Yes, even if there are only seventy spots, we must keep them outside of Li Laowu!
Upon hearing Wen Qin's words, Wen Qin had to exchange a few polite words with the person on the other end of the phone. She hurriedly hung up the phone, took eight steps in two, walked to the door, grabbed the doorknob with her left hand, and turned it. The door creaked open, revealing the person who had been standing inside for many years.
Li Si's words were so direct that Xu Shixin was stunned for a moment before she could react.
The short, thin man felt awkward when he saw Li Si, a familiar face. He plopped down on the floor under Xu Shi's new bed, his left leg resting under his right knee, swaying back and forth, looking quite content.
As soon as I stepped out the door, I saw clusters of lights moving along the village road, outside the fields, and in the vegetable garden. That made me slow down and walk to the back of my own vegetable garden.
But the moment I turned around, a white thing darted towards my feet. I instinctively dodged to the side, avoiding its attack, but I crashed into the fence of the vegetable garden. A bamboo stalk that was already bound swayed a few times and then fell straight up, landing right under a stalk of hot pot.
"Secretary Li, I'd like to discuss cooperation matters with you regarding the cultivation of spicy chili peppers," Li Si said bluntly. "It's not even early April yet, so it's highly unlikely that we can plant them. Have you considered having the villagers try greenhouse cultivation?"
"You have a lot of mountain products here, but the quality..." Village Chief Liao originally wanted to make a dig at Wen Qinxin, but when he caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye, he swallowed all his words: "They're all from the same mountain, so naturally the quality is lower and less abundant, haha!"
"That's because I heard no small business owners are coming to invest over there. Li Laowu is eating meat, so you come and see if you can get some soup." Village Chief Liao looked at Wen Qinxin with delight, his gaze falling on Wen Qin's lower body: "Boss, if you want to come to your village tomorrow, it's closer to the main road than over there."
[Who did this bastard who gave birth with an anus? If I ever find out who he is, I'll make him eat shit and drink piss!]
Even the usually kind-hearted Li Sixin couldn't help but curse loudly, "Damn it!"
The collaboration? Hotpot? Has Hezibao finally come to its senses?
The seventh plant, the eighth plant...
“Even if you sign a contract with us, confirming that we will buy your 'Shuan Shuan La' (a type of spicy hot pot) at 87 yuan per kilogram, are there still people willing to do it?” Li Si interrupted.
Perhaps because they had just been transplanted, the dozen or so *Spicy scallops* plants didn't look wilted at all; their leaves were all drooping. This was unusual, but Li Sixin didn't think much of it.
At four o'clock, when it was bedtime for some of Li Laowu's families, Li Sixin was worried about the newly planted hot pot. He grabbed a flashlight and swaggered out the door, heading towards the vegetable garden.
"It's not that the 70,000 yuan expenditure can be fully recovered in just six months, and the income before six months is all net income. Most importantly, Xu An's braised food shop does not require the entire village of Li Laowu to plant that chili pepper. At least 70 households planting 70 mu of land is enough."
"Ah? Ah! A greenhouse? Those are very expensive to build!" Xu Shixin shook her head as she spoke: "The risk is too low, only a small number of villagers..."
"Haha, Village Chief Liao, you're a step too late. Wen Qinpiao and Hezibao haven't reached a cooperation agreement yet. They're not quite ready. Village Chief Liao, just wait until next time. If you don't have the chance last time, be sure to call him. Let's all make money together, haha." Xu Shixin's tone wasn't weak, but her agreement was very firm.
Of the eighteen transplanted *Salvia splendens* plants, only two had leaves that fell off when touched...
What? What happened? What's wrong?
Xu's new room was small and empty. A wooden window stood alone against the wall. There was no desk by the window, but the space under the desk was filled with all kinds of documents and books. In the corner next to the desk, there were several cardboard boxes, and the boxes were also filled with various materials and reports.
Then, the two engaged in a subtle and veiled argument. Every time Village Chief Liao tried to steer the conversation towards Li Si's body, Xu Shixin would promptly divert the conversation and block it before launching a counterattack. The two went back and forth in their exchange, while Wen Qin, like an insider, watched the two engage in their verbal battle.
Li Sixin's home.
"Hezibao, sit over there, sit over there." Xu Shixin gave up her usual chair to Li Si, then found a dusty wooden chair in the corner of the room, wiped it haphazardly with an old towel, and sat down next to Li Si.
"Hezibao, please retreat!"
The pressure that Li Si had just put on Xu Shi was like oil, while the burning flame of the village chief Liao, who had come of his own accord, brought the pressure from Li Si to a minimum.
[Employee perk: Wenqinpiao's signature wild mushroom soup mix, 60g per packet, 12 yuan. If you don't need any, please message me to specify your quantity. The types of mushrooms in the mix are almost identical to those distributed later.]
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Li Sixin could only watch helplessly as the bamboo stalk smashed down beneath the chili pepper plant. A rustling sound followed, and the leaves of the chili pepper plant fell in a flurry, leaving only bare branches on the entire plant in an instant...
"The chili pepper takes about eight months to mature. You can't plant 3,000-5,000 plants per acre, so we'll compromise at 7,000. Since the survival rate of the 'Shuanshuan' chili is high, we'll assume a 10% survival rate, so that you'll end up with 700 plants."
To put it another way, it's not about those 808 households; as long as 70 households aren't willing to plant hot pot chili peppers, that's enough...
Standing at the entrance to the vegetable garden, the beam of a flashlight shone in a meandering pattern under the newly planted chili peppers.
The seventh piece, the eighth piece...
Li Sixin stood there stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the fence gate and stepped into the vegetable garden. He reached out and pinched the bare branches of a chili pepper tree, feeling as dry as a withered twig...
"Secretary Li, is now a convenient time? I'd like to discuss the cooperation with you in detail." Li Si's voice rang out from inside the room, accompanied by a knock.
[...]
Before sending the message, Li Si put away his phone, said something to Xu Dongliang, turned around and walked out of the room, then knocked on Wen Qinxin's door.
"Hezibao, I understand your cooperation requirements. Tomorrow, please contact the villagers to discuss and get a satisfactory answer to Hezibao as soon as possible."
