Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Lu Jinan had been secretly glancing at He Xi out of the corner of his eye, and saw the little girl frowning and pursing her lips, looking very conflicted.

Lu Jinan wanted to ask several times, but every time he opened his mouth, he could see her explaining herself the next second.

"That's it." He Xi seemed to have made some important decision, and said in a serious and solemn tone, "It's too ugly. Keep it for yourself. You can't sell it."

The three men in the family picked up the date cakes one by one to look at their appearance and tasted them: "They are not as delicious as the ones made by Xiaoxi."

He's mother and He Fei were so anxious: "What should we do? It's such a waste to keep all these and eat them."

He Xi rejected their idea of ​​selling the date cakes at a low price, as this would affect the market price and also affect He Xi's brand benefits.

The two pastry chefs hung their heads and stepped aside. The remaining date cakes were made by He Xi, who was slightly better in both taste and appearance.

The failed pastry chef was taking notes seriously and discussing in a low voice from time to time.

Three hundred kilograms of date cakes plus the vegetables grown by He Xi can all be sold for money. Today is another collective outing for the four young people.

It’s true that He Xi’s vegetables are growing better and better. He grows whatever vegetables are expensive, such as broccoli, cabbage, peas, and zucchini.

She planned to make money by selling vegetables, and mentioned greenhouse cultivation in passing, which could solve the problem of many people having no livelihood in winter.

You have to have achievements before you can pursue your career.

Common means of transportation in Daxinganling are horse-drawn carriages and ox-drawn carts. They can carry heavy loads, are convenient for climbing hillsides, are easy to turn and have good maneuverability. In comparison, donkey carts are slightly inferior. They cannot carry heavy loads, are clumsy in turning, and take time to climb hills.

The cart drawn by four horses could pull 20,000 kilograms of wood, a weight that He Xi could never imagine. It was such a shocking scene. He's father told her that it would be soon, and it would be time for logging after the heavy snow.

He Xi's small business actually mobilized the main labor force in the family - the horse-drawn carriage.

When loading the things into the car, He Xi still couldn't believe that this tall horse belonged to her family. The main reason was that the horse had always lived in the village office and was also the main fighting force of the village. She didn't even know that it was the private property of He Xi's family.

Finally, two bicycles were also brought out to facilitate free dispersion of activities.

It is already autumn here in August. The cool breeze in the morning is silent, the spacious courtyard is empty, and He's parents have also gone to work.

"How about it, I am handsome, right?" Xiao Yan scratched the hair on his forehead, showing his arrogant eyes and declaring in a bluffing manner that he could drive a carriage.

He Xi and Lu Jinan ignored him and focused on discussing the list of items to be purchased today.

With more people, consumption also increases. We have to start preparing for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, sweaters, trousers, quilts, etc. The night temperature in Daxinganling in September will be close to freezing point, and it will be too late to prepare by then.

The initial materials allocated by each supply and marketing cooperative are limited, and they will be allocated later. If you can't make it in time, you can only wait. People can wait for the solar terms but they can't wait for people.

Today's cycling was easy, probably because of the recent exercise. The daily tasks were completed on time, and there was basically no debt. The items signed in daily were good recently, and she opened some new functions.

……

There were quite a lot of people in the supply and marketing cooperative. He Xi saw the smile on He Fei's face and it seemed that she was having a good chat with Xiao Yan.

The town was mostly made up of single-story buildings, and all the goods were displayed in a spacious and bright room. He Fei and Xiao Yan parked the carriage under a huge willow tree, and she tied up the horses.

The bicycles were locked here as well, and four people began to carry the vegetables. It was the same female staff member who collected vegetables from He Xi last time. She saw that He Xi's vegetables were still as rare as before, and she had an idea in her mind.

The staff greeted him with a smile: "Young comrade, today's vegetables are just as good. Do you want to cooperate with us for a long time? The price is negotiable."

Her decision touched He Xi's heart. He Xi put down the vegetables in her hand, greeted her with the same smile, and replied: "It's true that nothing can be hidden from my sister's eyes. That's what I meant. I plan to..."

He Xi talked to the sister about his ideas. His sister never thought that summer vegetables could be available in winter.

Her eyes were suspicious but trusting: "Is it really possible? Will the cost be too high?"

He Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Artificial land is a negligible cost. Every family has it. There is a lot of wood on the mountain for the frame of the greenhouse, so we won't consider it for now. The main money will be spent on insulation."

The elder sister was curious about how the heat was kept, so she took He Xi's hand and said, "Let's go to my office and tell them in detail. Xiao Zhang, settle the bill with them. The vegetables will cost 5 cents."

He Xi gave a few brief instructions and followed her sister to the office to share her plan. Before they knew it, an hour had passed and He Xi left with a confident smile.

He Xi had a good plan and completely ignored Lu Jinan's existence. He rode his bike silently behind him to keep up with the pace. The rain above his head gradually spread to around He Xi.

He Xi shivered, and suddenly felt a cold current coming. She turned back awkwardly: "What's wrong, Boss? Do you need love again? You really are in need of love."

Lu Jinan glanced at her sideways, then quickly looked away, his thin lips tightly pursed.

He Xi struggled a little, but still came to his side and whispered to him about her plan and her plans for future promotion.

He listened with great interest, nodded in response to He Xi from time to time, and pointed out the loopholes in He Xi's plan.

Xiao Yan and He Fei looked over here, his face full of confusion. Why couldn't he say something at home instead of whispering it here? And also, when did this kid Lu Jinan fall in love with He Xi?

Don't like it? Then why do you keep secretly competing and getting angry?

He Fei's gaze always lingered on Xiao Yan. She kept reminding herself not to be obsessed with him, but she couldn't control her eyes.

As the communication deepened, the corners of Lu Jinan's mouth curled up slightly, and a look of appreciation appeared on his face.

He looked at He Xi steadily: "He Xi, I believe you will not fail."

The black market was closed, but He Xi left the other party's address and brought the other three people to the other party's residence.

Wang Qiang was still immersed in the sales of white flour and refined rice, calculating how much money he could earn this time, when there was a knock on the door.

"Bang bang."

He subconsciously became alert. No one he knew would knock on the door like this. Who could it be? He looked around his house. Everything was put away, so outsiders couldn't see it.

"Who is it? Wait." There was impatience in his voice.

When he opened the door and saw He Xi's face, his expression changed in an instant, and he said in a flattering tone: "Sister is here, what good stuff do you have this time?"

He saw the other three people and a carriage behind He Xi, and a smile immediately spread across his ears. He rubbed his hands and was eager to give it a try.

He Xi's tone was slightly calmer: "Zao Gao, try it first and see if you like it."

When they heard it was date cake, the other party's enthusiasm instantly dropped a lot, and they didn't even bother to cover it up.

"Come in first." He opened the door and let the four people in. "I can't guarantee this kind of thing if it's said in advance. It's too difficult to sell and has a short shelf life."

He Xi's expression remained unchanged: "I know, the shelf life is fifteen days, no problem. As for the taste, you will know after you have tried it. If it doesn't work, I won't force this deal."

Wang Qiang chuckled and said, "Sister is also a straightforward person. Okay, let's give it a try."

It was a bit strenuous for two people to carry a backpack. Lu Jinan stared at the distance the date cake moved with a dazed look. He wondered when did Xiao Yan become so useless?

As the cloth wrapping the date cake was opened, a sweet smell wafted out, attracting the others who were sleeping in the room to come out: "Hmm, what's that smell? Boss, can you smell it?"

Wang Qiang touched his belly awkwardly. He who was disgusted just now turned around and began to protest the previous decision. When he was about to reach out to take the date cake, he felt a little guilty. He looked at his brothers and rolled his eyes: None of them has good sense.

He Xi smiled and said, "I'll get it for you."

He looked at He Xi's teasing eyes, snorted twice, and then started to eat with relish.

The voice was unclear: "Okay, I'll take it all at 1.5 yuan per pound."

He Xi smiled and said, "Okay, they're all yours."

He turned around and asked the other three people to unload the goods. Three hundred kilograms minus the ten kilograms loss, the total cost was four hundred and thirty-five yuan. He could buy whatever was missing at home.
