395. Luofeng’s Business Opportunity, Leading Everyone to Prosperity!
After organizing the relevant information, Luofeng came to the village entrance again. At the village entrance, there were several old men smoking Leaf Tobacco. They greeted Luofeng and Bai Lu one after another. Although Luofeng couldn’t understand their language, he still greeted them enthusiastically in return.
Before Luofeng planned to come to Bai Lu’s hometown, he had prepared 200,000 yuan in cash.
Luofeng looked over the debt information Bai Lu had put together. It totaled 13,250 yuan. The earliest family, the brave boy’s household right at the village entrance, had begun lending money to her family fifteen years ago. They had lent more than 5,000 yuan in total.
A mere five thousand yuan is nothing worth mentioning for most people in affluent areas. But for Bai Lu’s family, it was a lifesaving debt of gratitude.
Luofeng took out three bundles of red banknotes from the trunk, then picked up the tobacco and liquor Gift package and called out, "Bai Lu, lend me a hand."
Bai Lu walked over.
Luofeng handed the tobacco and liquor Gift packages to Bai Lu. He then took out two big Candy gift packs. All of these were given to Bai Lu.
Luofeng had come well-prepared; such tobacco and liquor Gift packages, along with Candy gift packs, amounted to more than ten, but now, it seemed they didn’t need that many.
"Can you carry all that?" Luofeng asked.
"Yeah!" Bai Lu nodded.
"Lead the way. We’ll go repay each household one by one," Luofeng said.
Inside the tobacco and liquor Gift package were two bottles of Wuliangye in red bottles, not very expensive at just five hundred yuan, and a carton of Zhonghua Cigarettes worth four hundred yuan. The total value was kept around one thousand yuan. Such a price was neither too expensive, yet it showed thoughtfulness. As for the big Candy gift packs, they weighed a full 1.5 kilograms and contained various types of candy, plus another kilogram of chocolate. All were taken from Luofeng’s own supermarket. The combined cost of tobacco, alcohol, and Candy was around 1,500 yuan.
Luofeng intended to handle the situation neatly to prevent Bai Lu from being criticized by others. After all, reputation. In the sparsely populated mountains, it becomes even more important.
When the two arrived at the daring boy’s house, Luofeng told Bai Lu to hand over what she was carrying to him to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings that might arise from Bai Lu carrying two gift boxes to their door.
Soon, Bai Lu found the boy’s parents and began to discuss the repayment. Per Luofeng’s instructions, they weren’t just repaying the principal; they also took into account bank interest.
But again, the simplicity of the mountain folk was evident. The other party absolutely refused to take the interest money. Only the gifts were accepted.
After the money was repaid, Luofeng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Such relationships are really good!"
After all, such a situation is almost impossible in the bustling world. You don’t believe it? Try borrowing money from your Moments Circle.
Around one o’clock, Luofeng and Bai Lu finally returned home. As Luofeng walked into the house, he smelled a delicious aroma. It was the scent of Cured Pork Ribs and Chicken Soup. Luofeng couldn’t help but swallow.
"Go wash your hands first. I’ll bring out the Chicken Soup right away!" Baihua greeted them with a smile as they returned.
A moment later, Luofeng sat at the wooden table. He could tell that Baihua had meticulously cleaned it; the dishes and utensils were spotless, having been boiled in hot water. These details moved Luofeng, and he secretly sighed.
"Luofeng, try these Cured Pork Ribs. They’re from our mountain’s own Black Pork Cured Ribs, very, very delicious," Bai Lu said, swallowing.
Luofeng nodded. "Yeah, I’ll give it a try!"
He picked up a rib, and before he even got it to his mouth, the cured aroma wafted up. He couldn’t help but swallow again and then ate unreservedly.
The Cured Pork Ribs were indeed delicious; the meat was firm yet delicate and not at all tough. The spicy flavor was well-preserved, with a hint of smokiness, and the ribs were thoroughly cleaned.
"It’s incredibly tasty!" Luofeng praised.
"Now, try our free-range chicken!" Bai Lu continued.
Luofeng nodded his head. He began to taste it. The Free-Range Chicken, raised in the pristine mountain environment, was extremely tasty. It was devoid of any earthy flavor, possessing instead a refreshing taste.
"Try our unique Wuyang Potatoes!"
Wuyang Potatoes are a unique potato variety that grows at cold altitudes. They have a high dry matter content. They are considered a plane ticket potato. Unfortunately, their demanding environmental requirements, low yield, and inconvenient transportation have made them a staple food for the local ethnic groups deep in the mountains.
Of course, Luofeng suddenly thought, the Light Food bar on the second floor of White Wing is lacking some Awesome potato species, isn’t it? And now? Hasn’t one arrived?
Based on Luofeng’s personal tasting, these potatoes definitely surpassed ninety-nine point nine nine percent of the potatoes on the market in terms of flavor. This kind of sandy-textured potato had an indescribable quality.
"Bai Lu, does your village have a large number of Wuyang Potatoes?"
Actually, Bai Lu had wanted to bring this up regarding the Light Food bar at White Wing before, but she was afraid Luofeng might misunderstand.
Now everything was just right: Luofeng had brought her back and had also tasted the quality of the potatoes. Luofeng continued to ask, "Does your village sell Wuyang Potatoes to others? You heard before that the potatoes on the market don’t taste good. If we use the potatoes from here, you should know what the effect would be, right?"
Baihua spoke for her daughter, "Student Luofeng, transportation here isn’t very good!"
"Transportation is totally not an issue," Luofeng shook his head.
"If transportation were not an issue, we would affirmatively sell our Wuyang Potatoes. Usually, we can’t eat many of them, so we just carry them to the market to sell!" Baihua said.
Of course, Wuyang Potatoes are quite small, about the size of a ping pong ball.
As for fist-sized Wuyang Potatoes? Don’t be ridiculous. Those are artificially cultivated, full of various hormones and fertilizers.
It’s a specialty of the cold regions here, and it’s impossible to find the same flavor anywhere else.
"Aunty, when you take them to sell at the market, how much per half kilogram?" Luofeng asked curiously.
In the bustling world, the cheapest stock potatoes can be as low as 0.8 yuan per half kilogram. Of course, it depends on the year; sometimes they’re a bit more expensive, and sometimes a bit cheaper. After all, potatoes and sweet potatoes are crops with very large yields. But 0.8 yuan is for stock; fresh potatoes in the supermarket are usually around 3 yuan per half kilogram, sometimes 2 yuan.
"If we sell them at the market, this year it’s 1.8 yuan, and if there are few sellers that day, the price can go up to 2 yuan!" Baihua explained.
Upon hearing this, Luofeng was also somewhat stunned. Only 1.8 to 2 yuan?!
