When the village chief heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he nodded.
"Nothing much. This is not the place to talk. Let's go."
Lin Jiuyue asked Xiyue to drive the carriage back, while she followed the village chief and walked slowly back home.
When we got home, Xiyue had already made tea.
"Uncle, let's sit down and talk."
Lin Jiuyue had been in Shangbei Village for some time. The village chief knew that Lin Jiuyue would not ask him to come over unless necessary.
"Jiuyue girl, you said you had something to tell me? What was it?"
Lin Jiuyue took a sip of tea and then said calmly,
"Uncle, I'm sure you've heard all the gossip in the village these past two days, right?"
The village chief frowned.
Although Shangbei Village is not big, gossip comes out every day.
But? Those have nothing to do with Jiu Yue girl. The things that Jiu Yue girl brought up must be related to rapeseed, right?
"I've heard a lot, but I'm not sure if what September girl is talking about is the rapeseed sprouts business."
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, it's about selling rapeseed sprouts."
"Uncle, I used to grow rapeseed, thinking of harvesting some rapeseed to make oil and selling the leftovers. I never thought rapeseed sprouts could sell so well."
"This is the first time I'm selling rapeseed sprouts. I didn't know they were so popular in winter, so I didn't tell you in advance."
When the village chief heard Lin Jiuyue's words, he quickly waved his hands.
"Jiuyue girl, this is your first time growing rapeseed. I know everything about it. Even if you knew that rapeseed sprouts were easy to sell and didn't tell me, I wouldn't blame you."
"Back then, I was already incredibly grateful for teaching me how to grow something as rare as rapeseed. As for what the villagers said, just treat them as bullshit."
When Lin Jiuyue heard the village chief's last words, she couldn't help but chuckle twice.
"Haha, uncle, you're right, I'll just treat them as farts!"
"That's right! How can the relationship between our two families be destroyed by a little rapeseed moss?"
When Lin Jiuyue heard this, she curled the corners of her mouth.
Isn't it too early for the village chief to say this now? If he knew that if he sold all the rapeseed sprouts from his one acre of rapeseed, he could get at least ten times more than if he had planted wheat, would he still say this?
"Uncle, I'm going to the town today to sell rapeseed sprouts. Can you guess how many copper coins a pound of rapeseed sprouts cost?"
The village chief chuckled twice and said happily.
"Haha, I've heard about this. One jin is ten copper coins, and above two jin is nine copper coins per jin."
Rapeseed sprouts are sold at a high price, and I can also benefit from it along with September Girl and make a small profit.
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, that's indeed a lot."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she paused for a moment and then continued.
"Even though rapeseed sprouts are so expensive, some people still don't buy them."
"Uncle, your family also planted an acre of rapeseed. Why don't you start picking rapeseed sprouts and selling them from now on?"
After hearing this, the village chief frowned.
There really isn't much rapeseed left at home, but even if it's little, we can't sell it now!
After all, the rapeseed seedlings were given to him by September Girl. It didn't make sense for him to steal someone else's business after getting their rapeseed seedlings.
"To be honest, Jiuyue girl, I've already discussed this with my family. No one in our family agrees to sell rapeseed sprouts."
Lin Jiuyue was stunned when she heard this.
Rapeseed sprouts are not only expensive but also in short supply. Why don't you agree to sell them?
"Uncle, why don't you agree? Don't you want to make more money?"
The village chief smiled and shook his head.
"September girl, when I planted that acre of rapeseed, the villagers all said I was stupid for following you to plant a species I had never seen before. But in my heart, I just had a feeling. That following you is the right thing to do."
"Now that rapeseed sprouts are selling so well, it's a bit of a face-saver for me. That's enough. How can I still compete with you for business?"
The one acre of rapeseed in my own field is indeed not much compared to the twenty acres of land in Jiu Yue's family.
But no matter how much it is, you can't do such a thing as crossing the river and destroying the bridge, right?
"Uncle, are you and Auntie worried that you will sell the rapeseed sprouts as well and then steal my business?"
Lin Jiuyue hit the nail on the head and the village chief lowered his head silently, not saying a word for a long time.
"Haha, uncle, if that's the case, then you don't have to worry at all. Although my family has 20 acres of rapeseed planted, someone has already reserved my rapeseed sprouts."
The village chief looked at Lin Jiuyue in surprise.
"Jiuyue girl, are you serious? Someone really reserved your rapeseed sprouts?"
Lin Jiuyue smiled.
"Yes, someone has reserved it. When you go back, call your aunt and the others, and pick all the rapeseed sprouts in the field and sell them."
village head:……
I don't know where this girl got such courage from. Isn't she worried that if her family also started selling rapeseed sprouts, she would sell less?
"September girl, you..."
Before the village chief finished his words, Lin Jiuyue guessed what he was going to say to her.
"Uncle, I have a lot of rapeseed at home, so I might have to pick a lot. To be honest, your one acre of land won't have much of an impact on me."
The village chief thought about it.
"Jiuyue girl, uncle knows you want me to make more money. But can't this matter be handled this way?"
Lin Jiuyue frowned.
The village chief is a good person in every way, except that he is sometimes a little too polite.
"Uncle, what kind of relationship do our two families have? Do you think I would care about this little bit of benefit? If I really cared that much, I wouldn't have given you the rapeseed seedlings when I was growing them."
"Now that you've planted your rapeseed, it's time to make money. If you don't sell it now, are you going to wait for it to rot in the fields?"
"Haha! Jiuyue girl, look at what you're saying. Didn't you say that rapeseed is harvested? The rapeseed hasn't even started to bear fruit yet, so how could it be rotting in the ground?"
Seeing that the village chief was so stubborn, Lin Jiuyue felt a little angry.
"Uncle, I have to say something to you. We should be flexible in what we do, right? Rapeseed sprouts are selling well now, so let's sell them."
"As for this money, no matter what, the only way to feel at ease is to have it in your hands. We are not prophets, so who can predict what will happen in the future?"
After listening to Lin Jiuyue, the village chief felt that what she said made some sense.
"Haha, what September girl said makes sense. Then uncle will not be polite to you?"
