Wang Yanmei laughed twice, thinking she was just being polite: "Come if you want to eat. There's no need to pay for it."
"Okay, then I'll come often." Wen Shanshan agreed immediately. After all, it's really hard to refuse such delicious food.
Although you can buy vegetables and cook them at home, Aunt Wang’s cooking skills are really great and she can make any dish delicious. Aunt Liu’s previous Chinese cabbage tasted good, but it felt more because the vegetables themselves were delicious.
But she also knew that it was not a good idea to eat for free every day.
However, if she offered to pay for the meal, the aunt would definitely not accept it.
Oh, right, then she could spend a lot of money to buy more bayberries from their family! This way, she would feel more at ease if she could get a few more meals!
"By the way, Auntie, I want to buy some bayberries." Wen Shanshan said.
Wang Yanmei was clearing the dishes and waved her hand: "What are you talking about buying? If you want to eat some, auntie will take you to the back mountain to pick some. There are so many bayberries at home that you can't even finish them all."
"No, I want to buy 500 kilograms of bayberry to send to my family and some friends, and eat some myself."
"Five hundred kilograms?" Xu Fuqiang was stunned.
Wang Yanmei was equally dumbfounded: "Five hundred kilograms? Are you sure you want to buy that much?"
"Yeah, I have a lot of relatives and friends, including some of my brother's friends." Wen Shanshan took out her cell phone, "Auntie, how much money is there? I'll transfer it to you."
"This..." Wang Yanmei didn't know how to say the price. Although someone bought her bayberry for two hundred yuan a catty, in her heart, Shanshan was just like a little girl. It was not nice to ask a little girl to pay two hundred yuan a catty for bayberry. It felt a bit like bullying a child.
Besides, Shanshan still needs another 500 kilograms, which is a huge sum of money.
So she said, "It's a few dollars a pound, Shanshan, just give whatever you want."
How much is it per pound? "Auntie, your bayberries are so delicious, it's a waste to sell them for a few dollars per pound!" Wen Shanshan frowned anxiously, as if the bayberries belonged to her family, and she was afraid that they were sold at a low price. She said, "My brother's friend runs a boutique supermarket, and the organic bayberries there are only 300 yuan for half a pound. Your bayberries are much more delicious than those, so you have to pay at least 1,000 yuan per pound to justify the taste of these bayberries."
Xu Fuqiang swallowed in shock, "One... one thousand yuan per pound? Is there anyone who would buy this?"
He took his bayberries to a fruit vendor to negotiate the price, but the vendor only offered him four yuan per pound. He thought his bayberries tasted good, so it would be no problem to sell them at eight yuan per pound. He spent a lot of time talking to the vendor, and even said humbly that his family was not well off, but the vendor refused to add even one yuan.
At this moment, someone said that the price was one thousand yuan per pound, which scared him.
"I'll buy it! Such delicious bayberries, let alone one thousand yuan per pound, I can accept a little more expensive." Wen Shanshan raised her hand.
Wang Yanmei was amazed. Rich people really don’t treat money as money.
One thousand yuan, but she needs to perform seven or eight waist drum shows to earn it back.
Xu Qingzhi knew how hard the two kids worked to water the bayberry tree every night. Besides, the bayberry contained a lot of spiritual energy. Not only did it taste great, it was also good for the body.
If it can only be sold for a few dollars, it would be better to keep it as compost to grow other vegetables, so I was not surprised at the price Wen Shanshan proposed.
Wang Yanmei thought that as long as the price was right, she had to sell it as soon as possible.
But of course she wouldn't let people spend a thousand yuan per pound to buy it.
There is a shop in the next village that specializes in growing and selling bayberries. The taste is good, but the wholesale price is only 20 yuan per catty. Her bayberries can be sold at 200 yuan per catty, which is already a sky-high price.
"Shanshan, it doesn't have to be so expensive. One thousand yuan per pound is too much." Wang Yanmei shook her head.
"Not much, not much, Auntie. The bayberries in your family are really delicious, and so are the vegetables. Oh, and the chicken and duck for lunch today, they are all so delicious. Take my brother for example, he couldn't even eat the organic vegetables from abroad that cost five thousand yuan per catty before, but he can eat the vegetables, bayberries, chicken and duck in your family, which shows that your food is really, really delicious. Bayberries at one thousand yuan per catty are definitely worth it!" Wen Shanshan stated passionately.
Wang Yanmei waved her hand, "No, no, Shanshan, if you really want to buy it, just give less. One thousand yuan a pound is too expensive."
"Then 900 yuan per catty! It can't be any less." Wen Shanshan thought, the bayberries in that boutique supermarket are 600 yuan per catty, and the taste is far inferior to this bayberry.
"You don't need so much. If you want to buy it, just give me 20 yuan per catty." Wang Yanmei thought that the current market price of bayberry outside is about 20 yuan per catty. Selling it at this price is not considered bullying the child.
Wen Shanshan stamped her feet and said angrily, "No, such delicious bayberries are sold at 20 yuan per catty, which is too cheap. Then let's sell it at 700 yuan per catty, absolutely not less!"
She thought to herself, how can it be cheaper than the bayberry in that boutique supermarket! This bayberry is so delicious that her brother, who didn't like eating bayberry before, now likes it.
"Shanshan, this is the bayberry tree that your uncle planted himself. He didn't use any pesticides or chemical fertilizers. He just gave it some organic fertilizer that he made himself. It didn't cost much, so it shouldn't be so expensive." Xu Fuqiang also spoke up.
A few years ago, his family planted a lot of water onions. He took them to the market to sell them. He sold a bunch of water onions for 50 cents. Some people even bargained for three bunches for 50 cents.
This was the first time he saw someone buying something and not agreeing to buy it at a low price, but trying hard to raise the price.
Wang Yanmei simply said truthfully: "We only sell it to others for 200 yuan per catty, Shanshan, you really don't need so much. Besides, you bought a lot, so Auntie will give you a discount and charge you 100 yuan per catty, okay?"
"How can that be possible?" Wen Shanshan couldn't even accept 200 yuan per pound, let alone 100 yuan per pound. Her family used to buy fruit at boutique supermarkets, where there was nothing cheaper than 100 yuan per pound, so a few hundred yuan per pound was considered a normal price in her opinion.
The bayberries from Qingzhi are so delicious, but they only sell them for two hundred yuan per pound. It’s such a loss.
Wen Shanshan frowned.
Wen Siran put his hand under the table, grabbed his sister again, and said to Wang Yanmei politely: "Auntie, your bayberries are really delicious. We will buy them at the same price as others, 200 yuan per catty. If it is lower than 200 yuan per catty, it is really not appropriate."
"Mom, let's go with this price. Our bayberries are really delicious. Others are willing to spend two hundred yuan per kilogram to buy them, which shows their recognition of the quality of the bayberries." Xu Qingzhi was afraid that if they didn't reach an agreement, the two sides would start a long price war, so she made the decision directly and sent her mother's bank account number to Wen Shanshan.
Wen Shanshan was caught between her idol and her brother, so she had to give up the idea of raising the price and transferred the money on the spot.
