Chapter 17 Confidence
After seeing Li Xiao's confident expression, Ling Bingbing panicked.
Did he really let him know the way to make the villagers rich?
Doesn't that mean that he really wants to lose the bet? Ling Bingbing couldn't imagine, how could a kid from a mountain village find a way to get rich?
Ling Bingbing suppressed the panic in her heart, pretended to be calm and said: "What way?"
Li Xiao took out something, put it on Ling Bingbing's table, and said, "This is it!"
Seeing the things on the table, Ling Bingbing frowned: "This is it, fungus?"
Li Xiao nodded and said, "That's right, it's fungus!"
Before Li Xiao could speak, Ling Bingbing refused, "No!"
"Why not?" Li Xiao was a little puzzled.
Ling Bingbing's expression was a bit ugly, she stared into Li Xiao's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Other things are fine, but the fungus is not good!"
Li Xiao's face was a little gloomy, and he said, "I want to know the reason."
Ling Bingbing said: "Before I came to Ning Village, I had studied the information of this village. Back then, someone collected fungus at a high price in the village. In order to make money, the villagers went to the mountains to pick fungus, and three people died in the end! Li Xiao, you should You know, those three people are the strong laborers of the family, and the death of three people means the destruction of three families!"
Li Xiao nodded, of course he knew, even better than Ling Bingbing knew.
Because one of them is still Li Xiao's friend.
Ling Bingbing continued: "Since that time, the villagers have restrained themselves a bit, but they still haven't forgotten the temptation of the fungus. The fungus in the mountainous area near the village has basically been lighted. The fungus you mentioned must be in the deep mountains right?"
Li Xiao continued to nod.
Ling Bingbing said: "You Li Xiao is a capable person, I know, but have you ever thought that there are countless dangers in the deep mountains. If the villagers encounter danger after entering the deep mountains, who will be responsible?"
"But the problem is that there is no danger!" Li Xiao argued hard.
He had already greeted Gray Wolf Ada, and guarded around the road to prevent other dangerous animals from appearing nearby.
Li Xiao believed in Ah Da, and there would definitely be no danger!
Ling Bingbing thought that Li Xiao was being stubborn, and said, "How can you guarantee that there is no danger?"
Li Xiao didn't know how to answer. Did he tell Ling Bingbing that he could communicate with animals and let a gray wolf recognize his master?
He believed that once he told Ling Bingbing about this, Ling Bingbing would treat him as a fool.
Li Xiao said seriously: "I can't guarantee it, but I know there is no danger there. Village Chief Ling, don't forget, I am also from Ning Village, and I will not joke about the lives of the villagers!"
Li Xiao's words are sincere, and there is a convincing power in them.
Ling Bingbing also knows that the price of wild fungus is very high. If the villagers can really pick some, they can really make a lot of money. When the new year comes, it will not be so difficult.
Indeed, as Li Xiao said, this is a rare opportunity.
In fact, what Li Xiao has done has been benevolent. After all, wild fungus is rare, and it is even more difficult to find the place where it is produced.
Li Xiao obviously could not tell anyone, and slowly picked the fungus by himself, believing that he would definitely make a lot of money, but he gave the news selflessly, which really made Ling Bingbing look at him with admiration!
If Li Xiao knew what Ling Bingbing was thinking at the moment, he would definitely pat her on the head, girl, you think too much!
Li Xiao just didn't pay attention to the little money.
There are indeed a lot of fungus, and the price is quite high, but no matter how high the price is, can it compare with wild ginseng?
It is no exaggeration to say that the wild ginseng that Li Xiao got is worth far more than those fungus, not to mention that Li Xiao has his own plans.
Ning Village, a small square.
It is said to be a small square, but it is actually a grain drying field.
During the harvest season, villagers often spread the grain to dry in the grain drying field, so the ground here is very clean and flat.
The drying field is about the size of two basketball courts. In the center of the drying field, there is a log about seven or eight meters high. On the top of the log, there is a broadcast horn that has already been rusted.
Whenever there is any big event or small love in Ning Village, it will be announced through the loudspeaker.
Today, just as the villagers were about to go to work in the fields, the horn suddenly sounded: "Attention all villagers, please gather in the small square, there is something to announce..."
Ling Bingbing's sweet voice spread through the loudspeaker, and immediately spread to every corner of Ning Village.
Ning Village is not big at all, and soon, villagers gathered in the small square from all directions.
The originally quiet small square immediately became lively.
"What do you think our new female village head has to announce in the small square?"
"Who knows, could it be that the poverty alleviation funds from the town government have come down?"
"Stop dreaming, the town government has long since ignored us."
For a while, the villagers were curious about what Ling Bingbing had brought everyone together, and there were many discussions.
About ten minutes later, Ling Bingbing and Li Xiao walked to the small square.
Ling Bingbing said to Li Xiao: "I gathered everyone together, let's talk about things."
Li Xiao nodded.
He came to the front of the villagers and said loudly: "Men and gentlemen, you should know that I brought back two bags of wild fungus yesterday, right?"
"Of course I do."
"We all saw it with our own eyes, and it must weigh two hundred catties!"
"Brother Xiao, how much did you sell for?"
Hearing Li Xiao's question, the villagers immediately started asking questions.
Seeing that the villagers' curiosity was aroused by him, the corner of Li Xiao's mouth curled up. He knew that the matter was mostly successful. He smiled faintly and said, "I sold those fungus for 8,400 yuan!"
As soon as this remark came out, the small square immediately fell into silence.
Eight thousand four hundred?
How could there be so much money?
Many people looked at Li Xiao with envy and jealousy in their eyes.
You know, some of them may not earn as much in a year as Li Xiao does in a day.
Li Xiao continued: "I found a fungus producing area in the mountains."
boom!
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately exploded among the villagers like a bomb.
"Really? The origin of the fungus is only found in the deep mountains!"
"Li Xiao is too powerful!"
"Li Daozheng and his wife are going to enjoy themselves."
Hearing this news, everyone was shocked and said everything.
Li Xiao decided to add fire, and said: "I, Li Xiao, am not a person who eats alone. The area where the fungus is produced is not small, so I want everyone to go pick fungus with me."
"Brother Xiao, are you serious?" Zhang Jialiang asked in a trembling voice.
Li Xiao can understand Xiao Zhuang. Speaking of which, his family's conditions are very bad. His father is sick and can only be bedridden, and all the burdens of the family are concentrated on his mother. The most important thing is that there is a little sister in his family who is studying in the county town. She is a good seedling and is expected to be admitted to university in the future.
For the tuition of their younger sister, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang live in poverty.
Their family desperately needs money.
It was precisely for this reason that Xiao Zhuang was so excited.
Li Xiao took a look at Xiao Zhuang and said, "Brother Xiao, why did I ever lie to you?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuang immediately smiled as if he had taken a reassurance.
At this moment, the villagers looked at Li Xiao full of hope and eagerness.
