The next day.
As dawn breaks, the mountains appear as if they are a painting.
As Mu Achen strolled along the natural lakeside, his mind was not only on the orchard, but also on the Sisters' Festival that the three chieftains had mentioned the previous night, which was to be held a week later.
It seems that my uncle and his family have other plans.
Sure enough, as soon as Mu Achen entered the greenhouse covered with vines on the side of the natural lake, he saw that the Seventh Elder and the Ninth Elder had also arrived.
As soon as Mu Achen sat down between the two clan elders, the three chief chiefs, Ah Shi and Ah Xiong of the Eight Great Wolves, and the core Miao people of the three branches actually looked at him and smiled.
Of course, Jiang Ya and Yang Ayao from Shengtang were also there, as were the two chief chiefs from Xingchen Fruit Forest and Uncle Agan and Uncle Adong.
But Mu Achen was puzzled by everyone's smiles.
"Is there something on my face?"
Mu Achen rubbed his face with both hands, and when he puffed out his cheeks with his hands, everyone laughed even more dazzlingly.
But the atmosphere was clearly off.
As expected, when the various branches discussed the Sisters' Festival, the elders of the Seven Clans and Nine Clans said that they would make arrangements for it.
The Sisters' Festival will still be held at Miaoling Lake, where the Short Skirt Miao and White Miao communities meet!
Not far from Jiuyou Ancient Village, and they wouldn't allow Mu Achen, that spendthrift, to squander money again.
Upon hearing this, Mu Achen immediately looked depressed.
“Elder Jiu, what do you mean I’m squandering money! Besides, I’m already married. I can accept being called a ‘spendthrift,’ but I won’t accept the name ‘virgin.’”
Upon hearing this, the Ninth Elder immediately glared at Mu Achen.
cough cough--
The Seventh Elder coughed twice and said, "Achen, you can make a proper gesture during the Sisters' Day, but you can't just throw out millions and cause some kind of aerial explosion every now and then."
"Seventh Elder, what do you mean? I'm not looking for a wife, so why are you making such a huge explosion in the air?"
"That's good!"
"but--"
Mu Achen asked with a smile, "Elders, what if I said I already have other preparations?"
"you.."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, I was just saying it casually! My preparation was mental preparation."
Cough cough cough--
Now, not only the two clan elders, but even the chief village chief and the village elders were speechless at Mu Achen's words.
But Mu Achen added, "My wife isn't home, so I can't muster any interest in doing anything."
"Mu Achen--"
Upon hearing this, Tang Aye of Quedong Village's face instantly darkened, and the Seventh and Ninth Elders were also so angry that they coughed.
As for the clan elder of Black Crow Village, he glared at Mu Achen, his anger clearly considerable.
The other chiefs and elders, as well as the core Miao people, stared wide-eyed at Mu Achen, thinking, "Achen, watch your words! That's your wife, that's true, but she's also the holy maiden of our Miao people!"
"frivolous!"
A moment later, the clan elder of Heiwu Village blurted out these two words, his teeth grinding with anger.
The Seven Elders said, "The Sisters' Festival is from the 14th to the 16th of the third lunar month, which is three days, and in the Gregorian calendar it's from May 1st to 3rd! Ah Chen, do you have any special instructions for this?"
"No! I'll do whatever the elders tell me to do."
“How can that be? You are the future Miao King. If you have any other ideas, no matter which branch of the Miao region you belong to, anyone who dares to disobey you would be considered a traitor to their ancestors.”
Forehead--
Disrespecting one's ancestors?
This is serious!
Mu Achen immediately put away his playful side and said, "Elders, there's no need to be so serious! Let's do the Sisters' Festival as it has always been. The elders can make the arrangements; I have no particular objections."
"As for food expenses and so on, Shengtang will cover them! The Miao people of each branch in the deep mountains, no matter how much, can contribute as much as they can."
"Furthermore, with the success of the Starry Sky Fruit Forest today, I discussed with the Holy Maiden that we can use the Miao Sisters' Festival to spread the fame of this fruit forest outside."
"In other words, some wealthy businessmen will enter the deep mountains before May Day."
"Sheng Tang, please make the necessary arrangements for the reception!"
"In addition, the Miao people of each branch in the deep mountains should mark out the areas where they can move around in advance! Also, the road coming in from Quedong Village must be kept safe along the way, and those things must not be allowed to escape."
Upon hearing this, the chief leaders of the various branches looked at each other in bewilderment. The chief leader of the Miao tribe in a long skirt spoke up: "Achen, if those Han people enter the deep mountains of our Miao territory and run amok, it will be very dangerous."
“Yes, Ah Chen, the deep mountains are not like the outside world. No one can guarantee that those Han people will obey.”
In fact, what the chieftains were worried about was that the Miao people in the deep mountains were very xenophobic, and they were xenophobic as well. However, since the future Miao king had already made a decision, although they had to carry it out, they also had to voice their concerns.
Mu Achen also knew these things.
“In the deep mountains of my Miao region, we naturally do not allow non-Miao people to roam freely. That’s why we have designated a small area in the mountains where people can move around, which is near the Starry Sky Fruit Forest.”
"After all, the Starry Sky Fruit Forest currently lacks fame!"
Fame?
The chiefs and elders of each branch exchanged glances. The chief of the White Miao tribe asked, "Achen, do you mean that the fruit in our Starry Sky Fruit Forest is not cheap?"
"It won't be low! As for how we'll price it, I haven't decided yet, but I can tell you that the grapes won't be sold by weight or by bunch."
How much will it cost?
"A piece!"
A single grain?
Nobody understands!
Finally, it seemed that Sheng Tang's Jiang Ya understood something, and asked with a surprised expression, "Achen, do you mean that the grapes from the 600-acre vineyard of the short-skirted seedlings in the Starry Sky Fruit Forest are sold by the number of grapes?"
"That's right!"
"How much would a single grape typically cost?"
"Although it's not finalized yet, it won't be less than one yuan per piece."
"What?"
Peng---
While all the village chiefs and elders were shocked, the chief of the Short Skirt Miao village was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Even the village elders of the Short Skirt Miao were so shocked by Mu Achen's words that they were breathing heavily.
Keep in mind that they counted the grapevines quietly after they started bearing fruit. There were approximately 58,000 main grapevines, with each vine bearing more than 100 bunches of grapes, and each bunch containing at least 27 or 28 grapes.
If these cost one yuan each, that would be outrageous.
Not only were the chief village chief and the village elders frightened, but even the seventh and ninth clan elders were quite shocked.
"Ah Chen, how can you sell it like this!"
"Seventh Elder, don't worry! I know what I'm doing."
Mu Achen smiled and responded to the Seven Elders, then his gaze fell on the chiefs of the three branches of the Miao, Long Skirt Miao, and Short Skirt Miao, and he said, "This is just my preliminary estimate, but we'll have to wait and see what the final price will be!"
"So we need to pass on the instructions: at Starry Sky Fruit Grove, do not make things difficult for the two old men who came last night. Their pricing of our fruit and the true value of the fruit are very important to us."
"Okay, Ah Chen! Whatever you say, we'll do it! But..."
