Chapter 408: Chapter 408: What a Refreshing Person
“Changhai, this is my older brother,” the butcher introduced.
“Co on, Brother Zhang, have a cigarette,” Jiang Changhai offered with a beaming smile.
Brother Zhang took the cigarette, without any formalities, and directly asked, “Did you say you need a hundred pounds of at tomorrow?”
“Yes, yes, I don’t know if you can get that much?”
Brother Zhang was also a bit troubled. “Brother, you’re rushing this. A hundred pounds in one day is a lot, I can’t produce that much.”
When Jiang Changhai heard he couldn’t do it, he imdiately beca anxious; the birthday feast was the day after tomorrow. If he couldn’t buy the at, he would have to take a day off to go to the county town.
“Brother Zhang, please help out. I know you have wide connections. It might be tough for others, but for you, isn’t this a piece of cake?” Jiang Changhai complinted him.
“Changhai, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but the at we produce every day, after supplying the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and the governnt canteens, doesn’t leave much,” Brother Zhang explained. “But, if you want off-cuts, I can definitely make up a hundred pounds.”
“Brother Zhang, off-cuts are fine as long as the at is fresh. But how much are you selling those for?” Jiang Changhai, hearing there was a possibility, imdiately inquired about the price.
“Brother, don’t worry. Although the off-cuts don’t look great, they’re still good at, and they’re cheaper than normal at, only 30 cents a pound,” Brother Zhang said.
Hearing this, Jiang Changhai imdiately made a decision, “Alright, Brother Zhang, then reserve a hundred pounds of off-cuts for tomorrow, and let give you a deposit.”
Jiang Changhai quickly paid ten dollars as the deposit.
“Alright, brother, you’re really straightforward. If you need more at in the future, just co to ,” Brother Zhang, seeing Jiang Changhai doing business efficiently without any fuss, was also willing to entertain him as a friend.
“Thank you, Brother Zhang, and next ti I need it, I won’t be polite with you. What ti should I co to pick up the at tomorrow?” Jiang Changhai asked.
“You bought a lot and it’s not convenient to carry, so just leave your address, and I’ll deliver it directly to you tomorrow.”
Brother Zhang, seeing Jiang Changhai was generous and obviously capable, also wanted to make friends with him and literally sold him a favor.
“Wow, that’s great, Brother Zhang, I really appreciate it.”
Jiang Changhai was delighted to hear this, as he was worried about how he would carry it back ho. It was like soone bringing a pillow to him as he was about to sleep.
After picking up a few pounds of at he had just bought from the butcher’s house, Jiang Changhai went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and bought six pounds of sugar, a bag of flour, two large jugs of sorghum liquor, and two waterlons.
The flour and sugar were ant for making Birthday Peach, the sorghum liquor was for drinking at the birthday feast, and the waterlons were for consuming at ho.
After carrying these items ho, Jiang Changhai joyfully shared the fruits of his labor with his wife.
“Wifey, today when I went to buy at, they didn’t have that much, but they said they had enough off-cuts, so I bought a hundred pounds. Guess how much per pound?” Jiang Changhai teased.
“Fifty cents,” Su Wanyu guessed.
“Thirty cents a pound, a hundred pounds for just thirty dollars. The off-cuts, aside from not looking great, have no other flaws; they are all freshly cut from the pig. We have saved quite a few tens of dollars,” Jiang Changhai said proudly.
“Brother Hai, how are you so smart? You’re really good at saving money. You saved two months’ salary in just one morning,” Su Wanyu held Jiang Changhai’s face and praised him joyfully.
