Chapter 147: Sky-high Price Potatoes

Chapter 147: Sky-high Price Potatoes
Yuan Jie was suddenly choked.

The key is that this sentence also makes a lot of sense.

"You are right, but you are really just a kid. You don't need to think so much."

"Uncle Yuan, when Ziqi grows up, will you have to make all the decisions for him in the future?"

Yuan Jie was suddenly stumped by the question.

He looked at Lin Yuan as if asking for help.

Please, please keep an eye on your daughter and stop her from asking questions. Her little mouth is really too powerful.

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking as if he was staying out of the matter. He didn't want to get involved.

When Weiwei asks questions in return, that’s when she’s most curious, and we must not disturb a child’s thirst for knowledge.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Yuan Jie's reply, even the village chief stopped.

The director looked in surprise at the number of people in the live broadcast room, which was rising rapidly.

It seems that everyone has a deep impression of the image of Weiwei, the little adult.

Most children would not ask such questions.

Yuan Jie spoke haltingly.

"Of course... no, he's grown up now, and he has his own way of thinking about what he wants to do, and I can't stop him."

Weiwei nodded and then looked at Lin Yuan.

"My father stopped interfering in all my affairs when I was 4 years old. I have grown up."

——[In other words, don’t meddle in other people’s business. Sister Wei is too fierce! ]

——【It is true that every parent has his or her own way of education. Why worry so much?】

——【Didn't Yuan Jie see that no one else said anything? Why did he have to rush in? Everyone else knows that Lin Yuan's current education method is incomparable to theirs, and he hasn't realized the seriousness of the matter! 】

——【It was so funny that the village chief even stopped to watch the fun! 】

——【She started making her own decisions at the age of 4. How many people would envy her to death?】

——[His father is a Qinghua professor, his mother has many patents at a young age, and his child must be highly intelligent! ]

——[The education methods of people with high IQs are indeed different, they are more lazy and casual, but the children raised in this way are particularly outstanding. Isn’t it infuriating? ]

Yuan Jie was choked and speechless. He looked at Lin Yuan with some resentment, wondering if he could say a few more words for him!

Lin Yuan had no choice, the names used on the Internet were very appropriate.

Sister Wei!

She has her own ideas and doesn't need his intervention.

Huang Bin's voice interrupted the atmosphere.

"Now everyone can go their separate ways. I will be here waiting for your final results. Take your funds to buy ingredients for dinner."

"Remember to check the bus departure time in the news, after you sell all the potatoes you have."

"We can take the bus back to where we are staying and pick up the remaining potatoes."

“The more you work, the more you get. I hope everyone can get their maximum amount.”

The children all rushed over.

Only Weiwei and Cheng Chen were particularly calm.

Qiqi and Xingxing stuck together.

The two of them kept making noise and wanted to buy toys and candied haws.

Parents can only stand by and watch without even having the chance to sell their products.

"We can't do this with just the two of us. We have to find a way. They'll sell out of potatoes soon."

"Separate them. We can't let the children play together."

Kaidi and Yuan Jie looked at Qiqi and Xingxing with some headache.

Weiwei is particularly organized here.

"Dad, please wait for me at the market entrance. Make sure you keep an eye on the potatoes and don't lose them."

"I'll go over and find out the price, and then we'll start selling it."

Lin Yuan nodded gently and squatted next to two baskets of potatoes.

This scene made everyone in the live broadcast room laugh continuously.

——【Other parents were all in a hurry to settle their children, only Weiwei was settling her father.】

——【How can this be so funny! Can Lin Yuan please do something? I feel sorry for my sister Wei! 】

——[Can you please stop treating Lin Yuan like a child? He's too cute! ]

——[Weiwei actually knew to inquire about the market in advance. This is actually quite normal. They don’t usually buy vegetables on their own and don’t know the price of potatoes in the market! ]

——【Will other families have this awareness? 】

——[They just mocked Lin Yuan for being an amateur and not sure if he could sell it, but this sign seems a little different!]

——【I don’t think they will be recognized by others, don’t be too confident! 】

In such a remote mountain village, even in the most beautiful village, not everyone will necessarily know a celebrity.

If you are too confident in yourself, you will easily be slapped in the face.

After Weiwei found out the price, she made a decision silently in her heart.

Seeing the potatoes on the ground, Weiwei divided them into two parts.

"Dad, let's put the potatoes of different sizes into two baskets. The small potatoes are in my small basket."

Lin Yuan followed suit and cut the potatoes into smaller sizes.

"I just asked about the market price, it's about 6 to 9 cents per pound. Small potatoes are 6 cents, and large potatoes are 8 cents."

Lin Yuan was a little curious, "Do you think our potatoes are not worth 9 cents?"

Weiwei nodded without hesitation.

"I just asked around, Jiumao's quality is indeed the best, we still can't compare, there's no need to set the market price so high."

"We are only here to sell once. We cannot raise the price and affect the order of the market."

Lin Yuan looked at Weiwei with relief.

——【Oh my god, this is a conscientious seller! 】

——【Weiwei actually considered whether their arrival this time would disrupt the market price!】

——【Where can I find such a smart and cute child? Can you let me take care of this child? 】

——【Weiwei is more like a parent, the bad Lin Yuan can choose to join as a child! 】

——[Is this method really feasible? Don’t criticize me, I have never sold potatoes! ]

——【At least it won’t be unsalable. There will always be someone who will buy it at a normal price! 】

——【I am crying my ass off. Weiwei, please come to our place to sell. Auntie will buy all your potatoes! 】

On the other hand, Yuan Jie had never suffered any hardship and had spoiled his son since he was young. All the food, clothing and daily expenses of the family were arranged by the nanny.

They had no idea about the price of potatoes.

After finding a cool place, Yuan Jie quickly held Zi Qi in his arms.

"Dad, I have been enduring for so long, can I eat the candied haws now?"

"It's only been five minutes. Just bear with it for a while. Sister Weiwei will come to see you soon."

"Okay, I'll bear with it for a while."

Yuan Jie breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks to Weiwei, his son could now settle down.

Many people gathered around when they saw such an obedient child selling potatoes with his father.

"Little boy, how much do your potatoes cost?"

Zi Qi was stunned for a moment, but then stretched out a finger.

"Ten dollars!"

Several customers were soon amused by the child's innocent words.

But they turned around and asked the adults again.

"How much do you sell these potatoes for?"

Yuan Jie was also a little overwhelmed. He was busy looking after his son and had no time to ask others about the approximate price.

But consider that this is a village market, so the prices shouldn’t be set too high.

Ten yuan is actually just right, and the price my son gave this time was correct.

"That's the price my son mentioned, ten dollars."

There was also a hint of pride in his eyes.
Chapter 148: There is no high or low profession

In other words, hurry up and brag, such a young child already knows the prices of the goods sold at home.

Unexpectedly, the customer's expression changed.

"You are a black marketeer. You thought that this child was so cute, but his family must be in trouble!"

"You set the price so high, no wonder you can't sell it."

Others also came over.

"Don't look at it, this is a shady shop. Their potatoes are extremely expensive. You ordinary people can't afford them."

"What? It's only 10 dollars. Why don't you sell yourself?"

Yuan Jie was totally confused after hearing this. Ten dollars seemed very low to him.

But judging from the words and actions of these people, the amount is a bit outrageous.

In order to prevent himself from not being able to sell any products, Yuan Jie immediately changed his attitude.

"Why don't you just tell me how much it is? I don't really know much about prices, so I'll give you whatever you say."

"Forget it, we won't buy it. We can't afford it at all."

"Forget it, forget it. This is just a shady place. There are so many places selling potatoes in the market. Why do you have to buy from him?"

Soon all the customers left. Besides, this is a village and news is basically spread by word of mouth.

Soon everyone knew that Yuan Jie was a black-hearted person who was trying to extort money from them.

Even after the price drops, no one will buy it.

They are especially resistant when outsiders come to do business.

The program crew quickly went over to give a reminder.

"The most expensive product on the market is now 9 cents a pound, and yours has more than doubled the price tenfold."

Yuan Jie suddenly slapped his head, wondering how could he have forgotten this.

"I'm so sorry, but I see they are avoiding me like a mouse now. I guess they all know the price I just mentioned."

He looked down at Qiqi, thinking that he might not even be able to afford the money for the candied haws.

——【The potatoes were so expensive, why didn’t he go and grab them? This is the first time I feel like I can’t even afford potatoes! 】

——【Maybe there will be some cheaters who buy it just for the sake of the celebrity, hoping to get an autograph or something!】

——[The world of rich people is really hard to understand. They live like they are out of touch with society. An adult doesn’t even know the price of potatoes! ]

——【Weiwei knows to investigate the market in advance to see what the prices are here, but an adult like this doesn’t know, she’s worse than a child!】

——[Although Lin Yuan is rather casual, he is not without even the most basic common sense, and he also has Wei Wei as his capable assistant! ]

——[Qiqi always thinks about eating candied haws and never thinks about helping her father. She even makes trouble!]

——【Don’t be so harsh on children. You might not be so bold to follow your father to sell things when you were a child!】

There was chaos in the live broadcast room.

Each of the five families has its own way of selling.

Cheng Chen is very calm.

Cheng Lei kept shouting his wares on the side.

"These are delicious potatoes. Come and buy them. You won't lose out if you buy more."

"Look, look, our potatoes are big and delicious."

"Auntie, please don't leave. I bought these potatoes today. I guarantee that all the wrinkles on your face will be smoothed out when you eat them tomorrow."

Sure enough, the hawking sound attracted quite a few people.

Someone came over and asked, "How much do you sell potatoes for per pound?"

Cheng Lei was indeed stunned. Big directors like them had no time to buy vegetables by themselves and basically had no idea about the current market prices.

Basically, there is a cafeteria inside the crew when you are out, and sometimes there will be a nanny following the crew.

There are nannies at home who cook for them, but they never do any housework.

If you ask them to tell you the price of potatoes now, they would be completely laymen.

Cheng Chen looked up and asked calmly.

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Sixty cents a pound."

——【It’s over, it’s over, Chenchen is going to be cheated, how can it be possible to use the lowest price! 】

——[He must be a kid who is easy to bully, otherwise he wouldn't have offered such a low price in front of other vendors! ]

——[This man must be doing this on purpose. Can he be a little friendlier to the child? ]

——[Chenchen will definitely not make much money. He has already mentioned such a low price, how can he distinguish? ]

——【Forget it, I need to go to Weiwei’s live studio and take a look! 】

——【You have no judgment at all. How can you just ask them how much it will cost? You will lose a lot of money this way! 】

——【I didn’t invest any money, so what if I lose money?】

Unexpectedly, the next moment, Cheng Chen changed his thinking.

"The smallest potatoes are 6 cents a pound, and the big potatoes are 8 cents a pound."

When the customer heard this, he was not angry, but found it very interesting. "You, kid, will know how to do business. You know how to bargain with us at such a young age. It seems that you do business often."

Cheng Lei touched his son's head proudly.

"My son is awesome, don't even think about lying to him."

"If you want to buy my potatoes, just buy more. You just wanted to trick us just now. Just think of it as making friends!"

These words also amused the customers passing by, and many of them came to buy.

——【Oh my god, I didn’t see it wrong, Cheng Chen actually turned the situation around! 】

——【This is so explosive, this is another fairy kid! 】

——【I was suddenly a little confused. The two of them did not discuss anything, but the final price was the same! 】

——【Holding Weiwei, we don’t have a date! 】

——[They are still children, can you please stop saying such dirty things? ]

——[This customer is quite conscientious, he didn’t ask for 5 cents per pound! ]

Kaidi and Xingxing didn't know how to hawk their wares, so they just sat there.

"Why do you think no one recognized Dad? Isn't there a single fan?"

"I suddenly felt like a failure, as no fans came over."

"Dad, don't be unhappy. I will always be your loyal fan."

Kady held her son in her arms.

The two of them behaved well and made a total of more than ten dollars.

On the other hand, Yuan Jie only made two dollars, and finally gave the money to his son to buy candied haws.

Cheng Lei looked at the 50 yuan his son earned with great joy.

Without any effort, he just said a few words and the son continued to sit there doing his work.

"Chenchen, you really are cut out for this. Otherwise, you'd better go into business in the future."

Cheng Chen shook his head helplessly.

"Other fathers expect their sons to be admitted to prestigious schools, and they hope that they can achieve something. How could you think of asking me to sell goods?"

"You can't say that. There is no distinction between high and low professions. No matter what you do, as long as you feel it is valuable, it's fine."

Cheng Lei is not the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich or distinguishes between professions.

——[First time I had a new opinion of Cheng Lei]

——[It suddenly made me start to reflect on whether I was too harsh on my child]

——[Generally, parents in the entertainment industry hope their children will also embark on this path, but Cheng Lei is different]

——[That’s not necessarily true. There are complicated things in the dark entertainment industry.]

They walked back step by step, but Lin Yuan and his friends had already reaped a lot of rewards.

The second basket of potatoes is now sold.

Weiwei was still observing her father.

He handed over a glass of water and said, "Dad, if you are tired, go and take a rest over there. This glass of water is for you."
