Li Gang just glanced at the dry goods casually, and as for the pickles in the jar, he pinched a pickle and put it in his mouth to taste it, nodding in surprise.
"I won't talk about the dry goods, but I didn't expect the pickles to taste so good. It's almost the New Year, and there are no vegetables in the supply and marketing cooperative. They will definitely sell well if I take them out now..."
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Then I'll ask Weiguo to deliver it to you tomorrow?"
Li Gang thought for a moment and said, "Forget tomorrow, why not send a batch today?"
Chu Tian had no objection, "That's fine..."
"Well, let's not send it to the regimental headquarters. How about this? You can ask Brother Weiguo to send it to the intersection leading to the city, five miles away from your company?"
Li Gangxin said that he wanted to send a batch to the black market in Urumqi to test the waters first. If Sun Weiguo sent the pickles to the regiment headquarters, he would have to get them to Urumqi again. It would be troublesome to go back and forth...
"Okay, but I can't go back right now. I brought my three children with me today. I plan to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and then have lunch at the state-owned restaurant before going back!"
After hearing what Li Gang said, Chu Tian realized that he wanted to bring pickles to the city. He didn't take it seriously at the moment. He positioned himself as a wholesaler, and Li Gang as a distributor. So, where he sold the products and how much he sold them for was none of his business!
Li Gang nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, "I want this dry stuff too. By the way, what is this earth candy you mentioned just now?"
Chu Tian explained with a smile, "It's from Sichuan Province. The villagers make sugar from the juice of their own sugarcane. It's actually brown sugar, but it's not as good-looking as the ones sold at the supply and marketing cooperatives. It comes in blocks."
"How many?"
"More than a thousand pounds, right?"
"So many? Then bring me some tomorrow..."
"OK···"
"What's the price?"
The dry goods and brown sugar were basically bought at super low prices. The price Chu Tian sold to Li Gang was ten times higher for the dry goods and three times higher for the brown sugar.
He thought Li Gang would think it was too expensive, but unexpectedly Li Gang did not think it was expensive, but cheap, and kept asking him not to sell it at a loss. Chu Tian felt both amused and helpless when he heard this, thinking that if he knew how much he paid for it, he would definitely not think it was cheap anymore, and might even think he was a profiteer...
The pickles were not expensive, only thirty cents per pound. However, because the pickles were stored in jars, which cost money, Chu Tian sold them to Li Gang at one dollar and twenty cents per pound. Although the profit was not as high as that of dried goods and sugar, Chu Tian was still very satisfied. After all, he did not need to go to the black market to sell them himself...
He roughly calculated that just from the things he collected from Sichuan Province, after deducting the cost, he could earn at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan. If he also sold the pickles from Beijing...
Wow, I feel so happy just thinking about it...
I'm happy to earn tens of thousands of yuan after a few months of traveling. But I don't know how much it will cost to buy a courtyard house in Beijing when I can buy a house. I also don't know if the money I earned this time is enough to buy a courtyard house in Beijing.
Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s not enough. He still has money anyway, and he can continue to make money by reselling supplies in the next few years.
At this time, someone knocked on the door and Li Gang spoke.
"Come in."
Xu Fei walked in with Xinxin and the other two. Xinxin and Pingping hurriedly greeted Li Gang.
"Uncle Li Gang..."
"Uncle Li Gang..."
Li Gang smiled and said "Hey" and waved, "Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."
Xinxin walked in holding Pingping and Lele, and stood aside obediently.
Lele didn't know Li Gang. She saw Chu Tian sitting inside, stole a glance at Li Gang, and then broke free from Xinxin's hand. She ran to Chu Tian with her short legs, lay on his legs, and urged him in a baby voice, "Daddy, let's go..."
Chu Tian smiled and picked up Lele, saying to her, "Lele, this is Uncle Li Gang, hurry up and say hello..."
Lele turned her head to look at Li Gang, and seeing that Li Gang smiled at her gently, she blinked and called out obediently, "Hello, uncle..."
Li Gang quickly said, "Hello."
As he spoke, he glanced at the graceful Xinxin and the well-behaved Lele in Chu Tian's arms. His eyes flashed with envy, and his tone was filled with undisguised admiration. "Brother Chu, you don't know how much I envy you for having two daughters. They look so well-behaved!"
"Nothing like those three naughty boys in my family, each one is more mischievous than the other!"
Chu Tian lowered his head and kissed Lele on the cheek, then smiled at Li Gang, "Are you envious? If you are, then ask your sister-in-law to give birth to another child for you! Who knows, the next one might be a daughter!"
Li Gang waved his hands quickly after hearing this, "Forget it, forget it, I'm afraid the next one will be a son..."
"It might not be a girl!"
"You also said that it's not certain! That means there's still a 50% chance that it's a son!"
"You don't know. I'm afraid to go home now. As soon as I get home, those three kids make a lot of noise and give me a headache, especially the youngest one. He's the youngest and the most noisy."
Seeing Li Gang's frightened expression, Chu Tian couldn't help laughing. He chatted with him for a few more words, then looked at Xu Fei who was whispering with Pingping beside him, and after thinking for a while, he asked.
"Xu Fei, how old are you this year?"
Xu Fei raised his head and looked at Chu Tian, "After the Chinese New Year, you will be 22."
Chu Tian exclaimed, "You're already 22? I remember when I first met you, you were only fourteen or fifteen, right? Time flies..."
"Are you dating?"
Xu Fei blushed upon hearing this and said uncomfortably, "Not yet. Who would be interested in my conditions..."
Chu Tian disagreed. "What's wrong with your conditions? Any girl with a clear mind would want to find someone like you. You have a job, good looks, and a good temper. Even though you don't have a father or a mother, it means there won't be any conflicts between you and your mother-in-law in the future."
"Besides, after we get married, we can immediately be the head of the household. How wonderful is that!"
What a joke! If this condition were offered in the next few decades, I wonder how many people would like it!
He remembered watching a joke at that time, in which someone said that the best conditions were to have a car and a house and both parents were dead. It didn’t sound very nice, but some people agreed with it while others also criticized it. The vast majority of those who agreed were married women. What does this indicate?
If you think about it carefully, you will understand...
Li Gang nodded in agreement and said, "Xiao Fei, your brother Chu is right, you have good conditions!"
Xu Fei scratched his head and said hesitantly, "Even if you and Brother Chu are right, no girl is interested in me..."
Chu Tian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? No one introduced you?"
Xu Fei shook his head. "A couple of years ago, a colleague at the grain station introduced me to someone, but I thought I was still young at the time, so I didn't agree... No one has introduced me to someone in the past two years..."
Chu Tian, "..."
Li Gang clapped his hands on the table in delight, "Xiao Fei, it seems you now feel that you are not young anymore and can get married and have children?"
"I····"
