Old man Qin worked silently in this family. He took the fish handed to him by the old woman, put it under the well, and then went to the kitchen to get a kitchen knife.
With a flick of the knife, he quickly cleaned the two fish. Except for the fish bubbles, he kept them and threw the rest to the chickens.
In the yard, Captain Liu and the Qin Jiandang brothers sat in the pavilion and chatted.
"Captain Liu, why do you look so worried? Did something happen?" Qin Jiandang asked with concern when he saw Captain Liu frowning.
Captain Liu couldn't help but sighed: "It's not me who got into trouble, it's my brother-in-law. Two years ago, he contracted an orchard with grapefruits and oranges.
I had hoped to make a fortune by starting my own business through the policy of reform and opening up.
Who knew that the grapefruits in the orchard were bitter and the oranges were so sour that they were completely unpalatable.
Now it is harvest season again, but the fruits are still bitter and sour. I contacted several cannery owners, hoping to get them to buy at a low price so that I can make some profit.
Who knew that after tasting it, they would just not want it.
So far, he has not made a single deal.”
"This is indeed a terrible thing, but when your brother-in-law took over the orchard, didn't he conduct any investigation?" Qin Jiandang asked curiously.
Logically, such a large orchard should not be taken over so easily.
After hearing his doubts, Captain Liu sighed again: "He was just crazy about getting rich. When he took over in July, he only saw that the fruit trees were densely packed with fruits, but because they were not yet ripe, he didn't know whether the fruits would taste good.
But at that time the fruit farmers were in a hurry to sell and the price was not very high, so he wanted to take a chance.
So he scraped together the money, but found out in the first year that the fruit was not edible. But by the time he found out, it was too late. The farmer had sold the fruit and left, and no one knew where he had gone.
"How much did you spend on the acquisition?" Qin Jianguo asked immediately.
"It cost a total of five hundred and thirty dollars, and there are six hundred orange trees and five hundred and fifty grapefruit trees."
After listening to Captain Liu's words, the Qin Jiandang brothers also felt that it was indeed cheap, but it was precisely because it was cheap that people were more suspicious.
If the fruit was easy to sell, why would the other party get rid of it so quickly and in a hurry? It's obvious that there's something wrong.
But it's too late to regret now. I've already bought it and there's no possibility of going back on my word, unless some unlucky guy takes over.
"My brother-in-law asked me to help him find someone willing to take over. Don't you think this is embarrassing?
If I introduce this kind of orchard that is clearly losing money to others, it would be like cheating them, and then I would have to quit my job as village chief." This is also what Captain Liu is most worried about.
Qin Han has been paying attention to their words. Whoever takes over this orchard will definitely not make any money, no matter how high or low the price is.
But if he was there, the result would be completely different.
In this era, fruit has always been a rare commodity. An average family can only eat fruit once a month, and some may even have to buy some every six months to try something new.
If Mom takes over the orchard, and he secretly uses spiritual water to irrigate it for a period of time, won't people rush to buy the fruits?
It just so happened that my mother always said that as a woman, she couldn't earn money and couldn't support the family, and she was always under great psychological pressure.
If you ask her to buy an orchard now, she won't think so much when she makes money.
Thinking of this, he walked to Captain Liu, opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Uncle Liu, you just said that your relative has an orchard to sell, so how much does he plan to sell it for?"
Captain Liu saw that Han'er was asking seriously and his tone was also very conscientious, so he did not treat him as an ordinary child: "It can be sold for three hundred yuan, and he doesn't want anything inside.
Why, Han'er, do you want to take it in?"
Qin Han shook his head: "No, it's my mother who had this idea, so let me ask you."
"Son, ask your mother to come over. I will have a good talk with her and ask her not to act on impulse. You should discuss this matter with your family first." Captain Liu was afraid that Jiang Yuxin would be like his brother-in-law and know nothing, so he closed the orchard.
He was a man who didn't like speaking against his conscience, and what's more, the people who wanted to take over the orchard were from the Qin family, so he couldn't repay kindness with enmity and deceive them.
So Qin Han called his mother over. Jiang Yuxin, who was confused, listened to Captain Liu's inexplicable words and was confused. When did she say she wanted to contract the orchard?
She didn't even know where the orchard was, and just opened her mouth to ask.
As a result, Han'er, who was standing beside her, kept blinking at her, and she knew that Han'er must have said something to Captain Liu.
So she nodded and said, "Captain Liu, I think this orchard is pretty good, and the price is not high, so I want to give it a try. Even if I lose money in the end, I won't regret it."
Seeing that Jiang Yuxin didn't seem to be joking, Captain Liu couldn't help but look at the Qin Jiandang brothers, wanting to see what they thought.
Qin Jiandang was also a little confused. He never expected that his third brother's wife would be interested in the orchard.
But since it was the choice of the third brother's wife, it would be difficult for them, as the eldest and second uncles, to pour cold water on them.
Thinking that Han'er and his master are at home, maybe the orchard can really make money.
So, he immediately said: "Captain Liu, since my third sister-in-law said she wants to give it a try, then you can say hello to your brother-in-law and take us to have a look. If there is no problem, we can do the deal directly."
Now it was Captain Liu's turn to be confused. It was okay for Jiang Yuxin, a woman, not to understand business matters, but how come Qin Jiandang couldn't tell the difference either?
