Chapter 65 Playing Hard to Get

"By the way, those seeds..."

"Don't worry, those seeds are all good. They have all germinated. I checked this morning and found that the longest sprouts are all one centimeter long. They must be planted quickly."

"It turns out that grandpa has always remembered this, so it's not too late. I'll plant these vegetable seeds at noon today."

Xiao Yi was busy with things outside, but he forgot about the seeds, Xiao Shan was always looking after them.

I told Xiao Yi earlier that it would take at least a week for the seeds to germinate. Xiao Yi didn't know what method he used, but the seeds had grown such long shoots in less than three days.

After eating at noon, Xiao Yi used tools to clear out the place where the vegetables were harvested in the vegetable garden before, loosened the soil, and then planted all the vegetable seeds.

This batch of vegetables was Xiao Yi's first step in growing vegetables, so Xiao Yi was extra careful during the whole process, for fear that something might be wrong.

Plant all the vegetable seeds, and then sprinkle water with a watering can. After wetting, don't worry about it, just wait for the seedlings to emerge automatically.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yi received a call from Li Xiaojia, saying that it was the person who planted the orchard, who was anxious to find Li Xiaojia, as if he wanted to discuss the contract.

Xiao Yi was worrying about contracting the orchard. The person who planted the orchard came to Li Xiaojia and explained that he wanted to contract the orchard. After Xiao Yi finished his work, he rushed to the village committee first.

"What's the situation? Why did this person come here on his own initiative?"

Li Xiaojia was standing in front of the gate of the village committee. Xiao Yi saw it as soon as he came over, so he first asked Li Xiaojia what was going on.

Li Xiaojia pointed to the office of the village committee and told Xiao Yi that the person who planted the orchard was waiting in the office.

"If you have troubles, this girl will help you. Now that this person has come, whether you can win the contract of the orchard depends on your ability."

"Since this person is here, I have a way to take down the orchard, just wait outside."

Xiao Yi had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind, and after entering the office, he saw the second son Sun who was planting an orchard.

Sun Er Er was used to squatting, so he didn't sit on a stool, he just squatted aside. Today he came to Anning Bay because he had something urgent to do.

Of course, I came to Anning Bay not for fun, but for the orchard. Sun Laoer knew that someone wanted to contract the orchard, so he made a special trip there.

In his forties, the clothes he was wearing hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, and there was a smell of sweat. Xiao Yi understood why Li Xiaojia wasn't here, and he couldn't stand the smell.

"You are the one who planted the orchard, right? Then you should be the second son of Wu Village."

"That's right, I'm Sun's second child. I heard that someone in Anning Bay is interested in my orchard. I'm here to see what's going on. You should be the one who inquired about the orchard, right?"

Second Sun raised his head and said, opening his mouth to reveal his yellowed teeth, and said with a scruffy beard.

Xiao Yi thought to himself that the second son Sun was not stupid. Knowing that someone inquired about the orchard, he must have the intention of contracting it. That's why he insisted on a one-stop price of 5,000 yuan a year.

"That's right, I did inquire."

"I came to Anning Bay just for the orchard. Now I don't have time to take care of the orchard. I plan to contract it out. If you contract it, it will cost 5,000 yuan a year. I will suffer a bit and contract it to you."

Sun Laoer squinted his eyes and said, confirming that Xiao Yi must contract the orchard, he said the price in his heart.

"Contract the orchard? Who wants to contract it? Don't you mean me?"

"Ah! There...is there anything wrong with this? Isn't it for contracting my orchard when you inquire about it?"

"To inquire is to inquire. Do you have to contract if you inquire? I'm just asking casually. Your orchard is full of grass. In such a big orchard, it would be nice to find a few edible apples. I want Contracting your orchard, am I full of food?"

Xiao Yi's answer was somewhat beyond Sun Lao Er's expectations, Sun Lao Er had already thought about it, if Xiao Yi were to negotiate the price later, how would he talk to Xiao Yi.

But he never expected that Xiao Yi said directly that he didn't want to contract the contract. In this case, Sun Laoer didn't know how to continue the conversation, and he didn't follow the routine at all.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to run. If there is nothing else, go back to the village first. The village head is still in a hurry to go to work."

"No... You don't contract my orchard, why do you inquire about the orchard, no, no, you have to give me an explanation today before I go back."

"What? Are you still planning to rely on it? You came to our An Ning Bay by yourself, and no one forced you to come."

Sun Laoer became impatient, and he had already thought about something good, but when he met Xiao Yi, he ignored him at all, and didn't talk about the orchard.

This is a bit illogical. In the end, Xiao Yi had no intention of contracting something that he had already thought about. He didn't know how to say what Sun Laoer would say next.

"You...do you really have no plans to contract the orchard? The price is negotiable, and I can't let me make a trip for nothing."

Xiao Yi was talking casually, raised one leg, stretched out a little finger, and began to pick his nostril leisurely.

"Where did you hear that I was going to contract the orchard? I just saw it when I went up the mountain and talked to the village chief a few words. How much is your broken orchard worth?"

"Although the fruit is not much, if you take good care of it, you can sell it for some money."

"I'm not interested. I'm lazier than you. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Seeing that Xiao Yi was really going to leave, Sun Laoer didn't express any interest in the orchard in his words, which made Sun Laoer start to get impatient, and stood up to block Xiao Yi.

"No, no, you can't do this. If you inquire about my orchard, I have to come to you to discuss it. If five thousand yuan is too high, I can lower it a bit. What do you think of four thousand nine?"

"One hundred yuan less! What can one hundred yuan do now? The price rises and the currency depreciates. I said that I am not interested in this orchard."

Xiao Yi said, Sun Lao Er couldn't sit still and lower the price. If this kind of person desperately wants money, he will lower the price, and the next thing will be easy to talk about.

Sun Laoer also knows that his orchard does not make money, and if he can make money, he will manage it himself, so that the fertilizer and water will not flow to other people's fields. Instead of leaving it in waste, it is better to rent it out and earn some money to spend.

"Then tell me how much you are willing to rent my orchard, so I can know the price."

"I've said that I'm not interested. If I want to contract your orchard, the price will be the price. I won't pay any more."

Xiao Yi raised two fingers while talking, Sun Laoer understood that Xiao Yi was talking about two thousand yuan, which was much different from what he imagined.

"No, no, no, this is not okay. You want to contract my orchard for two thousand yuan. I won't do this business."

"I didn't say I had to do it. It was you who stopped me from talking about it. Now that I've finished talking, I have nothing to do. I'll go home first."

Just as Xiao Yi took two steps, Sun Laoer suddenly grabbed Xiao Yi's arm, and the corner of Xiao Yi's mouth raised a hint of Xiao Yi, the deal should be concluded.
