded, "Auntie, I believe in your personality, you can help me introduce a few skilled people, come over for fifty yuan a day to help me deal with bamboo shoots!" ”

When Aunt Hua heard this, she wanted to help Liu Jixiang deal with the bamboo shoots, but she also wanted to go to the mountains to pick bamboo shoots, and suddenly she was in a dilemma.

"That'...... Then I'll be cheeky and push my daughter-in-law to you, although my daughter-in-law has a pungent personality and is not good to me, but her hands and feet are nimble, and she is definitely not the kind of woman with many tongues! Aunt Hua said a little embarrassed.

Liu Jixiang thought that Aunt Hua didn't like her daughter-in-law, but now it seems that she was wrong, and she didn't like it, but no one couldn't get along with money, and she lived in vain for so many years, but she didn't expect to even be unable to see this clearly.

"As long as she's a good person and has quick hands and feet, then there's no problem!" Liu Jixiang agreed to this matter.

"Then I'll push you a few more, there are Aunt Wang from the head of the village, and Aunt Li, they are all very good......" Aunt Hua gushed endlessly: "But what are you doing with these bamboo shoots?" This thing is bitter garbage, and the pigs don't eat it! ”

Liu Jixiang smiled, "It's my own use, you just call those people and let them work early tomorrow morning!" ”

Aunt Hua nodded, and couldn't wait to inform those people, after all, 50 yuan a day is really rare.
