After Tangli returned home, he told Wei Xiaotao about this.
The next day, Wei Xiaotao went to see it. She was very satisfied and wanted to move in immediately.
Tangli helped Wei Xiaotao move.
Wei Xiaotao didn't have much stuff, just a few bags.
With Tangli's help, they finished moving everything in one trip.
After the move, Wei Xiaotao asked her to get busy.
After Tang Li left, Wei Xiaotao looked at the room and started planning in her mind: a chair in this area, a rice jar in this area...
Although she rented this house, she felt inexplicably at ease and felt like she had a home.
Zhaodi ran around everywhere and liked her new home very much.
Even the quiet Nian Di ran after Zhao Di, extremely happy.
"Mom, this is our home!"
Wei Xiaotao looked at her two daughters, her eyes warming.
"Yeah, we have a home."
A new home, a new beginning. No more working all the time like before, not having enough to eat or wear, and having to endure the complaints of my mother-in-law and the nitpicking of my husband. If I don’t do something well, I will be beaten.
Now, I earn money and can provide my two daughters with enough food and clothing.
Wei Xiaotao held one of her daughters in each hand, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
…
Li Youcai's working style is very decisive.
A few days later, Li Youcai came to the town to find Tangli.
"Mrs. Wei, I'm sorry to bother you again." Li Youcai scratched his hair, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Brother Li, if you need help, just tell me. I will help if I can." Tang Li agreed readily.
"Mrs. Wei, take a look." Li Youcai handed Tang Li a piece of paper.
Tang Li took it. The paper was densely written with a lot of things recorded.
"Sister Wei, after that day, villagers came to me one after another and told me how much land they wanted to use to grow medicinal herbs. I wrote it all down."
Tang Li looked at the list and found Du Xiaohe and the Chen family on it. The Chen family also gave out a lot of land.
"Then Doctor Su and I went to every plot of land to check the soil quality. We selected a few suitable medicinal herbs..." Li Youcai tapped on the paper, "These are the ones."
Tangli's eyes fell on the medicinal herbs, three in total.
His finger slid down. "This is the number of seedlings we need. Sister Wei, do you have a way to buy them?"
Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "I'll take you to see someone."
Tang Li took Li Youcai to Baiyaotang to find the shopkeeper Zhang.
After listening to their purpose, Shopkeeper Zhang took the piece of paper and began to think about it.
Shopkeeper Zhang felt a little complicated.
Is Shopkeeper Tang planning to grow his own herbs? Will he still buy them from him in the future?
Manager Tang is his biggest customer. If he loses this customer, his business will be greatly affected.
If he was doing this out of selfish motives, he should have refused to help.
but……
Shopkeeper Zhang hesitated for a moment, then said, "I don't have the seedlings of these herbs, but I should be able to find some..."
Shopkeeper Zhang looked at Tang Li and said affirmatively, "I can find it. I can help you with this!"
Li Youcai thanked him profusely again: "Then I'll trouble you, Shopkeeper Zhang! Shopkeeper Zhang, how much silver do these seedlings cost?"
Manager Zhang gave a rough quote, and Li Youcai took the quote and left happily.
Tangli didn't leave, but sat down.
Shopkeeper Zhang was struggling to ask Tangli about the future supply of medicine, but before he could open his mouth, Tangli spoke first.
"Manager Zhang, we've been working together for almost a year, right?"
"Yes, it will be a year soon."
"Manager Zhang, I think you are an honest and trustworthy person." Tang Li continued.
It's over, it's over. You say nice things first, and then you say you won't cooperate in the future. This is the familiar routine in the business world of giving sweet words and then slapping someone in the face.
Shopkeeper Zhang felt a little heavy-hearted.
"So, I'm thinking, when the medicinal herbs in Lijia Village are grown in the future, can you harvest them? The price you pay for the herbs will be based on your preference. As my medicine sachet factory grows bigger and bigger, the amount of medicinal herbs we need will also increase." Tang Li said.
Shopkeeper Zhang's beard twitched, and he was stunned.
Is Shopkeeper Tang planning to continue cooperating with him? And what he's saying is, is it a bigger collaboration?
"Shopkeeper Zhang, what do you think?"
Shopkeeper Zhang quickly came back to his senses: "Okay, no problem! Shopkeeper Tang, tell the village chief you just spoke to that if you have any questions, just come to me directly. If there's anything you don't understand, I can send someone to teach you."
"Then I'll trouble Shopkeeper Zhang."
Tang Li and Manager Zhang made the deal and left Baiyaotang.
Tang Li's business philosophy was to "make things convenient for both herself and others." If she did it herself, she could save on the middle price, but it would be much more tiring. Leaving it to Zhang to earn the middle price was both trustworthy and a significant expense for her.
Moreover, even though Manager Zhang thought it might affect his business, he decided to help her, and Tang Li naturally had to repay the favor.
Win-win, no loss.
Everything was going smoothly on Tangli's side, but there was a problem in the village.
When the villagers heard that they had to pay for the seedlings first, they began to back off.
Li Youcai's house was in great chaos.
"Village chief, we can't even get enough to eat now, how can we afford to buy rice seedlings?"
"Yes, and in this cold winter, the trees on the mountain will be frozen to death. Won't the seedlings die if we plant them?"
"Tangli wants to earn our money, but he's not willing to spend even a small amount of money on the rice seedlings?" Du Xiaohe said sarcastically, "He wants to earn our lives first!"
Li Youcai could understand the other words, but it was really difficult now. But Du Xiaohe's words sounded inhumane.
"Du Xiaohe, stop planting. Even if you give me money, I won't buy you seedlings. And don't stay here anymore. You're an eyesore." Li Youcai started to scold him.
"Let's go!" Du Xiaohe pulled Li Tiemu out.
She had originally wanted to try it out, just in case she could make some money, but she ended up having to pay for it, which was something she wouldn't do!
"Don't be silly. You're starving yourself, but all the money goes to other people for food and drink." Du Xiaohe left and encouraged others.
Many people left after listening to Du Xiaohe's instigation.
Li Youcai did not try to keep him.
Everyone is so poor, it is indeed difficult to ask everyone to contribute money, but his family does not have that much money to cover the cost.
"Village chief, I want to plant some crops. I'll go back and collect some money!" The speaker was Li Laoqi, a young man from the village.
He was clear-headed and felt that this was a rare opportunity since the village chief, Doctor Su and Mrs. Wei had put in so much effort.
If it really grows, we may not have to go hungry next year.
"Village chief, my family really doesn't have that much money anymore. I want to plant less."
"My family will plant less too. I'll go back and get the money."
"Village Chief, we know you're doing this for our own good. Just listen to what I just said and don't take it to heart."
Li Youcai listened to this and nodded vigorously. Just for this sentence, he felt that everything he did was worth it!
In the end, there were still fifteen households that needed to plant crops, and Li Youcai even used most of his family's land to plant them.
"Master, if we can't grow these medicinal herbs, our whole family will starve to death next year." Li Youcai's wife was a little worried and always felt uneasy.
"Don't worry, it will definitely grow out." Li Youcai patted his wife's hand.
He actually had no idea in his heart, but only if he acted more confidently could he reassure others.
