After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 122 Collusion

At a meat and vegetable stall in a corner of the market.

Guan Lei and Liu Aidi were standing next to a stall selling potatoes.

There was a tattered cart parked next to it with several folded nylon bags on it.

Liu Aidi is from Gujiatai, 35 years old this year. After her husband went out to work, she stayed at home to take care of her parents-in-law and four children.

Originally, Zhao Yang planned to let Guan Lei cook for the workers. After all, he couldn't make any profit from the wages, and he had already lost a lot of money.

He didn't want to give the money to outsiders.

But Guan Lei felt that she could not bear the hardship, so she lied that she was pregnant. Zhao Yang had no choice but to send her back and then look for a suitable candidate in the village.

Later, Liu Aidi was found.

Liu Aidi is an honest and decent person, not good at speaking, and she rarely communicates with the villagers on weekdays, but she is quick and nimble and works quickly.

In the past, people like this would only get three or five yuan as wages, but this time it’s not the case. This time she can get 20 yuan.

A full 20 pieces!

Just because this contract is special.

In this contract, although Zhao Yang was the contractor, the fees of all the workers did not go through their Party B construction company, nor did they go through him, Zhao Yang, but were paid directly to all the workers by Party A, Guan Youshuang.

Including the cook’s wages, money for buying groceries, etc.

Guan Youshuang paid Liu Aidi 20 yuan a week and also asked her to be responsible for buying groceries. In addition to reimbursing the money for the groceries, she also gave her an additional subsidy of 2 yuan per trip.

It can be said to be very good.

Zhao Yang was annoyed and angry, so he called Guan Lei and scolded her.

Guan Lei knew she was in the wrong, so she found Liu Aidi and negotiated a deal with her.

She said that they would go shopping together in the future and she would be responsible for bargaining.

Liu Aidi was very embarrassed at first. If Guan Lei also went, then she would have to give 2 yuan of her 1 yuan to others.

But she also felt that Guan Lei was right. After all, bargaining was not her strong point, and according to her mother-in-law, people like her were easily deceived.

But Guan Lei seemed to see through her thoughts and said, "Don't think too much. I won't share your money. I just want to help my sister save some money."

Liu Aidi felt relieved, and the two of them went to the market.

Liu Aidi pulled her own cart. Because she had heard from Zhao Yang that Guan Lei was pregnant, she was worried that Guan Lei would get tired from walking too much, so she thoughtfully spread out the nylon bag and let her sit on the cart.

Guan Lei was a little embarrassed at first, after all, only children usually get this kind of treatment, but Liu Aidi smiled and said, "It's okay. Every year I go to pull the wheat bundles and pay the public grain by myself, and I pull several hundred kilograms every time."

Arriving at the stall, Guan Lei pointed at the potato seller and said, "Let's go check out the potatoes first."

Liu Aidi nodded and parked the cart not far from the stall.

It is not the season for potatoes, and the potatoes sold on the stalls are all last year's old potatoes.

The stall owner was a middle-aged woman with wrinkles on her face. She smiled and said that potatoes were 5 cents per pound.

Guan Lei noticed the small potatoes sprouting in the corner and asked how much they cost.

"To be honest, these are potatoes from last year. If you want them, take them for three cents."

Guan Lei smiled and said, "We want more. If the price is right, I'll take them all."

The stall owner was overjoyed, as these potatoes were unsold from the year before last and last year, weighing about 100 kilograms.

We have a pig at home, but we never finish eating it every day. This year's new potatoes are about to be harvested, and these are taking up space at home.

She originally wanted to try her luck at the market today, but unexpectedly someone actually wanted it.

She needs so much at one time, her family must run a pig farm.

She quickly said, "If you want all of them, it'll be 2 cents. My pigs are also raised with potatoes, and they are very fat."

Guan Lei was stunned and smiled a little unnaturally.

Liu Aidi, who was honest, wanted to explain, but Guan Lei coughed and said, "1 cent, if you can, I'll take it."

"One cent is too little. These potatoes are just a little smaller and have sprouted after being stored for a long time, but they are the same variety as the ones here. If you really want them, I'll give you one and a half cents."

"Oh, big sister, you really don't want to sell to me. You know, every family grows potatoes, and this year's new potatoes are about to grow. People who come to buy occasionally only buy three or five pounds. If I don't buy your potatoes today, you will have to throw them away later, don't you think?"

The stall owner was straightforward and said, "Okay, okay, then it's 1 cent. Do you have a bag?"

Liu Aidi quickly took out a nylon bag from the cart, and the two of them quickly loaded the potatoes.

Guan Lei looked around at the other stalls, thinking in her mind.

The potatoes filled a large nylon bag. The stall owner and Liu Aidi lifted the bag onto the large scale and weighed it, which was a total of 132 kilograms.

That is 1.32 yuan.

Guan Lei paid the money.

Then she pulled the stall owner aside, lowered her voice, and said, "Sister, I want to discuss something with you. We bought these potatoes for the construction team and they require an invoice for reimbursement. Can you put them on the invoice? Do you understand what I mean?"

The stall owner was stunned at first, then pretended to be in a difficult situation and said, "You bought so many potatoes from me, I should help you, but I am also taking risks in this matter, it is really difficult for me to do it."

Guan Lei whispered, "Don't worry, I will give you some benefits."

The stall owner's eyes lit up, he nodded knowingly and said, "Okay, what do you think is a good price?"

Guan Lei looked around to make sure no one noticed them, and whispered, "How about this, you write on the ticket that there are 200 kilograms of potatoes, the unit price is 1 yuan, and the total price is 20 yuan. I will give you 2 yuan, how about that?"

"Okay, let's do it." The stall owner took out a notebook and started writing quickly.

"Big sister, this dish is for the workers. Can you guarantee that there is nothing wrong with it?"

"Don't worry, we ate it ourselves a few days ago. Just dig out the buds before eating, and there will be no problem."

After writing, the stall owner tore off the ticket and handed it to Guan Lei. Guan Lei was illiterate, so she pretended to look at it, put the ticket in her pocket, and then gave the stall owner 2 yuan.

Liu Aidi was completely confused by this scene and had no idea what was going on.

Guan Lei took her to buy 50 kilograms of cabbage, 30 kilograms of beans, 10 kilograms of pork and a bag of 100 kilograms of flour.

They all follow this method, picking the cheapest and worst vegetables. Anyway, they are stewed in the pot and nothing can be seen after adding seasonings.

White flour is not easy to fake, so Guan Lei chose ordinary flour, which cost 3 cents per pound. After thinking about it, Guan Lei actually paid the boss to change the packaging.

I replaced the bag with the highest-grade high-gluten flour from Shandong. This flour costs 8 cents per pound.

After the final calculation, the total cost of buying vegetables was 59.6 yuan, but the final price on the ticket was as high as 564 yuan.
