"Romon, do you think we can do this?"

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Quanshun, the head of Dawan Village, and Lao Zhou left the town hall. When they got to a place with fewer people, Luo Quanshun couldn't help asking.

Today's conversation, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the people in their village have suffered.At the beginning, he planned to resist the pressure to the end, regardless of what people in other villages said, regardless of the attitude of the town government, anyway, he just disagreed, and he believed that this was the case of most Dawan villages. The meaning of the villagers.

But then Romon came over, and after talking about it, he also let go.One is because of the influence of Romon in their village, and the other is because he mainly believes in Romon's judgment. He knows that Romon's brain is better than his own.

"Today is to reach a preliminary opinion. Whether it will be achieved or not, we have to go back to the village and ask everyone what they think."

Luo Meng didn't make all the decisions for their village. He hurried over today, just to give Luo Quanshun a little distraction, and let him stop talking to death.

Luo Meng had heard about villagers from other villages thinking of setting up stalls in their village's morning market before. Regarding their village's resolute xenophobic behavior, if he could persuade him, he would not say much.

I didn't expect that there would be such a big commotion this time. It seems that the villages are all connected with each other. At this juncture, if their village puts on a resolutely xenophobic attitude and refuses to cooperate, they may have to regret it in the future. .

"Look at those people, they have even agreed on the location of the morning market and the time when the market will open and close. I'm afraid we won't be able to stop them at that time." Luo Quanshun was full of worry.

"What are you afraid of, Uncle, it's that they really set up the morning market. If we don't like it, at most we just don't participate in it. Then we will continue to sell it on the grain drying ground in our village. Cows can force their heads if they don't drink water? "Romon gave him a relief pill.

Luo Quanshun has also managed their village well over the years. He is very concerned about the affairs of the village and is a kind person. Everyone is happy to let him be the village head.If we want to talk about the shortcomings, it is that I am too careful in my actions. I have lived in this mountain all my life, and I haven't had much contact with the outside world. I don't know much about economic concepts.

"Then if they put the morning market at the entrance of our village, wouldn't they compete with us for business?" Regarding the matter of the morning market, Luo Quanshun rejected it from the bottom of his heart.

"Look at their attitude today. If we don't agree, their morning market won't be able to open? At most, they'll just change places." The two were standing by the side of the road talking, when Romon saw a bullock cart approaching , raised his hand to beckon, and after getting in the car, he said again: "When the time comes, they will set up the morning market. Among other things, there must be more people than us, right? There must be more things than us, right? The price will also be lower than us. Are we cheaper? Then if you are a customer, where would you go?"

"..." Luo Quanshun sighed and stopped talking.

As a native of Dawan Village, he is already very satisfied with the current situation of Dawan Village, and he doesn't want to make any changes, and he doesn't want to take any risks, and he doesn't want to invite a large group of people to come to his house to compete with them.

Besides, if it is like someone in their village, who pulls a few city people from the Internet to live for a few days and earn some accommodation and food, then he is also optimistic.He just couldn't understand, how could those people who robbed the business greet them at the door of his house?

"Popularity is economics, uncle." Old Zhou said helplessly.

"..." Luo Quanshun didn't speak.

"Why do those big cities develop well? It's because of the large number of people. If the people run out, what else can they develop?" Lao Zhou continued to teach his uncle.

"..." Luo Quanshun still didn't speak, what did he know about the things in the city?He knows a little about the village.

"Let's go back first and listen to what the people in the village have to say?" He couldn't explain it anyway, and Lao Zhou was also a little puzzled.

"Okay." That's all there is to it.

The bullock cart drove all the way to Dawan Village, and Luo Meng didn't go back to his Niuwangzhuang, but went directly to the village, and called Xiao Shulin on the way, telling them not to wait for him to eat.

The food in the village is not bad, no, Luo Meng originally planned to go to Luo Quanshun's house to have a bite, and talk about the morning market by the way, but Wu Dongmei stopped him halfway. He didn't eat, so he dragged people to his house desperately, saying that Luo Qihua bought a duck today, and it was stewing in the pot right now.

Lao Zhou and Luo Quanshun then went to Wu Dongmei's house. When the duck was about to be cooked, Cao Fenglian led her young daughter-in-law Hu Xiumin and brought some dishes over.

"It's been a tiring day, and I can't finish eating so many dishes." Old Zhou said.It's the autumn harvest season recently, and there are no idlers in every household in the village.

"There's not much food, isn't this to talk about things, let's talk slowly with a little wine." Cao Fenglian took her daughter-in-law to finish the dishes, and she was about to leave. In the past, women didn't have much right to speak in the countryside. , Cao Fenglian is also used to this.

"What do you want to drink? Let's just have a few bites. Let's go to the sun-drying field later. Auntie, you all go when the time comes." Sure?Let everyone participate, especially now that there are many young people in their village.

"That's fine. When the two of you go out, let's talk to everyone. At 07:30, we will have a meeting about the morning market in our village at [-]:[-]." Luo Quanshun also said.

Dawan Village is a small village, and the villagers live together. Cao Fenglian just came out of Wu Dongmei's house and said it out loud. It didn't take long for the whole village to know about it.

"Eat more, there are no good dishes to entertain." Wu Dongmei warmly greeted Lao Zhou and the others.

"What good food do you want? It would be nice to have this." Luo Quanshun was not polite to them, and he ate it first. He was troubled by the morning market, so he didn't have a good meal at noon today.

"Bao Yin, call your sister down for dinner." Luo Qihua patted his son Luo Baoyin's back lightly.

"Sister, it's time to eat." Luo Baoyin didn't move, he raised his voice and yelled.

"Here we come." Luo Qingchun upstairs responded.

Luo Qingchun went downstairs, smiled at Lao Zhou and the others, and sat down to eat. Luo Qihua made her a bowl of duck soup and drank it too.

"Just eat that, and have a bowl of soup." Luo Qihua said hastily.

"Don't drink anymore." Luo Qingchun replied lightly, without even looking at her father, she put away her bowl and chopsticks, turned around and went upstairs again.

Lao Zhou and the others could also see that Luo Qingchun still didn't like to talk to her father Luo Qihua very much, so the child couldn't be blamed for this matter, it had to be Luo Qihua's own fault.

"She is under a lot of pressure to study now." Luo Qihua said to Lao Zhou and the others with a smile.

"Don't pay attention to her, the period of rebellion has come." Wu Dongmei said indifferently.

"Your family's Qingchun is considered very good. They are very measured in everything and don't cause trouble. Besides, how good is study." Luo Quanshun's words are not without envy. Like learning not to cause trouble, how rebellious he likes.

"Just playing petty temper with her father, she didn't treat me like that." Wu Dongmei also didn't want people to say that her daughter had a bad temper and was ignorant.

"Children, it's okay to have a small temper, but you can't call it holding back." Old Zhou said.As far as the situation of Wu Dongmei's family was in the past few years, how could Luo Qingchun have the conditions to be petty?She had to be sensible at that time, but now that the family conditions are much better, she should be told to vent out the grievances in her heart.

"That's not true." Wu Dongmei also felt that what Lao Zhou said was right.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Luo Qihua called everyone to eat vegetables again.

"You guys eat too." Seeing that Luo Qihua didn't put down his chopsticks much, Lao Zhou beckoned him to eat more.

"Hi, I ate a lot just now." Luo Qihua seemed a little hesitant to speak.

"Village chief, how are you talking about the morning market today?" Wu Dongmei asked directly.

"It's not settled yet, what do you two mean?" Luo Quanshun asked about their attitudes by the way.

"We both follow everyone's wishes." Luo Qihua said.

"But let me tell you, this morning market is also beneficial. Aunt Zhanfang sells mixed noodles in our village, and Wanqiang's pancake stall, and their tofu sellers and soy sauce sellers... ...There is no harm in having more people." Wu Dongmei said.

"You two plan to set up the whole stall too?" Old Zhou asked with a smile.

"No, our family doesn't have much land, and these two children seem to be growing up." Luo Qihua said.

"That's right, high school tuition is not cheap." Luo Quanshun also has two grandsons in his family. After finishing junior high school, they should be promoted to high school. The high school tuition is really high, which means that their family's situation is better now. In the past, the burden is also very heavy.

"Then what are you two planning to do?" Old Zhou asked them.Wu Dongmei now has a job in Niuwangzhuang, and someone needs to take care of the farm at home. It is not suitable for Wu Qihua to find other jobs. It would be good to set up a stall in the morning market, anyway, it only takes two or three hours.

"The two of us have no other skills, so we plan to set up a stall to sell steamed buns with mixed noodles. Look, Lao Zhou..." Wu Dongmei asked Lao Zhou what he meant.

"That's good." Lao Zhou expressed his support: "It just so happens that you two also planted a lot of miscellaneous grains this year."

Wu Dongmei and Luo Qihua have opened up a lot of small plots of land in some ditches and rough places in their village this year. The land can't grow expensive crops, but the whole corn and beans can be used.

Beans have a short growth cycle, and their family has started to have food in the warehouse one after another since the end of summer. It is estimated that they have saved a lot by now. After all, the sales of this thing on the online store are very average.

"The formula or something..." Wu Dongmei felt embarrassed on rare occasions.

"What's the matter, use it." Old Zhou said generously.

As for the recipes of the Zamian steamed buns in Niuwang Village, it is no longer a secret. Lao Zhou never asked to keep it secret from the beginning, mainly because there is not much technical content. Whether the Zamian steamed buns are delicious or not, In the end, it depends on the material.

Although it is not a strictly confidential formula, Wu Dongmei and his wife are still very grateful for Lao Zhou letting them use this formula for business. After eating a few more mouthfuls and saying a few words, Wu Dongmei is about to leave the table first. : "Eat slowly, I'll go to the grain drying yard and have a look."

"Okay, you go first." Lao Zhou knew that she was going there to canvass votes.

"Go, let's go." Luo Quanshun was also a little helpless. Wu Dongmei and Luo Qihua's intentions were already obvious. They just wanted to support the morning market. There are probably many people in the village who think like them. They didn't say anything before, probably It's because of the face of the villagers in the village. After all, there are so many voices of opposition, no one wants to confront the villagers, but once it involves personal interests...

"Everyone wants to go to a better life." Old Zhou comforted Luo Quanshun.

"Let's just follow everyone's opinion." This year is no longer an era that can be counted by the elders.

At 07:30 that evening, the villagers of Dawan Village gathered at the sun-drying field and held an anonymous vote on the issue of the morning market.

In the final voting results, [-]% of the people agreed with this morning market, and only [-]% opposed it, an overwhelming victory.

The contradiction between these two groups of people is, to put it bluntly, the contradiction between "fear of competition" and "demanding the market". Most of the people who are afraid of competition are the elders in the village. They have lived most of their lives and suffered a lot. I am very satisfied with the current situation of Dawan Village.

These people speak loudly, and few people would refute them face to face, so at first glance, the villagers in Dawan Village seem to have the same opinion. In fact... Anyway, through this vote, Luo Quanshun and others , and basically saw the real thoughts of the villagers.

"What's on your mind, you have to say it. If you don't say it, how can I know?" Regarding this result, Luo Quanshun had mixed feelings.

"No, we just heard about the morning market incident today." Everyone was somewhat embarrassed about the village head who was running around about the village's affairs.

But speaking of this... people from other villages wanted to come to them to sell vegetables, of course they were not happy about it, you sell vegetables in our village, don’t talk about stealing our business, in case you get some bad vegetables come over In the end, the signboard of Dawan Village had to be smashed.

However, as I said today, it would be very different if the big guys hold a large-scale morning market together, and I heard that the villages are still separated from each other. People in Dawan Village now cherish their village's signboard Yes, as soon as they heard that they were separated, many people were happy.

"Uncle, this is the situation in our village. There are many people and little land, and everyone wants to find something else to make a living." Luo Zhifang also spoke at this time.

Here is a mountainous area, and every family can get such a small amount of land. It is impossible to get rich just by farming. Even if the price of vegetables in their village is good now, the young people still don’t come back. It doesn’t matter whether the young people are willing to farm or not, even if they When they came back, there was no extra land for them to plant.

Luo Zhifang wants to grow lotus root himself this time, and intends to contract a piece of land in the village, but where is the land?There are only a few hillsides in total, and all that can be covered are covered by others, and the rest are some stone slopes and miscellaneous forests.

Looking around, he finally saw a gentle slope at the foot of the hillside contracted by Wu Zhanfang.Wu Zhanfang was quite easy-going, saying that their family didn't need it anyway, and their own family had limited resources and didn't have the energy to take care of it, so they readily agreed to sublet it to Luo Zhifang.For this matter, he has been listening to gossips from people in the village recently, especially when Wu Zhanfang and Luo Minghui broke up.

"No, the two of us still have enough energy to take care of those few vegetable fields, where is there any land for young people?"

"Yes, village head, I still want to set up a stall in the morning market."

"Some time ago, my son called back and said he wanted to make buns. I said that there is no room in our Dawan village. If we want to come back to make buns, we have to go to other villages to make buns."

"Other villages are not easy to buy now, and the prices have all gone up."

"..."

The big guys chattered loudly. In fact, many people were a little guilty. This was done in a very unreasonable way. Before, none of them said anything. This time, after voting, the result became like this , Feeling like a traitor and liar.

"Hey... that's fine, that's the deal with the morning market. I'll talk to them tomorrow." Luo Quanshun waved his hand, indicating that the matter is settled.

Dawan Village is only this big in total. He watched many people grow up. Now most of them are married and have children, and they have their own ideas. Today's matter is for Luo Quanshun It was a shock, but not enough to hurt feelings.

Many old people in the village must have been affected, but if you think about it another way, if the young people don't choke with you face to face, it's saving face for you. Just be content with what you should.

After a while, he has to condolences to those old folks in the village, and they are all dedicated to the good of the village. Like an old dog, as soon as he senses that his village is threatened, he jumps out and barks desperately.

The problem is that sometimes the people behind them don't appreciate it...

"Hello, old Chen." At this moment, Lao Zhou called their steward Chen.

"What's the matter?" Steward Chen's attitude was not very enthusiastic, he didn't like to hear people call him Old Chen, he was not very old.

"You send someone to bring some jars of good wine. I'm going to have a drink with the village chief and the others tonight," Lao Zhou said.

"What kind of wine do you want?" Chen Guanshi's words were actually asking if he wanted wolfberry wine. After all, this wolfberry wine was too refined and expensive, and Lao Zhou usually didn't touch it much.

"Get some goji berry wine, loquat wine, and some wine, too," Lao Zhou said.

"Okay, got it." Chen Guanshi replied.

On the side of the grain drying field, the eyes of those uncles who were still a little bit depressed when they heard that Lao Zhou sent someone to bring wine, their eyes lit up immediately.

"Old Zhou, tell them to bring more wolfberry wine." A young man pretended that Lao Zhou gave them wine.

"What kind of wine do you drink at a young age? Hurry up and go home and go to bed." If the whole village invites him, how much wine will it cost? Lao Zhou is reluctant.He just wanted to invite the old men and women in the village to have a drink. Most of the people who opposed this time were the old people in the village.

According to Lao Zhou's opinion, opinions can be different, but they must be taken seriously emotionally. Don't chill them because of today's matter.

Niuwangzhuang side.

"Why, Lao Zhou called for someone to deliver wine?" There was someone with sharp ears beside Chen Guanshi, who heard the call clearly.

"Yes." Chen Jianhua got up and went to the warehouse.

"Let me go, Manager Chen!" The young man was very active.

"It's a mess, don't smash the wine jar, I'll go." Na Maocheng stood up from the stool at this time.

"Okay, you go." No matter how you look at it, Namao is much more reliable than that young man, and the batch of wine that Lao Zhou asked for tonight is worth his money.

"You said that brother Na Maocheng is going, when will he come back?" The people on the corridor said with a smile.

"Every three to five hours, I can't come back." If it wasn't for a drink, who would be rushing to run errands for Lao Zhou in the middle of the night.
