Chapter 69: Errand Fees

Before the chief could speak, the eldest daughter-in-law standing on the side was overjoyed and opened her mouth.

"That's really good, there are flowers everywhere in the fields outside my mother's village and on the mountains, and if you pick them back, you can exchange them for money, everyone wants to."

Her mother's house is not too far from Gujia Village, but because it is close to the mountain, there is not much farmland, and each family only gets a few acres of land, and the family is counting on it for the year's income.

But the money earned from such a year's hard work is not enough to eat, and the last time she went back to her parents' house, she saw that several of her nephews were all thin.

She really couldn't stand it, so she gave her father and mother some money, but she was a married girl, and she helped once or twice, and there were more parents-in-law and sisters-in-law who would definitely gossip, so she was worried about this matter in her heart.

If picking flowers can be exchanged for money, she will go back in the afternoon to inform her father and mother, and ask them to take her brother, sister-in-law and nephews to pick more flowers quickly.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law spoke first, the chief was a little unhappy, thinking that she was very rude, so he cleared his throat and said.

"Old man, you go out first, I have other things to discuss with Miss Qi Ling."

When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she reluctantly left, and before leaving, her two eyes looked at Qi Ling's hand vigorously.

Qi Ling then remembered that he still had some gifts, so he hurriedly changed his smiling face and put the things in his hand on the table next to the lieutenant chief.

"Li Chang has always been very helpful to us on weekdays, Gu Jinfeng and I are very grateful, these tea and snacks are specially brought to you."

The chief looked at the things on the table, felt that the gift was decent, and nodded secretly in his heart.

He felt that he was not greedy for this thing, but that this good thing also reflected a person's way of life, so he was treated like this, and he was a little obedient in his heart.

"Well, the thing you just said about harvesting dried flowers, I think it's okay, it's already spring leisure now, in addition to the people who work in your workshop and the mountains, there are still many people in our village who are idle, and they can do some work and exchange some money."

Qi Ling nodded, an expression of admiration.

"It's still the chief who thinks a lot about our village, no wonder the people in our village respect and love you so much."

Qi Ling's words just happened to praise the chief in his heart, he has been the chief for decades, and he likes others to praise him the most.

He asked with a smile on his face, his beard trembling slightly, and in a very gentle tone.

"But if you even collect it from other villages, will it be too much, and you won't be able to collect it by then?"

"Don't worry, no matter how much there is, I can take it, and I'll definitely take it from our own village first."

Qi Ling hurriedly explained, it was not that she boasted about Haikou, but that once her shop was opened in the future, she would definitely be able to eat so many flowers.

After all, lipstick, rouge, gouache, as well as essential oils and perfumes that will be made in the future, don't all require a lot of flowers to make them.

Just like essential oils, dozens of catties of dried flowers may not be able to make a few drops of essential oil.

What's more, when the time comes, there is no shadow of a flower, and if you want to continue to make rouge gouache in the ice and snow, it all depends on dried flowers.

Therefore, for her, the more dried flowers the better, and the more the merrier!

Hearing Qi Ling's assurance, the chief of the lieutenant's heart could be regarded as letting go.

He felt that since Qi Ling could buy a mountain for a few hundred taels, he would naturally not only collect the money he spent, but also see that she was generous, and he would not be harsh on her neighbors.

"In our own village, it's easy to notify. Before dinner, I will gather everyone together and tell them about your dried flowers, but I am afraid that I will have to make a trip myself......

Li Chang looked at Qi Ling as he spoke, with some expectation in his eyes.

Qi Ling didn't understand what he meant, she took out a money bag from her sleeve and put it on the table.

"Captain, you are old, and you have to help me go to various villages to inform, the younger generation is really ashamed, these should be regarded as your errand fees."

Seeing this, the chief hurriedly picked up the money bag with his hand, weighed the weight in his hand, felt that there were several taels, and was very satisfied, so he casually stuffed the money bag into his sleeve.

But he still said: "You kid, do I still use any errand fees for our neighbors, this time I reluctantly accepted it, don't do it next time." ”

Hearing this, Qi Ling almost laughed, there is a modern sentence to describe the actions of the chief just now.

"The mouth says no, but the body is very honest", this sentence is simply tailor-made for him.

Qi Ling tried his best not to laugh out loud, but instead looked at the chief with a very serious expression.

"I still want to thank the chief for this trip, but I bother you to tell the big guy at the beginning, I must look at the quality of the flowers when I harvest them, if there are weeds or something in it, then I have to decide whether to collect it or not depending on the situation."

The lieutenant nodded, "It's better for you to think about it thoroughly, and say it in advance, so as not to have any disputes when you get it." ”

Qi Ling took out a piece of paper from her pocket again, which was written before she came, the type of flowers she wanted to collect, the pattern of flowers attached to it, and the price of each flower, which was very detailed.

"Lieutenant, I also bother you to inform the villagers and neighbors according to what is written on this paper when the time comes, lest they pick the wrong flowers and waste time."

The chief hurriedly took it, and when he saw the words on it, he was a little stunned, and he couldn't believe his eyes, he knew Gu Jinfeng's words, this was obviously not his font, could it be that Qi Ling could still write?

"Miss Qi Ling, did you write it yourself?"

Qi Ling nodded, "That's what I wrote, is there a problem?" ”

After hearing this, the lieutenant chief was even more surprised, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked again.

"I wonder who you used to learn to write? Your hairpin is so beautiful. ”

No wonder the chief is so surprised, except for some ladies in this dynasty who can ask female gentlemen to teach at home, where can ordinary women have the opportunity to be literate.

And Qi Ling's handwriting is really good, there is a woman's softness in the font, but you can still see a bit of atmosphere between the pen, quite a bit of everyone's demeanor.

However, Qi Ling didn't know how to answer his question, since she had traveled here, she had not obtained the memory of the original owner at all.

Even writing, but also inadvertently found that she wrote very well, when she held the pen in her mind seemed to have a certain familiar feeling, when to lift the pen, pause, which stroke to write heavier, which stroke to write lighter, is simply a subconscious action.
