Li Yan smiled and introduced the villagers, "This is the owner of the Qian family. He's here today to buy your sweet potatoes!"
When the villagers heard that they were here to harvest sweet potatoes, they were very happy and warmly invited Li Yan and her group into the village.
Li Yan led people to the door of Patriarch Chen's house.
Clan leader Chen, who had received the news, was already standing in front of his house, welcoming the distinguished guest.
As soon as he saw Li Yan and her group, he immediately went forward to greet them.
Li Yan introduced, "Grandpa Clan Leader, this is the owner of the Qian family in town. We're here to buy the sweet potatoes from your village!"
Patriarch Li said happily, "You have come all this way here, come in and rest at home first!"
The Qian family's shopkeeper, remembering the purpose of his visit today, declined, "Chief Chen, we won't be polite. I wonder how many sweet potatoes the village has now? How many can you sell me?"
After hearing the shopkeeper's question, Clan Leader Chen did a quick calculation and said, "There are seventy-three households in our village. This one family has at least three thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes!"
"How about this, can each of you sell me 2,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes? Of course, if you're willing to sell them all to me, that's fine too!"
When the villagers standing outside the patriarch's house heard these words, they immediately exploded and everyone saw excitement in each other's eyes.
Clan leader Chen recovered from his shock and asked in disbelief, "Are you really charging so much? Do you know the price?"
Shopkeeper Qian thought of the young master's urgent tone yesterday and knew that this matter must be done. After a moment's deliberation, he said, "How about a price of two cents per pound? Do you think it's okay?"
Clan leader Chen looked at the villagers standing in front of his house and asked, "Is this price acceptable to you all?"
Yesterday, the villagers thought that the roasted sweet potato business was completely over, but they didn’t expect that a big customer would come to their door today and take away all the sweet potatoes from their home, and even pay two cents per pound!
The villagers were overjoyed and said they could go home and weigh their goods now!
"Since everyone agrees, let's go back and prepare. The ship that will receive the goods is docked at the dock not far away!"
Upon hearing this, the villagers immediately rushed home. They were extremely excited at this moment. These two thousand kilograms were worth four taels of silver, which was equivalent to their income for half a year!
The fat shopkeeper led people to the dock to collect the goods, while Li Yan and her uncle came to Grandma Zhang's house.
Chun Ya was very happy to see Li Yan and trotted to Li Yan.
Li Yan handed Chun Ya the snacks she brought from town today and said, "Take this and eat it!"
Hearing the noise, Grandma Zhang came out of the room and saw Li Yan, hurriedly pulling people into the house.
Li Yan: "Mother-in-law, I want to buy sweet potatoes from you today. I'll do as the shopkeeper said today and buy them for two cents a pound!"
Granny Zhang quickly waved her hand: "How can I change the price I promised you?"
Li Yan scratched her head and said, "I just said it casually at the time. I can't take advantage of you anyway!"
Li Yan took the opportunity to change the subject and said, "Please go next door and inform my aunt. It would be bad for you two to suffer any loss, right?"
Grandma Zhang had no choice but to go next door and tell this matter to Chen's eldest daughter-in-law!
Chen Da's wife: "He's an honest child!"
Li Yan bought 2,000 kilograms from Grandma Zhang's house and 1,000 kilograms from Chen's eldest daughter-in-law.
Looking at the sweet potatoes piled up like a small mountain, Li Yan said to Lin Feng, "Uncle, how are we going to transport the sweet potatoes from the Qian family back?"
Lin Feng: "On the way here, I heard from the shopkeeper that the young master of the Qian family has chartered several large cargo ships. I think they are probably using them to transport these sweet potatoes!"
