Chapter 71 It’s Not Like I Haven’t Read It
Lu Huaye felt very upset. This grown man really had no opinion of his own.
So he said to Su Heng, "Come with me, I'll show you the samples."
The two followed them to a warehouse and waited for Lu Huaye to go in and take out a few samples.
The specifications and sizes are all the same, small bottles of more than 300 ml.
One of the jars is round and the other is angular. Su Heng chose the round jar.
"Uncle Lu, we want a lot. Can you make the price cheaper?" Su Heng asked.
Lu Huaye said straightforwardly, "Since it was the old man who brought you here, I won't overcharge you. I'll just charge you ten cents each."
Su Heng smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, if this batch isn't enough, we might ask you for a larger batch. We really want it. How about nine cents?"
Lu Huaye took a deep breath and said, "You are such a ruthless bargainer, nine cents is too low."
Su Heng sighed softly, "There's nothing I can do. I don't have enough money. Uncle Lu, small profits but quick turnover is the key, isn't it?"
Su Heng was also testing the waters. It seemed that Director Lu really wanted to get rid of this batch of goods. He probably had too much inventory.
Otherwise, the old man might not be able to help with that half bag of peaches.
Lu Huaye thought about it, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay, but you have to guarantee to get 500 pieces. You can come in batches, but I will sell it at least 500 pieces."
Five hundred is a bit much, but the price is really affordable.
"Okay, then we'll take five hundred."
So many goods could not be shipped all at once, so a few people decided to pay first and then pick up the goods in several batches.
Glass jars must be shipped in cartons, otherwise they may break.
Lu Mingchuan first packed a small box and took Su Heng back, then he rode his empty bike to transport the cans. It took him two more trips to bring all the cans back.
Su Heng cleaned up the space at home where the canned food would be stored, and the west room was cleaned carefully.
Some dusty tools were cleaned one by one to ensure that no dust would fall off.
After cleaning the entire house, Su Heng placed the jars on the large long table and found some clean old sheets to prepare.
When you want to dry the cans, just spread the sheet on the ground and let them dry directly on the ground.
The next day, the two of them started going to the mountain to carry back peaches.
Picking and transporting, Su Heng couldn't carry the basket, so she carried a backpack with Lu Mingchuan, and carried a small basket in her hand, trying to transport as much as possible in each trip.
Although Lu Mingchuan asked her to just stay at home and make canned food, she couldn't bear to let him do the hard work alone.
Su Heng felt that she and Lu Mingchuan had been treated like cattle and horses these past two days.
It is not easy to make quick money, especially since their business is almost cost-free.
Just be tired. Money is so valuable these days. Think about the still cheap courtyard houses and the undeveloped real estate in various places.
Su Heng suddenly had the motivation to save money again!
In the afternoon, after returning from the third load of peaches, Su Heng sat on a small bench under the shade of a tree and caught her breath.
There was already a large pile of peaches in the yard. Su Heng looked at them and said:
"Let's pick them here today and finish this batch of peaches before picking them again. Otherwise, they will easily rot if they are piled up at home."
Lu Mingchuan nodded: "Then I'll go boil some water first."
"Let's take a break before going."
"Let's rest for a while. It will take a while for the hot water to cool down." Lu Mingchuan said as he was about to go into the kitchen.
Seeing that he was also sweating profusely, Su Heng went to the clothesline to get their towels and brought them over: "Wash your face before going."
The well water was icy cold, and when I applied it on my face, my head, which had been dizzy from the heat, instantly became a little clearer.
The next step is to wash the peaches, peel them, cut them into pieces and remove the cores. I am busy with each step until late at night.
Su Heng just made a bowl of noodles, and the two of them ate and went to rest.
The next day the same work was repeated.
After working hard for three or four days, the cans in the house gradually piled up into a small mountain, and the five hundred cans were finally finished.
However, there are still a small number of peaches left in the valley that have not been picked.
The peach peels that were peeled these days were piled up in the compost heap not far outside the yard, and there was quite a pile of them.
Others fed the chicks and ducklings, which pecked at the food with great enthusiasm.
The two geese had grown fatter. When Su Heng went to feed them, they stretched their necks and bit her sleeves.
"I must eat goose stewed in an iron pot during the Chinese New Year!" Su Heng walked to the front yard and said to Lu Mingchuan angrily.
"Well, I'll catch the geese then." Lu Mingchuan was sweeping the yard with a bamboo broom.
As he spoke, he rubbed his shoulder with one hand and frowned slightly, which was not very obvious, but Su Heng noticed it.
Thinking of the days he had been carrying the shoulder pole, Su Heng walked up to him and asked, "Are your shoulders scratched?"
Lu Mingchuan paused, hummed softly, and then said, "I've already applied the medicine."
Su Heng frowned: "Why didn't you tell me when it was worn out? Let me see."
If it was worn out a few days ago and you carry a shoulder pole every day afterwards, applying medicine will be of no use.
"No need, it will be healed in a few days." Lu Mingchuan's wound was broken open again due to the force after applying medicine, and it looked quite tragic. He didn't want Su Heng to blame herself for it.
Who knew Su Heng misunderstood: "Why are you being so shy? It's just a shoulder. It's not like I haven't seen it before."
Lu Mingchuan was startled, then sighed softly: "The wound has scabbed over, it's a bit ugly, I was afraid it would scare you."
Su Heng: "What's the big deal? Am I some fragile baby? Are you going to take it off or not? If you do, I can apply medicine on you."
"Okay." Lu Mingchuan had no choice but to put down the broom and follow Su Heng into the house.
It's been very sunny these days working outside, so both of us are wearing long sleeves.
It was covered very tightly, but his slender fingers slowly unbuttoned the buttons, and the scene somehow became charming.
Su Heng looked away somewhat unnaturally, and Lu Mingchuan noticed it, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
He was wearing a white vest under his long sleeves. Su Heng suspected that he had wholesaled a box of vests. A white vest was an indispensable piece of clothing hung out to dry in the yard every day.
When the outer long sleeves were taken off, the black and red scabby wounds on the shoulders became particularly glaring.
Especially his skin is white, like a flaw in a beautiful jade, which makes people feel particularly sorry.
Su Heng couldn't help but frown. This was definitely not a new wound. "It's so serious, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's okay." He said that Su Heng might ask someone else to pick peaches because he was injured.
This was the first time he and Su Heng were doing something together, and he didn't want anyone else to get involved.
Who knew that Su Heng would give him a cold look, even though she had clearly told him that she would use her supernatural powers.
Now it’s better, there’s no hardship.
"Lower your shoulders." Su Heng raised her hands with difficulty.
Lu Mingchuan did as he was told, and then he felt the cool ointment on the wound, but it was different from before.
It was like an invisible and gentle breeze blowing across the wound, so subtle that he felt the pain in the wound being relieved immediately.
Lu Mingchuan was stunned. Yes, this is a plant monster.
But using it on such a small wound would be a waste of energy.
