Facing everyone's doubts, Su Miaomiao was about to speak when she heard Xiao Yunfei speak before her.
"Everyone be quiet!"
Xiao Yunfei strode up to the crowd, turned around and stood in front of Su Miaomiao, looking at everyone with a cold gaze.
"My wife is the head of our family. What she says represents me. If you don't trust her, you don't have to sell the mountain products to us. But now you must listen to her. Otherwise, it would be impolite. What do you think?"
As soon as Xiao Yunfei opened his mouth, the whole place fell silent.
Seeing this, Cui Fangzheng hurried forward to mediate.
"Brother Yunfei is right. Everyone, please don't speak for now. Wait until my sister-in-law finishes speaking. If you have any questions, ask them later. Listen to my sister-in-law first."
After the situation at the scene was under control, Su Miaomiao spoke calmly.
"Let me first answer the question from that big brother. The first question is, if we agree to give you the highest price, will we regret it later? Of course not. Honesty is the foundation of business. Since I promised you the highest price today, I will definitely not regret it. Even if we regret it later, you can just take the mountain products away and not sell them to us. You won't lose anything, right?"
Su Miaomiao spread her hands and continued.
"Okay, second question, do we have enough money to buy mountain products? The answer is yes. I can't prove it to you right now, but I can promise you that I'll pay you once a day. Every time you deliver the mountain products, I'll just take the money from the sales. Is that okay with you?"
"Then the third question is, can our family collect all the mountain products picked by everyone in our village? My answer is yes. As long as what you pick is what I want, I will definitely collect it."
When the villagers saw that Su Miaomiao was not afraid at all when speaking in front of everyone, they couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
Seeing Su Miaomiao's performance, coupled with what Xiao Yunfei said just now, and the fact that they said it in front of Cui Fangzheng, everyone felt that what Su Miaomiao said should be believable.
After Su Miaomiao answered the three questions, the middle-aged man who asked the question just now raised his hand and asked again.
"I understand what you just said. The question is, what kind of mountain products do you want? We need to at least know what you want so that we can go to the mountains to pick them and sell them to you."
Hearing the man's words, Su Miaomiao curled her lips and said.
"Brother, you've hit the nail on the head."
She said to the crowd.
"Now I'll tell you what mountain products I want."
Xiao Yunfei handed over the small basket they brought from home. Su Miaomiao took it, lifted the cloth covering it, and took out a piece of birch mushroom from it.
She picked up the Chaga mushroom and showed it to everyone, speaking.
"This is one of the mountain products I want to collect."
Soon a villager interrupted her.
"What is this thing? It's pitch black."
"Yeah, what is this? I've never seen it before. Is there such a thing on our mountain?"
Facing everyone's questions, Su Miaomiao raised the corners of her mouth and spoke gently.
"This is Chaga, which grows on the trunks of birch trees. So if you want to step on Chaga, you have to look for it in a birch forest. The piece I have in my hand was found in the birch forest on the mountain behind us."
When everyone heard that there was one on the back mountain, they immediately became interested.
A woman in the front row raised her hand and asked.
"Wife Yunfei, can you show me this birch mushroom? I want to see what it looks like. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to recognize it when we get to the mountain."
"No problem, you can watch it."
Su Miaomiao directly handed the birch mushroom in her hand to the woman, and she said generously.
"Anyone interested in Chaga can pass it around and take a look. If you come across any in the mountains, pick some and sell them to me. This piece you see here weighs two taels. If you pick one like this and sell it to me, I can give you 100 copper coins."
There is no one buying chaga on the market, so this is the price set by Su Miaomiao herself.
Chaga mushrooms cost fifty copper coins per ounce, so one pound is five hundred copper coins.
In that era, a pound of chicken mushrooms only cost three copper coins, and a three-pound old hen only cost sixty copper coins. Su Miaomiao's profit of five hundred copper coins per pound of chaga was already very high.
That’s why everyone was shocked to hear that such a small piece of chaga could fetch a hundred copper coins.
In an instant, everyone was very enthusiastic and rushed to see what the chaga looked like.
Hu Dazhuang asked.
"Sister-in-law, why is this thing so valuable? It doesn't look like a good thing."
Su Miaomiao said.
"This thing is really useless in your hands, but it's valuable to me, and I have a market for it, so feel free to pick it and sell it to me. I'll take as many as you can."
This price is really exciting. Many people's eyes turned red after hearing it, and they couldn't wait to go up the mountain to find this valuable treasure and sell it to Su Miaomiao.
After this, everyone's attitude towards Su Miaomiao changed dramatically. They looked at Su Miaomiao as if she were the God of Wealth. They listened very carefully to every word Su Miaomiao said, for fear that they would accidentally miss the opportunity to make a lot of money.
Su Miaomiao continued to introduce the mountain products she was going to collect to everyone, then looked at everyone and asked.
"Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
The villagers looked at each other and shook their heads and said no.
So Su Miaomiao returned the position to Cui Fangzheng.
After this incident, Cui Fangzheng couldn't help but look at Su Miaomiao with a higher regard.
A woman can calm down the whole village and make everyone listen to her obediently. This is enough to show that Su Miaomiao is an extraordinary person.
Cui Fangzheng gave the villagers some more advice, asking them to be careful when going up the mountain to collect products, to go in groups as much as possible, not to risk their lives for money, and to run away quickly if they encounter danger.
The meeting was over, and Cui Fangzheng asked Xiao Yunfei and his family to stay, while the others could disperse and go home.
Cui Fangzheng said to Xiao Yunfei, Su Miaomiao and others with gratitude.
"Brother Yunfei, sister-in-law, and brother Zhang Xing, I thank you on behalf of everyone in our village. If it weren't for your family's arrival, our village wouldn't be in the situation it is now. I won't say any more flattering words. From now on, if your family needs any help from me, just let me know. If you encounter any problems collecting mountain products, you can always come to me. Anyone who dares to interfere with your family's collection of mountain products will definitely not be forgiven."
With Cui Fangzheng helping them to suppress the villagers, even if some villagers tried to cause trouble, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything.
After saying goodbye to Cui Fangzheng, Xiao Yunfei and the others hurried home.
When Zhang Xing got home, he immediately went to get something to treat Xiao Yong's injuries.
Su Miaomiao looked at Xiao Yong's swollen arm, tears welling up in her eyes.
That Yang Xiaohua is really going too far.
From now on, the feud between their two families has been formed. If Yang Xiaohua dares to provoke them again, she will definitely not be polite.
