Chapter 184 Good News
After dinner, Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan went to Lu Dagang’s home and bought eight winter melons, weighing two hundred and sixty catties, and also seven catties of dried bamboo shoots, purchasing them at sixty cents per catty, and bean paste at ten cents per catty, taking a total of ten catties.
The total cost was six yuan and fifty cents.
This time, Shen Mianmian paid one yuan and fifty cents, with the remaining five yuan to be delivered tomorrow.
Lu Dagang and Zhang Changchun didn’t hesitate at all, they agreed immediately, and were overjoyed to sell for over six yuan, their mouths couldn’t close with delight.
The bean paste was made with their own beans, so there was no cost for materials, and the winter melons didn’t cost anything to grow; the seeds were from the year before last, and the dried bamboo shoots were made from wild shoots. The cost of these items didn’t even amount to fifty cents, yet they sold for six yuan and fifty cents—it was like a pie falling from the sky.
Initially, Lu Siyuan’s words had been somewhat doubted by Zhang Changchun, but now that the second batch of winter melons had been taken away, she had no choice but to believe.
Looking at the situation, this seemed like a long-term business. Next year, she would have to plant more, so that by the New Year, she would be able to make quite a bit of money, even more than from selling grains.
With just over three yuan left, Shen Mianmian and Lu Siyuan discussed and then bought another winter melon for one yuan and fifty cents and some more dried bamboo shoots for slightly more than a yuan from their neighbors.
