Chapter 379: 1,000 RMB per Catty?


Translator: Lonelytree


“Lhave no idea peanut oil can smell so delicious!” Xiao Jingyang closed his eyes and sniffed. “Peanut oil is normally very fragrant. It is why they are sold at a high price on the market. However, I still think our peanut oil smells the best.”


“That’s right.” Others echoed.


However, Grandma Xiao asked, “Yu ‘Er, isn’t the price a bit too high?”


The market price was 10 RMB per catty, but they were selling it for 50 RMB per catty.


It was four times more expensive.


“It’s not expensive, sister,” Grandpa Gong was the Xiao Family’s guest that day. He immediately corrected Grandma Xiao. “You get what you pay for. Our family’s peanut oil is worth even more.”


In the capital, they should be able to sell the peanut oil for 500 RMB per catty, much less 50 RMB per catty. The capital had many rich people. They valued enjoyment more than anything. They didn’t care about the price. In fact, the pricier something was, the more they would be drawn to it.


Old Master Gong continued, “At our place, you can sell this peanut oil for at least 500 RMB per catty. It’s a shame that you plan to sell it in this small town.”


When he said this, Old Master Gong felt a little regretful.


Suddenly, he thought of something. He stared at Xiao Lingyu and said with a smile, “Yu ‘Er, why don’t you let me sell the peanut oil for you?”


Xiao Lingyu, “…”


Old Master Gong had a noble status, but he wanted to be a peanut oil seller?


Xiao Lingyu instantly felt a wave of horror.


Just as Xiao Lingyu was about to refuse, Old Master Gong said, “I’ve been eating for free from the Xiao Family. I have to do something, or I feel so guilty.”


Xiao Zhengyang immediately said, “Old Master, why would you say that? We always welcome you!”


Old Master Gong waved his hand and said, “We haven’t paid for anything, so we’re leeching off you.”


As he said this, he even rolled his eyes at Gong Tianhao. If there was the biggest leech, it was Gong Tianhao.


Gong Tianhao, “…” Indeed, he hadn’t thought about paying the Xiao Family. And he had been spending his every day with the Xiao Family.


Old Master Gong continued, “So, give us this opportunity to make it up to your family.”


The Xiao Family, low could they reject him?


Before the Xiao Family could say anything, Old Master Gong made a decision and said, “It’s settled then. Tianhao, I’ll leave this matter to you.”


“..” Gong Tianhao nodded and replied, “Alright, Grandfather!” He didn’t even need to do much to sell this oil. All he needed to do was to leave it to his subordinates.


However, Gong Tianhao couldn’t imagine how the people of the capital would feel once they knew he was selling peanut oil.


Xiao Lingyu was also surprised at how quickly Old Master Gong had made his decision.


However, she couldn’t imagine Gong Tianhao selling peanut oil…


Xiao Lingyu stole a glance at Gong Tianhao suspiciously.


Gong Tianhao caught Xiao Lingyu’s teasing smile. He raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Then, he lowered his head and whispered to Xiao Lingyu, “Yu Er, do you want to see me as a salesman? Don’t worry. You’ll have the chance to see it in the future.”


A glint flashed across Gong Tianhao’s eyes.


He would make this happen.


When Xiao Lingyu heard this, she was a little confused. However, Xiao Lingyu did not think too much about it.


After many years, Xiao Lingyu finally understood what Gong Tianhao meant.


Role-playing… Of course, these were stories for the future.


“Oh, right, Zhengyang, your rice is really fragrant.”Old Master Gong seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, “I want to buy some rice too.”


“Old Master, there’s no need to buy. You can just bring some home.” Xiao Zhengyang smiled and said.


“That won’t do.” Old Master Gong shook his head firmly and said, “We’re already free-loading off your family. How can we take more stuff from you? Tell me, how much do you sell your rice for?”


The Xiao family collected four to five thousand catties of grain on three Mu of land.


The Xiao family had a lot of people now, and sometimes they would hire people to work. They needed to feed these people too.


Hence, Xiao Zhengyang didn’t plan to sell these grains. Therefore, he had not set the price.


Xiao Zhengyang thought for a moment and said, “Old Master, I can’t think of a price. We’re already a family. There’s no need for buying and selling.”


‘When he heard the words ‘family’, Old Master Gong smiled. He said, “Even within the family, we have to keep the account clear.”


Gong Tianhao really wanted to cover his face.


His grandfather enjoyed the best status in the capital. However, after he came to Taoyuan Village, he became so assimilated that he could discuss the purchase of grains with the Xiao Family. Speaking of, Gong Tianhao knew that the grains would taste unusually fragrant like the other crops.


“..”. Xiao Zhengyang said with a smile, “Alright then. We’ll sell the rice for 1.6 RMB per catty. That is the market price.”


“No, that is too cheap.” Old Master Gong rejected without thinking. “Others might not know this, but I do! Your crops are all wonderful. They can’t be bought at the market price.”


The Xiao Family,


Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, “…”


Old Master Gong must have too much money because he insisted on buying the stuff from the Xiao Family at a very high price. The previous example was the strawberries. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang believed that Old Master Gong was definitely the grandfather who managed to scam his grandson the


most.


Of course, Old Master Gong had his own plan. He was trying to improve the relationship between the two families. Grandfather Gong asked Xiao Lingyu directly, “Xiao Yu, how much do you think your rice is worth? Don’t tell me it’s only worth 1 RMB per catty. I don’t believe you.” Old Master Gong knew


that it was Xiao Lingyu who set the price for all the crops sold by the Xiao Family.


Xiao Lingyu’s eyes flashed, then she said, “Alright, five RMB a catty then.”


Old Master Gong was so serious about this small matter. He must have thought it was fun. The old master appeared to have become younger after he came to Taoyuan Village. He was already 80 years old, but he became more childlike after he came to the village.


By now, Xiao Lingyu knew that Old Master Gong really liked her and not just for the child in her stomach. He was an amiable old master.


Old Master Gong had no objection to the price. Even though for him, the price was still too low. However, in the countryside, 5 RMB per catty of rice was a price unheard of!


Old Master Gong bought the peanut oil from the Xiao Family. But it was Gong Tianhao who would handle the actual oil selling, Of course, he wouldn’t be out there personally selling the oil either.


1,500 catties of peanuts extracted more than 600 catties of peanut oil. The ratio was too high. On average, 1 catty of peanuts could only extract 2 taels of oil. However, the Xiao Family’s peanuts extracted 4 taels of oil for a catty of peanuts.


Xiao Lingyu kept 100 catties of peanut oil for herself. She planned to gift them to her friends.


Gu Ziye’s group, Uncle Chen, Grandma Song, and so on, Xiao Lingyu didn’t forget the people who had helped her.


Of course, if Gu Ziye wanted to order the peanut oil for his hotel, that would be discussed separately. Business was business.


‘When these people received Xiao Lingyu’s peanut oil, they started to drool. They wanted to drink the oil directly. But they were still sensible. This was oil and not water.


After that, Gong Tianhao had his people transport the remaining 500 catties of peanut oil away… using a helicopter.


Xiao Lingyu, “…” Isn’t this a bit much?


Two hours later, at Imperial Group, Li Yuanhang frowned when he walked in and saw his office filled with peanut oil.


He looked at Li Wendong and asked with shock and surprise, “Are you saying that Gong Tianhao wants me to sell all this oil?”


Li Wendong looked at Li Yuanhang, who was frowning and felt a little sympathetic.


He nodded and said, “Yes, CEO Li, that’s what the big boss said.”


Li Yuanhang sighed. “These oil hasn’t passed through inspection. They don’t even have packaging. There is no manufacturer’s label, sanitation license, and all the basic stuff. And he wants me to sell all of them?”


But the biggest problem was… Li Yuanhang was the Special Assistant at Imperial Group. How could he go out into the streets to sell peanut oil? If people found out, they would laugh their heads off.


Li Wendong expressed his sympathy. But, the matter still had to be solved.


Li Wendong said, “Director Li, this is no ordinary oil. This is peanut oil produced by that person from Taoyuan Village…”


‘When Li Yuanhang heard Li Wendong mention that person, he immediately wiped his face and said in despair, “I knew it was that person. Whenever that person is involved, Gong Tianhao will become stupid. Now, he wants me to do something as stupid as going around to ask people to buy peanut oil.”


“…” Li Wendong felt pity for him and comforted him, “Director Li, don’t be discouraged. You know that this is no ordinary peanut oil. You don’t have to go door to door to promote it. You can just make a few phone calls.”


Li Yuanhang’s eyes lit up, and he said, “That’s right. I can distribute these oils to the company worker. Hell, I can ask them to buy from me. They will disappear immediately!”


In fact, some workers would buy the entire 500 catties to please Li Yuanhang.


Li Wendong looked at Li Yuanhang with a strange expression and said, “Director Li, the Big Boss said that this peanut oil has to be sold for at least 1,000 RMB per catty. So he expects an income of 500,000 RMB from them, not one single cent less.”


Li Yuanhang, “…”


Gong Tianhao is trying to kill me! 1000 RMB per catty? Why doesn’t he go and rob the bank? No, he’s asking me to rob the bank for him! What kind of peanut oil can sell for 1000 RMB per catty? Are they pumped with gold flakes?


Even the most expensive peanut oil on the market only went for 200 RMB per 5-liter barrel. In other words, it was 20 RMB per catty. But now Gong Tianhao wanted him to sell the peanut oil for 1000 RMB per catty.


Li Yuanhang really wanted to roll his eyes. He had no idea what Gong Tianhao was thinking.


At this time, Li Wendong walked over and unscrewed a bottle cap.


Instantly, the entire room was filled with fragrance.


Li Yuanhang’s eyes immediately widened into a big circle. He felt very incredulous.


He turned to Li Wendong with a puzzled expression and asked, “Is.. is this peanut oil?”


Li Wendong nodded expressionlessly. “Of course, it’s peanut oil.”


“But is peanut oil normally this fragrant?” Li Yuanhang asked with uncertainty.


Li Wendong rolled his eyes and said, “Of course, ordinary peanut oil isn’t that fragrant.


“However, this kind of peanut oil was produced by that person. That person has always managed to produce the most incredible crop.


“We have been tasting the vegetables she sent over. If we sell those products at the capital, they will go for a very high price.”


As he said this, Li Wendong moved his nose closer to the opened bottle cap, sniffed it, and then turned it back. He continued, “Director Li, based on the quality of this peanut oil, we can sell this peanut oil to the wealthy circle in the capital. They won’t think 1000 per catty is expensive.”


Li Yuanhang fell into deep thoughts.


Outside Li Yuanhang’s office, it became lively.


“Why is it suddenly so fragrant?”


“That’s right. I also smell a fragrance. It smells much better than our perfume.”


“I think so too.”


“The question is, where did this fragrance come from?”


After that, someone with a sensitive nose followed the fragrance and found the source of the fragrance.


Then, she said in surprise, “This fragrance is coming from special assistant Li’s office.”


“Huh? Is Special Assistant Li eating some delicious food inside?”


“But we didn’t see him carry any food with him.”


“Oh, right, I saw a few men in black carrying some barrels into the office just now. I don’t know what they contain.”


“Tt smells so good. I can’t control myself. I will knock and see what kind of delicacy Special Assistant Li is hiding from us.” One of the secretaries said..
