This made Xia Ran eager to make some moves, and she found that she was getting bolder and bolder.

Xia Ran was wondering if she should get involved. The Russians were in serious need of food and clothing, so she could get some. Although it was a bit dangerous, the return rate was high, which was tempting enough.

She decided to collect the local potatoes, cabbages, radishes, apples, vermicelli, etc. These things are very, very cheap in the local area.

Anyway, she has the space to store it. She should get a driver's license first and learn some Russian, just in case it comes in handy.

Once this idea came into my mind, I couldn't stop it. Xia Ran's heart suddenly seemed to grow like grass, and it began to grow wildly. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this thing could be done.

He returned to the stall and asked someone to help him find Chen Qianjin and let him do the task of collecting potatoes and vermicelli since he was free anyway.

"You don't need to lower the price to the common people. Just buy at the highest price in the market. Buy from the nearby villages first. Spread the word and have them deliver the goods to your house. Then you bring them to me in truckloads and bags. Let that family work with you. You collect the potatoes and vermicelli, and let them collect the cabbages, radishes, onions and the like. If there are walnuts and sunflower seeds, you collect them all. I'll pay for the fuel for the tractor, and give you 6 yuan per truckload. Do you want to do it?"

"Yes, yes, I will. How about cabbage? Do you want some? Many people have planted a lot of them and stored them in the cellar. They can't even eat them all."

There are a lot of people in Potato Village. Including the time for loading and unloading, it is no problem for him to make five trips a day and earn at least 30 yuan a day.

"Yes. Also, tell the aunt who makes vinegar that I'll buy all her vinegar. When you come back later, buy me some white plastic square jugs to store the vinegar. And tell her to continue making vinegar. I'll also need the rest." He took out 1000 yuan and gave it to Chen Qianjin. "Keep it for now. If you run out of money, keep asking me for more."

"Good, good, good."

At present, a pound of potatoes will not cost more than 3 cents, and a ton will cost at most 60 yuan. Cabbage is even cheaper, estimated to be no more than 2 cents.

Sunflower seeds, walnuts and vermicelli are more expensive, and now the price ranges from 7 cents to 1 yuan.

"Also, ask whose pigs are ready to be slaughtered, and then kill them and ship them over to me. Go with the current market price, choose the higher one, not the lower one. There are people who want pork in the market. Kill my pig as well. Whoever takes over this business, ask them to ask the second son's wife for the key, clean it up for me, and ship it over together."

She almost forgot about the pork. No, she had to run to the market to get more beef and mutton into the space. Whether she kept it for herself or sold it, it was both a rare and good thing.

The beef and mutton here tastes especially good, not fishy at all, which is incomparable to other places.

"Okay, no problem. Then I'll take a look at the pigs and negotiate a price. I'll kill them all the day before you leave and ship them to you. Do you want all the meat? Or should I leave the heart, liver, lungs, large and small intestines, tripe, and pig's trotters to the butcher?"

Xia Ran thought for a moment and said, "Take them all. Pay someone to clean the large and small intestines, pig's trotters, and pig's heads. Rinse them with water first, then wash them with alkaline noodles, and then rub them with cornmeal to wash them thoroughly. Make sure they are washed thoroughly."

Xia Ran doesn't really like to eat these things, except for pig's trotters. But since other people like to eat them, she'll keep them.

"Where's the pig's blood?"

"I don't want the pig's blood. I don't have time to get it. Whoever wants it can take it. By the way, spread the word that I'm buying pig's trotters at the market price. Anyone who sends them here, please help collect them all."

Villagers don’t like to eat pig’s trotters, thinking that they have no meat and are not economical, so they usually sell them to butchers at extremely low prices.

"Okay, I got it." Chen Qianjin left with a big grin. He had said that it would do no harm to hang around Jianguo more often, and now the benefits have come.

He heard his son Chuanzi bragging that they had meat for every meal recently, and they were allowed to eat as much as they wanted. They also had roasted sweet potatoes to eat. Damn, the food was too good.

Real name envy.

Xia Ran also needs to get some canned food, but unfortunately there is no canning factory in the local county. I will call Shi Guangming tomorrow to ask, there should be one in the city, and by the way, ask if there is soap, toothpaste or something like that.

Before it got dark, Xia Ran went to the shops selling beef and mutton in the vegetable market. These shops were all run by Hui people, and only they could get cheap and good meat.

These shops have been open for many years. Xia Ran went to the shop where she had bought meat twice before. The owner's surname was Ma, and he actually recognized her. Maybe there were fewer Han people buying beef and mutton at this time, so the meat in their shop was basically prepared for their compatriots.

Xia Ran directly ordered 100 sheep and 2000 kilograms of beef. After skinning and cleaning a sheep, it only weighs more than 20 kilograms. The price agreed upon was 1 yuan per kilogram, and the beef was 4 yuan per kilogram, the wholesale price.

She also paid a deposit and asked the other party to write a receipt, which clearly indicated the quantity and freshness of the goods. If the quality was poor, she could refuse to accept the goods.

Boss Ma casually asked, "Do you want donkey meat? I know someone at the slaughterhouse in the county. I can get it cheaper."

"How much does it cost per pound?"

"Donkey meat is cheap. If you want more, I estimate they can sell it for about 1 yuan. They kill the donkeys on a daily basis, store them in cold storage, and then transport them to other places via refrigerated trucks, which costs more."

"Okay, let's go check it out first. Will you take me there?"

"Okay," Boss Ma called his brother-in-law next door to help him look after the store temporarily, and the two of them each rode a bicycle towards the slaughterhouse in the county town.

"Boss Ma, I hope that the goods you supply me are all fresh and high-quality. This time is just a test. If the goods are good enough, I will not change suppliers in the future and will buy all from you. I am shipping this goods to other places, so you can't let me down."

"Boss Xia, don't worry. My Ma family has lived here for generations, and this business has been passed down for generations. Have you ever seen me cheat anyone? The people who come here are all regular customers, and our sheep and cattle are all brought from my brothers in another branch and slaughtered right after. We won't do anything that would bring shame to our ancestors."

"Yeah, I understand. I'm just used to saying ugly things up front. Let's be mean first and gentlemen later. If this cooperation is pleasant, we can have countless next times. If this cooperation is unpleasant, it will be a one-time deal. These goods are only about 6000 yuan at most. I think you should know how to choose between eating once and eating countless times."

"Boss Xia, I know. Don't worry. I also want to do long-term business with you. Although the retail price is high, it is slow to ship. We are all doing business, so we will definitely give priority to wholesale, which saves us trouble."

"Correct."
