In the afternoon, Song Ying returned to the educated youth site.
Yi Xiaoqiu came back from work, and just as she stepped into the backyard, she saw Song Ying standing outside her door with a calm face.
Yi Xiaoqiu's heart skipped a beat and he slowed down his pace. Why did Song Ying come back so early today?
Is it that the watermelons are not selling well?
This shouldn't be the case. It's just the beginning of autumn and the heat is still very strong!
It’s so hot today, it would be unfair if watermelons didn’t sell well!
However, Song Ying looked too calm, not at all like someone who had made a fortune selling watermelons.
Yi Xiaoqiu was a little unsure. Could it be that her newly started career was going to fail like this?
It’s not Yi Xiaoqiu’s fault for being pessimistic, it’s just that she is too unlucky.
"Are the watermelons sold out?"
She sounded hopeful, but a little nervous.
Song Ying said calmly, "Yeah."
Yi Xiaoqiu breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, followed by a burst of secret joy.
Her business is now stable.
Song Ying is worthy of being the heroine, her sales ability is really amazing!
Selling 2,000 kilograms of watermelon in one day, that’s amazing!
"Can you take more next time?"
Song Ying asked as she handed the aluminum lunch box to Guo Xiao, "I'll treat you."
This was the braised pork she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative before she came back. She specially put it in a lunch box and brought it back for Yi Xiaoqiu to eat.
"What is it?" Yi Xiaoqiu took the aluminum lunch box without hesitation and opened it. It turned out to be fragrant braised pork.
Looking at the appetizing braised pork, she felt a surge of hunger in her stomach.
“Gurgle…”
“How much watermelon do you want?”
Yi Xiaoqiu's voice and the sound of his intestines rang out at the same time.
Song Ying's mouth twitched. "Eat first! We'll talk after you finish eating."
Yi Xiaoqiu chuckled, "Thanks! The chef at the state-owned restaurant made a great braised pork!"
After working on the farm all day, she was indeed hungry.
In the lunch box, there was a layer of braised pork on top and rice on the bottom. The rice was soaked in oil and looked very appetizing, but one box of rice was not enough for Yi Xiaoqiu.
She is very strong now, and she puts in a lot of effort in doing farm work every day, which consumes a lot of energy.
As for why she didn't grind her teeth to save some energy, Yi Xiaoqiu felt that she was strong enough and it would be okay to do a little more. There was no need to grind her teeth and endure other people's contempt.
Just consider it as a contribution to the country's grain industry.
She also discovered that because of her daily work, even if she ate more, it would only allow her body to return to a healthy level.
She never gains weight.
After realizing this, she no longer felt any psychological burden when eating.
Every day she finished the nutritious meals prepared for her by the housekeeper, and her face was flushed with gluttony.
After finishing the braised pork, Yi Xiaoqiu planned to go to the farm for another meal later.
As for not having enough meat, Yi Xiaoqiu just needed to know it herself. She wouldn't be stupid enough to tell Song Ying about it, otherwise people would think she was thinking she was too stingy!
The braised pork made by the chef of the state-owned restaurant tasted really good. Yi Xiaoqiu finished all the rice and meat in no time.
Seeing that she had almost finished eating, Song Ying spoke up, "I want 20,000 kilograms of watermelon."
Yi Xiaoqiu's greasy mouth opened into an O shape.
How many?
Twenty thousand pounds!
Could it be that Song Ying is looking for a new partner?
I have to say, the truth about Yi Xiaoqiu has been revealed.
Song Ying had no intention of selling watermelons on the black market. She would always find the person in charge of the black market and sell the watermelons directly.
During these two leave periods, she traveled to several nearby communes and negotiated with the head of a black market to order watermelons.
After dividing 20,000 kilograms of watermelon, each person only gets more than 3,000 kilograms, which is not much at all.
Song Ying was still worried that there weren't enough watermelons, so she hadn't even opened her mouth yet!
"Not so much?" Song Ying looked disappointed.
Yi Xiaoqiu shook her head and nodded, the surprise came too quickly, "Yes! When do you want it?"
Song Ying frowned, "Wait two days!"
She was now an educated youth sent to the countryside, so it was impossible for her not to go to the countryside. She could only go to the black market every now and then to make money.
"No problem. I'll take you to the house my uncle rented in a couple of days to pick up the goods."
Song Ying was also straightforward. She reached into her pocket and took out money, ready to give the money for buying watermelon to Yi Xiaoqiu.
Twenty thousand catties of melons, 8 cents per catty, totaling one thousand and one hundred yuan.
Yi Xiaoqiu waved his hand. "I see you're not going to sell all these melons yourself. How about this? I'll talk to my uncle and see if we can reduce the price by a penny or two so you can still make some profit."
This is a long-term business for her, so it's not impossible for her to make some concessions in order to keep the business going.
Watermelons only sell for about 8 cents a pound in the supply and marketing cooperative, and she sells them wholesale for 8 cents. To be honest, it's not cheap.
She took the initiative to lower the price by one or two cents, so that everyone could make a profit and the price of watermelon would drop a little bit, so it wouldn't be too outrageous. She also didn't worry about the watermelon not selling well.
After all, the watermelons on her farm ripen by the hour.
Song Ying raised her eyebrows and put the money away. "Okay, I'll give it to you next time when you get some watermelon."
Shen Ruofei will be back a little later.
Her journey to the county town was smooth, except that Yushan Commune was far from the county town, so she was delayed on the way.
"Xiaoqiu, I want to order 20,000 kilograms of watermelon."
As soon as she entered Yi Xiaoqiu's room, a smile appeared on her face.
It’s so easy to make money on the black market!
She only had to deliver the watermelons to the county town without putting much thought into them, and the watermelons were then divided up by those on the black market.
There were only 2,000 kilograms of watermelons in total, and those black dealers almost fought over the watermelons.
They didn't shake hands and make peace until she promised to send another batch of melons in two days.
Soon, everyone ordered 1,000 kilograms each, 1,000 kilograms each, and 2,000 kilograms each, and the total order was 20,000 kilograms of watermelons.
Shen Ruofei was so happy.
She sold her watermelons to second-hand dealers at one yuan per pound, making a net profit of forty yuan from 2,000 pounds of watermelons.
It’s higher than those people’s monthly salary.
This is only 2,000 kilograms. If it were 20,000 kilograms, it would be 400 yuan, and she would only need to make a trip to the county town.
Shen Ruofei felt that she was one step closer to her goal of buying a house in Beijing.
Yi Xiaoqiu was very calm, "Yes, when do you want it?"
Shen Ruofei grabbed Yi Xiaoqiu's hand and said, "Really? Ask for leave in two days."
Yi Xiaoqiu nodded and said, "I have another good news to tell you."
Shen Ruofei felt that no matter how good the news was, it would not be as good as her making money, but she did not intend to spoil Yi Xiaoqiu's fun, "Tell me what good news you have!"
"My uncle saw that you ordered so many melons, so he might give some to you."
Shen Ruofei's eyes lit up, "Really!"
Yi Xiaoqiu's face was full of meaning. "You'll know in a couple of days."
Shen Ruofei held her hand tightly and said, "Xiao Qiu, let me tell you, this money is too easy to make. You can also sell watermelons with your uncle! Make more money and buy a house in the city soon."
Yi Xiaoqiu shook his head and said, "I'm timid. I can't do this."
She really can't do it. She is now just cannon fodder. She will be met with red armbands when she enters the black market. If she hadn't run fast on the farm last time, she wouldn't know what would happen to her.
For Yi Xiaoqiu, who has died three times, nothing is more important than death.
Shen Ruofei looked disappointed, "Ah! That's such a pity!"
If you are timid, there is really nothing you can do.
