Chapter 18 Delicate and Tempting
Now, when rice is cheap, it is 30 cents per pound on the market, and when it is expensive, it is 50 cents per pound.
White flour is more expensive, about 70 or 80 cents per pound.
The price of fruits ranges from 40 cents to one or two yuan, depending on their rarity and quality.
After comparing the current prices, Lin Yunxi said:
“I don’t set the price too high. Rice is 80 cents per pound, and flour is one dollar per pound.
All fruits, regardless of variety, are 3 yuan per pound.”
In modern times, both grains and vegetables come out of her farm.
The price will definitely be dozens of times higher than the average price on the market.
Even so, there is a constant stream of people coming to buy.
Some who failed to grab the items even cried and complained on Weibo, begging for more orders.
When Jiang Houxiong heard this, he was so shocked that he almost fell off his chair. There were so many things!
He silently calculated in his mind that buying these goods would cost him most of the savings he had accumulated over the years.
If you are not ruthless, you cannot stand firm.
Jiang Houxiong gritted his teeth and said, "I want them all. Brother Lin, you must leave all these goods to me."
Excluding rice and flour, only these fruits are sold.
His net worth may increase several times or more, and he can at least work less for five or six years.
The main reason is that these super high quality rare fruits are not available for sale in the provincial capital.
He sold it at several times the price and there were still a lot of people buying it.
If this deal is successful, he will be able to occupy a certain position in the black market even in the provincial capital, let alone a small county town.
Thinking of this, Jiang Houxiong's heart was burning with excitement, and he wished he could make the deal right there and then.
Here, Lin Yunxi wished that he could eat the goods by himself, so that he could save a lot of energy and reduce the risk of being discovered.
"Okay, then let's set the date for the transaction at nine o'clock tomorrow night in the woods outside the city. You come in alone, and the others wait outside."
"No problem, I know the rules and will be there on time."
After figuring out the strength of the person in front of him, Jiang Houxiong would not dare to act rashly even if she didn't say anything.
Before leaving, Lin Yunxi took out the samples from the backpack and placed them on the table, saying proudly.
"Boss Jiang is generous, so I can't be stingy. I'll leave this little bit of fruit for Boss Jiang to taste."
Jiang Houxiong laughed loudly and respectfully escorted his benefactor out of the door:
"Thank you, Brother Lin. I will obey your orders."
After coming out of the black market, Lin Yunxi kept paying attention to the movements behind him, fortunately no one was following him.
Even so, she was still very cautious and took a detour through the alleys.
We came to a dilapidated, uninhabited courtyard.
After Lin Yunxi looked around and made sure it was safe, he suddenly appeared in the space.
She quickly changed her clothes, took off her wig, squatted beside the spring, and rinsed the makeup off her face.
When Lin Yunxi first came here, the original owner looked exactly like her.
But her skin and body condition are nothing like her modern appearance.
Lin Yunxi has always paid attention to maintenance, especially skin care, so in the more than two months since she came here.
After being subtly nourished and cleansed by the spiritual spring water, her condition slowly returned to its previous peak.
Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, and her oval face, which was the size of a palm, showed off her fair and flawless skin with a faint blush.
The curved eyebrows and long eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly flapping its wings.
A pair of clear almond-shaped eyes that seem to be able to speak, watery and moving, and thin red lips as delicate and tempting as roses.
The loose grey clothes could not hide her beauty at all.
After finishing the cleanup, Lin Yunxi came to the livestock area, and she had an idea.
A big fat pig was processed in an instant, and the pork was divided into pieces according to different parts.
Lin Yunxi selected two pounds of spare ribs, five pounds of pork belly and two pig's trotters.
He picked out a dozen red apples from the warehouse and then left the space.
In a couple of days, the fruits she sold will be circulated on the black market, so it wouldn't be a surprise to take them back now.
On the other side, Jiang Houxiong looked at his younger brothers staring at the fruits on the table.
He subconsciously covered it with a cloth, but then he felt that this was inappropriate and unworthy of his elder brother demeanor.
Jiang Houxiong's old face turned red, he cleared his throat and said:
"Your sister-in-law has been vomiting these past two days and can't eat, so I'll take this little fruit away first."
"Brothers, share the remaining refined rice and flour and take them back to improve your lives."
"Thank you, big brother." If there is no fruit, white rice and white flour will be fine. The younger brothers thanked him one after another.
Jiang Houxiong was right. His wife was pregnant, but she was not looking well and was vomiting all the time.
I recovered a little in the past two days and told him I wanted to eat some fresh fruit.
Just when he was sleepy, someone brought him a pillow. When he took these rare fruits back, his wife must have jumped for joy.
The sun was already high in the sky. Lin Yunxi looked at the height of the sun and estimated that it was already noon.
Because she had breakfast early, her stomach was already growling with hunger.
Lin Yunxi came to the state-owned restaurant with a backpack on his back, ready to have lunch.
The state-owned restaurant looks similar to the layout of some modern small restaurants.
There is a blackboard outside the door with today's menu written on it.
There were more than a dozen tables and chairs neatly arranged in the room. Lin Yunxi chose a corner to put his things down, and then went to the window.
"Hello, comrade. Could you please give me a portion of stir-fried pork with chili peppers and two taels of rice?"
It was lunchtime, and the waitress was so busy that she said without even looking up, "Thirty cents plus two taels of food coupons."
His attitude was neither lukewarm nor as overbearing as described in some novels.
Lin Yunxi handed over the money and sat down waiting for the meal.
It was time for the factory workers to get off work, and more and more people began to fill the restaurant.
"Hello, can I sit next to you?"
A tiny voice sounded in my ears, which could be easily ignored if I didn't listen carefully.
Lin Yunxi looked up and saw a young girl.
He was wearing a big mask on his face, looking reserved, with his fingers nervously fastening his trouser legs.
"Sure." She said generously.
After hearing the answer, the girl breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you."
After a while, the food Lin Yunxi ordered was ready, and she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started eating.
The heat for stir-fried pork with peppers was not controlled well, the meat slices were too dry, the peppers were added too early, the pork was fried too soft, and the taste was not good.
But the rice is steamed well, with the right softness and hardness.
But it really can't compare to the texture and taste of the rice that has been improved with the spiritual spring water in the space.
Lin Yunxi was used to eating grains and vegetables produced in the space, so the food in front of him didn’t taste delicious at all, it was just for filling her stomach.
But she still ate it all. After all, wasting food was shameful, especially in the 1970s when food was scarce.
