Chapter 226: Time Reveals People's Hearts
"My son brought it back. He said it was a reward from the county magistrate. It's quite sweet. You should try it." Zhuang Jingye stuffed the cut melon into Zhuang Qingning's hand.
"Thank you, uncle, the village head." Zhuang Qingning took it, but put it aside for the time being, and put the sack he brought beside him: "Let me get straight to the point. I came to see uncle, the village head today to discuss something."
“It’s still quite important.”
When Zhuang Qingning said that there was something important to discuss, Zhuang Jingye's lazy demeanor disappeared, and he even straightened his body a little. He stopped eating the melon in his hand and put it aside: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"About the bean seeds." Zhuang Qingning untied the rope on the sack and took a handful of bean seeds to show Zhuang Jingye: "Uncle head of the village, take a look. What do you think of these bean seeds?"
Zhuang Jingye looked at it closely, and even took it and weighed it: "It looks good, big and round, but we have to see how the yield is."
"The yield is about 20% higher than that of ordinary beans." Zhuang Qingning said, "You can try these beans. They taste better than ordinary beans and have a strong bean fragrance. When you grind tofu later, it will taste good and yield more tofu."
"What you mean is..." Zhuang Jingye paused while waving the palm-leaf fan in his hand.
"I think because of my tofu shop this year, many people in our village are planning to plant more beans in the autumn. I happened to have some of these bean seeds, so I was thinking about whether I could let everyone in the village plant these good bean seeds."
"Firstly, this bean variety will produce a lot of beans and a high yield. Secondly, these beans taste good when ground into tofu. I also want to make it convenient for myself and make the tofu taste better."
"But if I were to tell everyone about this, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the time. Others might not believe me and think I was up to something. So I thought of talking to you, the village head, about this."
"You are the head of the village, and everyone will believe what you say, so this matter will be easy to handle."
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "If we plant these beans, the yield will be high and every household will be able to make more money. And I will also have good beans to harvest when I grind tofu in the future. It can be said that it is the best of both worlds."
"Uncle Lizheng, what do you think?"
"That sounds like a good thing..."
Zhuang Jingye touched his chin.
The yield is high, and the people can make more money. Zhuang Qingning uses good beans to grind tofu, so the tofu she grinds will naturally taste better and her business will be better. If the tofu shop expands in the future, the whole village will become a little richer.
No matter how I look at it, it seems to be a very good thing. It can not only help ordinary people make money, but also help him gain enough face. It's the best of both worlds. Not bad, not bad.
but……
"However, how much do you sell these bean seeds for?" Zhuang Jingye asked, "If they are too expensive, I'm afraid they won't work."
"The price is not expensive, the same as ordinary bean seeds. If you are short of money right now, you can plant them first, and then return the beans when the beans are harvested. If you borrow one pound of bean seeds, you can return them with two pounds of beans." Zhuang Qingning replied with a smile.
"That sounds like a good thing..." Zhuang Jingye nodded.
After a moment of silence, he frowned and said, "That's the matter. I'm afraid it's not easy to handle."
"Uncle village head is worried that our own bean seeds are in good condition and we don't want to replace them with other bean seeds at will?" Zhuang Qingning asked with a smile.
"yes."
Zhuang Jingye nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Every family has always used their own bean seeds. If you suddenly ask them to use new ones, they will be a little worried. Many people are afraid of spending money, and they are also afraid that your bean seeds may look good, but the actual results may not be what they thought."
"After all, it's just one season's harvest. No one dares to take any more risks. We'd rather play it safe and not take any risks."
"And if you're so generous, it will make people wonder if there's something wrong with your bean seeds. I won't dare to try it easily."
"But having said that, my family can accept these bean seeds, so don't worry, Ning girl."
This bean seed looks good, so there is no need to spend money to buy it now. I can sell it to Zhuang Qingning to give him face. He may as well give it a try. It’s just one season’s harvest, so even if the harvest is not good, how bad can it be?
His family is not short of money for beans this season.
As for other people's, I'm afraid it's... difficult! Zhuang Qingning's idea was good, but it was not the case when it came to practice.
"I know what the village head uncle means, but I think this is how it can be done..." Zhuang Qingning said in a low voice.
"This..." Zhuang Jingye listened to Zhuang Qingning's words, and his frown gradually relaxed. Finally, he slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "Good idea."
"Why didn't I think of this method? They say that seeing is believing, and seeing with your own eyes is always right."
Zhuang Jingye's face was full of smiles as he spoke.
"It just so happens that I also took a close look. To be honest with you, Miss Ning, I know your character and vision, and I believe everything you say. You said that this bean seed is not bad, so of course I think it is not bad, but this is just my own opinion. There is no problem with my own use. But if you want me to persuade others, after all, I haven't actually tried it myself, so I have no confidence in my heart, and I can't stand up straight when I speak."
"It just so happens that the method you mentioned can help me dispel my doubts. If others see it, they will know what to choose."
"Not bad, not bad. This method is really good."
To put it bluntly, Zhuang Jingye didn't know whether this thing was good or bad, but because it was brought by her, he was willing to give it a try. If it was someone else's, he wouldn't be sure.
Zhuang Qingning smiled and said, "Thank you, uncle, for trusting me so much."
After all, it is a new thing, and being able to try it without saying anything, no matter what the purpose is, has already given enough face. Zhuang Qingning is very satisfied with this.
"Oh, what's the big deal? Isn't this what I should do?" Zhuang Jingye scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly. "I was also very worried about you before, fearing that you would cause trouble, but it was probably because we had only been together for a short time. The longer we have been together, the more I feel that you are capable and have ideas."
"Time reveals a person's true character. The old saying is true."
"That's what happened." Zhuang Qingning smiled.
Seeing that Zhuang Qingning didn't mention a word about the past, it was obvious that she didn't care at all. Zhuang Jingye felt that Zhuang Qingning was very sensible. The more he looked at Zhuang Qingning, the more he felt that everything about her was good.
This girl has a bright future ahead of her.
It’s a pity that it’s a girl. If it was a boy, I’m afraid they could have lived together for a long time in the future.
