Chapter 1413: Cheat

~11 min read 2,127 words

This kind of small agricultural machine wasn't actually the main machinery promoted by Yang Zhengxin's family.

As for the purpose of developing them, it was purely because this market was blank, so they might as well occupy it first.

As for sales, there was no hope.

After all, as everyone knew, the real grain-producing giants who were willing to spend money on machinery were all concentrated in plains and vast areas.

These agricultural machines weren't big. If you really talked about the area they occupied, they might not be as big as the small cars that children were popular to drive out now. Young women and the elderly could all operate them to dig, loosen soil, harvest, etc.

The advantage was that they were suitable for all terrains, especially mountainous and hilly areas, and even some extremely narrow terraced fields could use them.

The disadvantage was that they couldn't completely liberate labor, and the efficiency was relatively low compared to large agricultural machines.

But these weren't things in Yang Zhengxin's eyes!

He wasn't an ignorant rich second generation. Following Qiaoqiao and Chen Chi around, he had long seen that there weren't many people in this village.

It was said that when they first contracted the land last year, they used an excavator to barely turn them all over, but that was for wasteland. If crops were planted, the growth cycles of the crops were unequal. When digging the ground, you couldn't use an excavator just because there was a gap in the middle, right?

But if you purely used manpower, when it was really busy farming season, you couldn't spare any manpower, or there were only one or two. Digging a piece of land took two or three days, which would delay the best planting cycle for nothing!

Since that was the case, it was better to give the inventory of these small agricultural machines to Qiaoqiao. Anyway, they were good brothers and good deskmates. Qiaoqiao had good things and didn't feel reluctant to give them to him at all. Staying for another half a month, maybe whole roasted lamb could be arranged for him...

What was this called?

The hot-blooded teenager's heart was only surging with one sentence: If you treat me with beef and lamb, I will definitely repay you with agricultural machinery!

It was worthy of being his mom, thinking more thoughtfully than him!

Yang Zhengxin was proud of himself, but turned around and decided not to ask his mom for living expenses this month—it was estimated to be hard to fool, so he'd better find his dad.

But Qiaoqiao didn't know.

He happily compared the farm game introduced by Yang Zhengxin, gathered the agricultural machines in the electronic brochure bit by bit, and at this moment, he looked at the game gold coins that hadn't changed with great care.

Then he was confused for a moment, and self-taught a word he saw on the tremor:

"Yang Zhengxin, what you just showed me, is it that kind of cheat?"

Even brothers had times when they weren't tacit enough. Yang Zhengxin was sending the list to his dad. Hearing this, he said "Ah," thought about it—how could their family's agricultural machines not be considered a cheat? No one in this village had used them yet! So he nodded naturally: "Yes!"

Qiaoqiao sat back worriedly, wanting to say something but stopping—

But everyone on the tremor was scolding, saying that those who used cheats were all stinky idiots!

Although he didn't know why he couldn't hear clearly what the idiot was, it must be scolding people, right?

It was scolding people, right?

Because he was struggling with whether to persuade his friend, Qiaoqiao didn't sleep well all night. Early the next morning, he opened the game gold coins he had worked hard to save by cutting down trees, and then said solemnly to Yang Zhengxin, who was yawning: "Why don't we not use cheats? I don't want you to be scolded by others."

Scolded?

Yang Zhengxin was confused.

A moment later, he reacted and jumped up instantly: "Someone scolds for using an agricultural machine? Who scolds? People in your village? No, why would they scold! They didn't have to pay for it? And the work isn't necessarily theirs!"

"Besides, doesn't this agricultural machine still need people to operate? It's easier to learn a skill, what face do they have to scold?!"

"What kind of atmosphere is your village!"

His words were really too dense, and the amount of information rushed Qiaoqiao to think for a long time. However, the two sides weren't talking about the same thing, so he couldn't answer directly.

Xin Jun was planning to assign early reading homework to Qiaoqiao and was coming upstairs at this moment. Hearing "machinery" and "agricultural machine," he couldn't help but be curious: "What agricultural machine?"

Qiaoqiao: "Game cheat Yang Zhengxin used for me."

Yang Zhengxin: "My mom said more than a dozen agricultural machines were sent over."

Xin Jun: Huh?

A moment later.

The entire Song family gathered in the courtyard looking at Yang Zhengxin. Until Wu Lan was anxious directly: "You child, how can you be like this? Your parents' business is big, but it was all earned through hard work. You can't be so wasteful! We don't want those agricultural machines. Tan Tan said before that she would buy them when they are suitable."

Song Sancheng also nodded, very approving: "Our place is small and we can't use them. Look, we didn't even hire an excavator usually."

Yang Zhengxin didn't explain much about the small agricultural machines, just looked at his phone: "But my dad said he happened to be on a business trip to Huacheng, and arranged for the warehouse to send the truck last night."

After all, they were all heavy trucks, and they were used to running night shifts.

If the driver hadn't taken a break halfway, they would have almost reached Huacheng by now.

The Song family: "Ah?"

No, why are you guys so active in being wasteful!

When Song Tan received the call, she was driving and taking Lu Chuan to see her alma mater. Everyone was very happy at the class reunion last night, but she couldn't guarantee whether this happiness was due to drinking wine.

Only knowing that when sending those close classmates away one by one with gifts, they didn't have any melancholy of parting, but instead were happily laughing with flushed cheeks one by one.

Waking up early this morning, her muted phone suffered a barrage from 3 AM until now. Every word and sentence was blood and tears—

【Song Tan! You still said to drink more tea!!! This lady was excited and awake until dawn!】

【Can't sleep, can't sleep, can't sleep. Do you know it's Monday? Do you know the evil farm owner's early morning?】

【Don't mention it, I cried alone until dawn—because I have to work six days in a row this week! Because I couldn't sleep last night and am still energetic now, my pain started last night!】

【Me too! Because I couldn't sleep and was anxious, and because I was afraid of having no energy for work, I was in pain!】

Anyway, everyone in the group was condemning.

If it weren't for the reason that they knew it wasn't easy to talk about gifts, I'm afraid the resentment would have crushed her!

And Song Tan didn't reply until 10 AM: "Just say whether the tea is good or not. Is the wine good or not? Will you drink it again next time?"

Everyone:...

Everyone tearfully withdrew their condemnation.

After a while, someone sent a message again—

【Thank you, big farm owner, for showing me the world. It turns out that some good things are really good!】

How sigh-worthy, accepting the blow of financial scarcity early Monday morning, truly making their energetic souls sway.

At the same time, Zheng Qu was also extremely painful.

He drank tea and wine last night. The wine made people intoxicated, and he really couldn't bear to pour the tea leaves, adding water again and again. Now, there was a task to do in the office early Monday morning. He was awake until dawn. Even if he wasn't tired mentally, his eyes were really tired.

Until the top leader, Director Wang, passed by and couldn't help but glance at him: "Little Zheng, what time did you play at the class reunion last night? Why are there bloodshot eyes?"

What could Zheng Qu say? He couldn't sleep and got up to play with his phone and brush reports.

At this moment, he could only smile: "My college classmate runs a farm at home. She brought some tea leaves for us yesterday—it was too refreshing. I drank it last night and couldn't sleep all night."

Director Wang was just joking casually, but his heart moved when he heard this: "College classmate? I remember you are from Ningcheng University, right?"

The Song Boss who was engaged in agriculture in Yuncheng, whom the leader kept in mind, was also a graduate of this school. Age... seemed to be about the same as this Little Zheng.

Thinking of this, Director Wang's heart moved again—it wasn't mainly for the tea leaves. They couldn't buy tea leaves now, and didn't dare to buy them again. It was said that the price had been beaten to hundreds of thousands. What could they buy with?

Future?

But in that village, the most important... ah no, the most relevant to people's livelihood wasn't just agriculture! There was also that township medical care, some moxibustion and acupuncture that were very useful for waist and legs, and...

Medicine.

But the other party said in early spring that the raw materials were insufficient and there was no stock. It had been more than two months now! How could such expensive medicine still have no inventory!

Zheng Qu didn't know the twists and turns in the leader's heart. At this moment, thinking of Lu Chuan's words when he left, his heart also moved:

"By the way, leader, my classmate is named Song Tan. Do you know her?"

"She asked me to ask you, saying that some large leaves and old leaves picked out from the tea fried at home are given to old customers at the original price. I don't know if you are that old customer, and if you need it here? Two jin can be gathered every month."

Director Wang's eyebrows moved slightly.

—In fact, this was Lu Chuan's suggestion.

At the leader's age, he would definitely advance further in the future. So as the secretary beside him, Director Wang would also likely go to the prefecture and county in the future.

Maybe it was a place once managed by the old leader.

Anyway, since people had generously taken photos and hung them on the wall, there was no need for them to pretend not to know—it was just inconvenient to contact actively before. Now that Zheng Qu was an unexpected medium, asking casually could be considered their intention.

After all, large-leaf tea was really large-leaf tea, a handful at a time, the kind of large-leaf tea with three to five leaves on one tea leaf. In the past, even if it was wild tea or mountain tea from Yunqiao Village, this jin wouldn't be higher than 50 yuan.

But now that Zheng Qu said the old price, seeing Director Wang not even raise his eyebrows, he roughly understood in his heart.

And buying large-leaf tea at this price wouldn't disrupt the market, let alone be criticized.

For tea lovers, it was indeed a perfect option.

It was just that compared to tender buds, the taste was probably slightly astringent and bitter.

Sure enough, Director Wang nodded after only hesitating for a moment: "Okay, tell her thank you for me. I'll transfer the money to her directly. After all, it's a normal business, no need to hide it."

Zheng Qu nodded immediately, then had a flash of inspiration and took the initiative to open his lunch box—

"Leader, do you want to eat steamed buns?"

He hinted: "My girlfriend is Song Tan's good friend. She received a jar of soybean paste yesterday and gave me half. I used it to sandwich steamed buns this morning!"

Because Song Tan promised to send her another jar.

"If you want to eat, I'll ask the master over there to steam it again at noon."

Director Wang looked at him, then looked again, and said lightly: "Eating this during work hours, what does it look like."

"Give me the lunch box—this seafood buffet coupon for two nearby is for you."

Zheng Qu:...

Taking this coupon, would he have to dig out half of his soybean paste jar tomorrow! ===== CHAPTER 1414 =====
