Chapter 438 Red Eyes
To be honest, Zhuang Qingning had no idea whether this would succeed.
All I can do is boil a pot of tea and slowly wait for the final result in agony.
The water in the kettle on the stove boiled and began to bubble up. The fragrance of chrysanthemums gradually spread in the yard, mixed with the fragrance of chrysanthemums blooming in the frost, refreshing the heart.
Such an alluring aroma, coupled with the nervousness in his heart, made Zhuang Qingning feel his throat becoming increasingly dry.
He took a white porcelain cup, poured it with chrysanthemum tea, and brought it to his mouth without waiting for the tea to cool down.
[Ding! The host has currently obtained 75% support value. ]
The sudden sound startled Zhuang Qingning, and some of the hot tea in the cup spilled out. She hissed because of the heat and quickly put down the cup.
[Ding, the host has currently obtained 80% support value. ]
[Eighty-seven percent...]
[Ninety percent…]
[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained 100% support value. ]
Yeah! Zhuang Qingning couldn't help but make a big V sign to the air.
I said, although it is a bit risky, this method is definitely effective. Once the support value is high enough, the wheat planting task can be triggered. In this way, you can broaden the channels for making wealth through task rewards.
Very good, very good!
Zhuang Qingning was in a very good mood and felt very happy inside.
[Ding, the host has obtained 110% support value. ]
Hmm? Can the support value increase again after it passes the progress bar?
As if it didn't hear Zhuang Qingning's question, the voice of a certain mechanical machine continued to ring in his mind.
[The host has obtained 120% support value. ]
[One hundred and three percent...]
[One hundred and four percent...]
[Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 150% support value! ]
[So far, the support value completed by the host exceeds 50% of the original support value. As a reward, the host has triggered the second task of promoting the planting of new agricultural plants, the task of promoting the planting of new wheat seeds. After completing the task, you can get double the reward.]
Perfect!
In addition to the scheduled tasks, there are also double rewards, which is really great! I just don’t know, this reward...
[The standard for the task of promoting the planting of new wheat seeds is that the planting area of new wheat seeds in the village this year must account for 95% of the total planting area of the village, and the planting area in other villages must not be less than 60% of the planting area of the village.]
[After completing the task, the host can obtain the primary secret handmade noodle recipe, talent point * 1. Because it is a double reward, the host can also obtain the recipe: Braised Lion's Head, talent point * 1. ]
Yes, yes.
Zhuang Qingning nodded hurriedly.
At autumn harvest, the village had a good bean harvest and the yield increased significantly because of the new bean varieties planted. If the new wheat varieties were to be promoted this time, there would be almost no need for persuasion, as the villagers would definitely plant them.
As for the planting amount in other villages, they have also heard about the bumper soybean harvest this year, and everyone is very envious. Some people have even tentatively come to Enjizhuang to buy some soybeans to prepare for planting in the fields next year.
In this case, if Enji Village had new wheat seeds, everyone would definitely come rushing to ask for them.
We must complete the mission! Zhuang Qingning was in a good mood. He drank up the still hot chrysanthemum tea in the cup. At noon, he went to Zhuang Jingye's house.
"Ning girl, you've come just in time." Zhuang Jingye blew away the ink stains on the paper that hadn't dried yet, put down his pen, and handed the paper to Zhuang Qingning. "Here are the names and amounts of silver I just wrote down. Can you come and take a look?"
"I calculated it, and the total is 639 taels of silver. I don't know if it's correct. Can you check it again later?"
"Also, you just asked me to record the number, so I just recorded it. The people who just came had silver in their hands, and I didn't ask them to leave it here. I told them to wait until I recorded it and then go door to door to get the silver after you believed it, and then let them go back first."
"Do you think this amount is enough? If it is, I will go to each household to get the silver."
Zhuang Qingning took it and looked at it carefully.
She didn't count carefully whether the number was correct, but when she saw the densely packed names on it, Zhuang Qingning felt her nose a little sour.
Every household in the whole village has its name on it, not a single one is left out.
The amounts recorded later ranged from twenty taels to one tael.
Zhuang Qingning also knew the families with one or two taels of silver. They were all extremely poor. Either they had lost their breadwinners and it was difficult for a woman to earn money to support a family, or there was someone in the family who was sick and had to take medicine all year round, which dragged the family down.
Even if it was just one or two taels of silver, which didn't seem like much, they had to spend all their family assets.
In other words, because it was she who wanted to borrow money, they were willing to do so even if it meant giving up all their family savings.
What is reflected on the paper are just a few light words, but if you put yourself in their shoes, you will wonder what kind of struggle they have gone through and what kind of determination they have made to be willing to lend out this tael of silver.
She lent the money to him without saying anything and without even giving a very clear date for repayment.
That's how the 150% support value came about.
Zhuang Qingning blinked, tried hard to block the mist in his eyes, and put down the paper in his hand.
Zhuang Jingye saw that Zhuang Qingning's eyes were red, and asked hurriedly, "But the silver is not enough?"
"No, no, that's enough, that's enough." Zhuang Qingning nodded hurriedly, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, sniffed, and answered.
"It's enough." Zhuang Jingye breathed a sigh of relief. "I also said that if it's not enough, I'll ask that bastard at home to think of a way to find some back."
"Then when shall I go to get the silver, and when will you need it?"
"No need to take it." Zhuang Qingning said, "I came here to tell you, the village head, that I have just found a way to solve the current problem and the money I should ask for will be returned, so there is no need to borrow money from you guys."
"Really?" Zhuang Jingye was a little unconvinced. "Ning girl, don't force yourself. If you really don't have enough money, just tell us. If we can lend you some, we will definitely lend you some."
"Really, there's really no need." Zhuang Qingning grinned, "If I really encounter difficulties, can I not ask everyone for help?"
"Not only did I solve the money problem just now, but I also brought back some good news."
"What good news?"
"The good news is that the merchant who sold us the bean seeds earlier has replied, saying that he has good wheat seeds and can sell them to us, and the price is negotiable."
