Chen Hu waved his hands helplessly and chased Xiaobei out. He frowned and said, "And you. You're not taking good care of yourself. This is so heavy that it's difficult for the men in the army to carry it, yet you come to the county city alone! If you want to do this again, call me! I'll send someone to pick you up!"
"But I can carry it, I'm not that delicate!" Qiao Mei said.
When Chen Hu heard this, he became even angrier. He put his hands on his hips and said, "You still don't take it seriously! When your auntie was pregnant, the doctor told me not to allow her to carry heavy things! I couldn't bear to let her do any chores! I'm even on tenterhooks when she carried a bottle of water! Look at you, this bag probably weighs at least 50 pounds!"
"It's 100 pounds…" Qiao Mei lowered her head and added softly.
Chen Hu was so angry that he could feel his blood pressure rising. He felt that he might collapse if he continued speaking. She was really Qiao Qiang's granddaughter!
There was only one word to use! Stubborn!
"You really! Are you trying to anger me to death!" Chen Hu smacked the table angrily.
"Alright, alright! I definitely won't dare to do it again. I'll definitely listen to you! Uncle, quickly sit down and don't be angry. I don't even dare to talk to you anymore. I still need a favor from you!" Qiao Mei said with a grin.
Chen Hu calmed down and looked at Qiao Mei with a dark expression. He was still angry that Qiao Mei did not care about her health, but when he saw Qiao Mei's cute face, he could not bear to be angry.
If there was anyone to blame, it was himself! He doted on this little girl so much that she ended up being so lawless!
"Speak! What's the matter!" Chen Hu said sulkily.
Qiao Mei opened the bag and grabbed a handful of seeds for Chen Hu. "Uncle, try these first."
The things that Qiao Mei brought were always delicious. Even if he had not tried them, the moment she opened the bag, he could smell the fragrance of the seeds. Upon closer inspection, the size was different from the ones sold in the market. It was obvious that this was some good stuff.
"It's really not bad. Did you plant it yourself? Do you want me to refer you to the supply and marketing cooperative again?" Chen Hu asked.
"Uncle, don't you think these seeds are the best ones you've ever eaten? You've lived in the county city for so many years and you've also been to other places. Tell me the truth. Is it delicious?" Qiao Mei asked seriously.
There were indeed no other melon seeds like them. They were big, thin-skinned and fragrant. If these were put on the market, they would definitely be sold out.
"It's indeed good stuff. If we put it in the supply and marketing cooperative, it will definitely be gone in two days," Chen Hu said.
"I want to sell it for one dollar a pound." Qiao Mei raised one finger at Chen Hu.
Chen Hu stopped eating the seeds for a moment. The most expensive type of seeds in the county city at the moment was 40 cents a pound. Who would buy it for one dollar a pound? Also, that would not meet the standards set by the supply and marketing cooperative.

They had limits when it came to purchasing. They could not just raise their purchasing budget just because of connections. The bean sprouts that Qiao Mei sold the last time were reasonably priced and of top quality. The supply and marketing cooperative was more than happy to confirm the deal.
If not for the fact that the quality of the bean sprouts got worse and worse later on, the supply and marketing cooperative would have wanted to continue working with Qiao Mei.
"Qiao Mei, are you joking with me? One dollar a pound is almost the same price as pork. Are you mistaken?" Chen Hu asked.
"Uncle, do these seeds taste good?" Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
Chen Hu nodded truthfully.
Qiao Mei took a piece of paper from Chen Hu's table and folded it into a pouch. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and placed them inside before sealing them and placing them in front of Chen Hu.
"Now, see if this is worth one dollar. Later on, we can design the packaging and market it as a way to send gifts to relatives!" Qiao Mei said.
Chen Hu's eyes lit up. In that case, it was indeed feasible! The quality of Qiao Mei's seeds definitely made them very suitable as gifts. Now that there was a lack of supplies, people were not so particular about gifts. As long as something looked exquisite, no matter what it was, everyone would think that it was something nice.
"You're indeed smart! I'll contact someone for you now. I know someone better equipped to do this than the supply and marketing cooperative!" After saying that, Chen Hu made a phone call to his old comrade-in-arm.
He asked the man to hurry over to discuss a big business deal. This person was never absent when there was money to be made. Not long after, Chen Hu's old comrade-in-arm arrived.
"You still keep me in suspense over the phone! What good business deal do you have that requires the factory director to come personally!" He Guang pushed the door open as if he was entering his own office. It was obvious how close he was to Chen Hu.
