Chapter 69: Do things in a high profile and behave in a low profile!
She danced her little hands excitedly, releasing more than a dozen rabbits for a while, and picking a large plate of cherries for a while.
Rabbits are raised in the backyard. If they can be sold, it will reduce the burden on the small yard.
As for the cherries, they originally grew in the corner of the yard and were half dead.
I didn’t take the good news seriously, but unexpectedly, it sprouted and bloomed this year, and now the tree is full of cherries.
Looks pretty good, tastes sweet and sour.
At this time, taking advantage of the novelty, I think I can sell it for some money.
Old Mrs. Li asked cautiously when she saw that there were no vegetables.
“Fu Niu, are there any vegetables left? Can we sell them every day in the future?”
“Ah, ah.” Jiayin nodded, pointed at Cherry and frowned.
Because the cherries are too small, it is really difficult to pick them.
Mrs. Li was very happy and asked, "Are there as many vegetables as there are today?"
The old lady still nodded after hearing the good news, and the old lady felt confident.
Li Laosi was also happy. Although he didn't understand his daughter as well as his mother, he still understood her to a certain extent.
"Mom, I'll go back quickly. Second brother and Liu Biaotou are still waiting."
"Okay, remember to be careful when you come back. When people asked, I said I went to help the **** agency."
Mrs. Li gave careful instructions, "Someone in the city asks where the vegetables come from. Just say that there is water in the well at home and the vegetable garden is not dead. You can also say that when you go to the mountains in spring, you plant some near the deep mountain spring."
Li Laosi nodded repeatedly, but he couldn't help but think about these words. But at times like this, it’s good to have something to eat.
Who can break the casserole and ask the truth?
He came back in a hurry and left quickly. The villagers were curious and asked Mrs. Li while waiting in line to fetch water.
“Auntie, why is the fourth child running so fast? Is there something going on at home?”
"No, it was the **** agency that called him for help. Natural disasters are severe, and man-made disasters are also serious. Maybe there are bandits and bandits somewhere, I don't understand."
Old Mrs. Li waved her hands and spoke vaguely.
The villagers immediately started thinking and envied Li Laosi for making a lot of money every time he went out as a escort. Now it seems that this money is not so easy to get.
Bandits and bandits are all desperadoes, and it is simply too dangerous to deal with them.
Although they can't make that kind of money, they don't have to work hard either.
Thinking about it this way, many people feel balanced.
Old Mrs. Li saw everyone's expressions in her eyes, but she wasn't angry at all.
Human nature is like this. No matter how good we get along, we can’t help but compare ourselves to each other.
When there is comparison, jealousy arises.
Always, I hope you live a good life, but you cannot live a better life than me.
Even though the Li family tries their best to keep a low profile, they are still too conspicuous among the villagers...
But of course she is not willing to gather her children and grandchildren and eat and die like the people in the village.
So, act in a low profile and be a high-profile person.
Jiayin was lying in grandma’s arms. I didn’t know that grandma had so many thoughts on her mind. She was anxious to tidy up the vegetable patch in the small courtyard.
A simple calculation, even if it rains immediately tomorrow, it will be half a month before everyone can plant vegetables.
In other words, the family is robbing money... bah bah, the golden period for selling vegetables at home is only half a month.
Every effort is rewarded.
The seeds she sown in the fields can now be harvested.
But most of them are spinach, Chinese cabbage, rapeseed and the like. In the vegetable garden of the small courtyard, there are not many cucumbers, eggplants and beans.
Now I feel a little regretful. If I had known, it would be better to allocate one or two acres of land to grow vegetables...
But you can’t be too greedy.
The things we have in front of us, sold successfully, are enough for the family to spend for a year.
In the county town, Li Laoer and Manager Zhou came to see Li Laosi.
Hearing that the Li family could deliver so many vegetables and even fresh cherries every day, Manager Zhou was very happy and quickly made some calculations.
He was about to take Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si to find someone to sell vegetables, but Li Lao Si stopped him. "Brother Zhou, our family is an ordinary farmer. Taking out vegetables at this time is too eye-catching. If someone comes to our house to buy them forcibly, our family may not be able to withstand it."
How about I ask you to help me sell these vegetables from now on? Our family gives us a commission of 10% of the vegetable money. how do you feel? "
Manager Zhou was stunned for a moment, his mind turned, and his eyes lit up.
He was originally helping to pull strings, but now he can benefit himself, which is of course even better.
But he couldn't agree so easily, as if he valued money more.
So he shook his head repeatedly and tried his best to refuse.
Liu Biaotou looks rough and has a lot of eyes. At this time, he can see that Manager Zhou is hindered by his kindness.
Seeing that the Li brothers were also sincere in giving in, he slapped Manager Zhou twice and complained.
“We are all brothers, so what are you talking about? Don’t tell me that you don’t leave a little money for yourself when doing shopping on weekdays? Brother Li is sincere, so don’t take advantage of Qiao. It’s serious business to sell the vegetables quickly!”
Manager Zhou’s back hurt when he was patted, so he responded with a grimace.
“Okay, okay, I agree.”
He rubbed his back and told Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si.
"I will transport this cart of vegetables first. Don't worry, I will keep it and return it in an hour."
“Okay, thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhou.”
Li Laoer and Li Laosi were not worried. After all, **** chief Liu was there, and Manager Zhou did not dare to **** the things away.
After sending Guanshi Zhou off, Liu Biaotou and Li Laosi made plans.
The Liu family has nothing else, but they are fully equipped with weapons. The two competed in archery skills and fist and kick competitions.
Li Laoer cheered from time to time as he watched. It was the first time he admired his younger brother so much.
I usually only see him going up the mountain to look for pheasants and rabbits, but I didn't expect him to be so capable.
It's no wonder that Mr. Liu is very protective of their family. Having a good person like his younger brother to help him must be of great benefit to the bodyguard bureau.
Manager Zhou meant what he said and rushed back in less than an hour.
His face was full of smiles, and the corners of his mouth were almost hanging from his ears.
“Second brother Li, fourth brother, are so happy.”
Everyone heard that he changed his name and guessed that the vegetables must be selling well.
that's the truth.
Manager Zhou drove the carriage to the door of a familiar teahouse. There was a lack of water in the city, and the teahouse was half-dead and about to close.
Steward Zhou gave a handful of copper coins to the two boys and sent them to invite people.
Junyang County is not a big place, so in less than two quarters of an hour, five or six familiar stewards came over.
These people are all buyers of wealthy families in the city. We meet occasionally on weekdays. They chat and drink tea together and exchange information, so they become familiar with each other.
Manager Zhou is the least conspicuous among them, because the **** agency is far less wealthy than the other families.
If he hadn't said he had vegetables in his hand just now, these people wouldn't have been able to arrive so quickly.
When I saw with my own eyes the green vegetables, the juicy cucumbers and eggplants, the green cowpeas and oil beans.
Everyone is excited and their trip was not in vain!
These things used to be delivered to the government every day from the farm.
But with such a severe drought, the village's water supply has become a problem, and vegetables have not been delivered a few times since the beginning of spring.
Nowadays, the house relies on dried vegetables and fungus to support the family. The young master loses his temper and refuses to eat, and the old masters have blisters on their mouths.
Three meals a day is almost a embarrassment to the cooks.
If you bring the vegetables back today, the master will be happy.
It is secondary for them to receive rewards. They have a name in front of their master. The more important thing is that they will benefit a lot in the future.
Half a cart of vegetables was divided up almost in the blink of an eye, and was even considered too little.
But everyone was satisfied when they heard that there was still tomorrow.
