Chapter 20 Brown Sugar Trade
After finishing their conversation, Yufei and Zhu Xiangui said their goodbyes, explaining that she had other things to do back at the hotel.
Zhu Xiangui turned to the young woman from before and asked, "What's your name?"
The young woman was still reeling from the shock the watermelon had given her.
Zhu Xiangui asked twice before she finally responded, "Excuse me, my name is Li Rong."
Zhu Xiangui understood the shock the watermelon had caused her, because he had also lost his composure because of it, so he hadn't noticed Li Rong's slow reaction.
"Li Rong, please put the remaining watermelons in my office. I'll need them when I get back. Also, please get the purchase contract from my desk."
Zhu Xiangui had a feeling that Yufei could surprise him a lot, so he always had some common purchase contracts on hand, which only required filling in the price and what the items were.
After Zhu Xiangui and Yufei finished, Zhu Xiangui drove the hotel's van to take Yufei back to the guesthouse.
He hurriedly returned to his office and presented the unfinished watermelon to the chairman.
After Yufei and Granny Chun returned to the guesthouse, they put the pig, goat, and lamb into their spatial storage.
The moment these beasts entered the space, they were immediately categorized and placed in their corresponding locations by the dragon baby, requiring no intervention from Yufei.
Yufei nodded in satisfaction and, without stopping, led Granny Chun to the general store street.
They sell everything here. I came here once with my grandma, and we only bought some fabric for her to get familiar with the place.
Yufei headed straight for the general store that sold candy, which not only sold all kinds of candy but also honey and candied fruit.
This is a super sweet shop; no wonder it's called "Sweet Pets." You can tell how much the owner loves sweet things.
The shop was run by a muscular man in his late twenties who greeted Yufei and Granny Chun warmly.
Looking at the uncle with a bright smile, Yufei couldn't help but wonder if this was the legendary "gap moe" (a cute contrast between a man's appearance and his personality)? Does every tough guy have a girlish heart inside?
"Little sister, would you like to buy some candy? We have orange candy, peanut candy, White Rabbit milk candy, Ooh-Ooh candy, watermelon candy, and many other delicious treats!"
The uncle then gave Yufei a White Rabbit milk candy to try.
Yufei shook her head, declining the uncle's offer. Although White Rabbit candy is currently a very popular snack among children...
But Yufei had tried it in her previous life when she grew up, and for her, White Rabbit milk candy was still too sweet; she didn't particularly like it.
Furthermore, she had already tried the red sugar cubes from the space, so she was even less interested in White Rabbit candy.
Yufei went straight to the point and spoke to the dessert shop owner.
"Big brother, I'm not here to buy candy, but to do business with you. I have a kind of candy here that's ten thousand times tastier than White Rabbit candy. You can try it first."
As she spoke, Yufei took out packaged sugar cubes from her pocket and gestured to the candy shop owner that she could try some.
The owner of this candy shop is named Fang Gang, a rich second-generation heir who loves sugar. So after graduating from university, he opened his own candy shop, collecting all things sweet.
It can be enjoyed by oneself or shared with others for sweetness. Today, I saw this little girl who wasn't interested in his beloved White Rabbit milk candy at all, but instead recommended other candies to him, which successfully piqued his interest.
He took the brown sugar from the plastic bag that Yufei handed him, put it in his mouth, and ate it.
Then Yufei saw someone glowing, their whole body radiating bubbles of happiness, eating candy with a blissful expression.
"How much candy can you provide?" When Fang Gang woke up from his sweet bliss, he couldn't wait to ask Yufei how much candy she could provide. As for the price, was he short of money?
Yufei was not surprised by the candy shop owner's reaction; anything produced by Space was bound to be of high quality!
"Brother, we can provide 20 catties of brown sugar per week, but at what price are you planning to buy it?"
"My name is Fang Gang. You can call me Brother Fang or Brother Gang. Hehe, money is no problem. How about 50 yuan per jin?"
Fang Gang, who wasn't short of money, generously replied. Of course, he was a businessman after all, and his business was about making money. He had already considered the matter when Yufei asked.
Regular brown sugar costs 10 yuan per pound, but this sugar is clearly not ordinary brown sugar. It's not just delicious; after eating it, he felt a warm current warming his body.
Brown sugar has a warming effect on the uterus and can relieve menstrual cramps. Although he's a grown man, he knows a great deal about sugar, including its various health benefits.
The moment he tasted the candy, he already knew how to promote it. He remembered his cousin had severe menstrual cramps due to cold uterus; she suffered excruciating pain during her periods. He could try selling it to her.
If he's wrong, just consider it a snack he bought for himself; he can finish it!
50 yuan! Yufei's heart pounded, but she remained outwardly calm, indicating that it was fine, and signaled to Granny Chun to give Fang Gang her bundle.
"Brother Fang, here's my 20 jin (10 catties) for this week. Here you go, I'll come back next week."
Fang Gang took the candy from Granny Chun, counted it, and then went to the inner room to retrieve 1000 yuan worth of "Big Reunion" money. Luckily, Fang Gang had a personal habit of carrying some cash with him; otherwise, going back and forth to get the money would have been quite troublesome.
After completing the transaction, Yufei and Granny Chun noticed it was getting late. They returned to their usual spot at the guesthouse, left 30 bags of fertilizer, and waited for Yufei's parents to return.
Fang Gang returned to his rocking chair and leisurely popped a sugar cube into his mouth. Mmm, the sweet aroma lingered in his mouth, sweet but not cloying.
"Mommy~ over here!" Yufei saw her parents returning in their three-wheeled motorcycle and jumped up and down at the alley entrance, calling out to Liu Meili and Li Aiguo.
Liu Yufei had already sent Granny Chun back to her spatial dimension, so she was alone there now. Hearing her daughter's grandmother's voice and seeing her looking like a monkey, Liu Meili gestured to her husband to drive the three-wheeled vehicle over.
"Yufei? What are you doing here?" Liu Meili looked at her daughter with disapproval.
"Granny Chun brought the fertilizer over and waited for you here for a while. She figured you'd be back soon, and she had a lot of things to do at the Agricultural Research Institute, so she left. She just left a little while ago, so please don't be angry."
Seeing that her mother was getting angry because she was worried about her, Yufei immediately comforted her.
"Really?" Liu Meili was a little suspicious; how could it be such a coincidence?
"Really! I swear!" Yufei said earnestly, her sincere expression managing to fool Liu Meili.
Liu Meili looked at the mountain of fertilizer behind Yufei and gestured to her husband to load it onto the three-wheeled vehicle. Yufei's family then spent another night at the guesthouse.
The next morning, Li Aiguo drove his three-wheeled motorcycle back to Hongxing Village on the first ferry. He first dropped Yufei and Liu Meili off at their homes, then hurriedly drove off to the fields.
