Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming

"Hello, village chiefs~" After hearing this, several people greeted them politely. Qingsong and Qingke went about their business when they saw that there was nothing for them to do, while Qingyu stayed behind on his own accord.

"Hey, good children, we are a little presumptuous to come here today, and we haven't prepared any gifts. It's hard for you to think of us neighbors when you have such a good thing." One of the younger ones spoke, and his words were very comforting.

"I am the village chief of Libao Village. My name is Li Yunhan." He then introduced himself to Qingning.

"I'm the village chief of Shitanwan, my name is Shi Jingsheng."

"I am the village chief of Qianzhuang Village, Qian Youcai."

"I am the head of Taoyuan Village, Sun Liangtian."

Several people were introduced one by one, and Qing Ning and Qing Yu also greeted them one by one.

"Village heads, please go into the main hall and sit for a while. The clan leader and the village head will both stay with the guests. I'll go to the kitchen to boil some water." The village head led the people into the main hall. Qing Ning turned around and was about to go to the kitchen to boil water, but was stopped before she took a few steps.

"Qingning, go and get busy. Auntie will boil some water for you. Go quickly." After saying this, she went into the kitchen without waiting for Qingning to respond.

Qing Ning looked at Qing Yu with some confusion in her eyes.

"It's okay, sister. She is the mother of Chen Erwa at the village head. She is a warm-hearted person." Qingyu looked at her younger sister's expression and knew what she wanted to ask. Qingning ignored her and the brother and sister went into the main room.

"Come here, Qingning." The patriarch invited the two to sit under him, and the two responded obediently.

"Qing Ning, we came here this time to ask what the rules are for the stalls at the Spring Appreciation Banquet?" Li Yunhan asked again.

"Village heads, Grandpa Gaojie should have told you the details, so I won't say more. You can discuss what to sell at the stalls, but there are a few things I hope you will remember. Since the guests attending the banquet are all wealthy and prominent people, we must not let those with ulterior motives occupy the stalls. If something goes wrong, we will not be able to protect them. Secondly, if the food is to be sold, it must be clean first and taste second. If someone accidentally gets sick from eating it, it will be a disaster. Third, they should all pay attention to their appearance on the day. Smiling three times when meeting people will always make a good impression." Qing Ning was actually worried. In this era with a clear hierarchy, the poor had no say. What would happen if they offended someone?

After hearing this, several people realized how serious it was and decided to carefully screen it after returning.

"Qing Ning, your workshop has been collecting mushrooms recently, and several villages around us have also benefited a lot. I heard that a lot of ingredients are needed for the Spring Festival Banquet. I wonder if you would accept them if we also get some and send them to you?" This is Sun Liangtian, the village chief of Taoyuan Village.

"I want to count the amount of ingredients. If I buy too much, they might go bad. I wonder if Grandpa Sun, do you have any famous food in Taoyuan Village?" Qing Ning thought about it and didn't refuse outright. Then she thought of something and asked.

"Our Taoyuan Village is rich in peaches. We have a large peach orchard, but the peach blossoms have all fallen and the peaches are still not ripe. Oh, and we still have cherries."

When Qing Ning heard about cherries, he immediately smiled and said, "Are the cherries sweet? Are they big?"

"It's sweet, but not big. I planted a lot but couldn't sell it for much. Once ripe, it would be easily eaten by birds." Sun Liangtian was also helpless about this. The small fruits could not be sold, and at most some families in the town would buy them to eat.

"Grandpa Sun, pick a basket of cherries for me first. I'll buy them at the market price. If you can provide me with food and accommodation, I'll buy more from your village."

"Okay, I'll send a basket over this afternoon. I won't charge you any money, just consider it a treat for you little kids."

"Grandpa, there's no need. It's not easy for you to grow some things. If the cherries are delicious, you can sell them on the stalls. This will be considered as opening up a market." Qingning thought for a while and reminded them that if the cherries taste good, there will be many people buying them. There are only so many fruits at this time.

"That's great. We also want to sell cherries but we're afraid of those people being picky. Now that you mention it, I'm brave enough to go back and ask someone to pick fresh and good fruits to sell. But I will definitely not accept money for the cherries delivered today, otherwise old man Gaojie will slap me in the face and say I'm stingy." He said with a joking glance at Chen Gaojie who was standing next to him.

Seeing this, Qingning agreed without hesitation and told him how big a bamboo basket to use and how to decorate it with leaves to make it look more beautiful and appetizing. Sun Liangtian naturally took note of everything.

Seeing that Sun Liangtian had earned a way out for their village, the others also became active. They tried their best to promote the strengths of the village. They were either not in season or had nothing special about them, so they were inevitably disappointed when Qing Ning rejected them one by one.

"Ah, Brother Liangtian, your village is still the best. Our Shitan Bay doesn't have much except that one pond." Shi Jingsheng spoke with envy, and the other village heads also agreed. Sun Liangtian looked at their unhappy faces and didn't dare to show his joy too much.

"Grandpa Shi, where does the water in your village come from?"

Seeing Qing Ning's curiosity about Shiwantan, she explained the origin of the water. "I don't know where this water comes from, but I guess it comes from Jun Qingshan. The water is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. A few years ago, there was a drought, and even the river in front of your village dried up, but the water in this pool never dropped. It saved many people in the surrounding villages."

When the drought a few years ago was mentioned, everyone present was still frightened.

"Yes, if it weren't for this pool of water, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to see the scenery we have now."

Listening to everyone's sighs, Qing Ning became curious about the pool of water, fearing that there might be an undercurrent underneath.

"The fish and shrimp in this pond are also fat, and taste much better than ordinary fish." Shi Jingsheng suddenly thought of something special and quickly mentioned it. Upon hearing this, Qingning's eyes lit up. Sure enough, he was right.

"really?"

"Seriously, I'll send some over for you to try when I get back." He immediately took over the conversation, wanting to express his gratitude and not letting Qing Ning refuse.

Well, now there is another way out. The other two village chiefs thought about the village from beginning to end and from top to bottom, but couldn't come up with anything special. They had to accept their fate and figured that they were not destined to make money.

Qing Ning saw this and understood that they were wholeheartedly doing the villagers' good. After a moment's thought, he said, "Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Li, have the villagers gather some snails, river clams, crayfish, river shrimp, and small fish. Raise the first two for two days to clear the sand, and bring the rest a day in advance. Seventy kilograms of each. Make sure they're fresh and clean."

The two were delighted when they heard this and thanked Qing Ning. They knew she was thinking of friendship, and that they could naturally get these things in their village, so why bother giving them to them.

Seeing that it was getting late, a few people wanted to say goodbye and go back. Qingning called everyone to stop and said she had something to say. Seeing that Qingning was serious, they did not dare to neglect her.

"Grandpas, I'll be honest with you. I proposed this Spring Festival Banquet with Manager Xu. We chose a location near us for selfish reasons. I'm sure you all understand even without me saying it. Therefore, I don't want anyone with a blind eye or ulterior motives to ruin the reputation of our villages. Sharing wealth is worse than one person's wealth. I will do my best to lead everyone forward. If there are any who hold us back, I beg you, the village chiefs, to punish them with all your might."

They understood what was going on and were filled with gratitude. They bowed solemnly to Qing Ning, a gesture of thanks on behalf of every villager. They would definitely warn their tribesmen back home, urging them not to harbor evil thoughts. If anyone refused to listen, they wouldn't blame them for being unreasonable.
