121: Chapter 121 Inexplicable Sadness 121: Chapter 121 Inexplicable Sadness Thirty yuan per catty, this price already sounds quite high at first, but in Wu Xiaoyu’s view, it is already considered a cheap sell.

You should know that this batch of native chickens, taken to big cities like Beijing and Shanghai, can sell for over a hundred yuan per catty and still be in short supply.

Compared to Daxin Village, although Longhe Town is very wealthy, looking nationwide, or even within the province and city, it’s not worth mentioning.

If you set an outrageous price, even dragon liver and phoenix marrow wouldn’t have many takers; thirty yuan per catty for purchasing, after a beautiful display by the chef, selling for fifty or sixty yuan would still be wildly popular in Stone Town.

After the two discussed the price of the native chickens, Zhou Dong turned his attention to Wu Xiaoyu’s mushrooms and asked, “Xiaoyu, do you have a lot of wild mushrooms in your village?”

Wu Xiaoyu originally planned to sell the mountain mushrooms to the restaurant as well, but the price of forty yuan per catty made him unsure of how to bring it up.

Seeing Zhou Dong bring it up, he naturally was overjoyed and laughed, “What’s up?

Interested in my mushrooms too?

Don’t be afraid to hear that my mushrooms are quite expensive!”

Zhou Dong found his mysterious manner amusing and joked, “Are your mushrooms made of gold?

Expensive?

How expensive could they be?”

“Forty yuan per catty, can you afford it?”

Forty yuan per catty?

Zhou Dong was stunned upon hearing this price; you must be kidding, it’s even more expensive than the native chickens!

“You’re saying you sold those mushrooms to Juxian Inn at forty yuan per catty?” Zhou Dong asked in disbelief.

Wu Xiaoyu, seeing his inexperienced look, laughed, “Yeah!

If it was just over ten yuan per catty, would I wake up early every day to deliver to town?

I’d be crazy!”

“Is the boss of Juxian Inn an idiot, getting ripped off by you like this?”

Wu Xiaoyu shouted, “Hey!

I’m not happy with that remark!

What do you mean ripped off?

You should know my mushrooms are wild, and freshly picked every day, forty yuan per catty is fair!”

“Our restaurant has been operating for so many years and has never bought mushrooms at forty yuan per catty?”

Wu Xiaoyu shook his head, with a look of disbelief, and said, “That’s why your restaurant is still just struggling in the county!”

“Do you know the Holy Land Hotel?

It’s the one in Sacred Land County; they have chain stores in the city and they’re all scrambling to buy my mushrooms!”

After hearing Wu Xiaoyu boast for a while, Zhou Dong said, “So the mushrooms on your mountain are extraordinary?

Last time at your house, I only focused on eating meat and didn’t get a chance to taste the mushrooms!”

Wu Xiaoyu closed the ledger and pushed it to him, saying, “You can go to Juxian Inn later and buy a basket of mushroom-filled buns to try!”

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu’s confident look, Zhou Dong knew those mushrooms were probably top-grade; moreover, his restaurant didn’t serve breakfast, so the demand for mushrooms wasn’t high, so he agreed:

“Alright, then, we’ll also buy mushrooms from you at forty yuan per catty, anyway, only a few dishes like chicken stew with mushrooms need them, you won’t gouge me too much!”

Hearing him say this, Wu Xiaoyu went even further, “If both the native chickens and mushrooms are from me, then will you handle the transport issue too?

Do you have the heart to see me pedaling a tricycle dozens of miles to deliver goods every day?”

Zhou Dong smiled helplessly and said, “Alright!

I give in.

From now on, let little Li go to your village every day to pick up the goods.

After all, we have an electric tricycle at the restaurant, it’s much easier than you pedaling a shabby one…”

Solving so many things at once, Wu Xiaoyu immediately felt a weight off his shoulders.

Feeding chickens, picking mushrooms, and delivering goods no longer required his effort; managing the restaurant didn’t need him either, all that was left was counting money.

Those two thousand chickens of his would bring in 300,000 yuan, even after deducting the farm costs, there would be a profit of 250,000 – 260,000 yuan, and this took less than two months.

Thinking about money, Wu Xiaoyu suddenly felt a tightness in his heart.

He was about to get rich, yet Li Yuqi dumped him precisely because of money, how ironic.

Li Yuqi…

humph!

One day, I will make you regret your decision.

A public company?

What’s so great about that, you short-sighted person!

Zhou Dong saw his sudden seriousness and was confused, asking, “Xiaoyu…

what’s wrong?

Is something not right?”

Only then did Wu Xiaoyu come back to his senses, forcing a smile, “It’s nothing, I just got dumped last night…”

As expected!

Zhou Dong was not surprised at all, encouragingly saying, “It’s no big deal!

Once we have money, women will come plenty, as many as you want!”

Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu gave a bitter smile.

Indeed, in everyone’s eyes, money can do anything.

The female staff cleaning nearby stifled their laughter at this remark.

After chatting a bit more, Wu Xiaoyu finally headed home.

Slowing down at the village entrance, as the villagers didn’t know about him and Li Yuqi, they still saw them as childhood sweethearts.

Passing through the village means having to endure some teasing; in the past, though he seemed angry on the surface, there was a hint of sweetness in his heart.

But now?

Only humiliation remains!

As he was about to speed through the stone bridge to quickly pass the villagers, he encountered Niu Qiang and Bai Hong, who were carrying baskets, seemingly having just come from the fields.

Bai Hong, after staying at Niu Qiang’s house for a few days, gradually gained his mother’s favor due to her diligence and sensibleness.

And the villagers, after interacting with this girl, also found her quite nice, calling her sweet names, like aunt and sister, so naturally, they stopped gossiping about her.

“Xiaoyu, delivering goods again?” Niu Qiang shouted from afar.

Wu Xiaoyu gave a bitter smile in his heart, pedaling closer, he smiled and said, “Yeah!

Delivering goods, you two, busy with the fields?”

He deliberately emphasized “busy,” leaving room for imagination.

Niu Qiang knew he was being teased, but instead of retorting, he joked back, “Yeah!

Busy in the fields, when are you and Li Yuqi going to be busy in the fields too?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Hong quietly pinched Niu Qiang’s waist and walked away alone.

Wu Xiaoyu, however, was hit in a sore spot, forced a smile, and said, “I have something to do, I’m leaving!”

Niu Qiang rubbed his waist, puzzledly watching Wu Xiaoyu’s departing figure.

Wasn’t it just a joke?

Why get angry?
