It was only 120 yuan.
Spending more than 100 yuan on a big bed made of red sandalwood, how was it expensive?”
Zhang Yunshang also spoke eloquently, as if he was already very cheap.
"Old Master, are you playing dumb with me?
Do you think that the grain and oil store is owned by your family and you can buy as much as you want?
You're a city dweller and have food at home. Don't tell me you don't know the rules of buying food?
Go to the black market and ask around. How much is a catty of white flour? From what I know, there's no one who costs less than 80 cents.
Even if 800 catties of wheat were converted to 600 catties of white flour, it would still be 500 yuan.
Moreover, who would dare to sell such a large quantity to you?”
With the game farm, Chen Zhengyu did not lack wheat at all. It was nothing more than a matter of sunbathing for a few more days.
However, he couldn't be a sucker.
Otherwise, he would be cut off by the other party in the future.
"Even if it's 500 yuan, you're still getting a great deal. The longer you keep this thing, the more valuable it will be.”Zhang Yunshang tried his best to explain.
"If I wanted to collect it, I could just buy an antique bed from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Was there a need to buy such a new one? I'm using it to sleep. I'm afraid I can't sleep on a bed that costs a few hundred yuan.”
Chen Zhengyu still shook his head, looking as if he would not buy it if the other party did not lower the price.
"Alright, then tell me, how much wheat do you want?”
Zhang Yunshang saw that this was not a solution, so he could only give in.
"Two hundred catties of wheat!" Chen Zhengyu raised two fingers.
"Two hundred catties?"
Zhang Yunshang raised his voice several times.
"Little brother, I see that you're quite good-looking. Why are you so black-hearted? Two hundred catties, I can't even earn enough money to run errands.”
"300 catties, no more. My family only has this amount of wheat. After giving it all to you, I can only eat cornbread this winter.”Chen Zhengyu cried in poverty.
"770 Jin." Zhang Yunshang started bargaining.
"330."
"Seven hundred!"
"400!"
"650."
"450."
Inside the house, the two of them stared at each other. One was unwilling to reduce the price any further, and the other was unwilling to increase it.
It was stuck.
Finally, Zhang Yunshang couldn't hold it in anymore and said with a sorrowful expression,""Little brother, look at me, I'm already so old. How many years do I have left to live? I just want to eat a few mouthfuls of rice before I die. Even if I go down there, I can be a full ghost.”
Chen Zhengyu seemed to be touched. He winked hard and said,"Old Master, I know it's not easy for you. Your children aren't by your side and you're all alone. From now on, I'll send you 65 catties of wheat every month for ten months in a row. I can also visit you on the way.”
"Little brat, you must force me to curse, right? 580 catties of wheat, not a single catty less. I'll also give you a recliner.”
Zhang Yunshang glared at Chen Zhengyu fiercely.
"Alright, who asked me to look at you as if I was looking at my dead grandfather? So let's be quick.”
Chen Zhengyu stretched out his hand and pointed. It happened to be an arhat bed placed opposite the living room.
"Hehe, little brat, your eyes are quite sharp. That Arhat bed is made of mahogany. It's been around for a long time. When my father was alive, he liked to lie on it and sleep.”
Zhang Yunshang said with a smile.
He knew that Chen Zhengyu would not want this kind of furniture.
"Forget it. Since it's something that the ancestors like, I won't snatch it away. 580 catties of wheat, deal! However, I have a request."
As expected, Chen Zhengyu was no longer thinking about that Arhat bed.
With so much food in exchange for a red sandalwood bed, people would definitely scold him for being a prodigal. However, from another perspective, he had actually profited.
The value of an item depended on who was looking at it from.
When one was about to starve to death, a steamed bun was worth more than a piece of gold.
Similarly, Chen Zhengyu could continuously harvest wheat by sunbathing. In his eyes, it was naturally nothing.
On the other hand, the other party was starving every day. A bed that could not be eaten or drunk in exchange for a few hundred kilograms of wheat was also profitable.
This was called taking what they needed.
"What request?"
Seeing that Chen Zhengyu had agreed, Zhang Yunshang heaved a sigh of relief. His attitude had obviously improved.?? Chen Zhengyu did not directly state his request. Instead, he asked,""Old Master, after you receive the wheat, do you have the means to process it into flour?”
"It's alright. I have an acquaintance."
Zhang Yunshang nodded reservedly.
In fact, it was not as simple as an acquaintance. In this day and age, anyone who was willing to take the risk and help him process wheat had to have a good relationship.
"It's like this. Our village has secretly hidden some wheat and wants to process it into flour. It just so happens that we don't have to do two things at the same time.”
Only then did Chen Zhengyu reveal his fox tail.
"Little brat, you're still playing tricks with me? If she really is from your village, I will eat this bed. Alright, I don't care where you got the wheat from. I can help you process it, but I have to take a commission.”
Zhang Yunshang directly exposed Chen Zhengyu's little trick. Not only was he not angry, but he was also very interested.
This was a good deal.
After all, selling the bed was just a one-time deal. However, if the other party processed a batch of wheat every month, it would be a steady stream of income.
"Sure, just say the number."
Chen Zhengyu nodded, mentally prepared.
From the very beginning, he did not expect the other party to help him for nothing.
"This depends on the amount of wheat you want to process. The more you want, the greater the risk I have to bear, and the higher the commission.”Zhang Yunshang said.
"300 catties."
Chen Zhengyu thought about it and gave a number.
He had thought about this number carefully.
Similarly, if it was processed into 80 pieces of flour, it could produce 240 catties of flour.
He could bring 60 catties of flour home every month, which was equivalent to two catties a day. With some coarse grains, it was just enough for the whole family to eat for a day.
It was not that he was reluctant to take more, but the more he took, the greater the hidden danger.
Whether it was Zhang Xiuzhen, his grandmother, or Chen Shuqun, they would all question the origin of his flour.
Even if it was 60 pounds, he had to give a reasonable excuse.
It was not difficult to do this. He just had to make a few more trips to the countryside and have an excuse.
As for the rest, Chen Zhengyu would save a portion of it and use the other portion to exchange for some daily necessities in the black market. As long as he was careful and controlled the amount every time, the possibility of being targeted was not high.
More importantly, 300 catties was not a lot, but it was also not a lot.
He did not want Zhang Yunshang to take the risk. After all, he had just traded about 600 catties. This was only half of it.
Why did Chen Zhengyu keep asking about his family's situation?
With a son and daughter, it was inevitable that he would consider and worry a lot when doing things.
