"Mayor Zhao, thank you for your hard work!"
Chang Desheng saw Zhao Xiangdong and immediately came up to him, his weathered face burst into laughter.
"Village Chief, this is my classmate Mi Li, but he is a big Internet celebrity and sells a lot of goods online." Zhao Xiangdong turned to point at Mi Li and said: "Old classmate, this is the village chief."
"Mi, Mi Internet celebrity, welcome, welcome."
Chang Desheng stretched out his calloused hand and held Mi Li's hand together, shaking it vigorously.
The group of people walked towards the village committee amid laughter and laughter. When we arrived at the village committee, we saw five or six men and women waiting in the courtyard carrying walnuts they had grown at home.
"Mayor Zhao, these families are representatives of the village, and they are also villagers who grow a lot of walnuts. Please try it."
Chang Desheng reached out and grabbed a handful of walnuts from the bamboo basket and stuffed them into their hands.
I held the rice grains in my hands, and the walnut skin broke. After tasting it, my eyes widened, as if I didn't believe it, and I ate the remaining half, and then said happily: "Not bad, not bad, this is The best walnuts I have ever tasted. Well, they are tender, crisp and sweet, not astringent or bitter like those sold in the market.”
Zhao Xiangdong said happily: "I'm not exaggerating, am I? The walnuts in Dawa Village have a good taste."
In order to prove the authenticity, Mi Li went to taste the walnuts of several other villagers and felt that Zhao Xiangdong was not exaggerating.
"Okay, it's delicious! Xiangdong, can I sell walnuts live now?"
Mi Li agreed immediately.
"Of course you can. But wait a moment and I'll talk to the village chief about your commission."
Zhao Xiangdong patted Mi Li on the shoulder.
Zhao Xiangdong waved to several villagers and said immediately: "Village chief, uncles and aunts, what do you think the price of walnuts should be per pound?" "
The village chief frowned and said to several villagers: "I'm so happy, Uncle Third, you can order your own walnuts and that's it."
"Village chief, you decide."
"Yes, they are all grown at home, and the price is about the same."
"Village Chief, we don't know what's going on outside, so it's up to you to decide."
The villagers looked at the village chief and said.
"Two months ago, I heard Erni say that our paper-skinned pecans sold in supermarkets cost 24 yuan per catty, so we can price them at 20 yuan per catty, okay?"
"Twenty yuan a pound? That's a lot."
The eyes of a red-faced man showed bright light.
After the village chief Chang Desheng finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Xiangdong.
"Let's do it, add one yuan for every catty. Village chief, uncles and aunts, you know that finding someone to do something can't be done in vain. Do you think it's okay to give the extra dollar to this internet celebrity?"
Zhao Xiangdong thought for a while and said.
"Yes, how could I forget this? Mayor Zhao, and you, I will give you one yuan for every catty."
Chang Desheng reacted and said.
"No, no, I can't have it. I represent the town government. Helping you sell walnuts is also part of our town government's work. We are paid for our work."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and explained again and again.
After reaching an agreement, Zhao Xiangdong told Mi Li about the commission.
"Xiangdong, I don't want it. I'm here to do live broadcasts, not to make money, but to help you, my buddy? Don't mention the commission."
Mi Li refused to accept it.
Zhao Xiangdong smiled and wanted to persuade him a few more words. When he turned on the live broadcast, he had to stop.
"Hello everyone! Dear relatives, today I came to Dawa Village, Liuhe Town, which has beautiful scenery and fresh air. The village is rich in paper-bark walnuts..."
While Mi Li was broadcasting live, he focused his camera on the walnuts in the basket.
Just as everyone was waiting with excitement, Mi Li turned around and made a victory gesture. Zhao Xiangdong walked over and took a look at the wine, his eyes widened, and he patted the rice grains excitedly.
Then, Zhao Xiangdong turned around and walked up to the village chief and said, "It has been sold, and the number is still rising."
"Ah! Just sold it like this?"
"But Mayor Zhao, aren't my walnuts still in this box?"
"My family is here too."
Several villagers looked at the walnuts in the box with confused faces, and then looked at Zhao Xiangdong.
"Haha, uncle, aunt, the buyer's money has been transferred to Mili's account. Mili will hand over the walnut money to you in a while, and then we will send it to you according to the quantity purchased by the buyer."
Zhao Xiangdong patiently explained the villagers' doubts.
"What do you know? This is high technology! Especially you, Old Zhao, who only knows how to tinker with having a baby after dark, and doesn't know how to spare time to read the news."
Chang Desheng pointed at the red-faced man.
"Ha ha!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Zhao Xiangdong couldn't help but laugh. It took him a while to stop laughing and asked: "Village chief, have you sent someone to buy packaging boxes?"
Chang Desheng said hurriedly: "Go, go, I sent people there just now when we were at the entrance of the village."
Zhao Xiangdong nodded and said: "Village chief, in order to sell each villager's walnuts in an orderly manner, please use the village radio to announce that the villagers should carry the walnuts to the village committee and sell their own walnuts on a first-come, first-served basis. Come early." Sell early, sell late.”
Chang Desheng nodded and said: "Mayor Zhao, you are still thoughtful. Okay, I will go to the radio to inform the villagers."
At this moment, Yang Dehui also came to the village committee and said: "Mayor Zhao, why didn't you call me when you came? Come to my house for lunch."
Zhao Xiangdong smiled lightly and said, "I was worried that something would happen to you, so I didn't tell you. You came just in time. Write a number on a piece of paper, from one to one hundred, and give it to whoever comes first."
At noon, the villagers all came to the village committee carrying walnuts on their backs. Since they were in a hurry, they had a bucket of instant noodles each for lunch.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, under the promotion of rice grains, 5,600 kilograms of walnuts had been sold.
The village chief Chang Desheng looked at his watch and discussed with Zhao Xiangdong, then picked up the loudspeaker and said: "Folks, since it is getting late, we will not buy walnuts today. We will come back to the village committee early tomorrow morning with the serial numbers. "
After the live broadcast, Zhao Xiangdong thought about going to the county town with Mi Li for dinner, but the villagers stopped him and refused to let him go.
"Mayor Zhao, you've been tired all day. You have to eat before you leave."
"That's right, Mayor Zhao, the food is ready."
"Mayor Zhao, Miwanghong, if you don't eat here today, none of you will be able to leave."
Several villagers stopped them, and there were no sweet words, only simple and heart-warming words.
Seeing this, Zhao Xiangdong and Mi Li looked at each other and smiled helplessly, and said, "Okay, let's make it simple, just eat enough. By the way, there is a colleague of mine in the van at the intersection..."
The village director hurriedly took the call and said, "You don't have to worry about it. I'll call someone...Xiaobao, Xiaobao, go to the entrance of the village and call the uncle in the car to come and have dinner."
After hearing this, Xiaobao, who was twelve or thirteen years old, immediately jumped up and down with his friends and ran towards the entrance of the village.
At around eleven o'clock in the night, Zhao Xiangdong returned to the dormitory, washed himself and went to bed. After a tiring day, he fell asleep soon after lying on the bed.
Suddenly, the mobile phone on the table rang. Zhao Xiangdong, who was sleeping with his eyes closed, touched the mobile phone and swiped to connect, saying: "Hey, who is it? It's the middle of the night..."
Chen Qi's fearful voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiangdong, come to my room quickly, I'm scared."
When Zhao Xiangdong heard Chen Qi's voice, he immediately woke up and said, "You, what's wrong with you..."
Zhao Xiangdong didn't bother to get dressed, so he jumped out of bed and walked out. Opening her door, a soft body fell into his arms, with a pleasant fragrance.
"Xiangdong, I just had a nightmare!"
Chen Qi said fearfully.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhao Xiangdong felt her whole body shaking and kept patting her back to comfort her.
"Hold me, take me to bed, I have a headache."
Chen Qi's seductive voice was hard to refuse.
