Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 37 Find a widow

"Sister-in-law, help me find some hemp rope. I'll tie the two bags together for easy handling."

"Okay, just wait."

Wang Juhua walked to the corner, rummaged through a pile of sundries, and said while rummaging through: "Brother Shepherd, are you 35 this year?"

"No, just 31."

"Oh, you're only 31. I thought you were 35, so you look a bit mature."

Li Muyang smiled and said, "As people from the mountains, facing the loess all day long and being exposed to the wind and sun, they age quickly. They are certainly not as comfortable as my sister-in-law, who sits around making money all day long."

"Then you need something sweet. Once a man is over thirty, it's not easy to find a partner. You said that if your family is well-off, with several red brick and large tiled houses, your family savings can be as high as [-] yuan. , it’s okay to say, but now..."

As she said this, Wang Juhua couldn't help but shake her head.

A very helpless look.

Li Muyang stood quietly like that. Wang Juhua didn't speak and he ignored her.

If she asked, he would just answer a few questions casually.

He knew very well that Wang Juhua didn't take advantage, so he was definitely not lenient with his words, and he would be fine if he could get some back.

Because she bought flour for 4 cents per pound, Wang Juhua was not satisfied from the beginning.

First, he used flour containing waste residue to pass it off as inferior quality, thus taking advantage of him in vain, but he saw through it.

I also thought about working hard on the scale and secretly stepping on the scale with my toes when weighing things to increase the weight.

Not only was he exposed by Li Muyang, but he also retaliated in kind.

Wang Juhua stepped on it with her feet, and Li Muyang gently pushed it with her knees.

Wang Juhua was very energetic, and Li Muyang was born with great strength.

After going back and forth, Wang Juhua not only failed to take advantage, but Li Muyang also got the upper hand.

That's why the original 10 scoops of flour became 11 scoops.

Wang Juhua looked surprised when she reached 9 scoops. She just couldn't figure out why the weighing scale was useless today. Logically speaking, if she gently stepped on the scale, only 9 scoops would be enough.

I had no choice but to add 10 scoops.

But something unexpected happened to her.

She obviously added 10 scoops into it, but she said it was still not even. This is a bit outrageous.

Li Muyang said from the side that maybe the flour scoop was not full, so some was left out. She was really unsure for a moment.

Because she had never helped people pronounce their names correctly, she naturally didn't know how much a ladle was filled with.

Helpless, I had to add another scoop to Li Muyang to get the balance to where it should be.

Li Muyang didn't want to take advantage.

Since you want to steal my nickname, then I will let you see the dangers of missing a nickname.

If you are going to lose one pound from me, then I will take advantage of one pound from you.

Slight punishment.

And he took the opportunity to buy the flour with scum at a very low price.

Between the lines of his words, Wang Juhua was tricked. Since this flour cannot be sold as flour, it can only be sold as bran or bran. Bran and bran cost about one or two cents per pound, so this noodle will also be sold. It should be sold for a cent or two.

This is a typical logic substitution.

Shepherd Li is honest, but not stupid.

Wang Juhua was confused for a moment. She was slightly panicked because Li Muyang found out about the secret identity, so she didn't think through the logic for a while.Even though this dough cannot be eaten by humans, it is flour after all and can only be fed to livestock as bran. However, this is also white flour, which does not mean it is bran.

Just like meat and radishes can both be eaten by people, it does not mean that meat has the same price as radish. The experiences they bring to people are different.

What's more, even if this flour cannot be sold, people can still eat it if it is packed away.

Compared to bran and chaff, I don’t know how clean this noodle is.

It is a pity that Wang Juhua is basically led by Li Muyang and has completely lost the ability to think independently.

As for Li Muyang's last big talk about Li Muyang's marriage, Li Muyang simply chose to ignore it.

Things like not getting married will be solved sooner or later. When he marries Lin Xiuli, these people will know what a virtuous wife is, and then the whole village will praise him in turn.

He said that the reason why he had not married a wife for so many years was because he was waiting for Lin Xiuli to arrive.

When someone's mouth hangs on the face of the world, he can't step forward to seal it and prevent them from talking.

"Listen to my sister-in-law's advice and ask the matchmaker to find out who has a widow or something, and help you quickly..."

"I'll tie you up."

Li Muyang took the hemp rope handed over by Wang Juhua and began to tie the mouth of the bag.

"...Don't look down on widows. Widows are human beings too. As long as they still have the ability to give birth to babies, if you put in a little effort, you can have two more babies in a few years. No matter how hard life is, you still have to carry on the family line, right?"

Li Muyang ignored it and weighed the tied rope. It was very strong.

"In addition, you have to tell the brothers in your family who they are. They are married and their children are running around. They don't care about me. They leave a paralyzed woman to you, an unmarried person. , you said you took her with you, that girl is blind and dares to marry you..."

"Sister-in-law Daihua, I'll leave first."

Li Muyang carried the bag and walked out, and Wang Juhua followed him out, not forgetting to explain, "You must listen carefully to what my sister-in-law says to you. I won't say it to most people. Isn't this because I feel sorry for you?" , be careful and don’t be bullied by others!”

Li Muyang smiled slightly, turned and walked home.

As luck would have it, as soon as he walked through the village chief's door, he heard the door creak open again, and Li Jianshe's hearty and proud laughter came out.

"Village Chief Li, this matter will trouble you a lot. I, Mr. Song, am not familiar with the place here, but I have to rely on you to help me. Once everything is done, everything will be easy to discuss."

"It's easy to talk. Boss Song is so polite. This can be regarded as a benefit to us, the people of Lijia Village. If you can find us specifically and leave the opportunity to us, we will fully cooperate."

"Haha, that's it. I'll come back in a week. Please take your time. I'll take my leave now."

"Okay, Boss Song, walk slowly."

"Goodbye."

"Goodbye."

Li Muyang heard the motorcycle start behind him. With the "rumbling" sound, the motorcycle quickly passed Li Muyang and sped away.

Wherever the motorcycle passed, a wall of two to three meters of earth was raised, and some of it fell on Li Muyang's face, body, and eyes.

Li Muyang stopped and waited quietly for the dust to drift away.

There was a hint of unhappiness at the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the motorcycle disappearing at the end of the road and had an idea.

Isn't this person just a second-rate Cordyceps dealer? If he can do it, why can't he?

If you can spend 500 yuan per pound to collect the items and then sell them to the supply and marketing center, you can make a net profit...

No, no, no, he quickly gave up the idea.

This may not be appropriate. There are other villagers nearby who go to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell. If I let it slip, I will not be able to hold my head high in front of others.
