Chapter 36
No matter how different the people in the village are, they still celebrate the New Year in harmony. Even under the leadership of the village chief, there are even people who come to visit us to pay New Year greetings.
When they came, Ming's mother received them politely. There was no way to inquire about the situation of the Ming family!
Over time, everyone came to know that the Ming family was not as easy to bully as before. Not only did the number of people come to visit less, they at least became polite to Ming's mother.
"Mom, I remember that there are many people in the village who grow vegetables at home. Shopkeeper Xu said that he wants our family to supply him with vegetables. What we have at home is simply not enough for them to fill their teeth. It is better to collect some in the village.
Sell them together."
It's great to make a fortune alone in silence, but no one will notice it. Now everyone in the village knows that the Ming family has done business. Although there is nothing unjustifiable in the village, the village chief said something very important.
Yes, we are all fellow villagers. If we are closer, our father and mother will have someone to talk to in the future.
Even if the other party only comes here for profit, at least Ming's father and mother don't have to be busy with things like one-third of an acre of land at home every day, and they don't even have anyone to talk to.
Although they didn't say anything, Mingxiu always felt uncomfortable watching them.
Originally, Ming's mother was thinking about helping the village if she could, but now that Mingxiu said this, what else could she disagree with?
But even if you want to help others, you can't let yourself suffer.
"Of course it's good, but what price do you plan to charge?"
If it is low, the villagers will naturally be unhappy, but if it is high, their family will also suffer.
Shopkeeper Xu is a shrewd man. If the quantity increases, he will naturally lower the price.
My family is not doing well right now, but it would be better if I could make some money.
"We'll charge 20% less than the market price. It depends on the situation." Mingxiu will never lose money to himself.
Usually, some people in the village sell their excess rice and noodles to grain and oil shops in the town. Generally, they charge 70% of the market price. Mingxiu's place is only 20% lower, and the vegetables can't be put in as much as the rice and noodles. It's already very expensive.
Reasonable price.
"Of course it's good, but if it's like this, there won't be many people willing to sell it to us."
"No more, no more, we just need to spread the word. If they want to sell to us, as long as the quality is not bad, we will accept it. If they don't want to, then that's fine."
Mingxiu knew that after her family made money, some people might want to set up a stall in the town, but where is it so easy to set up a stall in the town?
The secret loss she suffered last time made her realize that this time was far less fair than in later generations, and even if she wanted to start a small business, it would not be easy.
This is why when Shopkeeper Xu offered to cooperate with her at the original price, even though Mingxiu didn't like Shopkeeper Xu, she still agreed.
It’s not for anything else, just to save worry and trouble.
Even if she earns less, she still admits it!
In the blink of an eye, it's the 15th day of the month, and after the excitement of the Lantern Festival, the town's engineering team also begins to take over work.
Ming's father inquired about a relatively practical foreman and contracted out the construction of his own house.
Although Hengbao was given to the engineering team, not all of them had to take charge of it themselves. Naturally, they still had to recruit people from the village to help.
Ming's father knew that he was soft-spoken, so he didn't want to recruit people himself. Instead, he left everything to the foreman, and he just paid the money later.
"I wonder how long it will take to build it?"
The foreman did not look down upon Mingxiu because she was a woman. "The soil has not completely thawed yet. I estimate that it will take a little longer to dig the foundation. It will be completed in about one and a half months. Don't worry."
Originally, it would be better to build a house after the beginning of spring, when all the soil has melted away, but spring is busy at that time, and it is not easy to find helpers, so Mingxiu chose to build a house after the new year, when the coldest period has passed.
But the temperature has not returned.
Although it takes a long time and costs a lot at this time, it can be done as soon as possible and saves trouble.
The village chief came with a smile on his face, "Brother Ming, don't worry, I will definitely have someone sort out your family's affairs before we go to spring plowing!"
Years ago, many people agreed to pay a price of 100 yuan to learn how to open land.
Although it is not necessary to buy fertilizer in the town to open land now as before, but with more land, there are more places to spend money in the first place. If you can make a fortune in the Ming family, after this year's harvest, the village will probably have to
There are a few more wealthy households.
Even the village chief can get a lot of benefits for himself, so how can he not do his best?
The village chief looked at Mingxiu from the corner of his eye and sighed in his heart. He didn't know what kind of incense the Ming family burned. Ever since Mingxiu came to Qingming, their lives have been getting better and better day by day. If there is no reason for this,
He didn't believe it.
Is it true, as the old man said, that the Ming family is kind, so their luck is particularly good?
In order to make money to make their family better off, the people who worked for the Ming family worked hard. They would not slip up and slip up at this time. The Ming family was kind and offered generous prices. More importantly, they kept an eye on the project.
It was not the Ming family but the foreman invited from outside.
Mingxiu only dealt with the foreman. If anyone was lazy or slippery, he would naturally go to the foreman and ask him to take care of those who came to help.
Although they are fellow villagers, they have no friendship with the foreman. Because of the generous wages, there are many people waiting to come to work. They are not worried about leaving out a few lazy and slippery people and no one will work.
In order to keep their lucrative jobs, everyone worked hard, and in just half a month, the prototype of a beautiful blue brick house was built.
It was a courtyard enclosed around the original place of Ming's family. Ming's father went to discuss with the village chief and got it at a low price.
In fact, this place was originally the homestead of the Ming family, but because Ming's father was honest, he spent money to buy it out.
Mingxiu didn't have much objection to this, so he spent a small amount of money to buy it out, so that even if someone wanted to talk in the future, they would have no excuse.
She didn't want to save money and bring trouble to her family.
Although there may not necessarily be such people, it is important to be on guard against others. For the sake of peace and stability, it is not a bad thing to be careful.
Regarding the matter of collecting vegetables, Ming's mother came forward and told the village chief. Naturally, the village chief was happy to provide the villagers with a new income. He directly agreed and took the lead in saying that any vegetables that he could not finish in the future would be sold to Ming.
Home.
On the other side of shopkeeper Xu, Mingxiu and Xie Zhan naturally came forward to talk.
"I finally looked forward to having you here. Why are there so many of you today?"
Shopkeeper Xu is waiting for Mingxiu to come to her door. She always brings some fresh and delicious vegetables. Naturally, shopkeepers like this kind of supplier.
