The ice cream, with its rich creamy flavor, melts in your mouth, and one bite instantly cools you down.
"This ice cream was a gift from a wealthy customer!" Chen Cheng explained as he ate.
Worried that the extreme heat would melt the ice cream, the three of them remained silent and quietly ate their ice cream.
After finishing a cup of ice cream, Xu Lai was still a little unsatisfied.
Xu Lai made up her mind. When she got home later tonight, she was determined to try making some ice cream!
After finishing the ice cream, Chen Cheng couldn't wait to bring up the fruit in Xu Lai's hand.
"Hey girl, when are you planning to sell that fruit? I'll definitely give you a good price!"
Hearing his boss's words, Hei Zi also stared at Xu Lai with his big eyes wide open.
Sensing the tension between the two, Xu Lai herself also felt a little nervous.
Chen Cheng is a middleman who has made a huge fortune in this resale business. Even he is so nervous about the fruit in her hands, so the fruit must be really valuable.
When money was mentioned, Xu Lai thought of another plan that she had been considering for a long time.
She also wants to buy a van with air conditioning.
With such extreme temperatures these days, even though I try to go out in the early morning or late evening when the temperature is slightly lower, it's still unbearably hot to sit on an electric tricycle.
If there were a car with air conditioning, people would be much more comfortable.
Xu Lai had her reasons for deciding to buy the van.
First, the car was too eye-catching; at that time, people who could afford to drive a car were either rich or powerful.
If she were to drive a car around the neighborhood, it would definitely attract a lot of attention, which would bring unnecessary trouble to her and her family.
So one of their cars has been kept in the storage space and hasn't been used.
Secondly, the van has a large capacity, which can seat more people and carry more things. In case the environment suddenly changes, the van can also serve as a temporary place for them to stay.
But at that time, not to mention minivans, even bicycles and electric bikes were ridiculously expensive, let alone minivans.
Xu Lai was worried that she wouldn't have enough money to buy a van. If the fruit in her space was really that valuable, wouldn't that alleviate the problem?
Thinking of this, Xu Lai looked at Chen Cheng very solicitously and said, "Brother Chen, your little sister is thinking of buying a used minivan, but I'm short of money right now. By the way, can those fruits really fetch a high price?"
Xu Lai didn't expect the few hundred kilograms of fruit in her space to be enough to buy a used minivan, but she would sell as much as she could for a little more money!
"Of course it can fetch a high price! Don't you trust your brother Chen?"
"About how many can we sell?" The two, who addressed each other as brother and sister, exchanged questions back and forth.
"Let's take watermelons as an example. Two top-quality watermelons can definitely sell for that price!"
Chen Cheng held up one finger to Xu Lai.
"One hundred work points?"
Xu Lai looked at the other party's raised finger and guessed that if that was the case, the price was not bad.
After all, it would take an ordinary worker ten days of backbreaking work to earn 100 work points.
"Girl, can't you be a little more ambitious!"
Chen Cheng replied somewhat irritably to the girl's answer.
"Could two watermelons really sell for a thousand work points? That's impossible! A thousand work points are worth ten grams of gold!"
Xu Lai looked incredulous.
"To spend more than three months' salary on two watermelons, what kind of sucker would be willing to eat watermelons like that?"
"Girl, you're so funny!"
Chen Cheng couldn't stop laughing at the girl's humorous remarks.
"Girl, right now, you're probably the only place in the entire City C where you can find watermelons. Do you think two watermelons are worth a thousand work points? I guarantee you, even if it's a thousand work points for two watermelons, there are plenty of rich people who would want to buy them!"
Xu Lai also knew that the spending habits of the wealthy were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
Some people have so much wealth that they could never spend it all even if they didn't work for several lifetimes.
If you have enough wealth, spending ten grams of gold to buy two refreshing and thirst-quenching watermelons is really nothing!
Since these fruits are so valuable, selling them would be enough for her to buy a used minivan.
Xu Lai wasn't one to mince words, so she said directly to Chen Cheng, "Brother Chen, I'll bring these fruits here for you first thing tomorrow morning. But I need to ask you for another favor. Could you please help me see if you can get me a van? After I sell these fruits, I'd like to buy a van, even a used one!"
These two transactions amounted to two big deals, and Chen Cheng was so happy he couldn't stop grinning from ear to ear.
"Okay, I'll definitely get this done for you!"
Although this man was talkative, Xu Lai knew from their previous conversations that he was quite reliable. Since he had patted his chest and guaranteed the matter, he would definitely be able to handle it well.
Therefore, Xu Lai was quite relieved and prepared to leave.
"Hey girl, don't you want the plaster powder you asked me to get?"
Upon hearing the words "plaster powder," Xu Lai immediately slapped his head and said, "Thank you for reminding me, Brother Chen. I almost forgot about that!"
Chen Cheng had already instructed Hei Zi to take a cloth bag containing plaster powder from the driver's seat.
"Thanks!"
Xu Lai took the half-bag of plaster powder, which was quite handy, from Hei Zi. It weighed about five or six pounds.
"Brother Chen, how much is this plaster powder?" Xu Lai asked happily. After paying, she would go home and have her second uncle make tofu.
