Chapter 612: Buying fat and selling your indenture?
Someone said: "We know, we can afford it."
After all, one stone is only one hundred and eighty coins.
Zhou Guo nodded, "I know you can all afford it, but it's useless to have so much fertilizer now. You can't use it all at once. In more than a month, the second batch of fertilizer will come out, and it can catch up with the second crop of fertilizer in the field. It will be the same if you come to get it then. We are all from the same hometown, right? We will see each other every day. You never know when someone will come to ask for help. If you do too much now, how will you meet in the future? You can't use it when you take it back, so it will be convenient for others to save it for the people behind you."
No one spoke.
After a while, a skinny woman asked, "Are you sure there's more behind? What if there's nothing?"
"Yeah, what should we do if it's gone?"
Zhou Guo then realized that what they were worried about was that they would not be able to take advantage of this later, so they wanted to get more at once.
He smiled and said, "We have already started fermenting the second batch of fertilizer. As you can see, this farm is not small, and it is used for fermenting fertilizer. There are so many people in our family waiting to eat. How can we eat if we don't work? Our family is not like the big guys, who have so much land. We only have more than ten acres, and that little land can't feed so many mouths!"
After hearing what she said, everyone believed it a little bit, because they heard that the Zhou family didn't have much land.
Someone said, "Okay, I don't want 10 stones anymore, I'll just take 5 stones. If it's not enough later, I'll come back in a month or so."
Zhou Guo quickly said, "Thank you, uncle."
He turned to Hu Zi and said, "Go, prepare it for this gentleman."
Hu Zi said excitedly: "Yes!"
The fat guy and his friends brought in tables, chairs, benches, pens, ink, paper and inkstone.
Zhou Guo sat down on the chair.
Everyone was looking at this scene in astonishment, not knowing what she was going to do. Why were they buying fertilizer and writing words?
"What are you doing? Why do we have to sign a contract to sell ourselves just to buy something?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Let everyone know that there are too many people who want to buy fertilizer, and each of you has bought a lot. We have to deliver it to each family later. We don't have so many people at home, and we are afraid that we will deliver it to the wrong person.
So I need to know which village each of you lives in, what your name is, and how much fertilizer you asked for, so that I don’t make a mistake. Otherwise, if I don’t have a clear account, I will put the account of the east family on the west family, and then I can’t make it clear. Then you guys will suffer, right? "
Everyone nodded when they heard this, "Yes, yes, remember, don't take my fertilizer to other people's homes. If my family doesn't have fertilizer and they ask me to pay back the grain, I won't do that."
"You're talking as if we're the ones to do it. I'll go first. My name is Li Chutou..."
Zhou Guo buried his head and began to write.
After writing, he stood up and showed it to Li Chutou, "Come, uncle, come and take a look. If everything is ok, just press your fingerprint and the fat will be yours. No one can take it away from you."
When Li Chutou heard that he had to press his fingerprints, he was a little hesitant until he heard the last two sentences. He then strode forward, looked carefully for a long while, and said with a chuckle, "I don't know any of them."
Everyone laughed.
"Don't you know that you are looking so serious?! You are just pretending!"
"I thought you knew a few words, and I was wondering when you learned to read. But after all this time, you were just pretending!"
Li Chutou chuckled.
Wu Jiang and others couldn't help laughing.
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know it. I'll teach you. Look, this is your name, Li, Chu, Tou, this is the name of your village, this is Wu, and the last one is Shi..."
He taught me word by word without any hesitation. Li Chutou read it very carefully. This was the first time he saw his own name since he was a child. He read it very carefully. "So this is Li Chutou. I have called him Li Chutou for half my life, but I only saw what it looks like today."
In view of Zhou Guo's patience, Li Chutou readily pressed his fingerprints.
When everyone saw that he was done, someone was quick to rush to the front, rushed to Zhou Guo and said hurriedly: "My name is Li Tieguo, I am Li Tiechui's eldest brother, we have separated, I want six stones, let me see how I, Li Tieguo, am written."
Zhou Guo said: "No hurry, take your time."
After a while, Li Tieguo left with satisfaction.
The people behind came up one after another, and started talking at once about their names and the village they lived in.
Zhou Guo stretched out his hands and pressed them, and said loudly: "No hurry, for the sake of convenience, come one village at a time, whoever is from the same village as Li Tiechui and Li Tieguo, come first."
"I, I, I, I'm from the same village as them, hehe."
She was taking notes in the front, while Wu Jiang and his men were loading carts of things behind, even bringing the family's three ox carts and horse carts.
After the truck was loaded, Wu Jiang walked up to the two brothers, Li Tiechui and Li Tieguo, and said, "Gentlemen, the fat is ready for you. When do you think I can take it back?"
"It's ready already?" The two brothers were stunned. They looked at the dozen trucks of fat trucks in the back and were stunned. "Are these all ours?"
so much? !
Wu Jiang smiled and said, "They are both for you two. Do you want me to send them back now?"
Li Tieguo waved his hand and said, "Send it back, send it back. We will go with you so we can get a ride."
Wu Jiang was the chief steward, so naturally he couldn't go with them. So he sent ten people to go with them, with each person in charge of a cart, and the ox carts set off with a clatter.
Everyone had never seen such a scene before, more than a dozen cars were out at the same time, shocking everyone speechless for a moment. They were really envious. To have so many cars together, they must be from a wealthy family. It would be great if they had one.
The brothers Li Tiechui and Li Tieguo walked out of the crowd proudly, walking at the front with their heads held high, as if the convoy belonged to them.
Zhou Guo looked at the convoy, then at the huge crowd of people, and felt a headache. Two people occupied her convoy. How long would it take to transport so many people?
Even if we work day and night, it will probably take ten days or half a month.
Looks like I'll have to rent a car.
She was thinking and counting at the same time, and it took her more than an hour to finish. Mainly because after writing, she still had to teach these people to recognize words, one word at a time. Some of those who learn slowly have to be taught a word over ten times before they can remember it.
Zhou Guo didn't feel annoyed and was still cheerful.
Wu Jiang and Hu Zi followed and took notes silently.
Zhou Guo accidentally looked up and was stunned when he saw the two of them.
"Boy, when will you deliver our fertilizer?"
Zhou Guo said, "We have to go from village to village. Don't worry. The villages are not far apart. The convoy can go back and forth in half an hour. We can make many trips a day. I will rent a few more vehicles later, and it will be even faster. Don't worry, it will not delay your crops."
