110. Selling grain (5)

The money consisted of ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan, one yuan, fifty cents, twenty cents, and one cent, in small, miscellaneous amounts. Su Jinru first categorized them and then counted them.

Her fingers were fair and slender, and her movements were practiced.

Yuan Wenjie and his cousin watched quietly from the side.

The count is complete, just right.

Clearly, the other party trusted her a lot. She said there were five tons of potatoes, and they accepted that it was five tons without even weighing them.

But she carefully counted the money.

Su Jinru took out a small rubber band, tied the money up, and returned the bag to Yuan Wenjie.

"Alright, the money and goods are settled."

Yuan Wenjie nodded to her.

"Can you still get any food?"

"You only have one car, right? You can't fit any more in."

"There's only one car this time, I can come back in a few days."

Although Su Jinru could provide 400 tons of grain at any time, she couldn't readily agree.

At this time, food was quite difficult to obtain. If she agreed too readily, it would arouse suspicion from others, and showing uncertainty would be the normal reaction.

"I'm not sure if we can get any more grain. Give me your contact information, preferably a phone number that I can reach, so I can let you know if I make any progress."

Su Jinru guessed that the other party's identity must be extraordinary; such a person must have a phone number that could be contacted.

Sure enough, he took out a pen and then a cigarette case from his pocket, writing a string of numbers on the cigarette case.

"Once you've secured the food, make this call and then schedule a time."

Su Jinru: "Okay, regardless of whether I can get the food or not, I will definitely call you at 1 p.m. on Thursday to give you an answer."

"Okay, it's a deal!"

Yuan Wenjie and his cousin left, planning to drive back to Ning City overnight.

Yuan Wenjie said they had been out for half a month, and their families were worried and they had to go back quickly.

Besides, many people are still hungry! Going back sooner will allow us to save more lives.

It was getting late, so Su Jinru had no choice but to stay overnight.

Luckily, she had blankets and other things in her space, so she could take them out, spread them out, and go to sleep.

Recalling what had just happened, Su Jinru felt a little scared.

She was a vulnerable woman alone at night facing two strange men. What if they had ill intentions and didn't want to give her the five thousand yuan? They might kill her to silence her. Wouldn't she die a very unjust death?

Five thousand yuan is not a small amount.

However, the information Su Jinru revealed to the other party was that she might still have food.

If the other party is a smart person, they won't do something short-sighted like killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Therefore, Su Jinru would not take out all of her food at once.

All the grain, excluding ten tons of sweet potatoes and more than three thousand kilograms of rice, she has four hundred tons of potatoes alone, which is worth four hundred thousand yuan. The larger the amount, the more dangerous it is for her.

Therefore, they could only take out five tons of grain to sell each time.

Of course, based on Su Jinru's life experience of being over ninety years old in her previous life, Yuan Wenjie doesn't seem like a bad person.

She just didn't dare to challenge human nature, just in case.

Su Jinru is now an employee of the county agricultural technology station. After more than a year of planting, the farmers have mastered the techniques for planting sweet potatoes and potatoes, so she no longer needs to go down to the fields to provide guidance every day.

So she can also work at the agricultural technology station.

She plans that starting next week, he will work at the agricultural technology station from Thursday to Saturday, and at Daben Township from Monday to Wednesday.

The next morning, Su Jinru went to the agricultural technology station and communicated with the leaders, who then agreed to her request.

Not only did Su Jinru develop high-yield and early-maturing products, but she was also exceptionally humble and low-key. When she went down to guide the villagers in planting, she was serious and patient. The people at the agricultural technology station all liked her and were willing to get close to her. Therefore, no matter what requests Su Jinru made, the leaders would agree.

Moreover, Su Jinru said she wanted to get a plot of land in the experimental fields of the agricultural technology station to study how to increase potato yield.

Su Jinru's potatoes in the space have reached a yield of 10,000 jin per mu, but in reality, the yield is only over 8,000 jin per mu.

Conducting experiments to increase yield per acre is naturally a desirable thing for the leaders of the agricultural technology station.

The leader readily agreed, and in order to support her in conducting experiments, he also considered that Su Jinru had nowhere to live in the county and allocated her a small apartment in the unit. Although it was just a tenement building, it was quite convenient for Su Jinru. She had food in her space; all she needed was a place to live.

She didn't want anyone to know that she rented a big house in the county town, and even less did she want anyone to know that she sold at least five tons of potatoes from her rented house every week.

She didn't want to sell so much grain, and if others knew she had so much money in her pocket, would she still dare to live alone in that empty house?

On Thursday at noon, Su Jinru went to the post office, and at one o'clock, she got through to that phone number.

The other party answered the phone as soon as it connected.

It was Yuan Wenjie; he had clearly been waiting on the other side for quite some time.

"This time we managed to get another five tons of potatoes, at the same price as last time, and it was cash on delivery."

"You'd better arrive before 5 p.m. tomorrow. It's not safe to keep so much food at home."

"Then I'll leave this afternoon, arrive at the guesthouse tonight, and pick up the goods at your house before eight o'clock tomorrow morning, is that alright?"

"Okay, I hope you can come on time. If you come early or late, I may have other things to do and it will be difficult to contact you then."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

This time, Yuan Wenjie and his cousin arrived at eight o'clock in the morning. A little over an hour later, after they finished unloading the goods, Yuan Wenjie threw a large bag of money at Su Jinru.

This time, he sorted the money into categories and bundled them up, so he could just count it directly.

Yuan Wenjie also brought Su Jinru some cloth coupons, oil coupons, and other similar coupons.

He said it was a gift from a friend and she didn't need to pay for it.

Su Jinru went inside, put the money and various tickets into her spatial storage, and then took out some cooked sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as eggs and fruit, packing them into a large bag for them to eat on the road.

Yuan Wenjie's eyes lit up.

"You actually have eggs and fruit?"

Su Jinru: "It's not a lot, I'm keeping it for myself."

Could you get me some rice?

"Next time! It's not a large quantity, at most two hundred catties."

Su Jinru still has more than 3,000 catties of rice in her space, but she doesn't plan to sell it all for the time being. After all, she is currently growing potatoes in her space, and she needs to keep the rice for herself and for unforeseen circumstances.

"Okay, two hundred catties is fine."

Su Jinru: "I'll call you at 1 p.m. on Thursday."

"Could you bring more this time? I can call another truck to haul it up."

"No, this house can only hold five tons of goods at a time."
