"Aunt Liu, when you pick strawberries every day, does anyone come over and ask about strawberries?"
Chen Dabao carefully observed the piece of stolen strawberries and estimated that hundreds of kilograms of strawberries had been stolen.
According to the price he sold to Huo Anni, hundreds of kilograms of strawberries cost three thousand yuan.
In Taohua Village, this is not a small sum of money.
This shows that the strawberry thieves came here to resell the strawberries, otherwise they wouldn’t have stolen so many.
"Why don't anyone ask, but there are people who ask. People passing by often ask a few questions!" Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Are any of these inquiring people suspicious?" Chen Dabao continued to ask.
"You can't tell!"
Aunt Liu and Zhang Aihua both shook their heads.
This is strange. Although Taohua Village is not a big strawberry planting village, there are many people who grow strawberries. If there is a grudge against Chen Dabao, it would be easier to crush a piece of strawberry, so why steal so many strawberries.
He stole so many strawberries, probably because he knew that Chen Dabao's strawberries were extraordinary.
But Chen Dabao never told the villagers about the strawberries.
No one in Taohua Village knew that his strawberries could be sold for thirty yuan a pound.
"Aunt Liu, Aunt Zhang, please don't make any noise about this matter. Just pretend you don't know and I'll handle it myself!" Chen Dabao thought about it for a moment. Since he was stealing strawberries and selling them for money, he would definitely not do it just this once.
He was going to catch this thief himself.
"Okay, Dabao, we listen to you!"
Aunt Liu and Zhang Aihua nodded. They had no idea. They could only do whatever Chen Dabao said.
Chen Dabao gave the instructions and turned around to go home for dinner.
Early in the morning, the Xianxian Fruit truck came to pick up strawberries as usual.
A figure was hiding in the dark and observing. Seeing that there was nothing unusual here, he quietly slipped back.
"Why are you squirming around if you don't sleep so early in the morning?"
At Li Youcai's house, he was leaning on a cane and looking impatient.
"You know what the heck, this is a good opportunity for our family to make a fortune!" Ma Jinlian stretched out her hand to scratch in her pants, then quietly took out a large frame of strawberries from the cellar and put it into the electric tricycle.
"You want to get rich with just a few boxes of rotten strawberries?"
Li Youcai sneered, too lazy to pay attention to this stupid woman.
"I told you that you know nothing!"
Ma Jinlian loaded several large frames of strawberries into the tricycle, covered it with a tarpaulin, went around to a remote road in the village, rode the tricycle to the town, and spent fifty yuan to take a ride. A ride in the van took her into town.
"Shengyuan Fruit!"
Ma Jinlian came to the fruit wholesale market and found a large fruit shop with five doors. She walked over with a smile on her face and said, "Boss, do you accept strawberries here?"
"No, no, no, we are fruit sellers, not fruit harvesters!" A staff member in the store looked impatient and didn't even look at Ma Jinlian.
"If you don't accept it, don't accept it. What's wrong? Whoever buys my strawberries will get rich!" Ma Jinlian muttered bitterly and turned around to leave.
She was very good in the village, but when she came to the city she didn't dare to act casually.
"What kind of strawberries do you have? They are so powerful. Whoever buys them will get rich?" Just then, a man in his forties or fifties walked out of the store.
This man was short in stature, with a bare forehead and a sinister face. He looked like he was not a good person at first glance.
He glanced at Ma Jinlian, revealing a squinting light. Ma Jinlian was just forty this year. She was not bad when she was young, and her charm is still there. Otherwise, the three brothers of the Zhao family would not be threshing grains a few years ago. It's time to play wild games with her.
"Boss, these are the strawberries from Taohua Village, the kind sold by Xianxian Fruit. Xianxian Fruit sells for fifty or sixty yuan per pound!"
Ma Jinlian said quickly.
"Do you also have the strawberries sold by Xianxian Fruit?"
Zhao Daqiang's expression changed and he walked over quickly.
Shengyuan Fruit has recently been preparing to seize the high-end fruit business. In the past few months, Zhao Daqiang opened another high-end fruit store called Golden Fruit.
But he can never compete with the fairy fruits.
Recently, the Golden Fruit business has become worse. When Zhao Daqiang inquired about it, he found out that Xianxian Fruit had started selling a so-called sweet strawberry.
The strawberries sold very well and had a good reputation. They also stimulated other fruit businesses, causing the business at Golden Fruit to plummet.
Zhao Daqiang was in a state of distress when he didn't expect Ma Jinlian to come to the door with strawberries.
"Yes, boss, please try it!"
Ma Jinlian quickly grabbed a few strawberries, rubbed them on her pants, and handed them to Zhao Daqiang.
Zhao Daqiang smiled. He saw that Ma Jinlian was good-looking and a good-looking woman must be clean, so he didn't dislike it and couldn't wait to stuff the strawberry into his mouth.
"It's really that kind of strawberry, it's exactly the same!" Zhao Daqiang tasted a few and his eyes lit up. If his golden fruit also had sweet strawberries, it would definitely be able to compete with the fairy fruit. "Beauty, How many strawberries do you have? How much do you want to sell them for per pound?"
"I'll charge you as much as you have!"
"real?"
Ma Jinlian smiled from ear to ear. She stretched out two fingers, hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively, "Boss, the fairy fruit sells for fifty-one pounds. Just give me forty-one pounds!"
"Fifty-one kilograms is the retail price, and the purchase price should not exceed twenty. In this way, this is our first cooperation, and I will give you twenty-one kilograms. How about I take as much as you have?"
Zhao Daqiang rolled his eyes and said.
"Twenty-one pounds is a bit cheap!" Ma Jinlian was a little hesitant at first, but then she thought about it, this is a business without capital, twenty-one pounds, if she can make dozens or hundreds of pounds in one day, isn't it? One or two thousand yuan.
One or two thousand a day, thinking about Ma Jinlian makes her legs weak.
"Okay, I've sold it to you, weigh it and see how much it is!"
Ma Jinlian hesitated for a while and then agreed. The retail price of ordinary strawberries is only 10 or 20 pounds per pound. She can sell them at this price wholesale.
"Quick, weigh me!"
Zhao Daqiang carefully picked out a few strawberries from each box and tasted them. After making sure that they were all sweet strawberries, he asked the waiter to weigh them and pay.
"It's ninety-six pounds in total. I'll count it as one hundred pounds for you. It's two thousand yuan. You count!"
Zhao Daqiang generously gave Ma Jinlian two thousand yuan, and the excited Ma Jinlian was filled with joy.
"Thank you, Boss Zhao, thank you, Boss Zhao!"
Ma Jinlian got the money, winked at Zhao Daqiang, and rubbed Zhao Daqiang's arms with her two lumps of flesh, which made Zhao Daqiang feel itchy.
"Sister Jinlian, after we finish getting the goods tomorrow, I'll treat you to dinner!" Zhao Daqiang felt that there was something exciting and couldn't wait to hint, "After dinner, let's go singing, and my brother will take you to have fun!"
"Oh, Brother Zhao, I am not just a casual person. Let's talk about it tomorrow!" Ma Jinlian let out a sweet voice and changed her name to Brother Zhao.
"Sister Jinlian, what you said is as if I'm a casual person. I'm not a casual person either, but I'm not a human being when I'm casual!"
Zhao Daqiang touched it and smiled.
