The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug Chapter 141 - 141 Chapter 141: Stocking Up On Food Again

141 Chapter 141: Stocking Up On Food Again

“Then I want to change it. Make it 2000 catties of coarse flour and 1000 catties of brown rice then,” Qin Xiaoyao said quickly.

A total of 3000 catties was only nine taels of silver.

It just so happened that a batch of century eggs was produced yesterday, and she earned nearly three taels.

In addition to the nine taels of silver she had saved up before, it was still within the range that she could afford.

!!

According to her attractive husband’s prediction, the price of food would increase.

At that ti, even if she couldn’t finish the food in her family, she could sell it and earn a sum from the price difference.

“Alright!” The shop assistant quickly agreed.

The store had just raised the price of grain, and business had not been very good these two days. This big business deal made up for the shortfall.

“I bought so much, and I’m picking up the goods myself. As for the price, you should give a lower price.” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly said when she saw the shop assistant’s smile.

It was not her style to not bargain.

The smile on the shop assistant’s face quickly disappeared.

After that, he moved closer to Qin Xiaoyao.

“When it’s loaded, I’ll give you an extra 50 catties of brown rice and 50 catties of coarse flour. How about it?” He said in a lowered voice.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered.

She bought 3000 catties but only got 100 catties for free. That was only a 3% discount.

Hence, she counter-proposed, “Add another 200 catties to make it a 10% discount!”

She knew that this shop assistant had a special position in this shop and had the authority to decide how much discount he could give her.

When she ca to buy grain and talked to the shop owner previously, it was also this shop assistant who had helped her to negotiate.

The shop assistant seed to struggle inwardly for a mont.

“Well… Madam Qin…”

“Help out. It’s not like this is our only business. After I’m done with this batch of food, there will be a next ti.” Qin Xiaoyao said hurriedly and even gave the shop assistant a surreptitious eye signal.

The shop assistant’s expression imdiately changed.

“Deal! Then Madam Qin, please wait a mont. I’ll go and talk to the shop owner. I’ll try to help you negotiate the price!” he said.

“Hehe! Go then!” Qin Xiaoyao said happily.

She was very confident that once this good brother took action, this deal would definitely be successful.

“Alright!” After the shop assistant finished speaking, he quickly left.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t have to wait long before the shop assistant ca back in a happy mood.

He even told Qin Xiaoyao the good news that the price had been agreed upon.

Qin Xiaoyao paid two taels of silver as a deposit with a smile on her face. Then, she pushed the handcart and followed the shop assistant to the backyard of the grain store.

Over there, he weighed the grains with practiced ease and loaded them onto the handcart.

“What does Madam Qin’s family do for a living? Why do you need so much brown rice and coarse flour?” The shop assistant asked casually as he helped Qin Xiaoyao load the goods.

He was a little curious, but he also wanted to get closer to Qin Xiaoyao so that he could better win over this big custor.

Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes flickered when she heard that.

“Ahem… Just so small businesses that require a lot of effort but don’t make much money,” Qin Xiaoyao replied offhandedly.

“Hey! Help load more coarse flour.” She then changed the topic.

“Oh, okay!” The shop assistant quickly replied.

He didn’t ask further.

After a while, the two of them finished loading the goods.

“There’s a total of 600 catties here, all of which are coarse flour. After that, you still have 1600 catties of coarse flour and 1100 catties of brown rice,” the shop assistant said.

Qin Xiaoyao nodded and patted the food on the handcart.

“Good. Then you take so ti to retrieve the goods. I’ll co over later to pay the remaining money and take the goods away.”

“Alright!” The shop assistant replied happily.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao pull the handcart and leave.

Looking at Qin Xiaoyao’s back as she left, the shop assistant couldn’t help but admire her.

This Madam Qin’s strength was really quite remarkable.

After leaving the grain store, Qin Xiaoyao pulled a handcart full of grain and flour and headed ho.

When she got ho, she found that Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaoi had already closed their stalls.

When Madam Liu and the others saw Qin Xiaoyao bringing back a handcart full of stuff, they also ca forward to ask her what was going on.

When they learned that Qin Xiaoyao had bought a total of 3000 catties of food, everyone was aghast.

“3000 catties? How can we possibly eat that much?” Madam Liu imdiately objected.

“That’s right, Sister Sanya. If you buy so much, I’m afraid your family will have to eat this batch until the year after next!” Big Girl Li said.

Sister Sanya had just ntioned to her that the price of food might rise, and she had already told Daniu to buy 200 catties of food today and store them.

She had thought that 200 catties were more than enough, but her Sister Sanya had bought 3000 catties!

Good grief! Did she need to stock up so much?

...

There was a look of disapproval in Song Yun and Liu Xiaoi’s eyes as well.

“I didn’t say it’s all for eating.” Qin Xiaoyao said as she swept her gaze across everyone’s faces.

Everyone was bewildered.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao smile mysteriously.

“I just got the news today. The price of rice and flour will rise again.”

“Even if we can’t finish all the rice and flour ourselves, we can sell them when the price rises. It’ll be a profitable business.” Qin Xiaoyao directed these words at Madam Liu.

It was mainly to pacify Madam Liu.

She did have so plans for selling food, but she didn’t want to sell too much.

After all, the money she had was limited. Even if she really wanted to hoard food to sell later, she wouldn’t be able to earn much.

“Who… who said that?” When Madam Liu heard this, she did not seem as resistant as earlier.

This was because she had heard Aunt Sun ntion this before. Therefore, she also believed that the grain price would rise.

...

The rest of the people also looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

“Boss Fang of Fortune Mansion,” Qin Xiaoyao lied blatantly.

“I only ordered 3000 catties, but Boss Fang…”

The crowd stared at Qin Xiaoyao without blinking.

“Ordered 30,000 catties!” A peculiar expression flashed across Qin Xiaoyao’s face as she said this.

Hah! Was 30,000 catties a little too much…

So be it if it was too much.

Fortune Mansion had opened a new eatery, and they consud a lot of rice and flour every day.

“Er… Of course, Boss Fang has his own channels. If he is buying so much rice and flour, it will definitely be cheaper than what I have paid,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

Seeing everyone’s astounded expressions, Qin Xiaoyao reminded everyone again, “Oh yes. Keep this to yourself. Don’t tell anyone else about it.”

Everyone hurriedly nodded.

“Also, don’t tell anyone about the rice and flour I have stored up. If we accidentally make the whole town panic, then whether it’s Boss Fang or our family, no one will be able to get away with it,” Qin Xiaoyao continued.

At this mont, Madam Liu and Song Yun beca even more nervous and quickly nodded.

At the sa ti, Qin Xiaoyao also looked at Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaoi.

The two of them also hurriedly nodded.

They all promised not to spread this news.

Only then did Qin Xiaoyao relax and prepare to put away the food in the storeroom.

Big Girl Li quickly called out to Liu Xiaoi to follow her in to lend Qin Xiaoyao a helping hand.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t stop her either.

Qin Xiaoyao began to unload the goods in the storage room.

Liu Xiaoi helped out by the side.

However, Big Girl Li didn’t co forward.

Qin Xiaoyao was a little puzzled.

After unloading the goods, she asked Big Girl Li if she was feeling unwell.

This was because she just saw that Big Girl Li looked like she wanted to throw up twice.

To her surprise, the mont Qin Xiaoyao asked, Big Girl Li abruptly turned her head away shyly.

“My Sister-in-law is fine. She’s expecting!” Liu Xiaoi said with a smile at this mont.

Qin Xiaoyao got a shock.

She couldn’t help but look down at Big Girl Li’s tummy.
