Since the boy was smart and would not be fooled, Bajie canceled his plan to buy mushrooms at a very low price.
He pointed to the big bamboo basket and said, "There are several kinds of mushrooms in your basket. We will buy them according to the type."
Chen Jianmin nodded and said, "Indeed, Brother Bajie is a trustworthy person just as Uncle Li Chenmo said."
Upon hearing Li Chenmo’s name, Bajie asked in surprise, "Little brother, do you know brother Li Chenmo?"
"Well, I am the best friend of Uncle Li’s children. I often go to their house to play. These mushrooms were picked with Ah Li and Ah Huang," Chen Jianmin nodded.
Seeing that this boy knew Li Chenmo’s children so well, Bajie’s face instantly changed and a smile appeared on his face.
He patted Chen Jianmin on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, you should have told me earlier. In this way, we can save more time with pleasantries."
"Since we are a family, then you sell all of the mushrooms to me and I will give you 18 yuan per kilogram," he added, patting his chest.
When Chen Jianmin heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He knew that fresh mushrooms were more expensive than dried mushrooms because, despite being sold at the same price, they were much heavier.
In state-owned supply stores, a kilogram of dried mushrooms sells for 20 yuan. If sold to a supply store, the maximum price is 11 yuan per kilogram. Therefore, the price given by Houzi’s men is indeed much higher.
When Bajie saw that the boy was silent, he thought he was dissatisfied with the price. He sighed and thought, ’No wonder this boy has a close relationship with Brother Li’s family. He looks so much like my sister-in-law when negotiating prices!’
Before Chen Jianmin agreed to the price, he heard Bajie say, "20 yuan per kilogram! I can’t give you more, otherwise we won’t make anything."
Although Chen Jianmin was surprised by his words, his face remained calm. He looked at him with a smile and nodded, "Thank you, brother."
Now that an agreement was reached, Bajie quickly weighed the mushrooms and counted the money.
"A total of 17.7 kilograms, 354 yuan. I will round up to 360 yuan for you," he said and handed over a wad of money.
Chen Jianmin took the money and said, "Thank you, brother. Then I won’t disturb you."
Before Chen Jianmin left, Bajie said, "Little brother, if you have more mushrooms in the future, give them to this family. Someone will come to pick your mushrooms and give you money."
"Okay." Chen Jianmin nodded.
After he left, Bajie checked the mushrooms and said with a smile, "This batch of fresh mushrooms is very good. One kilogram can be sold for 50 yuan."
"I don’t know. But he was very good-looking. As soon as I saw him I thought he was a girl," Bajie said after thinking for a moment. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
