After Yuan Mei looked around to make sure no one was watching, she quietly took two steps closer. Her voice was soft, "I really appreciate you. I'll definitely treat you to a good meal when I have time."
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. As she left, a faint fragrance inadvertently drifted into Xie Liang's nose, making his heart flutter and unable to control himself for a long time.
At the same time, Xu Qinghe made a new discovery at home.
That day, she had nothing to do, so she began to carefully wipe the various small items she had received from Grandpa Qian.
When she carefully cleaned the seemingly ordinary wooden jewelry box, she unexpectedly discovered that there seemed to be some secret hidden at the bottom of the box.
After careful aiming, she finally uncovered a hidden compartment, which contained a yellowed silver note from the Qianlong period. This sudden discovery surprised her and filled her heart with indescribable excitement.
She quickly stopped what she was doing and gently patted her mud-stained hands to make sure every inch of her skin was free from moisture. Then she carefully and slowly took out the mysterious object from her arms.
Although she did not have professional identification knowledge and could not tell its authenticity at a glance, the sense of cherishment in her heart because it was hard-earned became stronger and stronger.
The fact that the item was hidden so secretly made her believe that it was of extraordinary value.
Xu Qinghe did not say anything, but with a barely perceptible smile on her lips, she quietly put the heavy banknotes into her private space where only she could reach.
A plan gradually took shape in her mind - when the time was right, she would send these banknotes along with other collected treasures to the auction house, which would surely attract countless bidders and fetch a considerable fortune.
As her thoughts flowed, she couldn't help but think of the lively little koi swimming in the spiritual spring in the space.
She firmly believes that it is these little lives that have brought her endless good luck.
So, filled with gratitude, she specially selected a few of the most delicious fish food and gently sprinkled them into the spiritual spring. Watching them happily fighting for food, the joy in her heart overflowed.
Then, she carefully resealed the jewelry box that contained the secret, secretly admiring that the wood of the box was tough and had a fine texture, obviously made of high-quality wood.
So she just used a soft dry cloth to gently wipe off the dust on the surface, and then placed it safely in a secret corner that only she knew.
"I've made a fortune!" Xu Qinghe cheered silently in her heart. She began to realize that she seemed to have an indescribable talent in the process of exploring and discovering treasures.
Perhaps, this was not just a coincidence, but an opportunity given to her by fate, allowing her to make a living from it and even achieve success in her career.
This realization made her more determined, and she decided to make full use of her abilities and look for more opportunities to visit those secret black markets, which are the distribution centers of all kinds of rare treasures. Who knows what kind of amazing treasure she will discover next time?
This plan quietly took root in her mind, and she began to look forward to the next time she went into the city.
Time flies. Before long, the village chief came to the door in person, his face filled with irrepressible joy. It was obvious at a glance that he must have come with good news.
Seeing this, Xu Qinghe hurried forward to greet him, respectfully invited the village director into the house, and then personally prepared a cup of malted milk.
Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled, her tone full of anticipation: "Grandpa Village Director, you've come to visit me in person. Do you have any good news to tell us?"
The village director looked at the cup of hot malted milk in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Xu Qinghe's attentiveness and respect made him feel extremely gratified.
"Oh, it's not a big deal," the village director said casually, but the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened with his smile, revealing his inner excitement. "It's that small workshop in our village. You know, the one that specializes in supplying bean sprouts and pea flour to the supply and marketing cooperative. It's been very popular in the city recently, and sales have been soaring. Even the leaders above have noticed it and plan to come to our village to inspect it personally, mainly to see if our sanitary conditions meet the standards. If all goes well, we may have the opportunity to establish cooperative relationships with several other supply and marketing cooperatives!"
Although the village director's words sounded nonchalant, his smile, which was almost blooming into a flower, revealed his extreme excitement.
For the village director, this is not only a recognition of the small workshop, but also an affirmation of the entire village.
If it can really gain the favor of the leaders, expand the production scale and attract more investment and cooperation, then this small workshop may become an engine to drive the economic development of the entire village, allowing Fengtai Village to gradually build a modern small factory and lead the villagers to a more prosperous life.
Xu Qinghe listened to the village chief's words, his eyes sparkling with excitement, his voice filled with enthusiasm: "This is really great! When the time comes, we will definitely go all out, show our best side, and let our village's name spread far and wide!"
The village chief nodded repeatedly, feeling even more relieved.
In fact, Fengtai Village has long been well-known locally. Every time he goes out, he can feel the admiring gazes from people around him.
Be it his superiors or the village chiefs of other villages, they all had more respect and envy for him.
Especially the village chiefs, each of them tried every means to get close to him and used all kinds of words to praise him, just hoping to find out the secret of making the bowl of bean powder from him.
But his heart was as clear as a mirror, and those flattering words just passed by and disappeared, so he would never take them seriously and embed them in his heart.
Bean sprouts and pea flour, these two seemingly insignificant ingredients, are secret recipes in their village. They have supported the hopes and dreams of countless families. How can they easily leak out this treasure that they rely on for survival?
"I've come here today specifically to ask you to come to the workshop early tomorrow morning and examine every corner with your discerning eye to see which aspects can be improved. We must plan ahead and make thorough preparations in advance. Don't worry, I will deploy the most capable personnel to assist you. You must know that the leaders' motorcade will arrive the day after tomorrow morning. Time is running out, so you must race against time."
"Furthermore, this isn't just an inspection; it's a perfect stage for you to showcase yourself and earn recognition. While I see your hard work and contributions daily, and I never fail to award you points, at crucial moments, you must demonstrate exceptional agility and efficiency to impress your superiors. This impression is sometimes more important than anything else. Do you understand what I mean?"
Today, the village director regards Xu Qinghe as his own jewel, and cultivates her with great care, knowing that this young girl has the power to lead the entire village to prosperity.
