Chapter 47 The Village Chief's Concerns
Carefully guarding the pepper tree and transporting it back to the upper and lower levels, Chen Youyi planned to plant it in the Qin family's yard.
If it is planted in front of the house where she lives now, I don't know if the Zeng family will take advantage of her absence to harm the little tree. After looking around, I only found one, but don't get killed as soon as you come.
Besides, she wasn't sure how long she would live there, if she left, she didn't know who was cheaper, it would be best to plant it in the Qin family's small courtyard, and give them the usage method, and they would be able to cook and eat it themselves in the future.
Thinking that he would have to leave soon, Chen Youyi's mood fell again. Ever since she became aware of her intentions, she felt that she had become emotionally volatile and indecisive.
As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw Mu Xiulian standing under the eaves, looking at them with a straight face. Qin Huai glanced at them from behind, raised his eyebrows with his fingers, and made an angry grimace.
"Mother, we're back." Qin Ziheng and Chen Youyi glanced at each other, not understanding what had happened, in short, it was always right to behave well-behaved first.
Chen Youyi immediately picked it up and said, "You see, we found a treasure on the mountain, and there will be many benefits in the future." ”
The biggest advantage is that you can eat delicious dishes made of Sichuan peppercorns.
"A thorn tree that no one wants, and I also pick it up as a treasure," Mu Xiulian saw that the two of them had gone out for a day and brought back such a useless thing, so she was even more angry, and said angrily: "You two come in with me, I have something to ask you!" ”
Qin Huai quietly made a gesture to eat in a place where Mu Xiulian couldn't see, so both of them understood that it was discovered that they had gone to the restaurant to eat yesterday.
"Tell me, why did you go to the city yesterday to buy something?" Mu Xiulian hated iron and said with hatred: "How many times have I said it, the family is poor, you have to save some flowers, you guys are good, one by one didn't listen to my words, and went to the restaurant to eat, it is better to save this money to buy a few more liters of white rice!" ”
This is not what makes Mu Xiulian the most angry, what she is most angry about is that these two people actually didn't know her, and they also took Qin Huai badly: "If Miao Miao didn't happen to see it, come and tell me, I don't know what you guys are doing outside?" ”
He Miaomiao? Chen Youyi frowned slightly, and at the same time the weak and delicate face appeared in his mind, as well as the unknown side of He Miaomiao that Qin Huai had informed.
"Mother, don't be angry, blame me for this." Qin Ziheng said first: "I thought it was rare to celebrate the festival, and I haven't been to a restaurant in the family for a long time, so I took them with me, and I must pay attention to them in the future." ”
Chen Youyi also quickly admitted her mistake and said with a smile: "It's all my fault, it's because I'm too curious to try the restaurant's food." It's just a long time to eat, it's all false propaganda, those cooks are not as delicious as you cook, and I won't go in the future. ”
With Qin Ziheng's confession first, Chen Youyi's attitude of admitting his mistake was good, and there was also Qin Huai beside him who pitifully opened his eyes and begged for mercy, Mu Xiulian's anger was quickly eliminated.
"Forget it this time, don't be so foolish next time, the restaurant is a place where rich people can go, not where we should go."
Mu Xiulian was relieved, and this matter was over. Chen Youyi struck while the iron was hot and said a few good words, which coaxed Mu Xiulian to be happy, and scolded her for what she should do.
Chen Youyi planted the pepper tree in the corner of the yard, looking at the green leaves, as if she had seen pots of spicy crayfish in advance, and the boiled meat slices walked in line in front of her.
"Love this tree so much?" Qin Ziheng packed up his tools and saw Chen Youyi standing under the tree with a smile, although he didn't understand why she was so happy, he couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows.
"Hey, hey, nothing." Whether it will be a surprise or a fright at that time, it is not certain, the future will be talked about later, and now it is still a matter of business to do: "The contract matter, it's almost time to discuss it with the village chief, when do you think it's better to go?" ”
Qin Ziheng pondered: "In a few days, the weather will be warm, and there will be more things." I think it's better to go sooner rather than later, so it's better to go tonight. ”
Chen Youyi felt that it made sense, so she decided.
After dinner, Qin Ziheng and Chen Youyi went to the village chief's house, but things didn't go so well.
"You mean, you want to sell the grass to the villagers?" After explaining twice, the village chief understood their intentions: "Give it to the villagers for free first, and then give it to the sheep when they sell it?" ”
The village chief looked at them suspiciously, no matter how you look at this deal, it is not worth it.
Chen Youyi confirmed: "Exactly. Therefore, we wanted to sign an agreement with the villagers before providing pasture to avoid future disputes. ”
"Well...... the village chief felt that this deal was absolutely cost-effective for the people in the village. It is important to know that fresh grass in winter is not easy to come by, and it is much better to feed it with fresh grass than hay.
If you can feed the sheep with fresh grass all the time, you can sell it for more than 20% more than before.
But the problem is that the village chief's eyes fell on Chen Youyi, remembering her past bad deeds, and feeling that this person was not very reliable.
Chen Youyi had already guessed that with her disadvantage, it was too difficult to gain the trust of others, which was one of the reasons why she had to bring Qin Ziheng.
She made a look, Qin Ziheng understood, and stepped forward and said: "Village chief, this transaction does not need to be taken by the villagers, the grass can be provided all the time, there is no need to worry about running out of food, and in the future, there is no need to worry about the cattle and sheep not being able to eat enough and lose weight during the winter, I think it is also a good thing for the people in the village." ”
"It's good," the village chief couldn't be worried about Chen Youyi's reputation, although everyone present knew it, he just asked, "Is this your daughter-in-law's idea, or your idea?" ”
If this was Chen Youyi's own whim, no matter how profitable it was, the village chief didn't plan to cooperate with her.
"It was the idea of both of us." Qin Ziheng explained: "Forage planting and maintenance is not something that can be completed by one person, and all matters in the future will be undertaken by the two of us together." If there is a problem with the contract in the future, the villagers can come to me as much as possible. ”
Hearing him say this, the village chief was relieved: "That's good, that's good." Since you can be the guarantor, the old decay is relieved. Well, I'll go and tell each other later, and I'll hear you more about it tomorrow morning. ”
"Okay, then do it, bother the village chief." Qin Ziheng and Chen Youyi thanked again and again, without the support of the village chief, it would be impossible for them to gain a foothold in the village.
Chen Youyi smiled: "Thank you too, if it weren't for a reliable person like you, they wouldn't have listened to my nonsense." ”
Qin Ziheng just smiled and said, "This is not your business alone, what I do is what I should do." ”
