When Xie Yan saw the pile of cotton, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but nod.
This cotton is indeed good cotton. Not only is it snow-white, but it also feels soft and fluffy to the touch. You can tell at a glance that it's not local cotton. Xiao Wu really wasn't lying to him.
After Xiao Wu found a bag and packed the cotton, Xie Yan didn't hesitate at all and took out thirty yuan from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Wu.
Seeing how decisively Xie Yan took out his money, Xiao Wu immediately realized that he was definitely not short of money.
His eyes darted around, and a fawning smile spread across his face as he tentatively asked, "We have some good stuff here, would you like some?"
Xie Yan had been waiting for these words. He feigned composure and said casually, "That depends on what kind of good stuff it is. I wouldn't even look at ordinary stuff."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu was overjoyed and quickly said with a smile, "Oh, brother, you've really hit the nail on the head."
"If it were just an ordinary item, I wouldn't dare recommend it to you! Just by looking at your style, it's obvious that ordinary things are simply not worthy of you!"
He then leaned close to Xie Yan's ear mysteriously and whispered, "It's like this, we just received some apples and malted milk powder. I was wondering if you'd be interested, brother?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan's eyes lit up instantly, and he nodded hastily.
This is just like a pillow being delivered when you're sleepy!
His wife is pregnant now and needs these things to nourish her body, so how could he not want them!
Seeing this, Xiao Wu immediately pressed his advantage, asking with a smile, "Um, how many cans of malted milk powder do you plan to order? And how many kilograms of apples do you want?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yan was secretly delighted, realizing that there seemed to be quite a few of these items.
He actually wanted to say he wanted it all, since he had space and could fit as much stuff as he wanted.
But reality is cruel; there's just too much stuff to take back with me!
Xie Yan had also considered whether he could find a suitable place for them to store the goods properly, and then secretly pick them up at night.
This solves the problem of inconvenience in carrying goods and avoids attracting attention.
However, this idea, while good, presents a thorny problem—where will he stay at night?
The answer was: "Bridge arch!"
The thought of sleeping under a bridge sent a chill down Xie Yan's spine.
Although he wasn't someone who lived a life of luxury, he simply couldn't accept sleeping under a bridge.
Not to mention the cold under the bridge, it's damp and dark, and there are bound to be bugs there. Just thinking about it makes me feel uneasy.
What about staying at a guesthouse?
There's no need to even think about it.
Staying at a guesthouse isn't just about having money; you also need a letter of introduction.
In the entire Xiliu Village, the only person who could issue this letter of introduction was his father-in-law.
If he were to go and tell his father-in-law that he wouldn't be going home that night and would be staying at a guesthouse, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Putting aside whether he could even get the letter of introduction, he couldn't possibly withstand his father-in-law's wrath.
Left with no other choice, I had to settle for second best: "Give me five cans of malted milk powder and ten pounds of apples."
He actually wanted more apples, but he didn't expect that Xiao Wu would limit the quantity, allowing him to buy a maximum of ten kilograms.
Moreover, the price left Xie Yan speechless; it cost two yuan per pound!
Xie Yan felt a pang of pain in his heart upon hearing this, and secretly vowed that if the quality of these apples did not justify the price, he would definitely return them!
A little while later, Xiao Wu brought the apple over.
Xie Yan examined them closely and discovered that they were Red Fuji apples, and each one was quite large, with an enticing sheen on the skin.
He couldn't resist picking one up, wiping it casually on his clothes, and taking a bite. He found it to be crisp and refreshing, with sweet juice spreading in his mouth.
Hmm, not bad. Although the price is still relatively expensive, it's not a bad deal, so it's worth it.
After all the transactions, Xie Yan spent a total of one hundred and forty silver dollars, which was no small sum.
Even if Xie Yan wanted to pretend to be calm, he couldn't keep up the act at this moment, and he was so distressed that he kept grimacing.
He absolutely cannot throw away the apple cores after eating them; he wants to use them to grow seedlings so that he can enjoy fruit freely in the future!
I will never buy such expensive Apple products again.
He was truly heartbroken.
One hundred and forty yuan!
How long would it take him to save up so much money selling herbs!
Why!
The black market is still the fastest way to make money!
And that malted milk powder, it's too expensive, a can costs fifteen yuan, no wonder not many people buy it.
Xie Yan carried the things she had bought, muttering to herself as she walked back.
Sunlight filters through the dappled branches, casting patches of light and shadow across the narrow alley.
He turned left and right in the alley, making countless turns, his eyes glancing warily behind him every now and then. Only after confirming that no one was following him did he quickly throw everything into his spatial storage.
Then, he changed his clothes, took out a bicycle from his spatial storage, mounted it, pedaled hard, and sped off toward the post office.
Because Yu Yuehui is pregnant, Xie Yan plans to ask Zhou Siyuan to help prepare some foods with different nutritional values, such as kelp, seaweed, and sea cucumber.
Of course, when sending the letter, I also sent Zhou Siyuan some dried fruit and sausages from this area.
Because I had a lot to do, it was already time for dinner when I got home.
Xie Yan didn't rush to eat, but instead took out two bright red apples from her spatial storage.
When Yu Yue saw the apples Xie Yan had taken out, she was startled. "You bought these!"
Xie Yan nodded. "Otherwise what? Do you think I would steal it?"
"We don't have that capability yet!"
Yu Yue ignored Xie Yan's banter. She sensed that Xie Yan must have bought quite a lot, so she quickly asked, "How much did you buy?"
Xie Yan said with some regret, "Not much, only ten catties."
As he spoke, he took the remaining apples out of his storage space.
Yu Yue looked at the bag of apples and was dumbfounded. "Why did you buy so many?!"
"Fruit is expensive. Buying one or two to try is enough. Why buy so much? It must have cost a lot of money!"
Xie Yan smiled and gently placed the washed apple in her hand, saying, "Eat it! Let me tell you, this time it really wasn't a bad deal!"
"I've seen it, and this apple variety is excellent."
"I've already thought it through. I'll keep all the fruit pits after eating them; I plan to use them to start seedlings."
"If we succeed, we'll have an endless supply of fruit."
"Compared to the future gains, this investment is nothing."
In modern times, the apples here are very famous, which shows that the land here is very suitable for apple growth. He just didn't believe that with the information from his predecessors as a basis, he couldn't grow a seedling!
Yu Yue listened and gave a forced smile, looking at Xie Yan with a hesitant expression.
Seeing her expression, Xie Yan said directly, "Say what you have to say!"
