Chapter 78 Your Master has no merits, except that he keeps his word
During lunch, Ye Ying took the opportunity to ask Ye Shuncheng if he could help her borrow the village chief's van.
At that time, it was very rare to have a van at home. Looking at the entire Dayan Village, there were only two or three households that had vans!
The village chief, Wang Lijun, is one of the families that owns a van.
When Ye Shuncheng heard that Ye Ying wanted to borrow a van, he rolled his eyes at her and said, "Why do you want to borrow a van? You talk as if you can drive it if you borrow it!"
Ye Ying: “…”
Who does this old man look down on?
She can drive, her driver's license is C1 manual transmission, so she has no problem driving a van.
But her driver's license was not with her, and she didn't know if the traffic police would check it at this time!
But if we can borrow the village chief's van, these won't be a problem.
If she could successfully borrow a van, she wanted to transport the unsaleable potatoes in the village to the town to sell.
After hearing Ye Ying's idea, Ye Shuncheng was dismissive at first, thinking that she was just wasting time and that she might as well help with some housework at home.
But after Ye Ying's repeated requests, Ye Shuncheng finally agreed to help her borrow a car from the village chief.
The next day at noon, Ye Shuncheng brought back good news to Ye Ying.
When the village chief Wang Lijun heard what she wanted to do with the car, he readily agreed to lend it to her.
As the village chief, it is indeed a headache that the potatoes in the village cannot be sold. Regardless of the final result, it is good to have a young man to take the lead.
Ye Ying didn't expect that borrowing a car would be so easy. In the afternoon, Wang Lijun drove the car to her doorstep.
She looked at the car parked at the door and was surprised. The village chief didn't even question her?
Wang Lijun is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has watched Ye Ying grow up and knows all about her little things.
I know that apart from her love of flirting, problematic lifestyle and bad reputation, she has never done anything against the law.
He was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard what she was going to do next, he agreed decisively and generously.
When he gave her the keys, he gave her many instructions, fearing that Ye Ying might destroy his precious van.
Ye Ying took the car key and immediately drove the van to the field.
The land here is flat, with crops half a person's height everywhere. There is a wide dirt road in the fields that can be used by tractors or cars.
In this way, when outside bosses come to the village to harvest crops, they can simply stop their cars on the side of the road, weigh the crops, and take them away. The villagers don't have to go through the trouble of pulling them back to the village.
Ye Ying first found the old man who had been picking up sprouted potatoes and throwing them away two days ago, and said that she could help him transport the potatoes to the town to sell.
When the old man saw Ye Ying driving a van over and saying that she wanted to help him sell potatoes, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.
He didn't expect that he was just mentioning it casually, but this fat girl actually took it seriously.
"Fatty, are you sure this will work?" The old man looked at Ye Ying with an expression of disbelief.
"No, stop bothering yourself!"
Ye Ying blinked, "Why not? But my price here is lower than that boss's, 20 cents per kilogram, how about that?"
The old man was stunned and pointed to the number 2 with his fingers: "What? Only 20 cents?"
Ye Ying nodded.
The old man hesitated for a moment, looked back at the dozen or so sacks of potatoes piled behind him, and then looked from afar at the potatoes in the field that had not been dug up yet.
I gritted my teeth and agreed.
"Alas! I can't sell it anyway, and it's a pity to leave it in a rotten place, so 2 cents is 2 cents!"
"If you can help me sell all the crops in this shed and the fields, even if it's only 1.5 cents, it will be fine!"
"I'll just take it as my bad luck this time, and I'll never plant potatoes again next time!"
Hearing that Master could sell potatoes for only 1.5 cents per kilogram, Ye Ying couldn't hide her excitement: "Really? Master, you said so!"
At 1.5 cents per kilogram, she can earn even more!
She is not a good person. She must make money by helping the villagers sell potatoes.
The price per kilogram was reduced by 1 cent. Although the grandfather felt very painful, he didn't want to see the waste even more.
Their generation had experienced famine and knew how precious food was. They felt very sad to see these potatoes sprouting and being wasted!
So the master waved his hand without hesitation and said arrogantly: "I, your master, don't have any merits, but I always keep my word!"
Ye Ying grinned: "Okay, Master, I've been waiting for you to say that!"
So, the grandfather spent an entire afternoon calling his two sons to the fields and loading a whole van with potatoes.
Ye Ying pulled a cart of potatoes home, preparing to set out for the town the next morning.
After the village chief Wang Lijun found out, he was afraid that Ye Ying couldn't handle it alone, so he immediately went to find an educated youth who could drive and asked him to accompany her the next day.
This educated youth came from the south. He was not tall and didn't talk much. He opened the car door and wanted to get in the driver's seat, but was immediately pushed to the passenger seat by Ye Ying.
"Well, I can drive. You go to the passenger seat!"
There were not many women who could drive at that time. The educated youth stared at Ye Ying with suspicion for a long time, then turned around and quietly got into the passenger seat.
Ye Ying knew that the educated youth was waiting to see her make a fool of herself, but when she saw her start the big van very skillfully, she saw the surprise in his eyes.
It's about 30 kilometers away, and there aren't many cars on the country road, so it only takes about 20 minutes to get there, unlike the country buses that solicit customers and take a long time.
When they arrived in the town, Ye Ying parked the car near the market, then left the educated youth in the car and walked around the market to get a clear understanding of the market price of potatoes.
After returning, she took out the cardboard she had prepared in advance and wrote a sign.
"Potatoes are 0.3 cents a kilogram, buy 20 kilograms and get 5 kilograms free"
According to the market price she knew, it was about 40 cents per kilogram, so she should be able to sell out the whole truckload of potatoes quickly at 30 cents per kilogram.
Not long after, many people saw the tempting price and gathered around. I don’t know if it was because they bought 20 kilograms and got 5 kilograms free, but half a truck of potatoes was sold in more than two hours.
But it was too early for Ye Ying to be happy, as the potatoes were not selling as well as she had imagined.
The remaining half of the car just couldn't be sold no matter what.
The flow of people in the town could not compete with that of the Friendship Market in the county, so the products could not be sold after a certain amount. She and the educated youth stayed in the town until two or three in the afternoon, and there was basically no movement.
Finally, Ye Ying asked someone and took the remaining half truckload of dried potatoes directly to a flour mill in the next town, negotiated a price of 0.2 cents per kilogram, and sold them at a low price.
