Chapter 149 The Peanut Vendor
Li Kuailai shook his head, still looking like he wanted to leave.

"Oh, forget it, two yuan less, otherwise I really can't do this business." Shen Mingcong sighed.

"Shen Mingcong, we are classmates, so don't be so stingy. I don't have much money to work on the construction site. How about 7 yuan a catty for lean meat and 3 yuan for pork belly?" Li Kuailai asked.

"That won't work." Shen Mingcong shook his head.

Li Kuailai turned around and walked back, while sneering, "What do you say about rich people in business, even at this price. The stalls just now are all at this price, and I want to compare other stalls."

When Shen Mingcong saw Li Kuai coming to taunt him, his blood rushed to his brain. "Come on Li, don't go, come back."

All along, Li Kuailai has always been suppressing Shen Mingcong.With such an opportunity today, how could he let it go?

In fact, this price is also acceptable, and he is not losing money, just making a small profit.

It's noon now, and it's not bad to be able to sell the pork at a cost price.

Li Kuailai turned around and asked, "How is it? Can your pork be lower than others'?"

"Even lower?" Shen Mingcong was stunned.

Originally, he thought that he would sell it to Li Kuailai at the price Li Kuailai just mentioned, but if it was lower, he would not make any money.

"We are classmates, pork belly costs [-] yuan a catty, and lean meat costs [-] yuan, or I will buy it from the boss." Li Kuailai said intentionally, "Are you doing well? Are you as poor as me?"

Li Kuailai knew that this classmate was also a little concerned about face, and couldn't stand being provoked.

Sure enough, Shen Mingcong gritted his teeth: "Okay, seeing that you are classmates, I'll sell it to you for nothing."

Li Kuailai smiled hehe, do you think you are a fool?
The current price of live pigs is not high, it is estimated to be four or five yuan per catty.These pork ribs, lean meat, etc. are sold at a high price, and Shen Mingcong will not lose money.

But if there is such a good thing, Li Kuailai will not be polite.I directly ordered two catties of lean meat and two catties of pork belly. If I can't finish it, I can still eat it tomorrow.

As soon as Li Kuailai left the pork stall, Shen Mingcong took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Hey, it's me, old classmate, I'm telling you a very funny thing. That Li Kuailai, didn't I hear that he was going to college Did you? Didn’t expect to work part-time at the construction site now, it’s so shabby, I can’t even look down on it.”

Li Kuailai bought some more vegetables and went home.

After all, my family is not rich, so I dare not buy seafood.

When Li Kuailai got home, he began to cook and stir-fry.

When the parents came back with the peanuts, Li Kuailai went to help, spread a layer of adhesive paper on the ground, and then poured the peanuts on top.

Vendors sometimes collect wet peanuts and sometimes dry ones, depending on the situation.

But after the peanuts are pulled up and knocked down, we can't wait for the vendors to dry the peanuts, lest they will become moldy after a long time.

It can only last longer if it is dried in the sun.

Dried peanuts can be used to squeeze peanut oil, which costs five or six yuan a catty.

"Brother, did you just pull out the peanuts?" A man drove by on a motorcycle and stopped the car when he saw Li Huaming drying peanuts in front of his house.

Li Huaming nodded and said, "Yes, they were just pulled out. This year's peanuts are still good, do you want to accept them?"

Li Kuailai recognized this vendor. His name is Wen Jinshui, and he has often collected peanuts near them for the past two years.

"Then sell it to me, one yuan and five catties." Wen Jinshui looked at the peanuts next to him, and estimated that they weighed several hundred catties.

"Isn't this price a little less?" Li Huaming was unwilling, "The purchase price for wet peanuts was still one yuan and seven the day before yesterday."

"Brother, you said it was the day before yesterday. The current world is not good, and some things can't be sold. Like dried peanuts, no one wants them anymore." Wen Jinshui asked, "Do you sell them? If you don't sell them, I will go to other places." family asked."

Li Huaming couldn't be the master, so he shouted into the room: "Wen Qiong, come out."

When Deng Wenqiong came out and heard about the price, she was also unwilling: "Boss, our peanuts are strong, whether you use them for drying or making food, they are all first-class."

"Everyone's is pretty much the same." Wen Jinshui said with a smile, "If you don't want to, forget it."

"One piece and six, we are at a loss." Deng Wenqiong thought for a while and said.

There are not many people collecting peanuts this year, so the price is not high.

There are still a lot of dried peanuts at home. If they cannot be sold, they will be squeezed into peanut oil.

Because the family is waiting for money, they don't squeeze peanut oil for cooking like other families.

Peanut oil can be sold for six yuan a catty, while lard is only two yuan a catty, so save as much as you can.

"Okay." Wen Jinshui thought for a while, didn't say much, took out his mobile phone and made a call.

After a while, a truck drove over.

Two people got out of the car, and they carried the scales.

Li Huaming and the others also put the wet peanuts into sacks and weighed them.

Wet peanuts are relatively heavy just after they are pulled out. If they are exposed to the sun for an hour or two, they will definitely be lighter.

Deng Wenqiong took the money for the wet peanuts and asked Wen Jinshui, "Boss, do you want dry peanuts?"

"Two yuan and five, do you sell it?" Wen Jinshui said.

Deng Wenqiong shook his head and said, "It's too cheap, so we won't sell it. We'll sell it to the oil factory, and it's not more than this price."

"Sister, it's two yuan and seven to take you to the oil factory. I asked this morning. If you don't believe me, you can ask now." Wen Jinshui put the money bag on the truck, "We just earn hard money. You need manpower to pull it over, and it will probably take more time and effort to go back and forth.”

Seeing this, Deng Wenqiong gritted her teeth and said, "Let's make room, two yuan and sixty-one catties."

Wen Jinshui glanced at Deng Wenqiong: "Sister, if you don't do business like this, you are really burying talents. Forget it, it's only two yuan and six. I'll call and call a car now."

Because wet peanuts and dried peanuts cannot be mixed together, Wen Jinshui called a pickup truck to come over.

But driving from the town, it is not so fast.

After more than ten minutes, the pickup truck came, and Li quickly came and they weighed the dried peanuts.

Because dried peanuts are relatively light, a sack is only about forty catties, so those sold are also several hundred catties.

Wen Jinshui handed over the money to Li Kuailai, and said, "That's it."

"Boss, besides the peanut business, do you also do the fruit business?" Li Kuailai asked.

"Yes, if it's the fruit season, we will harvest the fruit. After all, peanuts are only produced twice a year, and we can't just wait for those two purchases, or we will starve to death." Wen Jinshui laughed, "What's the matter? , Do you also grow fruit at home?"

Now the fruits grown in rural areas are not on a large scale, so Wen Jinshui collects some from one family, and some from that family, and accumulates more, and then sells them to fruit shops on the street.

Vendors of course want to have a large-scale fruit base, so that they can save a lot of effort.
