Chapter 667: Eggs for Snacks
Zhou Guo said, "How could that be? I trust you more than ever. But when doing business, you must keep clear accounts, not a single cent can be wrong. Otherwise, if there is a problem and the accounts don't match, I can be the first to exclude you, so you won't be unclear. You have been doing business for a lifetime, and you have crossed more bridges than I have walked. You know this principle better than me."
The old man became happy again, "You are right, brothers should settle accounts clearly, I didn't lack anything, am I afraid that you will weigh it? If I weigh it, I have enough. Even if it is not enough, I can make up for it. But you can't blame me later."
Zhou Guo looked at the old man and said, "Master, why don't you not go? The old man can't be alone when he comes. I'll just pick someone else to go with me."
The old man nodded, "Well, he probably came to me to go fishing again. I'll see when I can take him to the mountains."
Zhou Guo picked another person to get on the car and said to the old man, "Grandpa Zhao, my master is with you. As for your grain, my mother is at home and she will take care of it. I still have to go to the village to collect all the grain that was not collected yesterday."
The old man was very happy and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
Zhou Guo left without saying a word along the way.
When I arrived at the village, I didn't go to the fields because someone was already guarding each house.
Yesterday was the first time we came to collect grain. The first few households used up all their grain, or maybe they didn’t have that many beans at home.
Today, more and more families are buying beans, and every household uses beans to a greater or lesser extent.
These people were afraid that Zhou Guo would be unhappy, so they said, "We have a lot of beans at home, and when we heard you wanted some, we gave you some."
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I want the beans too."
We have so many livestock at home, we can’t just feed them grass all year round, right?
Beans also need to be fed. Beans of all colors can be fed, and they can also be used to change the taste.
Otherwise, you would have to spend money to buy beans every year.
Seeing that she was not surprised, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Before leaving, they gave Zhou Guo some gifts, including two eggs, a handful of peanuts, and a few chestnuts...
Seeing that it was not a valuable item, Zhou Guo accepted it. Everyone became even happier and kept praising him.
"You don't know how much more grain we harvested from our few acres of land this year. Two or three dan of grain is enough for our family to eat for four or five months."
Zhou Guo asked: "Aunt, how many people are there in your family? Is this food enough for you to eat for four or five months?"
After giving her a portion of it, there won’t be that much left, right?
The woman smiled contentedly, "Eight mouths, after the wheat is harvested, we can plant a crop of beans, and there won't be any hard work. We can eat thin food every day. When we have nothing to do, we can eat two meals a day. Can't that feed us for four or five months?"
Zhou Guo suddenly felt the two eggs in his arms were very hot. After hesitating for a while, he decided that the eggs were not good.
She took out half a bag of snacks from her bag and handed it to her, saying, "Aunt, I don't have anything good on me, so give this snack to your child. It's quite delicious."
The woman quickly stuffed it back, "How can that be? How can I take your food? Take it back and eat it yourself. Your village is far away from ours. You won't eat it even if I ask you to. This snack is your lunch, right? How can I take your lunch?"
Zhou Guo waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We brought lunch with us. This is what we had on the road when we had nothing to do. We just ate a few pieces. I hope you don't mind."
"Ah, don't mind, don't mind. The food in Mr. Zhou's house must be good. I would like to thank you on behalf of my child. Take care."
Zhou Guo and his companion pulled the ox cart to the next house.
This time, no matter what other people gave her, she refused to accept anything, and she had no more snacks to give.
Those dim sum are so expensive, a pack of them costs 300 wen, I can't bear to eat them myself, eh...
The one next to me was even more pitiful. He ate two pieces in total and was thinking of eating two more pieces on the way back, but he watched them all gone.
Zhou Guo comforted him, "It's okay, next time I'll buy a few packs and secretly give you one."
The young man blushed and said quickly, "Master, no need, no need, just give it to me. If I want to eat, I can buy it myself."
Zhou Guo sighed, "You don't know, this is the best-selling product of their family. It's a craft passed down from our ancestors. It's a small workshop, and the whole family can only make so much every day. The quantity is limited, and it's very difficult to buy. You have to queue for a long time. This is the last pack."
Two eggs for half a pack of snacks. It turns out that there are some bargains that you just can’t take advantage of.
The young man saw through it and said, "Master, it's okay. When I'm done with this busy period, I'll go to the county town to look after the shop. I'll stay there every day and bring it back to you if I buy anything."
Zhou Guo said happily: "That's great, I'll give you money when you buy it back, but each person can only buy two bags a day."
The two men successfully collected the remaining food from a few families and returned.
We stopped for lunch. Although there were no snacks, there was meat.
When she arrived at the farm, Old Master Zhao had already gone back.
Li said, "It's wheat harvest time now. His family has thousands of acres of land and they are busy. He just had lunch and left. How could he stay longer?"
"Where is my master? Where is my master?"
Li said, "I went to the countryside with your elder brother to collect grain. Nanshui Village is so far away, but you didn't mind being tired."
Zhou Guo smiled and asked, "Mom, isn't my sister-in-law in Nanshui Village? My brother has been to Nanshui Village to collect grain these two days. Has he met my sister-in-law?"
Li was amused when talking about this, "How come we haven't met? He got up early in the morning and went into the kitchen. He packed several large boxes of meat, steamed buns, candies and snacks. The two of them went to collect food, and when they came back, there was nothing left. He was beaming with joy."
Zhou Guo said: "That's good. If they have a good relationship, the family will be better."
It took four days of work from more than a dozen villages to collect all the grain.
On the last day, villagers came one after another to return the grain.
Li said politely, "Why are you in such a hurry? The grain at home hasn't been harvested yet. It won't be too late to return it after that."
"How can that be possible? Other villages have already harvested the crops. How can we, who live right next door, lag behind? If people from other villages find out, they'll think our village is shirking its responsibility and doesn't want to pay back. I can't do that. I'll still have to come back next year to collect fertilizer. You don't know, we have more than nine acres of land. Forget about the kid's father. After we harvest all of it, we should be able to harvest nearly six stone more grain than last year, all thanks to your fertilizer!"
Li smiled and said, "That still depends on you. Even if you have fertilizer, you have to be willing to spend it. When you bought fertilizer, you bought 12 stone of fertilizer. The more fertilizer you use, the higher the grain harvest will be."
