63 Probe—Stealing Business!
Gu Qingming borrowed Third Cousin-in-law’s new clothes and dressed up to look more like a villager.
Then, she followed her three cousins to the field to see the waterlons.
Gu Qingming felt that her day had been really exciting. She did not expect to encounter such a thing on her first day in the countryside. Since she had t him, she would definitely not sit back and do nothing.
Boss Liu bought more than 30,000 catties of waterlons. The waterlon farrs were still picking waterlons in the fields and were trying to finish them all by today.
Gu Qingming swayed to Shi Bangliang’s lon field.
She looked at the waterlons and asked the owner with a smile, “Uncle, can I try your waterlons?”
Shi Bangliang smiled and said, “Of course!”
Then, he went to the field and picked a very beautiful waterlon. He placed it in the empty basket and cut it open. Red juice instantly flowed out.
Third Cousin-in-law took out everything and gave it to Gu Qingming.
Gu Qingming tasted it and said with a smile, “Yes, this waterlon is really sweet. How do you grow this waterlon?”
Shi Bangliang smiled and said, “My lons aren’t as sweet as your three uncles’. Every year, your uncle’s lons are cultivated well and sell the best. They’re even more expensive than ours.”
Actually, he did not understand why the lons planted by Shi Lichun and his brothers were better than their own.
Could it be because the Shi brothers did not use pesticides?
If he didn’t use pesticides, who knew what kind of harvest this waterlon would have?
However, he had to use pesticides.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Uncle, your waterlon is just a little less sweet than my uncle’s.”
She thought for a mont and said, “Can I try the waterlons in the other fields?”
Shi Bangliang nodded. Then, in another field, he picked a waterlon and cut it open.
“Yes, it tastes the sa. I’m relieved.” Gu Qingming took another bite.
She adhered to the principle of not wasting anything. As long as she had tasted a waterlon, she would finish it.
Of course, considering that she couldn’t eat much because she was pregnant, Third Cousin-in-law asked her to only cut a small piece to try.
After tasting the waterlon, Gu Qingming said, “Uncle, I wonder how much your waterlon is sold for? I have a friend who’s also in the waterlon business. She’ll be here in the afternoon.”
When Shi Bangliang heard this, he imdiately understood.
He asked, “Your friend buys waterlons? So, your uncle is selling waterlons to your friend?”
Gu Qingming smiled and nodded. “That’s right. I’ve tasted my uncle’s waterlons, and his waterlons have never been tainted with pesticides. According to the quality, my friend’s purchase of my uncle’s waterlons should be able to reach two dollars a catty.”
“How much?”
Shi Bangliang asked in surprise.
There were still so farrs watching.
When Shi Lichun’s rich niece ca to the fields, they were curious. It was as if they were looking at a monkey and wanted to co over to take a look.
This niece was beautiful and rich. She was also pleasing to the eye.
“Two dollars!” Gu Qingming said again with a serious expression.
Before Shi Bangliang could react, one of the other villagers smiled and said, “Hehe, I say, Shi Lichun’s waterlon was clearly promised to be sold to Boss Liu, but in the blink of an eye, he said that he won’t sell it. It seems that he has found a good buyer. 45 cents versus 2 dollars; there is no competition.”
“That’s right. If I had a choice, I would definitely choose to sell it for 2 dollars.”
“There’s a difference of 1.55 dollars per catty. After accounting for 50,000 to 60,000 catties, there’s a difference of tens of thousands of dollars.”
“That’s right. We farrs work all year round to get a good price for what we grow.”
“This niece didn’t entrust her friend to buy them to help her uncle, right?”
When Gu Qingming heard the villager’s words, she shook her head and said, “No. My friend is really in the fruit business. My uncle’s lons are organic, so I introduced my friend to him. My friend will arrive at two or three in the afternoon.”
A villager’s eyes imdiately lit up, and he asked with an urgent and expectant expression, “Miss, my family has also planted so waterlons. Can you pick a thousand catties or two and collect my waterlons? Don’t worry, my waterlons are also very sweet and beautiful.”
The eldest cousin-in-law was about to refuse. This was obviously an imposition. However, Gu Qingming tugged at her sleeve.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “My friend needs a lot of waterlons. At that ti, I’ll ask her to go to your house to take a look. If they et the acquisition criteria, she’ll definitely be willing to buy it!”
When that person heard this, he imdiately bead and said, “Thank you, niece. Don’t worry, my waterlon is really sweet.”
When the others heard this, they all had the chance to sell it for a high price. They said, “Niece, my family also has so waterlons. I can also pick a thousand catties.”
“I can pick three to 4,000 catties of waterlon from my family’s acres.”
… .
Shi Bangliang glanced at his lon field and could not help but feel anxious.
His family had five acres of waterlons. Now, they could pick up to 20,000 catties.
If his waterlon reached one or 80 or 90 cents, he would earn much more than selling it for 35 cents, let alone 20.
At the thought of this, he smiled and asked, “Niece, do you think my waterlons can be sold to your friend?”
Gu Qingming said hesitantly, “Uncle, I tasted your waterlon and think it’s not bad. Although it doesn’t reach the standards of my uncle’s waterlons, it’s not a problem for a dollar or so. However, hasn’t your waterlon been sold to others now?”
When Shi Bangliang heard this, his face imdiately revealed excitent.
However, he still wanted to confirm it again. “Niece, you’re not lying to , right? Can my waterlons really reach a price of about a dollar?”
“Yes!” Gu Qingming said with certainty. “Uncle, my friend’s family is in business. They determine the price based on the quality of the goods. Although I’m not in the fruit business, I still have so knowledge about this.”
“Okay, it’s good that you’re sure,” Shi Bangliang said excitedly. “Then I’ll sell my waterlon to your friend.
However, Gu Qingming said hesitantly, “But Uncle, didn’t you sell all your waterlons to Boss Liu? Is this okay?”
At this mont, Shi Bangliang was not afraid that Boss Liu would not buy their waterlons.
Shi Lichun’s niece would definitely not go back on her word.
After all, this was her ho.
If she said she wanted the waterlons and went back on her word, her maternal prestige in the village would deteriorate.
Shi Bangliang said happily, “What’s wrong with that? Anyone would choose 1 dollar over 35 cents. Unless his acquisition price is also 1 dollar, I won’t sell my waterlons to him. Who wouldn’t want to earn money?”
Farrs were practical!
