Chapter 742 Gem
Chapter 742 Gem
Xia Wanniang waited until Xiao Chiye was safe before turning to look at the boss: "I wanted to discuss the purchase of coconuts with you."
The boss quickly invited them to sit in his house: "Guests, how many coconuts do you want to buy?"
"I'll take as many as you can pick." Xia Wanniang looked at him with a smile.
The boss looked at her excitedly: "You accept all?"
Xia Wanniang nodded and said, "Coconuts are not valuable here, but they are not available in other places, so you should still sell them at this price without any discount."
The boss was even happier when he heard this: "Really?"
Xia Wanniang: "Just pick it off and send it to the escort agency in your city, and the people there will settle the bill for you."
The boss happily wanted to invite them to dinner, but Xia Wanniang refused.
They asked the boss to send what they bought today and what they picked later to the escort agency.
Aunt Xiao: "Are you planning to sell them somewhere else?"
Xia Wanniang: "Mom, coconut is also a kind of fruit, and the white flesh inside is also good. The only trouble is that its shell is difficult to open."
The village chief greeted them warmly when he saw them coming back. Now many young people who had been away from home have returned to their village.
Their village has special seafood, and guests from the city are willing to come to their home for a farm meal.
They don’t have to go out to set up stalls or find shops, they can do business at home, which is something they never dreamed of.
"Mrs. Xiao, Madam Xiao, our village would like to treat you to a meal to thank you for helping us make money." The village chief and villagers looked at them expectantly.
Xia Wanniang and the others looked at Aunt Xiao and asked her to make the decision.
Aunt Xiao readily agreed: "Okay, we will be leaving in a few days. Thank you all for taking care of us during this period."
When the village chief and his friends heard that they were leaving, they all expressed reluctance: "Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"
Aunt Xiao looked at them with a smile: "No, we still have a lot of things to do."
Xia Wanniang said at this time: "I want to buy some seafood from you. You can send us whatever you catch and I will take it all."
The village chief looked at her and said, "Madam, can you finish all this seafood?"
"I'm going to take it back for my friends to try." Xia Wanniang said with a smile.
The village chief looked at her in confusion and said, "But this seafood doesn't last long. I'm afraid it will go bad if you take it back."
"I have a way, just send it to me." Xia Wanniang didn't explain much.
The village chief and his men didn't ask any further questions and just agreed to send the criminals over if they caught any in the next few days.
Xia Wanniang spent the next few days strolling around Bincheng, but this time she was not going to see Bincheng's specialties, but to visit these foreign businessmen.
When Xiao Chiye saw these foreign businessmen, he was still a little uncomfortable, mainly because they looked too special.
Foreign businessmen sell some rubies and blue sapphires, both big and small, but their business is not very good.
He regretted bringing so many gems to sell this time. He didn't expect that people in this country didn't like these things. Occasionally, some people liked them but couldn't afford the price.
Xia Wanniang picked up a sapphire and carefully examined its color with a small magnifying glass in her hand.
As soon as Jeff saw her attitude, he knew she was an expert, but he was a little worried that the price was too high and she would not buy it.
The gem in Xia Wanniang's hand was of good quality. When she looked up, she saw Jeff's expectant look. She was not sure which country's language he was speaking.
Seeing her conflicted expression, Jeff said in the unfluent and somewhat halting Daxia language: "Do you like it?"
Seeing that he could speak the Great Xia language, Xia Wanniang saved herself some trouble: "Price?"
Jeff racked his brains to express his meaning, but he didn't know if it was right: "Not selling, but exchanging."
He was also afraid that Xia Wanniang would misunderstand what he meant, and was anxious to express his thoughts.
Xia Wanniang guessed it: "You mean you don't want to sell it, you want to exchange it for something else."
Xiao Chiye looked at the black man and found it quite interesting: "Wanwan, does he want to exchange something?"
Xia Wanniang nodded: "I just don't know what he wants to change."
She turned to look at Jeff: "What do you want to change?"
