Chapter 259: Cooperation (3)
Ruan Yuping listened and glanced at Li, and Li hurriedly took out the bag that had been pinching in his hand and put it on the table. I took the outer bag again, and only then did I reveal the three bags inside.
That's right, that's what Sun Yunxue gave before. However, this also shows that Li and Ruan Yuping are very careful, for fear that something will go wrong with the seeds, and they should protect them well.
Opening the bag, Ye Feng put his hand in, pinched it, and let the seeds flow like fine sand between his fingers.
After checking the seeds, Ye Feng said happily: "Well, these seeds are good, the grains are full, and there are no insects, I agree to exchange." It's just that you or your aunt can call the shots? If this kind of seed is exchanged, I will plant it all. When the time comes, even if you want to regret it, it's too late. ”
What Ye Feng didn't say was that if there was any unhappiness because of this, it would be bad. Seeds are definitely the kind of things that can't be returned as soon as they go out.
Hearing this, Li hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I will naturally be able to call the shots in this family." Besides, this kind of son was rewarded by the emperor to Yuping's girl, she said okay, then okay. ”
Not to mention that the Ruan family has long been separated, even if there is none, this kind of son belongs to her daughter, naturally Yuping and her have the final say, and others have no right to interfere.
But when Gong heard this, he was dissatisfied. However, thinking that his ultimate goal was still those immortal fruits in Ye Feng's hands, he was relieved again, and he wanted to get the seeds wholeheartedly.
Therefore, how do a few people know, it is only a few seconds, Gong's inner activities are extremely rich, and he has thought of countless possibilities, denying himself, the best, and affirming himself.
This touching logic alone can make people faint.
Ye Feng listened and said, "This is the best." How many Longevity Fruits do you want to exchange these seeds for? It's okay, you just say it. If I can accept it, the exchange will be done. ”
To be honest, the Li family and Ruan Yuping really hadn't thought about how to exchange, and they didn't even know if Ye Feng could agree. Now that Ye Feng said this, they didn't know how to answer.
Thinking that Sun Yunxue had gone out with Ye Feng just now, Ruan Yuping knew that Sun Yunxue had definitely helped her say good things just now. However, he can't take advantage of Ye Feng because of this.
After thinking about it, Ruan Yuping said briskly: "I won't tell you, we really haven't thought about it." In this way, you often do business, you watch and do, and we accept as much as you give. ”
Ruan Yuping felt that no matter how much she and the Li family said, it was not appropriate, so it was better to leave it directly to Ye Feng to decide. Moreover, Ruan Yuping knew Ye Feng's character, and she was sure that Ye Feng would not treat herself badly.
Ye Feng didn't expect that this problem would be pushed to him in the end, and after thinking about it, he smiled: "Since my aunt and sister Yuping believe in me like this, then I will tell the truth." It's true that these seeds can't be bought, but I'm probably the only one in the country who knows how to grow them. As for the longevity fruit, as you know, there are not many in the country now, and only a few counties have them. ”
Ye Feng's words are understood by everyone, first, it shows that although Yuping's seeds are precious, they can only play the greatest role when they come to him. Second, the seeds of longevity are equally precious, no less than these three new seeds.
"You can go to the shops on the commercial street and inquire, the price of the longevity fruit is about thirteen taels of silver a catty. For the sake of Sister Yuping's face, I will give you twenty catties of seeds in exchange. Of course, there is another way, that is, I will only give you ten catties, and you can try the things grown from these new seeds as soon as possible in the future. ”
Whether it is watermelon or grapes, it is an extremely delicious fruit, and it is unforgettable when you taste it. So Ye Feng didn't want to take advantage of them, so he kindly reminded them. If they want to taste the new crops when they are ripe, Ye Feng is also very welcome.
Ruan Yuping and Li were a little surprised, even overjoyed. What they thought was that Ye Feng would give them five or six catties at most, but now Ye Feng gave them twenty catties, which was simply an unexpected joy.
Twenty catties of long-lived fruit seeds are two hundred and sixty taels of silver according to the market price. And as Ye Feng said, no matter how novel these new seeds are, because no one can plant them except him.
However, the Ruan family is now very short of silver. If you can get this money, then the living conditions of the Ruan family can be greatly improved. Moreover, Ruan Yuping and the Li family have always planned to buy a shop in the city, since this is the case, then they can buy a shop when they get the silver.
Although her cooking skills with Li's are very ordinary, Yuping's grandmother Mu's hand-rolled noodles is a must. When the time comes, it is okay to ask her elderly to help or teach them to do it.
No matter how bad it is, you can still rent it out.
Therefore, when they heard Ye Feng ask if they didn't regret it, Li and Yuping said in unison: "That's it." We'll just need twenty pounds of seeds, and it's cheap. ”
As for trying something new, forget it.
In this way, under the witness of Sun Yunxue, Ye Feng accepted the three new seeds brought by Yuping, asked a few people to wait, and turned around and went to the shop opened by the Ye family. After a while, when I came back, I had an extra cloth bag in my hand.
Ye Feng handed the bag to the Li family and said, "Auntie, this is twenty catties of immortal fruit seeds, you take it." ”
Hearing this, Li carefully took the cloth bag, as if he had received some rare treasure.
Seeing this, Gong and He's eyes lit up even more, and they were very excited. That is, Li and Yuping both paid attention to the bag and did not see Gong's eyes. If you see it, you'll be shocked.
Gong's eyes were simply naked greed, without any disguise.
However, this is not something that Ye Feng can manage, let alone help in any way.
After a few more pleasantries, Li asked, "By the way, can you still plant at this time?" I originally wanted to come a few days ago, but there was a delay at home. You also know that you have to hold a banquet and hang a plaque. ”
It is also necessary to make a marriage.
If you can't plant it now, you'll have to wait another year.
But Ye Feng said: "It's okay, even next month." We've experimented here with fresh longevity fruit to sell in October and November. However, it should not be more than July. ”
When Li heard this, he didn't know what to say, and he said thank you and the like. Today's harvest was so great that not only did I succeed in getting the seeds, but I was able to plant them immediately when I went back.
Then, Li and Ruan Yuping seriously inquired about the planting methods and precautions of the longevity fruit, for fear of missing any details. Ye Feng naturally didn't hide his secrets, and told the planting experience of the longevity fruit one by one, and also said some taboos.
When the two glasses of water were drunk, the Li family took their leave.
Ye Feng thought about it, then called Sun Yunxue over and said to her, "It's too late to go back now, let them live in the empty house in the Salesian Bureau tonight." Ladies and gentlemen, I still have something to do, and I won't be here tomorrow morning. However, if there is anything in the future, you can come directly to me. ”
Ye Feng's words, but Li understood them. In other words, if they have any problems during the planting of longevity fruit in the future, they can come to consult.
It just so happened that Sun Yunxue also meant this.
Now there are many tourists, although there are a few empty rooms in the Lotus Inn, but they don't dare to fill them all, after all, I don't know if there will be guests tonight.
In this way, several people thanked Ye Feng again and followed Sun Yunxuan and Chen Qianguo to the Salesian Bureau.
Previously, the rooms above the second floor of the Salesian Bureau were simply renovated because of the limited time available and only temporary accommodation for the volunteers.
When the first batch of volunteers returned to their hometowns and went to various counties to help work and establish a local volunteer group, Ye Feng found someone to redecorate the place. Moreover, both the materials and the style are in accordance with the design of the Lotus Inn. Therefore, the level of comfort is no less than that of the Lotus Inn.
The most important thing is that each room here is designed to have its own toilet and washing space in each room, just like the Lotus Inn, which is unique in the whole Qingshan County and even the whole country.
In this time and space, there are basically dry toilets in rural areas, and the better conditions are those like Chenjia Village, where large manure pits similar to biogas digesters are designed. In the city, at most, a separate room is used as a thatched house.
You know, it's okay in the summer, but the benefits of this design are evident in the winter. On a cold day, you don't need to go outside the house to run at all, you can solve the problem inside.
And because the materials used are high-quality and the design is reasonable, there is no smell at all.
It's just that it took a lot of effort to design this feature in the first place. PVC pipes, which are now ubiquitous and very convenient, are nowhere to be found here. And many of the materials in this plane can't be used, and the technology is not up to par.
In the end, the village spent a lot of money to replace the PVC pipe with a pottery pipe, which made Ye Feng's idea. When it was built, I was surprised by those craftsmen, and I felt that such a design could only be thought of by people like Ye Feng.
It's so convenient.
Now, all the newly built houses in Chenjia Village basically adopt this design. Of course, those who like courtyard houses or feel that this hinders feng shui are still not needed.
Sun Yunxue thought about it, and let the three of them live in two rooms. One for Ho and Gong, one for Lee and Ruan Yuping. After placing several people and talking about the location of the carriage, Sun Yunxuan and Chen Qianguo walked to the village.
At this moment, the night was thick and the moon was not bright, so Chen Qianguo mustered up the courage to step forward and take Sun Yunxue's hand and walk forward. Sun Yunxue suddenly felt a sense of sweetness welling up in her heart, turned around and touched Chen Qianguo's face, and then took his hand and walked back.
As soon as He and Gong entered the room, Gong felt that his eyes were not enough to see, and for a while he felt that the paintings on the wall were so beautiful, and the paintings looked like real ones. After a while, I fussed that the bed was so soft that I didn't want to move when I lay on it.
If He hadn't stopped him, Gong would have dared to lift the sheets and quilt to see what was underneath.
After a while, Gong was anxious, and then he realized a big problem, where to go to the toilet this big night. And the two of them are not familiar with this place, and it is still dangerous at night.
As a result, Gong said that He also wanted to go to the toilet.
After thinking about it, the two went out and locked the door, took the key, and knocked on the door of Li and Ruan Yuping next door.
The mother and daughter were lying on the bed discussing the purchase of a shop when they heard a knock on the door. It was so late, and they didn't know anyone in Chenjia Village, so they didn't want to open the door.
As a result, the knocking on the door continued, and Li had no choice but to come to the door and ask carefully, "Who are you?" Who are you looking for? ”
Gong said: "Sister-in-law, open the door quickly, it's me." ”
When Li heard that it was Gong, he carefully opened the door a crack to confirm that it was correct, and then opened the door.
As soon as Gong entered the door, he said, "Sister-in-law, what should I do, I want to go to the toilet." It's just that we're a little scared, so we want you to go with us. If I knew this, I wouldn't have drunk so much water just now. ”
Gong asked for lemon orange tea for the first time, drank two cups in a row, and felt that Li's rose tea was so fragrant, and heard Sun Yunxuan say that this rose tea was beautiful and beautiful, so he cheekily asked for a cup of rose tea again.
As a result, everyone else drank one or two glasses, but she drank four glasses, and now it's no wonder that she is not in a hurry.
When Li heard this, he said with a smile: "Brother and sister, if you are in a hurry, there is a place in the house, where do you want to go on this big night?" Besides, I'm not familiar with this village. ”
She also thought that Gong was not used to the toilet place, so she had to go outside.
But Gong Shiqi said: "Is it okay in this house?" ”
Li said: "Yes, I just went, it's very convenient." What, you don't know this? ”
Gong Shi listened, and said as he ran inside: "Ouch, I didn't see it, Ye Feng, this kid is quite unkind, there is a place to go to the toilet in your house, but there is no one in our house." Sister-in-law, where is that place, hurry, I can't hold it back. ”
Li said angrily and funny: "Then, this house is." As he spoke, he pushed open the door for her, pointed to a squatting pit inside, and said, "That's it, go quickly." Ye Feng is not partial, and you also have one in the house. ”
She didn't find out about it. Of course, she forgot to tell her.
He was still holding back, not as anxious as Gong, so he honestly stood outside the bathroom door and waited for Gong to come out. The bathroom is designed right at the entrance, but the bedroom is outside, and there are two large windows.
It's just that Li and Yun Xue closed the curtains, and there was only a dim light in the room.
Gong was satisfied with solving his personal problems and getting dressed, and then he got up to observe this strange room. This room also looks like you can also shower and wash. In particular, the place that resembles a dresser is used standing.
In addition to a place to wash, there is also a large mirror.
Seeing that there was a bucket of water next to the squatting pit, and there was a scoop in it, Gong opened the door and asked, "Sister-in-law, do I need to take a scoop of water to flush it?" ”
Li hurriedly said: "Yes, that's the case, you can rush quickly." ”
Otherwise, how smelly, who would want to help her.
When Gong came out, He walked in and locked the door.
"Hey, I didn't know the purpose of this house just now, so I made a joke, but this thatched house is so good, how comfortable you said it is to use in winter. And that dresser, it's really convenient to get up in the morning and comb your hair. ”
Gong fell in love with this bathroom.
Ruan Yuping said: "It's all my fault, Sun Yunxue told me when I just went upstairs, but I forgot to tell you and the third aunt." It's not a dresser, it's just a place to wash your face and brush your teeth. ”
"By the way, third aunt, my mother and I think that tomorrow morning we will take the car back, and Sun Yunxuan said that she must get up to see us off and take us to breakfast. So, don't get up too early. ”
In fact, there is no need for her to say that sleeping lazily has always been Gong's specialty. These words were just for her to convey to He.
"Also, remember to close the curtains, or the sun will come into the house early tomorrow morning."
When He came out, Gong and her went back to the house to sleep.
It's just that after going back, Gong studied the bathroom in the house again, closed the curtains, and then went to bed.
As soon as they left, Li and Ruan Yuping continued to discuss the purchase of a shop.
"Mother, now we have twenty catties of longevity fruit seeds in our hands, according to me, the first time we plant, it is better for us to sell five catties, plus the silver we got before, it is enough to buy a shop. Otherwise, let's go into the city and buy a small shop, open a noodle shop, and sell some snacks or something. ”
Ruan Yuping's mind is now full of ideas and enthusiasm for entrepreneurship. She can see clearly, she can only continue to earn money in order to have the ability to protect herself. In the village or something, she didn't want to stay any longer.
Li Shi hesitated a little when he heard this: "But, we don't know any craftsmanship, this is not a trivial matter......
"What are you afraid of, don't you still have a grandmother! Her old man's hand-rolled dough is very good, let her teach me for a month, and I'm sure I'll be able to learn it. Besides, we can also sell some flatbread and fried eggs, but these are very simple. ”
Seeing that the Li family was still hesitating, Ruan Yuping said: "Mother, the second and third aunts were both here when the seeds were exchanged today, you have to think carefully about how to deal with it." It's okay for the third aunt, but it's the second aunt, hey......"
Li naturally Ruan Yuping's meaning, thought about it and said, "Mother understands what you mean." It's just that your second aunt has always been like this, if she has to ask for it, what can we do? ”
You can't fall out because of this.
"Mother, it stands to reason that I, as a junior, shouldn't say this, it's just that our family will definitely get bigger and bigger with the second and third aunts' families in the future. If you have always been so good-natured, how can you keep this home! I don't care, I must buy this shop anyway, and I won't share it with anyone if I have income in the future. ”
Ruan Yuping was fed up with the Gong family, especially when she came back from the competition, she realized that the idea of selling her second sister for silver to her father was the one from the Gong family.
This made Ruan Yuping very uncomfortable, and decided never to bow to the Gong family in the future. If it is said that taking advantage of a small advantage is just because she is poor, then giving her father the idea to sell his daughter is a matter of character, and even vicious.
And there is only one reason why Gong is so enthusiastic, and that is that she can get kickbacks. That person Yazi was naturally introduced by her.
Ever since she learned the news, Ruan Yuping hated it so much, and always wanted to find an opportunity to quarrel with the Gong family.
It's just an idea. She wouldn't dare do that.
Ruan Yuping's words woke up the Li family, because it was true.
Whether it is planting longevity fruits or buying a shop, their family's life will only get better and better in the future. If she doesn't come up with a little means and rigidity, and allows the Gong family to come to fight the autumn wind from time to time, then how can she keep this family in the future.
In addition to Ruan Yuping, she also has four children, two of whom need a dowry, and two who need to save money to marry.
Thinking of this, Li said, "Don't worry, my mother knows." This time, I'll do as you say. It's just that we have to go back together tomorrow, so how can we have a chance to sell the longevity fruit! ”
If they find out, then they will have it, maybe they will ask for silver and longevity, but it will be even more troublesome.
Ruan Yuping said: "Mother, don't worry, I have a way, you can cooperate with me tomorrow." If it goes well, we can set up the shop tomorrow. This is sooner rather than later, and I'm afraid that the shop will be bought first. ”
Early the next morning, Ho woke up early. She was used to getting up at this point, and she couldn't sleep at all.
It's just that seeing that Gong was sleeping soundly, He went to the bathroom lightly and began to wash. Like Gong said, this washing place is really practical.
After combing his hair, Ho sat down on the chair next to the bed. She gently opened the curtains, and a light came in.
In the yard, there are a few elderly people walking in the yard, and a few older children helping the volunteers carry wooden barrels. In the barrel, it was the children's breakfast.
Looking at this scene, He was envious. When can her family live in such a house, it would be good to live a leisurely life like this.
After a while, Gong woke up and went to wash himself.
He pulled the curtains open and opened the windows to let fresh air and sunlight enter the room.
When the two went out, Li and Ruan Yuping were already in the courtyard downstairs, greeting them. The two hurriedly went downstairs, and Gong knew in his heart that today's breakfast was also Sun Yunxue's treat, and it would not be bad.
The last time she took advantage, she had to eat a little.
Sun Yunxue was still in the future, and a few people were wandering around. This place is next to the 10,000-person square, but it is only a few steps away.
It's just that several people didn't dare to go far, so they could only stand on the edge of the square.
On the square, the morning light shone on the old man who took his grandson for a walk, which looked so sacred.
"It's a pity, the shops here have been sold out a long time ago, otherwise, I really want to live here." Ruan Yuping sighed.
"Shop? What shop? Gong's ears were sharp, Ruan Yuping just sighed softly, and she heard it.
"I'm just dreaming, doesn't the second aunt want to live here?" Ruan Yuping reacted extremely quickly.
Gong said: "I naturally want to think about it, but where is there so much silver, everything here is very expensive, and even drinking water costs money." Ay! ”
After a while, Sun Yunxue and Chen Qianguo walked over, Sun Yunxue was even more red-faced, snuggling up to Chen Qianguo and greeting a few people.
In the morning, the village is very quiet, and the breeze blows, and the blowing is very pleasant.
Gong said, "Why do I think it's cooler here than other places!" ”
Sun Yunxuan said, "Yes, aunt." We have a lot of trees planted here, and there are people who tend to do it, and there is a big lake next to it, so it's very cool. Did you see it, many people have come here from other places to escape the heat? ”
As we walked, we arrived at the shopping street. Sun Yunxuan took a few people to a shop specializing in selling fritters and noodles. After a few people sat down, Sun Yunxuan went to the store next door to buy a few big meat buns and came back.
It's soy milk fritters, steamed buns and noodles, and all kinds of side dishes, and this breakfast is too many people to eat.
Especially the Gong family, let go of the big food, just don't mention it like that.
