The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine
Chapter 116: Building a Fire Pit
He decided on the spot to go up the mountain the next day to cut bamboo suitable for making handicrafts. He not only planned to make a comfortable bamboo chair and a chaise longue for his beloved wife, but also wanted to try making various other things.
Although she didn't particularly understand the specific operation steps, Song Yuyu still supported her third sister-in-law wholeheartedly, even to the point of exaggerating: if Jiang Jinhe claimed that he could turn bamboo into food through some method, she would probably choose to believe it without any doubt.
"This is a really great idea, Sister-in-law."
She couldn't help but sigh, "If we just let our father make some household items like bamboo stools, bamboo tables, or bamboo chairs himself, we can save a lot of unnecessary expenses."
After hearing her daughters' excited words, Auntie Song couldn't help but be moved and nodded in agreement. "Old man, I think the third daughter-in-law's suggestion is really a good one! However... considering that this kind of product actually requires a lot of effort. And there aren't many good materials available in our mountains, I guess we'll only have enough for our own use. If the neighbors hear about it and follow suit, the natural resources with long growth cycles there will soon be over-exploited and completely disappeared. Therefore, I think it's fair and reasonable to treat them the same when charging processing fees."
Jiang Jinhe understood what her mother-in-law meant as soon as she heard it.
I couldn't help but admire her secretly in my heart: "My mother-in-law is really smart!"
If the cost of the two is the same, then most ordinary families will definitely tend to choose the former as their first choice, as they do not need to purchase raw materials but can still enjoy a good user experience.
But on the other hand, if the charging standards of the former are raised to be closer to those of the latter, perhaps more people will be prompted to consider the latter option, which seems to be slightly more expensive but is actually more durable.
After all, in rural areas, people generally believe that the latter option is obviously more stable and firm than the former option which is prone to rot and damage.
Under such an arrangement, no matter which side the other party will ultimately lean towards in purchasing activities,
The ultimate beneficiary is still the company that masters the core skills and channel advantages.
In addition, there is another additional benefit: it can effectively prevent large-scale illegal logging activities caused by greed for short-term profits.
You should know that the process of a wild plant growing healthy and lush to its current state is extremely long and difficult.
If this trend develops too rapidly and arouses the vigilance of local managers,
If this leads to the introduction of relevant measures to regulate and restrict, the impact on our subsequent planning and layout will be catastrophic!
Over the next two days, almost all members of the Song family were mobilized and divided into two groups to work simultaneously to help the villagers design and build warm and comfortable new heating equipment, the so-called "kang" facilities.
The first group is led by experienced elders who guide the younger ones in the initial stage of learning; the second group is two brothers who work together to undertake the main construction tasks.
As the news spread, the most authoritative person in the area, the highest administrator in the village, came to visit in person and generously donated fifty taels of silver for the smooth implementation of this public welfare project.
"Old Song, you have really done a great thing for everyone. I have to go to the city right away to do some work." Song Yuanmu, who usually doesn't talk much, seemed extremely excited at this time and directly admitted that this plan actually came from his daughter-in-law's idea.
After learning the truth, the village cadres were suddenly filled with waves of thoughts.
This third daughter-in-law, who showed extraordinary talents shortly after her marriage, is indeed a rare talent!
Fortunately, he had already made additional compensation and awarded two acres of precious land. Otherwise, facing such outstanding performance, something unexpected might have happened!
Looking at the fifty taels of silver in his hand and the gloomy expression on Zhang Congyi's face, Jiang Jinhe thought for a moment and decisively returned twenty taels.
"Village Chief, we've taken over the construction of your kang. However, given your special status, we'll only charge you for the materials and labor costs, and won't charge you any extra. Also, let my father make you a bamboo chair as a token of our gratitude for your trust!"
Jiang Jinhe spoke in a very sincere tone.
After hearing this, Zhang Congyi's originally somewhat dissatisfied expression immediately relaxed, and even the corners of his mouth rose a little.
He was so happy.
This daughter-in-law of the Song family is so smart and knows how to deal with people!
Originally, he was worried that the Song family would misunderstand that he was asking for their help out of kindness but had other ulterior motives!
"Oh, you're too polite. No, no, your eldest brother is honest and hardworking, and he's reliable in his work. As the village chief, it's my responsibility to take care of your family."
Zhang Congyi waved his hands repeatedly, as if to refuse, but his eyes revealed unconcealable joy and approval.
After a few pleasantries, the village leader, in a good mood, left the Song family contentedly with the remaining thirty taels of silver, his steps becoming much lighter.
This time, a professional construction team from outside was hired to rebuild the village.
This team is experienced and highly efficient. In just ten days, they built a well-planned double-entry and double-exit compound.
On the other hand, the Song family, although the father and son took only two days to successfully build ten sturdy, durable and warm kangs.
Faced with such a tight and high-intensity workload, Song Wenxiao was quite confused and puzzled that his sister-in-law Jiang Jinhe actually took the initiative to return part of the money.
"Sister-in-law, the village chief has already generously given us fifty taels of silver as a reward. This amount is already not enough for our family. Why did you choose to return twenty taels to him?"
Aunt Song, who had been listening quietly nearby, couldn't help but kick her nephew hard when she heard this. "You idiot! Why don't you save some money when you know it's too little? It's precisely because we didn't receive much that we have to return some of it as a sign of sincerity and gratitude!"
There was a hint of reproach in her voice.
Seeing that Song Wenxiao still had a puzzled look on his face, the impatient old lady had no choice but to continue explaining, "Tell me, can we negotiate the price directly with the village chief for our services? Of course not! But if we don't ask for any compensation at all, it will make the other party feel as if they are being looked down upon or owed a favor."
After hearing this, Song Wenxiao nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then let out a long breath to express his feeling of sudden enlightenment.
