Chapter 412 Selling Canned Food
Cen Yan's heart stirred. She had a lot of canned luncheon meat and canned fruit in her space. Besides the ones she bought in Shanghai, there were also some she made herself in glass jars when she had nothing to do. She was just wondering how to sell them slowly.
This opportunity came at just the right time; it could help Yang Mei and Zhou Chen get through their difficulties and also provide a chance to sell their goods.
Cen Yan frowned, looking troubled. "You all know that canned food is precious. I don't have many on hand. The few I gave you as gifts last time were sent to me from Shanghai by my fellow villager... But this is a big event for you, and you're in a real hurry, so I can't not help."
Yang Mei's eyes lit up. "Ahhh!" She threw herself into Cen Yan's arms and acted coquettishly. "I knew Yan Yan was the best to me. Don't worry, I won't take it for nothing. I'll pay you the market price. Whatever the price is for one can, we won't haggle!"
Cen Yan smiled and said, "Then don't say I'm heartless and trying to make money off you. Canned food is rare and precious, and it's all real meat with generous portions. I'm not ripping you off. Canned meat is six yuan, and canned fruit is ten yuan."
"Canned fruit is more expensive than meat?" Yang Mei was speechless. She knew it was expensive, but she didn't expect it to be this expensive. If she had known, she wouldn't have eaten it when Cen Yan gave her canned fruit as a New Year's gift.
Cen Yan said calmly, "Look at all this snow, how can any fruit be delivered? Besides, canned fruit is much bigger than canned meat. One can contains fruit and syrup, and it weighs about a pound. Wait a minute, I'll go inside and open one so you can try it before you decide whether you want to buy it."
Yang Mei wanted to say no, but Cen Yan had already opened the can and poured the contents out in a bowl for the two of them.
The bowl contains canned yellow peaches, half a piece of fruit, with clear syrup and a sweet aroma.
After tasting it, they realized that the canned food was of really good quality. Although it didn't have any brand label, it was definitely much more cost-effective than what they bought at the supply and marketing cooperative or department store!
"Sister Yan, do you need a ticket for the price you mentioned?"
"don't want."
Zhou Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "We need four cans of meat and two cans of fruit, that'll be forty-four yuan. You can count them."
Zhou Chen pulled out several crisp banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Cen Yan, his eyes filled with barely concealed pain. Forty-four yuan—that was a month and a half's salary for him.
But when I think about marrying the girl I love, what does forty-four yuan matter!
Cen Yan accepted the money, got up and went inside. She took out four well-packaged cans of luncheon meat and two cans of fruit that she had made herself from her spatial storage. She even tied ribbons to them to make them look elegant and luxurious.
Yang Mei took the money and smiled from ear to ear. "Yan Yan, you really helped me a lot. Now my parents will definitely agree to my marriage with Zhou Chen. You must come to the wedding banquet."
"Definitely." Cen Yan nodded in agreement.
"It's getting late, so Zhou Chen and I won't bother you any longer. We'll head back now." Yang Mei waved her hand and left the residential compound chatting and laughing with Zhou Chen.
Cen Yan put the money into the tin box, stored it in her spatial storage, and as she passed by the mirror, she couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen and mutter to herself.
"They said I'm easily fertile, but Yang Mei is already showing signs of pregnancy while I'm not?"
She frowned, a bold conjecture forming in her mind.
"Could it be that Qi Jingchuan is physically strong, but has a genetic defect, such as asthenospermia or azoospermia?"
What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Su Xianhua, who happened to be passing by the door, overheard these words and covered her mouth.
Her vigorous grandson turned out to be all show and no substance?
No, no, no!!! She needed to go talk to her husband about what to do.
Su Xianhua quickly ran to Zhao Gongqin for help.
