Seeing that Mrs. Wu had misunderstood, Liu Paner smiled and explained, "Mrs. Wu, you misunderstood, we are not here to raise prices." The business that was negotiated before, even if there is no contract, but I Liu Paner do business, credit first, and I will never backtrack. The village chief uncle had negotiated with the Zhao family before, and every time he came to Baisha Town, he would send two baskets to the Zhao family. I sell it to you now, but I send two baskets to Zhao's house every three days, and I can't change it. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it is not a price increase, everything else is easy to say.

Mrs. Wu regained her previous smile, "Oh, the business that was originally set, that really can't be changed." The Zhao family wants two baskets just for their own food, not for trading, and it does not conflict with my business. It's just that I'm more curious, do you want to raise the price with the Zhao family? ”

Village Chief Li was bold and replied: "Back to Mrs. Wu, the business that has been negotiated in advance cannot be arbitrarily increased at will. Although we are ordinary people, we also know the word credit. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wu's eyes lit up, they do business, and their favorite thing is to be a trustworthy person.

From this simple thing, we can see the character of these two people.

Credit, understand the rules, and cooperate in the future can also save a lot of trouble.

Mrs. Wu nodded, her eyes were quite approving, "Yes, if you want to do business for a long time, you rely on credit and word of mouth." Your melons are very good, they already have a reputation in our town, and with good credit, the melons you grow will definitely sell better in the future. ”

Liu Paner smiled: "We also think the same, this year because there are few seeds, so there are few seeds!" By next year, the people in our village will definitely grow more, and the business will be more and more extensive. ”

When she heard that production could be expanded next year, Mrs. Wu was even happier.

The county is so big, and in the summer, more products are needed to relieve the heat.

Not only in the county, but even in the city, there may not be such a good melon. No matter what, you can make money, so why not?

"That's okay, next year the same price will be sold to my family first." Mrs. Wu did not directly set the price, after all, no one knows next year's market.

With the friendship of knowing each other first, you can make a verbal agreement first.

It is advisable to advance and retreat and take the lead.

Liu Pan'er responded, "Of course, Mrs. Wu is kind and kind in business, and if there is a chance to cooperate in the future, we can't ask for it." ”

"Then it's decided!" Mrs. Wu smiled and personally sent Liu Pan'er and Village Chief Li out.

Village Chief Li was very happy, and said as he walked: "It seems that you can't be lazy, and when I go back, I am going to take my three sons to a farther place to open up wasteland." Growing melons is much more cost-effective than growing grain, so we sold melons and bought grain to eat. ”

Liu Pan'er nodded in agreement, "Although Uncle has a point, I think we should also be prepared for the unexpected." Although the south is rich in products and fertile land, no one can guarantee that the weather will be smooth every year. If the south has no harvest and no food, then we will not be able to buy food even if we have money. Once the storm is too violent, our melon fields will suffer, and there will be no melons to sell, and there will be no food. Therefore, the few acres of paddy fields at home still have to grow grain, and the money is not much, but the rations can be guaranteed. ”

Village Chief Li, who was still a little carried away, was startled after hearing Liu Paner's words, and slapped his thigh, "Yes, food is our life!" How did I forget our lives? Just a few days after eating a full meal, I forgot about such an important thing. Yuan Qing's family, you are right, those paddy fields that have been opened up are used to grow food, which is enough for the family to eat. In addition, the wasteland is planted and sold for money, so that it can be guaranteed. ”

Liu Pan'er was also very happy when she saw that Village Chief Li listened, "That's right, it's really a famine year, there is no food, we just hold a gold mine, and we can't eat it in our stomachs!" ”

"Yes!" Village Chief Li thought it was true, and on the way to escape the famine, he had a particularly deep memory of hunger, "When the things are bought, let's hurry home!" ”

Li Dabao carried a basket in one hand and four buns wrapped in oiled paper in the other.

came back early today, Liu Paner put the pigs in the two large porcelain basins into the water and put them on the edge of the pool, "Dabao, you are watching here, I will send the things back first and then come to clean!" ”

Li Dabao nodded, "Mother, then you be careful." ”

Liu Paner drove the ox cart, bypassed the stone road, passed through the narrow place, and then went around to the way home.

Because their cave is in the first one, they can see it after turning the corner.

Liu, who was also taking his daughter and niece to make clothes at the entrance of the cave, also saw it, and was surprised to see that the ox cart was full of things, "The third brother and sister are back and have bought a lot of things!" ”

Several people put down their work and came out.

Liu Shi looked at it, "Third brother and sister, you didn't buy a pig to go into the water?" ”

"I bought it, and put it by the creek along with the two porcelain basins, Dabao is watching, I'll put the things away and go to clean them!" Liu Pan'er smiled, they can make money, and they can also eat meat with them, why don't they buy it?

Liu smiled: "I'll help you move things down together, I'll clean them, and you can rest at home for a while!" ”

Liu Paner was so hot that her head was dazed, and when she saw that Liu took the initiative to help, she gladly accepted, "Thank you, sister-in-law!" ”

With the help of Village Chief Li and his son Li Yuanjia, the bought vat was placed not far from the entrance of the cave.

All the things bought for others are placed at the entrance of the cave so that the people in the village can come and get them.

Liu took his eldest daughter, Ah Fang, to the creek to clean the pigs.

Village Chief Li drove the ox cart home, and the ox cart was also full of things.

Some of them have bought them at home, and some have bought them for others in the village.

Li Rong held several bamboo tubes on the tray and poured cold white boil, "Mother, drink water." ”

Liu Paner drank three glasses in a row and sat on a chair to rest, "It's really hot this day, is it going to rain?" ”

Li Nan came over and said mysteriously: "Mother, just now Grandma Li came over and said that her leg hurts and it is going to rain, so let the eldest aunt pay attention." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "What Grandma Li said, then it will definitely rain today." ”

Li Xiaobao scratched his head, his face full of curiosity, "Mother, why?" Is it because Grandma Li is old and has learned to see clouds and rain? ”

Liu Pan'er shook her head and said in a serious tone, "Xiaobao, Grandma Li is old and has life experience, and she can observe the signs of rain, or maybe she has rheumatism in her legs and feet because of her age." On the eve of a change in the weather, she will feel uncomfortable and even painful in her legs and feet, as a way to predict cloudy and rainy weather. ”

Li Xiaobao suddenly realized, "Can the clouds and rain be predicted?" ”

Seeing this, Liu Pan'er hurriedly explained, "Xiaobao, the clouds and rain are predictable. For example, we often say proverbs that the morning glow does not go out, the sunset travels thousands of miles, and there are people who watch the sky at night, and they can also infer the weather from this. It's just that I don't understand this, and when you grow up, you can learn from others. ”

Li Xiaobao nodded, "Thank you, mother, when I grow up, I will learn these complicated things." ”

As he was talking, Li Stonemason's daughter-in-law heard that Liu Paner had returned, so she hurriedly brought her son over to carry grain, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Li Mamason saw that Liu Paner's house was not in the water, "Yuanqing's family, do you still sell brine water?" ”
