Chapter 402: Give Me Some Soup
When it comes to negotiating prices, Han Ying's eyes light up.
From the way Scar Wei talks about the price, you can tell how much new corn he has.
"A brand new little umbrella for this amount!"
As he said that, Scar Wei made a number 2 gesture and waved it in front of Han Ying and Lu Yuan.
"20 jin for one?"
Han Ying asked without any hesitation.
"Sister Tangyuan, we don't play like this, do we? It's two pounds for one!"
When Scar Wei heard Han Ying's words, his face was full of grievance, which was totally inconsistent with his size.
"Two pounds for one? Then you can find someone else. We'll go back first."
After hearing what Scar Wei said, Han Ying pulled Lu Yuan and was about to leave.
After standing up, Lu Yuan nodded politely to Scar Wei, but Scar Wei didn't react.
"Tangyuan Ancestor, you are my dear ancestor, okay? Isn't it normal to ask for a high price and pay it back when it hits the ground in business?"
"Why don't you bargain? We have been working together for so long. When have I ever failed to satisfy you?"
Seeing that the two were really about to leave, Scar Wei stood up and quickly blocked their way.
Then he opened his mouth and called them "ancestors" one by one without any psychological burden at all.
"I remember what you said when I sold you the anti-worm medicine. Oh my, why can't I remember it?"
Han Ying patted her head and looked at Lu Yuan with a puzzled look on her face.
"He said he didn't earn us a single point!"
Lu Yuan jokingly repeated what Scar Wei had said at the beginning.
"Alright, alright, I must have owed you guys in my past life, eight pounds of dried corn kernels in exchange for a new small umbrella!"
Scar Wei made a gesture of begging for mercy with his hands and looked at the two of them. He actually said this.
"We need new corn, don't give us the old one."
Han Ying had to emphasize that they had plenty of corn kernels, but they lacked the offspring of mutant corn.
"I know, I know. How dare I cheat you? But I have to let you know that I really won't make any money on this order."
"It's just this once. Next time you eat meat, you have to give me some soup, right? After all, I have so many brothers to feed!"
Scar Wei looked so serious that he even believed what he said.
But who made him unable to find a place to use this little umbrella?
He asked several colleagues, but none of them had the stock. At most, there were only a few available, which were completely useless.
"OK!"
We’ll talk about the price next time we do business.
Han Ying and Lu Yuan still know whether there is profit or not.
The profit is not much, but it is not nothing.
"What about second-hand ones? How much?"
Seeing that both of them agreed to the price, Scar Wei asked another question.
“No second-hand ones!”
When they heard the question asked by Scar Wei, Han Ying and Lu Yuan's faces turned dark.
Seeing that Han Ying didn't want to pay any attention to this person, Lu Yuan directly refused.
"How can there be no second-hand ones? Then take the ones you have used and... sell them to... ahem, just forget I said anything."
Seeing that the faces of the two men in front of him were getting darker and darker, Scar Wei stopped talking quickly because he was worried that they would go berserk.
"I want this number, do you have it?"
After discussing the price, Scar Wei pointed a finger at the two of them.
"1,000?"
Lu Yuan took a step back before asking.
“You have 1,000?”
Hearing what Brother Tangyuan said, Scar Wei's face was filled with surprise and he looked at him with wide eyes.
"No."
Lu Yuan shrugged.
It seems that Scar Wei has a lot of new corn.
It’s just that they can’t take out too much goods at once, so they have to take it slow.
"Okay, I'll take 100 first. I live in G09, Zone B."
"After we leave here, we will trade at the old Boji Bridge. Do you know Boji Bridge?"
Scar Wei thought about it before deciding on the location for the transaction.
It’s not that he doesn’t trust Brother and Sister Tangyuan, but his new corn is hidden nearby.
The closer the distance, the less trouble there will be during the transaction.
As for G09 in Zone B, it was planned according to buildings and areas after the establishment of Penglai Base.
"I know. It's over there then."
Lu Yuan knew that place. They had passed by that area when they went to the beach before.
According to Han Ying, the road over there has been cleared, so cars can pass through.
100 small umbrellas can be exchanged for 800 kilograms of new corn, and it can be used as seeds for planting.
It’s a great deal.
Until they returned, neither of them asked Scar Wei where the new corn came from.
Although Han Ying and Lu Yuan are not real middlemen, they do understand the rules here to some extent.
If you ask, you are breaking the rules and you won’t be able to have a good transaction in the future.
Walking back from Scar Wei's place, the two saw several familiar faces on the way.
Lin Xiaoli was holding a wooden bowl and trying to sell it to someone, but maybe they couldn't agree on the price or something, the person didn't seem to want it.
So Lin Xiaoli returned to her place in disappointment.
Then Han Ying and Lu Yuan discovered that next to where Lin Xiaoli was staying was the woman who had just divorced her husband and her daughter.
"Miss Han, what a coincidence, you are here too?"
Lin Xiaoli looked up and met Han Ying's gaze, so she exclaimed in surprise.
"Hmm, what a coincidence. How much do you sell this bowl for?"
Han Ying nodded, then looked at the wooden bowl that she had just failed to sell and asked.
"No, I'll give it to you if you need it. I made it myself anyway, so it's not worth anything."
As Lin Xiaoli spoke, she handed the wooden bowl to Han Ying and was about to give it to her.
"Then I'll trade this with you."
Han Ying took the wooden bowl handed over by Lin Xiaoli, then took out a sausage from the bag and placed it on her bag.
This sausage was given by Scar Wei, along with a bag of noodles and a boiled egg, saying that it was worth the two bowls of noodles.
Han Ying knew that Scar Wei was not someone who lacked food, so she didn't refuse.
After Han Ying left, Lin Xiaoli stared at the sausage in a daze.
Then I realized belatedly that Han Ying had given me too much.
Her wooden bowl is not worth a sausage.
You should know that now a well-packaged sausage like this can be exchanged for 5 pieces of bread.
Eat sparingly, it'll be enough for her to have several meals.
Li Baohui's daughter, Li Juanjuan, stared at the sausage with her eyes fixed.
When Li Baohui noticed that her daughter was staring at other people's things, she quickly covered her eyes.
She was worried that her daughter would steal other people's things again like she had done before.
Unexpectedly, Li Juanjuan used her tiny fingers to pry away her mother's hands that were covering her eyes.
Then he turned and walked towards Lin Xiaoli: "Aunt Lin, can I learn to carve bowls from you? I also want to exchange for food to feed me and my mother."
It is said that children from poor families grow up early, but now it is children from the end of the world who grow up early.
Hearing her daughter's words, Li Baohui's eyes turned red and tears rolled in her eyes, but she forced them back.
