Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

But as luck would have it, when they just arrived at Uncle Wang's house, the gate was closed. So was the gate of Uncle Liu's house next door. So Xu Yuan had to wait until later and go to Chen Biyun's house first.

At this time, Chen Dafu was outside the yard of his home repairing some broken things sent by villagers. Some of them were broken here and some were broken there, and he did not forget to look at the gate from time to time.

The villagers were reluctant to throw them away, and seeing that Chen Dafu was skilled in carpentry, he would definitely be able to fix them, so whenever there was a problem with any tool at home, they would come to him.

Chen Dafu said that the more the better. After all, this is also a profitable business. Most people in the village will give some copper coins, and if not, they will bring some things in exchange.

Yesterday, I asked my daughter to go to Xuyuan's house to ask the girl how to grow peppers. After all, I spend most of my time doing carpentry, and the work in the fields is all up to her mother. Her mother has never grown peppers before, and she is afraid of wasting these precious pepper seeds. She has to hurry up, as this is all money.

I didn't expect that I would get a business deal. I don't know what ideas the girl who made a wish has. I'm very curious.

"Dad, what are you doing? Why are you so careless when working? What if you hit your hand?" Chen Biyun just walked out of the house and saw Chen Dagui looking at the gate from time to time, knocking on it with a wooden hammer in his hand.

"Yun'er, it's okay. Dad knows everything."

"Have you cleaned up the house? Make some tea and take out some of the dried fruits we bought last time. We still have to entertain that girl Xuyuan when she comes. Where's your mother?"

It just so happened that the wasteland that had been reclaimed had not yet been planted, so it came in handy. Chen Dafu re-harrowed the ground with a plow in the morning, and Qiu Chunfen followed behind and scattered pepper seeds on the ground. After all, they had to wait for the pepper seedlings to grow out before transplanting them, so there was not much work to do, and they finished it quickly and came back.

The sun was still shining for a while, and when Chen Biyun came to the field with water, the two of them had already finished their work.

Only now did Chen Dafu have time to do carpentry at home, but Qiu Chunfen had disappeared.

"My mother went up the mountain with some aunts from the village. Come back soon."

Oh, this woman is just too idle and can't sit still. I haven't seen those guys come here to help, but she still gossips a lot.

Chen Dafu had nothing to say.

Chen Biyun saw her father cursing again and shook her head. The yard was also a mess and she could only clear a path for walking.

When Xu Yuan was about to reach Chen Biyun's house, he saw several middle-aged women walking towards him from afar. Xu Yuan quickly stopped and recognized several familiar faces in the group, a group of six people.

My god, this is the most gossipy team of aunts in the village.

Even the chickens in the village would have to talk about them when they passed by them. There was an aunt who really liked to act as a matchmaker for men and women of marriageable age in the village, but she only promoted her own daughter. Xu Yuan had heard many people mention this about He Guozi. After all, they and Gu Qingming often agreed to go to some place in the village to play, and they would often meet those aunts in the places they often went to.

There is also the lady walking in the front left. What’s her name? It seems to be Sun Bagui. She was the one who left the most impression on me when I came to sign the Yazi document last time.

He kept asking Xu Yuan if he could get a higher price, or if he could take it to the county town to buy it. He asked this and that, but he just didn't remember anything, which almost made Xu Yuan angry. He just said, "If you can't accept it, don't sign the agreement." Only then did he give up a little.

Moreover, the first time the sprouts were delivered, they were carried in wooden buckets. When Xuyuan took out the sprouts with water from the bucket, he was very angry. After all, he had been very kind before. The sprouts delivered could not have water in them. A little bit of water was fine, but it was definitely not acceptable for the sprouts to drip down.

I'm not a sucker.

So we warned them once, but the second time they delivered less water than the first time, a lot of it was spoiled.

So Xu Yuan decided not to accept her sprouts at that time, and said that three times the limit would not happen. He also said that if the same thing happened again next time, he would not accept her sprouts. He also asked for compensation. After all, it was written clearly on the receipt. The aunt also knew that she was in the wrong and said that she would pay attention next time.

So the next few times, the sprouts were delivered in a quiet and proper manner. However, the one who came later was not that auntie, but a girl, probably her daughter. She was quiet and did her job well.

Xu Yuan pondered for a moment and decided to go back first. Judging from the direction the group of people were heading, they would confront him. He really didn't want to confront these people, and there were six of them at that, so he decided to retreat.

He came with brisk steps and left in a hurry. There was a fork here. After walking for a while, he could go to Aunt Li's house. Xu Yuan planned to go to Aunt Li's house first to talk about the sweet potatoes.

"Has anyone else received pepper seeds?" a short and fat lady suddenly asked. Then three pairs of eyes looked at the lady who asked the question at the same time, "Didn't you get any, too?"

Sun Bagui and the other two aunts asked the question at the same time.

"No, if you didn't get any chili seeds, then why did you follow me?" Zhang Xiamei was puzzled, and then she realized, "Don't try to take advantage of me. I didn't get many chili seeds. Who told you to hesitate and not make a decision earlier? The wish was originally stated that the number was limited and it was first come first served."

"Oh, I was just a little late. I didn't make it in time. So, dear sister, I don't want much, just three or four will do." The short and fat aunt was very regretful. Why didn't she make it in time? It was all because of the child's father who didn't take care of the sprouts in time. There were only a few good sprouts. How could she possibly give them away? Isn't this a joke? Even if she took them, it wouldn't be enough to fill her teeth.

So naturally I didn't go to deliver the sprouts that day, and thus missed the news. I didn't know about it until the next day. Unexpectedly, the pepper seeds that Xu Yuan had given out that evening had almost been given out. When I went to his house to ask if there were any more, Xu Yuan was not at home, and it was Xu Zhi who entertained her, and he said that there were no more.

You can only wait until the peppers in your own vegetable garden bear fruit.

Xu Yuan actually still has some left, and there must be some wild peppers as well, but Xu Yuan doesn't want them to feel that they should keep them. He needs to have a sense of urgency so that they will obey.

We need to make them feel that these seeds are hard-earned, so they will take better care of them. After all, these seeds are carefully selected one by one, and it takes a lot of effort.

Zhang Xiamei heard the aunt say this and immediately retorted: "Give you back three or four seeds? A pepper seed is also precious, okay? Didn't you hear Xuyuan say that a pepper seedling can produce many fruits? If I give you the money I'm short of, will you give me the money?"

The short and fat lady thought for a while and said, "How about this? When the peppers grow well, I'll take the money I earn from selling them and we split it 30% to 70%, and you take the bigger share.
