Chapter 3 Selling Corn
People in Dongwan Village are relatively poor and generally do not have transportation.
It is really difficult for Zhang Liang to transport the corn to the town.
However, Zhang Liang remembered the rich man Wang Dafu in the village. Wang Dafu had a tractor at home. If he could borrow a tractor from Wang Dafu, he could easily transport the corn to the town.
Zhang Liang is very confident about these corns. As long as he tastes these corns, anyone will fall in love with its taste.
If this corn could be sold, Zhang Liang would have made his first pot of gold.
He came to Wang Dafu's house and smiled and shouted, "Uncle Wang, are you at home?"
Wang Dafu, who heard the sound, walked out and saw that it was Zhang Liang. He said lightly: "Oh, who do I think I am? It turned out to be Liangzi, the first college student in our village. Liangzi, after studying and coming back to farm, do you feel okay?"
Wang Dafu and Zhang Liang's father were not in the way. He had pursued Zhang Liang's mother back then, but was rejected. He didn't like Zhang Liang's family. Later, he felt even more jealous when he saw Zhang Liang being admitted to university.
Later, Wang Dafu saw Zhang Liang coming back to farm after going to college. He was very happy. When he saw Zhang Liang, he would say a few sarcastic words. Zhang Liang thought of something to ask him today, so he endured it and took the initiative to send him a cigarette.
"Uncle Wang, I want to carry some corn to the town. I'm not thinking about Uncle Wang, do you have a tractor? I want to borrow a tractor from you to take things to the town. Uncle Wang, can you lend me the tractor?" Zhang Liang asked.
"Ryozi, I'm so embarrassed. I'll just use a tractor in the field later. I still have a lot of work today. Also, my tractor has many problems and loud noises. You may have problems when you drive halfway through the road. At that time, you will be in the wilderness and you will not be in the village or the shop behind you, which will be even more dangerous.
If something happens to you, I will feel even more guilty." Wang Dafu said.
After hearing Wang Dafu's words, Zhang Liang frowned. This guy didn't want to borrow it at all.
"Uncle Wang, are you really unwilling to borrow?" Zhang Liang said.
"Ryozi, what are you saying? I'm not willing to borrow it. I've already told you all the questions. Why don't you get a bicycle and take it here? I have it here." Wang Dafu said, pointing to the corner of the wall.
Zhang Liang looked over and saw a rusty bicycle in the corner of the wall at a glance.
Not to mention riding this bike, it is difficult to push even if it is pushed.
So, Zhang Liang was too lazy to pay attention to this guy, so he turned around and left.
On the way, he met his playmate Xu Hu, who had been a child since he was a child. Xu Hu greeted Zhang Liang: "Brother Liang, where are you going? I went to your house yesterday and didn't meet you."
"Huzi, what a coincidence today. Come on, I'll give you a corn, and you can go back and steam it. I have something to do, so I'll take it away first." Zhang Liang gave Xu Hu a corn and was about to walk away.
But Xu Hu grabbed Zhang Liang: "Brother Liang, what are you going to do? I'll accompany you?"
"I'm going to get a trolley and push these twenty or so corn to the town to sell." Zhang Liang said.
"I have a trolley at home, and I just happen to have nothing else to do. Let's go together." Xu Hu said.
After saying that, the two carried the corn to Xu Hu's house. After they changed into a trolley, they took turns pushing the corn to the town. The road to the town was five kilometers, and they walked for two hours with the corn.
There were many people in the town, and Zhang Liang and the others pushed the corn as thick as their arms, which still attracted a lot of attention.
But Zhang Liang didn't care at all. He walked to a restaurant and promoted corn to the boss: "Boss, do your restaurant need a new variety of corn? This is what I just cultivated, and it is very delicious, only this one. If your restaurant uses the corn I cultivated and the customers will definitely like it after eating it, then your restaurant's business will get better and better."
"This corn variety is rare. How do you plan to sell it?" asked the boss.
"A corn weighs fifteen kilograms, so the price of a corn is 300 yuan." Zhang Liang said.
"A corn is sold for 300 yuan? You might as well grab it." The boss said angrily.
"Boss, since I sell this price, there is naturally a reason. It is worth it, you will know if you buy it." Zhang Liang said.
Unfortunately, in the eyes of the restaurant owner, Zhang Liang is just a liar.
"Come, drive them out for me." The boss said.
Before Zhang Liang could continue to persuade him, the boss asked the employees to blow them out. Zhang Liang was not discouraged, but continued to look for a restaurant.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, especially if it is even more difficult to sell such expensive corn.
No one has tasted corn yet, so they naturally don’t spend a lot of money to buy it.
"It's not a solution to continue like this." Zhang Liang said, "We must find a restaurant with a higher level. In this way, they will be willing to spend money."
Zhang Liang soon saw the most luxurious restaurant in the town, Xianghai Restaurant.
"Let's go in." Zhang Liang said, holding some corn and Xu Hu were about to walk in.
The security guard at the door stopped them: "What are you doing? Not everyone can enter the kitchen of our restaurant. You two are strangers, so you cannot enter."
"No, it was asked by the chef to send us here. Don't stop us, otherwise, how can you explain to the chef later?" Zhang Liang said seriously.
Seeing what Zhang Liang said seriously, the security guard was stunned.
"It's OK to go in, but don't stay for too long." said the security guard.
Zhang Liang and Xu Hu moved the corn in. After putting down the things, Xu Hu gave Zhang Liang a thumbs up.
The people in the kitchen looked over, and they looked at the corn beside Zhang Liang and Xu Hu with some curiosity.
"Hello, please ask where is the chef? We have brought the corn he ordered us to send." Zhang Liang said.
"Have the chef told you? We have never heard of it." A chef said.
"Of course there is, this is what the chef directly ordered us." Zhang Liang said.
"Okay, go straight ahead and turn right to the end." Someone said.
"Thank you." Zhang Liang agreed, then picked up a corn and walked inside. Xu Hu followed him.
The chef was looking at the information in the office, but when he saw someone pushing open the door, he looked over and saw that they were two strangers. He couldn't help but be stunned: "What are you?" (To be continued)
