Chapter 129 I Want Them All
Lin was startled, looked up at the middle-aged man, saw his pitiful appearance, and then suddenly realized.
The girl must be kind-hearted and wanted to help, so she nodded and said, "Okay, let's buy some."
Chen Zhanshan also agreed, thinking that as long as someone took the lead in buying, it would definitely motivate others.
If everyone could buy a few kilograms, the man’s dilemma of overstocked goods would be solved.
Thinking of this, he bowed to the man and said, "My dear brother, everyone encounters difficulties when they are away from home. Don't worry too much. Since we have encountered this, it is fate. I will do my best to help. Please weigh five pounds for me."
The middle-aged man was so excited that he almost cried. He had been here for several days, but he had not sold a single pound of these beets. He no longer had any hope.
Although it was only five pounds, it was a great help to him as he was penniless. At least he had a dinner for today.
He hurriedly bowed to Chen Zhanshan and thanked him, "Thank you so much, kind man. I'll weigh five kilograms for you right away."
When she heard that she wanted to buy five catties, Lin hurriedly calculated in her mind. One catty of beets cost three cents, and five catties would be fifteen cents. This price was enough to buy three catties of corn. What if the vegetable was not delicious? Wouldn't it be a waste?
Thinking of this, she quickly raised her hand to stop the middle-aged man, "Brother, please wait a moment before weighing yourself."
The middle-aged man was stunned, thinking that Lin didn't want to buy it, so he quickly explained, "Sister-in-law, this beet is delicious. As long as it is kept in a cool place, it can be stored for a long time without going bad."
Chen Zhanshan misunderstood and thought that his wife complained that he didn't buy enough. But then he thought that since he was helping her, he should buy more.
He quickly said to the middle-aged man, "Brother, don't weigh five pounds, just weigh ten pounds."
Seeing that Chen Zhanshan had misunderstood her meaning, Lin frowned anxiously, gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, and whispered, "You've never seen this before. How are you going to eat so much? It would be a pity if you can't keep it."
"It's okay, didn't this brother say that this dish won't spoil easily? Let's save it and eat it slowly."
Mrs. Lin felt that it was a bit too much and looked at Chen Qingqing hurriedly, "Qing girl, ten catties is thirty coins. Please persuade your father to sell less."
"Mom, this is good stuff. Ten pounds is not too much." Chen Qingqing said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, I want all the beets you have."
The middle-aged man's breathing tightened, thinking there was something wrong with his ears. He shook his head vigorously and asked again, "Girl, what did you say just now?"
Chen Qingqing smiled and repeated, "I asked you how many kilograms of beets you have. I want them all."
The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock, and his voice trembled. "Girl, I brought a whole shipload of beets, all stored on the shore. It weighs a full 5,000 kilograms. Are you sure you want them all?"
Five thousand kilograms of beets can produce one thousand kilograms of brown sugar, which is one hundred taels of silver. The cost is only fifteen taels of silver. Excluding labor and other expenses, the profit is still very large.
Chen Qingqing nodded seriously, "Yes, I want all 5,000 kilograms of beets."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
The smile on Chen Zhanshan's face froze completely. "Qing girl, you, you said you want to buy them all? That won't do!"
"Yes, this is several thousand kilograms. You can't buy it all on impulse." Lin also waved her hands repeatedly, her face full of anxiety.
Chen Qingqing had anticipated this reaction from her parents and said with a smile, "Dad, Mom, I'm not acting rashly. Don't worry, I have my own plans."
Chen Zhanshan was anxious. He couldn't understand what had happened to his daughter, who had always been cautious, today and why she made such an impulsive decision.
He couldn't help but dissuade her, "Qing girl, don't act on impulse. These are several thousand kilograms of beets. Even if we eat them every day, we probably won't be able to finish them in a year. You can't buy them all. Besides, we don't have anywhere to store them!"
Lin also started to persuade, "I know you have good intentions, but we just need to do what we can. There's no need to be so stubborn. This is not a joke."
The crowd who were watching finally came to their senses and began to try to dissuade them.
"Girl, don't be silly. Listen to your parents and buy less. It would be a waste if you can't finish it all."
"That's right! This is several thousand kilograms of beets. What's the point of buying so much? It will cost a lot of money!"
"That's right. Five thousand catties of beets, three cents a catty, three times five equals fifteen, that's fifteen taels of silver. There's nothing wrong with that money. Even if you eat meat every day, it'll last you more than a year. Don't regret it later, it will be too late."
"Yeah, even kindness has to have a limit. You can't just ask for everything you want. You'll have a hard time living your life!"
......
Hearing these words, Chen Qingqing just shook her head and smiled, not wanting to make any explanation.
Seeing her parents looking at her anxiously, she said seriously, "Dad, Mom, believe me, I have a way to turn these beets into treasures."
Chen Zhanshan looked at his daughter's determined eyes and did not doubt her. His daughter had brought him too many surprises these days.
First she dug up ginseng, then she treated the Fan family. Everything was under her control, but it was the parents who had to rely on her in everything.
Just based on these, you shouldn't stop your daughter's decision. She must have a reason for doing so.
"Okay, Dad believes you."
Although Lin wanted to stop it, her husband had already agreed, so she couldn't say anything more.
The middle-aged man's eyes were red, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak. "Girl, you really helped me a lot, thank you so much."
Chen Qingqing smiled faintly, "Uncle, you don't have to be polite. These beets are exactly what I need. However, I have to trouble you to deliver them to Nanshan Village for me."
"Okay, okay, that's absolutely no problem." The man smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Girl, you are really my savior!"
"I can't call you my savior, but we both have our needs. I look forward to our continued cooperation!"
"Oh, that's great." The man didn't expect to meet such a straightforward buyer.
From what he said, we can expect to cooperate in the future. This is truly a blessing in disguise.
He suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "I was so happy that I forgot to introduce myself. My last name is Zheng, and my courtesy name is Zhong."
Chen Qingqing smiled and nodded. "Hello, Uncle Zheng, my name is Chen Qingqing." She then casually took out fifteen taels of silver and said, "This is the payment for the beets. Please keep it."
