So fragrant!
It's really so fragrant!
Inhaling that subtle, scent unique to Beauty Liu, Chen Ergou truly felt that kind of exhilaration!
"Here I come!"
Seeing Chen Ergou standing firm in front of her, Beauty Liu subconsciously closed her eyes!
Although she was no longer so shy, she was still very nervous at this moment…
"Sister-in-law, I am about to begin!"
As he spoke, Chen Ergou slightly bent down!
"Hmm, begin, I…"
Before she could finish, Beauty Liu found herself unable to continue.
"Little Rascal!"
After a while, with eyes seductive as silk, she lowered her head and whispered shyly, for she realized that Chen Ergou was earnestly sucking out the poison!
…
"Done!"
After extracting the last bit of Poison Liquid, Chen Ergou softly alerted her.
The next moment, he grabbed the mint he had prepared and placed it in his mouth, as he needed it to neutralize the bitter taste at that moment!
"Hmm!"
Beauty Liu, weak all over, gave Chen Ergou a somewhat blurry look, shyly nodded her head, and with her pale jade fingers picked up the jacket set aside, weakly putting it on again!
Watching her enchanting figure being concealed once more, Chen Ergou felt a slight sense of regret!
However, Chen Ergou knew that there might still be opportunities in the future!
After all, having gone through so many things, Chen Ergou knew that his relationship with Beauty Liu had grown much closer.
…
"Looks like, sister-in-law is still a bit embarrassed, huh!"
At the entrance of the village, as he watched Beauty Liu scamper away, Chen Ergou muttered quietly!
Having said that, Chen Ergou drove the ox cart back home…
Having had lunch with his parents, Chen Ergou began to meticulously consider his future development plans…
After deciding on the overall future direction, Chen Ergou went to the Village Chief Chen Dacheng's home by himself!
Chen Ergou knew that if he wanted to cultivate medicinal herbs, he needed to lease the mountain land, so naturally, he had to notify the village!
Village Chief Chen Dacheng, an uncle on the paternal side of Chen Ergou, and Chen Ergou believed that if he spoke nicely, the uncle would probably not hinder him from leasing the mountain behind the village!
"Uncle Third, are you home?"
At the doorstep of Chen Dacheng's house, Chen Ergou shouted!
"Hmm? Is that Ergou? I am at home, what's up?"
Upon hearing voices from the courtyard, Chen Ergou walked in and saw Chen Dacheng watering the chives in the yard!
Chen Dacheng's house had a large piece of vacant land, so he turned it into a small vegetable garden which he looked after thoroughly, although at that moment, their leaves were all drooping!
Glancing at the drooping chives, Chen Ergou went straight to the point, "Uncle, I have something I would like to discuss with you!"
"Alright, just let me finish watering these!"
While speaking, Chen Dacheng picked up a full bucket of water…
"No problem!"
Ten minutes later, having washed his hands, Chen Dacheng wiped his face with a towel and said, "Ergou, okay, what is it, speak!"
Nodding his head, Chen Ergou directly said, "Uncle Third, I want to lease the barren mountain behind the village!"
"What?"
Chen Dacheng, who had just draped the towel that had wiped sweat, thought he had misheard and instinctively looked at Chen Ergou, asking again!
Chen Ergou smiled, and repeated what he had said!
Once Chen Dacheng was sure he hadn't misheard, he looked at Chen Ergou with confusion and said, "Ergou, why did you suddenly think of this?"
Feeling Chen Dacheng's surprise, Chen Ergou quickly explained, "Uncle, I plan to cultivate medicinal herbs on the mountain!"
"Grow medicinal herbs? That's impossible! We are not strangers, your Uncle Third wouldn't mislead you. You should drop this idea!"
Having clearly heard Chen Ergou's explanation, Chen Dacheng quickly shook his head!
Seeing Chen Ergou still eager to try, Chen Dacheng continued:
"Previously, I really wanted to lease out the back mountain! Even if I couldn't lease it, I planned to cultivate it a bit, which would be convenient for the villagers! So, a long time ago, I took soil samples from the back mountain to the city for testing. Only after the tests did I learn that the soil of the back mountain is all acidic, making it difficult for crops to grow!"
"Acidic?"
Hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Chen Ergou's face!
However, Chen Ergou quickly became unconcerned, knowing he did not need the soil to be sufficiently vigorous. Whether the soil was acidic or not did not matter because Chen Ergou relied on the green True Qi within his body!
As long as he had it, he could promote the rapid growth of medicinal herbs continuously, so the acidity of the soil did not matter at all!
Chen Dacheng looked at Chen Ergou, smiled, and said, "Yeah, knowing this, you must be planning to give up now!"
"No, Uncle, I still plan to take on the lease! When can we sign the lease contract?"
"You... you are so stubborn!"
Chen Dacheng was truly frustrated!
Because he realized that Chen Ergou was truly impervious to persuasion!
"Uncle, I have my own plans, just lease it to me directly!"
Chen Ergou, seeing Chen Dacheng's sigh, also wanted to explain himself.
But Chen Ergou didn't know how to explain, since he couldn't say that he planned to lease the back mountain because he had special abilities, knowing that even if he said it, he probably wouldn't believe it...
"Well... well, okay then!"
Chen Dacheng knew Chen Ergou had made up his mind, so at this point, he could say no more. He turned around, took a paper and pen, drafted the contract, and quickly signed it with Chen Ergou!
After signing the contract, Chen Ergou looked at the contract in his hands excitedly!
He knew that from this moment on, the back mountain truly belonged to him!
Five years!
Chen Ergou had leased the back mountain for five years at the price of one hundred thousand!
Once the one hundred thousand was confirmed in the account, Chen Dacheng said, "Ergou, although our contract is for five years, if you ever want to give up, if you want to back out, you can come to me anytime. We'll terminate the contract, and I'll refund you every cent!"
"Uncle, I understand!"
Chen Ergou felt warm inside upon hearing Chen Dacheng's words, knowing that Chen Dacheng truly had his best interest in mind!
"Uncle, I have another favor to ask of you!"
After expressing his sentiment, Chen Ergou spoke again!
...
Five minutes later, the village broadcast sounded, "All villagers, if you are free, gather at the plaza in front of the brigade. Our village's Chen Ergou has leased the back mountain and needs some people to help with seeding, fifty per day!"
"Leased the back mountain?"
"Fifty a day?"
"That's practically giving it away!"
After Chen Dacheng finished shouting, many people excitedly muttered to themselves and rushed out of their houses!
Recently, due to dry weather, they didn't have much to do, so when they heard there was an opportunity to earn some extra money, naturally, they didn't want to miss it!
After all, fifty a day was a substantial amount!
"Who did his uncle just call out for? Our son?"
"I also heard it sounded like Ergou, but that's impossible. Why would he lease the back mountain?"
At home, watching TV, Li Cuixia and Chen Jianqiu looked at each other in confusion. Soon, they turned off the TV and hurried out!
They now wanted to see exactly what was going on!
...
"Ergou, you leased the back mountain and want us to seed?"
"Yeah, did the village chief really say fifty a day?"
"Exactly, how many people do you need?"
Chen Ergou had just come out when he was startled by the enthusiastic locals. There was no helping it, as there were easily over a hundred people there...
Taking a deep breath, Chen Ergou smiled and explained, "Fellow villagers, I've leased the back mountain, so I need people to help me with seeding. The daily wage is fifty yuan! I need as many people as possible, so don't push!"
Earlier, at the seed station, Chen Ergou had bought a huge amount of medicinal herb seeds, so now he was taking all comers!
Chen Ergou knew that such a vast barren mountain really needed many people to finish planting, so the more people he had to help, the better...
While making arrangements, Chen Ergou saw his mother Li Cuixia and father Chen Jianqiu approaching him. With a wry smile, Chen Ergou knew he needed to explain things properly to them...
