This is not a question of money.
Zhang Yanping didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Brother Loach, if you're going to pull grass here tomorrow, we'll cover your three meals a day for free, why bother spending the money?"
"That won't work."
Brother Loach has his own theory: "Tomorrow is tomorrow's meal, but I am greedy now, I must eat it tonight!"
"Just tell me how much it is. Two hundred is fine? If not, three hundred? Three hundred is really fine, right? Still not? No, I'm willing to pay three hundred, but I can't bear to pay four hundred! Just three hundred! Brother, just give me an extra pair of clavicles, why can't three hundred be enough?"
He hadn't forgotten that the eels they had received in the morning were not given to them at noon! The lunch boxes they sent over were so delicious, what if they were served with a few more hard dishes -
Ouch, I dare not think about it, otherwise my saliva will flow out.
Zhang Yanping was ecstatic, thinking that with a meal allowance of 300 yuan, I would be stupid not to earn more!
But he still put on a helpless look and sighed, "Then I'll go ask the chef. It's not that we don't want to make money, but we call the chef our uncle. If he doesn't want to, there's nothing we can do."
Everyone understands this logic. After all, they are the elders. With their words, this meal seems even more precious.
Brother Loach negotiated the deal and followed him with his equipment in hand. Three loaches plopped in the empty bucket, looking particularly ugly.
However, as I walked, I always felt that something was not right.
When he turned around again, he saw that the other nine brothers had followed him silently.
Everyone met his gaze, smiled, and then began to send him messages crazily:
It's obvious that you don't know how to bargain. Three hundred per person is too expensive!
The farm meals we ate in the past were not of this standard. Only the meals in luxury mountain resorts cost this much.
Brother Loach is not the kind of person who is short of money!
What's more, he couldn't help but eat three servings at noon, so you can imagine how much he liked the food!
Thinking back on it now, I almost drool.
So he replied proudly:
I'm talking about the price for myself, they didn't say they'd prepare meals for you. It's getting dark, why don't you pack up and go home, I'll be here for the rest of the day.
That's right.
Brother Loach remembered something:
You have seen the fish in this pond. We can't catch them because we don't have the ability. But you also know the food and the environment here. If people on the forum ask about it, everyone knows what to say, right
A few people were huddled at the back, muttering to each other. Zhang Yanping glanced at them from a distance, then hurried back to the yard - he had to discuss with everyone in advance about the charges and the menu.
Seeing him walk away, the group of men breathed a sigh of relief and took out their cell phones.
Seeing that someone in the forum was already asking about the details of today, everyone looked at each other, patted their own gains for the day, and then sighed and began to type sadly:
Let's see. We set off at 1 a.m., and drove for two hours on a winding mountain road. The pond looked nice, but for ten of us, this was all we got today.
Brother Loach nodded with satisfaction, then rolled his eyes and added:
To be honest, they didn't lie, they did provide brunch, and it tasted very good.
But it is also true that the one who catches the least fish has to stay here and pull grass all day. Yes, that's me. Brothers, let's do farm work tomorrow!
Oh my god, what is this place
This is fishing, not gourmet food!
There are so many places that make great farm meals, who wants to wait by the pond all day for this!
The main thing is fish!
But looking at the harvest, everyone immediately understood.
—This unscrupulous farm stay even lied for publicity purposes, how shameless!
that is!
Many followers gathered below and started discussing telling the moderator to block the previous promotional post.
Zhang Yanping really didn't pay attention to his own posts at the moment.
He just rushed back home, and then asked Song Tan: "The loser has to have dinner with us, 300 yuan a meal - I think we should just pay for his accommodation."
Song Sancheng jumped up from his chair in an instant: "Alone?"
"One person! One meal."
"The remaining few didn't discuss the price with me, but they all caught up."
Song Tan was also quite satisfied: "Brother Yan Ping, you are really good at taking charge of this matter."
Zhang Yanping did not dare to take credit for it: "It's mainly because our dishes are good and my cousin's cooking skills are good that they are willing to pay this price. But I have to help him find a place to sleep tonight, and he will help us pull grass tomorrow."
There was no place for them to live in their home, but when Zhang Yanping said this, Song Tan understood.
After pondering for a while, he turned around and asked Song Sancheng, "Dad, what do you think about arranging this person to live with Aunt Bonnie?"
At the beginning of spring, Li Baoni helped their family clean up the farmland.
Her two children are in college, but Aunt Bonnie's husband broke his waist at a construction site earlier this year and is currently recovering.
Of course, the accommodation fee in the farmhouse is definitely not high, but it allows Song Tan to see another way.
Wulan listened from the side, still a little hesitant:
"Isn't it inappropriate to charge people for just one night's stay?"
"Appropriate."
Song Tan explained to her mother: "Situations like today's will definitely happen again in the future. Can you keep borrowing for one night? Just put a price on it. Sister Bonnie's house is clean and tidy, and she can speak well."
"Houses in our village are not expensive, 50 yuan a night. Just pay from the 300 yuan. Mom, can you help ask if they are willing to pay?"
Why wouldn't I be unwilling about that? The house will be empty anyway!
Wulan didn't make any more calls and just walked out.
Aunt Lianhua was still busy at the side. Upon hearing this, she sighed with envy: "How come this money is so easy to make?"
What a pity.
There is a paralyzed old lady and a single woman in her family. Now it is neither safe nor appropriate to arrange for strangers to come to the village.
However, Song Tan still advised: "What's the big deal, Aunt Lianhua, isn't your house clean? If there are female guests in the future, you can entertain them at home and it will be a great help to us."
Although there are no female customers coming to fish for the time being, who can say for sure what will happen in the future
Aunt Lianhua also laughed: "I dare not think about that. I think my life is pretty good working in your house now."
"My old lady brought home a big bowl of rice at noon and ate it all up."
Old people, as long as you can eat with a good appetite, your health will be good.
Just for this, Aunt Lianhua wished she had another pair of arms to help clean up.
