Chapter 193 - Was it a gift from some girl?
Although the vegetables were priced three to four times higher than the market price, they were still profitable because of their high quality.
"No need to go for lunch. I have things to do this afternoon. After I finish settling the accounts here, I have to go do other things," Su Niannian refused.
She's going to accompany her husband and sister for a stroll later.
Old Qian felt that Su Niannian was so capable that she should indeed have a lot of things to do. Su Niannian could get three hundred yuan a day from Lu Hongliang's side.
That's three hundred yuan a day!
It's clear that Su Niannian is very capable, as she's involved in large-scale business deals.
I can understand not having time to eat by myself.
He couldn't force anything.
"Then I'll start calculating!" Old Qian said, squatting down on the ground and starting to do the calculations.
"Three thousand catties each of rice and wheat. That's a total of six thousand catties. At five mao per catty, that's three thousand yuan."
"Sorghum costs 30 cents a pound, so 2,000 pounds would cost 600 yuan."
"Two thousand catties of corn, at 18 cents per catty, that's three hundred and sixty yuan."
"Three hundred catties each of green peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and green beans, at three mao per catty, that's three hundred and sixty yuan."
"There are 800 jin of potatoes and 800 jin of sweet potatoes, which is 3 mao per jin, so that's 480 yuan."
After some calculations...
"Four thousand eight hundred yuan..."
"Wow, that's a lot!" Old Qian was very happy and not worried about giving Su Niannian more than four thousand yuan.
Because he would earn even more by reselling these items.
He only brought 4,500 yuan with him when he came out today.
He thought he had enough money. After all, he hadn't even brought two thousand yuan in the last transaction, and today he brought more than twice that amount, yet it still wasn't enough.
Old Qian looked at Lü Hongliang, who was eating cucumbers to the side.
"Hey bro, come here for a second." Old Qian gestured for Lü Hongliang to come over.
"What's wrong?" Lü Hongliang took a bite of cucumber and went straight over.
Old Qian explained the situation to Lü Hongliang and asked Lü Hongliang to give him three hundred yuan first.
Lü Hongliang said no problem, he just didn't have the money with him and had to go back to get it.
"Why would I need you to go back and get it?" Old Qian sighed.
Su Niannian's hearing is now very sensitive. Although the two were speaking in hushed tones, Su Niannian still heard quite a bit.
"You can send the missing 300 yuan to Brother Lü whenever it's convenient for you. I'll give it to you next time I deliver the seasonings," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Old Qian rubbed his head and then handed over the four thousand five hundred yuan he was carrying to Su Niannian.
This is a thick stack of 450 ten-yuan bills.
Su Niannian smiled happily when she saw so much money, took it, and started counting it.
After counting the money and confirming that there were no problems, Su Niannian put the money away.
“Then I’ll send the missing three hundred yuan to Lü Hongliang tomorrow,” Lao Qian said to Su Niannian.
Su Niannian nodded, indicating that she understood.
Old Qian's young men were still moving things; this truck simply couldn't carry everything away in one trip.
Su Niannian checked the time; she didn't want to wait here for them to make two trips.
"Brother Lü, after they finish moving their things, you can just lock my gate." Su Niannian handed the lock to Lü Hongliang.
Of course, he was only given the lock; he wasn't given the key.
This lock is the old-fashioned kind, with a silver semi-circular ring on top and a metal clip at the bottom.
The kind that can be locked without a key.
Lu Hongliang took the lock and nodded to Su Niannian.
"Little Su, go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll make sure to lock the yard for you," Lü Hongliang assured her.
Su Niannian smiled and greeted Lao Qian again.
Su Niannian simply slung her empty basket over her shoulder and rode off on her bicycle.
After Su Niannian left, Lao Qian patted Lü Hongliang's chest with the back of his hand.
"You little rascal, you've used up all your luck in this life by meeting Little Su, haven't you?" Old Qian was a little jealous of Lü Hongliang.
I'm so lucky to have met such a talented girl.
"Hmm, good luck!" Lu Hongliang muttered as he tossed the cucumber's bottom aside after taking the last bite of the cucumber.
"I wonder what kind of power this girl has behind her, to be so generous," Old Qian said.
A worker carrying a box of cucumbers passed by Lao Qian, and Lao Qian casually grabbed two cucumbers.
I plan to eat one myself and give one to Lü Hongliang.
As a result, Lü Hongliang simply waved his hand.
"I want to eat a tomato!" With that, Lü Hongliang went to get a tomato.
Old Qian didn't care, after all, he wouldn't have this business if it weren't for Lü Hongliang.
Let him eat as much as he wants.
Old Qian casually wiped the cucumber on his body and took a bite.
The crisp and refreshing cucumber spreads throughout my mouth; it's absolutely delicious.
"Tell me, they're both cucumbers, but Miss Su's cucumbers taste so much better," Old Qian said casually.
As a result, Lu Hongliang had just taken a bite of the tomato and hadn't even swallowed it when he hurriedly added a comment.
"We're both human, why are you so ugly?" As soon as Lü Hongliang finished speaking, Lao Qian kicked Lü Hongliang in the butt.
"You can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth!" Old Qian joked with a laugh.
"You can spew ivory from your mouth!" Lü Hongliang replied, swallowing the tomato.
These two have known each other for a long time in the black market and are quite familiar with each other.
They're good friends! They have a really good relationship!
On the other side, after leaving the rented house, Su Niannian went straight to the state-run restaurant.
Since it was already noon, Su Niannian was worried that Gu Nan and Gu Ningning would get anxious from waiting too long.
So the pedals were moving incredibly fast!
Sure enough, when Su Niannian arrived at the state-run restaurant, Gu Nan was already waiting inside with Gu Ningning.
When Gu Nan saw Su Niannian appear at the restaurant entrance, he quickly took a few steps to greet her.
Even though they had only been apart for a short while, Gu Nan already missed Su Niannian terribly.
When Gu Nan saw the thin layer of sweat on Su Niannian's forehead, he knew that Su Niannian had rushed over and was sweating because she was riding her bicycle too fast.
I couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.
He took out a pretty handkerchief from his pocket and used it to wipe Su Niannian's sweat.
"Oh my god, did some young girl give you this?" Su Niannian looked at the handkerchief in front of her. It was exquisite and beautiful, obviously expensive, and very new.
She said it jokingly, of course she knew it couldn't have been a gift from some young girl.
"You guessed right." Gu Nan replied with a smile.
As a result, Su Niannian's face immediately fell.
"Seriously? You just got married, and you're already saying this?" Su Niannian said, feigning anger.
Of course she knew Gu Nan was teasing her; Su Niannian wasn't stupid.
"I'm just kidding. Ningning said it looked nice and asked me to buy it for you. And look, it's actually come in handy," Gu Nan said gently.
