Chapter 27 Encounter with profiteers

Walking out of the Western Restaurant, Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei looked at each other and suddenly laughed together.

I have to admit that just now I saw Yang Wei and his girlfriend Lu Jiayun look like they had eaten a fly, which was really satisfying and I felt a sigh of anger in my heart.

"Xuemei, how could you have a VIP card here?"

When Li Shaoan heard that the VIP card would cost at least 10,000 yuan, he was surprised and unbelievable. Ten thousand yuan was an astronomical figure for him. Although Zhao Xuemei's family was better, she was not so rich, and Li Shaoan couldn't figure it out.

Zhao Xuemei covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Do you really think I can have that much money? That's all the money in our village. Although Tieshan Bay is a poor village, there are 3,000 nails for broken boats, a forest farm, and a brick factory... The expenses in these places are quite large in a year. As a cashier, I often come here to purchase in the past two years, and over time I have this card."

Li Shaoan suddenly realized that he was too stupid. He didn't expect that at this level, this number is really unimaginable for a person, but it is not impossible for a village.

Next, the two of them came to the agricultural supplies market and started the most important thing in this trip, purchasing rice seeds. In addition to seeds, there are also plastic films, herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides.

"Let's have a look in this house."

Li Shaoan pointed to a store that looked very decorated and walked in side by side with Zhao Xuemei.

"What do you two want?"

A man who is less than 1.7 meters tall and thin, looks a little slick, greets him with a smile. He is the owner of this store.

Li Shaoan expressed his purpose, and the male boss immediately brought the two to the counter, took out a bag of early rice seeds, and boasted about it.

"Two, please see how I am like this, the particles are full and the quality is absolutely excellent."

Li Shaoan held the rice seeds in his hand and observed them carefully. Although the particles were large, the husks were wrinkled and old. He knew rice knowledge and could tell at a glance that the rice seeds should be old and immediately showed an unsatisfied look.

The boss's face suddenly stopped. Seeing Li Shaoan shaking his head, he felt that something was wrong. He just saw these two people coming in and saw that they were dressed and treated them as people who were not good at it. Unexpectedly, this young man looked like a master.

"Boss, is there anything else?" Although Li Shaoan found out that this was Chen Zhong, he did not say anything bluntly.

"No more, if you want early rice seeds, this is the only one." The boss laughed dryly and put on an air of not buying it.

Although Zhao Xuemei didn't understand rice, she could see the clues in the conversation between the two. She immediately pulled Li Shaoan and smiled and said, "Shaoan, let's go, and go to another house to have a look."

After walking out of this seed shop, Li Shaoan couldn't help but shake his head.

"What's going on? I saw that something seemed to appear on you just now?" Zhao Xuemei asked softly.

Li Shaoan smiled and said, "This boss is very traitorous. He used old seeds to deceive me, saying it was a new seed."

Zhao Xuemei then cursed: "This boss has a pair of eyes and doesn't have any good intentions at first glance."

At the stand where the two were talking, another seed buyer walked into the store just now. When the boss saw the visitor, he immediately greeted him warmly and took out a pack of new seeds from the inner room. "Boss Tang, you are here just right. Recently, a new rice called Maoya rice is released, a hybrid improved variety, which is specially reserved for you."

"Shao'an, let's go in and take a look!" Zhao Xuemei smiled coldly, full of contempt for the boss's tricks.

In order to see what happened, the two of them returned to this seed shop again, wanting to see what the boss said about Maoya rice.

When he walked into the store, the boss was whispering to the familiar customer, not knowing what to say.

"Boss, didn't you say there were no other rice seeds?" Zhao Xuemei stared at the boss in a daze, thinking of blaming him.

The boss was startled at first, but he didn't expect that both of them had left. He suddenly returned and immediately smiled and said apologizing: "It's not that I want to cheat on you, it's because this new rice seed has already been booked by this boss Tang, and I hope to forgive me."

Li Shaoan walked to the counter and grabbed a handful of rice seeds in his hand. Seeing that the so-called cat-teeth rice was indeed slender and pointed at both ends, which looked like a kitten's fangs, and it was also hybrid rice.

Speaking of hybrid rice, many farmers are not very acceptable to this new thing. At that time, people's main income was the acres of fields in their hands. No one had ever grown hybrid rice before, and everyone was unsure. If it was not harvested, they would have to drink the northwest wind.

However, Li Shaoan used hybrid rice to do experiments when he was in school. He knew that hybrid rice grew vigorously, with large ears and many grains, and had strong stress resistance. As long as it was planted properly, it could greatly increase the yield per mu.

Li Shaoan expressed his strong interest in catfish rice seeds. If he could plant catfish rice in Tieshan Bay, it would definitely bring good returns.

The buyer named Tang quickly paid the money to leave, leaving only Li Shaoan, Zhao Xuemei, and the boss in the store.

"Boss, do you still have cat teeth rice seeds here? I want to buy them too." Li Shaoan said excitedly.

The boss looked embarrassed, pinched his chin and said, "This... there are, but there are not many left, and there are still several old customers who have booked it. I really can't buy it for you..." The boss was sure that Li Shaoan was just a naughty man, without social experience, so he clearly set aside and cut you off.

Li Shaoan didn't think much about it, just wanted to buy this cat-tooth rice species, and discussed with the boss: "Or why you sell it to me, I can pay a higher price."

"Overall rice seeds are 80 cents per kilogram, and this cat-tooth rice seed is more expensive, 1 yuan per kilogram." The boss began to laugh proudly in his heart. Today he will kill you, the injustice.

"Ah, it's so expensive..." Li Shaoan was shocked.

The boss said proudly: "Don't think it's expensive. How many people are rushing to buy it? How many do you want?"

Li Shaoan calculated briefly that one acre of land requires about 2 kilograms of seeds, and 18 acres of land means 36 kilograms. Including the loss, at least 38 kilograms must be prepared. Calculated at 1 kilogram and 1 3 yuan per kilogram, a total of 49 yuan is required.

I spent more than 30 yuan to buy a train ticket and invite Zhao Xuemei to Western food. Fortunately, I still have more than 60 yuan in my hand, otherwise I would not be able to afford seeds.

Zhao Xuemei suddenly grabbed Li Shaoan's hand and said with a clever smile: "Shaoan, let's go and go to another house to have a look."

"Wait a minute, do you want it?" The boss hurriedly called out to the two of them.

Zhao Xuemei shook her head and sighed, "Didn't you just say that there is not much left? We are here to purchase for the village, and I'm afraid that there are not enough seeds in your hands."

When the boss heard that it was a village purchase, it was a big business. He kept laughing and said, "Don't hurry to leave first. If you want more, I can think of another way."

"Forget it, your price is too expensive. Our village needs bulk purchases, and the amount is too large to be worth it." Zhao Xuemei still insisted on leaving.

The boss caught up with respect and said: "The price is easy to discuss. You want more, you can calculate it according to the whole price."

Li Shaoan was almost tempted to agree, but was stopped by Zhao Xuemei.

"Sorry, boss, we don't want this kind of thing today." Zhao Xuemei said, pulling Li Shaoan away without looking back.
