Chapter 95 I won't buy this cotton
"Idiot!" Aunt Wu has lived for half her life, there is nothing she can't see, these two sisters-in-law are asking for a higher price because they see that Lin Xi is rich!
Cui Juxiu quickly advised, "Aunt, this price is really not expensive. The main reason is that there are not many people growing cotton this year. We give this price for the sake of the villagers. Otherwise, you would have to pay more."
Cui Juxiu's words sounded nice, but Aunt Wu didn't believe a word of them.
"I remember clearly that in previous years, cotton was only 150 cents per pound, and there were discounts for buying more. How come it suddenly rose to 250 this year? It can't be targeted at Lin Xi, right?" Aunt Wu said.
"Aunt, what are you talking about? Why would we target Lin Xi? Aren't we from the same village?" Li Qionghua quickly denied it.
"Besides, apart from our Zhao family, who else can afford 80 kilograms of cotton?" Cui Juxiu added.
Aunt Wu was so angry at the two that she stood up and wanted to leave, but Li Qionghua held her shoulder and said, "If you have any opinions, just say it nicely. There is nothing that cannot be discussed."
"I, I have nothing to say to you!" Aunt Wu said angrily.
At this moment——
"Aunt, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by anger."
When Lin Xi walked in from outside, she saw Aunt Wu’s face turned red with anger.
"Sister, why are you here?" Aunt Wu felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't even handle such a small matter.
Lin Xi smiled. She rested at home for a while and then felt bored. As soon as she went out, she heard people talking about Aunt Wu just going to Zhao's house, so she followed her.
I didn't expect to hear such a wonderful scene.
"Aunt, I'm here, so you don't have to bother. I'll do the talking." Lin Xi walked to the chair and sat down, looking at the two sisters-in-law, "The price is two hundred and fifty per kilogram, no room for negotiation?"
The two looked at each other and nodded, "No."
Seeing that Li Qionghua was preparing another long speech to tell him, Lin Xi waved his hand and said, "In that case, let's forget about it."
Aunt Wu sat up from her chair. "You've already bought the fabric. If you don't buy cotton, what will you wear in winter?"
Lin Xi smiled and said, "I am afraid I can't buy anything with the money. The cotton in this village is more expensive than in the town. Why should I buy it here?"
Aunt Wu suddenly realized, "That's the truth, you are right, I don't want to buy it from the Zhao family!"
When Cui Juxiu saw that Lin Xi actually said she didn't want to buy it, she anxiously pulled at the corner of Li Qionghua's clothes.
"Lin Xi, we can discuss the price, and you shouldn't just say you don't want to buy it." Li Qionghua said with a flattering smile.
If Lin Xi hadn't heard these words, she might have discussed it for the sake of the villagers, but from what they said just now, it was clear that they felt she was being taken advantage of.
"Don't be sorry, I have changed my mind. From now on, I will buy the cotton my family needs from anyone else but you." Lin Xi said.
When Li Qionghua heard this, she was dumbfounded.
Cui Juxiu was even more anxious. "Sister, if it doesn't work, I'll give you 150 yuan. The cotton is ready-made and the quality is good. 150 yuan is not enough."
Lin Xi sneered, so 150 is still a friendly price. She really thinks she can cheat people just because she is rich. She is not a fool.
"No," Lin Xi smiled, "Two hundred and fifty cents worth of cotton, I, Lin Xi, can't afford it, you two should just sell it to someone else."
Li Qionghua could see that Lin Xi had made up her mind, and nothing they said could shake Lin Xi's mind.
Seeing the money she had earned fly away in the blink of an eye, Li Qionghua was very unhappy and started to curse, "You have made so much money from your own business, why do you think my cotton is too expensive for you? My family doesn't have that much money, so I sell it cheaper. You have money in your hands, so why can't I sell it to you at a higher price!"
Li Qionghua didn't think she had a problem. "Two hundred and fifty coins a pound. You can buy eighty pounds for only twenty taels of silver. You can make the money back by selling a few pieces of bacon. Why are you fussing about it?"
Lin Xi was speechless. Just because she had money, she should be taken advantage of? What kind of thinking was Li Qionghua?
Aunt Wu was also speechless. "Their money wasn't blown by the wind, why should I give you more money? On the other hand, even if their money was blown by the wind, it was blown into their yard, why should I give it to you!"
Li Qionghua and Cui Juxiu were speechless because of Aunt Wu.
Lin Xi was too lazy to talk nonsense and pulled Aunt Wu away from the Zhao family.
"Sister, I'm so sorry. How about this? I'll go to the next village and ask if there's anyone growing cotton and buy some for you." Aunt Wu said.
Lin Xi shook her head. "Aunt, I know someone in Dafeng Village. I'll go ask him later. You don't have to worry about the cotton."
Since Lin Xi said so, Aunt Wu couldn't insist any longer.
I think she is a businesswoman and must know more people than me, so she will always be able to find a way.
On the next day, Lin Xi found Yuan Herong from Dafeng Village and asked about buying cotton.
Originally, she wanted to buy it directly from the store, but there was no store in the town that sold only cotton. The owners of the cooperating restaurants all said that the store often sold inferior products as good ones and the quality was poor.
So Lin Xi went to Yuan Herong to ask.
"It's easy to get cotton. The cotton in our village is very good. Every year people from the county come to our village to collect cotton." Yuan Herong said.
Lin Xi didn't expect that he would hit the jackpot and come across a large cotton-growing village.
Almost every household in Dafeng Village grows cotton, and relatively speaking, each household is richer than those in Taoli Village.
Under Yuan Herong's introduction, Lin Xi made a special trip to Dafeng Village to see the cotton.
What Lin Xi didn't expect was that when the head of Dafeng Village heard about this, he actually came out to greet Lin Xi.
Lin Xi was a little confused, so Yuan Herong explained the situation, "It's like this, our village head heard that you are the boss lady of Lin's who often cooperates with us, and he insisted on coming to meet you."
Yuan Herong is not tall, he is chubby and looks kind and amiable.
"That's embarrassing. I just came to buy some cotton." Lin Xi said with a smile.
He Zhaofu walked beside Lin Xi and said, "I heard about this from Old Yuan. You came to the right place to buy cotton in Dafeng Village!"
As he said that, He Zhaofu took Lin Xi to their cotton plantation.
The place where Dafeng Village is located is not like Taoli Village which is surrounded by mountains on three sides. There are many flat plots of land around it, which also provides conditions for cotton planting.
The more Lin Xi walked, the more she felt something was wrong. She had only come to buy a few dozen kilograms of cotton. While He Zhaofu was taking her around, he introduced the cotton cultivation conditions in Dafeng Village to her in detail.
It looks like he has other plans.
At lunch time, He Zhaofu looked at the sky and said, "Look at my mouth. I haven't even let anyone give you a drink. Let's go to my house and have some water."
He Zhaofu half-dragged and half-pulled Lin Xi to He Zhaofu's house.
As soon as she entered the door, she smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
In order to save money, most villagers are reluctant to use oil when eating meat. Now that there is such a fragrant smell, it is obvious that they are well prepared.
