This is a huge windfall!
Fu Wan and Boss Fu knew that this trip to buy bird's nests could make money, but they never expected to make such a large sum!
The three of them looked at each other, their joy impossible to hide.
After calculating the price, Sun Youcai took the family savings book and led Boss Fu and the others to the bank to transfer the money.
He didn't have enough money in his account for this huge sum, so he made several phone calls at the post office. Fu Wan heard that he was asking his brother on the other end of the phone to send money.
They're all rich people; they can just take goods worth tens of thousands of yuan without a second thought.
Sun Youcai's brother acted quickly. Fu Wan and the other two waited for less than an hour before Sun Youcai had raised enough money and withdrew it directly from the post office to take to Boss Fu.
Fu Laoda then took his own savings book and deposited 10,000 yuan into Fu Wan's and Fu Ming's savings books respectively, while depositing the remaining 17,800 yuan into his own savings book.
"Hey bro, how about I treat you to lunch today? Let's go to my brother's restaurant and have a taste?"
Fu Laoda quickly waved his hand with a smile and refused, "My wife took my granddaughter out to buy things, we still need to find them!"
"Next time, next time I'll have Fu San bring you to our village, and we brothers will have a good drink together!"
Sun Youcai was initially unhappy with Fu Laoda's refusal, but now that he heard he was invited to visit the village, he smiled.
“Okay, I heard that someone in your village caught a 100-pound moonfish last time. I really want to go and see which family is so good at it.”
The three men, including Boss Fu, looked at each other, their faces showing a bit of embarrassment.
Then the three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
What could be more gratifying than hearing someone's unspoken praise?
Sun Youcai was a shrewd man, and seeing their appearance, he made a bold guess.
"Hey bro, you guys didn't catch the moonfish either, did you?"
Boss Fu chuckled, "It was caught by my family."
Sun Youcai now looked at them with admiration and quickly whispered flattery.
"You guys are amazing! Not only can you catch such a big moonfish, but you can also get so many bird's nests."
"Your family is definitely the first in your village to have ten thousand yuan in income! If this makes the newspaper, it will be a great honor for your family!"
Boss Fu quickly told him to keep quiet, "Brother Sun, please keep this a secret. To be honest, my house has already been robbed once."
"I dare not make a sound about this bird's nest."
Sun Youcai quickly shut his mouth and nodded, "Brother, I must go out to sea with you when my shop is less busy. You guys are so lucky!"
After saying that, they arrived at the entrance of his own shop. Sun Youcai invited them to come in and have some tea, but Boss Fu quickly declined, saying that he had other things to do.
The three of them quickly ran to the market to meet up with Ye Xiaocui and the others.
Ye Xiaocui bought a lot of rice and flour, as well as several kilograms of pork belly.
Fu Liang's hands were full, and he looked at Fu Ming as if he had seen a savior.
"Amin, come quickly and help!"
Having finally found a laborer, he had to quickly get him to work.
Fu Ling was walking along, munching on a candied hawthorn skewer. When she saw Fu Wan, she ran over and handed the skewer to her.
"Mom, try this! Grandma bought it for me, it's so sweet!"
Fu Wan took a bite of the candied hawthorn, and a sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth.
The sweetness of the rock sugar and the tartness of the hawthorn blended together perfectly, making it taste absolutely delicious.
Fu Wan touched Fu Ling's forehead, which was soaked with sweat, and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? Mom will buy it for you!"
Fu Ling looked left and right, but the market was full of vegetable vendors, not as tempting as the village shops.
Ye Xiaocui quickly pulled her daughter, "What are you buying? We can't carry any more. Let's go back now."
I wonder how much money they've made selling bird's nests here. They also need to buy a boat, so they have to be careful with their spending.
Fu Wan quickly pulled Fu Ling to follow.
The market was so crowded that it was hard to find a place to step.
At this time, the things sold in the market are not from open shops.
Many people came directly with their carts, and their belongings were also on the carts.
Some people were riding bicycles with baskets tied to the back seats, containing various kinds of noodles or eggs.
Fu Wan also saw that someone had several pheasants tied to their bicycle basket, clearly indicating they were hunters from the mountains.
The reason these people bring vehicles to sell goods is so they can run away at any time.
Although the policy has been relaxed now, the police still patrol the market from time to time because many people sell smuggled goods there.
People are used to being afraid, and they run away as soon as they see the police, regardless of whether what they are selling is legitimate or not.
After squeezing through the crowd for a while, Fu Wan finally led Fu Wan to the entrance of the market, where a young man was holding a bicycle and looking around.
As Fu Wan passed by, she glanced curiously at the bamboo basket on the back of his seat.
She was captivated by his gaze, unable to move away once she saw him.
It was actually a basket of crystal-clear grapes!
Yes, it's the perfect time of year to eat grapes.
No one grows these fruits near Fujia Village. Mangoes are picked before they even ripen, let alone people having the energy to tend to grapes every day.
If you plant it in your own yard, it's fine, but if you plant it outside, it'll probably be plucked bare before it even grows properly!
The young man noticed Fu Wan's gaze and realized that she wanted to buy it.
"Hey sis, want some grapes? They're only 50 cents a pound. I just picked them from the mountains, they're super sweet!"
After saying that, he tore off several more and stuffed them into the hands of Fu Wan and Fu Ling, who was watching eagerly from the side.
Fu Ling saw that he was offering her grapes but didn't take them, so she turned to look at Fu Wan.
She only accepted it after seeing Fu Wan nod to her, saying, "Thank you, brother."
It's no wonder that both men and women like to be called young. When the young man heard Fu Ling call him "brother," he couldn't help but grab a few more pills and stuff them into Fu Ling's hands.
Fu Wan felt really embarrassed not to buy it, since her own daughter probably had a few cents left.
"Please weigh out ten pounds for me!"
There are many people in the family, so we'll share some with Fu San and Fu Liang's families later. Ten jin isn't too much.
The young man was so excited that he hurriedly got a bag and weighed out ten pounds for Fu Wan.
Five cents a pound, that's five dollars!
These grapes of mine were being pecked by birds in the mountains. I thought I'd try my luck out here, and to my surprise, I actually sold them.
The young man was an honest man; he only had a little over eleven pounds in his bamboo basket, so he simply gave it all to Fu Wan.
"Sister, five yuan is fine with you."
"The extra food is on me!"
This young man clearly doesn't do business much; his eyes are clear and innocent.
Fu Wanzhen felt embarrassed to take advantage of him, so she slipped him six yuan and quickly left with the grapes and Fu Ling.
Farmers have it tough, and although she can't really help much, she at least wants to live with herself.
Ye Xiaocui waited at the market entrance for a long time but didn't see her daughter. Just as she was about to go in to look for her, she saw her daughter come out.
She took the bag from Fu Wan, opened it, and exclaimed, "Wow, why did you buy so many grapes?!"
