Lin Siya started a shopping spree, buying mangoes, bananas, coconuts, mangosteens... She bought all the fruits that could be bought in this night market. When she heard the announcement in the system, she was even more delighted. Now she had complete fruit freedom.
She was having fun shopping, and the three men behind her were exhausted. Each of them had a lot of fruit in his hands.
After returning to the hotel, Lin Siya asked the front desk for plates and fruit knives and began to cut the fruit platter.
“Come and try it, the fruits here are really delicious.”
Lin Siya was the first to eat a piece of mango. It was fragrant and sweet, and it was really delicious.
Several people also started eating fruits. Many of them were fruits they had never eaten before and they were trying them for the first time today.
The fruits here are different from those in the north. Maybe it’s because of the weather or the sunshine, the fruits here are sweeter.
Especially for fruits like lychees, it is basically difficult to transport them to the north. Otherwise, there would not be the eternal quatrain "A horse gallops through the red dust, making the concubine smile, but no one knows it is the lychees coming."
Even with the development of transportation as it is today, fruits like lychees are still very difficult to preserve. Therefore, in the north, the most common fruits are apples and pears. In addition, fruits like bananas can be picked before they are ripe and then shipped to the north, but the price is definitely not comparable to that in the place of origin, and generally only powerful people can eat them.
"It's really delicious. Why don't we have these fruits over there?" Chen Dong ate so much that he couldn't even lift his head.
"These fruits are local specialties. They are not grown here." Lin Siya tasted every kind of fruit. They all tasted very good, especially the lychees, which were really sweet.
"If these fruits can be shipped to our place, they will definitely be very popular." Fang Cheng thought of this immediately when he saw so many fruits. In their black market, fruits are the most popular, but they are often out of stock. Fruits from the south are even rarer.
"Oh, you really have a wild idea. Everyone knows these fruits are delicious, but how do we transport them back? The weather is so hot now, I'm afraid they will rot on the way before they reach us." Chen Cheng directly poured a basin of cold water on him.
"That's true."
After hearing their words, Lin Siya had another idea.
These fruits are relatively delicate. The current road conditions are bad, making it very difficult to transport them back. There are also no refrigerated trucks, so they will definitely rot on the way.
But she is different. She has a universal space. Her space is like a fresh-keeping warehouse. Fresh fruits are stored in it, and no matter when they are taken out, they look like they have just been picked.
Now is the season of fruit harvest, and the prices are extremely cheap. For example, the pile of fruits they bought today are basically a few cents per pound. Some are even cheaper, only a few cents per pound, and the cheaper ones are sold directly in piles.
Since my space is so big, I can put more fresh fruits in it and then sell them secretly. I'm afraid I can really make a fortune.
Although I signed in a lot of fruits at each stall when I signed in just now, which added up to more than 1,000 kilograms, this amount of fruit is only enough for myself, my relatives and friends to eat, and it is not enough to buy more.
It’s a pity that I am with Fu Sinian and others all day long and have no chance to act alone. It seems that I have to find a time to act alone.
The next day, after the four of them had breakfast, Lin Siya asked Chen Dong and Fang Cheng to go shopping on their own, while she and Fu Sinian went to the place they had agreed to meet with the middleman.
Fu Sinian had told her last night that if she wanted to buy a house here, she had to find a middleman. After all, they were not from here and did not understand the local dialect, so it might not be so smooth.
So they found a connection and successfully got in touch with a middleman, and today this middleman took them to see the house.
Lin Siya didn't know how Fu Sinian got involved in this matter, and she didn't ask. As long as the matter could be done, it was fine.
The middleman's surname was Wang. He was a thin local man in his 30s. He spoke Beijing dialect with a heavy accent, which sounded a bit awkward.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two followed the middleman to their destination.
After half an hour of bumpy ride, they finally arrived. After getting off the car, Lin Siya was stunned when she saw the building in front of her. Seeing the dilapidated village in front of her, Lin Siya was unable to react for a while.
"You two, this is our first house. Although it's a bit far from the city center, the houses there are small, and most people won't sell them. But it's different here. These are all self-built houses, and each family has a large area. The one I'm showing you today happens to be a wealthy family..."
The middleman began to chatter about the house. It turned out that the house belonged to an old man. There were five houses in the old man's house that were all connected together. The eldest son had only one son, who now worked in Shanghai.
The old man thought about selling the house here and then going to Shanghai to live with his son.
The asking price for the house is not expensive, 400 yuan per room, and a total of 2,000 yuan for five rooms.
Lin Siya took out the map that had been prepared long ago and looked at the location of the village according to the middleman's instructions.
You don't know until you see it. I was so happy when I saw it. This place is great. Although it looks shabby now, when the economy opens up, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy five houses for 2,000 yuan. I'm afraid you won't even be able to buy one house for 2,000 yuan. If you don't act now, when will you?
"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's go and take a look first." Lin Siya pulled Fu Sinian and followed the middleman into the dilapidated little village.
I walked inside for about a few minutes and finally stopped in front of a shabby-looking house.
"Uncle Zhao, is Uncle Zhao home?"
The middleman knocked on the door of the house, but there was no response. He knocked again and finally heard a voice.
"Who is it? Here I come."
An old man speaking in the local dialect opened the door and first looked at Fu Sinian and Lin Siya with a wary look. Seeing this, the middleman hurriedly spoke to the old man in the local dialect.
Although Lin Siya could not speak the local language, she had watched many Hong Kong movies before and particularly liked Cantonese songs, so she was able to understand the general content by guessing.
The middleman mainly communicated with the old man and said that the two of them came to look at the house.
When the old man heard that they were there to buy a house, he finally let down his guard and invited them in.
