Qiong Yin lingers

Chapter 18
Zhang Wenqian, who was half asleep and half awake, heard the conversation between her mother and grandma, rubbed her eyes in bewilderment, and shouted: "Go overseas! Go to Vienna!"

Just because Zhang Shennian made a joke in the letter, saying that Zhang Wenqian was going to Vienna to hold a Qiongju concert, so Zhang Wenqian kept Vienna firmly in her heart.Hearing the conversation between grandma and mother while sleeping in a daze, he howled so loudly.

Meng Huaxiang clicked his tongue, and said in a broken voice that Zhang Shennian knew not to do his job all day long, and he always taught his children strange things.

Where is Vienna on earth?What is it again?Meng Huaxiang didn't know, but seeing her granddaughter with half-closed eyes but a determined expression on her face, she grinned involuntarily, hugged her granddaughter in her arms, and put her on her back: "Okay! Let's Xiaoqian, go to Vienna, sing Qiong opera!"

In [-], Lixia.

When Huang Simei was planning the teahouse in Triangle Park, the villagers of Erxian Village inexplicably developed a huge hostility towards Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe.

Even, many villagers in Shiliba Township chose not to supply Huang Simei.

The supply of local sweet potatoes, which was originally the most stable, was cut off for a time, which made Huang Simei so anxious that her mouth was blistered.

Zhang Wenxuan didn't know why his mother got angry, so he specially took the steamed vermicelli and went to his mother: "Grandma, eat quickly! This is a foreigner's potato brought back by Dad!"

Zhang Wenqian followed behind her brother in a childlike voice, humming a little song in Qiongju opera: "In the past, I didn't want to talk about it when I was hungry, but today I serve dinner at the table. Human feelings are upside down, he is not upside down, and he has his own true feelings in his heart. Shame on the table of a prince At the banquet, let’s fill the coarse grains to help the people. If the price is higher earlier, I will not complain about sand and alkali in this life—sweet potatoes, delicious! Fragrant! Sweet!”

Zhang Wenxuan moaned and disliked his sister, and began to sing: "Mr. Su Dongpo's "He Tao Rewards Liu Chaisang" is more artistic..."

"Sweet potatoes and purple buds are placed far away around the wall. Let the orchids spring, don't compete for frost and chrysanthemums in autumn. The poor winter comes out of the urn, and the uprightness is better than the farm. Qishang Baiyuyan, can recover from this, don't think about horses and travel less .”

Huang Simei's frowning brows were slowly loosened, and she picked up her daughter and rubbed her head: "Who taught you this song?"

"Grandmother taught me! Grandma said that in the past, poor people ate sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger. Now we can not only sell sweet potatoes to the city, but also transport sweet potatoes from overseas to eat. It's really strange!"

Zhang Wenqian shook her head, and the ending of Xiaonai's voice dragged far away, making Huang Simei laugh out loud.

Indeed, in the poem "Potato Rice" written by Hu Jian in the Qing Dynasty, it was mentioned that sweet potatoes were rare when they were first introduced to China, and later sweet potatoes were one of the most precious rice grains: Overseas family. Righteous men don’t need to worry about it, what’s the matter with the general’s amount of sand. Smile and sweet rice for Tianfu, and sweet potatoes for sweet potatoes. After dividing the crops from the corner of the island, the wind will sing peach blossoms everywhere.”

In Meng Huaxiang's time, even in Zhang Shennian's childhood, eating sweet potatoes was quite a feat.

Especially when he was dizzy from hunger, one of Zhang Shennian's dark history was that he wanted to stuff a fly in his mouth when he killed a fly.

The more Huang Simi thought about it, the happier she was, her mouth opened wide with joy, and the bubbles on her mouth moved, Huang Simi cried out "Oh, oh, oh" repeatedly, but the depression in her heart was swept away!

Right!

Since you can't buy sweet potatoes from all over the world, why not try this treasure from overseas?

Taking out the straw paper, Huang Simei immediately circled the land for land reclamation: "First plant 50 acres of overseas vermicelli and cassava. If I can't get any local products, I will only sell sweet potatoes! Hmph!"

*
After Zhang Shennian went to sea to do freight, Huang Donghua went to Sanya to do local goods and entered the city, and he had already given three points to Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao.

He listened to what Huang Simi and Zhang Shennian said, and only stayed at the headquarters of the third market, focusing on making high-quality local products, and avoided confrontation with Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao in the first market.

After Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao resorted to tricks in Erxian Village, Huang Simei also chose to back down and move to ten miles and eight villages, but even so, Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao still wanted to kill Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe!
These two people, a nest of snakes and rats, threatened Huang Donghua blatantly, telling him to give up the third market, otherwise, he would be like Zhang Shennian, losing every game, and could only hide and go to sea to work as a coolie.He also said a lot of ugly things.

What surprised Huang Simi even more was that they threatened and lured Huang Donghua, trying to lure him into a stake; at the same time, they did not forget to pour dirty water on the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe. , The tragic story of despair.

The aborigines in Erxian Village are very simple and simple.

After being repeatedly cried out by Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao, they also developed deep hostility towards Huang Simi. When they saw Huang Simi, they either rolled their eyes or spit.

"Bah! We sell goods to some people with good intentions, but some people are so black-hearted and deliberately lie to us at a low price! What are you talking about for common prosperity, bah! Liars! Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe is a bunch of bad guys!"

"Things with black hearts and black lungs! Things that squeeze us to eat human blood steamed buns! Let's not talk about anything else, since the nursery still charges money, you know it's not a good thing!"

"Using our money to support that shabby Qiong troupe. I have nightmares in the middle of the night. I don't know if you will wake up? Doesn't your conscience hurt? After deceiving us ordinary people, you still want to suppress Amin and Jiaojiao. This is to kill us The way out! You have a bad heart!"

……

In this season when they were supposed to be busy planting seeds, the villagers of Erxian Village collectively chose to "pass by" the Oriental Tea House deliberately and provocatively.

Huang Simei felt very bitter: If Zhang Shennian hadn't set up a stall in Sanya, every household in Erxian Village would not be able to save three figures all year round by farming.

"Cheap grain hurts farmers". Farmers are afraid of famine and grain loss, and they are also afraid that the price will be lowered for a good harvest. Because Erxian Village is located in a remote place, foreign buyers will take the opportunity to lower the price. Sometimes the price is not even enough for labor. Some farmers even choose to let these grains Rotten in the ground.

In order to protect the interests of the villagers, Zhang Shennian has followed two principles in purchasing agricultural products over the years: first, the purchase of agricultural products from Erxian Village is given priority; second, the price is higher than similar purchases in the market, at least the same.

Take cantaloupe as an example. Sometimes when the weather is bad, the fruit looks bad. Zhang Shennian also gritted his teeth and shipped them at the original price. When he arrived in Sanya, he had to lower the price and increase the volume.

Of course, the aborigines in Erxian Village don’t know that the products fluctuate every season, and the market price fluctuates even more. These uncertain factors are closely related to the profit and loss, but what Zhang Shennian gave them is basically the same. purchase price.

Huang Simei always thought that everyone would repay their kindness. After all, it was Zhang Shennian who opened up the channel for local goods to enter the city, and also helped more than half of the villagers in Erxian Village to break free from the poverty line.

But now, in the face of the sugar-coated shells of Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao's "increased price acquisition", everyone has chosen Li Dongming.

In this world, besides the sun, there are people's hearts that cannot be looked at directly.

Huang Simi was so abused, her heart was as cold as frost.

But what Li Dongming wants is the local products from the entire Erxian Village, and even the local products from the entire SY market to enter the city for business.

Therefore, he was not willing to just let the villagers rejoice, so he directed and acted a farce, brought a group of people to the Oriental Teahouse, and cut off a corner of his clothes in person, claiming that he would completely break up with Huang Simei in the name of the villagers of Erxian Village .

"No one in Erxian Village knows that Jiaojiao and I have been obedient to you since we were young! Let us go west and never dare to go east! We worked hard in the first market, but we were suppressed in various ways. We were forced to do nothing. I have to come out and do it alone, but I still have to be suppressed and bullied by Sister Mei! Does Sister Mei really want to drive us to a dead end?..."

"I'm here today, cut off my robes, cut off my righteousness, and cut off my friendship with the Qiong Opera Troupe from now on! From now on, you take your Yangguan Road and I will cross my single-plank bridge! Jiaojiao and I will lead Erxian Village to prosperity together! Sister Mei, you Stop it! If you make money with no conscience, even if the Qiong Opera can be passed down, it will be a stain!"

Li Dongming half-sang and half-spoken, with a sincere and sincere expression on his face; but his words were absurd and illogical.

However, all the villagers who followed him to watch the fun believed it.

The villagers followed Li Dongming and scolded Huang Simei one after another, as if she had committed a heinous crime.

At this moment, Huang Simi couldn't argue with a hundred words, and she couldn't help crying.

Li Dongming saw Huang Simei standing quietly without arguing, showing a triumphant smile, and continued to raise his arms and shouted: "Fathers and folks! Don't be fooled by Huang Simei. Remember, she is an actress! What she is best at is Acting——on the stage, everyone’s ladylike daughter is a real Yang Bailao and a capitalist! Everyone must keep their eyes open..."

Huang Simei couldn't believe it, the oily-mouthed person in front of her was a good apprentice brought out by her mother.

When she first arrived at the troupe, Li Dongming followed behind her older sister and younger sister, which made her feel distressed and pity.

Meng Huaxiang couldn't bear to see his skinny appearance, and paid more attention to him than others.

Looking at it now, it is really unsatisfactory.

After finally raising a good seedling with new horns, he wanted to go to the sea, but Meng Huaxiang reluctantly fulfilled it; when he arrived in Sanya, he took every step to snatch a stall in the first market, Zhang Shennian and Huang Simei also chose to give in.

But now, he actually wants to monopolize the local goods business in Sanya: follow Zhang Shennian's path, leaving Zhang Shennian with nowhere to go!

Huang Simei let out a long breath of foul air, and after the pain in her chest eased, she said calmly: "Opening the door to do business naturally means making a profit. I dare not say that I didn't earn a penny from everyone, but the purchase of local goods , we always insist on purchasing goods only from Erxian Village, and always guarantee that the purchase price is not lower than the same price in the market, and we have never treated you badly... There is a group motto of our Oriental Qiong Opera Troupe: Gentlemen love money and get it in a proper way. Since everyone There is no distinction between black and white, and we will part ways in the future! Why humiliate people like this?"

After all, the local goods are not limited to Erxian Village, and she insists on giving priority to shipments from Erxian Village as many people come to her door from all over the world.

During this period of time, in order to avoid her sharp edge, Huang Simimei has tried her best to buy in all kinds of towns and villages, but she didn't expect that Li Dongming would press on every step of the way.

After Li Dongming heard it, he laughed and said, "Never treated you badly? Jiaojiao and I are 5% higher than your purchase price, and the market price is 5% lower than yours. Isn't these ten points the black-hearted money earned by my sister? Sister Mei, make money." It’s not scary, going out to do business is not charity, but if you make money that is unconscionable, you really have to think about it, will it be reported to the world. If you want me to say, the Dongfang Qiong Opera Troupe is so down now, it’s not because you made money The retribution of blind dates!"

Hearing this, Huang Simi staggered and almost fell.

Li Dongming is too vicious, this is simply murder!
But he was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and he couldn't refute it.

Zhong Lihua is still fluent in Mandarin, but still stomped her feet and said angrily: "Sister Mei is a good person! You slander!"

Lin Jiaojiao stood up at the right time, holding a handkerchief, and kept wiping her eyes.

Today's Li Dongming wears a suit, vest and leather shoes, with a big back and shiny hair; Lin Jiaojiao's white dress flutters, and her face is heavily powdered.The two stood together, like a "husband singing and wife following".

Lin Jiaojiao's rapping skills are even better than Li Dongming's: "I think at the beginning, we agreed to set up a stall in Sanya to do business, mainly to help the villagers sell local goods, and to help Erxian Village get rid of poverty and achieve common prosperity. Lead the whole village to live a good life. Who would have thought, Sister Mei, you only want to make a fortune for yourself and leave Erxian Village behind! The old head taught us before, we must not forget our roots! Erxian Village gave birth to me and raised me, Brother Dongming and I are just trying to repay this kindness! Please let Sister Mei let us go! We are forced to do nothing!"

It turned out that he betrayed the Dongfangqiong Troupe and stabbed Zhang Shennian and Huang Simi behind their backs.

But now, the two are pretending, one is tough and domineering, the other is charming and crying, and they have become victims.

But Zhang Shennian, who helped the villagers sell their local goods into the city, became a sinner.

Huang Simimei and Zhong Lihua have also become what everyone refers to as "black-hearted capitalists".

Sometimes life is crueler than fiction!

The onlookers, who always listened to the wind and the rain, finished accusing Huang Simi with curses, turned around and followed Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao, cursing Yang Bailao, and kept saying that they would only cooperate with the real Li Dongming and Lin Jiaojiao in the future.

Zhong Lihua wanted to argue with the villagers, but was held back by Huang Simei: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and it takes a long time to see people's hearts. Let's wait and see!"

Zhong Lihua couldn't speak Mandarin well, but she stuck her neck and shouted towards the crowd: "I believe in Sister Mei! She is a good person! She helps us make brocade and sells goods for us, she is a good person!"

Seeing Zhong Lihua bursting into tears, arguing for herself with her neck stuck, Huang Simi, who was heartbroken, turned her eyes slightly hot: In this world, some people regard you as a broom, and some people regard you as a treasure.

It is enough to cherish the people who should be cherished in front of you!
