Chapter 80: Zhang Laicai's Little Abacus
Li Xiaobao received Wu Fengqing's promise to provide seeds for free, and with the support of Zhang Shan and Li Detian, he was even more confident. In the evening, Wu Fengqing and his medicinal herb buyers did not leave, and squeezed into the village committee all night.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaobao came to the village committee, and Zhang Shan had been waiting inside for a long time.
"Xiaobao, here!" Zhang Shan saw Li Xiaobao enter the door of the village committee, came out of the office, opened the door of the next room, and said, "The loudspeaker has already been prepared for you!"
"Thank you, Uncle Zhang Shan!" Li Xiaobao entered the broadcasting room with a smile, turned on the switch on the speaker, and began to try.
"Poof!poof!" Li Xiaobao blew two breaths on the microphone first, and after making sure that there was no problem, he said to Zhang Shan: "Uncle Zhangshan, do you want to contract the matter?"
"Hehe, let's talk about it, Xiaobao, now in the backing village, your words are much more effective than mine!" Zhang Shan smiled, as if he hadn't woken up from last night's wine.
Li Xiaobao was not polite, and said into the microphone: "Hey, pay attention to a fellow villager, I'm Li Xiaobao, today we signed a contract with Boss Wu in the town to provide gastrodia seeds for free, and each family that wants to plant gastrodia sends a person to the village committee to sign the contract! Hurry up, time is limited, and there is no waiting for the expiration date!"
Li Xiaobao played it three times in a row.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang Shan! I'll see you in a while!" Li Xiaobao knew that when the villagers came for a while, Zhang Shan had to come forward to sign the contract, after all, the Chinese medicine store and the village committee were business-to-business.
"No problem!" As soon as Zhang Shan's words fell, he saw Wu Fengqing come out of the west house of the village committee, although the accommodation conditions were average, but Wu Fengqing's spirit was exceptionally good today.
"Xiaobao, Xiaobao, I'm here!" The first person to hear the radio was Widow Liu, Widow Liu and Li Xiaobao had entered the city together a few times, and they already believed in Li Xiaobao very much.
After signing the contract, Widow Liu stood next to Li Xiaobao and said with some embarrassment: "Xiaobao, the contract has been signed, but what should I do when I am too busy to plant gastrodia?"
"Auntie, don't worry! If you are too busy to come, I will help you!" Li Xiaobao felt that he should help Widow Liu.
"Hey, it's better to be Xiaobao!" Widow Liu got Li Xiaobao's reply, glanced at him with a smile on her face, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the village committee.
Because Wu Fengqing's hundreds of thousands of dollars slapped on the table yesterday, all the villagers were already shocked, and with Li Xiaobao's work, the whole village was basically the same after a while.
"Third uncle, you came so early!" Li Xiaobao looked at Zhao Laosan and smiled, which made Zhao Laosan's face a little embarrassed, he had damaged Li Xiaobao before, but he didn't expect Li Xiaobao to hold any grudges at this time.
"Everyone is lining up! Our village committee has already agreed with Boss Wu that as long as the villagers who come to sign the contract will provide seeds for free!" Zhang Shan was in charge of signing the contract while maintaining order.
"Hey, Uncle Zhang Shan, why hasn't Uncle Laicai come yet?" When the entire contract had been signed, Li Xiaobao found that Zhang Laicai hadn't come yet.
"Yes, he won't drink too much yesterday, right?" Zhang Shan was also a little puzzled, he still knew how much Zhang Laicai drank.
In fact, Zhang Laicai had already woken up, and now he is discussing it with his wife at home, mainly because yesterday Zhang Fatzi gave Zhang Laicai ideological work, saying that he could also provide him with gastrodia for free, and the purchase price could be one-third higher than Wu Fengqing, so he asked him to mobilize a few villagers not to sign the contract.
Suddenly, Zhang Laicai was moved.
"Are you going to the village committee? I saw that Widow Liu, Lao Wang's family, and Zhao Laosan have all gone!" Zhang Laicai's daughter-in-law looked at Zhang Laicai, who was sitting on the bed and smoking a cigarette, and said very dissatisfied.
According to her intentions, it is right to follow Zhang Shan, Zhang Laicai has to listen to the medicinal herb merchant, now it's okay, it's undecided.
"What? Zhao Laosan has gone? Hasn't he always had a holiday with Li Xiaobao?" Zhang Laicai was immediately anxious when he heard that Zhao Laosan had gone to sign the contract, and jumped directly from the bed.
"Hey, what are you going to do? I remember to go to the village committee to sign the contract, everyone said that it was the time of the day today!" Zhang Laicai's daughter-in-law watched Zhang Laicai go out of the yard and hurriedly added a sentence in the back.
"What to sign, Lao Tzu hasn't thought about it yet!" Zhang Laicai listened to his daughter-in-law's words and became angry, Zhang Fatzi had already promised the same conditions, and the purchase price was one-third higher than Wu Fengqing's, so he couldn't just give up, right?
"Hey, it's for money, why don't you go to the village committee to sign the contract?" Zhao Laosan came out of the village committee with a hoe on his face, carrying the hoe.
"Third child, have you signed the contract?" Zhang Laicai looked at the excitement on Zhao Laosan's face and felt a little bad in his heart.
"Signed, what's wrong?" Zhao Laosan was very puzzled.
"Hey, I said the third child, why are you so confused? Don't you want to think that you and Li Xiaobao have always been at odds with each other, and now that you have signed the contract, he will not use this matter to squeeze you in the future?" Zhang Laicai looked distressed, as if what he said had happened.
"No, Xiaobao is not that kind of person!" Zhao Laosan thought about it and shook his head and said.
"Can't you just watch!" Zhang Laicai snorted very disdainfully, then looked at Zhao Laosan and said: "Third child, now there is a chance, you follow me, you will be indispensable to your benefits!"
"What are you doing?" Zhao Laosan was even more puzzled, why did Zhang Laicai babble this morning?
"What's that, do you know Fat Zhang? It's the herb buyer, he has already negotiated with me yesterday, he can also provide us with gastrodia seeds for free, and the purchase price in the future will be one-fifth higher than Li Xiaobao's!" Zhang Laicai thought that Zhang Fatzi gave him one-third more, how could he make some money, right?
"That's what you said to follow you?" Zhao Laosan listened to Zhang Laicai's words with a look of contempt, and said: "Laicai, how did I hear that the price of Zhang Fatzi is one-third more than that of Xiaobao, and why is it one-fifth when I come to you?"
"I ......" Zhang Laicai suddenly lost his words.
"Come to Cai, I'll tell you, just for your shrewdness, I won't follow you!" Zhao Laosan spat on the side of the road, carried the hoe and left.
"Hey, third child, why don't I give you a third of it, think about it again?" Zhang Laicai was suddenly a little dumbfounded.
"Hmph, you can make your gastrodia as good as Xiaobao first!" Zhao Laosan didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Laicai, and went directly to the ground with a hoe.
