After the incident with these three thugs, those who had originally wanted to get a piece of the pie reluctantly stopped their pursuit.

"Hey, girl, you're finally here!"

Xu Lai was still quite a distance from where Chen Cheng had parked his truck when she saw him and Hei Zi running towards her on their electric tricycle.

Chen Cheng and Hei Zi were especially delighted to see the tricycle behind Xu Lai filled with a full load of goods.

Seeing Xu Haiguo beside Xu Lai, Chen Cheng was happy, but he also politely asked Xu Lai, "Is this Uncle Xu?"

"This is my dad, he came to help me today!"

After Xu Lai made the introductions, Chen Cheng and Hei Zi greeted Xu Haiguo warmly.

Before the natural disaster, Xu Haiguo was also someone who traveled around a lot. He saw that the person who did business with his daughter was not only very polite, but also made people feel comfortable. He knew that this person, who had cooperated with his daughter many times, was worth cooperating with.

So she shook hands with him very warmly.

"Is this carriage full of fruit?"

After Xu Lai parked the electric tricycle in the shade behind the truck, Chen Cheng and Hei Zi asked excitedly.

"Brother Chen, you'll see for yourself!"

Before Xu Lai could make a move, Xu Haiguo, who was standing to the side, quickly removed the insulation cotton covering the electric tricycle.

"Xiao Chen, this fruit was picked by my family yesterday afternoon, it's very fresh!"

As soon as the insulation was removed, Chen Cheng and Hei Zi smelled a rich fruity aroma emanating from the carriage.

"It's really fresh, it's good stuff!"

Chen Cheng and Hei Zi exchanged a glance, then stood around the tricycle, gently tapping the watermelon or looking at the cantaloupe and honeydew melon.

Especially when they saw the sun-dried green grapes, 'Beauty Finger' grapes, and 'Kyoho' grapes separated by layers of insulation cotton in the basket, their faces showed a pitiful excitement.

Chen Cheng and Hei Zi both knew how precious fruit was these days, so they only carefully examined the appearance of the various grapes without tasting them.

The sun-ripened green grapes are crystal clear, plump and green, with a dazzling yellow-green hue—beautiful and tempting.

The Black Beauty Finger grapes are bluish-black. When you gently pick up a bunch, the berries are compact, each one thicker and longer than your little finger.

The skin of the Kyoho grape is purplish-black, and each grape is plump and round, larger than a quail egg.

The two brothers couldn't even bear to taste such beautiful fruit.

Seeing this, Xu Lai quickly picked a few of each of the three types of grapes and handed them to the two of them.

"Try it quickly, otherwise how will you recommend it to others when you're selling it!"

As for her and her father and daughter, they had already eaten at home.

Although my elderly mother said the fruit was expensive and should be saved to sell, in the end, we still kept half a basin for the family to enjoy.

As you put a sun-ripened green grape in your mouth, a faint rose fragrance immediately spreads from your taste buds to your body and mind.

Black Beauty grapes have a thinner skin than Sun Green grapes. When you take a bite, you can see the bright red flesh. They are sweet, juicy, and have a delicate texture.

Kyoho grapes are sweet with a hint of tartness, and one bite leaves you wanting more.

"These grapes are delicious!"

Heizi can't describe things; he can only eat a grape and say "delicious" or "sweet"!

The two of them each tasted one grape from the handful they were holding, and couldn't bear to eat the rest.

Both of them carefully put the remaining grapes into their pockets.

Xu Lai guessed that the two probably wanted to take it back for their families to try.

After tasting it, the next step was to discuss the price and weigh it.

"Sister, Uncle Xu, yesterday we said that two watermelons, regardless of size, would be worth ten grams of gold. The cucumbers would be worth eighty work points per pound, the cantaloupes one hundred work points per pound, and the grapes, I'll give you two hundred work points per pound. What do you think?"

After hearing Chen Cheng's offer, Xu Lai and her father exchanged a glance and both felt that the price was indeed quite reasonable.

A pound of grapes is something that a doctor like Xiao Rui and a seasoned IT professional like Lu Ping would need to work for ten days to earn.

Xu Haiguo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then nodded to his daughter.

"Alright, Brother Chen, we'll sell it for this price!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Cheng and Hei Zi were overjoyed. Hei Zi quickly went to the truck, took down the electronic scale, and began to weigh the fruit.

Hei Zi called out the numbers while Chen Cheng counted them down.

"Twelve watermelons!"

After Hei Zi finished counting and Chen Cheng finished recording, the two began to move the watermelons onto Chen Cheng's truck.

Xu Haiguo had a good impression of the two and quickly went to help them.

"Hei Zi, turn on the air conditioning in the carriage!"

After the watermelon was loaded into the truck, Chen Cheng wiped the sweat from his face, frowned at the glaring sun in the sky, and immediately ordered Hei Zi to turn on the air conditioner.

Running the air conditioner requires gasoline. Although gasoline is expensive, it's nothing compared to the limited supply of fruit currently available in City C!

If those fruits are ruined by this high temperature, the loss will be huge.

Hei Zi listened to his boss's words and climbed into the driver's seat without hesitation, turning on the air conditioning in the vehicle.

"After the watermelons are transported, it's time for the vegetable melons."

"Two baskets of cucumbers, totaling 136 jin!"

"Two baskets of cantaloupes, totaling 128 jin!"

"Three large baskets of grapes, 115 jin of Sunshine Green grapes, 132 jin of Kyoho grapes, and 121 jin of Black Beauty grapes!"

"That makes a total of 368 jin of grapes!"

After Hei Zi finished counting, Chen Cheng immediately used his phone calculator to calculate the total weight of the grapes.

"Now that we have the weight, let's calculate the price!"

Chen Cheng was about to calculate the price when Xu Lai stopped him.

"Brother Chen, please deduct the weight of these seven baskets first. Each basket weighs about two pounds!"

These seven baskets weigh over ten kilograms each, which is worth quite a few work points.

Upon hearing Xu Lai's words, Chen Cheng was immediately moved by her sincerity.

Although they were in the business of buying and selling, Chen Cheng was not ungrateful for the sincerity others showed him.

"Okay, thanks a lot, miss. Because of what you said, I'll definitely get you a nice minivan!"

After Xu Lai thanked Chen Cheng again, the two started calculating the price.

The watermelon was worth 60 grams of gold, which is equivalent to 6,000 work points.

After deducting the weight of the two baskets, the vegetable melons were worth 10,560 work points.

The cantaloupe, after deducting the weight of the basket, was worth 12,400 work points.

Subtracting the six jin from three bamboo baskets of grapes, we get 362 jin, which is a total of 72,400 work points.

The total is 101,360 work points.

Chen Cheng knew Xu Lai's habit: he always wanted gold in every transaction.

Ten grams of gold equals one thousand work points, and so many work points can be converted into one thousand and thirteen and six grams of gold.

"Girl, I'll settle the gold amount in whole numbers. Three hundred and sixty work points will get you a work point card!"
