My whole family is dancing

Chapter 168 Bailihui Wants to Be the Chief

The village chief finally left in a huff, and stopped again when he reached the official road, turned around and looked at the large river beach full of weeds, his eyes were full of struggle, and he decided to follow if he considered whether to do it or not.

Seeing the two Baiguoer sisters driving the ducks over, they stepped forward cheerfully, "Guoer, tell Grandpa Wang why your family grows sugar cane?"

Bai Guoer smiled and said, "Grandpa Wang, are you going to sell the river beach to my family?"

Bai Fuer smiled, "If Grandpa Wang agrees, we will tell you."

The smile on the village head's face disappeared, and he felt that the two girls of Baijia were not cute anymore, but the more this happened, the more he felt that there must be something serious about Baijia.

What else can sugar cane be used for besides eating?

The next day, Bailihui returned with the men from the village. They stopped at the gate of Baijia, helped unload the things into the house, rubbed their hands and waited for the money.

Bai Changqing put on a posture, moved out the table, put a pile of scattered copper plates and silver on it, took out the roster that he made, and handed out money to each person.

Many people came from the village to watch the excitement, and the village chief also came, "I heard that Qingxi Village is a wealthy village, how do you feel about going this time?"

These words were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the men started talking in a hurry.

"It's really rich. Qingxi Village is about the same size as our village, but it's much richer than our village. The houses are more spacious and grand than the houses in our village."

"That's right, the village raises silkworms, and every household raises silkworms, and there is also a silk-killing workshop in the village."

"Our employer this time is Boss Shang, who deals in silk and satin. All the silkworm chrysalis in the village are sold to him. He is very rich. This time, Boss Shang's old mother is celebrating a big birthday. The ostentation was never imagined before. "

The people around heard the excitement, so they hurriedly asked how big the show was, what kind of dishes were served at the table, and the boss was in the business of silk and satin, did he also wear silk and satin clothes, etc.?
The man waiting for the money was also bored, and began to brag about how bright the silk and satin were, how grand and spacious the house was, how well the servants at home were dressed, and so on.

"It's very benevolent. We borrowed their stove to cook, and they generously gave us meat dishes."

The children were drooling, "Father, have you gone out to eat meat this time?"

"Well, let's eat!"

Even if you don't eat a few pieces of meat, you still have to brag about it, after all, it's the ostentation of rich people.

The village head was also very enthusiastic. He was not envious of a few pieces of meat, but wondered if his village could also raise silkworms. Raising silkworms is not tiring and can make money. How great it is.

After everyone in the village had collected their money and left, the village head asked Bailihui alone, and Bailihui told him, "Silkworm raising is profitable, but it's a tiring job, and we can't afford it now."

"The mountains and fields in Qingxi Village are full of mulberry trees. I heard from the village chief that every spring, the whole village gathers their efforts to plant mulberry trees. There are also mulberry trees in front of and behind every house."

"There are only a few mulberry trees in our village. Just ask Wazi and you will know. This is one of them."

"Secondly, the children in the village also raise silkworms for fun, and my Guoerfuer also wants to raise silkworms, so how many silkworms do they raise? The people in Qingxi Village have a house with tens of thousands of them, and they are for food. Too many, I have to get up twice in the middle of the night to feed, and I spend the whole day picking mulberry leaves on the mountain, and the whole family is dispatched, which is no easier than going down to the ground."

"Third, if you want to raise it, you have to raise more. It's best for every household to raise it. Who can sell it to?"

The village chief was worried again, and decided to go back and think about it. He wanted to ask Bailihui what the sugar cane was for, but he was afraid that Bailihui would directly talk about buying the river beach, so he went back with his hands behind his back.

Bai Changfu, who came back from the river beach, said that the village head was a little anxious now, and Bai Lihui said directly: "Although it's okay for a village to pull each other out, it can't be a disadvantage for my family, right?"

"It's the most difficult thing to deal with the folks in the village when it comes to money. Don't be ungrateful and offend people."

"It's not too difficult to boil sugar. What should we do if we learn it? Let's have a good discussion on this matter tonight."

After the meal, Bailichang talked about another matter, "I heard that the new county magistrate is going to elect a village chief. Our village is a big village, so we should have a village chief. After the old village chief left a few years ago, The previous county magistrate didn’t know what to think, he never assigned us, and several members of the Zhang family tried to fight for it, but it didn’t work.”

Bai Changfu put down his drinking bowl, "Father, do you want to try?"

Bai Changqing said, "I think dad is the right one in our village. Dozens of people follow dad to go out to make money. Does dad deserve credit for the village?"

"On weekdays, if there is anything in the village, I would go to my father, and my father would not confiscate the money."

"It's also planned to bring the whole village to grow sugar cane together, which is a good thing to bring the whole village to develop. Whoever should be the father."

As soon as the words came out, the whole family agreed.

Even Baifuer nodded, here a hundred households count as a village, and a village head is set up, even though a small village head, he still has a lot of power, at least he can talk about it in the yamen.

Competition is fierce.

Li Po was a little worried, "You go out often now, how can you manage so many things in the village?"

Bai Changqing smiled, "Mother, there are so many people in the family, as long as Dad tells us about those things, we can handle them, and let Dad do the work himself?"

Li Po gave him a white look, "You all go as soon as you leave."

"My second brother is here, and the two Changpu brothers are also here, and we will return after going out for two or three days."

"Mother, think about it, if my father becomes the head of the village, who would dare to say anything about you?"

Li Po snorted, "No one dares to say anything about me now. If there are still people bullying me now, it's just you guys who are useless."

Bai Fuer silently gave her grandma a thumbs up, well said!

Of course, Granny Li didn't really object. Now that she had this idea, she started to operate it. In the middle of the afternoon, Granny Li saw that everyone was at home, so she took out the hibiscus cake she had kept.

"Mother, you have developed again when we are not at home. How expensive is this hibiscus cake? You can keep it, we won't eat it."

Dim sum shops in the city sell fifty cents a catty, but none of them are willing to buy it.

Bai Yegen was so greedy that he almost ate his fingers, "Father, my third sister figured this out, and made it at home with my sister-in-law. It used a lot of noodles, eggs, oil, and sugar. It was delicious."

"Fu'er did it?"

The corners of Bai Changqing's eyes twitched, he felt that if the family were separated, his second brother's house would be wiped out by a single blessing, why is he so good at thinking?
The past few months have been full of blessings.

Picked up a piece and took a bite, it was soft and fragrant, swallowed it before tasting the taste, took another bite and tasted it slowly, "Delicious!"

Bai Chang'an also said it was delicious, not to mention Bai Nanxing. Unfortunately, those who don't like to study really can't use any good words to describe such delicious food.
