48: After modification: Chapter 48 Unscrupulous rchants
After having dinner, it was already around ten o’clock.
This ti Wu Xiaoyu ca to the city for Ma Xiaomin’s matter, so the Ma family had booked a hotel for him in advance.
Zhou Dong was about to take the college entrance exam in the next couple of days, but tonight he drank a bit and was tipsy.
If he went ho, he would definitely get a scolding from his father, so he insisted on staying in the hotel with Wu Xiaoyu.
As a result, they were once again mistaken for a gay couple.
At eleven o’clock, as Wu Xiaoyu was about to take a shower and go to bed, his phone rang again.
It was still an unfamiliar number.
After Wu Xiaoyu picked up, he heard the voice of his sister, Wu Xiaowen.
It turned out that in the afternoon, after lunch, Ma Xiaomin had taken her mother to the school.
Not only did she apologize to Wu Xiaowen, but she also forcibly gave her a cell phone.
A girl who hadn’t seen much of the world couldn’t refuse Zhang Fang’s gift, so she called her brother after evening study to ask for his advice.
Since they had already received three hundred thousand yuan, they didn’t care about such a small amount of money.
Wu Xiaoyu told his sister to accept it calmly and not to feel burdened.
After all, they had saved Ma Xiaomin’s life, didn’t they?
Wu Xiaowen heard that Wu Xiaoyu hadn’t gone ho yet and suggested that he return with her since the day after tomorrow was the college entrance exam and the school would be on holiday the next day.
Wu Xiaoyu naturally agreed happily.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Xiaoyu saw Zhou Dong lying on the bed, sleeping like a dead pig.
He couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly.
Looking at him like this, it was clear he didn’t take the college entrance exam seriously at all!
Early the next morning, Zhou Dong was awakened by a phone call from his father, ordering him to go ho and study.
Wu Xiaoyu had to put on his clothes, eat breakfast alone, and then head to a chicken farm on the outskirts of the city.
Although Jiacheng County is quite large and governs over a dozen towns, there are very few chicken farms that can hatch chicks.
This particular chicken farm on the outskirts was the closest to Daxin Village, aning it wouldn’t take long to transport the chicks, and there wouldn’t be a large number of them dying during the journey.
After taking a motorcycle taxi for twenty minutes, Wu Xiaoyu arrived at the chicken farm on the outskirts.
The old man at the gate wasn’t too enthusiastic when he heard he was there to buy chicks, lazily making a phone call.
Before long, a man in his thirties ca out, arrogantly asking, “How many chicks are you planning to buy?”
Wu Xiaoyu felt very displeased with his attitude.
I’m here to buy your chicks and make you money, yet you give
this attitude?
Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu didn’t imdiately answer his question, the man stopped and raised his eyebrows, glaring at him, “Are you here to buy chicks or not?
I asked you how many chicks you want to buy.”
Goddammit, if it weren’t for the fact that your chicken farm is the closest, I would have slapped you already!
As they say, when under soone else’s roof, you have to bow your head.
Wu Xiaoyu had to suppress his anger and answered, “I plan to buy three thousand chicks first.
When this batch is ready for market, I might buy tens of thousands more.”
The man, hearing this, imdiately toned down his arrogance but still maintained a half-hearted attitude, “Follow .
Let’s check how many-day-old chicks you need.”
Following him to the brooder house, Wu Xiaoyu was imdiately surrounded by the chirping sounds, with chicks of various stages raised in different pens.
Before coming, Wu Xiaoyu had already decided to buy chicks that were about twenty days old.
Chicks at this stage were suitable for free-range farming in the mountains.
More importantly, he only needed to raise them for about a month and then feed them so Spiritual Spring Water before they could go to market.
Having agreed on the quantity with the man but not yet talking about the price and transportation, he was led outside again.
Then a woman approached and asked, “Young man, where’s your ho?”
“Longhe Town!” he replied.
Hearing this, the woman’s expression changed imdiately, “If you’re raising three thousand chicks, you’ll need about six hundred bags of chicken feed.
How many bags do you plan to take ho first?”
Her question left Wu Xiaoyu at a loss.
Chicken feed?
He intended to use corn and bran from ho and didn’t plan to buy any chicken feed!
“I’m from the countryside.
Corn and bran will do.
No need for chicken feed!” Wu Xiaoyu answered.
As soon as he finished, the woman yelled, “No need?
What a joke!
If you buy our chicks, you must also buy our chicken feed!”
This is outright coercion!
Wu Xiaoyu was about to speak when the man said, “Let
tell you, our chicken feed is scientifically formulated.
Chicks will grow faster and stay healthy eating it!”
“You don’t have to tell him that much!
Just ask him how many bags he wants!
If he doesn’t buy our chicken feed, he can’t buy our chicks!” The woman said, taking a handful of sunflower seeds from her pocket.
I’ve got plenty of corn at ho, and I’m supposed to spend money on your feed?
Am I crazy?
Wu Xiaoyu argued, “How can you do this?
Where’s the sense in that?”
While munching on sunflower seeds, the woman said, “That’s how it works here!
If you don’t want to buy, go sowhere else.
But let
tell you, if you buy chicks elsewhere, they’ll certainly die during the transport to Longhe Town!”
Damn it!
So that’s why you asked where I was from!
Helpless, Wu Xiaoyu conceded, “Alright then, can I first buy twenty bags?”
“No!
At least two hundred bags!”
“Two hundred bags?
Why don’t you just rob ?” Wu Xiaoyu retorted.
Hearing this, the woman beca even harsher, discarding the sunflower seed shells and cursing, “Such a small order, I can’t even be bothered with you!
Wasting so much of my ti!
Buy or get lost.”
Wu Xiaoyu had everything prepared at ho, just waiting for the chicks to be brought to the mountain.
Now faced with such aggressive sellers, he was really infuriated.
He cursed, “You shrew, without you, I can’t raise chickens?
I won’t buy your chicks then!”
He was about to leave but was blocked by the man from earlier, “Hey buddy, what’s the deal?
You looked at our chicks and now don’t want any?”
“What do you want?” Wu Xiaoyu asked angrily.
The man shouted, “Here’s the deal!
Either you buy both the chicks and the feed, or leave a thousand bucks as a viewing fee!”
Viewing fee?
Do you think this is a zoo?
Wu Xiaoyu pushed him away and started to walk out, only to be t by a group of security guards ard with sticks.
This is not a chicken farm, it’s a freaking scam!
Rolling up his sleeves, Wu Xiaoyu realized he wouldn’t get out of here without a fight!
The sunflower-seed-munching woman quickly moved aside, looking like she was watching a show.
She must have seen this scene many tis before, probably scamming quite a few suckers!
