Chapter 242 How is it possible to sell corn for 200 yuan a piece?
In the kitchen, Tang Qing and Wu Mei were chatting happily.
They whispered to each other.
They haven't seen each other for half a month, but it feels like they haven't seen each other for a long time, and they always have endless things to say in their hearts.
But it’s nothing more than some household details about the two people’s lives.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Heizi and Sun Weixing also came in to help, and the two women stopped whispering.
Suddenly, Wu Mei curiously asked Tang Qing, "Sister Qing, tell me why this Erwazi became a celebrity in Taoyuan Town? I asked Zhou Jing, but she refused to tell me and asked me to ask Erwazi myself.
But I'm afraid Erwazi won't tell me, so I have no choice but to ask you."
Tang Qing stared at Wu Mei, with a look of astonishment on her face, "What kind of celebrity? Erwazi is Erwazi. What kind of celebrity is he? Who are you listening to?"
She lives with Lin Feng every day, and no one has ever said that Lin Feng is a celebrity.
At this moment, Wu Mei suddenly said such words, which made her feel a little strange.
"Ah, so you don't know either?"
Wu Mei also widened his eyes and opened his mouth.
However, she also heard the rumor from her father Wu Chaoyang, and she didn't know whether it was true or false.
I just heard that her cousin Wu Dingguo wanted to know more about her.
Little did she know that something unpleasant had happened between Wu Dingguo and Lin Feng.
Sun Weixing answered immediately and asked in surprise: "What, sister-in-law, Doctor Wu, you are so ignorant that you don't even know that the boss is a celebrity?"
"Yes, the boss has been a big celebrity in our village and even the town for a long time. Sister-in-law, you don't even know?"
Zhang Heizi also said in surprise.
Then he looked at Wu Mei, "Wu Mei, you went to Nanjiang City and have never been in our village. Of course you don't know that our boss has been a celebrity for a long time. But you, sister-in-law, don't know that. That's a bit weird."
He was lighting a fire in front of the stove and was sweating profusely from the heat.
Sun Weixing was cutting and washing vegetables on the side.
Tang Qing was cooking in the iron pot with a spatula.
Wu Mei is responsible for talking to Tang Qing.
"Don't I know if your boss is a celebrity? It's true."
Tang Qing glared at Zhang Heizi and said dissatisfied.
She couldn't bear to hear Zhang Heizi laugh at her.
Besides, I will leave here after a while and have nothing to do with Lin Feng.
"Sister-in-law, you are wrong. Let's not say anything else. Just this pearl corn is enough to make our boss a famous person."
Sun Weixing said bluntly.
I also felt a little strange in my heart. This Tang Qing really didn't care much about people. She didn't even know that Lin Feng was a famous person.
"Pearl corn, what pearl corn?"
Wu Mei asked Sun Weixing curiously.
He looked at Zhang Heizi again, and then at Tang Qing, "Sister Qing, what on earth is this pearl corn about?"
Sun Weixing put down the vegetable basket, walked to the window, waved to Wu Mei, and said politely: "Doctor Wu, come here, I will show you what pearl corn is?"
Wu Mei followed the instructions and came to the window and looked in the direction pointed by Sun Weixing.
After looking for a long time, I only saw a green cornfield.
So he said to Sun Weixing in dissatisfaction: "Sun Weixing, why did you trick me into coming here to see it? There is nothing. It's true."
She thought that Sun Weixing wanted to take advantage of her, so she protected her proud bust with both hands.
"How dare I lie to you? Have you seen that cornfield?"
Sun Weixing smiled bitterly and said helplessly.
"Yes, it's just a piece of corn, nothing special about it."
Wu Mei curled her lips and prepared to go back and continue to stand by the stove talking to Tang Qing.
But Sun Weixing smiled and said: "Look at it from this angle. There is a small corn field there. Is it just like a small forest? It is fundamentally different from other corn seedlings."
Wu Mei took a look and saw that there was indeed a piece of corn that was unusually tall.
It's just that the angle is different and the place you look at is slightly different.
"It might be some kind of hybrid corn, that's why it grows so tall."
Wu Mei still disagreed.
"Wrong, that is the pearl corn specially cultivated by the boss. Maybe you have never eaten pearl corn and don't know its taste."
Sun Weixing said solemnly.
"Doctor Wu, you have never eaten pearl corn, but you need to know one thing. That is the value of each pearl corn cob. How much do you want to sell it for?"
Zhang Heizi asked with a smile while placing a piece of firewood on the stove.
"How much does it cost? It's not just one or two yuan. No, it's only a few cents per piece at most, but vendors like those in Nanjiang City who make roasted corn sell it for five or six yuan."
Wu Mei thought about it and said disdainfully.
"Haha, Doctor Wu, you are so naive. You can eat pearl corn for just a few dollars. Don't be scared when I tell you a number."
Zhang Heizi joked.
"How much is it? Tell me quickly. I won't be scared. I'm very brave."
Wu Mei's curiosity was immediately piqued and she couldn't help but urge.
"It's not expensive either. It's only a hundred yuan a piece."
Sun Weixing said lightly from behind.
"What, one hundred yuan a piece, that's impossible."
Wu Mei said she was brave before, but when she heard it, she was still shocked.
"How about it? Are you scared? Dr. Wu, you are not scared, are you?"
Zhang Heizi chuckled.
"A corn cob cost 100 yuan a piece. That was in the past. Corn now costs more than 100 yuan."
Tang Qing, who had been cooking, suddenly said calmly.
"What? Did the price increase again?"
This time, it was Sun Weixing and Zhang Heizi's turn to be surprised.
"Sister Qing, how much does a piece of corn cost now?"
Wu Mei became even more curious.
"Today's corn is no longer called pearl corn, but beauty corn, which has some special effects. Therefore, the price has doubled, reaching 200 yuan a piece."
Tang Qing said calmly.
That way, it was as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
But the other three people in the kitchen immediately opened their eyes and were stunned.
The three of them looked at me and I looked at you, all speechless.
But their expressions were full of surprise.
"How is it possible? It's just corn, but it's sold at such a sky-high price. This thing sounds a bit like a fantasy to me."
Wu Mei shook her head and forced a smile.
She still didn't believe what Tang Qing said.
It's not like imported fruits can be sold at such high prices.
It's just corn.
This is completely a disguised form of hype.
"Well, Doctor Wu, I don't really believe it either. After all, two hundred yuan can buy more than 200 kilograms of corn, more than a hundred kilograms of sorghum, and even dozens of kilograms of corn. But here are two
One hundred dollars can only buy one piece of corn, this is too mysterious."
Zhang Heizi also shook his head, expressing disbelief.
