Chapter 1742: Find a Buyer
After Chen Guang left, Lu Xiaoxiao carried the wine and walked towards home. Maybe because it was the autumn harvest season, she didn't meet anyone on the way, which saved her from some trouble. Otherwise, if people saw the five bottles of Moutai in her hands, who knows what kind of gossip would spread.
After returning home, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the time and found that it was almost six o'clock. She thought that the captain should be back home by now, so she planned to go out to the captain's house and tell him about the sale of the malt sugar.
Then she went to the cowshed to give a bottle of Moutai to the masters. Although she was a little reluctant, she could buy more Moutai if it was gone, and it was absolutely important to respect the elders.
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the captain's house, she saw the captain washing his feet in the yard. She did not interrupt the captain's foot washing, but waited until the captain finished washing his feet before walking up and saying, "Captain, we have found a buyer for the maltose."
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, the captain didn't bother to wipe his feet with a cloth. He just threw the foot cloth aside and asked Lu Xiaoxiao to go into the main room with him.
"Xiaoxiao, can you please tell me what's going on?" The captain walked into the main room and said to Lu Xiaoxiao.
When Lu Xiaoxiao heard the captain's anxious words, she knew that the captain was very anxious at the moment, so she did not sell the lawsuit, but said directly: "Captain, the buyer was found by my elder. I don't know who it is, but the other party is willing to pay eight yuan per kilogram to buy the maltose made in our village."
"Really? It's really eight yuan per pound? Not eighty cents per pound?" The captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao in disbelief.
"Of course it's true."
The captain was so excited when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's affirmative words, and then he said to Lu Xiaoxiao with a trembling voice: "Xiaoxiao, I really don't know what to say. If it weren't for you, our village wouldn't know what to do."
"It's good to be able to help the village, but there is one thing I hope the captain can agree to."
"What's up?"
"I don't want anyone other than you guys to know that I was the one who sold the maltose."
When the captain heard what Lu Xiaoxiao said, he did not agree immediately, because he had promised Lu Xiaoxiao before that he would reward her with 500 work points. If he did not tell others about Lu Xiaoxiao's help in bridge building, then there would be no way to reward Lu Xiaoxiao with those 500 work points.
Seeing the captain's hesitation, Lu Xiaoxiao asked him, "Captain, is there any difficulty?"
"There's no difficulty, but if I don't tell others about your bridge-building, then I won't be able to reward you with the 500 work points I promised you before."
"It's okay. I don't need the work points."
"That's not possible. You helped the village solve a big problem, how can we not give you any reward at all?" said the captain after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said.
If anyone else said they didn't want a reward, he might have just gone with the flow, but the person who said she didn't want a reward was Lu Xiaoxiao, so he couldn't really give her nothing because he was afraid of disappointing Lu Xiaoxiao.
If he disappointed Lu Xiaoxiao, then if anything happened in the village in the future, Lu Xiaoxiao would definitely not help.
"Captain, if you really want to reward me, just give me a few kilograms of maltose." Lu Xiaoxiao said after thinking for a while after hearing the captain's words.
"Okay, I'll do as you said. I'll give you ten kilograms of maltose as a reward."
"Thank you, Captain."
