Chapter 87 Asking for a Thousand Catties of Grain
Over the course of several days, the grain sold every day was basically around 700 to 800 kilograms.
I guess I haven’t seen Guo Meijuan for a while.
Last time, I bought 350 kilograms of grain from her, but I don't know if it has been sold out.
Zhou Ran plans to stop by and take a look. What if they sell out and can restock?
Zhou Ran went to Guo Meijuan's house.
It just so happens that Guo Meijuan is on vacation today at home.
Seeing Zhou Ran coming over, Guo Meijuan was extremely happy.
"Sister, you're finally here. If you don't come, I'll have to find a way to find you!"
After hearing Guo Meijuan's words, Zhou Ran knew in his mind that Guo Meijuan had probably sold the grain and was thinking of buying it from her.
"Sister, have you resold so much of the food? I thought you hadn't sold it all, because you haven't been here in the past few days."
Guo Meijuan said, "It has been sold out a long time ago. Your rice is of good quality. My relatives and friends are all rushing to get it."
In fact, the popularity of rice was unexpected by Guo Meijuan.
If she had known it would sell out so quickly, she should have bought more from Zhou Ran.
Now those relatives and friends have made a lot of reservations and are rushing to get the goods.
"Sister, how much do you want this time? I'll get it for you."
Guo Meijuan thought for a while, "Give me a thousand catties, sister, do you have so much goods?"
Guo Meijuan knew a lot about one thousand kilograms of grain, so she wasn't sure whether Zhou Ran had the ability to get so much grain.
Zhou Ran said, "Yes, sister, are you sure you want so many goods at one time?"
"Well, I'm sure, a thousand pounds will sell very quickly."
The total amount of the reservation alone is 300 kilograms.
The remaining 700 kilograms can be sold or resold at will.
At the beginning, Guo Meijuan would not have had the confidence to buy so many goods, but now that she has tried selling and knows what the market is like, she dares to buy in large quantities.
If people want so much, Zhou Ran will definitely not refuse to sell it.
Zhou Ran asked Guo Meijuan to wait for a while, then rented a cart and brought ten large bags of rice to Guo Meijuan.
Even though one thousand kilograms of grain was pulled by a cart, Zhou Ran was still panting from exhaustion, with a lot of sweat beads on his forehead.
But thinking that she could earn two hundred and fifty yuan by selling one thousand kilograms of grain to Guo Meijuan, Zhou Ran felt that even being tired was nothing.
"Sister, this is a thousand kilograms of grain, please count it.
You bought a lot of goods, so I will give you these thirty kilograms of rice as an extra gift."
Thirty kilograms of rice, if Guo Meijuan spent her own money to sell it, it would cost seven and a half yuan.
Originally, if Guo Meijuan sold this thousand kilograms of grain, she could earn fifty from it.
Zhou Ran gave her another thirty kilograms for free, and he earned even more profits.
For Zhou Ran, all the rice was costless, and it didn't matter even if he gave some to Guo Meijuan.
If someone buys a thousand kilograms of goods in one go, giving them some discounts is nothing.
Guo Meijuan paid the money readily, and then chatted a few words with Zhou Ran, "Sister, you must have been working very hard these days, right? I see that your face is much thinner than the last time I saw you!
"
Zhou Ran gets excited when he hears others say he has lost weight.
My family sees her every day and can't feel any obvious changes in her, but for those who only see her after a while, any changes in her will be very obvious.
Zhou Ran touched his face and said excitedly, "Ah, sister, you didn't lie to me, did you? Do I look really thin?"
Guo Meijuan nodded, "Yes, I have really lost weight, a lot.
Sister, don’t work too hard, you have to pay attention to your body.”
Guo Meijuan had a very good impression of Zhou Ran, so she was concerned and said a few more words.
But Zhou Ran was very excited and said, "Sister, I lost weight on purpose. I didn't lose weight too hard."
Hearing what Zhou Ran said, Guo Meijuan was stunned, and then said, "Why are you losing weight? You are so lucky to be chubby. How many people these days want to be fat but can't."
Guo Meijuan is telling the truth.
There are very few fat people in this era. Because they don’t have access to good food, it’s difficult to gain weight even if they want to.
People like Zhou Ran could become so fat simply by sucking the blood of the entire Zhou family. Otherwise, it would not have been easy for Zhou Ran to grow so fat.
Zhou Ran said, "Sister, I still think it's better to be slimmer. If you're too fat, your clothes will be more useless than others."
Guo Meijuan was amused by Zhou Ran.
When it comes to people losing weight, she will definitely not say anything else.
Some people like to be fat and some like to be thin. You must respect your personal choice.
After leaving Guo Meijuan's place, Zhou Ran went to run a few more business deals before meeting up with Shen Zhian.
When Shen Zhian returned to the production team, he was still carrying a bunch of meat and a few pig bones.
This is the meat dish Shen Zhian brought specially to the Zhou family.
Originally, the workers no longer needed help from the Zhou family for lunch, so the Zhou family certainly couldn’t afford the food for lunch.
Shen Zhian bought a hundred kilograms of rice directly from Zhou Ran and gave it to him, which should be enough for the workers to eat while building the house.
In addition to food, Shen Zhian also bought some meat for him every now and then.
Of course, the meat was not bought for the masons, but for the Zhou family.
Several men from the Zhou family helped him build the house. They didn't need any wages anymore, so he definitely couldn't lose money on food.
In addition, if you don’t eat well and don’t have enough energy when working, it will also affect your work efficiency.
The Zhou family initially felt that Shen Zhian's behavior was too expensive, but they couldn't stop him from doing so.
The next day, because of the rain, it was inconvenient for Zhou Ran and Shen Zhian to go to the county town to run the black market, so they decided to rest at home.
I have been very tired these past few days, so I am recuperating my energy at home and waiting for the weather to clear up before I can recover before going to the black market.
After it rains, it is inconvenient to build houses and farm work cannot be done. The entire brigade is basically idle at home.
But everyone is happy to have some rest time.
Usually when the weather is fine, you have to work, but you can't just be lazy.
Zhou Ran rested at home and felt that being idle was idle, so why not cook something delicious?
She plans to make some brown sugar cakes.
We have brown sugar and red dates at home, as well as flour and rice noodles.
It’s not troublesome to make, but the kids at home will definitely love it.
Zhou Ran likes the little carrot heads in his family very much. Although they are young, they are very sensible.
The original owner had a rather unruly and willful personality, and the few little carrots were still a little in awe of her. Now Zhou Ran treats them very well, and all of them are happy to get close to her, their little aunt.
I heard Zhou Ran talk about making brown sugar cakes, but few of them had never heard of it, let alone tried it.
But if my aunt says it’s delicious, then it must be delicious.
Several children from the Zhou family were busy working behind Zhou Ran, trying to help with something, but they couldn't get help.
Zhou Ran kneaded the flour and fermented it first.
