The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying thought about it and said that she would find someone in the village to clear the homestead first, and let Manager Quan choose the nearest auspicious day to start construction. She didn't care about these things, but the workers still had to be particular, so she let Manager Quan make the decision.

After telling Manager Quan about the style of the house and yard she wanted, Manager Quan calculated that such a large yard would cost 500 taels. So Bai Tieying discussed using her design for the house and the method of building the kang to get a discount for herself, and Manager Quan agreed that if the effect was really as she said, he would only charge 300 taels.

After seeing off the shopkeeper Quan, Bai Tieying went to Grandpa Wu's house with his uncle. This time, Bai Tieying could finally bring ginseng and ganoderma lucidum. His uncle also researched ganoderma lucidum spore powder. It was actually very simple. As long as well water was added during the preparation process, the well water would help the spores break through the wall, and the effective ingredients would not only be released, but also play a greater role.

Uncle and Grandpa Wu were having a good chat, and the rest of the family was in the fields, so Bai Tieying was pulled aside by Grandma Wu to talk. Bai Tieying felt something was wrong, so he interrupted:

"Grandpa Wu, are you saying there might be a severe drought this year?"

"Yes, it hasn't rained since the Dragon Boat Festival, which is definitely not normal. If our village wasn't close to Beishan River, water for crops would definitely be a problem. But the land in our village is all in the south, and the places close to Beishan River are all vegetable gardens and so on. Carrying water every day takes up too much time. And this is not the most troublesome thing, I'm worried..."

"Insect plague?"

"Oh my God! I can't say that!" Grandma Wu quickly covered Bai Tieying's mouth and immediately muttered something like "Children don't mean what they say, please don't blame me, God."

Bai Tieying didn't say anything more, but she knew from Grandpa Wu's expression that she had guessed right. So she motioned for Grandma Wu to take her hand away and said to Grandpa Wu:

"Grandpa Wu, I have two ways to partially solve the current and future problems. But as you know, the promotion of new things is always accompanied by doubts. I have limited energy to deal with this mountain product business, so... do you want to come out of the mountain?"

"No, why leave the mountain? You are the one who can do more work! Do you know why it is so difficult for you to deal with this mountain product? If you want to realize your dream in the future, you should take the first step yourself."

"Uh...Okay Grandpa Wu!" Bai Tieying knew that Grandpa Wu firstly wanted to continue his previous "low-key" life, secondly, he didn't want to show that he was particularly close to her so that he could stand up and speak for her in the future, and thirdly, he wanted to train her ability to handle things, because compared with her dreams, these were indeed trivial matters.

When they returned to the mud house, Bai Tieying sent her uncle into the space, and she started cleaning outside. Water was boiled in the kitchen, and smoke came out of the chimney, and the mud house came alive.

Since Uncle was so generous, the things in this mud house had to be cleaned up. Bai Tieying kept some things for face, and after putting the rest into the space, she went in to make lunch. After lunch, she took a nice nap, because there was another battle waiting for her tonight!

At the time after dinner at other people's houses, Bai Tieying appeared under the sacred tree as scheduled. She still borrowed tables and chairs from Village Chief Wang's house and asked him to help keep accounts and put fingerprints. There was no other way. First, her calligraphy was still at the stage of writing large characters under the guidance of her uncle. Second, she didn't have that much prestige. If Village Chief Wang didn't guarantee her, some villagers might say something later.

"Is Grandma Geng here? Who's here from the Geng family? Is Brother Gutou here? All right, come here and get your money. Two catties of top-quality dried beans, a total of eight coins. I won't take a cut from anyone who orders less than fifty coins this time. Wait for Grandpa Wang to check it out, then put your fingerprint on the book, and then take back the beans that are less than top-quality from your family, and our deal is done!"

When the villagers heard what Bai Tieying said, they all started to think about it. Some people who knew that they didn't send any good things started to ask anxiously: "Tieying, why did you bring it back? Can't we eat it all? Why do we have to distinguish the quality?"

"Is it Aunt Feng? I'm trying not to waste everyone's time. Okay, I'll just say a few words." Bai Tieying was happy. He was afraid that everyone would keep silent and think about it in their hearts. Now that someone was giving him a chance, he could take the opportunity to talk about it.

"I know that some villagers don't quite believe me when I said before that I had contacted Chunfutang in the county to sell mountain products at high prices, but since everyone has come to support me, I would like to thank you all on behalf of my Bai family!" Bai Tieying said and bowed to everyone.

"Although there are favors involved, Chunfutang is a business after all, and it is impossible for them to help me at a loss, so they only promised to give me the highest price in the county for the top-quality mountain products. Even so, we have also gained benefits, so we cannot give them mountain products that do not meet the requirements, so I have selected the mountain products sent by each family, and only sell the top-quality ones for everyone.

I did this for two reasons: first, for the sake of reputation. This success is the beginning of the next one. Second, I wanted to take a different path from others in selling mountain products and improve the quality of our Xianhe Village products. In the future, no matter whether they are still sold here or not, as long as they are said to be mountain products from Xianhe Village, everyone will know what quality they are and the price will not be too low.

Besides, if the mountain products are lower than the top grade, they won’t hinder you from selling them to others, nor will they hinder you from eating them, so you can just deal with them on your own. I wonder if you all understand what I mean?”

Seeing that some people nodded and some shook their heads, Bai Tieying continued: "Maybe some people don't understand why we do this, so let me give you an example. If you go to buy cloth, the same linen has different qualities and prices, you can understand this, right? Some linen is more expensive, but it is stronger and more durable, so should you consider this when choosing?

The same is true for mountain products. Although the top-quality ones are more expensive, they are clean and tidy, and the size is uniform. Doesn't the food made from them look appetizing? Especially when you hear about the grade and price, you should know that these mountain products are not sold to ordinary people.

It is true that our Xianhe Village guards Beishan, but Beishan is so big, how many villages are there to buy mountain products there? If we want to sell at a high price, we have to take a different approach from others, so I went in this direction when I went to negotiate. "
