I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 168 It’s settled

168

"As long as there is a way, as long as there is a way." Li Jinniu smiled sincerely.

Chen Dahe looked at the villagers in front of him with smiles on their faces and poured cold water on them mercilessly: "However, this method cannot be implemented by just the two of us. We need to ask our master who specializes in finding water to come and adapt it to local conditions."

Zhou Xiaozhou suddenly understood. He wondered why Chen Dahe suddenly changed his mind and said there was a way. If a drilling team could really come, what groundwater could not be extracted?

Unfortunately, Chen Dahao didn't really want to find a professional drilling team.

"The price charged by the well digger in our hometown is not low." After Chen Dahe said this, he waited for the villagers' reaction.

He has said so, so these young and old men in the village would not still be thinking of getting something for free, right?

The villagers on the opposite side were indeed in trouble.

If you have extra money, who would beg others to exchange for food? Can't you just go to Kuching County and buy it yourself?

"Mr. Chen, we really don't have..."

"This is difficult. We can exchange for food, but this requires hiring people, and we can't afford such a large expense."

Since ancient times, water shortage in cultivated land has often occurred, and it has been common for young and strong people in the village to fight for water sources in every dynasty.

Why should others spend money and effort on your village?

"Master Zhou, you are from our Lai'an Village! You can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

This guy is not done yet, right?

Zhou Xiaozhou remembered this person who blackmailed him morally. It was he who just asked Zhou Xiaozhou to change two faucets. He was so shameless.

Doesn’t the faucet cost money?

"My wife has become one of your villagers? How come I don't know about this?" Chen Dahe asked back.

“Didn’t the village chief know where Master Zhou came from at the beginning? So he asked Brother Dashan to take her to settle down in Kuching County.” After saying this, Li Jinniu laughed, as if waiting to be praised.

However, Chen Dahe did not play by the rules at all: "What should we do? My wife will have two household registrations now. When paying taxes, won't she have to pay two taxes?"

"This?" Li Jinniu really didn't expect this.

"No," Chen Dashan finally seized the opportunity, "Master Zhou was able to register his household registration here, which means that the household registration there has been changed. We are mountain people."

Zhou Xiaozhou was not moved by the last sentence, but Chen Dahe seemed to understand and changed his expression at the right time: "What are you talking about? How did you become a mountain dweller?"

Chen Dashan was betting that the newcomer Chen Langjun didn't know the rules here and would reveal his flaws.

Chen Dahao never gambles, and his reaction was based on the feedback Zhou Xiaozhou gave him in the early stage.

It seems that in this world, mountain people have a very low status.

But people without identity are even worse off, they can be shot in the street, and no one questions such behavior.

They know nothing about this world and can only move forward by groping their way.

Sure enough, seeing him angry, the villagers showed a hint of guilt on their faces.

Old Wu even explained: "We had no choice at the beginning. We dare not take in illegal residents. So... Mr. Chen, please forgive me."

Chen Dahe and Zhou Xiaozhou also pulled Chen Dahe's sleeves at the right time, and Chen Dahe stopped when he saw that he was ahead.

At this time, the villagers who had gone to check came back from all directions.

"Village chief, village chief, there is less water, less water, less water, less is not enough."

The man was running breathlessly, obviously without wasting a moment.

When the villagers heard what he shouted, their expressions became even more serious.

If you say that just now I was jokingly blackmailing Mr. Zhou and his wife, now I am making a serious request.

Old Wu bowed with both hands, bowed to Zhou Xiaozhou and the others, and said earnestly: "Master Zhou, Mr. Chen, please save our village."

The villagers behind him followed suit and bowed to Zhou Xiaozhou.

Chen Dahao stopped joking and took the matter seriously.

Lack of water is not a good thing. In serious cases, people can really die. Although these people are in a different world from them, they are all human beings with two shoulders and a head. They are living lives and should not be given up easily.

Chen Dahe thought for a moment and said to Village Chief Wu, "Village Chief, we young people cannot bear your respect. We can only do our best. We can scrape together some food, but for water, we can only look for it in the mountains. I see that the trees in the village are still lush, so I think there should still be water sources underground."

Nonsense, of course there is water underneath, otherwise these trees would have died long ago.

Zhou Xiaozhou wanted to roll his eyes. This guy was really pretending.

Old Wu was also single, so he stopped letting Chen Dashan represent him and started chatting with Chen Dahe himself: "This is what needs to be exchanged. There are nothing rare in the village now. There are only some small pieces from the elephants and tigers I hunted last time. I wonder if Mr. Chen will accept them."

When Zhou Xiaozi heard this, his eyes lit up. This meant that the man was finally willing to give him something good.

It’s worth all their efforts!

Chen Dahe also smiled: "Yes, of course. We will pay according to the market price. You know that the grain prices in the county have increased. Can we still pay according to the previous price?"

"Okay, okay, okay." The villagers behind were happy to hear this, and kept praising Mr. Zhou for being a kind man.

Only Chen Dashan frowned, as if he had discovered something.

"In addition," Chen Dahe decided to add fuel to the fire, "if any family has things they don't want, they can also take them out and ask the village chief to estimate their price. I believe the village chief will not treat us unfairly."

This is a nice statement. What do you mean by 'things that everyone doesn't want'? Nowadays, staying alive is the most important thing, and everything else can be discarded.

It would be better to take them to Old Wu for an appraisal. Firstly, they don't know how much these things are worth here. Didn't you see that even exchanging some fruits with the kids requires Wu Sanmei to step in?

Secondly, Old Wu would also think well of them and think that they would not cheat the villagers.

Why not do a win-win situation?

The two sides agreed on this.

Old Wu called Chen Dashan over and asked him to take out the valuable items such as elephants and tigers that were difficult to sell last time and exchange them with Chen Dahao for twenty bags of grain.

It was the same kind that Zhou Xiaozhou bought in Kuching County last time, in a bag of 100 kilograms. However, this time the villagers did not want mixed noodles, they wanted rice.

In this sense, the villagers are still the ones who get the upper hand.

But if you think about it carefully, after distributing these 2,000 kilograms of rice, each family will not get much.

This is something from the village and should be shared by every household.

Fortunately, Zhou Xiaozhou and the others don’t care about these small things. After all, they will gain more.

When Ge Meili saw that they had finished talking, she tiptoed over and pulled Zhou Xiaozhou aside to talk in private.

"Big ship, we really need to send it off!"
