Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 45 Let's Talk About Cooperation

"Wait, I'll go in and call someone for you."

"Okay, thank you ma'am."

"Xiao Hua, get up, don't go to sleep, someone is here to ask something." Xiao Hua looked drowsy from a nap at noon, and was pulled up by Granny Ruan.Now Jingniang went to help Xiaohua transplant seedlings in the field.Although the seedlings she cultivated were not as good as imagined, and they were a little yellow, but they were pretty good. After all, she had never planted a field, and she planted them at home when she was young, but she was so young at that time, how could she remember how to make them? , to be able to toss out seedlings is not bad.And it's much better than the ones in Jingniang's field.

"Grandma, who is it?" Xiao Hua was still sleeping in a foggy state, looking bewildered.

"Look for yourself, grandma doesn't know either." Xiao Hua was dragged into the yard by Granny Ruan, and when the sun shone, Xiao Hua regained her energy in an instant, but her eyes still couldn't open.

"Hello, what can I do?" Xiaohua squinted her eyes and asked very politely.

"Hello, my surname is Liu. I'm the shopkeeper of Yuelai Restaurant in the town. You can call me shopkeeper Liu. I want to come here to find a shop that buys dried bamboo shoots." Shopkeeper Liu didn't look down upon seeing a little girl coming out. Instead, he introduced himself frankly and told the reason for asking for directions.

"Hello, uncle. First of all, I have to say that I don't understand what you are saying. Can you find someone who understands to translate it?" Xiaohua sat on the small chair very calmly, squinting He looked at Shopkeeper Liu carefully.

Shopkeeper Liu gestured for a long time, trying to tell Xiao Hua what his name was and what he was here for.It's a pity that after dancing for a long time, Xiao Hua and Mrs. Ruan didn't understand.

Shopkeeper Liu was sweating profusely, so he shook his head, waved at Xiaohua and the others, got into the carriage and went forward, thinking, if you don't understand, there will always be someone who can understand, I'll ask someone else.

Shopkeeper Liu asked several families along the way, but no one understood what he was talking about. While watching, under the banyan tree, there are many women sitting there chatting.Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while, got out of the car, walked towards the group of women, stopped in front of them, and after giving the group of women a cup of hands, he began to introduce himself.

It's a pity that his words were heard by those women as chickens and ducks, and they didn't understand at all.

Among this group of women, the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief happened to be there. She saw that this person was wearing a navy blue silk gown, and his aura was not owned by the villagers, and he came driving a carriage. How many people around here? Who in the village can afford a carriage?Even having an ox cart at home is a big deal.

Thinking of this, I hurried home to tell my father-in-law. After all, my father-in-law is the head of a village, and many things need to be decided by him. He is in charge of everything in this village, right?

When Village Chief Cheng came out, he happened to see shopkeeper Liu's troubled face, so he stepped forward and asked him what's the matter?

Shopkeeper Liu frowned when he saw another person speaking the local dialect.But there is no way, because everyone can't understand, and everyone will not reply to him after talking.I had no choice but to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, so I opened my mouth and said who I am and what I am here for.

As soon as the village head heard that it was the accent and language of the town, he immediately answered in the town dialect. He is the village head of this village, and he asked shopkeeper Liu to rest assured that he would come back to ask for help later, and then took him there.

Shopkeeper Liu cupped his hands towards the village chief, still saying words of gratitude.

The village chief asked the group of women again if anyone knew which shop sold dried bamboo shoots at the market in Huangcun.It happened that the Zhou family was over there, and when they heard it, they thought of Xiaohua's house, and thought it was something bad, so they said, "I heard that Jiazhu's house is harvesting bamboo shoots these days, and I don't know if it has anything to do with them." , how about the village chief go and ask, and by the way, let’s find out if it’s true?” Zhou’s mouth was a little broken, but he was also a little clever, thinking he could take the opportunity to find out if it was true.The women who went together that night were too strict with their mouths, and they couldn't ask a word for a long time.In fact, people's hearts are selfish. If people tell you, wouldn't they dig a lot less?It is equivalent to earning a lot of less money. You must know that they can pay for the wages of their wages for several days in one morning without much effort.

What's more, in just two or three days, each family earned eighty or ninety cash, which is usually several months' wages.So why tell them?It wasn't that she didn't want to come, and it wasn't that she didn't call.

Village Chief Cheng nodded and asked shopkeeper Liu to leave the carriage at his house, and then took him to Xiao Hua's house.Here, Mrs. Zhou secretly followed behind, wanting to find out what the situation was.

Shopkeeper Liu over there looked at this, isn't this the way you just came?But the questions are the questions, and he didn't say much, and followed silently.

When they arrived at Xiao Hua's house, the village head shouted from outside the fence: "Is my sister-in-law at home? I'm Wen Qiang."

As soon as Mrs. Ruan heard that she was the village chief, she hurried out: "Brother Wen Qiang, why do you have time to come over today? Come in quickly." She narrowed her eyes and walked forward to meet her.

Not long after Xiaohua went back to the house to lie down, she earned a tael of silver at home this morning. She was very happy, and she was having a sweet dream right now. Wondering, who is Wen Qiang?I had to get up and go out to have a look.As a result, he saw the village head at a glance, and then looked at the person who spoke the bird language behind the village head.So he curled his lips and planned to go back to the house and continue to sleep.

"Sister-in-law, this is shopkeeper Liu of Yuelai Restaurant in the town. He wants to find the shop that sells dried bamboo shoots in Huangcun. He heard that your family is collecting bamboo shoots these two days. I want to ask, is it your family?" Cheng The village chief explained the reason for coming to their house.

When Xiaohua heard this, she immediately regained her spirits. It's a good feeling. I just left a group in the morning, and today there is a benefactor coming to the door. Why not do it.

So he quickly stepped forward, "Hi shopkeeper Liu, my name is Cheng Xiaohua, you can call me Xiaohua, what can I do?" Xiaohua was very satisfied with shopkeeper Liu's visit, so she went straight to the topic.

"Hello, Miss Cheng, I want to confirm with you, have you ever set up a stall in Huangcun before? Are the dried bamboo shoots made by your family?" Shopkeeper Liu looked cautious.The village head was helping with the translation, and now Xiaohua understood.

"Yes, we sold it there before. The first time we sold it for one catty, and the second time we sold it for 50 catties. May I ask what you can do?" Xiaohua was a little depressed. Do I need to ask?We all asked about this.

"It seems that it is indeed your home. Ms. Cheng, our Yuelai Restaurant wants to cooperate with you and buy dried bamboo shoots from you. The price is definitely more fair than those outside. What do you think?" Shopkeeper Liu did not expect that one day he would meet an 8 year old girl talks about business.The village head was also very surprised that there was such a thing. Why didn't he know about it, and he didn't hear about it. It's a good thing.
