Chapter 256 Time, please go slower
Just when the crowd was getting excited, Huanxi stood up and poured a bucket of cold water on everyone.
"Because this seedling comes from my family! So you have to sign an agreement with me. This agreement states that it can only be sold to me. If you sell it to someone else, you have to pay compensation! If you think the conditions are harsh, you don't have to buy it. It's completely voluntary, everyone!"
After these words were spoken, there was silence for a moment before the discussion continued.
"This is too overbearing! Can I only sell it to you?"
Huanxi glanced at the person who was speaking and said:
"You don't have to buy it if you feel overbearing. I'm not forcing you."
"How dare you talk like that? Don't think you can look down on others just because you have money! I bought a seedling from you and signed that damn agreement. You are really a woman..." The man noticed her eyes and said dissatisfiedly.
Huanxi sneered:
"You don't have to buy the rice seedlings I produce, but if you want to throw dirty water on me like this, then I won't sell them to you. Qingzhao, let's go back."
After she finished speaking, she pulled Xu Qingzhao home. She didn't know the person who was talking to her. He was a gray-haired old man. She probably didn't go out much before, so she hadn't seen him often.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the village chief quickly grabbed her.
"Hey, hey, hey, girl, don't go." He turned around and scolded the old man, "Old man Zhang, do you know how to speak? This girl is so kind! If you don't want to buy it, go home!"
Old man Zhang was silenced by the village chief's yelling. He snorted coldly and stepped aside without saying a word.
Huanxi was also furious. She had been very nice to the people in the village, so how could there be such an idiot who would challenge her bottom line?
Seeing that Huanxi didn't take a step but had a serious face, the village chief understood that this girl was really angry.
"I'll say it again! If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it! Stop nagging! People like girls who have houses and land, and they don't need your money! What's the reason? Just to help us! You don't know how to appreciate kindness every day!"
The villagers standing by were also awakened by these words. They all knew that the girl Huanxi had borrowed 1,000 taels from the village with a wave of her hand. Now that the village is developing better and better, they also want to get a share of the pie.
I was also misled by a word from that old man Zhang.
It is natural for people to be happy to plant rice and harvest the fruits. You still have to pay back the grain you borrowed from the court.
"Don't be angry, girl. Let's sign. Let's sign. That old man Zhang is mentally ill. Don't argue with him."
"That's right, this old man is short-sighted. We are different..."
Everyone tried to calm her down with words. She was a henpecked woman who only liked to hear nice things...
"Alright, alright, I'm not that stingy. As I said before, if you want to buy the rice seedlings, sign the agreement. If you think I'm being overbearing, you don't have to buy them, everyone."
Having said that, those people had nothing to say. However, they still persuaded a small number of people to leave. Those who stayed were, as expected, close friends of Huanxi.
Lu Daniu's family bore the brunt of the attack, followed by Liu and Lu Lin, the village chief's family, the clan leader's family, and next door Uncle Li Hai, Doctor Lu's family, and Carpenter Lin's family...
Because there were not so many people buying, there were only ten families in total, so Huanxi gave each family eighty pieces, which only cost one hundred and twenty cents in total.
After being informed that they would go to Zhao's house to pick up the rice seedlings and sign the contract, Huanxi took Xu Qingzhao home.
Before leaving, Huanxi invited the village chief and his wife to her house for dinner in the evening to welcome Xu Qingzhao.
When they got home, they went to the study to start drafting the contract. When the villagers came in a hurry, Huanxi had already divided the seedlings and was waiting to get the money.
"If you don't know how to grow it, just ask my sister Suyun. She is very good at it. She is the best at growing this." Huanxi said while collecting the money.
Su Yun felt embarrassed by what she said, and counted the rice seeds with a red face.
After everyone had taken their supplies, they were asked about precautions and then hurried home to plant seedlings.
It is now the end of April and the weather is just right.
The wheat in the field has grown to the height of my calf and should be ready for harvest in two months.
She was happy to see this house. When she thought about it, it had been a year since she traveled through time.
This year she fought against strange people, killed evildoers, saved her lover, and raised her children.
This kind of life is not only more fulfilling than modern times, but also more practical than modern times.
"Mom! I got an A on the test today!" Xiao Nian has grown a lot taller, and she stepped forward with her chubby little legs to show off her good grades today.
Huanxi bent down, picked her up, pinched her little face, rubbed her face with his, and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, our Nian Nian is really amazing. How come it's so amazing? Have you thanked Master for his teachings?"
Xiao Nian also hugged Huanxi and said in a baby voice:
"Thank you, Master praised me for being smart, hehe."
Xu Qingzhao behind her felt extremely at peace when she saw this scene. If only time could go slower, she would never have to go back to that horrible place in the capital.
"Qing Zhao, let's go~"
Huanxi's voice brought her back to reality, and then she followed Huanxi's footsteps into the yard.
Shuxiangju is still full of customers today, and it has been more than a month. Huanxi doesn't have much to take care of. Every night she only needs to sort out the account books sent by He Yuanyuan and do a check of the accounts.
She is going to town tomorrow. The school has been repaired and the wind has been blowing for some time. The most important thing now is to invite the teacher.
In addition, Shuxiangju had to go to the town to purchase goods every other day, so she had to buy a new carriage exclusively for Shuxiangju.
The two cows in the backyard have been raised for almost half a year and are fat and strong. Now is the time for them to work, but there is no need to open up any land for the time being.
She would have to think about it again to see if there was anything else she needed to buy. She had almost another thousand taels stored in her warehouse, so it was time to spend it.
The first thing she did when she went to town was to see the shop she had rented. It had been decorated and a sign was put up according to her ideas. She had a suitable candidate in mind for this place, but if he was unwilling, she would have to buy someone else.
She took Xu Qingzhao around the town and finally arrived in front of the dilapidated house.
This time he didn't drill through the dog hole, but knocked on the dilapidated door.
On the way, she told Xu Qingzhao her idea, and Xu Qingzhao also agreed to find an opportunity to test the skills of the Yunchuan boy.
Dong dong dong
She didn't know if there was any code for knocking on the door, but going through the dog hole was a bit too presumptuous... She might as well knock on the door...
After a while, a child appeared behind her and shouted at her, almost scaring her to death.
"Oh my! It's so scary!"
"Boss Zhao! Is that you? What brings you here?"
I happily turned around and saw that it was a familiar face.
"Gou Wa Zi, where is your brother Yun Chuan? Is he home? I came to see him for something."
"I'm here. What are you doing here, Boss Zhao? Brother Yunchuan hasn't been feeling well lately. I'm afraid you're going to miss out."
"Oh? What's wrong? You're not feeling well. Do you want to see a doctor?"
"No... Brother Yunchuan won't let me..."
Huanxi crawled in through the dog hole with doubts in her heart. It turned out that the door was not refused to be opened, but was broken and could not be opened...
