Chapter 23 Meeting Erzhu
“Brother, what you said, I still can’t believe what you brought here?”
Liu Xingeng laughed and said.
But even though he said this, he still grabbed a handful of peanuts from the donkey cart.
After rubbing the dry mud on it, peel off the shell and taste it.
After chewing the peanuts twice, Liu Xingeng frowned and was a little surprised.
I couldn’t help but peel off two more peanuts and threw them into my mouth.
Chen Ling laughed when he saw this, "How are these peanuts, Boss Liu?"
"Okay, very good."
"Better than last time. Delicious.”
"Brother, I was cheated by people in the past two years. I usually don't tell people the truth, let alone take the initiative to raise prices. Today is an exception."
"You are really good at peanuts in greenhouses. It seems that it is still possible to grow peanuts in winter, and they taste better than in spring and summer."
"I will give you another five cents, and I will take them all. If you have any peanuts, you can buy them from me."< br>
“Is it possible?”
Liu Xingeng stretched out a finger and said with a serious expression.
In this day and age, grain and oil come in bulk and go out in bulk.
For example, three thousand kilograms of peanuts are pressed for oil.
The oil is distributed to department stores, supply and marketing cooperatives, grain and oil stores, village sales agencies, etc.
Some weigh more than a few hundred kilograms, and some less weigh several dozen kilograms.
They are all sold in bulk.
There are no individual bottles, nor are they packaged and labeled, and sold in pots of ten or twenty kilograms.
They all carry oil cans to get oil.
So if the food price difference is calculated in cents, the price difference of oil-extracting cash crops, such as peanuts and soybeans, is calculated in gross.
The lowest price increase is five cents, equivalent to 0.50 cents, then one cent, two cents.
So Chen Ling shook his head when he heard this, "You get what you pay for. If my peanuts are graded by graders, they will be at least two grades better than ordinary peanuts. Brother, just do it." Give me a five cent increase? This is a bit too low.”
"Is this still low? Then what price do you think is appropriate?" Liu Xingeng asked.
"Another two cents increase, one yuan per catty. I will have as much as you want from now on, how about it?"
When Liu Xingeng heard this, he frowned, "Every catty One dollar a piece, this price is a bit too high, you can't find anything at this price in the county..."
In fact, Chen Ling has already tested the amount of oil produced by peanuts.
It is indeed better than ordinary peanuts.
But it wouldn't be too surprising.
But more important than the amount of oil produced is the taste of the oil squeezed from Chen Ling’s peanuts.
Much more fragrant than ordinary peanuts.
This morning, their family used this oil to stir-fry vegetables.
Good guy, that smells good...
Not to mention the dishes, all the oily soup on the plate was soaked up with steamed buns.
This is why after he tasted Chen Ling's peanuts today, he happily gave him a five-cent increase.
After all, yesterday’s peanut oil was so fragrant, and today’s taste is even better, so how can the extracted oil be any worse?
“Brother Fugui, you also know how small the price difference of peanuts is.”
“It’s only 9 cents a pound, and other people’s price increases are just a few cents. I will directly increase it to one yuan per catty for you. Such a price is rarely seen in the market. How do you want me to increase it for you..."
"Look, brother, I, a small family with a small business, really can't make money."
Liu Xingeng spread his hands, feeling very embarrassed.
"How many cents and cents? Brother, you are not kind. The smallest difference in the price of this oil-pressing thing is five cents. Where do you get those cents and cents?"
Chen Ling smiled. Not smiling.
There is a saying: if there is no difference in food, there will be no difference in oil.
This means that the profits of the three major staple foods are always one or two cents, which is five cents more, while the profit of oil-extracting crops can be as low as a few cents.
"This...brother, you are quite expert."
"How about this..."
Liu Xingeng pondered for a moment, "It's not like it won't rise. "Move, I don't have much money to make from one yuan per catty."
"If you want one yuan per catty, I have to add money in."
"Unless you are a rich man, you will only provide peanuts to my family in the future."
"I will give you another 20 cents increase based on the quality of your peanuts. Give it a try."
Chen Ling shook his head: "It's definitely not possible to just supply your family..."
How could Chen Ling agree to a buyout?
“However, I can assure you that it will be available at any time, all year round, as much as you want.”
"How about this guarantee?"
Liu Xingeng was surprised when he heard this: "Supply at any time all year round? How many more do you want?"
Chen Ling nodded, "Well, one year There are as many seasons as you want.”
“I am a greenhouse farmer, can I still lie to you?”
Affected by his wishes, the newly harvested peanuts only need to go through the cave and reality. The interaction can speed up the drying process overnight and make it completely dry, thus eliminating the need for drying in the outside.
It can be said that if Liu Xingeng wants it, Chen Ling can directly supply it after planting and harvesting without having to spend time drying it.
"Besides, Boss Liu, we all deliver the goods first and then pay you. If the goods are not to your liking, the business will not be done, right?" When Liu Xingeng heard this, he glanced at Chen Ling and said, He put his hand into the peanuts on the donkey cart, pushed inside hard, and took out a handful of peanuts.
Peel the shell and taste it again.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, one piece at a time."
"As for the quality of these peanuts, brother, you can have as much as you want. Brother, I will give it a try."
When Chen Ling heard this, he smiled.
"Okay, how many kilograms does Boss Liu want this time?"
Liu Xingeng thought for a moment and said, "There are quite a few people asking for peanut oil recently, so let's keep it for three thousand kilograms."
“Okay, let’s unload this truck first, and then I’ll pull it for you.”
Chen Ling nodded.
Three thousand kilograms is just enough, any more will be gone now.
Have to go back and plant again.
……
One o’clock in the afternoon.
Chen Ling finished delivering five donkey carts of peanuts to Liu Xingeng.
The transaction of three thousand kilograms of peanuts was completed, and three thousand three hundred yuan was obtained.
There are also two jars of goat milk bought from Liu Xingeng’s house in the cave.
There are also two pots of oil given by Liu Xingeng, squeezed from yesterday's cart of peanuts.
After putting the things on the donkey cart, Chen Ling sat on it and raised his whip.
"Let's go, donkey, let's go eat."
Liu Xingeng originally left a meal at noon, but a guest came to his house unexpectedly, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Chen Ling didn't want to stay any longer and went to the county town to find a place to eat.
After leaving the west city area, Chen Ling found a good restaurant, drank two ounces of wine, cut some pork liver, and pulled strips in a bowl.
With wine and vegetables, the hungry Chen Ling was very satisfied and satisfied.
After drinking and eating, Chen Ling saw that the weather was indeed warm enough in the afternoon, so he found a department store, bought a fishing rod, and prepared to go fishing on the river beach in the south of the county.
“The quality of things from this era is really hard.”
Chen Ling touched the fishing rod and praised it.
The fishing rod he bought is a black rod, thick and heavy.
He didn’t know what brand it was, and he didn’t ask the boss, so he just tried it and it felt easy to hold, so he chose this one.
"Hey, Fugui, I haven't seen you for the past few days, why are you driving the donkey cart?"
When Chen Ling was driving the donkey cart and playing with the fishing rod, someone suddenly called him, and at the same time, someone on a motorcycle came with him. The sound of the car engine came.
Chen Ling looked up and saw a man in his thirties, wearing a light yellow leather jacket, with curved eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a short haircut, riding on a Jialing motorcycle.
After seeing him, he parked his motorcycle on the side of the road not far from him and smiled at him with squinted eyes.
"Hey, it's Erzhu? What are you doing here?"
Chen Ling was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, recognizing the person in front of him.
The short-haired young man in front of him is Chen Erzhu. Since he does not go back to Chen Wangzhuang a few times a month, this is the first time he sees the real owner after waking up from a coma.
After saying hello to Chen Erzhu, Chen Ling noticed that there was a woman on the back seat of Chen Erzhu's motorcycle. She was wearing heavy makeup, long curly hair, and was wearing a red open-collar sweater. She hugged him tightly. Holding his waist.
Seeing Chen Ling look over, the woman even blinked at him ambiguously.
“Little Fugui, I haven’t seen you for a few days, but you look a lot handsomer now.”
Chen Ling then remembered that this person was also an acquaintance.
She is Chen Erzhu's best friend. She runs a freight company in the county town and is a rich woman.
My name is Sun Yanhong, and everyone calls her Sister Hong.
This sister Hong has an amazing brother, who is a prominent figure in the county.
He is also one of Chen Erzhu's backers.
After he was released from prison, Chen Erzhu also relied on this relationship to enter the county sand quarry, and he has been prospering in recent years.
"Sister Hong has become even more beautiful after not seeing her for a few days."
Chen Ling smiled against her will.
I secretly scolded Mr. Ge, it's really disgusting for an old woman to still flirt with men at such an old age.
Unexpectedly, Sun Yanhong didn't know that Chen Ling was slandering her. She was very helpful after hearing his words and even gave him a wink.
"Little Fugui is really good at talking."
Chen Erzhu also laughed, and then he said with a hint of showing off: "I'm taking Sister Hong to a dance. What are you doing in the county? Why are you catching up with the donkey?" Is there a car?”
“If I’m not mistaken, it belongs to Uncle Wu’s family, right?”
Chen Ling nodded and asked to borrow the donkey cart to pull something in the county.
"Hey, you are not authentic. Why do you use a donkey cart when you come to the city to pull things..."
"Ask your brother to arrange it for you. Isn't any of Sister Hong's cars better than your donkey cart?"
Chen Erzhu shouted loudly, without concealing the showoff in his tone, for fear that others would not know. He seems to be very capable now.
Chen Ling smiled and said a few polite words, saying that he was just doing some small things and there was no need to bother Sister Hong or anything like that.
Chen Erzhu pretended to be displeased and blamed him for seeing someone else, and then said: "I haven't seen you for a few days. I just said that I would come back to the village to find you in two days. I happened to meet you today. I will let you know in advance. . ”
“The construction of my greenhouse will begin in two days. You have nothing to do at home, so come and help me.”
