"Uncle, hello. I heard you raise pigeons here. I'm here to buy some wholesale pigeons," Wen Xi said politely as she stepped forward.
"How many pigeons do you want?" the uncle asked. If he only wanted a few, he could only sell them at the retail price. Otherwise, if others sold one or two pigeons at the wholesale price, how would he make a profit?
"I'll take as many pigeons as you can provide, uncle," Wenxi said.
Seeing that Wenxi wanted a lot, the uncle opened the door and invited them in. He then led them into the factory. The pigeons in the cages were white and spotted, and they looked very cute. However, since they were meat pigeons, they all looked plump.
"We have about 10,000 pigeons available right now. If you want them all, I'll give you 15 yuan each," the uncle said.
Wen Xi was slightly taken aback. A pigeon weighing less than half a pound was actually priced at fifteen yuan. Even a temporary worker's monthly salary wasn't that high!
Qin Mi tugged at Wen Xi's hand and whispered in her ear, "This price is indeed quite reasonable, because a pigeon at the market costs around thirty to forty-five yuan!"
Wenxi was even more surprised. She never expected that such a small pigeon would be so expensive!
Buying them one by one is really not cost-effective; it's more economical to buy them at wholesale prices.
To acquire 10,000 pigeons, 150,000 yuan would be needed, but Wenxi only had a little over 140,000 yuan, which wasn't enough to acquire all the pigeons. So, Wenxi paid a 20% deposit as the uncle requested, and would pay the balance after delivering the pigeons the following evening.
"Do you want any pigeon eggs?" the uncle asked.
"How much are the pigeon eggs?" Wenxi asked curiously.
"I'll give you a discount, four yuan a pound, how about it?" the uncle asked.
Wenxi thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement. Things here weren't cheap, so giving her four yuan per pound was already very cheap.
With the pigeon matter settled, Qin Mi took Wen Xi and Qin Xin back home.
In the evening, Wenxi and Qin Xin helped Qin's mother cook. Today, relatives were helping to pick watermelons, so they had to treat them well. Qin's mother slaughtered one chicken and one duck that she raised at home.
In the evening, everyone ate their meal in the courtyard, enjoying the cool air as they ate. Everyone's face was full of smiles because Wenxi had come to harvest the watermelons, and their year's hard work had paid off, so they were naturally happy.
After dinner, everyone went to the watermelon patch to pick watermelons again. Qin Mi and Qin Xin also took Wen Xi to play in the watermelon patch. They didn't know how to pick watermelons, so they didn't want to make things worse and mix unripe watermelons in, which would affect the reputation of the watermelon farmers.
In the watermelon field, the air seemed to be filled with the sweet scent of watermelons. Fireflies danced among the grass, flashing and twinkling, looking romantic and lovely.
After playing in the watermelon patch for a while, the three of them went back. After taking turns showering, they went back to their rooms to rest. Wenxi saw Qin Xin lying on the bed playing on her phone, so she took out her new phone to examine it as well.
She wasn't addicted to it, unlike young people these days who are practically glued to their phones.
The next morning, when the world was quiet, Wen Xi quietly got up, left a note in Qin Xin's room, and quietly went out.
She first went to the warehouse to store the watermelons in the system warehouse, and then rode her electric bicycle to the town. The city was too far away, and she didn't remember the route, otherwise she could have ridden the electric bicycle there by herself. She didn't have to worry about her electric bicycle running out of power, because it was supported by the system's energy.
Before dawn, Wenxi took the 'Rejuvenating Pill', then carried a suitcase as cover. Around 6 a.m., she took the first bus to the city.
After getting off the bus, I used my phone to search for places where I could sell gold. Then I went to banks, pawnshops, and gold shops one by one. I paid two large gold bars to each one. In this way, I spent the whole morning exchanging more than five million yuan in cash. The next time I want to exchange money, I will have to go to other cities. Exchanging too much in one place will definitely arouse suspicion.
When the effects of the last 'Rejuvenation Pill' were almost worn off, Wenxi went into a forest and came out from another direction, where she returned to normal. Afterward, she took a bus to the supermarket to buy things.
She was staying at the Qin family's house, and she couldn't just eat and drink for free, so she decided to buy some things for the Qin family today.
Wenxi bought meat, ribs, and pig's trotters at the supermarket, as well as fish and shrimp in the seafood section. She then went to the clothing section and bought a new set of clothes for Grandma Qin, Qin's mother, Qin Xin, and herself.
Now she's a wealthy woman with millions in assets, and she doesn't care about prices as much when buying things anymore; she just buys whatever catches her eye.
After buying everything and going to pay, I found that it cost more than a thousand yuan.
After buying her things, Wenxi came out of the supermarket. She realized that even if she took the bus to town, she would still need to take a taxi to get back. So, Wenxi decided to take a taxi right there so she wouldn't have to transfer.
After getting out of the car, Wen Xi paid with her phone and then carried the bags and packages toward the Qin family. When Qin Mi saw Wen Xi return, he hurriedly went up and took the things from her hands.
"Liangliang, why didn't you call us when you went out to buy things?" Qin Mi asked.
Wen Xi smiled sheepishly, "Let's go inside quickly, I'm so hot."
Back home, Qin Mi put the things on the coffee table and hurriedly poured Wen Xi a glass of lemonade. Wen Xi drank it while saying, "There's meat and shrimp in there. Take it out and put it in the refrigerator quickly, or it will spoil."
Qin Mi quickly tidied up the things and put them in the refrigerator.
"Liangliang, thank you." Qin Mi said as she finished packing her things and sat down next to Wen Xi.
Wen Xi said, "Why are you thanking me? You've helped me so much, isn't it only right that I treat you to a meal?"
After resting for a while, Wenxi felt less hot, so she and Qin Mi went to the warehouse because they were going to deliver pigeons and pigeon eggs soon.
At the appointed time, the pigeon farm staff delivered the pigeons directly in a large truck. The pigeons were packed in bamboo baskets, one basket after another, along with two thousand kilograms of pigeon eggs. The pigeon eggs were placed in egg cartons, with each egg separated to prevent them from breaking.
Wenxi paid the final payment, locked the warehouse door, and then asked Qin Mi to take her to the chicken farm to buy free-range chickens.
Arriving at the chicken farm on the mountain, Wenxi asked about the prices. Even though he was rich, he couldn't help but gasp, because a pound of chicken cost almost thirty yuan, and even an egg cost more than one yuan.
Qin Mi pulled Wen Xi aside and explained in a low voice, "These are free-range chickens. They grow up eating grains and other cereals, so they taste better and are more expensive. City people love to buy these free-range chickens and eggs. If you don't want to buy this chicken, I'll take you to buy one of those chickens that cost a few yuan per kilogram another day."
