Chapter 38: Righteousness

"There are ideas, but I don't know if Li Zheng can get the villagers to agree." Hua Qingyan said with a smile.

"Miss Qingyan just said." Zhou Lizheng patted his chest and promised, "Although I can't do a word in this mountain village, I still have prestige." Besides, this matter is related to the interests of the villagers themselves, and everyone will be very happy, and there is no need for me to persuade them. ”

"If that's the case, that's great." Hua Qing smiled, "My idea is that the villagers will grow their own flower balls and sell them to me, and then I will sell them to Guanlanju." If you want to have seedlings, I can also provide them. ”

After listening to Hua Qingyan, Zhou Lizheng's eyes lit up, this method is indeed better than going to the mountains to pick by himself, and it is much safer, after all, everyone is not clear about the situation in the mountains, and it also avoids the villagers from fighting for those flower balls and hurting the harmony. Of course, Zhou Lizheng doesn't want to think badly, but people will always get carried away in front of interests!

However, Zhou Lizheng is more concerned about another question: "I don't know the price of this acquisition?" ”

Hua Qingyan tilted her head and looked at Zhou Lizheng with an innocent look, "Uncle Lizheng shouldn't let Qingyan suffer, after all, Qingyan has to live on these." ”

Zhou Lizheng knew that the flower bulb was now selling well in Guanlanju, and he also felt that the purchase price of this flower ball was not low, but he didn't know how much. Of course, he would not bully a weak woman, and said in a consultative tone: "Why don't you just have thirty Wen?" ”

Thirty essays? Hua Qingyan blinked, her heart was already happy, but there was an embarrassed expression on her face that she didn't want to agree but had to agree, "Okay, according to the price I said." However, the seedlings of the flower balls still have to be charged, just five cents a catty. ”

Zhou Lizheng didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and couldn't help but praise, "Miss Qingyan really understands righteousness, and I am here to express my deep gratitude to you on behalf of the mountain village!" ”

Zhou Lizheng didn't think that Hua Qingyan sold seedlings too much, and after the two sides reached an agreement, Zhou Lizheng left satisfied, and then there was a sound of pouting, which was the bell that would ring when the village held a meeting. Sure enough, after a while, the news of Hua Qingyan Sanshiwen's acquisition of flower balls spread in the village! Although many people don't understand Hua Qingyan's intention to buy Huaqiu, it is a very happy thing to have a new entry in itself.

However, some people are also very dissatisfied with the fact that Hua Qingyan provides flower ball seedlings but asks for silver! For example, several women who are good friends with Hua Panpan who love to chew the root of their tongues.

Lin sat under the big willow tree, knocking melon seeds, and spat fiercely in the direction of the north of the village: "I know how Hua Qingyan's cheap girl can be so kind to let us make money!" A broken seedling costs money to buy! It's crazy about money! ”

Qian Shi, who was sitting next to her, echoed in her sharp and ugly voice: "That's it, that's it, it's just some flower balls, we can go to the mountains and pick them ourselves!" Why buy from her! I'm not going! ”

Lin said again: "Didn't the carriage go to the north of the village, my stupid daughter-in-law saw the people in the carriage enter Hua Qingyan's courtyard with her own eyes, this stay is half a day, tsk, guess what, what are they doing in the courtyard?" If there's nothing greasy in this, I don't believe it! Lin said with an indescribable lewd smile on his face, but everyone knew it.

Speaking of this, everyone invariably remembered the carriage that drove into the village in the morning, and the curtain of the carriage was lifted when leaving, naturally many people saw Qi Yu's side face, and immediately felt that this distinguished guest was not only noble but also handsome, but better than any man in the village! Such a handsome and golden man came to find Hua Qingyan...... Everyone looked at each other, and they all felt that Hua Qingyan had an ulterior relationship with the man in the carriage.

Not far away, Hua Qingyan and Hu Baizhi happened to pass by, and when they heard this, Hu Baizhi, who was originally a little dissatisfied with the transaction between Hua Qingyan and Zhou Lizheng, immediately collapsed and spat fiercely: "This group of people is really enough!" Qing Yan sacrificed her own interests to help them, if you are not grateful, forget it, and slander you! I don't know what to do! As he spoke, he was about to go up to find the Lin family and the Qian family who were chewing the root of the tongue.

Hua Qingyan quickly pulled Hu Baizhi, and said disapprovingly: "Forget it, these people actually like to talk, let them say it, anyway, I won't eat an extra piece of meat because of these." Looking at Hu Baizhi's still indignant expression, Hua Qingyan suddenly smiled and touched her head, "One day, these people will beg for me." When the time comes, whether to help or not depends on my mood. ”

Hu Baizhi blinked and looked at Hua Qingyan, and always felt that Hua Qingyan at this time made her a little strange. Obviously, the smile is still the same, and it is still so beautiful...... But Hu Baizhi still felt that Hua Qingyan's smile contained some emotions that she couldn't see. As for what it was, the simple Hu Baizhi didn't think much about it, thinking that these people would be deflated in the future, and the anger in her heart calmed down a lot. Hu Baizhi grabbed her hair, grabbed Hua Qingyan's arm, and pulled her forward, "Let's go, let's go to Carpenter Wu!" ”

After Zhou Lizheng left, Hu Langzhong proposed that Hua Qingyan go to buy furniture. Hua Qingyan agreed without much thought, after all, there are too few furniture at home now, not only is it inconvenient for guests to come, but even life on weekdays is a little troublesome.

There are a lot of craftsmen in the mountain village, among which Wu carpenter has a certain reputation in the town, and many people in the town often come to the mountain village to find him to order furniture.

Carpenter Wu's home is in the east of the village, a large courtyard, with only three rooms in total. Hua Qingyan heard that Carpenter Wu's parents left early, and he grew up with the master carpenter. The master married him, but his wife died in childbirth on the day of delivery, and one body and two lives. Soon after, Wu's carpenter's master also died. This series of accidents made the people in the village say that Carpenter Wu was destined to bring evil to everyone around him, so Carpenter Wu has never remarried, and he has lived by himself for so many years, and he has not even confiscated an apprentice.

When Hua Qingyan and Hu Baizhi arrived, the courtyard door of Carpenter Wu's house was open, and the situation inside was unobstructed. The yard was stacked with a lot of timber and half-made furniture, and there were all kinds of tools in the corners of the side. A man in his fifties was digging wood shirtless, his dark skin was stained with sawdust, presumably this was Carpenter Wu. Next to him, a young man with a scar on his face was chopping wood with a hoe. Because both of them were facing the courtyard gate, as soon as Hua Qingyan and Hu Baizhi appeared, they found out.

"Zhou Rong, why are you here!" Hu Baizhi asked in surprise.

Zhou Rong glanced at Hu Baizhi, then at Hua Qingyan, and replied, "Help Master Wu work." ”

"Oh." Hu Baizhi's voice was a lot quieter, and after recovering her strength, she felt a lot of fun. The person who was originally very arrogant is even a little cautious when walking at the moment.

Hua Qingyan looked at Hu Baizhi's twisted appearance and felt funny, coughed lightly, and winked at her mischievously when Hu Baizhi looked at her, which made Hu Baizhi ashamed and angry, but it was not good to have a seizure in front of Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong saw that the two of them had not spoken, but he also knew that they were definitely not looking for him, so he naturally asked Carpenter Wu to make furniture. Zhou Rong glanced at Carpenter Wu, who only raised his eyelids slightly, and no longer paid attention to Hua Qingyan and the others, and reluctantly spoke for him: "What furniture do you want to make?" ”

Hua Qingyan glanced at Carpenter Wu, although this man is no longer young, but his face and spirit are very upright, and he can't see a trace of old age. But it's not easy to get along with. It's just that these have nothing to do with Hua Qingyan, she just came to buy furniture.

Hua Qingyan smiled and said, "I'll buy furniture." She looked at the half-finished products in the yard and asked, "I wonder if there is anything that has been completed." My yard is shabby, and the furniture needs to be urgent. ”

In fact, according to Hua Qingyan's idea, she wanted to draw some drawings by herself, but the time spent on customizing was too long. She plans to buy some simple ones to use first, and when she earns money, she will renovate or re-cover the yard, and then buy some new ones according to her own ideas, so that she can live comfortably.

Knowing their intentions, Zhou Rong glanced at Carpenter Wu again, but the other party still didn't react at all. Zhou Rong had no choice but to treat himself as the host to entertain them, "It's done in the house, I'll take you to see it." ”

The two followed Zhou Rong into one of the rooms. This room was the largest in the courtyard, and it was full of small pieces of furniture, including stools, chairs, tables, and low cabinets for the usual peasant households; There are also some more high-end dressers, desks, bogu shelves and the like, which are dazzling. These pieces of furniture are very delicate, even the ones used by ordinary people are painted with a layer of red paint, and even some carvings are in the subtleties. Hua Qingyan was a little dazzled, and thought to herself, this Wu carpenter really has some skills.

Hua Qingyan bought a lot of stools, chairs and a table, and finally bought a dresser, after all, it is the nature of girls to love beauty, even if Hua Qingyan is casual, but she can't wear her hair every day. And Bi'er is already very dissatisfied with Hua Qingyan's hairstyle and makeup.

Zhou Rong used the donkey cart of Lizheng's family to send those furniture to Hua Qingyan's house, and helped move them to the house, and placed the furniture according to Hua Qingyan's wishes, and the originally empty house instantly added a lot of vitality, and it was also a lot more pleasing to the eye.

The silver was paid directly to Carpenter Wu, and Zhou Rong said that he was just giving Carpenter Wu a hand and helping. A total of ten taels of silver, Carpenter Wu took it expressionlessly, and never said a word except when he quoted. The degree of this obsessiveness also makes Hua Qingyan amazed, I don't know if this Wu carpenter will be like this when he takes on business on weekdays.
