After hearing Xiao Ran's words, the old man disagreed.
"We specialize in the textile business, is it possible that you want us to change careers?"
Xiao Ran shook his head: "Of course not. These can also be used as gifts. They are also a major feature of our store, right?"
"Yan Hong, do you also think this is inappropriate?"
Many modern clothing stores will provide some scented tea for female customers to use or even sell.
Xiao Ran felt that this was also a good business opportunity, and even a way to differentiate it from other stores.
"If you don't differentiate yourself, how can you compare with other stores?"
To put it bluntly, the raw materials are almost the same. To stand out, sometimes more creativity is needed.
"Differentiation?" Chu Yanhong seemed to understand.
Seeing that Xiao Ran had already spoken out, they could only give it a try.
"These peach groves can only be purchased twice a year. It doesn't cost much, so just give it a try." Chu Yanhong's trust in Xiao Ran deepened.
"Hey, thank you, madam!"
Xiao Ran was a little excited and kissed Chu Yanhong's cheek.
"You!" Chu Yanhong covered her face.
The old man was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "Hahaha! That's all, just go with it. There is nothing wrong with young people being brave enough to try."
Xiao Ran smiled, a little annoyed.
"Okay, that's it." The old man stood up.
Now that the entire Chu family has been handed over to Chu Yanhong, Chu Yanhong thinks there is no problem, and the old man does not want to ask any more questions.
Several people were a little tired after running all day. After eating, they all went back to rest.
the next day.
Li Hua came to the door early and promised the old man that he would be responsible for their travel during this period.
With a doctor taking care of me at home, I can feel more at ease.
Suddenly, the village called for a meeting.
Li Hua was still a little confused, but seeing that Xiao Ran hadn't gotten up yet, he followed the villagers to the meeting.
Arriving at the ancestral hall, almost everyone arrived.
After hearing the village chief's next words, Li Hua understood.
Someone wants to buy peach blossoms and peaches. Xiao Ran and the others just finished it yesterday. Who else is there besides them?
"No, this is too dangerous."
"Yes, and it's still so far away. It will take a lot of time and energy for us to move it back and forth."
…
The villagers felt that this was not feasible. After all, it would take most of the day just to go back and forth, and the sun was about to set before the work was even done.
"But they also said that this time they will still pay a higher price than the market price."
But even so, it's still not very cost-effective.
"As for transportation issues, they will help us solve them."
After hearing this, the villagers still didn't buy it.
"It's useless to solve it. The distance is here. It takes us a lot of time to set off and come back every day, and we can't do much work."
"That's right, why not raise silkworms? Mulberry leaves won't be a hassle either."
Others agreed one after another, but for a while, no one agreed.
"Everyone has a lot of concerns, and I can understand it! If everyone doesn't want to do it, then I will refuse, but for other things... I guess the Chu family won't pay any more."
Others hesitated when they heard about money.
Someone with sharp eyes saw Li Hua and shouted, "Isn't there Li Hua? He has a good relationship with the Chu family. Just say a few more good words to us!"
"Yes, I saw Li Hua with the Chu family yesterday!"
Uncle Ding came out: "Eldest nephew, why don't you talk to Xiao Ran?"
The village chief noticed Li Hua and said, "The old man said yesterday that Li Hua is the savior of the Chu family. Isn't this kindness enough to impress the Chu family?"
"Li Hua, you are also a member of Taohua Village. If you ask the Chu family to invest a thousand taels to improve everyone's lives, there should be no problem, right?"
One thousand taels? Li Hua was a little in disbelief.
"This is not good." Li Hua shook his head: "Xiao Ran also helped me a lot."
Besides, he was the one who helped the Chu family. What does it have to do with these people?
"Are you from Peach Blossom Village? You will also live here in the future. You are all from the same village. We don't distinguish between you and me. What's wrong with helping everyone?"
"Look, now your Uncle Ding's house is dilapidated and needs repairs. If the Chu family doesn't pay, how can our life be better?"
With just one word from the village chief, the entire village was put on the backs of the Chu family.
Everyone agreed, saying that Li Hua was no match for them.
Walking out of the ancestral hall in a daze, I couldn't refuse, otherwise it would be difficult for me and my father in Taohua Village once the Chu family left.
When he arrived at the door of Chu's house, the door was open, but Li Hua hesitated.
Xiao Ran was still a little surprised as to why Li Hua came so late today.
Seeing Li Hua standing at the door, Xiao Ran smiled and pulled the person in.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Ran was very grateful to his savior.
Li Hua didn't dare to look at Xiao Ran as he was struggling in his heart.
This expression... Xiao Ran seemed to have guessed something.
"Did something happen?"
Li Hua is only a teenager, and Xiao Ran has always regarded him as a younger brother. Looking at him like this, something must be wrong.
"Is it possible that Uncle Li is feeling uncomfortable again?"
"No! No!" Li Hua shook his head repeatedly, feeling helpless and informed Xiao Ran of what happened in the morning.
"Do you think I should promise you?"
Xiao Ran did not answer, but asked Li Hua.
After being stunned for a while, Li Hua lowered his head: "I know you have saved my father once, and I shouldn't ask for anything from you again."
"Don't worry! I'll make it clear to them when I get back."
"What's wrong?"
As soon as the old man came out, he saw what the two people were talking about, and Li Hua's expression was obviously very bad.
"Did you bully Li Hua?" Mr. Chu looked at the two of them with a smile.
"No." Li Hua said quickly.
"It's okay, let me think about it."
Xiao Ran also suddenly came up with this idea yesterday. In fact, neither the old man nor Chu Yanhong agreed. Xiao Ran thought it was time to think about it carefully.
"Don't worry, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."
With that said, Xiao Ran took out a box and stuffed it into Li Hua's hand: "By the way, this is for you."
"No!" Li Hua was a little surprised.
Looking at Xiao Ran's smile, he put it away.
When everyone was ready, Li Hua took everyone to take a boat ride on the nearby river and fish by the way.
But at the end of the day, Li Hua didn't have a smile on his face.
Even if he smiled occasionally, it was far-fetched and made a few people a little confused.
Back in the village, Chu Yanhong couldn't wait to ask Xiao Ran: "Did something happen to Li Hua? He has been absent-minded all day."
"It's okay, it's just those peach blossoms. The villagers just pushed him out for negotiation."
Chu Yanhong was a little displeased when she learned what happened this morning. These people were so shameless and would do anything they could!
"What's the point of making things difficult for a child? If they can, they'll come to the door themselves!"
