When Xu Xingchen returned home, Jun Haoyue also came back, bringing back news of the caravan.
The caravan will try it out before deciding whether to cooperate.
This answer was within Xu Xingchen's expectations, so she was very calm: "Just give it a try. The insecticide is quite effective anyway. It doesn't matter how many times you try it."
What Jun Haoyue admired most was her confidence, and for a moment he curled the corners of his lips.
After a few words, the two sat down and began to mix the potion according to the proportion again.
Because Xu Xingchen thought insecticide would be popular.
Sure enough, on the third day, a caravan knocked on her door. It was a slightly plump, smiling middle-aged man, and judging by his appearance, he seemed to come from a well-off family. Xu Xingchen didn't immediately realize who he was looking for. "Wrong place?"
The middle-aged man shook his head: "No, I'm here to see Mrs. Xu."
After the introduction, Xu Xingchen learned the other party's identity.
It turned out that he was the leader of the caravan, named Chen Jia. He discovered a business opportunity when he was trying out insecticide two days ago, so he came to me specially.
As Chen Jia spoke, he put something on the table.
Xu Xingchen looked closely and saw that it was a silver note worth one thousand taels. It seemed that in all the years since her rebirth, all the money she had come into contact with had never even reached a thousand taels.
She couldn't help but take another look, and this little action was seen clearly by Chen Jia.
He sneered secretly. Sure enough, people from the village had a relatively low standard! Look, a silver note made Xu Xingchen unable to move his eyes.
If I add a little more to the price, then the formula for the insecticide can be...
Thinking about the prospects after the buyout, Chen Jia felt like he was standing on a light cloud.
"Madam Xu, I'll be honest. Although I'm a businessman, I care deeply about my fellow villagers. After all, I too came from poverty! Your insecticide is incredibly effective. Just a little bit can get rid of many pests. It's exactly what the common people need! I figured you wouldn't be able to supply the entire supply, so I wanted to help you. Once I get this insecticide through my hands, it'll be sold far and wide. Then, with increased grain production, every household will have enough. Madam Xu, you'll be a true saint."
He looked righteous, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.
Unfortunately, the next moment, Xu Xingchen's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.
"Sorry, I don't sell this recipe."
Chen Jia couldn't believe his ears. "Mrs. Xu, look here! This is a silver note worth one thousand taels. Don't you want to make a lot of money?"
Xu Xingchen rolled his eyes to show that he was not blind.
"I also want to make money, but only by cooperating with caravans."
After saying that, she glanced towards Jun Haoyue.
The latter nodded slightly at her. At that moment, Xu Xingchen felt as if she was affirmed, and the depression she felt when watching the one thousand taels of silver fly away was swept away.
On the contrary, Chen Jia on the opposite side was a little annoyed. He didn't want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune!
Finally, he gritted his teeth, added more money, and offered various conditions.
Xu Xingchen was finally annoyed by what he said.
"Boss Chen, don't you understand? I've clearly rejected you. We're on the verge of a partnership, and you're unwilling to go that route. Why are you still pestering me?"
Chen Jia immediately said with a bitter face: "The conditions I offer are already very good... Hey, hey, what are you doing!"
Before he could finish his words, he saw a person standing in front of him.
It was Jun Haoyue with a cold face. He frowned and said one word: "Get lost."
Facing Xu Xingchen, Chen Jia dared to act like a spoiled child, but he didn't dare to do that to Jun Haoyue.
This guy just has the word "ruthless" written all over his face.
He shuddered and ran out of the house as fast as he could.
Xu Xingchen retracted his gaze and sighed, "One thousand taels of silver just flew away like that. Thinking about it, it really hurts a little bit."
Jun Haoyue walked up to her and said, "Then I'll go get him back?"
"That's not necessary. I have other plans." Xu Xingchen was calculating in his mind. "The insecticide can be sold to the caravan, but the formula can't be shared. I plan to tell the rest of the village about it, and then the whole village can make insecticide together and sell it for money, so that we can all achieve common prosperity. What do you think of this idea?"
Jun Haoyue shook his head. "It's difficult. Human greed is unimaginable. If you tell them the formula, I'm afraid it will be sold exclusively to someone else tomorrow."
Not all villagers in Sanwan Village are like Xu Xingchen.
“Knock, knock, knock.”
There was a sudden knock on the door, followed by Aunt Wang's voice: "Is anyone home?"
Xu Xingchen didn't want to deal with her, so he naturally didn't answer, and covered Jun Haoyue's mouth by the way.
"Strange, why is there no one here?"
Aunt Wang outside the door looked annoyed. "I just saw someone coming out of their house. Could he have gone to the fields? No, I have to go over and take a look."
Zhang Tiansheng yawned and said sleepily, "Mom, what are you looking for her for?"
"What else can we do? Save the crops, of course!"
Aunt Wang also used some of the so-called insecticide prepared by Zhang Xiaochun that day. As a result, the next day, the condition of her crops was bad, and today a large area of them has withered.
Aunt Wang had already given up hope, but when she passed by today, she saw that Zhang Xiaochun's crops were doing better...
When Aunt Wang learned that it was Chen Pi who got the nutrient solution from Xu Xingchen, she immediately ran over to beg for it.
Too bad I didn’t see anyone!
Aunt Wang led Zhang Tiansheng around the grounds for a while, but when they didn't see Xu Xingchen and Jun Haoyue, they turned back. This time, they arrived at the perfect time. Xu Xingchen happened to be outside basking in the sun. When their eyes met, Aunt Wang rushed forward and said, "Xingchen, you're home! I thought you were out."
Xu Xingchen really couldn't get used to Aunt Wang greeting people like this.
But when he thought about what happened to Jun Haoyue's family that day, he became angry again.
She said unhappily, "Just say what you want to say."
Aunt Wang turned to look at her son, then lowered her head and spoke, "Xingchen, I've come here today to apologize to you for all the mistakes I made in the past! Alas, I was confused and didn't understand what was going on, so I offended you. I hope you'll forgive me for being from the same village as us."
She apologized sincerely and pulled Zhang Tiansheng next to her to bow with her.
Seeing this, Xu Xingchen immediately understood: "You want me to save the crops too?"
Aunt Wang's eyes lit up.
Before she could say anything, Xu Xingchen interrupted her again: "I'm sorry, I really don't have the antidote. I really can't save your crops. Please ask someone else for help."
After saying that, she pushed the deceived Aunt Wang and Zhang Tiansheng out the door.
