"Sister Wen, the total is 68 kilograms, and the price is 81.61 yuan." Zhang Tao put down the last basket of red date cakes and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Wen Guan knew what was going on but pretended to be surprised, "That's a lot, Brother Zhang, you take 60 kilograms and I'll take the rest." As he said that, he reached out and prepared to take out some red date cakes.
Zhang Tao refused and stretched out his hand to stop him, "Xiao Wan, I don't think it's too much. I want all the more if you give me more." How can you take back the things that are in your hands? You can't go against the money.
"This... I told them it would only be 50 kilograms, why did they make more?" Wen Wan was happy in her heart, but she complained on her face, "They must have used up all the brown sugar they had in stock."
"I have it... No matter how much you want, I'll give it to you at cost price." Zhang Tao thought it was simple, he actually had brown sugar.
Wen Wan's expression changed from distress to disbelief. "Brother Zhang, brown sugar is hard to come by. I can't even buy much at the supply and marketing cooperative." She was telling the truth. There wasn't much brown sugar left at home.
"Don't worry, although my brown sugar is local brown sugar, its sweetness is almost the same as those sold in the supply and marketing cooperatives." Zhang Tao added.
Seeing that Wen Wan didn't say anything, he made up his mind and lowered his voice, "Xiao Wan, I won't hide it from you. Brown sugar is produced in our village and there is an adequate supply."
Moreover, the method of producing brown sugar was learned by his grandmother, and he can still make the decision in the small workshop in the village.
"Brother Zhang, you can't lie to me. I'm in urgent need of it." Wen Wan emphasized again.
Zhang Tao patted his chest and assured, "Only a bastard would lie. I'm telling the truth. How much brown sugar do you need? I'll take care of it from now on."
"Brother Zhang, we can't do any speculation now. Your brown sugar..." Wen Wan asked tentatively again.
She was beginning to suspect that Zhang Tao was also a profiteer, so she had to be careful in the future.
I remember hearing from my elders that in the early days of reform and opening up, the country took strong measures to crack down on speculators and profiteers, and many people died.
Zhang Tao winked and said with a very sure look: "Don't worry, we are a rural cooperative. The whole village has raised funds together to do this. Nothing will go wrong." His words were full of firmness and confidence.
When Wen Wan heard this, he instantly became interested, but then he calmed down when he remembered something else.
"Brother Zhang, I see you are busy at the stall alone, why don't you ask your sister-in-law to help?" Wen Wan asked tentatively again.
"No sister-in-law, I don't have time to find a wife now. The first thing is to seize the opportunity to make more money." Zhang Tao spread his hands and told the truth.
After confirming the primary information, Wen Wan felt relieved and said with a sweet smile, "Brother Zhang, how old are you this year? I'll keep an eye out for any suitable girls for you."
Zhang Tao was a little embarrassed and showed a rare silly smile on his face.
I thought Wen Wan was a nice person and good-looking, and the friends he knew must be good too.
Then he said seriously: "My home is in Maoergou, not far from Taohua Town. I have five brothers and sisters. I am the youngest. I am 21 years old this year. My parents work in the village.
My third brother is serving in the army in another province, and my brothers and sisters at home have already started their own families..."
"Brother Zhang, you have pretty good conditions in the village. Why doesn't anyone come to introduce you to someone?" Wen Wan gossiped after hearing this.
Zhang Tao looked a little embarrassed, and after a few seconds of hesitation, he said frankly: "My sister introduced two people to me, one of them liked me, but I didn't like the others.
