Chapter 244 Don’t forget the well digger
When Lao Qian heard that Su Niannian wanted to conduct a normal transaction, he was overjoyed.
Thinking that as long as his connection with Su Niannian remained intact, even if Su Niannian was disappointed by Lü Hongliang's handling of the matter and the two would not continue to cooperate in the future, he could still bring Lü Hongliang into his side.
Anyway, Lü Hongliang has made a lot of money recently. After so many years of being brothers, Lao Qian doesn't mind giving Lü Hongliang a hand.
Brothers and friends should always support each other.
Without Lü Hongliang's introduction, Lao Qian wouldn't have made so much money.
Old Qian understood the saying, "When you drink water, don't forget the well-digger."
Old Qian helped Su Niannian by pushing her bicycle to the intersection and then placing it on his truck.
Just like last time, after Su Niannian finished her transaction with Lao Qian, she could ride her bicycle away immediately.
Then you won't need to come back to Lü Hongliang's house to get your bicycle.
"Little Su, you get in the car and wait a bit. I'll go lock up Lu Hongliang's gate." After saying this to Su Niannian, Lao Qian jogged off to lock the gate for Lu Hongliang.
Su Niannian got directly into Lao Qian's truck.
Before long, Lao Qian locked the gate to Lü Hongliang's house. The lock is usually hung on the gate.
No key is needed to lock it.
After Lao Qian got in the car, he asked Su Niannian if they should pick up the goods at the same place again.
Su Niannian nodded.
Old Qian was quite familiar with the area, so he had his men drive towards the courtyard that Su Niannian had rented.
Soon, the truck stopped outside the yard where Su Niannian was.
Su Niannian took out her key, opened the courtyard gate, and asked Lao Qian and his men to wait there while she went in to take a look.
Old Qian obediently waited in the yard and had his men bring over Su Niannian's bicycle, the weighing scale, paper, pens, and other supplies.
Old Qian was still carrying a bag, which was filled with nothing but large bills, not a single penny.
Not only that, this time Lao Qian also got Su Niannian a lot of tickets.
Thinking back to their first transaction, when Su Niannian bought tickets with Lao Qian, Lao Qian prepared a lot of tickets as a gift for her this time.
Old Qian waited in the courtyard. After a few minutes, Su Niannian came out of the room.
"I've checked the items, there's nothing wrong with them. You can send someone in to move them," Su Niannian said to Lao Qian as she came out.
Old Qian nodded in response with a smile on his face.
Then he ordered his men to go in and move the items out of the rooms.
One of Lao Qian's underlings stood by the scale, carefully recording the items and their weight.
There were quite a few things this time, similar to last time, so even though Lao Qian's men were quick and efficient, it still took them a while to move them.
Su Niannian casually grabbed two small stools from the yard and sat down with Lao Qian to wait for the items to be weighed.
"Little Su," Old Qian said to Su Niannian.
"What's up?"
"I see that what you've provided me is mostly grains and vegetables. I wonder if you have any fruits or anything?" Old Qian asked Su Niannian, rubbing his hands together.
Su Niannian's food is really amazing. The cucumbers and tomatoes taste even better than fruit. If Su Niannian had any fruit with her, it would probably taste even better.
Fruit is already quite expensive at this time of year, so if Lao Qian could get some high-quality fruit from Su Niannian, he could probably make even more money.
Upon hearing this, Su Niannian thought of the fruit trees in the space, which had already grown and blossomed, and figured that it wouldn't be long before they bore fruit. So she spoke to Lao Qian.
"Let's wait a while," Su Niannian said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Lao Qian thought, "There's a chance!" and smiled as well.
"I'll definitely give Xiao Su a good price when the time comes." Old Qian was very good at dealing with people.
It was also to build a good relationship with Su Niannian. Otherwise, if Su Niannian abandoned his side and sought cooperation with someone else, Lao Qian would probably regret it to death.
Finally, everything over there had been weighed, and the young man in charge of recording the results showed them to Lao Qian.
Old Qian glanced at it and handed it to Su Niannian.
"Little Su, check if the weight is correct. If it is, I'll start calculating the money."
Su Niannian took it, looked at it, and found nothing wrong.
He then returned the paper to Old Qian.
"no problem."
Old Qian sat on a small stool, placed the paper on his lap, and continued calculating.
"Rice and wheat, each three thousand five hundred catties, totaling seven thousand catties. I'll charge you seven cents a catty this time, is that alright?" Old Qian asked Su Niannian, holding a pen in his hand.
You should know that the rice and wheat were obtained from Su Niannian for 50 cents a pound the previous two times.
Old Qian really went all out this time, raising the price to 70 cents per pound.
This increase is indeed quite significant.
It should be noted that Su Niannian's rice and wheat were still unthreshed.
Although the threshing loss wasn't too great, it wasn't insignificant either.
Su Niannian smiled broadly when she saw Lao Qian raise the price of grain from five mao per jin to seven mao.
"Thank you then."
When Lao Qian saw Su Niannian smile, he smiled too.
Even at 70 cents a pound, Lao Qian still has a lot of profit margin.
It really is something from Su Niannian, that's wonderful.
"Seven thousand catties, at seven mao per catty, that's four thousand nine hundred yuan."
"Sorghum used to cost 30 cents a pound, but this time it's 1,000 pounds, which is 300 yuan."
"Corn used to cost 18 cents a pound, but now it's 20 cents a pound. A thousand pounds would cost 200 yuan."
"Tomatoes, green beans, cucumbers, and green peppers are all 30 cents a pound. 300 pounds of each, that's 1,200 pounds, which is 360 yuan in total."
"The sweet potatoes and potatoes weigh a total of 1,600 jin, at 3 mao per jin, which is 480 yuan."
"The total is six thousand two hundred and forty yuan."
Just as Lao Qian was about to hand the calculated paper to Su Niannian, Su Niannian waved her hand.
"It's six thousand two hundred and forty yuan in total, no problem." Su Niannian had already calculated it.
Therefore, there is no need to look at this piece of paper anymore.
The prices of rice and wheat were high, so when Su Niannian went back last time, she discussed with Gu Nan about reducing the amount of sorghum and corn in the space.
Therefore, this time there is more rice and wheat than last time, but sorghum and corn are half the amount of last time.
After all, you're going to grow whatever you want anyway, so you might as well grow something of higher value.
Old Qian handed over 6,240 yuan to Su Niannian and asked her to count it.
After Su Niannian took it, she started counting it with a smile.
"Little Su, I see that there's less sorghum and corn this time than last time... Did you sell them to someone else?" Old Qian hesitated for a moment, but still asked the question that was on his mind.
"After all, rice and wheat flour are expensive, so we reduced the supply of cheaper corn and sorghum," Su Niannian said.
