Chapter 353 Wild Sea Cucumber
The other person walked hurriedly and looked very anxious.
He was walking with his head down and didn't notice her at all. The force of the blow was so strong that he almost knocked Su Xiaoxiao down.
"Comrade, I'm so sorry. I really am so sorry."
The person who bumped into someone was a middle-aged man, who looked to be in his early forties, with dark skin, a circle of blue stubble on his chin, and a haggard expression.
Su Xiaoxiao was about to say it was okay when she noticed something scattered on the ground. It must have been dropped by the man.
When she saw what it was, she was shocked.
It turned out to be a sea cucumber!
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know much about sea cucumbers. After all, although she was a small internet celebrity in modern times, she could only make a living and could not afford such a precious food as sea cucumbers.
Just looking at the appearance of the sea cucumber, I thought it was very good.
When the man saw something fall, he quickly squatted down to pick it up.
Su Xiaoxiao also hurried to help.
The two of them picked up the sea cucumbers on the ground. Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly handed over a handful of them: "Brother, these are your sea cucumbers."
The man waved his hand: "If you don't mind, these are for you. No one wants them anyway, just consider them as compensation for bumping into you just now."
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
This is too generous. These sea cucumbers cost several thousand yuan per pound, and the big brother actually gave them away without hesitation.
Wait, what did big brother just say? No one wants this thing?
Only then did she remember that in that era people did not know the value of sea cucumbers. They were only sold in some coastal areas, and people outside basically did not know much about them.
I heard that many fishermen use this thing to satisfy their hunger, and sometimes they even feed it to pigs if they can’t finish it.
Su Xiaoxiao immediately became excited. If she put such high-quality sea cucumbers on the game store, wouldn’t they sell like hotcakes?
Seeing that the other person was about to leave, she hurriedly called him: "Hey, big brother, don't leave in a hurry. How much are these sea cucumbers? How many pounds do you have on hand?"
Chen Guanghai stopped immediately after hearing this: "Comrade, do you want to buy it?"
Su Xiaoxiao nodded: "Well, my family likes to eat it, so I want to buy some."
Hearing her say that, Chen Guanghai thought she wouldn't want much. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If it's less than ten kilograms, I'll give you ten yuan per kilogram. If it's more than ten kilograms, I'll give you eight yuan per kilogram."
This is too cheap!
For a moment, Su Xiaoxiao even suspected that she had heard it wrong. This was a sea cucumber, and a wild one at that, yet it was so cheap.
As far as he knows, in modern times, such high-quality wild sea cucumbers would cost several thousand yuan per pound, or even tens of thousands of yuan.
This price is equivalent to 800 yuan per kilogram in modern terms, which is extremely cheap.
She immediately became excited: "Brother, how many pounds do you have? I want them all."
When Chen Guanghai heard her say this, he was stunned for a moment. Did he just hallucinate? He actually heard the woman in front of him say that she wanted it all.
Yes, he must have heard it wrong. The sea cucumbers he brought this time weighed more than 100 kilograms, which would cost more than 800 yuan. The annual salary of an ordinary salesperson is not even that much.
This woman doesn't look very old and seems to be just an ordinary salesperson. How could she possibly come up with so much money at once?
He asked uncertainly, "Comrade, I think I heard you wrong just now. How many kilograms did you say you wanted?"
Su Xiaoxiao repeated calmly, "I'll take as many as you bring."
Chen Guanghai: "Comrade, I brought over 100 kilograms... Are you sure you want them all?"
Maybe she said that because she thought he didn't bring enough.
Su Xiaoxiao was very sure: "Brother, I want them all, but I don't have that much cash on me right now. I'll give you a ten-dollar deposit first, and you can come to me at noon for the rest. What do you think?"
She had all her money stored in a small warehouse, and she had no way of taking it out in front of people, so she could only make up an excuse and give it to them at noon.
This time Chen Guanghai was at a loss. He didn't expect that he didn't hear it wrong.
I originally thought that I would be stuck with this batch of sea cucumbers, but I didn’t expect them to be sold out in one go.
He just went to see the person in charge of the department store, but they said they didn't want this stuff. No one here knows about it, no one likes to eat it, and it can't be sold.
What should I do if this female comrade wants so many and ends up with too much?
Although he was very happy to be able to sell it, he couldn't let the other party down. He immediately said, "Comrade, I trust you. Forget the deposit. But, can you eat all these sea cucumbers?"
"This thing tastes just average, and many people don't like it. Why don't you order less? Come back to me when you're done eating it."
Seeing that this big brother was also an honest man, Su Xiaoxiao liked to do business with such people, and immediately said very firmly: "Big brother, my family likes this. Don't worry, I'm not kidding you. If I say I want it all, I want it all."
As he said that, he took out a piece of Zhang Da Tuanjie from his pocket and stuffed it into Chen Guanghai's hand. "Brother, take this money first. We will pay the rest at noon."
The item hadn't been given to her yet, so Chen Guanghai didn't feel comfortable asking for money. He quickly returned the money to her: "Forget the deposit. We don't do this. I'll wait for you at the entrance of the department store at noon."
"Okay, let's make a deal. My name is Su Xiaoxiao and I'm a salesperson at the Second Department Store. What's your name, big brother?"
Su Xiaoxiao was so warm that she looked at her elder brother as if he was her God of Wealth.
Chen Guanghai felt a little embarrassed by her gaze and scratched his head: "My name is Chen Guanghai, you can call me Brother Chen."
"Okay, Brother Chen, let's meet at noon! I have to go to work quickly."
Seeing that it was getting late, Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Guanghai and ran quickly to the department store.
I almost ran into the door and barely made it to work on time.
As she stood at the counter, panting, she met Zhang Yulan's inquiring look.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
No, why is Sister Zhang looking at her like that? Is there something on her face?
Zhang Yulan moved closer to her and asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, what were you talking about with that man selling sea cucumbers just now? Did you buy some sea cucumbers?"
Su Xiaoxiao was too embarrassed to say that she bought it, and she bought a lot.
He just said politely: "Well, I bought a little."
Zhang Yulan asked again: "How much is one pound?"
"Eight yuan a pound."
Su Xiaoxiao told the truth that they had a good relationship with each other, and if Zhang Yulan wanted it, she could give it to her at the purchase price.
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Zhang Yulan's eyes widened: "Xiaoxiao, you are crazy!"
The sudden rise in her voice startled Su Xiaoxiao. Seeing many people looking at her curiously, she quickly lowered her voice: "Sister Zhang, calm down, calm down!"
Zhang Yulan then spoke with a look of dismay, "Look, girl, eight yuan a pound isn't that a steal? I have a distant relative who lives by the sea, and they say that sometimes even pigs won't eat this stuff. You're still paying so much for it, aren't you being ripped off?"
"Hurry up, I'll go ask Director Chen for some leave and go with you to get the money back."
