Chapter 3 Local Tyrant
Lin Tian thought about the fact that he had to pay off the hospital's debt in five days, and felt a little worried in his heart, but he had a habitually calm smile on his face.
"Yes! The one who came was a gentle man, but we sent him away.
By the way, I’m about to take the peanuts to the market and sell them for money. I’ll definitely make a lot of money. I’m telling you, you have to come and help me when I sell the peanuts!”
Bai Ling frowned, feeling a little worried.
"Do you have money to pay back? Will you send some gangsters to your door next time to collect money?"
Lin Tian said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Come and let them walk upright and sideways!"
Bai Ling was a little worried.
"It's not an option to continue like this. After all, I owe someone money and I need to get the money to repay the debt as soon as possible.
However, your peanuts are so delicious, they can definitely be sold at a good price. However, water from afar cannot save the fire that is close by. Once the peanuts are harvested, they will have to be sun-dried for several days, and it will take a while before they can be sold."
Lin Tian raised his index finger and shook it in the air.
"You are wrong, I want to sell fresh food. Boiled peanuts are the most delicious! Big restaurants use boiled peanuts as side dishes, and the demand is very high."
When Bai Ling heard what he said, he immediately had a good idea.
"That's right! My friend's family, in addition to opening her own coffee shop, her father also owns a chain of restaurants. Maybe you can sell it to them."
Lin Tian suddenly smiled brightly and hugged Lou Bailing's shoulders, looking like the two brothers were getting along well.
"Bai Ling, you are really my savior!
That’s it! I’m going to your house right now, have breakfast or something, and then see if I can sell peanuts to that beauty.”
The two of them walked to Bai Ling's house talking and laughing.
From a distance, Lin Tian saw a white car parked in front of Bai Ling's house. His eyes lit up and he whistled loudly.
"It's a luxury car. I can't get it without three or four hundred thousand yuan! Is it your friend's car?"
Bai Ling rubbed her eyes. She only saw a white shadow in the distance.
Her eyesight is better than Lin Tian's, but Lin Tian is different now.
"It should be Pei Lei's car. Her car is white."
When they walked behind the car, the door suddenly opened and a beautiful woman stepped out of the driver's seat.
Lin Tian saw that she was a beautiful woman.
She was taller than Bai Ling. She was wearing a hip-hugging skirt and a champagne-colored silk shirt. Her long hair was permed into waves and hung lazily behind her back.
The beauty's facial features are very charming, and she has a pair of charming-looking peach blossom eyes, which makes her look naturally charming.
Comparing this beauty to Bai Ling, they are completely different.
Pei Lei glanced at Lin Tian and frowned slightly. She heard the whistle he just blew.
At this moment, Lin Tian's body was covered with filth from cultivation, stained with dust from when he was getting peanuts in the field, and was dirty. In addition, he was holding several handfuls of peanuts in his hands and was standing crookedly.
How shabby.
Lin Tian raked his hair with his hands and said "I'm very handsome", which made Pei Lei's eyes twitch slightly and she couldn't bear to look at him.
"Bai Ling, your door is locked. I thought no one was at home."
Bai Ling raised the basket in his hand and said to Pei Lei with a smile: "Yes, my parents have been away for the past two days. I just went to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables to entertain you."
Then, she pointed at Lin Tian and said: "He is my good friend, Lin Tian. These peanuts are from him and they are super delicious. I will boil them for you to try later."
Pei Lei looked at Lin Tian's triumphant look and was extremely doubtful that such an unworthy person could farm?
Suddenly, a "boom, boom, boom" sound came from far and near.
Lin Tian followed the sound and saw a fiery red luxury car parked behind Pei Lei's car.
The sound of a car with its muffler pipe removed, a high-profile wealthy person.
Bai Ling asked Pei Lei: "Pei Lei, are you your friend?"
Pei Lei shook her head.
The car door opened and a man got out of the car.
The man wears a thick gold necklace around his neck. He is short and fat and waddles when he walks, like a big winter melon.
"Zhu Jing..."
When Lin Tian heard the name Pei Lei muttered, his smile completely disappeared. He looked at Zhu Jing with a chill in his eyes.
The passenger door opened and a woman got out.
This woman has a pure appearance and has glossy black waist-length straight hair that is as smooth as a waterfall. She is a man's favorite type.
Lin Tian glanced at the woman, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.
Zhu Jing took the delicate woman on his arm and walked towards Pei Lei with her head held high.
"Miss Pei, I heard that you came to Linjia Village."
Zhu Jing's voice was loud and rough, his tone was rude, and his eyes glanced at Pei Lei's beautiful figure intentionally or unintentionally.
Pei Lei suppressed her inner disgust and said politely: "Mr. Zhu, I'm here to meet a friend. I plan to meet you after lunch."
Zhu Jing waved his hand in a condescending manner.
"No need, I just came to tell you that there is no need to talk about the price. Now the prices of crops are rising for everyone.
In the past, when Mr. Pei was in charge, the prices were based on ours. You may not understand it when you first come here, but you won't have so many opinions when you get familiar with the business."
Zhu Jing's domineering tone made Pei Lei frown slightly.
Her father was seriously ill and hospitalized a while ago, and the management of the family's restaurant business fell to her. She found that the restaurant business was losing money, and after checking, she found that most of the expenses were on crops.
This matter is easy to handle, just find other suppliers with good quality and low price.
But it's not that easy.
According to Pei Lei, several suppliers raised their prices at the same time, and this happened when her father was ill.
She learned that Zhu Jing was the top supplier.
She came here just to have a talk with him, but she didn't expect that his attitude would be so tough. Between the lines of his words, he hinted that he was a newbie and didn't understand the rules.
Pei Lei was a little helpless.
"No, Mr. Zhu, your prices have suddenly risen too high. For example, the price of colored peppers has risen from ten yuan to twenty yuan, which means our restaurant has no profit margin at all."
Lin Tian was shocked when he heard the price.
He also planted some in his field, just colored peppers. Are they so expensive?
Zhu Jing gave a heavy "hum" and said: "Ms. Pei, the colored peppers we provide are the best varieties in this area. The output has been greatly reduced this year, and the high price is normal."
"What about cabbage? A pound of cabbage costs ten yuan?"
Pei Lei couldn't help but speak faster, and there was a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.
Zhu Jing lowered his head and touched the gold ring on his finger.
"Ms. Pei, it's not just my house that's increasing in price, it's all going up. If you don't accept it, there's nothing you can do about it. There's always someone who's more willing to pay than you."
At this time, even Lin Tian and Bai Ling reacted.
Damn it, Zhu Jing is driving up prices, but Pei Lei still dares to be angry and dare not say anything about it.
Bai Ling took a step forward, stood side by side with Pei Lei, and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, maybe there are other better choices."
Although her words were not loud, everyone in the room heard her.
