Chapter 98: Changes in the status quo, a shift in thinking
“It’s so expensive… I’d better ask the villagers to help me build a house… You guys watch it, I won’t watch it anymore.”
The house in the catalogue looks nice, but the price is not suitable for him.
Another villager who passed by the album, when he saw the price at the bottom, hurriedly handed the album in his hand to another person.
Another person, when he saw the price, directly stuffed the album in his hand into the hands of another person.
"I feel quite satisfied having the villagers help me build a house! It only costs a few dozen coins to build a house, and the price offered by Manager Liu is enough for me to build hundreds of houses."
Liu Xiangqin listened to the villagers' words and just smiled faintly.
She knew that the prices in the atlas were not cheap, and she also understood how the villagers felt about the housing prices.
"If you want to build the houses in the atlas, you can come to me. If you don't want to build it, that's fine too. After all, the price is here."
Uncle Han, an unknown villager in the crowd, raised the book in his hand and passed it around more than a dozen times before it reached his hand.
He carefully looked at the appearance of each room, his eyes revealing appreciation and desire for the room.
After everyone else had expressed their thoughts and there was silence for a few seconds, the villager, Uncle Han, looked up and said:
"To be honest, in the past, I would have thought the rooms in this album were incredibly expensive, just like you guys! But ever since Liu opened this shop and started selling vegetables, fruits, and all sorts of valuables, we've been making more and more money. Honestly, before the grocery store opened, the most I ever had was less than a hundred coins."
Uncle Han was silent for two seconds, looking at the expressions of the others.
"I'm not bragging, but I have a tael of silver in my pocket right now! I never could have imagined that before! Since the grocery store opened, almost everyone has come here. Can you all calculate how much money you have in your pockets? And how long will it take you to save enough to build such a beautiful house?"
"I'm not afraid of people worrying about my family if I tell you this. As long as I go to the back mountain often to pick wild vegetables, fruits or herbs, and take good care of the vegetables in my own fields, I think I can have one or two taels of silver in less than half a month."
"Don't forget, Miss Liu said she has something good that can be used to grow vegetables during the cold winter! If everyone saves money now and buys this good thing, then there won't be any shortage of money during the winter. Is it difficult to build a beautiful house like this?"
Everyone present was persuaded by Uncle Han.
They have the most money they have ever had in their lives.
Building a house like in a picture album is not a difficult task.
The prices in the album were indeed very expensive for them in the past.
But for them now, as long as they work hard, maybe it will only take one or two months to get it.
Da Huzi and others in the crowd were very excited after hearing this.
If they work hard, they will be able to own a house of their own.
Liu Xiangqin turned her head and saw the determination and desire in Wang Hehua's eyes. Her right hand was tightly grasping a corner of her clothes. From the curve of her fist, it could be seen that there was something inside.
If she remembered correctly, Wang Hehua had seven sisters and a younger brother, and she was the fifth child.
My father doesn't love me, my mother doesn't love me, and my sisters get married one after another.
While Da Huzi and the others were still immersed in the beauty of the house and the increasing amount of money in their hands, Wang Hehua was the first to turn around and rush to the back mountain.
"Hehua, wait for us! We will go with you!" Yaya was the first to react and followed Wang Hehua's pace.
The other friends hurried to catch up, they also wanted to go to the back mountain together.
Seeing the children taking action, they, as adults, cannot fall behind.
One by one, they said goodbye to Liu Xiangqin and went to do what they wanted to do.
Since the opening of the Xiangqin Grocery Store, this is the first time that there are so few people at the door of the old house!
Those who watch TV go to the village entrance or the grain drying dam.
Those who want to make money go to their own fields, pick fruits in the mountains, or make handicrafts that they can make.
The entire Fangzi Village was unprecedentedly quiet.
Liu Xiangqin closed the door of the old house and arranged for Liu Yiyuan and Liu Yizhou to go to the modern grocery store. She put all the items that she bought for free in ten seconds into the static space, and then placed them on the shelves one by one and labeled the prices.
In order to distinguish different items in grocery stores at different times and spaces so that they can have higher value, she classified them in a static space.
Wait until the next time you go and put the items on the shelves together.
Night falls.
Gu Yixuan, who had not been seen for a long time, dragged his tired body to Xiangqin Grocery Store.
The moment he arrived at the Celery Grocery Store, his physical fatigue seemed to be dispelled.
The air of the old house gave him a thrill.
Liu Xiangqin knew from the system reminder that Gu Yixuan would come over tonight, so she did not return to the room early. Instead, she turned on the desk lamp and read a storybook on the recliner in the front yard.
The storybook was bought from a bookstore in Baisha Town.
Hearing that it was selling well in Baisha Town, she also bought a copy.
After reading a few pages, I found it quite interesting and kept reading.
"Miss Liu, we said goodbye in a hurry last time. I promised to leave you my home address, but I didn't give it to you. I'm so sorry!"
Gu Yixuan looked apologetic as he looked at the new items on the shelves and began to calculate how much he could buy with the money he had.
Liu Xiangqin flipped the notebook in her hand, turned her head towards Gu Yixuan, and kept her eyes on the notebook.
"No problem. Just let me know when you come today. I'm in charge of the deliveries here, and I'm very efficient and can make up for the time you've been away."
It takes an ordinary escort company a month to deliver goods to the capital.
In order to conform to the travel style of this era, the system's special carriage did not want to be too abrupt, and it actually set out from Fangzi Village and headed for the capital.
If you take a normal rest in between, you can reach the capital in half a month.
The advantage lies entirely in the carriage's speed. When no one is on board, it can reach two or three times the speed.
Gu Yixuan nodded. He had no idea what Liu Xiangqin said about fast delivery, so he didn't care.
It was not until he received a letter from home that he realized how fast the delivery was!
Gu Yixuan took out the address of his family’s shop and a handwritten letter he wrote and placed them on the table next to the recliner.
"Miss Liu, please pack up all the items in the store in one hundred pieces. Please calculate how much silver it will cost. I have silver notes on me, but I don't know if it will be enough."
Gu Yixuan took out more than a dozen silver notes worth one hundred taels from his pocket.
Liu Xiangqin, who had several thousand taels of silver in her account, was very calm when she looked at the dozen or so silver notes of one hundred taels.
