I kept calling until it got dark, and finally, no one was around anymore.
Today's harvest included 18,600 jin of potatoes and 14,400 jin of corn.
Potatoes are priced at 12 cents per pound, and corn at 15 cents per pound. Today's purchase cost is as high as 4,400 yuan.
This number was simply terrifying for Wang Yuanguang, Lu Aihua, and Lin Xiaoyu.
They had been saving for a long time before they finally saved up a little over a hundred yuan.
But now, the cost for them to buy potatoes and corn is more than four thousand yuan a day.
This disparity felt almost like a dream to them.
"Our Xiaoqian has made something of himself!"
Although unspoken, this was the shared sentiment of Wang Yuanguang and Lu Aihua.
The way she looked at Wang Qian was filled with satisfaction and doting affection.
As for Lin Xiaoyu, she was overjoyed.
For her, Wang Qian's sudden ability to make a lot of money was secondary.
What she truly valued was Wang Qian's attitude towards her over the past few days.
Previously, Wang Qian had despised and loathed her in every way, and seemed to find everything she did extremely displeasing.
But in the past few days, Wang Qian has been like a different person. His thoughtfulness and care for her have moved her to tears several times.
...
The next day, Wang Qian got up very early.
Because we harvested a lot of potatoes and corn yesterday, two Dongfeng trucks came today.
Of course, this was booked in advance by Wang Qian.
He had a very accurate estimate of today's freight volume.
This greatly shocked Wang Yuanguang, Lu Aihua, and Lin Xiaoyu.
"Xiao Qian, did you already expect that Wang Dalin wouldn't compete with us yesterday?"
“Otherwise, the potatoes and corn we bought the day before yesterday would only be enough for one truck, but you ordered two trucks directly when you came back from the county town yesterday.”
"Have you already thought of a way to deal with Wang Dalin stealing your business?"
Feeling a little guilty under the strange gazes of the three men, Wang Qian suddenly felt uneasy.
"No, I just think that the amount of potatoes and corn we buy will only increase steadily, so I ordered two trucks."
Not wanting to continue on this topic, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "I have to go to the county town. You all wait for me at home."
Soon, he got into the passenger seat of a truck and went to the county town with the driver.
...
Wang Dalin's home.
"That damn guy, it's been all night and he still hasn't come back. Did he really die in a car accident on the way?"
Liu Qingshui was both anxious and indignant.
She didn't sleep a wink last night.
She tossed and turned, waiting until this morning, but her husband, Wang Dalin, still hadn't returned.
"Aunt Liu, hasn't your Dalin come back yet?"
A familiar voice came from the doorway.
Chen Mei?
Liu Qingshui immediately understood.
Sure enough, turning her head, she saw Chen Mei striding towards her house, her face also filled with anxiety.
Not yet.
Liu Qingshui shook his head. "I don't know what he's doing in the county town. If he hasn't come back by the afternoon, I'll have to go to the county town to look for him."
"But you can't read, how are you going to the county town by yourself?"
Chen Mei walked closer and said worriedly, "Wang Qian has already taken two large carts of potatoes and corn to the county town. What's going on with your Da Lin?"
At that moment, she was filled with immense regret.
If she had known Wang Dalin was so unreliable, she shouldn't have given the potatoes to Liu Qingshui on credit yesterday.
It's even more inappropriate to act impulsively and vouch for others.
If something really happens to Wang Dalin and he can't come back, or if he does come back but doesn't have the money to pay for the potatoes, wouldn't she suffer a huge loss?
The most fatal thing is,
Those who vouched for her will definitely cause her trouble.
No matter how much she regretted it, at this point, all she could do was pray that Wang Dalin hadn't met with any accident, but had instead made money and was doing some shady business in the county town.
In that case, as long as Wang Dalin comes back, he shouldn't renege on their debt.
And only then can her family find a place to sell their potatoes and corn.
...
An hour later.
Tianming Snacks Co., Ltd.
"Wang Qian, you did a great job today!"
Looking at the two large trucks loaded with potatoes and corn, Li Guangsheng's face was full of smiles. "You actually managed to get me so much. It seems you have quite a bit of influence in your village."
"A reputation painstakingly built up."
Wang Qian gave a perfunctory answer, then asked, "Any progress on the jar containing the roasted green pepper sauce?"
He certainly had high expectations for this deal.
In its previous life, Lao Gan Ma was a global phenomenon.
The roasted green pepper sauce made by his wife, Lin Xiaoyu, was not only delicious and appetizing to him, but Li Guangsheng also praised it highly.
Once it can be promoted, sales will definitely not be low.
"Wait patiently, this takes time!"
Li Guangsheng said with a smile, "Making this kind of product takes a lot of time for each step, so you can't rush it."
Just then, the voice of Li Guangsheng's secretary, Zhang Manting, came from not far away: "Mr. Li, the potatoes and corn have just been weighed, and the weight has been determined."
"How much are they respectively?" Li Guangsheng asked.
Zhang Manting walked over quickly and handed a notebook to Li Guangsheng.
"18,620 catties of potatoes and 14,438 catties of corn, not bad, not bad!"
Li Guangsheng was very satisfied with the result. "Immediately count the money to Wang Qian, not a penny less. He is now our company's largest supplier of raw materials."
