Chapter 18 Sensation
The silver moon is like a hook, and the galaxy is vast.
The moonlight is gentle and falling, reflecting the grain drying field brightly and hazyly.
The words of the old village chief continued, and every sentence fell on the ears of Taoxi villagers, echoing non-stop.
"Xizhong Village came to quote yesterday. There were many people present at the time, and you can figure it out in your heart. That is no longer a purchase, but a squeeze! I know it's hard for the big guys, and I feel bad too, but we can't help it!"
"I thought I could just continue to bear it. But last night, Qiqi came to my house and told me, let's find a way out by ourselves. No one in the county will accept it. Let's go to the city to find someone to accept it." !"
"Jianhe and I thought about it for a long time, and finally gritted our teeth and decided to fight it out. This morning, before dawn, Jianhe and I took Qiqi and went to the city. Qiqi pointed out the way , we went to the largest agricultural and sideline products wholesale market in Huicheng!"
Speaking of this, the old village chief deliberately paused for a moment to whet the appetite of the villagers.
Someone couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Old village chief, keep talking! Then what happened?"
"Why is it so tempting at this time? Old village chief, you are trying to make us anxious, aren't you?"
"It's a great thing to talk about it just now! Did you find someone else to take our things? Oh, old village chief, hurry up and talk about it!"
Satisfied, the old village chief picked up the cup that was set aside, took a slow sip before speaking again.
"That's right, I found someone to receive the goods!"
"The watermelons and sweet potatoes in our village have signed a delivery contract with us, and we have tentatively agreed to deliver them for three years!"
"That is to say, within at least three years, we can make money safely and steadily!"
The crowd was aroused, and many old men and women stood up excitedly, "Old village chief, what price do you charge!"
The old village chief smiled, the dimples on his face turned into lines of laughter, and his words were loud and powerful, "Watermelons are not collected by the catty, but collected by the individual, fifty cents a melon! Sweet potatoes, according to the city's receipt price, three cents per catty money!"
The crowd was dead silent.
Then, like water falling into a frying pan, it exploded with a bang.
Fifty cents a watermelon!
They have been digging in the fields for so many years, who doesn’t know what kind of melons they grow?
They are all small melons, one can be up to three catties in size!
Fifty cents for a watermelon, calculated to be 16 cents per catty!
In comparison, the offer Xizhong Village gave them was just a fraction!
There are also sweet potatoes, which directly doubled the price of Xizhong Village!
The old woman sitting on the pony saddle tremblingly asked her wife, "Father, how many watermelons did our family plant this year? Where are the sweet potatoes?"
My wife's voice was trembling, "Watermelon, watermelon has five acres, sweet potato, three, three acres..."
The old couple looked at each other, raised ten fingers, and counted tremblingly. At the end of the count, they couldn't count, and tears fell down their cheeks first.
After working hard for most of their lives, this is the first time they have earned money with their hands!
The same picture is staged in every household.
The old village chief sat behind the wooden table, blinking his eyes hard, tears came out, but his smile was never taken away.
Chen Jianhe also had mixed feelings at this time. He lowered his head and looked at the little baby in his arms under the moonlight.
The baby nestled in his arms was very well-behaved, very quiet, even when she was smiling happily, she just pursed her small mouth in a shallow arc, timidly and silently.
It seems to be afraid, afraid that if you laugh out loud, you will be hated by others.
"Qiqi, this time you helped our Taoxi Village, it's awesome!" Chen Jianhe solemnly thanked with a hoarse voice, "Second Uncle represents the people of our village, thank you."
The little baby looked up at him, under the moonlight, those bright eyes were filled with surprise.
Then, the beautiful eyes bent into small crescents.
Wa'er shook her head and whispered to him, "Second uncle is wrong. It was you and the village head grandfather who went to the city and found someone, so that the villagers can sell things. And the things that the villagers sell are their own hard work. Those who came out should also thank themselves.”
"..." Chen Jianhe was silent for a moment, and couldn't help teasing the little baby, "What about you?"
"I didn't do anything, and I got a meat bun for nothing..." Wa'er said this, a little embarrassed.
The idea came from the balls.
The consignee was found by Chen Erbo and the village chief's grandfather.
The things that the villagers sell are grown by themselves.
Thinking about it this way, Qiqi felt that she had taken advantage of Chen Erbo and the village chief's grandfather for nothing, and felt a little guilty.
"Dandan, thank you." She expressed her gratitude to Dandan in her heart.
The little egg man lazily turned over in the sea of consciousness: this stupid cub.
Chen Jianhe stared at the little baby for a long time, and finally, tightened his arms to hug the baby tightly.
The commotion on the drying field could not be calmed down for a long time.
In the end, the old village head spoke to make the big guys stop temporarily.
"Jianhe, tell me a few words about the city we entered together this time, and tell everyone about the contract by the way." The old village chief took over Qiqi and gave up the position to Chen Jianhe.
Then, he walked around the encirclement with Qiqi in his arms, and specially held Qiqi high.
That posture, like an old knight leading a little princess on a parade, made Zhang Xifeng and Luo Yuqiong laugh secretly.
At the same time, it also secretly conveyed a message to the villagers that the old village chief will definitely protect Qi Qi from now on.
Chen Jianhe got the order, and he didn't shirk it.
Since it is a meeting, let's explain the matter clearly once.
He looked around the wooden table, and the villagers all looked at him, eagerly anticipating what to say next.
Chen Jianhe sank his mind and said, "The watermelons in the field can't be picked until they are half-ripe. I guess there are still ten days left."
"The big consignee in the city said that when the time comes, they will send someone to send a car to our village to receive the goods."
"In the next few days, everyone will take good care of the things in the field. Otherwise, if a watermelon is rotten, you will lose fifty cents."
"Also, I signed a contract with the old village chief. There is a stipulation in the contract that the things grown in our village can only be sold to their families. If someone has other ideas and wants to sell them to other people, After that, we won’t care about your things anymore.”
"If you are willing to sell goods with us, report to the old village chief these two days. The price has already been reported to you. As for the price and how high the goods will be sold after receiving our goods, that is theirs." We can't have any opinions on this matter, let alone make it as an afterthought!"
Chen Jianhe's next words are very serious.
Youdao is an ugly word first, lest someone make excuses to make trouble in the future.
At that time, Chen Zhima rotten millet will be confused.
The people in the village immediately responded.
"Jianhe, old village head, don't worry, people in our village can't do such a thing as crossing rivers and demolishing bridges!"
"That's right! What was it like when we were suppressed before? Now it's easy to find a new way out. Whoever dares to lose the chain, I, Old Li, will be the first to not spare him!"
"I also put my words here. A good way has already been laid under our feet. As long as we keep our feet on the ground, life will definitely get better and better! If anyone is lacking in heart and wants to swallow elephants in the end, don't blame me for being rude!"
The commotion in the grain drying field did not subside until late at night when all the villagers dispersed.
This night, many of the villagers in Taoxi Village, who are used to working early, did not fall asleep all night.
Early in the morning of the next day, before dawn, some people went to work on the field with a **** and scratched like a chicken blood.
Being under the pressure of a heavy life for too long, once you have hope and hope, you will not be full of energy!
Looking at those watermelons and sweet potatoes in the field that look like malnutrition, the eyes of the villagers also changed.
This is their golden bump!
It's fifty cents!
is three points!
