When Huoda came back, Fu Baoer was not surprised. She smiled triumphantly at Chen Wei and said that within five minutes he would come back and beg them to sell it to him.
Shen Suizhi was helpless. She was right. Is this wine really so delicious? It's a pity that he is too young to taste it.
"Little boy, hey," Huo Da squatted down, rubbing his hands, a little embarrassed, "Can you give uncle a discount? Twelve yuan is almost half a month's salary for a worker. It's really too expensive. Besides, this bottle of yours is only half a pound, right?"
Nonsense, of course it's expensive. If it's not expensive, we're doing charity! We're making money from you rich people. Once the factory is built, we'll adjust the prices. Fu Baoer secretly complained, but the smile on her face became more and more lovely. "Uncle, you've tried this wine. Do you think it's worth the price?"
Huo Da hadn't expected this kid to be so difficult. No wonder their family trusted them to take such a risk on their own. He deliberately frightened them, "You're still young and don't know the ins and outs of this. Just talking about a private transaction, if you get caught, you'll both be criticized! So, give your uncle a discount, and I'll take all the wine from now on. It's safe and secure, okay?"
Fu Baoer was not afraid at all. "Uncle, if you want to report it, just go ahead. If they can catch me, I will give you wine for free in the future."
Huoda was stunned. Are all kids nowadays so crazy?
"No, that's not what I meant..."
Fu Baoer decided not to tease him anymore. This guy didn't look like a bad person. "Okay, uncle, since you're sincere about buying it and know a lot about wine, I'll give you a two-dollar discount. Let's just be friends, okay?"
Huo Da still thought it was too expensive, but the smell kept drilling into his nose, making him feel anxious. "Okay, okay, just ten yuan. I'll take all the money you have!"
Fu Baoer brought out five bottles today. She took out two bottles and handed them to Huo Da. "This is all I can give you. I'll be here at five in the morning on the first and fifteenth day of every month. If you want anything, just come here and wait for me."
Huo Da was a little dissatisfied. There were only two bottles, and it looked like there might be more in the backpack. However, for the sake of long-term planning, he endured it and took out twenty yuan and handed it to Fu Baoer. "It's a deal, give me more next time. Uncle is a wine lover. After drinking this, I won't want anything else."
Fu Baoer nodded. They didn't ask each other's names, as it was taboo. "Next time I will bring some different kinds. The prices will be different~"
Huo Da nodded vigorously. That was great. He sent Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi away with eager eyes, put the two bottles of wine in his arms, protecting them carefully. After checking that there was no one around, he walked home happily.
Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi hid in the corner and waited until Huo Da left before they came out. "Let's go and see what's going on."
The two of them followed Huo Da slowly and came to a family compound. "So they are workers at the flour mill. Hmm... when we can get a job at a state-owned factory in the future, we can escort them to a New Year gift so that everyone in our village can eat Fuqiang flour."
It was only after Shen Sui came to Qingshan Village that he realized that many people had such a hard life. "Then we have to work harder!" He had just opened his first order and earned only 20 yuan.
It seems that we still have to produce tens of thousands of jars of wine before becoming a big factory.
Fu Baoer was full of confidence and enthusiasm, "Let's go, let's go meet the director of the supply and marketing cooperative that Grandpa Shen mentioned, Liu Pinsheng."
According to Shen Xiuqi, Liu Pinsheng should be very reliable. He had received help from the Shen family when he was down and out. During this crisis, he had also informed Shen Xiuqi in advance, so the women and children of the Shen family were able to go to Hong Kong Province smoothly.
Following the address written on the note, Fu Baoer and Shen Suizhi arrived in front of a row of two-story buildings. It was morning cooking time, and they could smell cooking smoke as they approached. They were a little hungry, so they found a rock to sit down. Fu Baoer took out two buns from his backpack and said, "One for each of us!"
Shen Suizhi took it, took a bite, and squinted his eyes with satisfaction. Wild vegetable buns are so delicious.
It was also a coincidence that just after the two of them finished eating the buns, Shen Suizhi saw a familiar figure, "It's Uncle Liu!" He had seen him several times during the Chinese New Year. Liu Pinsheng often came to pay New Year's greetings to his grandfather.
Liu Pinsheng was also very impressed by Shen Suizhi, so he recognized him from a distance and wondered how he found himself here. Did he encounter any difficulties?
"Kid, why are you here? What happened?" Liu Pinsheng quickly walked over and led the two of them to the back of the house. "What difficulties did your grandfather encounter?"
Shen then shook his head and pointed at Fu Baoer and said, “Uncle Liu, Grandpa and I are fine. It’s this little sister who came to discuss business with you on behalf of Qingshan Village.”
Liu Pinsheng was extremely surprised, his eyes widening. Although the little girl in front of him was neither humble nor arrogant, and her eyes were clear, she was only about seven years old and could barely recognize all the words. How could she talk about business? Besides, in this day and age, she could barely protect herself, so how could she dare to do business?
"Stop messing around," Liu Pinsheng took Shen Sui's hand, "go home first and ask your aunt to cook you two some food. After you finish eating, I'll bring you some things to take back. Normally, I really don't dare to send things to you. My uncle Shen must understand."
Shen Suizhi and Shen Xiuqi certainly understood that given their current status, it was already good enough for them not to add insult to injury, not to mention that Liu Pinsheng had helped them before.
Fu Baoer didn't say much. I'll pour the wine later and see if you dare to look down on me!
Liu Pinsheng pressed the two children to sit on the sofa and asked his wife to cook two more dishes. He then asked in detail about Shen Xiuqi's life in Qingshan Village. After learning that the people there were nice and no one bullied them, he breathed a sigh of relief.
When Shen Qiaosheng approached him, hoping to arrange for Shen Xiuqi and Shen Suizhi to live in Qingshan Village, he didn't quite understand. Although Qingshan Village had a high grain yield in the past two years, it was not rich because of the small population and small land area. Could the grandfather and grandson earn enough to eat there?
Now it seems that Shen Qiaosheng might be right. The most important thing is that people are good and officials have good moral character, then they won't have a bad life.
When the dishes were served, Liu Pinsheng's wife Du Qiumei greeted the two children, especially Fu Baoer. She liked him the moment she saw him. He was fair and tender, like a doll in a New Year picture, and he looked very blessed.
Fu Baoer smiled sweetly at Du Qiumei, revealing her eight little teeth. She had observed that there was no sign of children in the family, and Du Qiumei seemed to like children very much. It seemed that the two of them had been trying to have a child for many years. It didn't matter, Baoer's blessings would be shared with you, as long as you help Qingshan Village to make big business, that would be all!
