Shufeng quickly brought over the account book. The farm had 39,000 kilograms of cotton. This was a huge amount, and transportation was a problem.
Soon, General Hu came over after finishing his meal, looking very happy.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Yan. Let's get down to business. How much cotton do you have? Your niece is quite clever. When you were away, she kept chatting with me about other things instead of business. She must have been afraid that I would take your cotton without paying. Haha, don't worry, we'll pay and get the goods."
"Hu Lingjun, I have quite a bit of cotton. How much do you want?"
The other party laughed again when he heard it, "Of course the more the better. How much can you have? I want 300,000 kilograms."
Chunxiao hadn't expected the military camp to be so generous. "General Hu, I'm shortsighted. We don't have 300,000. We only have less than 120,000 kilograms in total."
The other party's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Really? You really have so much! If you have so much, it would save us a lot of trouble. So what price are you going to sell it to us for?"
Chun Xiao glanced at Yan Dashan next to him and smiled at the burly man. "Since you are Dongsheng's friend, I will naturally give you the best price. Hu Lingjun, how about 75 Wen?"
The other party slammed the table and said, "Okay, Mr. Yan is really generous. Just 75 cents." It can be seen that he is very satisfied with this price.
Chunxiao looked at the weather outside and said, "It's easy to make this deal, but it's raining now. How will we transport so much cotton? It's probably going to be difficult."
"Don't worry, Mr. Yan. The weather will be good tomorrow. I'll give you two days to prepare the cotton. The day after tomorrow I'll bring people to pay and collect the cotton." After saying that, he walked away in the rain with his people.
Chunxiao was so happy at this moment. The thing that had worried her for a long time was solved so quickly. She hugged Shufeng and spun around, and Shufeng also laughed.
"Aunt, you are so happy." She also grinned.
"I'm happy, of course I'm happy. Now everything is solved, brother, don't you think?"
Yan Dashan also laughed, "I was so scared when I first came here, but I didn't expect it to be a good thing." He suddenly frowned, "Chunxiao, Dongsheng must not know about his mother's situation yet. Should we tell him?"
Chunxiao was stunned for a moment before he remembered about Wen's matter. "Let's go back and ask Uncle Shizhu for his opinion. However, if he knew about Dongsheng's current situation, he would be so happy that he couldn't sleep. Big brother, no, we have to go back quickly. We only have two days to prepare. Tomorrow we have to receive and deliver goods. We will be very busy." Time was urgent, so he said goodbye to Shufeng in a hurry and instructed Wang Shiwen to find a few people from the farm to harness all the remaining cattle to the ox cart and go to the village to help pick up the goods early in the morning if it didn't rain. He also asked them to remember to bring a few hundred sacks with them.
She got on the ox cart and hurried back with Dashan. The rain was not heavy, and it was hard to say whether it would be sunny or rainy tomorrow.
The two hurried back to the village, and as soon as they entered the house, they were surrounded by a group of people. "What's going on? Something happened in the village. When we went over, they said you had already left. They said that soldiers had come to the village. What's going on? I'm so worried."
"You guys came back like this, what on earth is going on?"
Chunxiao and Yan Dashan looked at each other and smiled, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, it's a good thing."
"Good news?" Everyone was surprised, but their anxious mood was instantly relieved by this sentence. "How can there be good news when the soldiers come?"
"The soldiers went to the village to collect cotton. We are going to sell our cotton. What do you think is a good thing?"
"real?"
"How much do they charge? They can't be from the county magistrate's side, right?" Yan Dahe asked worriedly.
"No, they are from the military camp. We agreed on 75 wen per jin. They were introduced by Dongsheng."
Everyone looked at Yan Dashan with a puzzled look on their faces, "Dongsheng?"
Yan Dashan nodded. "He's an officer in the military camp now, and he's sending them to buy cotton from us. They want so much, even if we collect all our cotton, it still wouldn't be enough. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, all the cotton in Zhoujia Village will be shipped to Chunxiao Village, and the village's cotton will have to be harvested as well."
"Oh my goodness, Dongsheng is going to be very successful. It must be because her mother in heaven is blessing her. This is great. We have a future for cotton."
"Isn't the cotton in this county not allowed to be taken out? How can we get all this cotton out? Don't let them return it to us when they can't get it out, and then we'll be disappointed." Tian always felt uneasy.
"No, sister-in-law. If the county magistrate dares to stop the military supplies, then his position as a county magistrate will be over. He wouldn't dare to do that even if he had ten times the courage."
“So amazing.”
"You know, those people in the military camp can act first and ask for permission later. Outside, everyone will give them some leeway."
"That's good." Tian was finally relieved.
Everyone was feeling excited at the moment. They didn't expect that the problem they had been worrying about for so long would be solved like this. It seemed like God was helping them.
Chunxiao made arrangements with her family and followed Yan Dashan to Xu Shizhu's house to tell him about Dongsheng's recent situation. Xu Shizhu was very excited after hearing it. He didn't expect his son to be so promising. Unfortunately, Wen couldn't hear it. When asked whether to tell Dongsheng about Wen's situation, he shook his head and said that he would just take a verbal message and say that everything was fine at home.
Chunxiao knew his intention, which was simply to hope that Dongsheng would work hard in the military camp without any distractions. She felt that if it were her, she would probably choose not to say anything.
The next day, the sky cleared up as expected, and Wang Shiwen came with his men driving a ox cart early in the morning.
The villagers watched the excitement but had no idea what they were doing there. After unloading the sacks, Chunxiao asked them to follow Dashan and his ox cart to Zhoujia Village. All the oxen in the family were harnessed to the cart and driven there.
