Lu Dahai didn't expect the village chief to be concerned about this, and laughed, "I thought it was something serious. This is no problem. Burning charcoal and selling it is to help the whole village have a good winter. It's a good thing to sell the charcoal as soon as possible."
The village chief smiled with satisfaction when he saw that Lu Dahai had agreed and the matter was settled.
"I wonder if Miss Lu has any good ideas about selling charcoal?" the village chief asked.
Lu Qiqi was taken aback when the village chief asked her how to sell charcoal.
Lu Dahai was also surprised that the village chief would suddenly ask a question. He looked at Lu Qiqi with a puzzled expression, wanting to hear what Lu Qiqi's opinion was.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Qiqi shared her thoughts, "Selling charcoal in Luzhou County is better than selling it in the town. There are more people in Luzhou County, and their purchasing power is stronger than in Qingshui Town."
“Our charcoal is in high demand right now, so we don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it. We’re not afraid of having to bring it back later.”
“The West Market is full of peddlers and vendors, and many ordinary people go there to buy things. We can take the charcoal to the West Market to buy it.”
“Ordinary people can’t afford silver frost charcoal, but we can take it to the East Market to sell. We can rent a small stall and talk nicely to the tax collectors to get them to let us sell it in the East Market for a few days.”
After hearing Lu Qiqi's words, a glint flashed in the village chief's eyes. He only thought about selling the charcoal in the town and did not think about selling it inside the city gate of Luzhou Prefecture.
He immediately burst into laughter, "You're such a smart girl!"
She then turned to Lu Dahai and said, "You're a lucky man. Your daughter is so capable; even your son can't match her intelligence."
It's a pity that she's a girl; otherwise, it wouldn't be impossible for their village to produce a top scholar!
Lu Dahai was naturally pleased to hear someone praising his child.
But he still had to be modest, and Lu Dahai said with a smile, "Village Chief, you flatter me. Seventh Girl is just a little smarter and more capable than the average boy."
"She knows a bit of medicine to save lives, and she also knows a bit of martial arts to fight bandits and kill Tartars. With your praise, she'll be so arrogant she'll be strutting around like crazy."
It was clearly Lu Dahai who wanted to praise himself, but Lu Qiqi saw through his little scheme without exposing him, and sat aside with a smile, listening.
The village chief nodded repeatedly with a forced smile. He had only intended to offer a simple compliment, but he hadn't expected Lu Dahai to take the opportunity to press the matter.
