Chapter 43 Earned a Lot of Money Again

Thinking of the bad things that happened in the guesthouse, she was furious.

While counting the fruits, Huang Xinran picked out a small one and even left a small basket out for himself: "These fruits are not included. I'll give them to you to taste!"

"No, no, just take what's due. I ate a basket of your cherries last time. I'd be embarrassed to ask for more."

Sun Ya also hopes that Huang Xinran can continue to supply her with goods, so naturally she doesn't want to take advantage of this small advantage and ruin their relationship.

"Take it! As the saying goes, 'Even if it's food, the government won't investigate.' It's just a small token of my appreciation. This is just for once. Don't be polite to me."

"Officials will not investigate what is eaten." This is actually a local saying, which means that even if someone steals something that can be eaten directly, if the thief is caught, the official (referring to the old county magistrate) will mediate and will not investigate the crime.

"...Okay, I'll take it then."

Seeing that Huang Xinran was giving it to her sincerely, Sun Ya finally accepted it.

Although it was only half a basket of cherries, she was still very happy: "To be honest, didn't I buy a bunch of cherries from you last time? I sold them all the time... Oh, I seem to have forgotten to tell you that I actually have a fixed sales channel..." She smiled apologetically: "Last time I originally saved some for myself, but in the end, for some reason I didn't eat any."

"Then you have to hide it carefully this time."

Huang Xinran followed the smile happily and had no intention of asking further questions. "There are a total of 1,600 cherries, and at the price of 20 cherries for 5 yuan, it is exactly 400 yuan... Oh, right! I should have refunded you 10 yuan that day, and you just give me 390 yuan." She explained again the origin of the 10 yuan.

"No thanks, this basket of cherries costs more than 10 yuan."

Sun Ya was amused by her serious attitude.

Although the two of them were working together, the other party would know sooner or later that I bought the cherries for the hotel. But that didn't mean I wanted her to know before the transaction was completed.

"Don't worry, I will hide well this time!"

She happily took out her money: "Here, this is Cherry's money. It's quite a lot, so take it!" She then asked Huang Xinran to follow her: "Let's go and take Cherry to the car."

This time she drove here and just put it in the car and left.

400 yuan, all in large groups of 10 yuan each, is indeed a lot.

Huang Xinran seemed very calm. He responded while putting the money in his pocket and followed her, carrying the bag.

This caused Sun Ya to look at her twice more.

After Huang Xinran put down the cherries, Sun Ya actually stayed behind: "Didn't you say you still have fruits from a dozen cherry trees? Can I go with you to take a look?"

Rather than discussing it with Huang Xinran, it would be better to say that she unilaterally finalized the matter.

Go see it now?

Huang Xinran didn't know what to say. Now the cherries on the tree were all green. What was Sun Ya going to see? To see the scenery?

However, she did not refuse outright.

"Logically, since we have reached an agreement, I should let you see the fruit trees. However..."

Huang Xinran smiled shyly: "Although we have a verbal agreement, we have no proof at the moment, and I haven't even asked you to pay a deposit. Comrade Sun, if you want to see the fruit trees, it's not impossible. When I see the deposit, I will take you to see it. How do you think?"

"Oh, look at how confused I am..."

Sun Ya slapped her forehead.

Don't mention it, she actually forgot about it!

Unfortunately, she came out today just to try her luck and didn't bring much cash. Plus, she just paid Huang Xinran 400 yuan, so the remaining money was obviously not enough for the deposit.

She thought for a moment and said, "Okay! I'll go back first and discuss it with my parents. We'll meet here tomorrow morning. Then I'll bring the money and go there in person."

"Okay, no problem."

Huang Xinran was not afraid that she would go back on her word.

She has the "Qingdi Heart Sutra" in her hand, so she can get cherries whenever she wants. Even if the other party doesn't want them, she can just sell them at a lower price. If no one buys them, she can keep them for herself.

After Sun Ya got the accurate information, she jumped into the car and urged the driver to drive.

She had to hurry back to tell her parents the good news, and most importantly, bring the deposit over.

Huang Xinran received another 400 yuan and felt relieved.

On the first day, cherries were the cheapest, selling for only 110 yuan, and on the second day she sold for more than 400 yuan. However, she also bought a lot of rice, flour, oil and other things, spending a lot of money. Now, including the 400 yuan she sold today, she still has more than 900 yuan on her.

900 bucks?

In the 1980s, there were probably only a handful of families, especially in the countryside, who could easily take out 900 yuan.

Now that she has a huge sum of money in her hands, she can't help but be happy.

Having made a lot of money, she walked back briskly. However, she didn't notice that there was a pair of greedy eyes staring at her hungrily from behind.

The sky brightened silently.

The morning market at the entrance of the steel factory also gradually dispersed, with only a few vegetable stalls remaining.

Huang Xinran had been busy since last night and was already starving. Her stomach was growling. She had originally planned to buy some food to fill her stomach, but there was nothing.

Just when I was feeling disappointed, I looked up and saw someone coming out of the alley next to me carrying a big bowl of steamed buns. My eyes suddenly lit up!

How could she have forgotten it!

The chef at the steel factory is from Shandong, and his dishes, whether big white steamed buns, flower rolls, or dumplings, are all delicious!

Especially the size of the big white steamed buns, which were as big as two hands clasped together. Even with her current greasy stomach, she would be full after eating four!

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and ran towards the cafeteria with her empty basket.

In fact, the steel plant’s cafeteria did not prohibit outsiders from buying meals. As long as you could show the factory’s meat coupons, vegetable coupons, and grain coupons, they would buy you as much as you wanted.

Unfortunately, Huang Xinran didn’t have a ticket.

There were piles of steamed buns in the window. Huang Xinran squatted for a long time, looking at the lively scene of workers who had just changed jobs queuing up to buy meals, and then walked to the other side.

What she didn't know was that she thought she was not conspicuous at the moment, but she forgot that she was a stranger and had already attracted the interest of many people. It was only because of the basket on her shoulders that people knew she was selling vegetables at the morning market that no one drove her away.

Even so, there were still many people secretly observing her.

Huang Xinran was unaware of this. She had already set her sights on a worker who was obviously chatting and laughing with the chef in the back kitchen. When the worker got his meal and walked out of the canteen, she quickly followed him and called him over.

After whispering to the man for a while, he was obviously interested. He left in a hurry and brought a stack of tickets to Huang Xinran in a short time. The two quickly completed the transaction.

When Huang Xinran walked out of the steel factory canteen, the basket was bulging and a unique aroma of pasta was wafting in the air.
