Since Wang Qian had already said that, Yang Shenglong and the others naturally didn't say anything more.

They genuinely felt that Wang Dalin's actions were despicable and wanted to stand up for Wang Qian.

But Wang Qian himself felt it was unnecessary, so they naturally wouldn't cause any trouble.

"Brother Long, here's your pay for today!"

Wang Qian kept his word and paid each person two yuan in wages first.

Yang Shenglong and his companions didn't stand on ceremony. After accepting the money, they ate at Wang Qian's house.

"Xiao Qian, you not only pay us wages, but you also feed us so well. Aren't you losing out big time?"

While eating the dishes cooked by Lu Aihua, Yang Shenglong joked with a smile.

They had a meal there yesterday and haven't been able to stop thinking about it.

After all, they are country folk, and they rarely get to eat meat even once a month.

Yesterday, after they helped Wang Qian load the truck, they enjoyed a delicious meat meal.

I can't believe there are still some today!

This is simply too extravagant for them.

So even though there was so much meat in their bowls that they couldn't finish it, they were afraid that Wang Qian would think they were too greedy, so no matter how much they wanted to eat, they only dared to pick up a piece occasionally.

"Brother Long, you're being too polite!"

Wang Qian smiled and waved his hand, "I can't say anything else, but since you're here to help, there's plenty of food."

Seeing that Yang Shenglong and the others were still a bit reserved, he urged them, "Everyone, just eat as much as you like, don't be shy. Only when you eat well will you have the energy to work, right?"

He's been making more and more money these past few days.

Every time I come back from the county town, I have to buy a few pounds of meat.

This is not reckless spending, but rather using it effectively.

If you make money but can't even solve the most basic problem of eating, then what's the point of making money?

So he was never stingy when it came to food.

Soon after, everyone finished their meal.

The truck finally arrived in Wang Qian's yard.

With their combined efforts, Yang Shenglong and his companions quickly loaded over 10,000 jin of potatoes and over 5,000 jin of corn onto the truck.

Wang Qian was originally prepared to lend a hand, but Yang Shenglong refused to let him.

Their meaning is very simple!

If they take the money, they have to get things done properly, otherwise they'll feel guilty about taking it.

Helpless, Wang Qian had no choice but to go with them.

After all, he paid for the meal and invited the other party to help him so that he could save himself some energy to do other things.

If he does everything himself, he'll be exhausted even if he has three heads and six arms when the business grows bigger.

Soon after, a truck loaded with potatoes and corn finally set off.

Destination: the county town!

"Hey, I knew it. His business wouldn't last long."

Watching the truck drive away, Chen Mei, who was observing from the edge of the field, suddenly broke into a big smile.

“Look at this, yesterday Wang Qian’s potatoes filled an entire truck, but today, with the corn added, it barely filled one truck. It seems that Wang Dalin is really going to steal his business.”

Seeing that her neighbor remained silent, she continued her rambling, "I've said it before, Wang Qian won't buy my potatoes, and I'm too lazy to sell them to him anyway."

"Now Wang Dalin has also started a potato business, and he's offering a higher price than Wang Qian's. Who would sell to him?"

"Old Li, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Seeing that Lao Li remained silent, Chen Mei nudged him with her shoulder and elbow, giving him a threatening look.

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

Even if Old Li had done something wrong and disagreed a thousand times in his heart, he still nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. "Besides, everyone's potatoes are almost harvested. Even if Wang Qian can continue to rip everyone off with low prices, I reckon his business won't last much longer."

"At least you have some conscience!"

Chen Mei's face immediately lit up with a smile, filled with boundless anticipation. "Once Wang Dalin snatches your business away, let's see how arrogant you can be then!"

...

An hour later.

Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd.

"Wow, we just finalized the deal yesterday, and you've already brought in so much corn today. You're very efficient!"

Looking at the dozens of bags of corn, Li Guangsheng was very satisfied.

But after glancing at the pile of potatoes beside him, he frowned again. "Why are there fewer potatoes today than yesterday?"

He thought that the potatoes Wang Qian brought in would only increase day by day.

Surprisingly, there were even fewer today than yesterday.

"There's no other way, a truck can only carry this much, it's simply too full!"

Wang Qian naturally wouldn't mention that Wang Dalin was stealing his business, but simply made up an excuse, saying, "Tomorrow, I'll rent another truck, so I can carry more."

"Alright, then it's up to you!"

Li Guangsheng was quite decisive, waving his hand, "Drive it to the weighbridge right now and I'll count out the money for you!"

"good!"

Wang Qian nodded, then turned to the driver, "Brother Yong, thank you for your help!"

"It's nothing!"

Zou Yong smiled and immediately drove the truck to the weigh station.

The weight was quickly determined.

There were 10,652 jin of potatoes. At 27 cents per jin, the total cost was 2,876.4 yuan.

As for the corn, there were 5,438 catties, which, at 3 cents per catty, amounted to 1,631.4 yuan.

In total, the turnover of this trip reached an astonishing 4,507 yuan.

After deducting the cost of purchasing potatoes and corn, as well as transportation fees, Wang Qian's net profit today is as high as more than 2,200 yuan.

As for some minor expenses, he hasn't even included them in his calculations.

All he knew was that he had over 5,500 yuan on him.
