Chapter 138 Clearly marked price
Thinking of this, Gu Wan became even more motivated.
The next day, after finishing her work at the commune, Gu Wan went home without wasting time and, together with her mother, collected more than 30 kilograms of fresh cowpeas from three fellow villagers.
In a month or two, there will be fewer and fewer cowpeas in the field, so Gu Wan plans to harvest more during this period.
Her practical experience of selling products on the shopping mall many times has confirmed that the pure natural and pollution-free cowpeas grown by rural people themselves are still quite popular at this time.
Some people want fresh long beans, and similarly, many people also like dried cowpeas or sour beans.
The main reason is that the cowpeas in large supermarkets in later generations are all grown in greenhouses, and they are usually passed through freezers before being distributed to various supermarkets, so the taste is definitely not as good as that of farm vegetables.
Many families in the Hongqi Brigade grow these things, so Gu Wan wanted to harvest more.
Don’t think that more than 30 kilograms of fresh cowpeas are a lot. If dried, it is only about 5 or 6 kilograms. But when you want to eat it, you can just soak it a little and stir-fry it into a large dish.
Therefore, if sold in the mall, the price of dried cowpeas is more considerable than that of fresh cowpeas.
Similarly, through this back and forth trading, Gu Wan also made considerable profits.
The main reason is that dried cowpeas are easy to store, so Gu Wancai thought of collecting more at this time, and making the fresh cowpeas collected this time into dried cowpeas.
In addition, Gu Wan also found some fresh cowpeas and put them directly on the shelves for sale in the mall.
When Qiao Yuemei went out to find her fellow villagers to buy the vegetables, she basically did as her daughter said. The price was one cent per pound, which was two cents more expensive than the price at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Wan said, "Mom, don't worry, I won't lose money if I sell it out. It's okay if I can bring more profit to the villagers and earn less for myself."
Everyone's life is not so easy. Gu Wan is not a saintly person. He just wants to benefit more people within his ability.
Qiao Yuemei also understood what her daughter meant and couldn't help but sigh: "Wanwan is really sensible."
The collected dried cowpeas are made into dried cowpeas by several female comrades from the Gu family.
In addition, Zhang Laosi also helped Gu Wan find ten kilograms of dried cowpeas, which were ready-made and more convenient for Gu Wan to carry.
As a result, Gu Wan had no use for the ten kilograms of dried cowpeas as they were divided up by others.
Luo Yutong and Zhou Weihong were the ones who discussed asking for it. They didn't dry the cowpeas like the villagers to eat during the winter, but after listening to Gu Wan's words, they also wanted to plan some benefits for their families.
In comparison, there are not many good foods in the city in winter. If they can send some dried cowpeas back, their parents will be happy.
However, the two of them were too lazy to bother, and they knew their own limitations. Unlike Gu Wan, who had the support of the Gu family and naturally had an advantage in the Red Flag Brigade.
If they went out to collect the cowpeas, the quality of the cowpeas they brought back would not be that good. The two girls who had to go to work every day were unwilling to waste their energy on that.
"Don't bother with you guys. I've spent a lot of effort to get this done, but you guys are just picking up something ready-made." Gu Wan scolded with a smile.
"It's so nice to pick up something ready-made. We are good friends, so why would we both care about such a small matter?" Luo Yutong winked at Gu Wan.
Zhou Weihong just watched the two of them flirting without getting involved. Besides envy, she felt more regret and resentment towards Qin Shiman.
It was all Qin Shiman's fault for instigating discord, which caused her to do the wrong thing in the beginning. Although she and Gu Wan are friends now, their friendship is obviously not as deep as that of Luo Yutong.
Regardless of what they said, the price was clearly marked, so Gu Wan did not refuse. In fact, they would share any delicious food with her. Gu Wan knew that she was still an educated youth and could not completely break away from that group.
But she did not live in the educated youth site nor go to work, so it was very necessary for her to establish good relationships with the female educated youth at this time.
While Gu Wan was working actively and using the red envelope group to make money and help the villagers, some small accidents happened to Qi Bin.
In the past few years, he has often been on various missions and encountered countless enemies and dangers. Don't think that Qi Bin is in a high position today just because he has been working hard outside in his teens.
In fact, he is not like his father who needs to rely on the power of the Fang family. Qi Bin’s achievements today are entirely due to his own efforts.
He has fought and struggled many times regardless of his own safety to achieve his current success.
Like this time, he encountered a lot of dangers, and the most terrifying one was not the external injuries he suffered.
The wound was very small, just a scratch by a dagger, breaking the skin a little.
What was scary was that the dagger was smeared with poison, and Qi Bin was sent to the hospital by his companions at that time.
Accidental poisoning was Qi Bin's misfortune, but fortunately, he was sent to the provincial hospital by his companions and met Wei Junjie.
Coincidentally, among the medicinal materials that Gu Zhiqiang had sent over before, there were several herbs that could detoxify Qi Bin after being properly mixed.
Qi Bin originally thought that it would take ten days or half a month to return from a business trip to another province, and he felt a little depressed because he had just started dating Comrade Gu Wan.
As fate would have it, Qi Bin had already discovered the enemy before he went out, and because he had exposed the enemy in advance, he took the risk and used a killing move on him.
As a result, after Qi Bin's poison was removed, the external injury was just a minor problem and could be treated with a simple bandage.
Then he quickly threw himself into work. The nickname of "Workaholic" was not false. Qi Bin and his companions quickly locked down and caught all the previous suspects.
The task was completed ahead of schedule. Qi Bin informed Wei Junjie, thanked him and then returned to Yangjiang County.
Qi Bin was anxious to return to the Red Flag Brigade to see Gu Wan.
In fact, time was really tight. This time Qi Bin stayed in Yangjiang County under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, but he had to leave because the mission had basically been completed.
On the one hand, he was reluctant to be separated from his partner for a long time. On the other hand, Qi Bin talked to his aunt on the phone many times and realized that his parents' help was the most troublesome.
My aunt has clearly pointed out that his partner's qualifications do not meet his parents' standards for a future daughter-in-law.
Fang Yilan knew very well that her brother-in-law Qi Sheng would not allow his nephew to date a rural girl.
As long as Qi Sheng objects, Fang Miaolan, who has always put her husband first all these years, will not agree.
Qi Bin would never let Gu Wan suffer such an injustice. His idea was to solve the problem fundamentally.
The root of the problem lies with his father. As long as Qi Sheng is dealt with, won’t the problem be solved perfectly?
In fact, in the past few years, Qi Bin no longer regarded Qi Sheng as his father. That man was not worthy!
So before coming back, Qi Bin asked Wei Junjie to help him keep an eye on the movements in the provincial capital compound, because neither the Qin family nor the Qi family are good people.
Qi Bin will pay back double or even multiple times the amount to anyone who dares to bully his wife!
