Good luck every time

This person was of high seniority and his words carried weight; as soon as he opened his mouth, many people cheered and responded.

But because the boss didn't say anything, those who were cheering quickly stopped.

In this village, although the elders are respected, the chief is the leader.

This is a fact recognized by everyone.

After this incident, the boss has already figured out what many people are thinking.

There is no need to suppress it anymore.

He sighed.

"I know that too! But Li Ruyi will not only buy our fruit wine, but also our dried meat at a high price."

A little old man in the crowd sneered.

"How much higher can her price be? She's just trying to fool you!"

The boss sighed again.

"It's only about 30% to 40% higher... not much more!"

The surroundings became quiet for a moment.

A price half a percentage point higher is already considered a premium, let alone a price 30% or 40% higher.

When the old man heard this, he sneered even more, looking like he was not fooled at all.

"This kind of woman has the most tricks, just like how she concealed her identity in the beginning. If we cooperate with her and she regrets it later, I'm afraid we will lose even the previous opportunities!"

"Don't you think about it? When that time comes, how are we going to find a way out?"

The big boss laughed, but his smile was not deep.

The skill of making pickled meat has been passed down in the village for many years, but it was only in the last decade or so that the village became prosperous.

It was not because his craftsmanship had improved, but because when the eldest boss was a teenager, he ignored the opposition in the village and insisted on selling the dried meat that he usually sold at the market to merchants.

Because of this incident, he was scolded for two or three years.

Those voices gradually faded away until the village raised more pigs, made more dried meat, and earned more money.

Now, he is in his prime, strong and powerful, with an overwhelming presence. How could he care about the insults that he didn't care about when he was a teenager? ?

However, the boss would not directly talk about his own "hard work and great contributions" in the past.

When negotiating important matters, those who reminisce about the past are either trying to play the emotional card to force others to compromise, or they have no ability and can only sit on the past achievements to live off their past achievements.

The boss is really not that kind of person.

Moreover, Li Ruyi gave him more confidence!

"What you said does make sense, but Li Ruyi also agreed that she can exchange the dried meat for grain this time, and the grain price will be 30% lower than the market price..."

In an instant, all the discussions and scolding disappeared.

Some people who followed Li Ruyi down the mountain and had a full meal with him suddenly felt refreshed when they saw this scene and expressed their feelings.

"I heard it can be exchanged for three thousand kilograms!"

The wind blew, night fell, and crackling sounds were heard among the flickering flames.

Everyone's eyes fell on the old man who had been unwilling just now.

The old man was stunned for a moment and very angry!

The boss threw out benefits bit by bit, obviously just to see him end up being deserted by everyone!

Of course, the boss is not that boring.

It’s just that some people always think that they are extremely important to this world!

"You...you guys! You are so confused!"

The old man thought for a long time before he uttered this sentence.

He took a deep breath.

"Don't you think about it? This person has paid so much, so he must have big plans. This... this... this is a lie to you!"

The boss was not surprised by the other party's reaction.

Li Ruyi has been planning for three or four years. If he had no ulterior motive, the boss would not believe it.

But he understood one thing more clearly.

If the person who spoke was Li Er instead of Li Ruyi, the people in the village would probably have a different attitude.

Speaking of plot, the boss felt that Li Ruyi's plan was to stand upright in the world as a woman.

The number of people around her has never decreased over the years because of her identity. Those who follow her are always by her side, even though she is a woman and even though she is still young...

Such a person is worth the boss's gamble.

If it succeeds, the village will have better days in the future.

If that doesn't work, the worst that can happen is that he will have to walk the same path he has walked before again!

This is a path that he dared to take when he was a teenager, let alone when he was in his thirties or forties.

The boss finally said something sharp at this moment.

"It's not a lie. After all, the grain is real. It's much better than those of the merchants!"

"I've asked too. Although it's the cheapest old grain, the quantity is definitely not a penny less. I also think that if you're willing to talk, you might be able to find out more."

"The only food left in the village is fodder for pigs. Every household has no surplus food. The food is not for living, but for survival!"

The old man was very angry.

In his heart, even if he doesn't fight for the bread, he has to fight for his dignity.

"You are disregarding the ancestral etiquette!"

There were many people like him. He shouted and pointed at the boss's nose and started cursing.

At the same time, several people stood up behind him.

The boss took these people's behavior into consideration and decided that these people were the ones that needed to be kept a close eye on during this period of time.

He clapped his hands to quiet people down.

The old man wanted to say something, but at this moment, the old man who started cursing suddenly said "ouch".

"Ouch! Ouch!"

He slapped his thigh repeatedly, causing everyone around him to look at him.

He looked very sad.

"I'm so stupid. When I came out, I asked my grandson to watch the fire. I'm afraid that the little bastard has boiled the water dry again. I can smell the burning smell! You guys talk first, I'll go back and check the fire..."

Everyone:...

The old man turned around and ran, very fast.

After he ran out of sight, that idiot spoke.

"My cousin has a really good nose! He can smell his kid burning something from a fire even from two miles away!"

I don't know whose laughter this sentence made, but a few laughs suddenly broke out in the crowd, but were immediately suppressed.

After this episode, those who had been clamoring before can no longer be so arrogant.

The conversation thus ended hastily, and everyone went back home to discuss the matter.

However, it is only a matter of time before he agrees.

Li Ruyi had spent so many years to build up trust, and at such a critical moment, she put forward such an attractive condition. What kind of stubborn person would be able to refuse?!

The whole family has to be stubborn, otherwise if one person wants to survive, the family will be in chaos.

The boss knew this in his heart.

But Li Ruyi had already walked ahead of him. The other party could see farther and walked more smoothly than him. All he could do was go with the flow or watch the other party's back as he walked away.

If you ask how to choose, how many people can give up the benefits that are within their reach just to satisfy their inner jealousy?

That’s right, in the boss’s opinion, those who are unwilling are all because of jealousy.

All the etiquette and dogma are just because those people cannot accept the ridiculous mood of a woman who is stronger than them.

There is neither national hatred nor family feud, nor conflict of positions. When you can't even afford to eat, you still care about whether the other person is a man or a woman. You are simply sick in the brain!

Of course, as the leader of a village, the boss has more things to consider. He also deeply understands that these mentally ill people will never disappear. Even if they eat the food brought by Li Ruyi, they will not shut up.

He was walking on his way home when someone soon came running over.

The boss stopped when he heard the footsteps and saw seven or eight people coming over to surround him and asking him about exchanging food.

Some people were worried that there were too many opposing voices in the village and that the head of the village would be influenced, so they thought it would be better to split up and exchange them one household at a time.

Some people also asked about the food situation. If the village changed, how much each household would get? It seemed that having a rule would make it easier to decide.

After a while, some other people came over to join in the fun and listened quietly to the conversation.

Of course there is no charter for something that has not even been decided whether to change or not.

Because everything is still uncertain, everyone's enthusiasm is even higher, and they are racking their brains to find ways to get more food for themselves.

Some people don't want it, but some people are very willing to have it!

More and more people stood around the boss, surrounding him in three layers, and it was not until midnight that they dispersed.

But the village is still bustling.

As soon as the news got out, many people couldn't sleep.

There is not much dried meat in the village nowadays. When there is no food to eat, we cannot just sit there with the food and let our family starve to death.

But after having hope, many people went home and locked up the dried meat they had at home.

Many families stayed up all night, discussing what to do.

The village had not been so lively for a long time because of a shortage of food.

The next morning, many people who had not rested were still full of energy. They visited each other and were all talking about selling dried meat in exchange for food.

The matter of Li Ruyi changing from a man to a woman was suppressed because of the issue of exchanging food.

Everyone assumed that she was a girl, but they didn't pay too much attention to it.

In this atmosphere, the deal with Li Ruyi has become a trend. Even though conspiracy theorists are trying to find loopholes all the time, they can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

The boss took four days to discuss all the issues.

He brought a few more people down the mountain.

Li Ruyi has been in a very calm state of mind these days. She has laid so much groundwork in the early stages and is about to finish. How could she not be patient!

The boss was a little stunned when he saw her condition.

I used to treat her as a boy and didn't think anything of it.

Now that he knew she was a girl, the boss suddenly discovered that Li Ruyi was not only smart, but she had also become a little expert whose strength was almost the same as the boss's!

This girl is a talented and brave girl with both literary and martial skills!

In this way, looking back at Li Ruyi's past, he felt even more frightened.

He understood that anyone who couldn't kill Li Ruyi would become her stepping stone.

Li Ruyi didn't know what he was thinking.

Reaching the top was just an unexpected gain on her road to freedom. If the world allowed, she would actually prefer to directly pursue the life she longed for.

When the two met this time, there was a little more distance in their calm relationship.

However, the discussions on cooperation went more smoothly.

Both of them have rules in their hearts. They can make concessions when they can, and they will not give in when they cannot. They play Tai Chi, act pitiful, and then use their own positions to control each other...

They talked from morning to evening, and all the matters involved were discussed clearly.

Including how the food is delivered, where to weigh it, how often the jerky is delivered, who will pick it up, who will deliver it...

There are many details.

At the end of the discussion, we finally came up with a method that everyone was satisfied with.

Li Ruyi finally achieved the purpose of this trip. After staying here for several days, he started his return journey.

After returning to Sanjia Village, Li Ruyi first explained everything to his elder sister.

Li Shiliu and Li Er'er were both very busy, Li Shiwu was not capable enough to take charge, and since he had just gotten married, Li Ruyi did not dare to hand things over to him.

On the contrary, Li Jixiang was more able to take on the task because he had been exchanging food for others and taking inventory of the warehouse during this period.

Most importantly, her Tai Chi skills are getting better and better.

When it comes to things Li Ruyi asks her to do, she will solve them herself if she has the decision to do so. But when it comes to the discussion stage, she will push everything onto Li Ruyi.

This approach makes it completely impossible to catch the tail.

Moreover, if you think about it from another perspective, this is also a manifestation of being principled and rejecting people.

With Granny Ding and the third brother in charge, and Sanjia Village being Li Ruyi's territory, it's unlikely that anything will go wrong.

The only thing to worry about is whether taking so much food out might leak out and cause unnecessary trouble.

The people in the village regard Li Ruyi as their last resort. No matter what calculations they have in their minds, they all have the same attitude when facing the outside world.

Sanjia Village has always been safe, not only because of Li Ruyi's efforts, but also because every household in Sanjia Village has people patrolling and defending, and they are all doing their best to resist the invasion of outsiders.

That's how all the things in Li Ruyi's house can be kept safe.

She must be worried that after the grain was sold, the villagers would do something to hurt her because of various emotions.

Without mentioning anything else, just say that if they collude with people from other villages and let in some petty thieves, even if they cannot cause losses to the Li family, it will be enough to cause a headache.

Li Ruyi thought about it and felt that he should tell the village head.

Sun Xiaohua was settling accounts with Li Ruyi. Even if she didn't tell him exactly how much grain Li Ruyi had, he would know it by quite a bit. The head of the village was also an old man with great experience, and he would definitely be able to tell something from his granddaughter's attitude.

However, the village head was not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have allowed Sun Xiaohua to follow Li Ruyi.

Even if he wanted to take Li Ruyi's food, he would not make unreasonable demands.

Li Ruyi had known the head of the village for many years and had already figured out this man's temperament and character.

If she wanted to find a respected person in the village to cover for her, it would have to be the village head!

On the way back, Li Ruyi thought for a long time. She couldn't make changes with a compensatory mentality just to appease the villagers. People's desires are insatiable. If she did so, the villagers would only think that she was weak and could be bullied.

The best way is to unite the village chiefs and elders and tie all these people onto their boat.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Li Ruyi suddenly became enlightened.

To her, Sanjia Village was nothing more than a pile of loose sand. The reason why everyone was able to unite together was because of their belief in surviving the disaster.

But this belief will fade away sooner or later. If she really wants to turn Sanjia Village into her most solid backing, she should use a stable chain of interests to tie everyone together.
