Chapter 259 Don't Miss the Opportunity
Everyone is looking forward to Gu Xixi revealing her "secret recipe" for free.
Gu Xixi calmed herself down and spoke the speech she had prepared in advance.
Let’s talk about common diseases and pests of corn and how to prevent them.
From how to promote growth, to what factors can be implemented to make the corn ears large and full and achieve a good yield.
As well as the distinction between different types and functions of fertilization, watering, and medication.
The whole audience was silent.
People like Lao Qian, who can read and write, prepared paper and pen in advance and took notes while listening.
There are even more people who are illiterate. After hearing one sentence, they immediately forget that one. There are some contents that they don’t even understand after hearing them, and their heads are almost a mess.
Gu Xixi had anticipated this and discussed it with Lao Qian in advance.
Old Qian wrote furiously, saying loudly, "Don't panic, everyone. Just take in as much as you can. I've written it all down."
"If there's anything you don't understand, we can talk about it anytime."
Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief and continued to listen attentively.
Gu Xixi never drags her feet, so she can finish her talk in just the time it takes to eat a meal.
Someone started asking, "If I want to grow as much corn as you do, I have to do all the things you said, right?"
Gu Xixi nodded, "That's right."
Another person added, "Then you should also teach us how to use the medicine and fertilizer you mentioned."
He Jinglan looked at Xixi worriedly. Isn't this putting someone on the fire? How should she answer?
Gu Xixi raised her eyes and looked at everyone, "Buy it."
It was like dropping cold water into a hot oil pan, causing an uproar at the scene.
Buy? That means I have to spend money?!
Although Uncle Gu and Uncle Gu II did not come out themselves today, people from both their families came.
Gu Youfu sneered and said loudly, "I was wondering how she could possibly have a change of heart and teach us the secret recipe."
"In the end, they are still trying to make money for themselves and sucking blood from us!"
"Oh, she even called those people with the surname Gu from other villages. She really only wants to screw over her own people!"
"You are just stupid. You traveled such a long distance for nothing!"
Gu Youfu is the eldest son of Uncle Gu. He is a bit scheming. He was the one who instigated the attack on Gu Xixi by the Gu clan members before.
The two families were expelled from the clan, and they were already unhappy. Wouldn't they take this opportunity to mock them today?
Fortunately, the other members of the Gu family at the scene were not led astray by Gu Youfu's words.
Someone retorted, "You're here too, aren't you? You're talking as if you knew it was just a pile of shit, but you still had to taste the saltiness?"
Uncle Gu's family didn't have a very good reputation in the village. The villagers laughed and some even started to make a fuss.
Lao Qian had to step in to maintain order.
When it was quiet, Gu Xixi continued, "You don't have to say such harsh words. I say my own thing. It's up to you whether you are willing to do it and how to do it."
“In addition, the pesticides and fertilizers are not purchased directly from me. The amount I produce after working so hard is barely enough for my own use.
“After that, if there is a supply from the workshop, I will use the same things and no longer make them myself.”
Everyone was talking about it.
With the previous experience with the Pinellia fruit tree, no one except Gu Youfu was in a hurry to sing a different tune this time.
After all, the families who followed Gu Xixi in planting trees seemed to have become rich.
No one wants to miss the opportunity again because of a momentary impulse.
Villager A asked, "Our ancestors have used manure for generations and don't buy fertilizer. Is it okay to use this?"
Gu Xixi said, "What you said can be used as base fertilizer, but it must be combined with at least one other fertilizer."
Villager B raised his hand, "Then can't we really do it ourselves?"
Gu Xixi smiled, "I can only say that it is not easy to make fertilizers and pesticides. Even if I give you the method, you may not be able to make it successfully. Raw materials always require capital, right? If you fail to make it, it will be a waste of raw materials, and you will also need to buy tools for making it."
"Everyone can do the math and see what is the best deal."
Everyone continued to discuss, some nodded, some frowned.
At this time, Shitou said loudly, "You want to do it yourself? Sister Xixi failed at least a hundred or eighty times for every one she succeeded. Are you sure you can be better than her?"
"If you guys are out there doing this, the corn might be ripe by the time you've prepared the fertilizer!"
The crowd was in an uproar again. Is it really that difficult?
Some of the local Gu family leaders were quick-witted and whispered, "It's so complicated. No wonder Second Master Gu only stole some fat water before. It was useless!"
Others agreed, "It seems that Boss Gu never lied to us before!"
More and more people are becoming more active.
Especially those who come from relatively affluent families are already prepared to ask about the price.
Shitou crossed his arms and said like a little adult, "Besides, that was the recipe that my sister Xixi worked on many times, staying up late into the night, spending so much money, making it over and over again, testing it over and over again. Why should I let you use it for nothing?"
"We kids all know that we can't take other people's hard work for nothing!"
"Before, it was you who chased people for the secret recipe, and now it's you who are afraid that my sister Xixi will take advantage of her."
"No one is forcing you to buy or sell. Even if you collect too much grain, it won't go to our granary!"
The children spoke without restraint, and their words made the adults blush.
At the same time, it also completely woke them up.
Yes, Gu Xixi taught the method, and eventually the corn harvest increased and everyone belonged to their families.
Why would anyone need to cheat them?
Besides, buying pesticides and fertilizers for your own use is obviously less troublesome and more economical than making them yourself.
Gu Xixi spent her own money and effort to create the recipe. So what if she makes some profit from it?
Once upon a time, someone wanted to learn how to make a living as a vegetable farmer from Uncle Gu’s family, and even after being promised benefits, Uncle Gu still refused!
This kind of thinking will lead to a hundred solutions.
Someone immediately asked about the price.
Gu Xixi said truthfully, "This is not my responsibility. The specific price has not been set yet. You all know the person who did this. It's An Qinghe."
Everyone smiled as they remembered the enthusiastic blue-eyed young man.
"Xiao An!"
"Is he back?"
Gu Xixi said, "He should deliver the goods in a few days, and we'll see then, but..."
There were some people happy and some people sad in the yard.
Gu Xixi took in all those sad expressions and changed the subject, "There is one thing I can guarantee."
"First, the price will not be high, and everyone will definitely be able to afford it."
"Second, if you have some spare money, you can buy it directly. If you are short of money at the moment, don't worry, you can buy it on credit. All credit will be in my name. I won't charge you any interest during the corn growing period. You can just pay back the money you owe after the autumn harvest."
As soon as these words were spoken, those who were worried suddenly looked happy.
Someone asked incredulously, "You can buy on credit, and there's no interest? You don't need us to pledge your money?"
Gu Xixi smiled and said, "No need."
"However, in order to prevent people from deliberately defaulting on their debts, we will charge interest after the autumn harvest. If you are late, the interest will be charged at 1%."
He Jinglan said, "Don't worry, I won't let you accumulate interest and end up not being able to pay it back."
"Xixi will write it down on the credit agreement. As long as you strictly follow her instructions, if the yield per mu does not reach 500 kilograms, you only need to pay back half of the debt!"
