"If you want to see more, we can continue next time we meet."
That "ya" sound, deep and melodious, seemed to hook Song Lili's heart and her thoughts.
Without thinking, she asked again, "Really? I can really see it next time?"
"Really, I will do what I promised you."
"Okay...hehe...hehe..."
...
Leaving aside Song Lili's erratic behavior, let's talk about Wang Daming. Ever since he brought the cabbage to the supply and marketing cooperative, he hasn't had a moment's peace.
First, he went to the post office and called his cousin Wang Dazhi in the county town, saying, "Cousin, I have some good stuff here, do you want it?"
Wang Dazhi wasn't interested in the good stuff his cousin mentioned. This cousin had always been unreliable, and what he called "good stuff" might not actually be good stuff at all.
He asked lazily, "What good stuff? Did you go off somewhere again?"
This cousin of mine used to be so active at home, he was always running around and exploring every nook and cranny of the provincial capital. That's why the elders in the family arranged for him to work at the supply and marketing cooperative in Hongqi Town.
In just one month, they've already searched the entire town of Hongqi?
Wang Dazhi felt helpless, but he didn't know what to say.
I've told you, but you won't listen!
What's most ridiculous is that you can't ignore him, or he'll pester you until you give in.
Sure enough, Wang Dazhi asked again, "Tell me, what good stuff is it?" After saying that, he quickly got lost, as he had a lot of other things to do.
Wang Daming immediately shouted excitedly, "I have fifty catties of cabbage, do you want it?" He got straight to the point.
Wang Dazhi stopped being lazy and immediately straightened his back. "Really? You're not lying to me?" Cabbage in the dead of winter? Impossible, right?
"Really, really, just harvested, three cents a pound. Do you want it all?" Wang Daming couldn't contain his excitement and revealed his plan.
Yes, he didn't intend to keep the cabbages he received from Song Lili in Hongqi Town to sell; instead, he sold them directly to his cousin, who was the director of the county's supply and marketing cooperative, at a high price.
Wang Dazhi agreed without hesitation, before Wang Daming even asked a second time.
If it really is cabbage, especially cabbage in the dead of winter, even if it costs only 50 cents, people in the city will still buy it to try it.
With so many people buying, those fifty pounds of cabbage were gone in no time.
This cousin of mine, though he's a bit of a charlatan, he wouldn't lie or deceive people, so if he says he has it, then he definitely does.
Still feeling a bit uneasy, I double-checked, "Are you sure it's cabbage, and not dried vegetables?"
Wang Daming was in a good mood and replied with a smile, "It's not dried vegetables, it's fresh cabbage. I watched it being pulled from the ground, it's still so fresh and juicy."
Even though Wang Dazhi was surprised, he had no choice but to believe it.
"Alright, get the food ready for me, and I'll take some people over right away."
Then, without waiting for Wang Daming to say anything, he hung up the phone, strode out of the office, and sent someone to Hongqi Town.
Wang Daming was still in a good mood even after Wang Dazhi hung up on him. He hummed a little tune as he slowly walked out of the post office, his mood even better.
Haha, give my cousin three cents a pound, and he can sell it for three times the price. He can still make a lot of money from it, and it will also be credited to the supply and marketing cooperative. It's a win-win situation.
Hehe, he really is a genius!
Back at the supply and marketing cooperative, Wang Daming waited with his legs crossed for Wang Dazhi to arrive.
Jin Xia found it strange, and after hesitating for a long time, she asked, "Director, those vegetables—pointing to the cabbages unloaded at the entrance of the supply and marketing cooperative—are we going to move them inside?"
Wang Daming waved his hand and said, "No need, someone will come and take it away in a bit."
Jin Xia was surprised. "Don't you sell them in town?"
However, despite her doubts, she ultimately didn't ask and went back to doing her own thing behind the counter.
She does whatever the leader says; she's just an employee, all she has to do is obey.
Wang Dazhi arrived earlier than Wang Daming had expected. Seeing Wang Dazhi get off a tricycle, he immediately smiled and said...
"Cousin, it seems you're in a hurry, even faster than I thought."
Wang Dazhi couldn't help but glare at Wang Daming. That brat was teasing him again.
When Wang Dazhi saw the cabbage, he forgot about Wang Daming's teasing and asked happily, "Where did you get this cabbage? Do you have any more?"
In an instant, countless ideas popped into Wang Dazhi's mind.
Wang Daming poured cold water on his idea, saying, "Don't even think about it. I definitely won't tell you. That's all there is. If you want more, come back in forty days."
Song Lili said that the cycle of cabbage is forty days, which should be correct.
Wang Dazhi was initially disappointed, as he had countless ideas, but Wang Daming had already exposed them.
Hearing that there would be more in forty days, he became excited again, "Really? You're not kidding me? This really was grown in winter? Right here in the Northwest?"
Wang Daming nodded, "Yes, yes, yes, they were grown in winter, right here in Hongqi Town. I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake?"
He was quite pleased with himself at that moment.
I never thought that my cousin, whom my grandfathers always praised, would be asking me for help!
This is so exhilarating! It's so refreshing, it makes my heart soar!
Fortunately, Wang Dazhi didn't know what Wang Daming was thinking, otherwise he would have given him a beating.
Wang Dazhi's mind was entirely focused on the cabbage. "I'll come back in forty days. You must save some for me then."
Wang Daming nodded, "Okay, I'll hold it for you. The price is what we agreed on. You can't try to lower the price, otherwise there's no point in talking."
