Chapter 251 Selling Things to Them
Gu Xixi looked up at everyone calmly and said with a smile, "Anyone who wants to learn is welcome."
The old doctor said, "If you are successful, you should help the world. Since Xixi has this idea, it's a good thing."
Although Aunt Zhang also hopes that everyone in the village can live a good life, she doesn't want to benefit certain annoying people.
She thought for a moment and said, "Where are those two old men named Gu?"
"Why did they trip you up for this? They even stirred up trouble and almost hurt you!"
"Everyone else can do it, except these two families!"
Seeing Aunt Zhang’s unhappy face, Gu Xixi deliberately joked, “Besides Uncle Gu’s and Uncle Gu’s families, did you forget to mention my uncle’s family?”
Aunt Zhang was startled, frowned and hesitated for a moment, then said, "Forget about it, Third Gu."
"The daughter married far away and has never come back to see them, and the son has become like that. This is retribution enough."
"We don't have to be nice to them. Just teach them how to farm. If they want to listen, let them do it."
"Xixi, what do you think?"
Gu Xixi smiled and nodded, "I knew that Auntie is a kind-hearted person number one."
Aunt Zhang sticks to her principles. "I'm not kind to everyone, I just want to see that the third brother and his wife are well behaved now. Last time the two old men made trouble, his family didn't intervene. So we'll just stop associating with them in the future."
"But Gu Da and Gu Er keep jumping around, just for your secret recipe for growing crops."
"If we let them succeed, will there still be justice in this world?"
Gu Xixi was not the kind of person who would repay kindness with grievances, so she naturally had a plan in mind.
She took a sip of porridge and said, "The land temple is a place shared by all villagers. I have no right to stop anyone."
"Anyone who wants to listen can listen tomorrow, but..."
She paused, a sly smile appeared on her lips, "I teach you how to grow corn. All I can say is sowing seeds, using pesticides, fertilizing, watering, weeding, etc."
“The timing, the usage, the dosage, these are things that can be taught, but there are also things that cannot be taught.”
Shitou raised his hand, "I know!"
"They are the various medicines and fertilizers used on crops."
"Didn't that idiot Gu Erye suffer a great loss?"
Gu Xixi praised with a smile, "You are so smart, you are worthy of being a child of the Miaomu family."
Shitou puffed out his chest proudly and said coquettishly, "Sister Xixi, you promised me that you must use my fruit trees next year!"
Gu Xixi patted his head and said, "No problem."
Before the spring, Shitou had solemnly mentioned this matter.
However, the trip did not take place due to issues such as exceeding Gu Xixi's budget and time constraints.
Gu Xixi told Shitou that it would definitely happen next year.
The Shitou family's nursery could not be left unattended, so Gu Xixi asked Madam Meng to make some connections and found an old man who used to take care of fruit trees for wealthy families to take care of it.
They agreed that the fruits from the garden this year and five hundred strings of cash from Gu Xixi would be given as compensation.
Mrs. Meng was also a loyal person. She not only ordered people to register the fruit trees in the nursery, but also let Shitou confirm it himself.
From time to time, she sent the manager of the Treasure Pavilion to conduct surprise inspections on the nursery.
Little Shitou went to school peacefully and played happily in Huachidu Village, and he had no idea how hard the adults had worked in private to protect his little property.
Back to the present, He Jinglan raised another doubt, "Didn't Ke Xixi say before that Mr. Gu didn't know the method and stole some fertilizer, which would only backfire."
"But aren't you going to publish the method now? Isn't that fulfilling his wish?"
Gu Xixi glanced at Shitou and said, "Shitou, you speak."
"Hehe..." Shitou grinned, "What good can the little he stole be?"
"Besides, just listening to the method will not achieve the same effect. If you want to follow my sister Xixi's method completely, you will need to use several kinds of fertilizers, powders, and liquid medicines, and the dosage will be large."
"It's complicated to grow something. When you add it all up, it's not that easy!"
He Jinglan frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly understood.
"You want them all to come to you to buy things?"
"And as long as they want to grow more food than others, they have no choice but to keep buying from you!"
Gu Xixi waved her hand, "Don't make me sound like a black-hearted profiteer."
"Except for the simplest farmyard manure and wood ash, no one can make the others even if I tell them how to make them."
He Jinglan pursed her lips as if her teeth were sour, "Although I know you are telling the truth."
"But there's always a feeling that you're showing off."
Gu Xixi smiled bitterly. She was not a chemical engineering major and had no interest in this business.
So she had mentioned it before when An Qinghe was here.
An Qinghe wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he had found a suitable place, bought all the necessary tools and raw materials according to the list given by Gu Xixi, and was looking for reliable craftsmen.
The location is not far from Huachidu Village.
As long as Gu Xixi has time to come over and give guidance for a few days, the workshop will be able to operate quickly.
He Jinglan was shocked when she heard this. "You gave the profitable business to An Qinghe again! It's not fair!"
Gu Xixi said with some amusement, "What do you mean by again? This is the first one."
He Jinglan was not convinced, "This is not the first time. I know that he wrote to you the last time he returned to Yunling County, talking about the benefits of bagging Pinellia fruit."
"People from their nursery business said that although the final results have not yet been seen, from what they can see now, there are fewer insect pests and fruit diseases. There was a small hailstorm in the summer, but it did not damage the fruit."
"And he also said that the orchard you just selected in Shu is growing very well."
"Didn't you do all this for An Qinghe? All these benefits are not enough!"
Aunt Zhang couldn't help laughing and said, "You sound very unhappy, but from what I heard, you just praised our Xixi, as if you were showing off how capable Xixi is."
She said to the old doctor, "If Miss He hadn't told us today, we wouldn't have known about it."
He Jinglan was exposed and blushed, "I wasn't just praising her, I was just angry, she took An Qinghe to play and didn't take me!"
Gu Xixi laughed and said to the two elders first, "Brother An just started it and is still waiting for the result. The process is nothing big, so I didn't mention it specifically."
She coaxed He Jinglan again, "This pesticide and fertilizer workshop is inevitably dirty. How can it be suitable for Miss He who is good at eating, drinking and having fun?"
"In the future, we will make a fortune, and it will mainly depend on you."
He Jinglan stood up and smiled at Gu Xixi, "I think so too."
Because of the rain, the guest that Gu Xixi was waiting for today was late.
It was past noon when I heard someone knocking on the door in the rain.
"Excuse me, is there a female boss here?"
Hearing that the person was not an acquaintance in the village, Shitou and Xiaohua quickly ran to the side of the big kang, and used their hands (claws) to pull the window screen to look out.
When Gu Xixi put on her shoes and got off the kang, He Jinglan already recognized the sound.
"Manager Liao from the grain store?"
