Chapter 54 Low-Price Food
Shen Ruoqing went to the county town again. The grain prices in the county town had increased a little.
She first went to the scrap yard, found the old janitor, and settled this month's wages. The janitor collected a lot of junk, but there were some genuine items mixed in. No matter what, this business was a sure win. Shen Ruoqing, according to the previous method, collected all the junk into the space.
"You've done a good job during this period. I'll give you this bottle of oil. It's freshly squeezed and very fresh." Shen Ruoqing casually gave the gatekeeper a bottle of oil, which made the old man very happy.
"Xiao Liu, I knew you must have a lot of these in-demand items. Don't worry, I will definitely do the job for you."
Shen Ruoqing nodded. She also believed that the old gatekeeper would do a good job in this high-paying part-time job.
The only thing left was to sell the oil. Shen Ruoqing bought a lot of oil bottles in the system mall and packed the oil into small oil bottles. She squeezed more than 1,600 kilograms of oil and sold all of it to Brother Biao for more than 2,000 yuan.
"Brother Xiaoliu, do you have any food left? You don't know that the New Year is almost here and every household wants to buy some fine grains." Brother Biao said.
"I still have some grain, but it's all cornmeal and some coarse grains. You can decide if you want them. I'm selling them at a low price, and I hope you can sell them at a lower price too." Shen Ruoqing said. She knew that selling fine grains would make money, but the harvest was not good this year, so she should sell more coarse grains to those who couldn't afford to eat, and it would also be a good deed for herself.
"Yes, yes, yes. Who wouldn't want food now? Coarse grains are fine."
Shen Ruoqing traded several thousand kilograms of cornmeal and some coarse grains and earned more than two thousand yuan.
Shen Ruoqing turned around and left.

"Brother Dazhu, thank you. With these grains, our family will be saved." Liu Xinyi blushed as she thanked a dark and strong man. "Thank you for selling me these low-priced grains. I will never forget your kindness."
The man named Dazhu smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, and patted Liu Xinyi's hand: "Xinyi sister, you can't thank me verbally. This is the low-priced grain that our boss got through a special channel. You can't get such low-priced grain anywhere else. I gave you all cornmeal, and now cornmeal is sold for 1.5 yuan per catty. Do you think your brother loves you?"
"If Brother Dazhu needs anything in the future, I will be happy to help. It's getting late, I have to go back quickly, otherwise my family will worry." Liu Xinyi pulled her hand back calmly.
"Okay, okay, it's late at night. You're a girl, so please be careful when walking at night." Dazhu said reluctantly.
After saying goodbye to Dazhu, Liu Xinyi dragged two large bags of grain in batches to the place where she would meet Sun Taohua.
"Liu Xinyi, you are amazing. You can actually get so much cheap food. Where did you get the information about the cheap food?"
"Stop talking nonsense. You don't have to worry about those things. I have my own channels. Hurry up and help me load them onto the cart. There are 100 kilograms of grain here." Liu Xinyi shouted.
Sun Taohua immediately stepped forward to help.
"I'm telling you, no one is allowed to tell anyone about this, or we'll both be eating peanuts."
"I know, I know. We will get rich if we sell these." Sun Taohua immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
"It's hidden. I'll go get the food, and you'll be responsible for selling it in the villages. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me. But if you're careful, nothing will happen."
Sun Taohua knew that Liu Xinyi was taking all the risks on herself, and she was a little unhappy: "There is so much food, I can't sell it all by myself in a short time, why don't we sell it together."
"Why do you change your mind? It's agreed that you will sell it. If you don't want to sell it, just leave. I won't share the grain with you. Without money and grain, do you think Lin Chen will even look at you again? Food is in short supply now. Even though there are 100 kilograms of grain here, if you want to sell it, it will sell very quickly. We sell it for 1.4 yuan per kilogram, and there will be many people who want to buy it. When the profit is made, I will take 70% and you will take 30%. This is all agreed. With money and grain, are you still afraid that Shen Ruoqing will snatch it from you?"
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Now city workers only earn more than 30 yuan a month. If I sell all of this, even if I only get 30%, I will still get more than 10 yuan, which is equivalent to half a month's salary for city workers. This is much more profitable than selling herbs myself.
Sun Taohua also knew that these had been agreed upon beforehand. She was also a brave person and she just wanted to test whether Liu Xinyi would give in.
"Follow me, you will definitely get some benefits." Liu Xinyi was actually sad to give Sun Taohua the dozen yuan, but she was more afraid of taking risks. So she still had to share the money.
However, the grain sold better than they had imagined and was sold out in just a few days. Taking advantage of this momentum, Liu Xinyi made several more purchases.

Mu Bai rode his bicycle back. His bicycle ticket had been exchanged. He assembled this bicycle himself using parts from a scrap yard. Although it was a little worn out, it was still rideable and quite good.
"Mu Zhiqing, I sprained my ankle, can you give me a ride?"
Mu Bai stopped his bicycle and saw that it was a female comrade he had never seen before in the village. How could he know that she was from the village even though he had never seen her before? Because only the villagers could call her an educated youth.
Mu Bai was a little hesitant. He didn't want to get too close to the female comrades in the village, but he couldn't just ignore the fact that this female comrade had sprained her foot.

"Mu Zhiqing, if it's troublesome, please help me pass a message to my family. My home is the third house to the left of the village party secretary's house." The female classmate said pitifully.
"Come up, it's on our way." Mu Bai finally agreed.
"Thank you, Mu Zhiqing. My name is Liu Xinyi. You are such a good person."
Liu Xinyi? Why does this name sound familiar?
"Mu Zhiqing, are you still exchanging for fine grains? To thank you, I still have ten kilograms of cornmeal at home that can be exchanged. Do you still need it?" Liu Xinyi asked.
"Yes, thank you. How would you like to change it?"
"Let's just change it the way the village does. I should thank Mu Zhiqing for taking me home."
"Wait, let me take you to see your foot first. Comrade Shen Ruoqing in the village is very good at medicine. Let her take a look at your foot. It should heal quickly."
Hearing Shen Ruoqing's name, Liu Xinyi's face turned pale: "No need, my foot is just a common sprain, I can go home and apply some medicine myself. Besides, I guess my cousin is not very willing to check my feet."
"Why? Is Comrade Shen Ruoqing your cousin? Comrade Shen is very helpful, I believe she will be happy to help you." Mu Bai was a little puzzled.
