"Damn it. I used to sell it for 2 yuan per pound and thought I was so heartless. I never thought that I would be treated as a fool by others." Xu Jianguo hated in his heart.
Seeing that Xu Jianguo's face was not right, Mr. Jin asked, "Little brother, what's wrong?"
"Ahem, it's okay, Mr. Jin, please continue."
"There are 1,400 kilograms of corn kernels. Cornmeal sells for 3 yuan per kilogram on the black market. I have to grind it fresh when I get home, so I'll give you 2 yuan per kilogram."
"How much do you charge for the polished one?"
"I can give you 2.5 yuan for the ground ones."
Xu Jianguo nodded and thought to himself, "Okay, I'll make 50 cents less per pound."
"Mr. Jin, please continue."
"The hares and pheasants weigh 450 kilograms in total. I'll give you 4.5 yuan per kilogram."
"Only 4.5 yuan?"
"Brother, I'll be honest. Lean pork is selling for 6 yuan per jin on the black market right now. Fatty and lean pork can go for 7.5 yuan. If it's more fat than lean, or even all fat, it can go for 9 yuan per jin. There's nothing we can do about it. People are short of oil and water, so fatty meat is more expensive than lean meat. But your hare and pheasant have almost no fat at all, so I can only give them 4.5 yuan."
Xu Jianguo felt that what Mr. Jin said made sense, so he didn't say anything and motioned him to continue.
"The pumpkin is nearly 200 kilograms. I'll charge you 200 kilograms at 0.80 yuan per kilogram. The other vegetables total 1,600 kilograms. I'll charge you 0.40 yuan per kilogram."
“How can such fresh vegetables be cheaper than pumpkin?”
"Little brother, pumpkins are much more filling than vegetables. One big pumpkin is enough food for a family of more than a dozen people for a day. They can do without vegetables, but they can't do without food. After all, being able to fill their stomachs is the most important thing. Plus, pumpkins are easy to store. With the temperature outside right now, vegetables will rot in a few days, so pumpkins are much easier to sell than vegetables."
"Okay, that's it."
"Good, that's great! In that case, the total is..."
"!" Xu Jianguo blurted out.
Mr. Jin was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Little brother, you are really amazing."
Seeing that the amount Xu Jianguo said was exactly the same as the result he calculated on paper, Mr. Jin became more certain that Xu Jianguo was not an ordinary person and that this skill must have been acquired through long-term business practice.
What Mr. Jin doesn't know is that the author typed all of this out using a calculator, otherwise how could Xu Jianguo calculate so quickly? (#^.^#)
