After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 767 Selling Seeds

Chapter 767 Selling Seeds

"It's very good! 800 pounds! But where are we going to sell these seeds? I can't bear to sell such good things for the original price of 20 cents a pound, but I'm afraid that no one will want them if we sell them at 30 cents," Auntie Dong said with a sigh.

Qiao Mei did a quick calculation. In the next two days, everyone's seeds would be ready for harvest and it was almost the end of the year. Every family would have at least 500 pounds of seeds. It was unrealistic for everyone to sell it on their own. If that was the case, everyone would lose money.

"Auntie, can you calculate how much the entire village can produce?" Qiao Mei asked.

In this aspect, Auntie Dong had really already done some calculations. It was not that Auntie Dong was greedy, but she just felt that her family did not have much private land. She was a little jealous that others had bought more seeds from Qiao Mei and their harvest was better than hers. She just wanted to take a look and did not have any other intentions.

"There's definitely 10 tons. There are so many families in our village! Every family has at least 500 pounds. Qiao Mei, quickly help me think of a way. In two days, all those good seeds will be eaten up by my children!" Auntie Dong said with a frown.

With such a large quant.i.ty, she would be able to discuss it with the supply and marketing cooperative. The quality that each family produced should be about the same. When she had some free time, she would go around to transmit some energy to these seeds so that they could grow faster.

It was just that the price was not so easy to negotiate. Qiao Mei felt that 30 cents a pound was very cheap. She even wanted to sell it for three dollars a pound!

However, three dollars a pound may seem like an acceptable price in the capital, but in this small county city, it was something astronomical. Three dollars was enough to buy a brand new set of bedding. Who would spend three dollars to buy a pound of seeds!

"Leave this matter to me. I'll go to the county city and ask around. I'll leave the matters in the village to you, Auntie. I still need you to think of a way to get everyone to report the quant.i.ty they produced to my mother. If there's a clear number, it'll be easier for me to negotiate the price, right?" Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Auntie Dong clapped her hands happily. Leave this small matter to her! She would definitely settle it well!

"Qiao Mei… what's the price that you are thinking of… Do you have an idea?" Auntie Dong asked carefully.

After all, she was asking someone for help. It would be too shameless of her to ask Qiao Mei to raise the price higher. Qiao Mei was already kind enough not to care only about her own returns and was helping the villagers to earn money. However, she still had to support her family. There were so many mouths at home. As long as she did not lose money, anything was fine!

"Auntie, don't worry. I can't promise you anything else, but it will definitely be more than 30 cents a pound. I definitely won't let everyone lose money!" Qiao Mei patted her chest and made a promise.

"Good, good, good! I'm relieved to hear that! I'll go and make the arrangements now!" Auntie Dong went home happily.

Qiao Mei stir-fried all the seeds in her house. She had a total of 1,000 pounds and the fragrance spread to more than 10 miles away. This time, she had to think of a good solution.

The next morning, Qiao Mei took the horse carriage and went to look for Chen Hu. Without anyone's help, she carried the big bag full of seeds to Chen Hu's office.

Xiaobei was dumbfounded as he followed behind. Along the way, he had been worried that something would happen to Qiao Mei. He had been following her since she entered the courtyard, but she refused to give it to him even when he reached out to help her.

"Uncle Hu! I'm here! Guess what great stuff I brought you!" Qiao Mei was not able to use her hands to push open the door, so she had to gently kick it open.

Chen Hu was so shocked that he immediately got up from his seat to welcome Qiao Mei. He could not even lift the bag up, yet Qiao Mei had actually brought it from the village to the county city alone. She was really too strong.

If he did not remember wrongly, Qiao Mei was already seven months pregnant. Due to the fact that she was having twins, the size of her stomach made her look like she was nine months pregnant and about to give birth.

"Why did you carry such heavy things yourself! Xiaobei, what are you doing! You let a pregnant woman carry such a heavy load upstairs!" Chen Hu pointed at Xiaobei and scolded him out of exasperation.

Xiaobei lowered his head aggrievedly. He wanted to help, but Qiao Mei did not allow him to. He wanted to help, but he was helpless.

"Uncle Hu, I didn't allow Xiaobei to help me. If he helps with such a heavy thing and the load is unevenly spread, we might both strain our waists! Look, I'm all fine!" Qiao Mei said laughingly as she touched her stomach.

"Xiaobei, go out and run 20 rounds as punishment! Go quickly!" Chen Hu said as he pointed outside the door.

Xiaobei quietly left the room to carry out his punishment. Qiao Mei noted this as a favor she owed Xiaobei and decided to bring him a lot of delicious food the next time she came!
