Su Yi waited by the car for a while, and sure enough, she saw the guy named Jiang Yuan running over quickly.
Behind him was a guy riding a tricycle, loaded with a whole cart of bananas.
Jiang Yuan arrived, and without a word, broke off a banana and handed it to her, “This is my brother Liuzi, you try it.”
Su Yi took it and looked at it. The banana peel was already covered with dense black spots, not very appealing.
But after taking a bite, the taste was still good.
“How much do you sell these bananas for?”
“To be honest, our cost is at least one yuan, and we sell them for one yuan and two cents per pound. We can’t sell them higher than that.”
Su Yi paused, “Then your business isn’t very profitable. Is this your first time importing bananas?”
Liuzi, upon hearing this, immediately started pouring out his woes, “That’s right, when we brought them in from the south, they were still green and shiny. It’s only been a few days, and the bananas are already turning black.”
“I only make two cents, and I have to put in so much effort. Even then, I can’t sell them.”
Su Yi secretly clicked her tongue, thinking, this little brother isn’t very bright.
Jiang Yuan also awkwardly twitched his mouth, “My brothers are all like me, the biggest advantage is being honest and not telling lies.”
“But you just tasted the banana, the skin might be a bit black, but the inside is still perfectly fine.”
Taking advantage of their conversation, Su Yi quietly tore off a bit of the peel and threw it into the space.
Then, she quietly took it back out.
Upon looking down, the banana peel soaked in the spiritual spring water did indeed, as she had guessed, return to its golden yellow color.
With this, Su Yi felt reassured.
“One yuan is too expensive, I can’t afford that price.”
“We didn’t plan to sell it to you at that high price. We’re not expecting to make money, just consider it as paying for a lesson. We’ll sell it to you for fifty cents per pound!”
“Fifty cents is still too expensive! If you can’t sell these bananas, who knows what condition they’ll be in when I take them out of town.”
“Then 40 cents, because I have a bunch more at home.”
“Two cents!”
Liuzi looked at Jiang Yuan incredulously, his heart aching so much he almost cried, “She’s eating the banana without spitting out the peel, she’s too ruthless.”
Su Yi chuckled, “You clearly know I’m taking them out of town to sell, and you clearly know that if you can’t sell these bananas, they’ll rot in your hands, and you still want me to take them off your hands. Aren’t you being ruthless?”
Jiang Yuan laughed and tried to smooth things over, “We’re business partners in the future, so let’s not talk about ruthlessness. How about we meet in the middle at 30 cents!”
“Alright! 30 cents it is.”
Seeing this, Su Yi also agreed, “I’ll take the whole cart, but you’ll have to help me deliver it to the guest house.”
“Sure!”
Su Yi put the things she had just bought on the tricycle as well, and followed Liuzi to the guest house.
Jiang Yuan looked back, wanting to ask Su Yi’s name and phone number, but afraid of being slapped in the face again.
He was so anxious he stomped his feet.
Over there, Su Yi returned to the guest house, just in time to catch the receptionist going to eat.
She quickly asked Liuzi to carry everything upstairs to the second floor.
Once Liuzi got his money and left, Su Yi closed the door and immediately put everything into the space.
Then she also slipped into the space.
The spiritual spring was bubbling up in the space, the air filled with the mist of spiritual spring water.
Not only could ordinary food be preserved and kept warm, but even bananas with black spots could be restored to their golden yellow color.
She peeled one and took a bite, and even the taste seemed to be sweeter than before.
Su Yi happily ate the banana, her heart couldn’t help but think, if Xiaowu and Nuannuan were here, they would love it too!
It was just too bad that she wouldn’t be able to go back until after the New Year!
Just as she thought this, she heard someone knocking on the door.
Su Yi quickly went to the door and asked, “Who is it?”
“It’s the front desk, someone outside is looking for you.”
Su Yi was surprised, she didn’t know anyone here.
Could it be the big brother who sold the bananas earlier?
She quickly replied and ran to the window to take a look, and it was actually Zhou Jinchuan who had returned?
Su Yi was just thinking about how to get the two children to eat the bananas sooner, and then she saw Zhou Jinchuan, and was immediately overjoyed.
She quickly ran down, “Commander Zhou, how did you get here?”
Zhou Jinchuan watched her run down happily, his lips also involuntarily curving upwards –
“I finished my business early, and I thought it would be bad for you to go back empty-handed, so I bought some things for you to take home.”
He said, and then pulled out a bunch of things from the car.
Looking at the large and small bags of things, Su Yi quickly stopped him, “Really, no need. I bought some things too, you should take them back and use them yourself.”
[Heh, a bunch of people who would eat you up and spit out your bones. Giving them anything is like throwing a meat bun to a dog, a waste of good things.]
Before, Su Yi didn’t talk much about her family.
Zhou Jinchuan only knew vaguely that her family favored sons over daughters and wasn’t kind to her.
But he didn’t expect it to be this bad.
His face turned slightly pale at the moment, “You, are you really alright going back alone?”
Su Yi pursed her lips and smiled, “I’m going back to my own home, why wouldn’t I be alright?”
[Anyway, it’s the last time. If they dare to make me unhappy, then their whole family won’t be happy either..]
Zhou Jinchuan lowered his eyes, “Take these things. It’ll be easier to give some things to the village chief when you go to handle things later.”
Su Yi looked at him in surprise, as if she couldn’t believe she had heard him say something like giving gifts.
But after a moment of thought, she took them, “Alright, I’ll take them first. I’ll see what happens then.”
Then, she remembered the bananas in her space, “By the way, Commander Zhou, wait for me a moment. I also bought some things earlier, you can take them back.”
She said, and was about to carry the things upstairs.
Zhou Jinchuan saw this and directly took the things from her, “I’ll help you carry them up, and take the things down at the same time.”
Su Yi was stunned for a moment, “Alright then.”
The receptionist at the front desk saw Zhou Jinchuan in his military uniform, carrying so many things.
So they didn’t say anything.
The two of them had just gone upstairs when Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin stepped into the guest house.
“Yunfeng, look, isn’t that Commander Zhou and Su Yi? How come they’re going upstairs together?”
Qin Yunfeng also looked at the two backs in disbelief, “Maybe he’s helping Su Yi carry things upstairs. Yes, that must be it. Look, they’re still carrying so many things. Let’s hurry up and check in.”
Bai Ruolin thought about the things the two of them were carrying, and couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger.
Su Yi, that woman, is just a pauper!
All those good things were bought for her by Zhou Jinchuan!
Vixen!
Su Yi didn’t know that Qin Yunfeng and Bai Ruolin also stayed in this guest house.
As soon as the two of them entered, she took advantage of Zhou Jinchuan’s time to put things away, and quickly took out a large bunch of bananas from the space.
“Commander Zhou, I found these bananas in the city when I was shopping. I brought them back for Xiaowu and Nuannuan to eat.”
Zhou Jinchuan raised his eyebrows.
It was indeed something bought for the two children, there was nothing for him.
After giving the bananas, Su Yi quickly rummaged through her bag, “Wait a minute, there’s more.”
Zhou Jinchuan coughed lightly, “No hurry.”
Then he watched Su Yi take out a bunch of headbands and hair clips, “It’s almost the New Year, it’s better to put these on Nuannuan earlier, to make her happy.”
Zhou Jinchuan:……
