Eating big melon is so refreshing

Chapter 158: Buying Loquats in Bulk

Xiao Qiulin saw through the fat sister's thoughts at a glance. She couldn't hide the secret on her face. She wanted to eat alone secretly, but it was impossible!

He still gave some face to the fat sister in front of others. Coincidentally, the exchange window of the space system popped up the urgently needed items and loquats were there. Xiao Qiulin nodded and said to Meng Haoran, "Brother Meng, please contact the village chief. I want 2 catties of loquats. One catty costs three cents. You can ask for money or food."

Meng Haoran's younger cousin Meng Jixiang had just arrived at the door. When he heard Xiao Qiulin talking, he shouted, "I run fast," and ran towards the village chief's house like the wind. His speed was comparable to that of a sprinter.

Village chief Meng's home is in the village. At this moment, he is sitting under the loquat tree in the yard, looking at the golden loquats. There is no happiness on his face but instead he is worried.

The price of grain in the county has risen, and the villagers are panicking because they have no food. Seeing that the great catastrophe of the millennium is about to come, he is so worried that he can't sleep.

Meng Jixiang ran into the yard breathlessly and shouted at the top of his voice, "Uncle village head, the classmates brought by Brother Hao want to buy 20,000 kilograms of loquats from our village!"

When Village Chief Meng heard this, he felt as if he had been electrocuted. His eyes immediately lit up and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be smoothed out at this moment.

He stood up and stretched his arms, and felt the dull pain in his waist disappear instantly. He felt his whole body was filled with strength, and he could run three miles in one breath!

"Really? That's great, that's great!" The village chief exclaimed, his voice full of surprise and excitement. "Where is he? I'm going to meet him in person!"

"It's at Brother Hao's house." As soon as Jixiang finished speaking, he saw the village chief running out of the house with light and powerful steps. It seemed that the village chief was holding a cane yesterday. He must be dazzled!

"Village chief? How can he run so fast?"

"Something good must have happened. I saw the village chief's face smiling. He seemed to be ten years younger."

"Shall we go and take a look?"

Many people followed the village chief and ran behind him. A 30-year-old man like me could not run faster than an old man who was almost 60 years old. It was really due to lack of exercise!

Village chief Meng was full of hope. He knew what this opportunity meant to the village. If the 20,000 kilograms of loquats could be successfully sold, it would not only solve the villagers' urgent needs, but also bring a considerable amount of income to the village and improve everyone's living conditions.

"Twenty thousand kilograms of loquats and two thousand kilograms of loquat leaves."

Xiao Qiulin said, "It's either medium, medium, medium or medium. The price for well-done is three and a half cents per pound."

"Who are you selling it to?"

"Many people in Zhaojia Village like to eat loquats. Hundreds of kilograms are not enough for them to consume." Xiao Qiulin said, "We can also sell loquats in our shop. It's a bit monotonous to always sell ice drinks and sugar water."

"When did our family open a shop in town? How come I didn't know about it?" Xiao Chunya looked surprised. "Didn't you say you were busy as hell? It seems I'm the only one busy?"

Xiao Qiulin felt a little guilty and said, "My father and I are also very busy, but my mother and the third and fourth aunts are free and have nothing to do now, so we opened the dessert shop."

Luo Xiaopang patted his chest and said very righteously, "Xiao Chunzi, I will help you when I get back."

"What a fat guy!"

"Village chief, hurry up and ask people to pick loquats. We also want loquat leaves. The price is one cent per pound lower." Xiao Qiulin said, "If there are not enough loquats in the village, we can pick some from the next village, but I need to check the goods first."

"Of course you can." Village Chief Meng shouted, "You all heard what the young master said. Go pick loquats quickly and tell everyone in the house to come out and work."

Mengjia Village suddenly became bustling with activity, with every household going out to pick loquats. A pound of loquats cost three cents, and a pound of loquat leaves cost one cent. The goods did not need to be sent out of the village; they could be traded within the village.

Lin Shaoxuan and Meng Haoran also became busy, one counting and the other keeping accounts. After they had collected over a thousand kilograms of rice, the Xingchen Courier appeared. He brought bags of rice and took away baskets of loquats.

The villagers don't want money, they just want food. The price of rice outside has risen to five cents per pound, but in the village it is only four and a half cents per pound. Only fools would choose to trade in the village.

"Village Chief Meng, notify the neighboring village chief to prepare. Increase the loquat leaves by 5,000 kilograms. Purchase large quantities of radix scutellariae, mulberry bark, platycodon grandiflorum, and menthol."

Xiao Qiulin looked at the pop-up message with a somewhat stunned expression, and said to the fat sister, "The one who took the order was Master Mingyue, what's going on?"

"Colds and coughs are spreading in the capital, what else could it be?"

"No, I didn't see who took the order before." Xiao Qiulin whispered to the fat sister.

The functions of my system have been upgraded. Let me see if your system has been upgraded as well. "

"Quack, it hibernates in winter and summer, it's really an ancestor." Xiao Chunya snorted, "Haven't you seen that there hasn't been a single melon to break for me in a few days?"

Wow! The melon-eating system is so unique.

"Wait, is he selling loquats to the emperor? Can the price be increased a little?" Xiao Chunya came back to her senses. The emperor was very rich, so he should not care about such a small amount of money.

"You bargained with the emperor?" Zhao Erlang's voice trembled a little, he couldn't believe his ears. The emperor was the supreme being, who dared to compete with him? Not to mention bargaining. But his fat daughter didn't seem to realize this, which was really a death sentence.

Xiao Chunya looked back at him, a smile on her lips, "Father, don't worry, I know my limits. The emperor wants to eat loquats, which means these loquats are unique. Moreover, for the emperor, an extra penny is really not much money, but for the villagers, it is a well-deserved reward."

Village Chief Meng was about to leave, but was shocked by Xiao Chunya's words and almost fell to the ground. He showed a confident expression on his face, thinking to himself, "This little girl is really not simple. She dared to negotiate the price with the emperor and even asked for a price increase? This is unprecedented."

In fact, these people have never been to the imperial capital, and they don't know that the price of fruit in the imperial capital is ten or eight times more expensive than that in local areas. Not to mention a one-cent increase per pound, even if the price doubles, it is still a great bargain.

Soon the price was set: five cents per pound of loquat, and one cent per pound of loquat leaves. The fruit was sold in the capital, and the leaves were purchased elsewhere.

Every household in Mengjia Village sold 70% to 80% of their fruits and exchanged them for baskets of rice, and everyone was smiling from ear to ear.

"We still need 5500 kilograms of loquats and kilograms of loquat leaves." Xiao Qiulin said, "Let's go to the next village to buy them. The village chief asked us to dig out the stones at the entrance of the village. Someone is buying them for two cents per kilogram."

"How much do you want?" Village Chief Meng thought Xiaoqiu was paying for the road repairs, so he said carefully, "Two cents a pound, isn't that too high? In fact, one cent a pound is also fine."
