Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

When Li Yu and Aunt Wu returned to the village, the villagers looked at them with some flickering eyes.

They all knew that the rose cakes made by Xiu Wen's wife were sold at a high price in the county, and they were extremely envious.

They also want to do business and live a good life.

Li Yu felt these gazes, but ignored them and went straight home.

Aunt Wu felt her scalp tingling, and after walking away, she said, "Mrs. Xiuwen, why do I feel something is wrong? Some of them look as if they want to eat us."

Li Yu: "After all, this rose cake is very profitable." Although she made money in the past, she worked harder and actually bought meat and vegetables. Also, because there was a recipe, no one actually knew the cost of the braised meat and snacks, so they didn't feel so unbalanced.

This time it was different. The villagers saw the entire growing period of the roses. In their opinion, rose cakes are made of roses, and roses grow fast and bloom fast.

This is almost a profitable business.

"No, I don't think anything will happen. Why do I feel like they will steal the roses in the middle of the night?" Aunt Wu said in shock. "No, I have to arrange for someone to look after the rose garden in the next few days. We can't let these people destroy the roses."

Li Yu said: "Just wait and see. I think someone will come to find me before the evening."

Aunt Wu: “Who?”

Li Yu: "Village Chief!"

evening.

The village chief hesitated for several times, but finally knocked on Li Yu's door.

Han Xiaomei opened the door and saw that it was him. She said happily, "Uncle Li, my second sister-in-law has been waiting for you for a long time."

The village chief was stunned, "Does your second sister-in-law know that I'm coming?"

Han Xiaomei skipped forward and said, "Yes, my second sister-in-law made tea early."

The village chief pursed his lips and walked into the yard.

*

There are roses drying on the ground in the yard. After two days of drying, the roses are almost dried. After another day of drying tomorrow, they can be collected.

The village chief's wife was also at Li Yu's house. When she saw the village chief, she glared at him fiercely.

The village chief smiled at her ingratiatingly, then followed Han Xiaomei into the house.

Li Yu first offered the village chief a cup of tea, and then waited for him to speak.

The village chief hesitated for a while and said, "Daughter-in-law Xiu Wen, I have something to ask of you."

Li Yu looked at him for a few breaths, then smiled and said, "Uncle Li, you want the villagers to plant roses in the future, right?"

The village chief was surprised for a moment, but then he figured it out. Xiu Wen's wife was a smart one, so this was not surprising.

Sighing, the village chief said, "I know my request is excessive, but you have seen the situation of the villagers. The rose cake incident has caused a stir in the village. If you are still as strong as before, some people will definitely hate you. By then, stealing roses will be a small matter. Maybe some people will do something to hurt you and Xiaomei out of jealousy.

This is what I think. The roses are planted in the field now, and we can’t watch them every day and night. It’s okay in the summer, but it’s really not okay in the winter. It can freeze people to death. It’s better to let go and let everyone plant what they want. By then, everyone in the village will earn money, and they won’t think of doing those bad things. ”

Li Yu tapped the table with his fingers. "Uncle Li, you need to know one thing. I can sell rose cakes at such a high price because there are not many roses now. Scarcity makes things more expensive. By next year, everyone will be planting roses, and the price will definitely not be so high. And I only have so many roses in my field. Even if I cut all the rose branches next year, each family won't be able to take too many. I can't let everyone plant acres after acres."

"I understand." The village chief said, "If you are willing to let everyone plant next year, I will explain the relationship clearly and will never let them cause you any trouble."

"This is enough. We have just started this business and already someone is targeting us." The village chief's wife came over and gritted her teeth in anger.

The village chief sighed, "It's mainly because everyone's hearts are in turmoil, so this is the only way to calm them down. But I think most of the people in the village are good people, and they will remember your kindness in the future."

"Do whatever you want." The village chief's wife turned and left.

The village chief looked at her, then looked away and continued to ask Li Yu, "Xiu Wen's wife, do you agree with my proposal?"

At this point, Li Yu didn't drag it out and said, "Actually, before you came, Uncle Li, I discussed it with Aunt Wu, Aunt Li, Sister Xiangyun and the others. Everyone said that they would not stop the villagers from growing roses. But we have a request."

As long as you agree, the rest is not a big deal. The village chief said, "You say."

Li Yu said: "We have three requests. First, you are not allowed to steal our roses from the field. Second, we will not give out rose cuttings casually. If you want one, you have to pay for it. One cent for each. Third, after I sell the roses, I cannot guarantee whether they will survive."

One squid branch cost only one penny, which was not expensive at all, so the village chief agreed.

"Then I'll gather everyone together later and explain the situation to prevent anyone from stealing flowers tonight."

Li Yu: “Yeah.”

*

The end of the You hour (before 7pm).

Men, women, young and old from Qingshui Village gathered in the center of the village to listen to the village chief speak.

Li Yu also arrived. As soon as she appeared, everyone's eyes were focused on her, some of which were filled with jealousy and hatred.

But soon, when the village chief told people that Li Yu could sell rose branches and that they were only one penny each, most people's eyes turned to gratitude.

"Xiu Wen, are you really willing to let us plant roses as well?"

"You won't lie to us."

Li Yu nodded to the village chief and said to everyone, "I'm not lying to you. When the rose season here is over, I'll be able to give you pruning and cuttings."

The villagers looked at each other and became happy when they found that they were not hallucinating.

*

The only person who was unhappy was Chen Gui, who brought the news that Li Yu used roses to make cakes back to the village.

Chen Gui’s wife was so angry that she went home and sat at the table in anger.

"Boss, why are you so quick-witted during the day? Now we can't make any money at all."

Their family was lucky; they took two rose branches and both grew well when they got home.

If Chen Gui had not been so quick-witted when he came back from the county, they could have sold the roses first, and then sold the rose branches to the villagers at a high price.

Now, the matter has become too serious, and Xiuwen's wife asked everyone to grow it. They can only sell roses, and the flower branches can only be sold at a low price.

How can I not feel sad after losing so much money for nothing?

Li Yu slept soundly all night.

The next day, when she was about to go out to sell snacks again, Aunt Wu came to find her first.

It turned out that a few people went to steal roses last night and were caught red-handed by the village chief who was in charge of watching the land, Han Sheng, Wang Dafu, and Wang Erfu.

The village chief was so angry. He had good intentions in trying to find a way out for the villagers, but these people turned around and slapped him in the face.

Without any hesitation, he said he would take these people to the county government to be punished.

Aunt Wu cursed a few times, then continued, "The village chief is leaving soon. Should we go with them? It's a good opportunity to keep each other company."

Li Yu looked at the sky and said, "Aunt Wu, don't worry. Let's make a few more boxes of rose cakes today and leave after they are done."

She had a feeling that today's rose cakes would sell out faster than yesterday!
