"Little girl, I understand what you're saying. I have no problem supplying you with three buckets of milk every day. But signing the agreement is a bit difficult for me. To be honest with you, little girl, I can't read very well."
At this point, the dairy farmer was afraid that Zhang Yaoyao wouldn't believe him, so he gestured with his hands to explain.
"Apart from my name, which I can write, I only know a few simple words for the rest of the characters."
There's no way. For farmers these days, especially older farmers like him, it's a miracle that they can write their own names. If you ask him to write an agreement, that would be difficult for an old dairy farmer.
Zhang Yaoyao had not expected that the dairy farmer was illiterate. She turned around twice helplessly and tried to negotiate with him.
"How about this, uncle? I'll write an agreement and read it to you. We'll find someone to witness it. If you think it's okay, we'll sign it. If you think there's anything wrong with it, please point it out. We'll discuss it further and sign it only when both parties are satisfied. Is that okay with you?"
The dairy farmer looked at the streets in the early morning and saw not a single person, and couldn't help but worry.
"But where can we find witnesses so early in the morning?"
He actually wanted to sign some kind of agreement with this girl. Anyway, his milk was going to be sold at the farmers' market, and it would be best if someone ordered a whole barrel.
It’s about signing the agreement. He is illiterate and is afraid of losing money both himself and the girl.
You said you were looking for a witness, but there wasn't even a ghost in the morning, so who would help you? The old farmer felt very embarrassed.
Lu Sinian stood upstairs with his ear tilted, listening to the two people downstairs talking about the milk supply. He vaguely heard that they needed to sign an agreement and find someone to witness it. He thought that since he couldn't sleep, he might as well go downstairs to help the two people witness the signing of the agreement.
Anyway, Zhang Yaoyao signed an agreement with the dairy farmer to supply him with milk tea, so there is no harm in doing so.
Thinking of this, Lu Sinian quickly put on his clothes, wiped his face to wash, and went downstairs quickly. He happened to see Zhang Yaoyao and the dairy farmer standing on the street looking around for someone, Lu Sinian thought.
"I am the witness you are looking for!"
Of course, he was sure in his heart that he was the one who would be the witness for the signing of the agreement between the two people, but there was no expression on his face. Instead, he walked towards the two people calmly. He saw the dairy farmer and Zhang Yaoyao's eyes light up, and Zhang Yaoyao even waved at him happily.
"Lu Sinian, you're just in time. Come over here and be a witness. This old farmer and I are going to sign a milk supply agreement later. Please stand by and help as a witness."
The dairy farmer nearby also happily echoed.
"Yes, young man, meeting you so early in the morning is fate. Come and be our witness!"
Lu Sinian: “…”
Are all dairy farmers selling milk this good at talking these days? Meeting was fate. What good fate could there be between two grown men? I just came downstairs to bear witness for my own business.
Of course, Lu Sinian was speechless in his heart, but he still responded gently.
"Okay, since we've met, I'll be your witness."
After saying that, he turned and looked at Zhang Yaoyao.
"Hurry up and draft the agreement. Don't we still need to leave time to make milk tea?"
After a while, it was already dawn!
"Where's Zhang Yaoyao?" Hearing Lu Sinian's words, he immediately turned and walked into the house, saying as he walked.
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll be right there!"
As she was speaking, Zhang Yaoyao walked into the house, quickly took out a piece of paper and pen, and drafted a milk supply agreement.
The general meaning is that the dairy farmer must deliver three buckets of milk to her before 6:30 every morning according to the previously negotiated price, and the milk supply period is about three years.
After finishing, Zhang Yaoyao took the two milk supply agreements out and recapitulated them in front of the two men. Lu Sinian's mouth twitched as he listened. He thought, this woman, she bought milk so cheaply, but then sold him milk tea for eight yuan a cup. Why didn't she just rob her? She really has the potential to be a profiteer.
As for Zhang Yaoyao, after reading the agreement, she saw that the dairy farmer had no objection, so she handed the agreement to Lu Sinian. Lu Sinian took the agreement and saw that it was indeed the same as what Zhang Yaoyao read. He then explained the content of the agreement and the important points to note to the old farmer.
To Lu Sinian's surprise, he didn't expect that Zhang Yaoyao could write such a perfect agreement. She could even quote from classics, write legal clauses at the back, and even write about the compensation for breach of contract. It was very complete, which made Lu Sinian look at Zhang Yaoyao with admiration.
The dairy farmer nodded with a simple and honest look on his face.
"Okay, I see you two are both educated people, you shouldn't cheat an old farmer like me, so I'll sign this agreement."
Anyway, he has several dairy cows at home, so he will not be unable to supply Zhang Yaoyao with three buckets of milk. Paying liquidated damages is not a problem at all.
So, the dairy farmer went back to worry about whether he could supply the milk or not. He took the pen from Zhang Yaoyao's hand, wrote his name crookedly in the place designated by the other party, and pressed his fingerprint on it.
Zhang Yaoyao also quickly signed her name and pressed her fingerprint, and a milk supply agreement was completed.
After the two signed the agreement, Lu Sinian picked up the two agreements and looked at them. There was nothing wrong with them, so he handed one to the dairy farmer and the other to Zhang Yaoyao, and said lightly.
"Congratulations! You will make a lot of money in the next three years!"
Milk that costs a few dollars a barrel can be processed and sold to him for hundreds of dollars a barrel. It is a huge profit. How can he not make a lot of money?
This woman is so evil-minded. How could she make so much money from him without blushing or beating her conscience?
Zhang Yaoyao took the agreement with an embarrassed look on her face, and thought to herself, "What a wonderful expression!"
"Oh my god, I was so focused on finding someone to be a witness that I almost forgot, isn't this the person she took advantage of? She processes milk that costs a few dollars a bucket into milk tea and then sells it to others for hundreds of dollars a bucket. No wonder Lu Sinian's face has been weird. It seems he finally realized that he was taken advantage of. But who can he blame? In this business, it's a matter of mutual consent. I just want to sell the milk that costs a few dollars for hundreds of dollars. Do you want it or not?"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yaoyao suddenly felt relieved and no longer felt any guilt. After all, she was doing business and didn't need to care about huge profits.
Besides, who knew how much Lu Sinian would get if he sold his bucket of milk to someone else? What if he was even worse than her, and he was still feeling guilty about it, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
