Li Qiu praised people in a series of ways, "I can tell from the looks of it that you are capable people, and you clean up very well..."
The lady who was loading the goods was so amused by her that she couldn't close her mouth. "You are such a sweet girl, it's a pity that you are such a noble man that we can't reach you, otherwise I would really like to keep you in our village."
Li Qiu smiled cheerfully. Having been in Lucheng for so long, she knew that the people here were more open-minded and didn't have so many rules and regulations when speaking. "Thank you for your kindness, madam. However, as slaves, we naturally have to follow our master.
I think the quality of seafood in our village is so high that the young men in the village will not be afraid of not being able to find a wife."
The old lady smiled and nodded, with a proud look on her face, "Young girl, you have good taste. The young men in our village really don't have trouble finding a wife, but it's rare to see young girls like you.
I have something to tell you in secret. When you and I entered the village just now, the eyes of those silly boys in the village all lit up. "
Before the beginning of autumn, I was only focused on looking at seafood and didn’t really notice it. Now that the old lady was teasing me like this, I couldn’t help but feel a little shy. “Auntie, I’m afraid you must have seen it wrong. They are just curious about strangers entering the village.
It’s just that the seafood in our village is so good, I guess it took a lot of effort to catch it! "
"That's right. It was the villagers who risked their lives to get such a harvest. Each one of them was hard-earned." The old lady's tone became a little low as she said this. "Hey, in fact, it's all the same, they all paid with their lives."
Li Qiu, "Since it's so dangerous, why not find another way out?"
“I can tell from the first glance that the girl is an outsider. Our ancestors have been here for generations, so where can we go?
The people in the village have been born and raised in the sea. Apart from this skill, they know nothing else. Not to mention making a living, they may not be able to grow crops well even if they are given a piece of land.
You see, these are all packed, do you want some more?"
While chatting, the old lady also did not forget to promote other seafood.
"I want them all. See what else you have. As long as they are of this quality, they will be fine." There are so many families wanting to give gifts to the mansion now, and he doesn't know if he can share what he has collected this time.
"Do you need so much?" Several ladies who were packing up were stunned. They had received distinguished guests before, but the quantity they requested was never so large.
"Just bring out anything good you have," they had asked before the beginning of autumn. The prices were much cheaper than what they could get in the shops. With such an opportunity and such good stuff, they naturally wanted to stock up more.
Even if I can't give away all the gifts by then, my wife still has a restaurant under her name, so there's no need to worry at all.
With such wealth, the ladies were both happy and worried, “But with so many things, it would be too obvious to ship them out.
Even if the delivery date has not yet arrived, we are afraid that the dealers will cause trouble for us."
"Didn't you agree on the quantity with them?"
“Having said that, there are conditions attached. If there is a large quantity, we should try to supply them first.
We thought that was all you wanted, this is too much, I guess I need to ask the village chief for advice."
This is the first time that Li Qiu has encountered such a situation, and he has to push the business away.
When the village chief heard the news, he immediately said to Jin Qianqian with some embarrassment, "My dear, we can only give you a portion, and the rest will be forfeited."
Jin Qianqian, "Can you force a sale in this business?"
Village Chief Xiao said, “In order to find a sales channel as soon as possible, our village signed a contract with the other party.
Although there is a fixed quantity, the extra items must be given to them first.
We will make the decision for this small number of people. Maybe they want too many things, so we..."
"Village Chief Xiao really keeps his promise."
Village Chief Xiao smiled bitterly, "We'd be happy to make more money, but your truck has to pass through other villages to transport it outside. Some of those traffickers live nearby. If they see us, I'm afraid we'll be entangled with them."
"What else can we do after seeing them?" Lichun asked with a raised eyebrow.
Village Chief Xiao said, "These people have always been arrogant. I'm afraid that they will not only have complaints against our village, but it will also be difficult for you to get past them.
But if you all believe what I say, just buy less. These things are piled in the carriage and they don’t have the courage to look through them.
But if there are too many things, these people will smell it and won’t be so easy to talk to.”
Jin Qianqian didn't expect to run into the legendary Road Bully while out for a walk. "That's interesting. How did you know they would cause trouble? Has it ever happened before?"
"Alas," Village Chief Xiao sighed again, "Before, we thought the price he offered was too low, and it kept getting lower and lower, so we thought about finding a way out ourselves.
We hadn't even gone far when we were blocked by these people.
From that time on, we knew that our village was under their surveillance at all times.
But they also have one good thing, they only come here to buy small quantities, and they won’t interfere, which leaves us a way out.”
Jin Qianqian: "..." This is not a way to survive. I'm afraid that you guys will rebel if you get pushed into a corner.
With a fishing village like yours in their hands, it would be a sustainable industry.
"You can report to the police."
"How is this possible? It's useless. It's collusion between officials and businessmen. If we go there, the most we'll get is an extra beating." The old woman accompanying the village chief said with a sneer.
Lichun: "So you're just going to let them do what they want?"
Another woman curled her lips, "What else can we do? We are just some powerless villagers, but fortunately the other party has not pushed us into a desperate situation, and the silver they gave us is enough, so we can just live like this.
If you ask me, Village Chief, you just like to do more work. Why don’t we give the goods to Wang Li and others, and save ourselves some time.
In my mother's village, they sell goods themselves, but they don't get as much silver as we do."
"Bai, don't you feel guilty for saying that?" The old woman who had spoken before pointed at her and said, "Those rags in your mother's village can be compared with us.
You can get more money, so why are you trying to push it away?"
"Stop arguing, you are making fun of me." Village Chief Xiao laughed, "We just complained casually before, you don't have to take it seriously.
How about settling the bill with these goods?"
Jin Qianqian saw the baskets being carried out and did not make things difficult for them. "Then let the village chief calculate it!"
Village Chief Xiao didn't even need to use an abacus, and quickly gave the amount. "Try to cover it up when loading it. If they stop you, remember to say they are here for the novelty and are buying some to take back."
It was the first time for Jin Qianqian to encounter such a purchase, it was like a thief.
"Settle the bill," Li Qiu took out the silver, "If you really can't sell us more, we won't be afraid of trouble from the other party."
