"I still have some, but not too much, it's all at home," Song Lili said truthfully.
Last time, due to funding constraints, she could only plant a small amount.
Wang Daming exclaimed excitedly, "Then let's hurry to your house, I want them all!" He rubbed his hands together, eager to grab Song Lili and head out the door.
Song Lili dodged Wang Daming's hand and said somewhat speechlessly, "Let's agree on the price first, and then go get the items."
Song Lili also realized that Wang Daming was an impatient person who wanted to do things immediately.
Upon hearing Song Lili's question, Wang Daming immediately asked, "So, how much do you want to sell it for?"
Song Lili thought about it for a moment. The price of cabbage is actually not high. Even if it is rare in winter, the price cannot be too outrageous.
However, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's one cent per pound. If you want it, I'll sell it all to you, and I'll give you priority when I get cabbage in the future."
There was no other way; she was short of money, so she had to ask for an exorbitant price. Normally, vegetables would only cost six or seven cents.
At that price, Song Lili was barely breaking the line.
Unexpectedly, Wang Daming agreed without hesitation, "Okay, one cent it is. Let's hurry up and get the cabbage."
Song Lili was somewhat surprised. Could things have gone so smoothly? It felt a little unreal.
She was stunned and stared blankly at Wang Daming, who seemed to be on steroids, wondering why he was so easy to talk to.
Wang Daming was so excited he felt like he could fly, and he had already figured out how to sell the vegetables.
Seeing Song Lili's somewhat dazed expression, he couldn't wait to pull her along, saying, "What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
It was only after Wang Daming pulled her that Song Lili fully came to her senses and realized that Wang Daming really wanted to buy her family's cabbage.
However, she still leaned back and pulled Wang Daming back, saying, "Wait, wait, let's wait a moment."
Wang Daming was anxious: "What are we waiting for? Let's go!"
Song Lili was speechless. Why was this person in such a hurry?
He quickly said, "Although I don't have many cabbages, I still have quite a few, at least forty or fifty pounds. Do you think you can bring them all back like this?"
Wang Daming was even more surprised and delighted. "There are so many? Wait for me a moment." Then, he hurriedly ran outside.
He originally thought it would only weigh a few pounds, maybe ten pounds at most, but it turned out to be forty or fifty pounds. It would be really hard for one person to carry, so he had to go out and find a car.
Song Lili was helpless. Watching Wang Daming run away, she could only wait where she was.
She took all the cabbages out of her basket and gave them to Jin Xia. "Sister Jin, thank you for today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to see your boss. Consider these cabbages my way of thanking you."
Jin Xia was a little embarrassed. "This isn't very nice. I only said a few words, and you..."
Jin Xia was actually tempted. It was already November, and all she could see when she went out was yellowish-brown earth; there wasn't a single patch of green to be seen, let alone any food.
Being able to eat fresh vegetables in winter is more satisfying than eating ginseng.
But she also heard it just now: this cabbage costs one cent per pound.
The things Song Lili gave her weighed at least five jin (2.5 kg), which amounted to about half a yuan, so she was hesitant to take them.
Knowing Jin Xia's concerns, Song Lili smiled and said, "Just accept it. I might need your help in the future. Consider this my way of building a relationship with you in advance."
Upon hearing Song Lili's words, Jin Xia immediately accepted the gift with a smile.
She thought about it and realized that Song Lili would be coming back to sell things in the future, so she would help her out more.
Even if she doesn't sell anything, if someone comes to buy something, she can at least repay the favor.
Thinking about it this way, I immediately felt relieved and all I could think about was how to cook these cabbages.
Song Lili breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Jin Xia harvest the cabbages.
At least this winter, she'll still have to make several trips to the supply and marketing cooperative. Everyone says that troublemakers are hard to deal with, so Song Lili thinks it's very necessary to cultivate a good relationship with Jin Xia.
When Wang Daming returned in a flurry of activity, Song Lili and Jin Xia were already chatting like old friends.
"Um... by the way, what's your name?" Wang Daming then realized that he didn't even know Song Lili's name.
"My name is Song Lili. You can call me Song Lili or Lili, it's fine."
Wang Daming nodded. "Lili, let's hurry up and get the cabbages ready. The sooner we harvest them, the more at ease you'll be, and the more at ease I'll be too."
Wang Daming pulled Song Lili along, and they practically ran out of the supply and marketing cooperative.
After coming out, I saw an oxcart parked in front of the supply and marketing cooperative, and an old man with a dark red and rough complexion.
Song Lili pointed to the oxcart and asked, "Is this the solution you came up with?"
Wang Daming nodded, "That's right, I couldn't carry back forty or fifty pounds of cabbage by myself..."
Song Lili couldn't help but twitch her lips.
Is this guy an idiot? He actually thought he could carry it himself? He's supposed to be the director of a supply and marketing cooperative, couldn't he at least find a bicycle?
Song Lili had a strong feeling that Wang Daming might not be thinking straight.
However, it wasn't said that as long as Wang Daming wanted cabbage, she should just give him money and not care if he was mentally challenged or not.
The two of them rode in an oxcart and arrived at Hongqi Village in less than twenty minutes.
That's the good thing about Hongqi Village: it's close to the nine towns and also close to the county seat.
It's a half-hour walk to the town, which is the distance from one end of Hongqi Village to the other, separated only by a river.
It takes about an hour to walk to the county seat, or about 40 to 50 minutes by oxcart.
Therefore, Song Yongren and Song Jianshe felt that Song Lili had returned as soon as she left.
