Seeing that no one had any objection, Li Zhenguo turned around and formally discussed the price with Cao An and Xiao Hai.
Oranges are considered high-end fruits at this time. Only the oranges here have thin skin, are juicy, and are sweet, so they are more expensive.
Because their oranges were large and sweet, comparable to imported oranges from the United States, they ultimately negotiated a price of 0.30 yuan per jin (approximately 1000 kg) for the oranges, plus 3,000 jin (approximately 1000 kg) of seafood, successfully securing the partnership. The oranges from the Gannan Brigade were large, each weighing nearly a jin (approximately 1000 kg).
Who would buy an orange for the price of a pound of rice these days?
Cao An was no fool. Of course he couldn't sell his oranges here, so he decided to go to Hong Kong! He had read about the origin of oranges in a journal, so he chose to come here to buy oranges.
After agreeing on the price, the three of them left Xia Youyou behind and went up the mountain with the villagers to pick oranges. They went to find a car and drag the seafood over.
Xia Youyou pouted as she followed the captain up the mountain, gritting her teeth and cursing at them for always leaving her behind! But she also understood that they were doing it for her own good and didn't want her to have to run around with them. Only after reaching Orange Mountain were they shocked by the vibrant yellow scenery!
The trees were so heavy with oranges that they bent over, and some of them drooped to the ground, unable to bear the weight, and had to be propped up with sticks.
Cao An told a few people about his plan on the way. Since he had a week's vacation, he still had to go to Hong Kong!
Qi Siling and Xiao Hai naturally agreed. He was the one in charge and what he said made sense, so of course he agreed.
I rode my bike all the way to the transport team. Since I'd never been here before, I had a hard time finding someone to rent a bike. Finally, I provided a letter of introduction, my ID card, a 1,000 yuan deposit, and three bikes, and successfully rented three large trucks. Of course, they kept the bikes there!
Three trucks drove out of the transport team and arrived at a remote place. Cao An released the seafood and went directly to the Gannan Brigade.
When they arrived, because the road was difficult to walk on, Xia Youyou was called down by the team leader to watch them weigh the goods.
The weighed items were dumped on the front yard of the brigade headquarters, waiting for the car to arrive.
Hundreds of people were busy picking oranges on the mountain, just like during the busy farming season. But when everyone thought about how much they could earn, they naturally became more motivated to work.
I had a quick lunch at noon. At the end of the day, when the sun had already set, I finally finished harvesting all the oranges on the mountain.
Xia Youyou stood at the foot of the mountain and looked at what was originally a sea of orange, but now only a few scattered ones remained. For some reason, she felt a little happy for them.
Cao An and his two companions dragged the oranges back and forth several times. On the last trip, they just collected the oranges and ran to the transport team to return the truck.
I rented a car for the same price as in Haishi, which was 30 yuan. The main reason was that the gas mileage was so high, so 30 yuan was a good price.
This trip brought in 50,000 kilograms of oranges, earning 15,000 yuan, which was paid on the spot. This was exactly the same amount of fruit they sold at the Hai Market. Several people were at a loss as to whether to laugh or cry. After all this resale, they were back to square one.
"It's okay, we will fly to Pengcheng tonight and go to Hong Kong tomorrow!" Cao An comforted the two of them and rode his bike very fast. He was going to pick up their young boss lady, who was the God of Wealth of Anhai!
Xia Youyou didn't think much about it. Although she had only watched people weigh themselves, it was a tiring day. At this moment, she was sitting by the fire that the villagers had built in front of the brigade headquarters, watching people carry their own tables over and prepare a sumptuous campfire dinner.
Every household had prepared their own specialties, and smelling the delicious aroma of food in the air, Xia Youyou just wanted to get closer to the fire. There was no other way; the mountains here were so cold, and she just felt cold. When she arrived, she was still wearing a skirt and a knitted vest, so even if she wanted to get a coat, she had to think twice. She just hoped Qi Siling would bring her one when she returned.
Qi Siling naturally brought one with him. They were riding their bikes against the cold wind in the mountains and felt the cold, so they had already taken out their coats and put them on.
When they arrived, they saw this scene.
The little girl got closer and closer to the fire, almost wanting to get into it! She saw the three people coming back from afar, and she was so happy that she almost burst into tears because she saw their coats!
Even if you don’t think of getting one for her, she can still wear theirs, so you’d better grab one even if you can!
Qi Siling parked the bicycle, looked at the pitiful appearance of the little girl, quickly took out the clothes from the back seat, ran forward to wrap her up.
"Aren't you afraid of burning your hair?" There was a tone of anger and worry in his voice.
Xia Youyou put on her long windbreaker and finally felt more comfortable. Her feet were no longer cold. If there was no one here, she would definitely crawl into his arms and act coquettishly.
Qi Siling pulled her aside and said, "Your brother said we are going to Pengcheng tonight. Can you still fly?" That was what he was worried about.
"I can hold out for two hours." Xia Youyou said without hesitation, "Let's fly."
"If it doesn't work, let your brother try to operate it later, and you watch from the side."
Cao An walked over and heard this. He immediately stepped forward and picked up Xia Youyou, "I can do it!"
Xia Youyou was caught off guard by his sudden attack. His big hands grabbed her arms on both sides and lifted them up directly. She screamed in fear: "Ah! Cao An, you dog!" She was caught off guard and her heartbeat quickened, showing signs of palpitations.
Qi Siling was caught off guard and watched the little girl beside him being taken away. He quickly turned around and snatched her back into his arms. After checking her expression and confirming that she was fine, he turned back and glared at Cao An.
"You're not afraid of scaring her."
Cao An also reacted, smoothed his hair, and smiled foolishly. Xiao Hai couldn't bear to watch!
Xia Youyou was so angry that she stretched out her claws to scratch Cao An.
Cao An didn't hide, knowing he'd done something wrong, and offered her his hand to scratch. "Brother, I was wrong. I'm just happy!" What man doesn't like cars and airplanes? When he had free time, he'd look at the cars and airplanes of the future, dreaming of the day when he could fly himself. Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, he was excited!
With the warm hospitality of the Gannan Brigade, several people had a unique campfire dinner.
Team leader Li Zhenguo wanted to keep a few people here for one night, but Cao An declined and rode his bicycle away from the Gannan Brigade.
Cao An was so excited that he wanted to take off immediately to avoid any more trouble.
After arriving at their landing site, they finally released the aircraft as Cao An expected.
Xia Youyou didn't want him to sit in the driver's seat, and he felt a little regretful, but he was also satisfied. As long as he could fly, it didn't matter where he sat.
He started to operate on the control panel, "Start, pull up."
The two aircraft rose from the ground without attracting anyone's attention.
Cao An was a little excited and slowly increased his speed, wanting to rise faster, but Xia Youyou noticed and held his hand.
"Don't mess around!"
