Chapter 241: Buying Sugar
Minghao quickly calmed down.
Everyone has an account in their hearts.
In her opinion, five or six cents a pound of brown sugar is transported back to Qingyun Town, not to mention the machinery factory, and it is not worried about selling it in the village alone.
Brown sugar is better packaged for New Year's gifts, boiled glutinous cakes, steamed sugar cakes......
If you sell it for a dollar and a catty, I'm afraid it's okay, right?
But from a woman's point of view, she sells sugarcane directly to the sugar factory, and the sugarcane is only sixty or seventy yuan a ton, and she has to cut it and send it over, and she can squeeze more than 200 catties of sugar for a ton, and even if she sells it for five cents a catty, it can cost more than 100 yuan.
With such a big price difference, it's no wonder that there are some sugarcane fields around this and there.
Take advantage of the slack to squeeze sugar yourself.
Labor is not worth much money in the countryside, and it is idle in winter anyway.
"Girl...... Are you going to buy sugar? The woman asked tentatively.
"We have to buy sugar from the sugar factory here, you see these sugarcane fields, in fact, many of them are also sent to the sugar factory, and it is okay to squeeze the sugar yourself, but no one buys it, right? That is, some relatives at home are farther away, send some, and exchange sugar for some things outside. ”
The woman has nothing to hide.
These things are easy to inquire about.
Ming Hao was also a little surprised, no one bought this closer, what about the farther?
However, the market economy has not yet been active, coupled with the influence of the early years, there are not many people who dare to do this kind of thing, otherwise they can develop so quickly?
As for going directly to the sugar factory to buy it yourself? Minghao didn't think about it at all.
These sugar factories, not to mention almost no private ones, produce sugar that has a corresponding price, and the remaining part after the completion of production can be priced by themselves, which can be regarded as following the market, but where do they have any money to make? Maybe there will be more procedures such as approving slips.
If you really buy it in large quantities from a sugar factory, you don't know what the trouble will be.
She won't admit that she has no capital now!
After gnawing on a section of sugarcane, he washed his hands in the small canal next to the ridge, shook the water droplets on his hands at will, pulled a handful of straw and sat down casually, and said: "Auntie, I won't hide it from you, I have eaten our home-squeezed brown sugar since I was a child, and white sugar doesn't taste like that!" The area of our factory, when my dad came back to visit relatives, it was very popular......"
"Yes, yes, can white sugar have the taste of our brown sugar? I still eat brown sugar during confinement! Big supplement! When the woman found resonance, she rejoiced.
No one dislikes their own things, it's not good, it's not.
Ming Hao said lightly: "Isn't it about the New Year?" Our factory is also going to issue benefits, and this matter has been contacted, but ...... I won't tell you the specifics, it's still a little worse, there happened to be a car in the factory, I don't want to come and buy it directly, it just so happens that everyone likes it. ”
"Really?!" A male voice rang out.
It scared Ming Hao.
Only then did she notice that a swarthy young man had emerged from the sugar cane field.
The young man looked about twenty-three or fourteen years old, not tall, with a somewhat dark skin, a square face, and some deep eye sockets, but his eyes were very attentive, and he was staring at Ming Hao with a pair of eyes at this time, with a faint expectation.
"Black boy, don't scare other girls." The woman said with a smile.
and introduced to Ming Hao that this is her son.
Ming Hao was a little surprised just now, mainly because he didn't expect a person to suddenly come out of the sugarcane field, and he was not scared.
She nodded, secretly happy in her heart, if this is a young man, who has the momentum and dares to take risks, it will definitely be easier to buy sugar, so she said Minghao: "Naturally it is true." ”
The young man glanced at Ming Hao again.
Mingkan looked at his cloth bag all the time, and he understood a little, and explained with a smile: "The car in the factory happened to be passing by, and when it was good here, we would transport it back, we were so far away, we couldn't just come over and buy these sugars, right?" ”
Doesn't it cost money to transport?
Only then did the young man grin, revealing his snow-white teeth, and he looked much more honest.
"How much is a pound?" He asked again.
Ming Hao didn't avoid this question, and at this point, it was almost done, she said: "You still have to see the goods." ”
A few people laughed.
When he saw the brown sugar stacked in baskets in one of the rooms, he smiled a little, something is always not so expensive in the production area.
The basket was covered with a layer of plastic paper, and a few wooden boards were padded underneath, and they were placed directly in the room at random.
However, when I opened the plastic packaging, there was still a sweet and greasy smell.
"This ......" Minghao's face was slightly embarrassed, this may be eaten at home, and I don't know what kind of tools are used when drying sugar, the thickness is different, the size is different, it is more like pouring it directly on the stone slab or what dustpan to dry at will, and then directly break it and install it.
"You also know, we are giving welfare, this look, it's not easy to distinguish, let alone look at ......" Ming Hao wanted to speak and stopped.
Seeing her situation, the young man was a little anxious, and said, "No, our brown sugar is all eaten by ourselves and given to relatives, or exchanged for some things, it's not so particular, the taste is real, you taste, taste?!" ”
Ming Hao didn't take much Jiao, and threw a piece into her mouth, but there was no bitter taste, and the heat of boiling sugar was also very good, which was richer than the handmade original brown sugar she had eaten before.
The woman and the young man looked at Ming Hao with anticipation on their faces.
Looking at their appearance, Ming Hao clapped his hands and made up his mind to say: "Auntie, Brother Blackboy, this is the first time I have met you when I go back to my hometown, and it is also the fate between us. ”
With the foreshadowing before, they thought that it was better to be good, but at this time, the woman's face was happy, and the young man was not dissatisfied.
After all, you can earn dozens of dollars more by squeezing a ton of sugarcane yourself.
Usually, if the sugarcane is not sent to the sugar factory, the so-called exchange of things, where can there be money and convenience.
After passing the scales on the spot, a few baskets totaled nearly 400 catties.
Nearly 200 dollars!
Ming Hao still kept an eye in the end, but only gave ten yuan to set the money.
"Brother Blackboy, this is a deposit, wait for the car in our factory to come, and then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other, do you think it's okay?"
"It should, it should!"
Ming Hao also breathed a sigh of relief, she is alone now, although the person in front of her looks quite kind, who knows if she will take a risk.
Wait for the truck to come, pay the money and take the goods and leave.
"My uncle has some over there, do you want more?" The youth asked again.
"Yes!"
