Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

"Village chief, you are here, please take a seat!" Shen Ping greeted warmly.

He turned to Carpenter Li and said, "Little Li, is the stuff I asked Dadong to deliver just now not enough?"

“No no~”

Carpenter Li saw Shen Ping's confusion and said to her, "Aunt Dachun, can you please have a word with me?"

Seeing Carpenter Li acting mysteriously, Shen Ping was also somewhat puzzled. She quickly asked someone to serve tea to the village chief, and then Shen Ping and Carpenter Lin walked to the front yard.

"Tell me what you want to say. I have something to discuss with the village chief later!" Shen Ping reminded.

"It's like this~" Carpenter Li didn't hide anything anymore and went straight to the point, stating the purpose of this trip directly.

"Hey! It's interesting!"

After listening to what Carpenter Li said, Shen Ping also laughed.

Not to mention Carpenter Li, even she herself didn't expect that it could be done this way. This matter was originally very simple, but the few of them complicated it.

"Well, since you asked, I'll give you a friendly price, 18 taels of silver for the set." Shen Ping looked generous.

"Aunt Dachun, can it be cheaper?" Carpenter Li asked tentatively.

This is 30 taels of silver less than the original 12 taels of silver, but he still hopes it can be cheaper.

Shen Ping shook her head: "It can't be any less!"

Finally, Carpenter Li left happily. The price was set at 18 taels of silver. He still decided to buy one set and just took one from the 10 sets.

"I'm so sorry, Village Chief, to have kept you waiting for so long!" Shen Ping said embarrassedly.

"It's okay!" The village chief smiled and waved his hand: "I don't have anything else to do anyway."

Nowadays, Dachun Niang is not the same as before. It is rare that she asked me to come here for something. I guess this matter must be very important.

Besides, she is a Yu'an person now, and she said she had something to discuss with me, which was considered giving me enough face.

"Village chief, come with me, I want to show you something good!" Shen Ping said mysteriously and walked out.

The village chief didn't know what Shen Ping was up to, but he followed her out anyway.

Shen Ping came to the side of the yard, pointed at something in the corner, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, look, this is the rice thresher I made. It will come in handy when the time comes."

"Rice thresher?" The village chief was skeptical: "Can this thing thresher rice?"

"Madam, this is what you wanted!" Dadong came over from the backyard with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

"Look, village chief~" Shen Ping asked Dadong to demonstrate.

Dadong stepped on the thresher, and the drum started to rotate, making a rumbling sound. Then he placed the bouquet in his hand on the drum, and the flowers and leaves immediately separated and fell into the wooden barrel. The bouquet in Dadong's hand was left with only bare branches.

"This is amazing!"

The village chief also became excited.

Then, Dadong took other things to experiment, and the results were pretty good.

"Mother Dachun, your thing is really great. It saves me a lot of effort." The village chief said excitedly.

"Village chief, the rice yield per mu will be more than 1000 kilograms. It is not practical to rely solely on manual threshing. My thresher only costs 30 taels of silver."

"30 taels of silver!" The village chief was shocked. He thought the machine was free for all villagers to use, otherwise why would they call him over?

Shen Ping saw through the village chief's thoughts and her lips twitched. She had already given so many pesticides to everyone for free, and these pesticides were worth more than 100 taels of silver, but he didn't say anything. Now he actually wanted to give this thing for free.

"Village chief, let me do the math for you..." Shen Ping was not polite and did the math for the village chief, including pesticides, sprayers, and what the consequences would be if the insects were not killed in time.

She didn't want to be petty, but she had done so much, but the village chief didn't think it was a big deal and even thought it was what he should do, so she had to say something.

After hearing Shen Ping's words, the village chief's face turned red and white.

Indeed, Dachun Niang had just solved the problem of insect pests and provided so much pesticide for free, which solved the urgent problem and saved the rice.

And it's not just the mountain village, there's also Dahe Village and Niugu Village. The amount of these potions alone is not a small amount.

"Village chief, I asked you to come here today because I want you to discuss with everyone and get everyone to contribute money to buy a thresher like this. Then we can all use it together, which will be more efficient." Shen Ping explained.

"Besides, there are fifty or sixty households in Kaoshan Village. For 30 taels of silver, each household only needs to pay a few hundred coins. From now on, this thresher will belong to everyone, saving a lot of labor."

After hearing what Shen Ping said, the village chief thought it was feasible. The 30 taels of silver was indeed not much if shared equally among all the villagers. The key was that this thing could be used for a long time in the future.

"it is good!"

The village chief nodded and said, "I will gather everyone together immediately and discuss it with everyone!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, village chief. As you know, the rice harvest is almost here, and this thing will come in handy then. Actually, I'm not trying to make money from you, I just want to make things convenient for you."

"Okay, I'll go right away!" The village chief left in a hurry.

After returning, the village chief asked his son to immediately ring the gong and every household went to the ancestral hall to hold a meeting to discuss the purchase of a rice thresher.

When everyone heard this term for the first time, they all felt it was new and new. After listening to the village chief’s introduction to this thing, everyone felt skeptical.

The village chief sent a few strong young men to Shenping to move the device out and demonstrated it to everyone on the spot.

Everyone thought it was good, but when they heard the price, they all said it was too expensive. Everyone had different opinions.

"We don't grow much rice. If I use this money to buy food, I can buy a lot of food."

Some people don't think so: "This thing is durable and can be used for decades. If you calculate it this way, the money spent is not in vain. Besides, if the yield of this high-yield rice is good, then this thing will come in handy."

"Yes, I think so too!"

Finally, after voting, the vast majority of people agreed to make a joint investment to purchase it. Only a small number of people were unwilling to pay, and Liao was one of them.

The village chief calculated that if dozens of households in the village contributed together, each household would have to pay 500 coins, and she couldn't bear to spend the money.

"Think about it carefully. Whoever is unwilling to pay the money will not be able to use this thing. Don't cry when the time comes." The village chief gave them a shot of prevention.

"We can just use our hands, no need for this thing!" Liao said loudly.

Finally, the village chief picked up the notebook, counted the total number of households that agreed to purchase, and then collected the money. Whoever was willing to pay could use the machine at that time.

Finally, the village chief managed to collect 30 taels of silver and gave the silver to Shen Ping. As for the thresher, he gave it to him for safekeeping.
