Chapter 147 A bowl of water is flat
The notice issued by the captain shocked many people.

It is said that Gu Wan wants to bring some vegetables to the county town to try and see if he can help everyone increase their income.

Then they had to get up early in the morning to pick, clean and pack the fruits, then use a ox cart to take them to the county town, where Gu Wan would be responsible for finding channels to sell them.

In order to give everyone a little more confidence, Gu Wan naturally would not say that she was also crossing the river by feeling the stones, and would directly promise to sell everything.

Anyway, she has a backup plan, so she can afford it even if she doesn't sell it, but she can't say this to others.

Everyone was shocked for a moment. Is there such a good thing?

Of course, Gu Wan didn't set a price at the beginning, because she didn't know what price the county would give if it purchased vegetables in large quantities.

But she also told everyone clearly that the price of purchasing vegetables from the villagers might be lower than the price of selling them in the county town, generally about 10% lower.

Someone immediately retorted: "Why, do you still want to earn our money?"

The person who spoke was Aunt Liu, the one who had previously had unpleasant disputes with the Gu and Zhang families over the quota for temporary workers in the commune's small kitchen.

Gu Wan's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to smile and say:

"This is not called making money, Third Aunt. I rented a bullock cart to go to the county town, and I have to pay for it first. Also, because I have to sell vegetables in the county town, I also took leave, so my salary will be deducted."

"Isn't this included in the cost? Of course, if Third Aunt thinks it's not worthwhile for me to earn your money, it doesn't matter, you can go to the city to sell vegetables yourself."

As long as you can sell it.

Therefore, Gu Wan's words eliminated the other people's dissenting voices.

It’s not like they haven’t sold it before, so why can’t they sell it?
Many of the vegetables we picked at that time eventually rotted, which was heartbreaking to see.

As a result, when it was still dark the next morning, when Gu Wan got up early and went to the private plots of most people in their team, he found that many people had already arrived.

This is also the reason why the team leader directly chose a family from a squad to pick vegetables. It just so happened that the private plots of several families were next to each other, which was more convenient.

Because this was just an attempt by Gu Wan, no one could guarantee how the situation would turn out, so the captain made it clear when he sent out the notice.

Let’s start with the team where the Gu family is and try it out. If successful, we can help more villagers solve their problems.

"Xiao Gu is doing this to help everyone. She is under a lot of pressure. You must remember Xiao Gu's kindness."

Girls in the village usually have nicknames, such as Daya, Erniu, or something like Hua, Cao, but the commune leaders all call Gu Wan "Comrade Xiao Gu".

The captain found it interesting and ended up calling his niece that. As a result, little Gu became a special person in the Red Flag Brigade.

The most beautiful boy!

Even though the villagers had already conceded that Xiao Gu would not order all the dishes this time, it did not stop many people from coming to watch the fun early in the morning.

So when Gu Wan arrived near the private plot, he already felt it was extremely lively. Even those villagers who did not buy their vegetables took the initiative to lend a helping hand.

The main reason is that Xiao Gu's approach is novel. If it really succeeds, it will be a big surprise for everyone in the Red Flag Brigade.

If Gu Wan had proposed this idea more than a month ago, most villagers would probably have waited and seen, and would not have had much confidence.

But now, there is the successful example of Gu Laosan in front of us. You have to know that those who work with him are now actually getting money and tickets.

Everyone in the Red Flag Brigade was very excited and couldn't wait to join. Gu Wan's credibility in the Red Flag Brigade was very high. It was a pity that many people couldn't do Gu Lao San's job, but they only needed strong labor.

Secondly, the team leader also said that the number of people going up the mountain to collect herbs must be expanded, but this must be done step by step after consultation with the commune leaders and the hospital.

It’s different when it comes to selling vegetables. Nowadays, who’s private plot doesn’t have a variety of vegetables planted in it?
What you can’t finish can be exchanged for money, what a great thing. Some people even think that if they can really sell it, they would rather eat less at home.

The Gu family lives in Team 8, which has no more than ten households in total, but they all grow a lot of vegetables in their private plots.

Moreover, now is the peak season for various vegetables to mature. As a result, everyone worked together and collected about 200 kilograms of fresh vegetables in less than an hour.

According to Gu Wan's request, all the fruits were picked only those that looked good and were tender, and no one objected to this.

No one is a fool. When we go out to buy vegetables, we will definitely prefer to buy the fresher ones.

At a glance, what's left in the field are the ones that are unripe or ripe but of poor quality. Anyway, we won't be picky about those things when we're eating them at home.

Eggplant, cowpea, lentil, spinach, pepper, loofah, leek...

There are so many things, and there are several old pumpkins on the ground, the heads of which are very spectacular.

When all of them were moved onto the ox cart, they looked like a pile like a small mountain. Not only the villagers, but even Gu Baoguo felt a toothache when he saw it.

"Xiao Gu, don't feel too stressed. It's good to be able to sell them. It's okay to take them back if you can't sell them all. We will all remember your kindness."

Because these words were said by the team leader, even if a few people were muttering some bad things in their hearts, they did not dare to say them out loud.

In reality, the team leader has great power in a production team.

In fact, despite the large number of vegetables, including those large pumpkins which weigh over a hundred kilograms in total, Gu Wan more or less understands the market conditions.

Even if they could sell all of them in the county town, they would only be worth about twenty yuan, so Gu Wan couldn't help but sigh.

No wonder everyone is trying to move to the city at this time. The labor force in the countryside is really worthless and their production value cannot be reflected at all.

As far as Gu Wan knew, even if her uncle and her father worked every day and earned full work points, their dividends for the whole year might only be a dozen or twenty yuan.

It is not even as much as a month's salary for an ordinary worker in the county. In fact, she can now pay for all these vegetables with her own money, but she can't say such words out of her mouth.

So Gu Wan just took out ten cents and gave it to Li Dajun, which was the fee for renting the ox cart today.

Li Dajun refused to accept it, "You are just helping the village."

"Uncle, you have to accept it for the first time. If I accept more vegetables from you in the future, I won't pay for the taxi."

Li Dajun drove a ox cart loaded with vegetables and went to the county town with the Gu brothers and sisters.

According to what Gu Wan had originally imagined, her father, her second aunt, and her two brothers all have jobs now, so it is naturally her uncle's family that will go with them to sell vegetables this time.

Just like what the grandmother who is in charge of the family said, everyone in the family must be treated equally.

Especially the three brothers of Gu family have always had a good relationship and help each other in daily life. Now the most difficult one is the uncle's family. If Gu Wan can find a new way out.

Of course, we should also give priority to taking Gu Shan and Gu Hai with us.

Gu Shan has to raise a wife and children, and Gu Hai wants to get married, so the burdens on their shoulders are very heavy.
