Chapter 1081
The uncle knew that Jiang Han saw the rotten soybeans, broken soybeans and pebbles inside.
"I'm old now, and I don't have the energy to pick. Anyway, I can always sell it for four yuan a pound."
Jiang Han nodded. "Four yuan a pound of soybeans like this isn't too much. Okay, I'll buy all of them. How many pounds do you have in total?"
The uncle was obviously stunned. How could such a good thing happen?
"Are you serious? Can you finish all these soybeans?"
"I run a guesthouse. Business is pretty good. All these soybeans are for the guests."
His mountaintop B&B provides free breakfast, and he needs to make a lot of soy milk every morning.
The soy milk made with these local soybeans must be very fragrant.
"Okay, okay, I met a noble person today."
"This basket of mine holds 100 kilograms, so two baskets would make 200 kilograms."
At 4 yuan per pound, the total cost is 800 yuan.
Knowing that the uncle only used cash, Jiang Han ran to the B&B and exchanged 1000 yuan in cash.
Jiang Han gave all the 1000 yuan to the uncle.
The uncle counted them and was stunned. "Young man, I made a mistake. I gave you two too many."
The uncle also gave a heartfelt lecture, "Young people just don't take money seriously. Be more careful when giving money in the future."
Jiang Han smiled and said, "Uncle, take them all."
He gave 1000 yuan, which is equivalent to 5 yuan per pound of soybeans. He should give 5 yuan per pound of soybeans.
The uncle didn't expect that Jiang Han gave him this money specifically.
"But you-"
"Uncle, just keep it safe. I won't suffer any loss."
This price is just right, any higher would not be appropriate.
It’s okay to use the broken beans inside to grind soy milk, but he still has to ask someone to pick out the bad beans and stones.
After these things are picked out, not only will the weight be reduced, but it will also cost more labor.
The uncle was already quite old, and suddenly he felt like crying. "You don't know, we old folks are the only ones left on this island. The village chief told us to support the old. That means the younger ones help the older ones to get through their final days. These soybeans are not only planted by me, but also by several other elderly people. They are all in their seventies and eighties. They can still do some digging in the fields, but they really don't have the energy to sell them out."
Jiang Han didn't expect this to happen.
Jiang Han found a sticky note and wrote down his phone number.
"Uncle, if you have other local specialties here, you can contact me. If I think they are suitable, I will buy them."
The uncle's eyes immediately lit up, "Would you like some salted sea duck eggs?"
Many people here raise ducks, and since they have more eggs than they can eat, every household pickles a lot of sea duck eggs.
"As long as the product is good, I will definitely accept it." If the product is not up to standard, he can't help.
"Okay, okay," the uncle said with his face full of wrinkles.
"Will you come with me to the village? I'll have them get the stuff out."
"it is good."
Jiang Han and Cai Chengyan were taken to the village.
The uncle called out, and all the elderly people in the village came out. Some of the older ones even came out with canes.
"Xiao Li, what happened?"
Uncle Li is obviously an old man, but in the eyes of other old people he is still a young man.
Jiang Han thoroughly felt the dilemma of "supporting the elderly with the elderly".
Now these elderly people in their eighties and nineties can still have people in their fifties and sixties to take care of them.
When these elderly people in their fifties and sixties get old, they can only rely on social welfare.
"Aren't your children coming back?" Cai Chengyan asked.
"Come back, I'll come back during the holidays." He only comes back a few times a year and really can't help much.
"My children want to take me to the main island, but I'm used to living here and don't want to go out."
"I lived out there for two months and I couldn't get used to it at all. Everything cost money."
"..."
The older men became more and more animated as they talked.
Sometimes it's not that the children are unfilial. The young people really can't make money on the island, so they don't want to come back. And the elderly don't want to leave.
