It took two hours to finish the meal, but the villagers were extremely enthusiastic about Tang Shengyuan and Boss Zhang.
Everyone came up to propose a toast, making both of them dizzy.
In the end, Tang Shengyuan couldn't stand it anymore and said that he had to collect vegetables today and couldn't drink too much.
Everyone gave up and the banquet ended half an hour later.
Tang Shengyuan, Boss Zhang and others were sitting in the yard of Jiang Che's house at the moment.
Their faces were red and they smelled of alcohol. Jiang Che gave them some tea to relieve their hangover.
"Xiao Che, the people in your village are so welcoming. I almost couldn't get up when I first came here."
Tang Shengyuan took the towel Tang Tian sent and wiped his face, breathing heavily.
"Uncle Tang, the folks know that you are the boss who buys the vegetables in our Huaxi Village, so why don't they keep you company?"
"In their eyes, you are the biggest victim in the world!"
Jiang Che pursed his lips and joked, vegetables cost five yuan a pound.
It's more than ten times more expensive than what's on the market, but the actual price is far more.
Jiang Che knew how much a plate of these vegetables cost in a hotel in the provincial capital, and Tang Tian told him.
The reason why I told the villagers that I would buy it for five yuan a pound was entirely to take care of the villagers' emotions.
Because most of the villagers have not received much education, a sudden windfall from the sky will inevitably frighten everyone.
So what Jiang Che told the old village chief was to temporarily deposit the price difference of vegetables in the village committee's account.
Once everyone's mentality has been adjusted and all the villagers' children have returned, then distribute the money bit by bit.
At that time, it depends on everyone’s choice whether to build a house or invest.
After all, Jiang Che plans to build a vegetable Dapeng in the village in the future. If the villagers want to take shares, Jiang Che will be very happy to bring everyone together to make money.
"Hahaha, you kid, you didn't spread the word."
Tang Shengyuan smiled and pointed at Jiang Che. Buying vegetables for five yuan a pound is not a big deal in the eyes of the villagers.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Che, these pets in your home seem to be extraordinary!"
After taking a sip of tea, Tang Shengyuan looked curiously at the black beans, kidney beans and Hongyun playing in the yard.
Boss Zhang also looked at him with a strange expression.
These pets are not like those that ordinary people can keep!
"Uncle Tang, the two white guys are variants of weasels, and the red ones are wild red foxes in the mountains."
"By chance, a few of them settled in my house. I don't usually keep them, but if they don't leave, I just keep them."
Jiang Che smiled and explained a little. Boss Zhang and Tang Shengyuan nodded blankly, that's okay too!
"Xiao Che, you are really brave. You dare to raise protected animals. Aren't you afraid that the people above will know?"
Tang Shengyuan saw the red fox's eyes twitching. He remembered that red foxes could not be bred privately.
Jiang Che is now his most important partner, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Jiang Che at this time.
"Don't worry, Uncle Tang. The comrades from the Forestry Bureau already know about it. I have already found someone to apply for the permit. I believe it will be here soon."
Jiang Che waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"That's good, that's good. Let's go see how the vegetables are doing."
"There are a lot of things going on in the store. Next time I have time, I will come to your place to have a good few days."
Tang Shengyuan was almost sober and stood up, ready to take a look at his vegetables.
Tang Shengyuan drank too much just now, so Su Yan left the task of collecting the vegetables on his behalf.
"Brother Zhang, if you're not busy, please wait a moment. I'll send Uncle Tang over. We'll have a chat later. I just have something to ask you."
"No problem, go and do your work. I'm still a little dizzy."
Jiang Che nodded, and then took Tang Shengyuan and Tang Tian to the vegetable field.
Su Yan and her parents, uncle and aunt are helping to collect the vegetables.
The folks had prepared everything two days ago, and this time it was a bumper harvest of vegetables!
One acre of land has a yield of at least 3,500 kilograms. One kilo costs five yuan, and one acre of land costs 17,500 yuan!
And all this money is pure profit. There are no pesticides or fertilizers, and even the seeds are provided by Jiang Che.
In order to distribute money to everyone, there is an electronic scale and several trucks in the field.
There are stacks of red banknotes on the counter's table, and all the money is settled in cash.
The villagers got so much money that their hands were trembling with dismay. This was real money to turn around!
In the past, when Jiang Che said the purchase price was only five yuan, everyone just thought it was a big profit. Now holding a thick wad of banknotes, the impact is too strong.
The villagers in the village all won at least three acres of land. This time, the per capita income is at least more than 60,000.
Tang Shengyuan and Su Yan knew that it was inconvenient for villagers to go to the streets to withdraw money, so they decided to settle in cash.
When Jiang Che came over, he happened to be collecting vegetables from the third aunt's house.
This time, the third aunt was more courageous. Their family planted four acres of vegetables.
A thick stack of banknotes was placed in the third aunt's hand, and the third aunt took it tremblingly.
"Auntie, this is your food money, please order it."
Su Yan said with a smile.
"Okay... okay, thank you, girl."
The third aunt spat on her fingers, walked over and counted the money carefully, her hands trembling as she did so.
Those who didn’t know better thought they had cramps in their hands.
"Hey, Third Aunt has made a fortune. How many kilograms of vegetables did you harvest this time?"
Jiang Che saw his third aunt counting money and stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, the third aunt raised her head and glared at Jiang Che, and said unhappily.
"You kid, didn't you see me counting the money? I have to count it again. Go and play."
The third aunt pushed Jiang Che away in disgust, turned her back and started counting again happily.
"Xiao Che, the vegetables you grow are of good quality, juicy and have a unique taste."
"It's sweet, but it seems a little spicy?"
Tang Shengyuan came over, pinched a vegetable leaf, put it into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and said doubtfully.
"Pfft, hahaha, Dad, these vegetables have been soaked in chili pepper water, can they not be spicy?"
Tang Tian covered his stomach and laughed. It hadn't rained in the past two days, so there was still a little bit of pepper water left.
"Pepper water, what's going on?"
Tang Shengyuan asked immediately.
Tang Tian immediately smiled and told the story about the worms on the vegetables, and Tang Shengyuan nodded in realization.
"Xiao Che is really good. Thank you for thinking of using this method to repel insects."
Tang Shengyuan gave Jiang Che a thumbs up. This method is good. There is no need to worry about pesticide residues in these vegetables.
"Thank you, uncle. There is a little bit of pepper water left. Uncle, go back and wash it for a while and it will be fine."
Jiang Che touched his nose awkwardly and said.
While a few people were chatting, Su Yan had finished her work and collected all the vegetables in the village.
Everyone received their share of the money, and the old man was as excited as a child.
I have never thought that growing vegetables can actually bring in such money. The fields here are almost filled with banknotes!
