"Uncle, don't be angry. Since they don't want to sell it, then I won't buy it." Lin Qingqing looked at Xue Guixiang again: "Mom, let's go."
The man got anxious when he heard this. He just wanted to raise the price, not really not sell it! These pears would just rot in the field if they weren't sold. It would be better to get some money.
"Forget it, I'll give it all to you! But let's make it clear first, I want to see the money right away!" The man pretended to be reluctant.
"Wang Mazi, what do you mean? Will my nephew's wife refuse to pay you? Look at what this is. My nephew's wife bought it for me!"
Xue Guibao took out the Daqianmen from his pocket and showed it off to everyone. Everyone had shocked expressions on their faces. Wang Mazi sniffed hard and his eyes turned red with envy!
"Uncle Wang, how many pear trees do you have? I'll pay you right away."
"Ten in total!"
Five cents per tree, ten trees equal fifty cents, so Lin Qingqing happily gave fifty cents to Wang Mazi.
Wang Mazi was the most difficult of these people. When others saw that Wang Mazi had taken the money, they also sold their pears at the same price.
Lin Qingqing bought a total of eighty pear trees and spent four dollars.
These eighty pear trees can produce at least eight hundred pears. Although the cost is higher than last time in Lijiazhuang, the pears are good, so the price is worth it.
The cart can only carry four baskets at a time, so she has to make two trips to carry 800 pears.
When Lin Qingqing was picking pears, some people in the village heard that she was picking pears and rushed over to ask her if she would pick the pears from her own garden.
She told these people that they could only make two trips today at most, and those who wanted to sell pears could come back tomorrow.
After picking pears from forty trees, the baskets were full. Lin Qingqing asked Xue Guixiang to pick up the remaining forty pears together and watch them here while she and Zhou Zhuo hurried to the county town to sell the pears.
Of course Xue Guixiang followed her daughter-in-law's arrangements. These pears would belong to her if she paid money. If she didn't keep an eye on them, she would be in trouble if they were stolen.
"Mom, if anyone asks us why we're picking pears, don't tell them, not even my uncle."
"Well, I'll tell them that we feed pigs." Xue Guixiang nodded.
Lin Qingqing left only after she had explained everything to her mother-in-law.
They left home at seven in the morning, and after collecting the pears and the time wasted on the road, they arrived at the cotton processing factory at past eleven. Lin Qingqing asked Zhou Zhuo to watch the car at the door while she went inside to look for Lao Li.
Old Li was about to get off work when he saw Lin Qingqing coming and went back to the office.
Everyone else in the office had left. Lin Qingqing took out two boxes of Daqianmen from her pocket and said, "Brother Li, I'm not familiar with the city. I'll need your help in the future."
She bought four boxes of cigarettes and only gave two to Xue Guibao. These two boxes were reserved for Li Xiang.
Although Li Xiang was an employee of a state-owned factory, he could only afford to take the "big construction" loan, and the amount was fixed every month.
Although he was not as excited as Xue Guibao when he saw the cigarettes, there was an obvious smile in his eyes. This girl was young and quite capable.
Without further ado, Old Li asked Lin Qingqing to bring the pears in and weigh them in front of her.
Yesterday they agreed on 20 cents per pound. The four baskets of pears weighed a total of 103 pounds. Lin Qingqing rounded off the decimal and calculated it as 100 pounds. This way, she could sell them for 20 yuan.
"The finance department is off work now, and you have another delivery this afternoon anyway, so why not settle it all together in the afternoon?"
"Okay, with Brother Li here, I have nothing to worry about." Lin Qingqing agreed immediately.
Li Xiang wanted to laugh. This guy was really good at getting close to others. He kept calling him Brother Li. If you didn't know him, you would really think he was his relative.
