Chapter 63
Unexpectedly.

The situation on Xiao Zhihai's side is roughly the same as Li Shuixian's. He just negotiated the acquisition with the villagers.

Just a word from Xiao Cheng turned the tables against the wind.

After hearing this, everyone toasted Xiao Cheng one after another, and they didn't even like him, let alone talk about business.

Even the good cigarettes he shared before were used to honor Xiao Cheng, but Xiao Cheng still didn't like them, so he put the cigarettes on his ears.

No one would light a match when they were handed over.

Xiao Zhihai knew that there was no hope for the people at this table, so he had to wait for others to buy chestnuts after dinner.

The terms of the purchase also had to be closer to Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu, and they wanted to just pay a deposit and take away all the goods. It was impossible, and none of the villagers would agree.

After the meal, all the chestnuts in Xiaojia Village belonged.

The chestnuts that Xiao Zhihai and Li Shuixian bought were all bought from the villagers of the Xiao family who had been to the town to go to the market in recent years.

The Xiao family in Longcheng also secretly bought a lot of news from unknown sources.

What's more, the full price was paid, and they came to buy goods after Qingming, and many Xiao family villagers sold them to them.

But they had never made sugar-fried chestnuts, did not master the core technology, and were worried about losing money, so they only paid part of the full amount.

For the rest, the deposit is paid first, the goods are ordered, and the goods will be picked up later before the final payment.

Under the guidance of their grandpa and grandma, Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu met many elders who were full of children and grandchildren, and each family had at least ten thousand catties of chestnuts, all of which were reserved for them.

Guaranteed by the prestige and status of grandparents in the clan, some elders also agreed that the deposit can be paid later, and the chestnut will always be kept for Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

Just settle it once when you come to pick up the goods.

With such a big move to buy chestnuts collectively, the Xiao family who came back from Nanshi naturally heard the news.

But they look down on this kind of small street business, thinking that the market is limited, the prospects are mediocre, there is no technical content, it will be copied by the market soon, and it is not worth investing in.

Only big projects in the city are worthy of their investment, with broad prospects for development, promising future, and guaranteed profits without losing money.

After setting up all matters, the rest time after meal is over, and it is time to go up the mountain to pay respects to another ancestral tomb.

Bai Lu's foot injury was not healed, Xiao Cheng refused to let her go up the mountain, and even left Xiao Wei behind.

The name is to protect her stomach.

For the chestnuts at Grandpa and Grandma’s house, after sweeping the tomb in Qingming, Xiao Cheng will come to collect the goods and pay for the rice and piglets.

Maybe it's because there will be piglets soon, grandpa is so happy, his rheumatism legs don't hurt, he walks very smoothly, and in the afternoon, he went up the mountain with grandma to worship the ancestors.

By the way, step on the spot where there is pigweed, wait for the little piggy to come back, and then go up the mountain to cut pigweed to feed the little piggy.

Bai Lu, Xiao Wei, Li Hongying and several housewives of the Xiao family carried large vegetable baskets and went to wash vegetables by the small river at the foot of the mountain.

Li Hongying also worshiped the ancestors on the mountain in the morning, but didn't go in the afternoon, leaving Zhang Luo and some people to prepare dinner.

The mountain road is rough and difficult to walk, and it takes a lot of time to go back to the town, city, and city. Dinner must be prepared early, and everyone will come back from worshiping ancestors before they can finish their meal and start their journey early.

Try to get on the big road before dark, otherwise the road will be slippery when it rains, and the mountain road has no guardrails, making driving very dangerous.

What Li Hongying and Xiao's housewives washed were Chinese cabbage, lettuce, celery, and white radish.

Bai Lu washed the garlic sprouts, and Xiao Wei, who was squatting next to her, held a knife to help peel the garlic sprouts.

The aunt next to him praised Xiao Wei for his diligence: "You are really capable at such a young age. Our little monkey runs all over the mountains like a wild horse when he is on vacation. Knowing that everyone will come back to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival, he is so excited that he sleeps all night. No, we will gather in the square early this morning carrying a hoe."

"As a result, I ran too fast when I was going down the mountain. I accidentally fell down and scratched both knees. I didn't let him go up the mountain in the afternoon, and he couldn't stay idle. He limped and turned to the fruit forest on the other side of the river. , pick plums and green dates to eat."

"Why don't you go pick fruit and eat together?" My aunt asked her son to call Xiao Wei, but Xiao Wei refused.

Xiao Wei's temperament is the same as Xiao Cheng's, he is taciturn and rarely communicates with his neighbors. His aunt's long-winded speeches only get him four words: "I don't like to eat."

"I don't like to eat plums and green dates. There are mulberry fruits over there. The mulberry fruits are very sweet and delicious."

Li Hongying pointed to the upper right of the river and said: "There is a small wooden bridge over there, and it is very close to the opposite side."

Xiao Wei, who lowered his head and cut the garlic roots, replied with the same four words: "I don't like to eat."

Li Hongying and her aunts were a little embarrassed when their good intentions were repeatedly rejected. They thought that the fruits in the country might not be as good as those in the town, and they were rejected by Xiao Wei.

I didn't speak for a while.

Bai Lu washed the garlic and gave it to Xiao Wei, and explained with a smile: "Xiao Wei's personality is the same as Xiao Cheng's. He doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't say what he likes to eat. Usually I buy it back and put it on the table. What does he like to eat?" help yourself."

"He and Xiao Cheng also seldom chat with people. We usually have nothing to say to me. After school, we go back to the house to do homework, and rarely go out to play with others."

It turned out to be a character reason, not disgust.

Li Hongying and her aunts were relieved immediately, and smiled again, and continued talking and laughing.

Talking to Bai Lu is also much more natural.

Everyone felt that as a boss who went to the countryside to buy chestnuts, not only did she not have the slightest attitude of being superior, but she also had a very good temper and was very talkative.

Unlike previous years, the boss who collects star anise in the mountains is arrogant and rude. When picking star anise, he throws it here and there, always saying that this is not good and that is not good.

When Li Shuixian threw out the acquisition conditions, his tone was full of charity, disgust, and his face was condescending.

It's not that they don't understand, it's just that they have to swallow their heartache to flatter them for the sake of living.

Fortunately, the elders in their family finally reserved the chestnut for Bai Lu, and everyone was happy.

Li Hongying's family also has tens of thousands of catties of chestnuts, but Xiao Guofu dilly-dallyed and never made a decision.

What to say about the dilemma.

Li Hongying didn't bother to intervene, but now her mind changed, she wanted to sell the chestnut to Bai Lu.

If Xiao Guofu disagrees, let him talk to Grandpa, Grandpa and Grandma will teach him how to behave.

Chinese cabbage, lettuce and radishes are easy to wash, and they can be washed quickly if there are many people. Li Hongying said to Bai Lu: "This little green vegetable may not be enough. The cabbage heart in the vegetable field can be picked. Let's go pick some back. You wash it first, and there will be more vegetables." If something calls me, the vegetable field is not far away, I can hear it."

Bai Lu said hello.

Li Hongying and her aunts went upstream, and her vegetable field was upstream, separated by layers of field ridges.

It's not very high, you can see it when you stand up.

"what is this?"

Xiao Wei stared at the little thing crawling slowly in the river, showed a curious expression for the first time, and asked Bai Lu.

When he came, he saw it, and thought it was a small stone, but after peeling the garlic for a while, the position of the small stone became far away, and it obviously moved, so it was not a small stone.

Just crawl very, very slowly.
