Chapter 104 Weighing and Harvesting Vegetables



Xu Ying was really thirsty. She took the cup of water, but her hand, which had just been stretched out, was frozen there, so she had to take off her scarf.

"Mom, I'm not thirsty. Let's put away the vegetables first!" Xu Ying said, then glanced at Xu Jing and said, "Let's get started."

As Xu Jing called out "start", the aunt at the front of the line put the two largest cabbages she grew on the scale.

"Two heads of Chinese cabbage weighing eight pounds." These are the cabbages with the bad outer skin peeled off, leaving only intact leaves.

Brother Xu called out, and Xu Jing quickly took out a pen and wrote it down: 8 pounds of cabbage costs 20 cents.

"Fifteen pounds of green vegetables."

Xu Jing took the pen and wrote down quickly, "15 pounds of vegetables, 2 cents per pound," a total of 30 cents.

"A large yellow croaker weighs three pounds."

A pound of yellow croaker costs 40 cents, and three pounds costs one or two yuan.

Xu Jing quickly calculated the price, which was one dollar and seventy cents in total.

"Aunt Zhang, the total is one dollar and seventy cents."

Aunt Zhang took the money and smiled from ear to ear. One dollar and seventy cents a day, that’s more than fifty dollars a month.

This is more than what regular workers earn.

When the villagers heard that Aunt Zhang had earned so much money, they all congratulated her.

Then came the second family, Sun Dacao’s. She didn’t have many vegetables, but a lot of mushrooms. She earned five yuan directly, and she was the happiest one.

She also found Xu's mother more pleasing to the eye, and she flattered her with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I think you are the most capable one, and you can give birth to great children.

She has a good job, is good-looking, and has abilities, especially your daughter, who is even more amazing than the gods in heaven."

Mother Xu was delighted in her heart, but she looked unhappy: "Sun Dacao, you can talk but you can't. Don't talk nonsense. We can't be superstitious now. My daughter is smart, but she is not a deity in heaven."

Sun Dacao was also a little panicked, and quickly explained: "I said Xu Ying is smart and better than a fairy, but I didn't say she is a fairy. Isn't she powerful? If it weren't for her, we would all be able to make so much money. The New Year is coming soon. This year, everyone in our village will have to cut a few more pounds of meat. This is all thanks to Xu Ying."

After hearing this, Xu's mother opened her mouth, but she still said modestly: "Da Cao, it's not as great as you say. My daughter just watches her father worry about everyone's life every day.

She racked her brains to come up with this idea. At that time, she was afraid that the leader would not agree. Who knew that our Director Sun was a good leader who cared about the people and agreed immediately.

As soon as I heard about this, I immediately ran to the county town to discuss this matter with my daughter’s restaurant buyer.”

"Da Cao, please go to the side and let us weigh the goods. Please do it quickly so as not to delay the business hours of the restaurant."

When Sun Dacao heard this, he quickly stepped aside.

The next household was Xujia Village, and among the more than 100 households, every household had no less than one yuan. The highest was still the Huo family. Everyone said that the Huo Chen family was poor, but after this time, no one dared to say that.

Huo Chen sold it for eleven dollars directly. If he did this every day, he would make hundreds of dollars a month.

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned bright when they looked at Huo Chen.

After Huo Chen finished selling the things, he glanced at Xu Ying. They looked at each other and both knew what was going on.

Xu Ying saw that all the goods had been packed up. She explained the statistical tables of other villages to Xu Jing, then said goodbye to Xu's mother and returned to the county town.

As soon as she left, Huo Chen followed her to the county town.

"The things are all in this room. I bought them from my colleagues and other friends. What price can you give me?" Xu Ying asked, pointing to the things on the ground.

Huo Chen went to check them out and his eyes lit up. These things were all first-rate products. Things on the black market were expensive to begin with, and these could be sold for a lot of money.

"If you don't need a ticket, flour is one dollar per pound, rice is one dollar and thirty dollars per pound, pork is two dollars, and hens are two dollars and fifty dollars per pound." The prices Huo Chen mentioned were already very high.

Xu Ying was quite satisfied with the price. There were 50 jin of white flour at one yuan per jin, so 50 jin was 50 yuan. There were 35 jin of rice, so the total was 45.5 yuan.

Ten pounds of pork costs twenty yuan, and there are two hens, each of which is very fat, about five pounds, so ten pounds costs a total of twenty-five yuan.

Huo Chen simply counted the money and gave it to Xu Ying, a total of one hundred and forty-five yuan. Xu Ying took the money and her exposed eyes curved with a smile.

Huo Chen looked at her happily, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "Then I'll go first."

"Well, be careful!" Xu Ying earned so much money and it was rare for her to show some concern.

Huo Chen was even more delighted, as if he had eaten honey: "I know.

Just leave the stuff here first, I'll come get it later?"

Xu Ying nodded, thinking that it was inconvenient for him to pick up the goods during the day: "Okay, then come back after 7pm. I have something else to do in the afternoon and I'm not here."

Huo Chen was somewhat unhappy when he heard this. He responded in a muffled voice and turned away.

Xu Ying didn't know why he suddenly got angry. After seeing him leave, she turned around and put the money together with the previous money. Now she had more than 200 yuan back in her hand.

My salary will be paid the day after tomorrow, and the total will be a little over three hundred.

There are still a lot of supplies in the space. If they are all sold, there will be at least several thousand.

Watching Huo Chen walk away, Xu Ying disguised herself, took out a set of clothes similar to those worn by old ladies, wrapped herself tightly and went out.

She couldn't just rely on Huo Chen, she had to go out and explore the market herself.

Otherwise, since she relied on Huo Chen, she didn't dare to sell goods to him every day, otherwise the source of the goods would arouse his suspicion.

Xu Ying had never been to the black market, so she could only try her luck in some remote corners.

People in the black market certainly don't dare to set up shop on the streets openly, as they are just waiting to be caught.

She was carrying a big basket and wandering around. She met several people on the way, but she was not sure if they would not report her.

If you happen to meet those who do this business, you will be caught.

"Auntie, are you selling something?" A familiar voice sounded, and when Xu Ying turned around, it turned out to be Wu Qingsong.

Xu Ying was immediately overjoyed. This guy often followed Huo Chen, so they must be doing business together.

She changed her voice, making it sound more mature, and she hunched over and said slowly, "Young man, my child is sick, and the medicine he needs is very expensive.

There is nothing I can do about it. If you want it, I will sell it to you."

Wu Qingsong looked at her basket. It was so small, what could be in it? He suddenly regretted calling her.

But seeing the sadness in the old woman's eyes, he couldn't bear it: "What do you have?"

"I have five chickens, all of them are fat, as well as two hundred kilograms of flour, two hundred kilograms of rice, twenty ducks, and one hundred kilograms of pork." Xu Ying coughed a few times as he spoke, looking like he was half buried in the ground.

Wu Qingsong widened his eyes after hearing all this and said, “I have to go back and discuss this with my brother.”

Mainly because there are just too many.

Xu Ying was immediately unhappy when she heard this: "Do you want me to go and see again? I'm in a hurry to get money to go back for treatment."

"You haven't told me the price yet. If it's suitable, I'll take it." Wu Qingsong shouted anxiously.
