After eating a roasted sweet potato and some fruit, and drinking some hot water, Qin Nian finally felt a substantial meal and her spirits lifted.
Taking advantage of her good mood, Qin Nian immediately started working again.
Here, Wang Da Niang's son arrived and thanked Yang Yu Fen with great excitement.
"If it weren't for your help, Auntie, I would have already decided not to plant this sweet potato next year."
Wang Da Niang's son did hesitate and consider giving up. The crops they grew were not accepted by the people and had no value, so they would naturally be eliminated.
"It's because your sweet potatoes are so good that everyone likes them. People who have tried them remember the taste. Next year, even more people will like them."
Yang Yufen didn't think she had done anything wrong. Besides, she sold the sweet potatoes to others for 13 cents, but her nephew Wang only wanted 6 cents a pound. In the end, she was the one who made the profit.
Of the 15,000 jin of sweet potatoes, after deducting the ones she sold and keeping some for herself, of the remaining 13,000 jin, 10,000 jin were paid at 13 cents each, and 3,000 jin at 15 cents each.
She earned 850 yuan just from selling raw sweet potatoes.
Roasted sweet potatoes are profitable, but she also bought gasoline cans and charcoal. After deducting the costs, she actually earned more than a thousand yuan in seven days.
She had Guixiang cultivate the land for her, and the grain allocated to them each year was enough to feed them. She grew her own vegetables and raised her own chickens, so they didn't need much money throughout the year.
She earned more money in those seven days than she had in the two years since the land was distributed to individual households, which gave her even more confidence.
No wonder so many people are willing to become small vendors.
Wang's nephew wasn't envious of how much Yang Yufen earned; he only knew that his research could continue, and now he wasn't afraid of being ostracized by others. Yes, when he got back, he would apply to the dean for land, and no one could take it from him!
Yang Yufen originally thought that Xiao Zhang and his wife would come back tomorrow, but not long after she returned from delivering food to her daughter-in-law, the security guards told her that someone was looking for her.
Wang Dazhi and Xiao Zhang bumped into each other again at the entrance of the family compound, staring at each other wide-eyed.
"Why are you here instead of selling sweet potatoes?"
"Uncle Wang, you're criticizing me, so what are you doing here?"
"You little brat, you're not planning to steal my sweet potatoes behind my back, are you?"
"Likewise."
The roasted sweet potatoes sold better than they had imagined. With Yang Yufen's example, as soon as they shouted, many curious people gathered around. Hearing that the price was still the same, they all bought some to try, figuring they wouldn't lose out.
They can't be roasted in time, they simply can't be roasted in time. Some people can't wait and want to buy raw ones to roast themselves at home.
Wang Dazhi sells them for 18 cents each, and people are even scrambling to buy them raw; it's unbelievable.
If Wang Dazhi hadn't maintained his rationality and considered long-term development, the sweet potatoes would have been sold out raw.
When Yang Yufen heard that someone wanted sweet potatoes, she simply called her nephew Wang over to save herself the trouble of carrying them back and forth. The two of them went directly with Wang to get the sweet potatoes.
Of course, Yang Yufen took the money first.
When Wang Dazhi learned that the sweet potatoes came from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, he was shocked. No wonder, how could ordinary people like them get their hands on these things?
Those who wanted to find out the price all took it back.
Wang's nephew also suddenly became cunning.
"That's all we have. It probably won't be enough for you to sell. Our Academy of Agricultural Sciences has other varieties of sweet potatoes that taste and have a very good texture. You can sell them together, but you can negotiate the price yourselves."
Try to get some funding for your colleagues too, otherwise they won't have anyone to help them when someone causes trouble for them, and it'll be hard to borrow people when they're weeding.
