Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Make Big Money, Make Big Money

"We cut a bit of meat up on the mountain to taste for freshness," Chiang Xiao, seeing Ma Jincai’s gaze fall on the wild boar hind leg, explained with a giggle.

As soon as she said this, Ma Jincai and the two workers all smiled kindly.

It was perfectly normal for the young lady to crave meat. By stating it so openly and confidently, she came across as both generous and endearing to them.

Ma Jincai couldn’t resist teasing her, "Was it delicious, then?"

Chiang Xiao nodded vigorously: "Delicious, so flavorful! We didn’t even add any seasoning, the meat was so fresh it almost melted on my tongue!"

This made their mouths water almost immediately.

Ma Jincai clapped his hands, "Done! I’ll buy it at the price I just mentioned."

With a wild mountain pig of over three hundred pounds, they had already made at least three hundred yuan!

Chiang Xiao sighed deeply in her heart.

Did this mean that she had finally escaped poverty? Although it wasn’t much, having extra food at home eased her mind! She was completely out of money now; the cash for the hospital admission had come from a loan using the money given by a certain thug, which she still had to pay back!

The two workers and Xu Linjiang lifted the wild boar down together. Since they often dealt in ingredients, there was a scale available, and the wild pig made the scale shudder when put on it.

Ma Jincai personally went to weigh it.

"What a beast, three hundred and seventeen pounds!"

Chiang Xiao’s eyes also curved into a smile.

"Director Ma, could I exchange seventeen yuan for seventeen pounds of meat? Then you can just count it as an even three hundred yuan. My family hasn’t tried it yet," she said, batting her eyes at Ma Jincai.

She had planned this when they were discussing the price; she always meant to keep some for her own family to replenish their nutrition.

Although Ma Jincai felt somewhat reluctant, he agreed. Chiang Xiao was capable, and who knew, she might bring more good things in the future. Let it be seventeen pounds then!

He waved his hand, and the workers cut off seventeen pounds of wild boar meat, even dividing it into several pieces for her. This would save her the trouble at home, should her knives be too blunt to cut it properly.

"Weigh those ferns, and the rabbit too. For the rabbit, I can only give you six yuan per pound, alright with you? It still needs skinning, and rabbits are easier to catch than wild boars, so they aren’t as rare," he said.

"Okay, it’s up to you," Chiang Xiao agreed.

"Hey, Director, there are also wood ear mushrooms here!" One of the workers, after weighing the ferns, discovered a basket full of wood ear mushrooms and called out with surprise.

Ma Jincai hurried over to see, lifting the layer of ferns on top, and surely, there was an entire basket full of fresh and plump wood ear mushrooms.

"Good job, Chiang Xiao, you’ve brought some great stuff!" Ma Jincai was all smiles, his teeth outshining his eyes.

"Director Ma, if you want the wood ear mushrooms, we can bring more next time," Chiang Xiao offered.

"Of course, I’ll take them! But it would be better if you bring them dried next time. I’ll give you three yuan per pound for fresh and seven yuan per pound for dried ones, how does that sound?" he proposed.

Chiang Xiao glanced at Ge Dejun, who nodded at her.

While fresh ones seemed to weigh more and might sell for more, they couldn’t deliver them in large quantities due to their perishability, and the restaurant’s consumption rate probably wasn’t high, maybe they wouldn’t be able to sell them often. But with dried ones, they could pick mushrooms every day, dry them, and it would make trading much easier. If the restaurant didn’t need them, they could sell them elsewhere.

This dry product was sure to sell.

So, in Ge Dejun’s opinion, drying the mushrooms gave him more peace of mind.

Thus, Chiang Xiao agreed.
