Leisurely Daily [System]

It has been a month since the last Xueyanghua harvest, and the village ushered in the second picking.

The first time is raw, the second time is cooked.The villagers put away the flowers more quickly this time, and they lined up in the open space outside the noodle workshop early.

When the villagers brought the flowers over one after another, Jiang Fan followed the Hong brothers to lift the stones.When the villagers were almost here, Jiang Fan finished his training, wiped off his sweat, and prepared to start harvesting flowers.

At this moment, he saw an old couple carrying a basket. At first, Jiang Fan thought that there was another basket in their house, but he saw the old couple put down the basket and stood still. Line up like everyone else in the village to hand in flowers.

Jiang Fan raised his eyebrows. There were two baskets in other people's houses, and the flowers were still sprouting. His house had only one basket, but he couldn't even see the flowers in it.

Jiang Fan hooked the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, and began to collect flowers, with Zhang Shumo and the Hong family boy helping him.

There were more than [-] households, some left after paying the flowers and taking the money, while others stayed where they were, wanting to see how much money the others had taken.So when it was the turn of the old couple at the end, besides Jiang Fan and the others, there were quite a few onlookers in the open space.

"Old Uncle Zhang, did your family collect so much this time?"

Everyone looked at them with deep meaning in their eyes.

Old Uncle Zhang looked embarrassed, nodded casually, and did not speak.

Old Aunt Zhang's face was neither red nor out of breath, but her heart ached: "The chickens in the family ran out before, and they were fiddled with a lot. This time, I only charged so much."

The Hong family boy weighed and reported: "23 catties."

Jiang Fan counted the money to the old couple, seeing that the old couple was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped them, "Uncle and aunt, wait a moment, let Shumo go to your house to have a look."

Old Uncle Zhang's lips trembled, and Aunt Zhang first smiled and said, "Master Jiang, is he going to patch up flower seedlings for my family? No need, they've already grown up, so there's no need for Brother Mo to make this trip."

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look."

Old Aunt Zhang's face was downcast, and she said unhappily, "Master Jiang suspects what my old lady has done?"

Zhang Shumo could see that he didn't want anyone to get angry with his young master, "Auntie, don't get angry, we have a contract first, which stipulates that this flower cannot be used by itself, and it cannot be expanded without permission. This time, the 34 families handed in more than [-] catties of flowers. Your family doesn't even weigh thirty catties, so you'll have to find out what's going on."

There was a flash of panic in old Aunt Zhang's eyes, but she immediately calmed down again and muttered: "It is said that my chickens ate it. The chicken coop was washed away by the heavy rain the night before, and the flowers were pecked badly when I got up in the morning. Today It’s all because of my meticulous care that I can collect so much.”

Jiang Fan listened, but didn't expose it.With the nutrients he put in, the plants can survive given a plot of land. Even if the flowers are overgrown with weeds, the production will not be delayed.

The onlookers also knew that there was something in it, and they all followed Zhang Shumo with their baskets, and went to old Uncle Zhang's house to watch the fun together.

Old Uncle Zhang’s house is at the edge of the village’s private houses. The layout of the house is similar to that of other houses. There are wooden fences on both sides, and the pigsty and chicken coop are on both sides of the yard.

As soon as everyone appeared by the wall of his courtyard, they could see the obvious difference.

The wooden fences on both sides of the house should have been covered with flowering vines at this time, but now they are almost completely empty. Most of the vines on the ground are not as high as a person's knees, and it seems that they have not been planted for a long time. I started to climb the frame, only two out of ten of them occupied a small area of ​​the wooden fence alone, and the vines without flowers swayed in the wind.

It is said that they were pecked and eaten by chickens, but the big guys have never raised chickens, and they all know that chickens eat and peck here and there, and the plants they hustle over look absolutely messy.But these flower seedlings that are less than knee height in front of them don't look like they have been rushed by chickens at all.Of course, old Aunt Zhang said before that the flower seedlings have already grown up, so you can’t see them, but those with sharp eyes can tell at a glance that many of the vines have not had time to grow up, with marks of being cut by sharp tools .

This old Zhang's family cut the flower seedlings with scissors, and they didn't know what to do with them, so this time his family took so little.

Zhang Shumo looked around, but didn't say anything at the moment, and went back to report to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan was playing with two tigers at home, holding the purple fragrant fruit in his hand and hooking the tiger cubs to stand up and eat. He was having a great time playing, but he was not angry when he heard the news, "Greedy is not enough."

He is doing business, not charity.

At noon that day, everyone in the village who came home from work for dinner knew about it, and everyone was waiting for Jiang Fan's reaction.

In the evening, a group of people returning home from work with hoes on their shoulders heard crying and shouting from the old Zhang's house. They all looked at each other and ran over to have a look.

I saw Zhang Shumo standing outside the courtyard of the old Zhang's house. In the courtyard, the two Hong family boys recruited by Jiang's family in Mianzhifang were standing on each side, uprooting snowflakes by the wooden fence and putting them in baskets next to them. In the middle of the night, the old Uncle Zhang stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do, but the old Aunt Zhang was aggressive, so she cried and shouted, and even reached out to grab the two young men.

"You can't pull out my family's flowers! It's said that they were bullied by chickens! It's terrible, the Jiang family boy bullied people!"

The two young men could bear it, their exposed arms were caught bleeding, and they didn't fight back. They just pulled out the flowers with a sullen head. After a while, all the flowers in the yard were pulled out. Old Aunt Zhang, pick up the basket and leave.

Old Aunt Zhang's voice was broken, and she kept yelling that the Jiang family boy disrespected the elders, bullied others, etc., and pointed at Zhang Shumo and scolded Zhang Shumo, saying that everyone was surnamed Zhang, so why didn't she show any sympathy.

When Zhang Shumo heard the scolding like wind, he said expressionlessly: "You cut off the flower seedlings and took them back to your aunt's family to plant. It was old Uncle Zhang and aunt who broke their trust first."

Old Aunt Zhang's mournful howling suddenly got stuck in her throat.

Zhang Shumo looked at old aunt Zhang: "According to the contract, old uncle Zhang and aunt will compensate my young master 100 taels of silver."

Old Aunt Zhang didn't dare to cry anymore, and finally started to get scared. Old Uncle Zhang standing in the yard even shook his body twice, looking like he was about to faint to the ground.

"However, our young master thinks that everyone is from the same village. This time, we will not pursue it. We only plucked the flowers from my uncle and aunt's house. The cooperation contract is over here. In the future, your family will not want to plant flowers from my Jiang family." Zhang Shumo said, telling the rest of the villagers to listen to, "Please don't take chances, my young master is very clear about how many flowers should be in as much land, after all, he cultivated these flowers with his own hands. My young master said If the people in the village don't want to plant flowers with peace of mind, we will take them to other villages to plant them. It is not necessary in the village. If one family defaults next time, the flowers of the remaining 33 families will also be pulled out and cannot be planted again. .”

The onlookers here thought that Jiang Fan's act of calling someone to pull the flowers directly was indeed inappropriate, but they were all shocked by Zhang Shumo's words.

If one person breaks the contract, the whole village can no longer grow flowers?

After all, everyone is from the same village, why is this Jiang family boy so merciless in his actions!Why are you still sitting happily!If they can't continue to grow flowers, they will lose more than one or two taels of silver that month.

This is the second time they have met Jiang Fan's unambiguous words. The first time it was Zhao San's family, and this time it was this old Uncle Zhang's family. Everyone has no doubt that the next time a villager who grows flowers breaks the contract, he will definitely pull them all out. pull.

Everyone, look at me and I look at you. Many people feel guilty.

When Zhang Shumo and the Hong family boy left, the sons of the old Uncle Zhang came back with hoes on their shoulders. They could only smile flatteringly at Zhang Shumo, and then turned their heads to look at their father and mother with a look of resentment.

"I told you it couldn't be done!"

"Mom, you always look towards a few uncles, this is all right, even our family is troubled by them!"

A few sons of the old Zhang family came from behind and scolded Aunt Zhang angrily. Zhang Shumo didn't turn his head, and he could still hear the noise over there when he walked far away.

This matter needs to be investigated clearly, and it is also very easy to inquire.

After Jiaoyan Pavilion opened in the town, everyone in the village knew that Jiaoyan Facial Facial Fat was expensive, and Xueyanghua was the main ingredient of Facial Fat, and the villagers knew it very well.They grow flowers in the village, and a catty of petals costs twelve cents a catty. This price is actually not low, but compared to the price of selling it as flour, it is not enough.

Aunt Zhang’s eldest nephew is a peddler in the neighborhood. He makes a living selling groceries in the streets and alleys every day. When he went to the rouge shop to pick up the goods, he heard the little brother in the shop talk about the beauty of Jiaoyan Pavilion. I also heard that the owner of this store came from Lishan Village, and now the owner is leading dozens of families in their village to plant flowers.

As soon as the eldest nephew heard it, he took it seriously, pretended to be curious and asked a few more questions, and then he knew that his family was married to the eldest aunt's house in Lishan Village, and was also planting flowers. If there are too many, the flowers can be used to make facial fat, which not only has better results, but also makes more money.

Afterwards, the eldest nephew went to Lishan Village to find Aunt Zhang, discussed with her, cut some flower seedlings for him to take back to plant, and when he planted more in the future, he sold them to other businesses or opened his own noodle shop. Isn't it better to make a steady profit than planting flowers for others?

Old Aunt Zhang hesitated at first, after all, there was a contract there, but the eldest nephew advised him that as long as they were careful not to be known, the contract would be nothing but a piece of paper.Aunt Zhang was moved, and persuaded her family to cut off fifty flower seedlings and let her nephew take them away when Xueyanghua started to form buds.

Who would have imagined that this flower seedling would wither and die within a few days after planting it.The eldest nephew said that he had no experience in planting this flower for the first time, so he came to Lianlishan Village again, and asked Aunt Zhang to cut another [-] flower seedlings.

This Xueyang flower is transplanted to other soil, without nutrients, it will definitely not be able to support it.The reason why Jiang Fan decided not to expand the planting area privately was because he didn't want these people to spoil his own flowers.

Of course, the eldest nephew didn't know that if there was no nourishment, he would not be able to feed. He took the flower seedlings back the second time, being very careful, but he planted them to death.Undaunted, the eldest nephew sneaked to Lishan Village for the third time and cut off another fifty plants.

He is not a real face in Lishan Village. After all, he has in-laws in Lishan Village. He used to come to Lishan Village when he sold goods. Many people in the village recognize him. Although most people in the village work on the mountain, there are also some The old man and old lady who are at home.

So Aunt Zhang's flower production is wrong, you can figure it out after a little inquiring.

Many people in the village still sympathize with the old Zhang's family, but when Jiang Fan's words of "one person breaches the contract, the whole village will be wiped out", no one can care about sympathizing with the old Zhang's family, and all stare at the neighbors who are also planting flowers , but if something is wrong, quickly warn them, don't harm them because of your greed.

Those with small thoughts were completely suppressed. They didn't want to be like the old Zhang's family, stealing chickens and losing money, and if they ended up like Zhao San's family being squeezed out by the village, the gain would outweigh the loss.

Since then, without Jiang Fan's further words, the remaining 34 households have consciously supervised each other.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Fan: I've been attacking all the time, didn't you say that soy sauce is back?

Ah Ban: The lord is selling soy sauce while walking, saving money to marry Mr. Wang...
