Chapter 24 Can that thing be sold for money?



Seeing that everyone was so accommodating, Wang Yuanguang finally felt relieved.

If everyone is willing to buy on credit, things will be much easier.

However,

"Thank you for your kindness, uncles and aunts, but thank you!"

At this moment, Wang Qian shouted, "As long as you have potatoes, bring them with you. No matter how many, I will buy them all for one cent per pound. I will never owe you a single penny!"

"Xiao Qian, what are you doing?"

Wang Yuanguang immediately became anxious, "At a time like this, there's no need to put on a brave face!"

Lu Aihua was also extremely anxious. "Xiao Qian, it's rare for everyone to trust us so much, so please stop showing off."

Lin Xiaoyu added, "Wang Qian, everyone brought way too many potatoes today. Putting aside whether we can make enough to cover our costs, with so many, there won't be any trucks to take them to the county town tomorrow."

"I've already considered all of this!"

Wang Qian turned around and smiled, saying, "Since I dare to make such a statement, I'm definitely not just putting on a show."

"But……"

Before Lin Xiaoyu could say anything more, Wang Qian urged her immediately, "To avoid wasting everyone's precious time, Xiaoyu, quickly get your notebook out so we can start weighing everyone."

"Well... okay!"

Under Wang Qian's repeated insistence, Lin Xiaoyu had no choice but to comply.

Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua said nothing more.

Next, Wang Qian weighed everyone one by one.

Lin Xiaoyu was diligently keeping accounts on the side.

After weighing the potatoes for each household, Wang Qian immediately paid them the money, never owing anyone a single penny.

Today he took potatoes to the county town and indeed only made 780 yuan.

Adding the fourteen dollars and nine cents he had left, he had less than eight hundred dollars in total.

but,

In order to buy more potatoes, he tricked Li Guangsheng, not only raising the price by two cents per unit, but also getting an advance payment of five hundred yuan.

Besides, the morel mushrooms he bought from Yang Laowu yesterday for five yuan were actually sold for three hundred and ten yuan.

After deducting the 40 yuan freight fee he paid to Liu Erzhuang for helping him transport the goods, he added 20 yuan worth of diesel fuel on the way and paid a 100 yuan deposit to the freight company.

He still has more than 1,400 yuan on him.

At a price of one cent per pound, he could buy at least 14,000 pounds of potatoes.

More than an hour later, all the potatoes had been weighed.

A total of 8,462 jin.

The pile of potatoes almost completely filled his yard.

However, this expense caused Wang Yuanguang, Lu Aihua, and Lin Xiaoyu to feel their hearts bleed.

It cost 846.2 yuan to buy so many potatoes!

This was a huge sum of money for them, who were used to being poor.

But for the past hour or so, I've watched helplessly as Wang Qian counted them off bit by bit.

That feeling was indescribably awful.

If they can't earn it back, they'll have nowhere to turn to cry.

However, just when they thought the day's acquisition was over, Wang Qian said again, "Uncles and aunts, do you still have potatoes at home? If you do, you can bring them over. I'll continue buying today."

What?

Should we continue making acquisitions?

This time, not only Wang Qian's relatives, but also everyone else present was frightened.

They've already bought over 8,000 jin (4,000 kg), and they still want to keep buying?

Where did Wang Qian get so much money?

With so many potatoes, what are we going to use to transport them to the county town?

"Wang Qian, maybe... we should just forget about it!"

Lin Xiaoyu tugged at Wang Qian's sleeve and said in a pleading tone, "Today's potato purchases are already three times that of yesterday. How about we continue purchasing tomorrow?"

Wang Yuanguang also said, "Xiao Qian, we've already invested too much capital today, we can't accept any more."

"Xiaoyu, Dad, it's okay, trust me."

Wang Qian smiled and continued to say to everyone, "I still need to buy about 5,000 jin. If any of you uncles and aunts have potatoes at home, you can go back and bring them back. The price will still be the same, one jiao per jin. I will definitely not owe you any money."

"Xiao Qian, are you sure you want to keep accepting these?"

Zheng Laoliu was somewhat alarmed. "You've collected so much, how are you going to transport it to the county town tomorrow?"

Upon hearing this, the others also looked over curiously.

This is a question that everyone has in mind.

Whether Wang Qian has more capital is secondary.

Based on the situation over the past two days, they would be at ease even if they had to give the potatoes to Wang Qian on credit.

The main problem is that Wang Qian has so many potatoes to collect, and with just two tractors, even if he works all day, he simply can't finish hauling them all away.

"Uncle Zheng, if I dare to acquire so many, I can think of a way to deal with them."

After giving a vague response, Wang Qian added, "It's getting late. If you trust me, go back and fetch some potatoes."

How could we not trust them?

Since Wang Qian had already said that, Zheng Laoliu didn't press the matter further and said casually, "I'll go back now and have my wife carry it with me. I'll get you another three or four hundred jin."

Finally, he asked cautiously, "Xiao Qian, isn't this too much?"

"Won't!"

Wang Qian waved his hand, "I'd take it even if you carried 500 pounds, just be careful on the way, don't fall."

Zheng Laoliu felt a surge of warmth in his heart and hurriedly nodded, "Alright, Uncle will go and bring the potatoes right away."

After saying that, Zheng Laoliu immediately grabbed his basket and hurriedly left.

"I still have over 100 jin (50 kg) left, I'll go and carry that too!"

"I still have dozens of kilograms left at home, I'll just bring them all."

“I’ve run out of stock at home, but since Xiaoqian is still buying, I’ll get the whole family out to dig some up. We’ll make sure to get at least a hundred or two hundred pounds before dark.”
