Chapter 256 Selling and Buying Grain
"Okay! No problem!" Lin Xi believed in Lei Da's character, so she agreed without thinking.
Even if Lei Da doesn't pay her the remaining money, she will have a way to find him and get the money back. If it really comes to that, Lei Da will probably regret his decision very much.
Lei Da was so moved by Lin Xi's unexpected answer that his eyes turned red, as if he would be moved to tears in the next second!
"Thanks, brother. I will pay you back as soon as possible."
"Okay, I believe you."
"As usual, you take people to the old place to pick up the goods in half an hour." Lin Xi said, waved his hand and left.
When Lei Da saw Lin Xi leave, he immediately took out all his belongings and counted them. Then he wrote an IOU without stopping. Finally, he arranged for his brothers to prepare the car. Only then did he slowly take the money and go out.
Although Lei Da had already gone out, he remembered the half an hour that Lin Xi mentioned, so he wandered around the street for about twenty minutes before heading to the transaction location.
When Lei Da arrived, Lin Xi had already prepared the food and piled it there waiting.
"Here they come! Let's ask someone to inspect the goods!" Lin Xi stood behind and let the people brought by Lei Da to inspect the goods.
"Okay, then Brother Lei, I'll have someone inspect the goods first." Brother Lei was very satisfied with Lin Xi's self-awareness and immediately asked someone to check the grain.
"Master Lei, the food is all top quality."
"Master Lei, the things are the same as before, no problem."
Ever since Lei Da took over the black market in the province, his subordinates changed the way they addressed him from Big Brother to Master Lei, which also proves that Lei Da is definitely the leader in the black market.
"Well, be careful when you pull it back, don't let anyone catch you by the tail." Lei Da gave the order carefully, fearing that he would be caught by his mortal enemy.
"Yes, Master Lei!" All the people brought by Master Lei answered in unison.
After everything was arranged, Lei Dacai came to Lin Xi with his entire fortune of 20,000 yuan, "Brother, here are 20,000 yuan, count it..."
"No need, I trust you, Master Lei." Lin Xi also changed the way he addressed Lei Da. He took the money wrapped in Lei Da's hand with a smile and threw it all into the space.
"Ahem, why call me Master Lei? It seems too formal. Just call me Brother Lei like before."
"Besides, if you hadn't sold such good goods to me, where would the name of Master Lei come from?" Lei Da smiled embarrassedly, feeling that he really couldn't bear Lin Xi's call of Master Lei.
"Okay, then I will call you Brother Lei from now on!" Seeing that Lei Da had said so much, Lin Xi no longer worried about whether he was Master Lei or Brother Lei. After all, they were in a cooperative relationship, so it didn't matter to her what he was called.
"That's right! Calling you Master Lei really embarrasses me, haha!" Lei laughed happily.
"Brother Lei, this batch of grain is the last one this year. I'll be leaving first. You go ahead and do your work." Lin Xi looked at the grain all over the ground and felt that transporting so much grain would be a big project!
"Okay, next time you must have a drink with me, your brother Lei. We agreed on it last time." Lei Da was a little annoyed that the time was not right, otherwise he would definitely have to fight with him a few times.
"Okay, I'll definitely drink a few more glasses with you next time." Lin Xi didn't expect Lei Da still remembered it, so she agreed with a smile.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait. I'll make sure to get you drunk!" Lei Dada said arrogantly!
Lin Xi smiled and said nothing. She thought to herself, "It would be amazing if you could get me drunk." After all, she had a cheating tool, and she didn't know who would be drunk first!
"Goodbye!" Lin Xi waved goodbye and left the land temple in a casual manner, riding his bicycle towards the village.
When he returned to the village entrance, he saw the villagers standing in a long line in the threshing ground. Lin Xi thought something big had happened again!
After asking, I found out that today was the day for distributing food. After the food was distributed, I didn't have to go to work and could only wait for the New Year.
Lin Xi was not in a hurry to distribute the food. He first rode his bicycle back to the Youth League Home, then picked up a bag and lined up at the end of the line!
Because of the food distribution, every villager had a smile on his face, and the children were running around happily, shouting the words "white flour dumplings" over and over!
Lin Xi knew that most families in the village would make dumplings tonight to celebrate the year's harvest and to reward themselves for their hard work throughout the year.
White flour dumplings? Of course, Lin Xi, who hadn't received any food yet, also planned to eat white flour dumplings tonight, just like the local customs!
"Village chief, my family needs 300 kilograms of coarse grains and 10 kilograms of fine grains, and the rest will be exchanged for money."
"My family is the same."
"And mine."
In the threshing ground, most villagers exchanged their work points for a year's worth of coarse grains, and then exchanged the rest for money. In their minds, keeping the money in their hands was the most important thing, and very few of them exchanged it for fine grains.
For them, the most important thing is to fill their stomachs, as long as they don’t starve to death.
When it was Lin Xi's turn, not only did he not get any food, but he even had to pay for it. This was also within Lin Xi's expectations. After all, how many work points could one earn by cutting grass for pigs?
"Village chief, please help me calculate how much the work points I owe are converted into money? I will make up for it with money."
"In addition, I will buy another 100 kilograms of fine grain. Can you calculate the total amount?"
"Okay, I'll calculate it for you..."
The village chief didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Xi buying grain. Instead, he felt it was reasonable!
If his family conditions were as good as Linxi's, he would also want to eat fine grains every day!
"The total is ninety-eight yuan and fifty cents." The village chief used an abacus and soon gave a number, then asked someone to weigh and pack the fine grain for Lin Xi.
Lin Xi counted out ninety-eight yuan and fifty cents and handed it to the village chief, then carried the hundred kilograms of grain and left.
Leaving behind a group of villagers who were in disarray in the wind, "This Lin Zhiqing is really strong. That's 100 kilograms! Not 10 kilograms. How can she carry it so easily?"
"Otherwise, how could he be the one who killed the wild boar and the python!"
"Speaking of which, this educated youth Lin is really rich. He bought a hundred kilograms of fine grain without blinking an eye."
"Isn't this the capitalist way? Aren't you afraid of being reported?"
Some villagers began to feel envious, while others started to make sour remarks.
"I think you are jealous! If that's the case, your family shouldn't eat white flour dumplings tonight! That's also capitalism, be careful or I'll report you..."
If Lin Xi hadn't left yet, she would definitely be surprised that Mrs. Li would actually speak for her.
"you you you…"
"What do you mean by 'you'? You've eaten a lot of the meat that Lin Zhiqing beat up! If you have the guts, spit it out! Otherwise, stop gossiping about others behind their backs." Mrs. Li continued to retort.
