Chapter 356 is about to be released
"Comrade Chen, I'm sorry, I was delayed by something at work. Are you guys waiting anxiously?"
Su Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from her forehead. She had been running all the way here, and she was sweating even in such a cold weather.
When Chen Guanghai heard her voice, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He hurriedly wanted to stand up, but because he had been squatting for too long, his feet were numb, and he almost fell down as he stood up.
Zhou Jian was quick to support the person and then looked up at the female comrade in front of him.
The girl in front of him looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with fair skin and delicate features. But she looked like a half-grown girl. Could she really take out so much money to buy sea cucumbers?
Could it be that Brother Chen was so desperate to sell goods that he got cheated?
But he didn't dare say this in front of Chen Guanghai, so he could only wait and see what would happen.
He thought to himself, if this girl dared to find various excuses not to pay the full amount, he would definitely not give her all the sea cucumbers.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what he was thinking. Seeing Zhou Jian staring at her, she smiled apologetically at him and said, "I'm really sorry."
Chen Guanghai's legs were numb now, and he waved his hands at Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly: "It's okay, Comrade Su, we're not in a hurry, just come."
When Chen Guanghai saw people, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't have to carry these sea cucumbers back over a long distance.
Su Xiaoxiao was in a hurry and didn't waste time talking to the two of them. She got straight to the point: "Brother Chen, where are the sea cucumbers you brought? Let me check the goods first."
Knowing that it is not easy for these fishermen, as long as the sea cucumbers are of the same quality as the ones she saw today, she will definitely buy them all at the agreed price.
But if her quality is too poor, she can't be the one who gets hurt.
What Chen Guanghai took to the department store today were all samples, and the samples must be of good quality.
Chen Guanghai was very confident about the quality of his batch of sea cucumbers and agreed without hesitation: "No problem, they are all here, Comrade Su, please feel free to take a look."
Only then did Su Xiaoxiao notice that there was a large sack more than one meter thick at the feet of both men, casually placed on the curb.
These two people just threw such a valuable thing to the side of the road. They are really careless.
Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips when she thought about how every sea cucumber is now individually packed in an exquisite gift box.
Zhou Jian took the initiative to step forward and open the sack at his feet, then took a step back and silently observed her actions.
Su Xiaoxiao saw that the person was silent, but from her eyes, as if she was guarding against a thief, she knew that the other party still didn't believe that she could buy so many sea cucumbers at once.
She didn't care. In this day and age, many families' annual income was less than 800 yuan, so it was normal for her to not be able to afford it.
He lowered his head and looked intently at the sea cucumbers in the sack.
To make it easier for her to check, Chen Guanghai placed another sack of sea cucumbers next to it, opened the bag, and placed them side by side.
Su Xiaoxiao took one look and her eyes widened. She thought the sample was of very good quality, but she didn't expect that there were even better ones inside.
Could it be that Brother Chen just randomly grabbed it from the sack while selecting samples? That's too casual!
After carefully examining the sea cucumbers in both sacks, she even reached in and rummaged through them all the way to the bottom. She came to only one conclusion: this time she was really going to be rich.
At eight yuan per pound, she felt it was a bit of a rip-off.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chen Guanghai became a little anxious.
Could it be that Comrade Su didn't like it? Or perhaps he thought the price was too high?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Comrade Su, this is a total of 1108 kilograms. If you want all of it, just give me a total of 800 yuan."
In this way, the actual price per pound is only a little over 7.40 yuan, which is the lowest price he can offer.
Catching, drying and selecting sea cucumbers requires a lot of manpower, and then they have to be transported over long distances. If it were any slower, all their work would be in vain.
But if he were to carry all the sea cucumbers back now, he really wouldn't have the face to do so as so many people in the village were relying on the money for food.
If it really doesn't work, we can consider a lower price... At least it will allow everyone to have money to eat and not starve to death.
Seeing him like this, Zhou Jian beside him tugged at his sleeve anxiously, "Brother Chen, this price can't be any lower..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Xiaoxiao spoke up, "Brother Chen, the price is the eight yuan per catty we agreed on. One hundred and eight catties is eight hundred and sixty-four yuan. In addition, I will give you ten yuan for travel expenses. If you need sea cucumbers of this quality in the future, you can come to me. I will take whatever you want."
What?
For a moment, Chen Guanghai suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.
Comrade Su not only did not lower the price, he also offered to give them travel expenses. This... this...
He pinched Zhou Jian's thigh hard, causing him to cry out in pain: "Brother Chen, why did you pinch me all of a sudden?"
Chen Guanghai's expression was still confused: "Let me see if I'm dreaming."
"Then why don't you pinch your thigh?"
Zhou Jian's tone was somewhat resentful.
Chen Guanghai scratched his hair embarrassedly: "It's not that I'm afraid of pain."
Zhou Jian: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao pulled out a thick stack of big unity notes from her bag. "Brother Chen, please count them. This is 874 yuan. I also need to trouble you. This sea cucumber is too conspicuous here. I need you to help me carry it to the alley next door."
She had observed it when she came here just now. There was a dead end alley next to it, which was just convenient for her to put the things into the small warehouse without being noticed.
Otherwise, carrying such two large bags, not to mention whether she could carry them or not, she would be too conspicuous just walking on the street.
"Okay, okay, no problem."
It was the first time that Chen Guanghai saw so much money. He wiped his hands on his pants, reached out to take it carefully, and started counting it with Zhou Jian, each taking a stack.
Seeing the two men counting money with their fingers covered in saliva in unison, Su Xiaoxiao silently looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable.
The two of them counted the money three times before they figured it out.
After counting, both of them had shaking hands, and they couldn't believe it was true.
"Brothers, if you've finished counting, please help me move the things to the alley next door."
Su Xiaoxiao spoke only after seeing the two of them finish counting.
"Comrade Su, why don't you tell us where you live and we can send it directly to your home. It's too heavy for a woman like you to carry."
Chen Guanghai looked at Su Xiaoxiao with great enthusiasm, as she was their benefactor.
"No, my friend will pick it up for me at the party. Don't delay your train."
"Okay, okay, we'll get it for you."
The two men worked hard to help carry the two sacks of sea cucumbers over, but Chen Guanghai suddenly remembered something: "Comrade Su, do you want to find a place to weigh these sea cucumbers first?"
The two of them were so busy counting their money that they forgot about this matter.
