The next morning, everyone packed up and set off down the mountain after breakfast.
Xia Youyou hugged Qi Siling's neck and was carried down the mountain by him. Thinking of the unusual passion between the two of them last night, her face flushed.
She secretly watched the man's profile as he looked at the road intently, biting her lips lightly, and quickly looked away when he turned around.
Qi Siling chuckled, knowing that she was embarrassed, tilted her head and rubbed her hair, then continued on her way.
Guangzhou is not as prosperous and bustling as Hong Kong, but its roads are wide and the houses are not as densely packed and tall.
They rode their bicycles on the road, wandering around aimlessly.
Because it was Chinese New Year, there were not many people walking on the streets, so I could only find a supply and marketing cooperative to go in and have a look.
Xiao Hai's mind was active, and he thought that jackfruits could also be sold here. He secretly dragged Cao An out, and when he came back, he was carrying two jackfruits weighing about 50 kilograms.
The salesmen at the supply and marketing cooperative were all stunned and gathered around to ask what it was.
Cao An was not vague and directly cut one of the fruits in half and gave some flesh to everyone.
Xiao Hai waited until they had tasted it before saying, "This is called jackfruit, but it's a fruit from Hong Kong. It's sweet, fragrant, and nutritious. Ask the manager if the supply and marketing cooperative will accept it. It's one yuan per pound."
The salesperson thought it was a bit pricey, but it was so delicious! It was much sweeter than the apple that cost 1.2 yuan per pound!
"This thing looks big, but the shreds inside can be stir-fried and eaten in dishes, and even the core can be boiled and given to children as a snack. It tastes like chestnuts and a bit like potatoes." Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Xiao Hai gave them some more scientific information.
I heard that everything in it is edible, so no one feels that they are missing out. If you can only eat the meat, it is definitely not worth it.
The foreman quickly went to find the manager to confirm whether they wanted it, then borrowed a cart, and Cao An and Xiao Hai pushed it out to haul the jackfruits.
They didn't have time to look for a house or warehouse, so they had to use this method. They found a deserted place and dragged a cart of jackfruits over.
Each truck weighed 2,000 kilograms, and the manager counted the money for them with a painful look on his face.
After the transaction was completed, Cao An thought the cart was quite convenient, so he took a few people to a place that specialized in selling carts and bought two.
Now that the free market has been liberalized, it’s not too much to push a cart and hawk your wares!
Since there is a show tonight, they can take the fruits and wait outside. Maybe someone will come to take a look.
Cao An and Xiao Hai were not interested in the party, so they asked Qi Siling to take Xia Youyou and her mother to buy tickets, while he and Xiao Hai started pushing a cart to sell fruits along the street.
The five people acted separately, wearing walkie-talkie headsets so that they could contact each other at any time if anything happened.
After wandering around outside for the whole morning, we found a guesthouse for Xia Youyou and Liu Hui to take a nap. After a good rest, they could enjoy watching the show in the evening.
Cao An and Xiao Hai's business was booming, and there were many people gathering in front of their stalls.
Especially the sweet and cloying sugar apple, it sells the best!
In those days, people had limited food supplies, especially sugar, which required a ticket! This sugar apple could completely replace sugar, and it didn't even require a ticket! That's why it's such a hot seller!
It’s okay if it’s a bit expensive, but everyone can accept one dollar per pound, and it looks more cost-effective than that jackfruit!
Cao An and Xiao Hai were busy all afternoon, selling out one truckload and getting more.
No one was interested in wax apples because every household here grew them. So when Cao An saw that no one was buying them, he just put them away.
A lot of rambutan, mangosteen, sugar apple, jackfruit and durian were sold in one afternoon.
After a rough calculation, including the supply and marketing cooperatives, the total sales amounted to 10,000 yuan!
