Looking at the puzzled expressions of the crowd, the village head also understood what they were thinking at the moment. He sighed and then explained:
"The Lin family is very kind and generous to take you all with them to plant potatoes. You can keep the potatoes for yourself next year. These ten cents are nothing."
"The most important thing is the kindness of the Lin family. They are living a good life, and it's not your help. What responsibility do they have to help you?"
The headman's words came from the heart. If he hadn't seen so many people here, he really wouldn't have wanted to lose face and go to the Lin family to plead for mercy.
It was they who said they didn't want to grow potatoes with the Lin family. Now the Lin family is willing to put aside the past, but it is you people who are not happy about it.
If these people are still not satisfied this time, then he will not serve them. They can plant or not, but his family will definitely plant with the Lin family. The potatoes in his own field have been harvested in the past few days, and the cellar is full.
When we plant the next crop, by winter not only will the harvest be enough for our family to eat, but we can also sell the surplus to the Lin family to earn more income and have a good New Year.
If these people don't make progress, then even if he becomes the head of Qingxi Village, there's nothing he can do. He can't force them. It's their own choice anyway, so they have to bear the consequences if they go hungry.
"Also, my original proposal was to charge you two cents per pound for the potato seeds, but the Lin family took the initiative to reduce the price by half and even taught you how to plant them. What the hell, you guys, ah!"
The village head sighed deeply, and that was all he had to say.
The people in the yard looked at each other. The few people who had shouted the loudest suddenly blushed. They didn't expect things to turn out like this.
But the words had already been said, and I couldn't bring myself to say it now. I could only stand there awkwardly, scratching my head sheepishly.
"Uncle Fang, I agree with this."
Suddenly someone in the silent yard raised his hand and said something softly.
"I agree. The Lin family is a good family. We were indeed too suspicious before. I would be willing to pay even two cents."
The fields of everyone in Qingxi Village have been very busy these days. Everyone has seen the potato harvest. The twelve households that followed the Lin family in growing potatoes are simply overjoyed every day.
They were the only ones who felt uncomfortable. These ten or twenty cents were nothing compared to the potato harvest in the fields.
All in all, they got the better deal.
If you think about it carefully, what the headman said is absolutely correct.
If the Lin family hadn't considered that they were from the same village as theirs, they wouldn't have been able to have such a good thing. To be honest, they were the ones who got the biggest advantage. How could they be so ungrateful?
"That's right, I agree."
"I do."
There were voices coming one after another in the yard, and the expression on the head of the village finally eased a little.
Fortunately, these people are not that stupid and can still be saved!
The head of the village raised his head and slowly looked around at the people in the yard with a sharp gaze. Finally, his eyes stopped in front of the people standing in the front, who were the ones who had shouted the loudest just now.
The few people who had just been there were being stared at by the head of the village. They suddenly felt guilty and raised their hands and shouted, "We are willing too!"
Everyone else agreed. If they didn't agree, then in the entire Qingxi Village, only these few families would not plant crops. In the winter, every family would have enough to eat, but only these few families would be left without enough food or warm clothes.
What the headman said just now does make some sense. These ten cents are really nothing. Planting potatoes is the most important thing now.
The village head was relieved when he saw that everyone looked normal.
Fortunately, these people were willing to listen to advice, so his efforts were worth it. If they still didn't come to his senses, he would have been helpless.
This matter has finally been confirmed. We will wait until the next planting time to go to the Lin family to get potato seeds, and then learn how to plant them with Lin Wenshan.
After everyone in the yard had left, the village head breathed a sigh of relief and turned back into the house.
Lin Yunchu didn't know about these things. Anyway, the Lin family had said and done everything they should have said and done. It just depended on whether the villagers were willing. If they were not willing, she would not force them.
She now stays in the workshop every day. The weather has been good these days, and the first batch of potato flour was ready in a few days.
It just so happened that Lin Changshun and Lin Changan caught a lot of small fish in the river. Thinking of Xue Jingyao's appearance last time, she suddenly laughed.
Lin Yunchu packed up the dried potato flour and counted the quantity. He planned to go back and fry some small fish. He would deliver the potato flour to Yipintang tomorrow and also give some snacks to Xue Jingyao as a thank you for Xue Jingran's help.
Lin's mother and Pan Xiuxiu knew Lin Yunchu's plan and agreed with it.
Seeing that there were still quite a few small fish in the stone tank, the two washed their hands and went to the yard to help. Within half an hour, they had all been fried.
Lin Yunchu found a food box and filled it up with food until it was full.
The next day.
The Lin family's ox cart was filled to the brim with mushrooms picked from the mountains and potato flour that had been counted yesterday.
Lin Yunchu carried the food box and sat in the front of the ox cart with Lin Changting, shaking all the way to the town.
As soon as the ox cart stopped in front of Yipin Pavilion, a waiter came running out, greeted the two of them with a smile, and began to move the things on the ox cart into the restaurant.
I had already told Xue Jingran and Manager Zhou about this matter before, and I think they also received the instructions.
Lin Yunchu walked inside with the lunch box.
"Ms. Lin, you're finally here. Please go sit in the inner room for a while. The boss will be here soon."
Xue Jingran calculated the time and came to the restaurant every day for the past two days to wait for Lin Yunchu, just to try the first batch of potato flour delivered.
Lin Yunchu curled the corners of his mouth, smiled without saying a word, and nodded to Manager Zhou. Seeing that Manager Zhou still had things to do, he didn't stay here for long and walked into the inner room.
He secretly thought to himself that since Xue Jingran would be coming later, he could just take the fried fish that he brought for Xue Jingyao back to her, so he wouldn't have to make an extra trip.
Later, when I finish my work at the restaurant, I can go to the market to see how my uncle and aunt’s bun stall is doing.
I have been busy at home these days and have not had time to take care of the Xie family's affairs. Today I have some free time, so I will go over to see them. When I go back, I will tell Mr. and Mrs. Lin about their recent situation so that they can feel more at ease.
After a while, Lin Changting finished his work outside and came in. He sat aside and breathed slightly.
Lin Yunchu quickly stood up and poured a cup of tea in front of Lin Changting. These days, his elder brother had to work in his own fields, pick mushrooms in the mountains, and run to the town. He was really tired.
