Chapter 212 A match made in heaven
Tong Huaqiong is someone who has experienced big scenes, and she was not at all nervous when faced with the enthusiastic greetings from everyone.
Respond to everyone's flattery enthusiastically and generously.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
Village chief Liu Tielian signaled everyone to be quiet.
The cornfield waits for no one. There is still daylight and the weather is neither cold nor hot, which is perfect for spraying pesticides.
Liu Tielian wished that everyone could get the medicine and start spraying it on the spot.
Seeing that everyone was chatting with Tong Huaqiong endlessly, he couldn't help but jump out to interrupt everyone's enthusiasm.
Liu Tielian has a high prestige in the village. Since he became the village chief, his style of doing things has convinced everyone. As soon as he spoke, the crowd gradually quieted down.
"Mother Dashu, everyone has seen the effect of the antiseptic and anti-insect medicine you prepared in your fields. I have called everyone here. Please tell everyone about the medicine."
Liu Tielian gave the home court to Tong Huaqiong.
Tong Huaqiong didn't hesitate to stand in front of everyone with a smile and briefly explained the usage and effects of the antibacterial and anti-insect drugs.
Everyone knows how to use it. After all, we all make a living by farming, so spraying pesticides is easy for us.
As for the effect, everyone has seen the effect from the fields where Tong Huaqiong's family applied the pesticide.
There is no doubt about this.
This ear rot occurs every year and cannot be completely eliminated. In this case, why not trust Tong Da Jiao once.
"......This recipe was seen by my husband Jingzhe in a book, so I tried to make it. A few days ago, I asked Dahan to try it on two acres of my land. It really worked, and did not harm the corn seedlings and ears. But let me be frank. I cannot guarantee that this medicine will have the same effect when applied to everyone's land. Don't blame me if you don't have a good harvest of corn. I will give the medicine to those who are willing to believe me now. If you don't believe me, just treat it as a joke." Tong Huaqiong said.
"Auntie Big Foot, we have all seen the effect. I noticed that in the field where Brother Dahan sprayed the pesticide this morning, the mold on the corn ears has disappeared and there is a layer of aphids on the ground. Anyway, I don't care about others, I believe it." said a young man.
"I believe it too. Aunt Tong is a great benefactor for being willing to make the medicine public, so why should we ask you to guarantee the effectiveness? I tell you, there are many factors that affect the corn harvest, not just ear rot and cotton aphids, but also droughts, floods and so on. If someone's corn does not have a good harvest after applying pesticides this year and then blames Aunt Tong, then they are the reincarnation of a rotten seed with a black heart, and they will never be reborn into a good family in their next life." This was said by a fierce young wife.
"Everyone, feel free to use the medicine. My family is close to the water and has the advantage of being the first to get it. I got the medicine from my in-laws' house at noon. Now my old man is applying the medicine in the field. I just came back from the field and saw that the corn ears that were applied with the medicine have shown effects. If you don't believe me, please pass by my field later and take a look."
Liu Yue'e's mother, Zhao, had just returned from the fields and joined the crowd to call Tong Huaqiong.
There was still a faint smell of pesticides on her body.
Everyone's emotions were aroused, and someone asked, "Big Foot, how much do you sell the medicine for? Give me a bottle first so I can try it."
"I'll have one, too."
"I don't have any money with me right now. Give me two bottles first. I'll ask my boy to give the money to Big Foot after dinner."
Everyone was talking about it.
Since this medicine is effective, just use it.
I just don’t know how much Tong Da Jiao’s price will be.
Many people whose families are in financial difficulties secretly pray that Tong Da Jiao will set the price lower for the sake of their fellow villagers. If they cannot afford the price, they can only sigh and hopeless.
Tong Huaqiong waved to everyone, cleared his throat and said, "Listen to me, everyone. I don't want any money for this medicine. I'll give it to everyone for free."
The crowd fell into a strange silence, staring at Tong Huaqiong in a daze.
for free?
Such an effective medicine is actually given to everyone for free.
This is not in line with Tong Dajiao's style.
Even though Tong Da Jiao lived in the same village as everyone else, when the villagers went to Taohua Dessert to buy pastries, the price was the same as for other customers.
"What are you all looking at? Why don't you believe in Dashu Niang? Dashu Niang said it's free, how could she still fool you?" Liu Tielian said.
It’s not that people don’t want to believe it, it’s that people don’t dare to believe it.
It is said that Tong Da Jiao's personality has changed a lot since she went to the town to do business. She is very kind to her stepson's family and even hired villagers to do work. But she is still a person who is not easy to mess with. Last time, she severely injured Xu Si and then forced Yan Pozi to pay money and almost emptied Yan Pozi's belongings. This behavior is still the familiar Tong Da Jiao.
Tong Huaqiong thought that since she was distributing antibacterial and anti-insect drugs for free, everyone would worship her like a god, and she was ready to happily accept everyone's cheers.
Oh my god, the atmosphere suddenly became dull.
It's so devastating.
This shows how deep a shadow Tong Dajiao casts on everyone.
Tong Huaqiong broke the silence and said, "I'm sure you all want to know why I give everyone pesticides for free. Do you believe me if I say I want every household in our village to have a good harvest of corn? Yes, this is indeed my true thought. We all live in Qinghewan, and every year I see our corn harvest is about to be good, but it falls to ear rot or cotton aphids. I really can't accept this."
"If you say I have selfish motives, then I definitely do. The book Jingzhe says that corn ear rot can be transmitted to each other. If only my field or the fields of people who are willing to buy medicine are free of ear rot, it will still be useless, because the fields of people who don't have money to buy medicine will still have ear rot, and it can still be transmitted to the corn of the whole village. So I thought, instead of letting the corn of the whole village be infected, it is better to distribute the medicine to everyone for free."
"If we all work together to eliminate the ear rot, it will benefit the land of all the villagers, including my family. This is my selfish desire."
After hearing this, everyone felt ashamed for questioning Tong Huaqiong's motives.
Even though Tong Da Jiao was trying to protect her own corn field from being infected, she deserves praise just for not accepting money from everyone.
Let’s not talk about how much her corn is worth, how much does the pesticide cost?
Just by selling pesticides to the villagers, or even the entire Pingchuan County, he would make a lot of money. Even with the money, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to buy corn.
If it were other people in the village, it would be hard to say that they would not be tempted by the money made from pesticides.
But Tong Dajiao just gave the medicine to everyone for free. Regardless of whether it was for fame or something else, she really did a good thing.
The villagers were in an uproar, and words of praise were thrown into Tong Huaqiong's ears without cost.
Tong Huaqiong invited everyone into the yard, and asked her mother-in-law Zhao and several young wives for help to distribute the medicine to everyone.
Boss Qian, who had been paying attention to all this at Tong Huaqiong's house, spread out paper and took a pen to make a record.
Boss Qian couldn't help but look at Tong Huaqiong while registering.
He found that Tong Huaqiong was a kind-hearted person like him. He was willing to pay money to help the souls of the innocent in the wasteland to be reborn and to distribute rice and noodles to the elderly people over 60 in the village. Then Tong Huaqiong took the initiative to distribute free pesticides to everyone.
What do you call him and Tong Huaqiong? They're a match made in heaven.
When Boss Qian discovered this brilliant point, he was so happy that he almost flew up.
