Chapter 186: Glass
A few people went to see the fish ponds, and saw that the fish ponds were really dug neatly, and the handiwork of the people in Huangni Village really had nothing to say.
When Xianghua and the others looked at the fish pond, other people from Huangni Village also gathered around.
Before the Chinese New Year, they only learned from the village chief that there was such a good person as the Xianghua girl, but they had never seen it, and today they heard that the Xianghua girl was here again, so they all ran over to see what the fairy-like character in this rumor looked like.
"Ah, that one in red is Miss Xianghua, right?"
"Yes, yes, the village chief has been talking to her. She's so good-looking, better than those young ladies! ”
"That is, she really looks like a fairy in a painting. I heard that she is also very smart and capable, such a character, don't you really be born by a Bodhisattva, right? ”
Donglin and Xiangmiao laughed when they heard this-their sister would not change it even if she was given to a fairy.
Xianghua looked back and saw that many villagers were looking at her curiously, including many children, so she smiled and said: "When spring begins, the school building in Qingshan Village will be repaired, and there will be enough food for three meals a day and new bedding, so you all have to come!" ”
As soon as everyone heard that they could eat three meals, their eyes lit up, and they all geared up when they heard that there were new bedding.
Some villagers who couldn't hear it clearly asked, "Girl Xianghua, can we go?" ”
Huang Daniu smiled: "What are you listening to? It's a school, it's for children. When children learn their skills, they don't have to suffer like us! Let's raise fish and shrimp here, and make money to repay Miss Xianghua! ”
Xianghua said with a smile: "Uncle, these things will be there in the future, you work hard, not only can you make money in the future, but you can also build a new house, and you can eat meat every day!" ”
What she said was like a fairyland for the current villagers of Huangni Village, everyone was enthusiastic when they heard it. The villagers were full of energy one by one, and their roars shook the sky.
Seeing this scene, Qian Xiaoman finally knew why Xianghua said that it was worth it. She went to look at the yellow sand in Huangni Village, grabbed another handful, and carefully rubbed her fingers to look at it.
After Xianghua said yes to the village chief and the villagers, she also came over and asked, "What do you see?" ”
Qian Xiaoman smiled: "Xianghua, you have picked up the treasure again." ”
Xianghua blinked her eyes and asked with a smile, "What do you mean?" ”
Qian Xiaoman smiled: "Do you remember my uncle?" He was in charge of the mines, and there were some people in our family who burned glass. Do you know what glass is? ”
Xianghua nodded.
Of course, she knew what glass was, but she had heard that glass was a precious thing in ancient times.
Qian Xiaoman smiled brightly: "Glass is the same thing as gold and gemstones, and it is even rarer. I've just seen it, this piece of yellow sand has been here for a long time, and its condition is better than that of my family, if you think about it, if this large piece of yellow sand is burned into glass, then you will really make money and your purse will be broken. ”
Xianghua was dumbfounded.
Donglin and Xianghua were also very excited when they heard this.
"It would be great if that were the case!" Xianghua reacted and said happily, "Then Huangni Village can build its own school and find its own way to make money, I'll go and tell the village chief!" ”
Qian Xiaoman grabbed her and said, "Don't worry. This yellow sand is worthless in the eyes of people who don't know the goods, and even if the people of Huangni Village want to sell it, it is only the lowest cost price, and they can't make much money at all. ”
Xianghua pondered for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoman, aren't you making glass at home?" Why don't you send someone here to contract this place, and teach the people here how to burn glass by the way. In this way, you can get the good sand here cheaper, and the people of Huangni Village can also learn skills, and you can also find a job elsewhere when the yellow sand here is used up, wouldn't it be good to have the best of both worlds? ”
Qian Xiaoman stared at her for a while, and said happily: "Your brain is spinning so fast, you almost can't catch up with me." ”
Xianghua grinned and said coquettishly: "Sister Xiaoman, for my sake, give more money to Huangni Village, they are really too poor." ”
Qian Xiaoman said with a smile: "My family is naturally a child, but for your sake, I will give more to them, and I will help them." ”
Xianghua smiled: "Thank you Boss Qian!" ”
"What?" Huang Daniu's eyes widened, "Can the sand in our village still be sold for money?!" ”
Xianghua covered her lips and smiled: "Village chief, the sand in your village itself is indeed sand, and it needs to be processed to become a useful thing, this is Qian Xiaomanqian, the boss from the capital, and he is also my friend." According to the rules, you have a maximum of one hundred taels of sand. ”
"One hundred taels?!" Huang Da Niu's eyes widened.
He had never heard of so much money since he was a child.
Xianghua smiled: "That's right, but Boss Qian is also a beautiful and kind-hearted character, after seeing the appearance of your village, he decided to give more when he saw the children in your village." ”
Huang Daniu was still in shock, and smiled innocently: "Thank you Xianghua girl!" Thank you Boss Qian! ”
Xianghua didn't know how much Qian Xiaoman planned to give, so she glanced at her with a smile.
Qian Xiaoman said with a smile: "Village chief, after we sign the agreement, we will send five hundred taels of real money to the village." ”
"'Five hundred taels?!' Huang Da Niu, Dong Lin and Xiang Miao shouted in unison.
Qian Xiaoman nodded, and smiled at Xianghua: "You have contributed so much money and effort, and I, as a sister, can't show weakness, let's talk a little bit of heart." ”
On the same day, the village chief summoned all the villagers, and Xianghua read the agreement signed by the village chief on behalf of the villagers with Qian Xiaoman in front of everyone.
The villagers were still in the clouds, and they learned that each family could get a dozen taels of silver in two days.
A dozen taels of silver! It's 10,000 dollars, it's enough to marry a daughter-in-law and have a few more children!
Huang Daniu was speechless about this, and actually knelt down directly to Xianghua and Qian Xiaoman. When the villagers saw the village chief like this, they all knelt down with a plop.
Xianghua and Qian Xiaoman hurriedly asked everyone to get up.
Xianghua said: "Everyone can work hard, they really shouldn't be so poor." You will work hard with Boss Qian in the future, and you can learn a lot of knowledge, and if you have real skills in the future, you will not be afraid of suffering and being poor again. ”
Huang Daniu cried with tears in his eyes: "We ...... Our village is also the ancestor of the accumulation of virtue, can meet Xianghua girl and Boss Qian such a good person, in the future our village will be better, will not forget the great kindness of the two girls! ”
Xianghua hurriedly helped him up.
Huangni Village got this great news, and had to leave Xianghua and a few others to eat, and said that they would kill the two most precious hens in the family to entertain them, so frightened that several of them hurriedly said no, and they would come to eat later.
Several people sat in the carriage back to Qingshan Village, and everyone was excited.
