The Little Lucky Girl

Chapter 60 Herbal Tea 2

Especially since he is the village chief, he has the obligation to lead everyone forward.

It's because their village is so poor. The candy business can bring in more income and make a little money, but it's still a long way to go to make life comfortable.

He also tasted the herbal tea and found it was indeed delicious.

After working under the sun, I come back and drink a bowl of it. It is so relaxing that all the pores in my body open up and I feel refreshed from the inside out.

What's more, he has a secret that he hasn't told you yet.

There is a cave behind their village, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. There is also a small pond inside. If you put a bamboo tube in it for a while, the water in the tube will become cool.

If he left the herbal tea there overnight and took it out to sell the next day, he didn't believe that many people traveling in the hot summer could resist the temptation.

Guo Ren asked curiously, "Grandpa, why don't I know this place?"

Village chief Guo laughed and thought to himself, if you little bastards knew about this, there would be no place for us old guys in there. You guys are making so much noise that we are dying.

So only people of their generation knew about the place, and he didn't even tell his son.

Ming Youyou asked, "Is the cave far from the official road?"

"Not far," Village Chief Guo calculated, "If we drive the ox cart, we'll get there in an hour or two."

"This is not far." Ming Youyou was amazed.

Village Chief Guo patted her on the head and said, "If you can make money, why worry about the distance? Children should not be so lazy."

"No," Ming Youyou said hurriedly, "After walking for so long, how could the tea still be cold when we get there?"

This is indeed a problem. The village chief thought for a while and said, "How about I try using a few more quilts?"

Guo Ren also said: "Can we send another bucket after we sell one? That way they won't have to sit in the sun."

The village chief glared and said, it would be fine to just add one more person, but they also had to add an ox cart. It was not cost-effective.

The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's not do so many things. Just sell herbal tea honestly."

But Ming Youyou was unwilling. It would have been fine if she didn't know about the cave, but now that she knew about it but couldn't drink it, how uncomfortable it was.

In order for them to have a cup of cool tea when they go to the county town in the future, and a cup of sweet and refreshing tea when they come back, she decided to come up with a bold idea.

"I know a small hill very close to the official road. We can wrap a large barrel of tea tightly and roll it down the hill."

Village chief Guo thought this idea was incredible. If it was his grandson who proposed it, he would probably have slapped him.

Do you know how much a big bucket costs? It's a real waste of money.

But this kid had given them a lot of good ideas before, so he held back his words of blame and finally agreed to go with him to take a look.

There are many mountains around their village, and hillsides are nothing new to everyone.

So Village Chief Guo had never paid attention to this small hill before, mainly because there was too much grass here and they didn't need to pick herbs, so who would come here to feed mosquitoes for no reason? Wouldn't it be better for them to rest in their secret cave?

He gestured in the direction of the county town with a hint of surprise. He was very satisfied with the location. "Not bad, not bad. It would be very convenient if a road was built here."

Ming Youyou widened her eyes and said, "How can we build a road even if the mountain is so steep?" She didn't even dare to mention the idea.

Village Chief Guo laughed. Finally there was something that the kid couldn't understand. "Of course he can. When we were young, the roads we built were much more difficult than this."

Yuqing County is surrounded by mountains on all sides. There has always been a village that has been assigned labor service by the county government and has not been involved in mountain excavation and stone cutting, so this is not a big deal.

"But it takes a lot of effort to build the road, and it requires a lot of people."

If we rely on his family to do the business, there's no telling how long it will take, but selling herbal tea has nothing to do with others.

"That's easy. Just let everyone come and sell food." If every family takes this route, then everyone will be willing to work.

Moreover, with more people selling things, people who originally didn't want to stop on the road might come over to take a look when they see how lively it is. Wouldn't that mean business will be even better?

"That's a good idea," Village Chief Guo praised, "Your little brain is really quick."

He looked at his grandson Guo Ren with disdain again, "Hurry up, run back and invite your great-uncle to come over for me. Tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."

Ming Youyou stood on the hillside and looked down happily. Thinking that they could take a shortcut to the county town in the future, she was so happy that she almost jumped up. The village chief was so scared that he quickly pulled her back and said, "Be careful not to fall down."

She asked, "Second Grandfather, how are we going to repair this road?"

Village chief Guo was stumped by the question. When they were young, they all followed the county government to build roads. There were capable people who made the plans, and they just worked according to the requirements.

So this time when we need to repair it, we still need to ask a capable person to take a look.

It costs money to hire a capable person, and the more capable he is, the more money he needs. Village chief Guo felt distressed for a moment, and quickly thought about which capable person he had some connections with so that he could pay less.

When I thought about it, there really was one.

He is not an outsider, but the village chief of Ming Youyou’s village.

But the old guy is very smart. If he knew that the idea of ​​making money was given by Ming Youyou, would he try every means to get the child back? Oh, he really can't bear to let go.

Village Chief Guo's eyes flickered, and he looked at the child next to him and said, "How is your work for the court going?"

What job? Ming Youyou was at a loss for a moment, and finally remembered the excuse that Master Tao had given them, and immediately replied vaguely: "It's OK, it's OK, I'm working on it."

From what you said, it seems like I have to keep working on it for a while longer?

Village Chief Guo was very happy. "Okay, you are so young but you have to do so much work. It's really hard work. Come to Grandpa's house for dinner later. I will kill a chicken for you to eat."

When Ming Youyou heard that they were going to eat chicken, her eyes lit up, "Then can I make this chicken myself?"

Village Chief Guo laughed and said, "Why, have you come up with a new way to eat it?"

She nodded vigorously. "It will definitely be delicious. Just wait and see."

After that, she quietly let the system contact the certificate, "I will go make lotus leaf chicken later and try to send some to you. You must save some space in your stomach."

Speaking of lotus leaf chicken, it has something to do with the practice of preaching the truth.

On the day of Jinxiufang's opening, she took a video as usual. Just as she was about to send it to him, she suddenly thought of a question: "Why can I see the people from the research institute but not Brother Zhengdao?"
