His wife's words moved Li Hu. A pound of peaches costs fifty yuan. Add ten pounds to it and it will be five hundred yuan. One hundred pounds will be five thousand!
Those who work outside in the village can only earn two to three hundred yuan a day at most, and they are still back-breaking. If they add more than ten kilograms to Ye Ming's peaches, they will earn more than they can by working hard for a day.
need more.
But then Li Hu hesitated again. Isn't it a bit unethical to do this?
Li Hu was not a believer. He was afraid that Ye Ming would deal with him if he found out. He had seen Ye Ming kill several people with his own eyes, and his ruthless methods and bloodthirsty eyes still linger to this day.
Li Hu's wife patted him: "What are you thinking about? Do you want to do it or not? We won't put too much into it, just a dozen pounds or so. They won't be able to find it!"
Li Hu hesitated: "But..."
"But what? You didn't seize the great opportunity to make money. There is no shop like this after passing this village. I have been with you for so many years and I have never enjoyed a single day of happiness. At the beginning, you said you would give me a mink coat and buy the latest model.
Apple mobile phone, buy a car, now so many years have passed, Apple mobile phone has been replaced by several generations, the car is not seen, and the electric bicycle is not bought for me, I follow you and I am blind!"
Li Hu's wife sat on the ground as she spoke, slapping her thighs with both hands and crying loudly, as desolate as she wanted.
"My aunt, stop crying, I'll do it! Why can't I do it?"
Li Hu is most afraid that his wife will act out. If he doesn't coax her quickly, he will definitely fight her to death.
Seeing her man agreeing, Li Hu's wife immediately stopped crying, got up from the ground and said, "I'm going to buy some peaches right now, and I'll mix them in when you deliver the goods to Ye Ming tomorrow!"
Seeing his mother-in-law twisting the waist of the bucket and humming a tune as she walked out the door, Li Hu felt extremely complicated and prayed in his heart that he would not be discovered.
"Is Xiaochun at home?"
Li Hu's wife came to a house, stood at the door and shouted inside.
After a while, the door of the house opened and a village woman came out.
"Hey! What kind of wind brought Sister E here today? Hurry up and sit inside!"
Sister E is Li Hu's wife. She and Xiaochun, a village girl, were married from the same village. They both have shrewd personalities and have the closest relationship in Xiahewan.
Wang Yuee entered the yard and asked Xiaochun if there were any peaches at home. I would buy some.
Xiaochun said: "Sister E said this just to show off. What's the relationship between us? If you want to eat, I'll get you a few."
Wang Yue'e said: "Don't bother me. If I say buy it, I will buy it. I will give you whatever price you want to sell it to. I won't get a penny more from you!"
Xiaochun raised her eyebrows. Wang Yue'e usually searched a lot, so why was she willing to spend money today?
Xiaochun brought Wang Yuee'e to the side room, which was filled with bamboo baskets filled with peaches. Xiaochun found a plastic bag and started picking it out.
"Sister E, how much do you want?"
"Forty or fifty pounds, I'll do it myself!"
Wang Yuee grabbed the plastic bag and picked the largest and plump peaches to put in it.
Xiaochun narrowed her eyes and asked: "Sister E, you bought the peaches and you didn't eat them yourself, right?"
Peaches are fresh and can be stored at room temperature for three to five days. Most people buy as much as they can eat.
Wang Yue'e bought thirty or fifty kilograms, and the couple couldn't finish it three times a day.
Wang Yue'e's face changed slightly and she said with a smile: "There aren't any peaches at my parents' place. I'll buy some and send them over for your uncle and aunt to try."
Xiaochun snatched the plastic bag from Wang Yuee's hand: "Sister E, you still won't tell me the truth? If you do this, I won't sell the peach to you!"
Wang Yue'e said anxiously: "Xiaochun, why didn't I tell the truth? I bought peaches just for my parents to eat!"
Xiaochun rolled her eyes. Every time Wang Yue'e went back to her parents' home, she always carried back empty-handed, big and small bags. How could she buy peaches for her parents? What a liar!
Xiaochun poured the peaches in the plastic bag into the bamboo basket and rushed out to chase Wang Yuee'e without saying anything.
"Xiaochun, what are you doing? Don't push me, my shoe fell off!"
Xiaochun pushed Wang Yue'e out of the door: "Sister E, I regard you as my biological sister. If you don't tell me the truth, don't come to my place in the future. Just pretend that we don't know each other!"
Wang Yue'e grabbed Xiaochun's hand and smiled: "Xiaochun, what are you talking about? I have always regarded you as my sister. It's not that I can't tell you about this, it's just..."
"It's just that you're afraid that I'll talk nonsense everywhere? Sister E, who do you think I am, Xiaochun? Forget it, I'm sad, you'd better leave!"
"No, no! Isn't it okay if I tell you? But you must not tell others!"
Wang Yue'e looked around and saw that there was no third person, so she whispered into Xiaochun's ear and told the story exactly.
"What? Fifty yuan per pound!"
Xiaochun suddenly screamed, and Wang Yuee quickly covered her mouth.
"Stop shouting, let others hear!"
Xiaochun also quickly covered her mouth.
"Sister E, did Ye Ming really sell peaches for fifty yuan a pound?"
Wang Yue'e said with certainty: "Brother Huzi gave it to you personally, and the receipt is included, how could it be wrong? I won't tell you anymore, I will quickly pick up some peaches and go back. Remember, don't spread this matter!"
Xiaochun could no longer listen to Wang Yue'e's words. Her heart was in turmoil, and her mind was filled with words about fifty yuan a pound of peaches.
The price of peaches has been sluggish this year, and it's like riding a slide. Xiaochun's family has planted more than ten acres of peach trees. If it keeps falling like this, they won't be able to make back the money from fertilizers, and they will lose all their pants.
After Wang Yuee'e left, Xiaochun quickly went out to find her man.
In the evening, Ye Ming came back on his father's bicycle.
Ye Jinxian was feeding the chickens in the fence with a porcelain bowl. When he saw his son coming back, he put down the bowl and walked over and asked, "How are you feeling today?"
Ye Ming took the medicine box off the back seat of the bicycle, and Xiao Hui quickly ran over, took it and put it in the house.
"It's not bad. I visited 20 households today. Most of them have chronic diseases. I have improved the prescription for them. After taking it for a week, their conditions will be greatly improved."
Ye Jinxian was startled: "Xiao Ming, can you still change the recipe? How? Show me!"
The prescriptions prescribed by Ye Jinxian have been carefully refined, and each medicine will affect the efficacy to a greater or lesser extent. Ye Ming's random changes will not only not improve the efficacy of the medicine, but will also have a counterproductive effect and make the condition worse.
Ye Ming did not memorize the prescriptions, but he had already memorized them by heart. He blurted out several improved prescriptions, and Ye Jinxian was stunned after listening to them.
"This...is this really what you changed? Why didn't I think of using medicine like this?"
Ye Jinxian murmured to himself after being shocked. He never expected that the prescription improved by his son would be many times better than his original one.
What does it mean to be better than blue? This is called being better than blue!
My son has such an understanding of pharmacology in his early twenties, and he will definitely make major breakthroughs and achievements in medicine in the future. The legacy of his ancestors on hanging pots to help the world seems to be coming true in his generation!
Thinking of this, Ye Jinxian couldn't help laughing.
"Uncle Jinxian, what happy event are you so happy about?"
Liu Qing carried the vegetable basket into the courtyard and couldn't help but ask when she heard Ye Jinxian's laughter.
"Xiao Qing is back. I'll make two more dishes tonight. I want to have a drink with Xiao Ming!"
Liu Qing smiled and said: "Okay, Xiao Ming, please sit with Uncle Jinxian for a while, and I'll cook right away!"
After dark, Liu Qing prepared a sumptuous dinner. Ye Ming poured a full glass of wine for his father, and then poured it for Liu Qing and Shen Miaoyin.
The four of them were changing cups and drinking, when a voice came from outside the courtyard.
"Is Ye Ming at home?"
Liu Qing put down her chopsticks and came to the door: "It's Agui, Xiao Ming is at home, come in quickly!"
Agui and Xiaochun entered the house with a smile. Ye Ming saw them carrying gift boxes in their hands and raised his eyebrows, thinking that these two people came to see him for something. This chapter has been completed!
