The result of every household in Lingtai County growing vegetables is that vegetable prices are falling day by day.

It took only two months for the price to go from being as valuable as gold to being only four or five times as valuable as in the non-cold season.

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, food is getting cheaper and cheaper.

Those families who were hoping to sell their vegetables at a high price were so anxious that they had blisters on their mouths.

In order to earn a few more cents, they would try to walk as far away as possible.

But how far can it be?

In the end, we can only watch the vegetable prices drop day by day.

Zhu Qing also had blisters all over his mouth. His lips were swollen and there was a dark circle under his eyes.

Several times when Zhu Qing saw Xu Yun, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Xu Yun pretended not to see it.

She is here to make achievements, not to be a housekeeper.

If you try to do everything, you will end up exhausted.

But this matter was destined not to pass so quietly. Therefore, as Xu Yun expected, the village chiefs came to the government office that day.

He said he had something to discuss with Xu Yun.

When Xu Yun heard the report from the doorman, he almost immediately guessed what it was about.

Anyway, it will never be a happy event.

If it was a happy event, they wouldn't have made an appointment to come together like this, as if to call someone to task.

Xu Yun did not avoid it either.

After putting on his outer coat, Xu Yun went from his study to the living room to meet them.

Since it was not an official matter, Xu Yun did not wear official uniform.

Just wear casual clothes.

As soon as Xu Yun walked over, all the village heads stood up and bowed to him.

Looking at the village heads with gray beards and wrinkled faces, Xu Yun quickly reached out and helped them up: "Sit down, sit down, and talk about what you want to say."

However, the village heads had no intention of sitting down first, and only let Xu Yun sit down.

Xu Yun knew that if he didn't sit down, they would never sit down either, so he didn't refuse and sat down directly.

When the village heads were all seated, Xu Yun smiled and said, "You all said you wanted to discuss something with me. What is it?"

The village heads looked at each other, and finally the oldest one spoke up: "It's about the vegetables."

Xu Yun smiled at the elder and said the name of the village he was in charge of: "You are Chen Lizheng, who is in charge of Beihegou Village and Yangjiao Village."

Chen Lizheng was a little flattered for a moment: "Yes. I am Chen Zhengyin. I am in charge of Beihegou Village and Yangjiao Village."

Seeing that he remembered correctly, Xu Yun smiled and said, "What's wrong with Qingcai?"

Chen Lizheng hesitated for a moment, put his hands in his pockets a little embarrassedly, and then said: "The price of vegetables is getting lower and lower. The vegetables are stored and cannot be sold. County Magistrate Xu, please think of a solution--"

Xu Yun's smile did not change at all, and he only asked back: "What do you want me to think of?"

Chen Lizheng didn't know what to say and his old face turned red with embarrassment.

However, Xu Yun kept looking at Chen Lizheng with a gentle smile, waiting patiently for his answer - even though he knew he couldn't answer.

Chen Lizheng was finally forced to speak, but his voice was so soft that it seemed as if he was holding it in his mouth: "Can you help sell some vegetables?"

Xu Yun heard it, but pretended not to hear it clearly: "Ah? What did you say? I didn't quite hear it."

But Chen Li was too embarrassed to say this anymore.

Although he is old, he still needs to save face!

Seeing that Chen Lizheng was unable to speak, a young Lizheng spoke up anxiously: "Xu County Magistrate, you see, you have already bought the skins and got such a good price. It is most appropriate for you to buy these vegetables! Just buy them at the price of a month ago--"

Xu Yun laughed when he heard this, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he said, "You are Lu Lizheng of Lujia Village and Mihe Village, right?"

Lu Lizheng didn't expect that he would be remembered so clearly. He was stunned for a moment before nodding: "I am."

This interruption broke Lu Lizheng's urgency and he couldn't continue no matter what.

He wanted to say a few more words, but he was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Xu Yun brought the topic back to the topic: "You all want me to harvest vegetables?"

Lu Lizheng didn't dare to look into Xu Yun's eyes. He nodded, avoiding Xu Yun's gaze, and his voice unconsciously became much lighter: "Yes."

Xu Yun then looked at other village heads.

The others also avoided Xu Yun's gaze at the same time, but also responded a few times.

Some people even said dryly: "You can also make money this way, it's a win-win situation--"

Xu Yun sighed.

This silence silenced those who wanted to say something nice.

For a moment, the room was silent.

The two "bibo" sounds coming from the charcoal basin seemed particularly clear.

Xu Yun sighed again and asked seriously, "But what have I done that failed to satisfy everyone, so that everyone is forcing me to lose everything?"

These words were quite strong and many people stood up.

Looking at these elders who were much older than himself, Xu Yun did not move and continued to look at them.

Chen Lizheng's old face was still red: "Xu County Magistrate, how can you say that? We can't even respect you enough..."

"Li Zheng Chen, do you want to earn this money?" Xu Yun asked with a smile, his tone as gentle as usual.

Chen Lizheng froze.

Xu Yun then asked the others: "Li Zheng Lu? Li Zheng Wang? Li Zheng Zhou? Do you want to make this money?"

No one answered.

Xu Yun looked at these people and still smiled: "You see, you also know that this is a losing business."

Someone said: "We don't have any way. You know a lot of noble people in Beiping City——"

Xu Yun smiled and said calmly, "The vegetables grown by the farmers in Beiping City with great effort cannot be sold at a high price. Families that can still make a decent living can still buy some vegetables to eat during the New Year if they grit their teeth."

After a pause, Xu Yun continued, "But you want me to buy the vegetables at the price a month ago and sell them to Beiping City. Not only can I not sell them, but I also have to pay for the shipping fee - you are bankrupting me, what else can you do?"

No one said a word.

Xu Yun didn't say anything either.

If she didn't say anything, these people would have to retreat.

The atmosphere became increasingly awkward.

Finally, Chen Lizheng said angrily: "It's OK to buy it at the current price..."

Someone immediately glared at Chen Lizheng, signaling him to stop talking.

Xu Yun saw all of this.

Then he couldn't help laughing: "Chen Lizheng, I'm afraid you can only be the boss of your family. The villagers all know how expensive the vegetables were two months ago. That's why they were reluctant to sell them at a low price, and they were reluctant to eat them. In the end, the vegetables grew thin and ugly, and they couldn't sell them at a high price anymore."

"They cry all day long and feel that they are unlucky—"

"They felt that I had cheated them by asking them to grow vegetables but not selling them—"

This statement was so blunt that none of the village heads could open their mouths.

This is just like what I saw with my own eyes.
