Chapter 300: Everyone is taking advantage of us along the way
《My dears, chapter 300 and chapter 301 were uploaded in reverse order. Sorry! Xiao Sheng was a little absent-minded today. My dears, please take a look at the changes!!!》
Everyone came back from work, and the Xiangyun New Village canteen was ready to serve dinner. Before the meal, Yun Dachuan cleared his throat, and then told everyone in detail how much money Yun Duo had spent on buying various tools, oil, salt, seasonings, and other daily necessities today. He explained every expense clearly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Liang couldn't wait to say: "Uncle Yun, you just need to record these things in the future. You don't have to explain everything to everyone. Everyone trusts you and Brother Cui. Everyone is hungry and waiting to eat."
After Chu Liang finished speaking, everyone laughed out loud, "Yes, yes! Fifth Master, just remember it, let's not let Master Yun's family suffer. I'm hungry, let us eat!" A young man from Yunjia Village said loudly.
"Wait a minute before eating, it doesn't matter if you're hungry. I have good news to announce." Yunhe stood up.
"What's the good news? Village chief, tell us now and stop keeping us in suspense."
"Yes, yes! Uncle Village Chief, please tell me quickly."
Yun He at the side immediately spoke up: "The good news is that Master Yun has already bought the seeds. However, regarding our new seeds, all the villagers in Xiangyun New Village must keep it a secret. When you go home, tell your wives and children at home to remember this."
"Don't worry, village chief! Even though we are women, we all know the importance of this matter. We will also warn the children." Chu Liang's wife, Han, assured.
Chu Liang thought for a moment: "Village Chief, Master Yun, such precious seeds must be expensive, right?"
Yunhe cleared his throat and continued, "The seeds are very rare and have not been seen in Dazhao yet. The price of the seeds is also very expensive. However, Yunduo said that she will not charge you for the seeds this time. After the autumn harvest, if the harvest is good, she will take 10% of the silver as a reward! If you don't receive the seeds, just treat them as a gift and don't charge a penny."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, and everyone present was deeply touched.
"That won't do, Village Chief. We can't let the Yun family bear the risk alone. Since Xiangyun New Village is a whole, the risk must be shared equally. Don't you think so?" Chu Liang was worthy of being the village chief. He was very fair in his considerations.
"Yes, village chief, Captain Chu is right. Let's share the risk."
Chu Liang continued, "How about this, Village Chief? We won't record the price of the seeds for now. When the harvest comes, we'll give Miss Yun 10% of the total output. If our efforts this year have gone to waste, we'll just pay for the seeds and share the cost among everyone. Is this feasible?"
Yun Duo looked at this group of simple villagers. They did not feel complacent because she did not ask for money for seeds. Instead, they seemed to be afraid that she would suffer a loss. So she said, "Grandpa Chu, don't worry. Our land will definitely have a good harvest. Give me 10% when the time comes. It is possible that my family will take advantage of everyone."
"Ms. Yun, we all know it. How could it be you who is taking advantage of us? We have been taking advantage of us all along the way." Chu Liang said sincerely.
When everyone heard this, especially the villagers whose families were not well-off to begin with, tears of gratitude welled up in their eyes.
Yunhe was very satisfied with the expressions of the villagers and did not take the Yun family's efforts for granted.
"There is even better news. Today in the county town, my nephew Chen Xi bought 300 pieces of soaked fine cotton cloth at the dock. I saw that the pattern and color are very beautiful, and the soaking is not serious. It is still very good for making clothes after washing. Each piece only costs coins. If you need it, you can go to Xiu Xiu to buy it."
"It's so cheap, it's cotton cloth. Madam scholar, I want two pieces. Can you keep them for me?" the sister-in-law said loudly.
"This linen cloth costs three hundred coins. This is too cheap. I want one too."
The women rushed to buy cloth.
"It's too late today. Anyone who needs cotton cloth can come to me tomorrow. This is what my Chenxi accidentally found at the dock. It's worth it."
"Okay, okay, let's eat first, eat..." Yunhe interrupted the loud voices of a group of women.
Big pot meal: There are steamed buns, rice, and a big pot of stew. Everyone can serve themselves some food and eat together, or they can sit aside and eat alone in a bowl. In short, it is very casual. If there is not enough, there is always more in the big pot. This way of eating makes everyone very satisfied.
Yun Duo sat together with her brothers and sisters. She had the roast duck brought back from the restaurant to be torn into small pieces. She gave the four duck legs to the four youngest ones, Yun Chenxing, Yun Xi, Yun Le'er and Zhang Ling'er; she also gave the arms with more meat to the four younger girls, Yun Ru'er, Yun Ping'er, Qiao'er and Jing'er; and she gave the duck breast to Yun Ji, Yun Yi and Yun An.
Yun Ruer saw that Sister Duoer had given them all the good meat, and the remaining ones were the duck head and duck neck. So she passed the meat she had divided to Yun Duo's mouth: "Sister Duoer, you eat mine."
After Yun Ruer finished speaking, the children all took out their own meat and asked Yun Duo to eat it.
"Sister likes to eat duck heads. These two duck heads belong to her. You are not allowed to fight with her for them. I bought them for you. Eat them quickly."
"What is Brother Xi going to eat?" Yun Xi asked with her greasy mouth open while eating the duck leg in her hand and still thinking about the others.
Yun Duo put a duck neck into Yun Chenxi's bowl and smiled slyly, wanting to see the expression of her second brother who always pretended to be mature.
She knew that Yun Chenxi was picky about food and didn't pay much attention to his appetite. Every time he ate meat, he would just pick the good meat and take a few bites. He wouldn't eat other meat. Even though everyone praised the offal for being delicious, he didn't even touch it with his chopsticks.
Seeing the duck neck his sister gave him with a sly look in her eyes, he smiled helplessly: "Sister, don't be naughty," and then he put the duck neck into Yunxi's bowl: "Brother Xi had lunch at the restaurant at noon, so this duck neck should be given to Brother Xi! The rest is for your sister Duoer, she loves to eat duck necks."
Yun Xi said happily, "Thank you, Brother Xi."
Yun Duo... (Yun Chenxi, you are really filled with black sesame!)
"After dinner, sister has something good to give you."
Yun Le'er: "Sister Duo'er is the best. We all like Sister Duo'er the most."
"Ling'er also likes sister." Zhang Ling'er said not wanting to be outdone.
"Sister knows, let's eat quickly."
Yun Duo gave the other duck neck to Yun An, and the skeleton with meat to Yun Yi.
"Brother Xi, this duck head is also delicious. I can't finish it. Do you want to help me eat the other one?" Seeing that Yun Xi was still hungry, Yun Duo put the other duck head into his bowl.
I don’t know why Yun Duo is particularly partial to this little cousin who loves food: “Thank you, sister Duoer, your roast duck is so delicious. I wish I could eat it every day in the future.”
Yun Ruer looked at this heartless brother and said, "This roast duck is very expensive. It costs a lot of money. You can't always think about eating it. We can taste it thanks to Sister Duoer. Do you still want to eat it every day?"
"Sister, I'm wrong. I don't want to eat anymore. Really, I've eaten enough today."
"Have you really had enough, Xige'er? Then I won't buy any more for you from now on."
Yun Xi tried hard to hold back his saliva and nodded, "No, I won't buy it. Brother Xi isn't greedy anymore."
Yun Duoxiao wanted to laugh when she saw Yun Xi swallowing his saliva. This Xi brother is so cute.
"Haha, how can Xige be so cute! When our new house is built, we will raise more ducks at home. Then sister will make roast duck for you. I guarantee it will be as delicious as this."
"Really, Sister Duoer? That's great! Thank you, Sister Duoer!"
Yun Ruer also smiled at her brother.
