Upon opening her eyes, Shen Qing found herself in a mud-and-thatch hut, wearing clothes covered in patches, eating corn paste, and seeing no trace of meat or oil. Shen Qing: This is too miserable! ...
Chapter 198 Win-Win Cooperation
Liu Cuihua thought that fifty cents could only buy twenty-five kilograms of coarse grains, let alone refined grains.
But the price Shen Qing offered was not five kilograms of coarse grains, but fine grains. I couldn't accept this no matter what.
She knew that Shen Qing's family had the most grain, and exchanging it for grain would save them the trouble of going down the mountain to buy more grain and transporting it back. She said, "No, for the rest, just give me 25 kilograms of coarse grains."
Shen Qing disagreed with everything.
Twenty-five kilograms of whole grains are more expensive than fifty kilograms of refined grains! And honey can originally buy twenty-five kilograms of whole grains, so neither side is worth it!
"My family only has refined grains. Cuihua, you don't have to save for me. I tell you, honey won't be a loss to me. If I lose money one day, I naturally won't exchange refined grains with you. Do you understand?"
Liu Cuihua's eyes were wet and she almost cried.
She knew that Shen Qing was capable. Everyone who went to the village that day said so. She didn't expect that she not only took care of her own village, but also took care of them, who she had just known for a short time!
She said she wouldn't lose money, but she could have made more money...
Shen Qing thought again that the Lei family sold leather materials to make money. They had no shortage of meat to eat, and the money they earned was nothing more than exchanging for food and daily necessities. Later, selling astragalus provided an additional source of income, so wouldn't it be a problem to exchange the leather materials for food?
The categories currently available in her mall do not allow books to be taken out, and even if they are taken out, they cannot be exchanged for anything;
Tools are selectively used, but the benefits they bring are basically one-time, with no follow-up or long-term benefits.
Only grains can be used repeatedly, and refined grains maximize profits, so she can only fleece them repeatedly.
"Cuihua, all the prey you hunt, regardless of price or value, all the raw materials, leave them to me. You can pay me in silver or exchange them for fine grains. Don't worry, the fine grains will definitely be much cheaper than what you paid for them. You can eat fine grains for the price of coarse grains! How do you think?"
Since I have decided to go for the high-end boutique route, the wool materials of precious and rare prey are indispensable, and the pen holders are made of precious wood, each one has a different price.
For the rest, it is better to sell ordinary rabbit hair, wool, chinchilla hair, etc. at a low profit but in large quantities.
Liu Cuihua turned her back, wiped it with her hand, turned around and smiled broadly: "Okay, I heard from your villagers that you taught them to make brushes;
The brushes need leather materials, and don't worry, the price I give you is cheaper than the leather material dealers in the city! Not to mention the price you paid there."
When Shen Qing and her group came, she finally realized what it meant that a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!
When the Cao family came, the three families were indeed excited for many days, thinking about building good relationships and taking care of each other in the future. However, even if she thought the things she sent were the best, to Mrs. Cao it was just a cheap way of currying favor with her.
Telling people about the various situations in the mountains would also be considered as being naive and making a fuss.
When it was Shen Qing and the others' turn, to be honest, they didn't dare to be too happy, nor did they dare to be too enthusiastic at the beginning, for fear that they would be rejected like the Cao family did that time. It was so close, they almost missed it.
Shen Qing was also very happy.
This is a raw material supplier with whom we have established long-term cooperative relations!
It is also a unique high-quality first-hand supplier.
"By the way, I need live rabbits. If you catch any, keep them for me. We're planning to raise them."
Liu Cuihua was extremely surprised: "There are rabbits everywhere in the mountains. Why are you raising them? They are always fertile. If you want more, I can ask them to give you more."
Shen Qing smiled and said, "You can sell me as many as you want, but I still have to raise them."
No matter how many there are, they can’t catch them every day, especially since there are not only hunters in the mountains, but also many natural enemies;
Rabbit hair is a common wool material and is in great demand in workshops. Artificial breeding can adjust the quantity and provide real-time supply. Most importantly, rabbit meat is edible and delicious!
Liu Cuihua simply assumed the brush workshop was in high demand, so she readily replied, "Okay, I'll have the boss set up a few more traps, and I'll be able to send you a dozen live ones in three to five days at most!"
Shen Qing hurriedly thanked him, thinking that there was indeed a trap on the mountain.
Liu Cuihua hurried back to call on the Lei family to dig astragalus. The two of them talked as they walked. After crossing the wooden bridge, Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong also came back following Feng Xing and Feng Tao. Shen Qing and the other two accompanied them all the way to the foot of the mountain before turning back.
Shen Qing hurried back to collect stones to build a rabbit hole to prevent rabbits from digging holes.
Feng Xing and Feng Tao went to help turn and dry the astragalus.
On the way up the mountain, Chunxiaqiudong told the news he had heard: "Mom, the villagers are already repairing the entrance."
"Not only did they work hard to make bricks and cut wood, but each household also contributed money to buy iron chains."
"I heard that when things get quieter later, they'll widen and deepen the river. They say it'll be safer that way."
Liu Cuihua asked in surprise, "Didn't we agree that the Lei family would also contribute to the renovation of the entrance? Why didn't they notify us?"
Lei Qiutian analyzed: "Auntie, they must think that they live at the foot of the mountain and their safety is their own business. Our Lei family lives too high up and is very safe, so they are embarrassed to come to our three families."
"Yes, especially since they originally said we would just contribute labor, but now we have to pay money as well. They may be afraid that we will think they are blackmailing us. Since we have already paid the money, they might as well contribute the labor as well." Lei Dongtian guessed.
The Cao family was so disgusting, and Feng Tao and her fellow villagers were so honest. What would they do if they were taken advantage of by the Cao family in the future? Would they be able to fight back?
She was worried about these people!
The other four also sighed.
It would be nice if they were the only two people in the mountain, but there's also the Cao family, they're not the easiest to get along with...
"Lei family, I have something to tell you."
A familiar and disgusted voice came from the hillside, speaking from above.
Liu Cuihua really doesn't like being called "Lei Jia's" especially since she has been told many times that people should just call her Cuihua, but people still call her that every time.
Even though she hated it, she couldn't bring herself to embarrass herself in front of him, so she could only put on a smile and ask, "Auntie, what's the matter?"
Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong all stood behind Liu Cuihua with their mouths lowered and remained silent.
Mrs. Cao glanced at the four girls and rebuked them unhappily, "The most important thing for a girl is etiquette and filial piety. If you don't greet your elders when you see them, how can you serve your parents-in-law after you marry into your husband's family?"
If you don't serve your parents-in-law well, you will also be scolded by the elders of your family! You are not young anymore, why don't you learn how to be a wife? "
The four little girls' originally happy mood suddenly became depressed.
Even if they had dreams of getting married in the past, they had long since disappeared due to Grandma Cao's words and actions in the past few years.
I'm even extremely afraid of getting married!
"My three grandsons are all outstanding and truly the best. You just have to work hard, and I, an old woman, can barely consider them.
Otherwise, if you marry a farmer, you will suffer a lifetime of hardship..."
