Chapter 23: Meeting Two Pillars(1/2)
"Brother Fugui, what you said is that I still can't believe what you brought me?"
Liu Xingeng laughed and said.
Then he reached out and grabbed a handful of peanuts from the donkey cart.
I rubbed the dry mud on it, peeled off the shell and tasted it.
After chewing the peanuts twice, Liu Xingeng's eyes widened and he was a little surprised.
Then 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?"
"good, very good."
“It tastes better than last time.”
"Brother Fugui, Lao Liu, I was deceived a few years ago. I usually don't tell people the truth, let alone take the initiative to raise the price. Today I made an exception."
"It's true that your greenhouse peanuts are really good."
"I'll give you another ten cent increase. I want them all. If you have any peanuts from now on, just bring them to me."
"Is it possible?"
Liu Xingeng stretched out a finger and said with a serious expression.
Chen Ling shook his head, "You get what you pay for. My peanuts are at least three points better than ordinary peanuts, so the minimum price is 30 cents more than the market price!"
"Boss Liu just wants to make a round for just one yuan, but that's not possible."
"The minimum is one dollar per dollar. I will have as much as you want from now on. What do you think, Boss Liu?"
When Liu Xingeng heard this, he frowned and seemed a little embarrassed.
"One yuan a piece, the price is a bit too high..."
In fact, Chen Ling has already tested the amount of oil produced by peanuts.
It's definitely better than regular peanuts.
But it wouldn't be too surprising.
But more important than the amount of oil produced is the taste of the oil extracted 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 vegetables, all the oily soup on the plate was soaked up with steamed buns.
This is also the reason why after he tasted Chen Ling's peanuts today, he was so happy that he was willing to pay the price to one yuan per catty.
After all, yesterday's peanut oil was so fragrant, and today's taste is even better, so how can the oil extracted be any worse?
"Brother Fugui, you also know how small the price difference of peanuts is."
"Nine cents per catty is rare. Others raise their prices by a few cents. I will directly raise it to one yuan per catty for you. Such a price is rare even in the market. You still want me?"
How can I give you a raise..."
"Look, brother, I, a small family with a small business, really can't make money."
Liu Xingeng spread his hands, feeling very embarrassed.
“Can’t it really rise?”
Chen Ling half-smiled but didn't believe it at all.
"Um……"
Liu Xingeng pondered for a moment, "It's not like the price can't rise. I won't make any money at one yuan per catty."
"You want one yuan per catty, and I have to put some money in there."
"Unless you are rich, you will only provide peanuts to my family from now on."
"I'll give you another ten cent increase because of the quality of your peanuts. Let's take a chance."
Chen Ling shook his head: "It's definitely not enough to only provide for your family..."
How could Chen Ling agree to a buyout?
"However, I can assure you that it is available at any time, all year round, and you can get as much as you want."
"How about this guarantee?"
Liu Xingeng was very surprised when he heard this: "Supply at any time all year round? How much do you want?"
Chen Ling nodded, "Well, there are four seasons throughout the year, as much as you want."
"I am a greenhouse farmer, how can I still deceive you?"
Perhaps influenced by his wishes, the newly harvested peanuts only need to go through the interaction between cave heaven and reality to become completely dry, eliminating the need for sun-drying.
It can be said that if Liu Xingeng wanted it, Chen Ling could directly supply it without having to bother to dry it after planting.
Liu Xingeng glanced at Chen Ling, then put his hand into the peanuts on the donkey cart, pushed in hard, and took out a handful of peanuts.
I peeled off the shell and tasted 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 get as much as you want. Brother, I will give it a try."
When Chen Ling heard this, he smiled.
"Okay, how many pounds does Boss Liu want this time?"
Liu Xingeng thought for a while and said: "There are a lot of people asking for peanut oil recently, so let's keep it for now."
"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 at the moment.
I have to go back and plant again.
…
One p.m.
Chen Ling finished delivering five donkey carts of peanuts to Liu Xingeng.
The transaction of three thousand kilograms of peanuts was completed, and thirty-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 unexpected guests came to his house, and it seemed that something was wrong.
Chen Ling didn't stay any longer and went to the county town to find a place to eat.
After leaving the west city, Chen Ling found a good restaurant and ordered a piece of smoked fish, a few side dishes, and two bottles of beer.
There were wine and vegetables, which made the hungry Chen Ling very satisfied and comfortable.
After drinking and eating, Chen Ling saw that the weather was indeed warm enough in the afternoon, so he found a 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 cost 40 yuan. It was a black rod, thick and heavy, with the word "big ghost" engraved on it.
He didn't know if it was the brand name or something else. He didn't ask the boss, so he just tried it and it felt comfortable, so he chose this one.
"Hey, Fugui, you haven't seen me for the past few days, why did you drive the donkey cart here?"
When Chen Ling was driving the donkey cart and playing with the fishing rod, someone suddenly called him, accompanied by the sound of a motorcycle engine.
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 small 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, then smiled and recognized the person in front of him.
The short-haired young man in front of him is Chen Erzhu. Since he does not return to Chen Wangzhuang a few times a month, this is the first time he has met the real owner after traveling through time.
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 permed hair, and a red open-neck sweater, and she was hugging his waist tightly.
Seeing Chen Ling's eyes looking over, the woman even blinked at him ambiguously.
"Little Fugui, I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you look so handsome now?"
