Chapter 25 Public Opinion in the Village
With money, a few people will naturally not treat themselves badly.
After working all morning, several people were already hungry, so they found a restaurant that looked good, and they were ready to eat.
In the county town, the quality of the restaurant is actually average, and the taste is definitely not comparable to the ones at home, but the advantages are that the dishes are novel and the portions are large. I ordered a few hard dishes, and the food was hearty.
It didn't cost two hundred yuan to eat a meal, which was very affordable.
However, when Da Zhuang and the others knew that they had eaten nearly 200 yuan for a meal, their faces were all overwhelmed. Da Zhuang still couldn't believe that he had eaten so much.
If this is in a village, two hundred yuan can feed a person for a month.
Seeing Da Zhuang like this, Li Xiao said, "Don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner."
Hearing this, Da Zhuang scratched his head, a little embarrassed, and quickly said: "Brother Xiao, I didn't mean that."
Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this little money won't make me poor."
Seeing what Li Xiao said, they gave up.
After going back and forth all the way, Li Xiao and the others finally returned to the village. It was almost dusk at this time, and the villagers who had just been busy all day were rushing home from the fields.
When they saw the dusty Li Xiao and the others, they came over almost immediately.
"Li Xiao, have you sold your fungus?"
"Brother Xiao, how much did you earn?"
"Da Zhuang, how much money can you share?"
All of a sudden, various questions came from the mouths of the villagers.
Da Zhuang took out the envelope that Li Xiao had kept all the time, with a triumphant face, pointed to the thickness of the envelope, and said, "Did you see that, this is the money we earned on this trip."
"Such a drum? How much does it cost?"
"It can't be fake, can it?"
"Maybe it's all ten yuan inside?"
Hearing the doubts of the villagers, Da Zhuang's expression turned ugly.
Da Zhuang sneered in his heart: You guys, Brother Xiao had good intentions to take you to make money, but in the end you were lucky, afraid of this and afraid of that, and regarded Brother Xiao's kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. Now that we are making money, you are cynicizing here again, you deserve it!
snort!
Da Zhuang snorted coldly, then took out four stacks of sealed hundred-yuan bills from the envelope, and said triumphantly, "Did you see that, a total of 39,400 yuan, not a cent more, not a cent less!"
After finishing speaking, he took a stack of hundred-yuan bills in his hand, and flicked them a few times in the other palm, making a crackling sound.
Seeing the hundred-yuan bill in Da Zhuang's hand, the villagers' eyes widened.
This is real money! Looking at the thickness, there are at least ten thousand.
These guys actually made a lot of money by picking fungus!
The villagers suddenly fell into silence. They were stunned by the renminbi in Da Zhuang's hands. For these miserable villagers, the impact of so much money was no less than an atomic bomb explosion.
Now that the money has been taken out, Li Xiao took advantage of the opportunity to divide it up. He unsealed the money and gave each of the big and small kings sixty-five hundred-yuan bills.
Six thousand five hundred!
When Li Xiao distributed the money, the villagers just watched helplessly. Especially seeing that each of them earned 6,500 yuan, the villagers were full of envy and jealousy.
Grandma, these people are making money too fast.
A young villager sighed: "I didn't expect them to make money."
"Yes, 6,500 yuan, which is as fast as I earn in a year, but it only took one day."
"Envy has a fart. They trade their lives for it. Don't forget, they are the fungus picked in the deep mountains and old forests. This time they were lucky and didn't encounter danger. What about next time? Although six thousand five is a lot , but it's a game of life."
Back home, Li Xiao gave Zhao Tiantian and Huang Rong 6,500 yuan each, but the two daughters were also very excited.
The next day, Li Xiao and the others went up the mountain again. At dusk, when they came back from the mountain, they still had a good harvest.
Although the villagers were envious, no one said anything. They all knew the dangers of the deep mountains and old forests, and they didn't encounter danger twice in a row. This only shows that they were lucky.
As a result, each earned more than 6,000 yuan.
On the fourth day, Li Xiao and the others returned home again with no injuries.
This time, the villagers couldn't sit still, especially the young people in the village, they regretted it.
After working, several villagers sat together, talking about the affairs of Li Xiao and the others.
"This is already the third time! It's not good luck to go into the deep mountain three times without getting injured. Maybe brother Xiao really found a way to go into the mountain without danger."
"Yeah, watching them make money every day, I'm going crazy. It's more than 6,000 a day. Now they've earned nearly 20,000. I can't even sleep at night."
"Grandma, it's all because of Luo Sicheng, that old bastard. If it wasn't for him, I would have already entered the mountain with Brother Xiao."
"I want to go to the mountains with Brother Xiao now, but I don't know if Brother Xiao can agree?"
"Go ask, Brother Xiao is not that kind of person."
Similar conversations happened more than once in Ning Village. After seeing Li Xiao and the others making a lot of money, the villagers finally couldn't sit still.
Of course, what followed was that Luo Sicheng's reputation in the village became worse and worse, to the point where everyone shouted and beat him up.
From the perspective of the villagers, the reason why they did not earn any money was because of Luo Sicheng's obstruction. This guy is full of thoughts, he can't make money, and he doesn't want others to make money!
In the past few days, the life of Li Xiao's family is almost the same as that of Chinese New Year, there is meat every meal, and Li Xiao's face is full of greasy food.
On this day, when Li Xiao returned to the village from the county seat, he found that the villagers' attitude towards them had changed significantly.
After eating, Li Xiao was ready to rest.
For Ning Village, nights are extremely boring, and many villagers don't have TVs at all. When it gets dark, if you have a wife, you can still do something beneficial to your body and mind, but those who are single can only sleep.
At this moment, an old man with gray hair walked into the house.
Seeing this old man, Li Daozheng quickly took out a stool and said, "Third Brother, it's so late, why are you here?"
The third brother put the two pheasants on the ground, smiled, and said, "Didn't my kid hunt some pheasants in the mountains? I'm too old to chew on those pheasants, so I brought them to you."
Li Daozheng shook his head, and said, "Third brother, you have something to do, you just talk about it, our relationship doesn't need to send anything."
In the village, Third Brother and Li Daozheng have a good relationship.
The third brother was a little embarrassed, he smiled a little, and said: "Daozheng, I just came to ask if there is still a shortage of people for your kid to go up the mountain? I want my kid to go up the mountain with Li Xiao."
After finishing speaking, the third brother looked at Li Daozheng expectantly.
