Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!
Chapter 72 Dare to Make a Bet
"Why are you suddenly asking me this?" Zhao Dazhu said with amusement.
Huang Lili quickly said, "I want to get to know you! You see, we had a fight last time, so we became friends after the fight. You helped me today, so let's go from enemies to friends!"
Zhao Dazhu was amused by Huang Lili, but after laughing, he said, "My name is Zhao Dazhu, from Xinghua Village, I'm fifty-two years old this year... Are you satisfied now?"
"Mmm, I'm satisfied!"
Huang Lili said, pulling out a pink phone: "Uncle Zhao, what's your phone number? I'll save it!"
Zhao Dazhu then gave his phone number again, and Huang Lili, perhaps afraid of being scammed, called him directly, which is why she saved it in her contacts.
"Uncle Zhao, you helped me today, so I owe you a favor. But don't worry, I'll definitely repay you later!" Huang Lili said excitedly.
"Come on, I didn't step in to help you. If that scarred thug hadn't been cursing at me, I would have left long ago," Zhao Dazhu said.
Before Huang Lili could say anything more, Zhao Dazhu waved his hand and said, "Alright, you brat, stop bothering me. I have important things to do, and I'm in a hurry!"
After saying this, Zhao Dazhu strode away.
The farmers' market was as bustling and lively as ever, selling all sorts of things.
Zhao Dazhu wandered around the farmers' market for a while before finding a vegetable vendor whose pickup truck was parked not far away.
Moreover, this vegetable vendor had been to Xinghua Village before. Although Zhao Dazhu did not have his contact information, he knew that his name was Liu Haibo and that he was forty years old.
So Zhao Dazhu strode over and said, "Old Liu, I've finally found you! I have two acres of cherry tomatoes, are you interested in buying them?"
"Who are you……"
Liu Haibo didn't recognize Zhao Dazhu, so he looked confused.
Zhao Dazhu said with a smile, "My name is Zhao Dazhu, from Xinghua Village. You can just call me Uncle Zhao."
Liu Haibo then asked, "Uncle Zhao, how many acres of cherry tomato fields do you have?"
"Two mu," Zhao Dazhu replied.
"When were they planted?" Liu Haibo asked again.
Liu Haibo asked when it was planted because he was very curious.
Every place has its own planting patterns. In this area, it's currently the planting season for cherry tomatoes, so many people have started growing them. Therefore, it's not surprising that Zhao Dazhu is growing cherry tomatoes.
The problem is that cherry tomatoes take three to four months to ripen and be harvested.
It's unbelievable that Zhao Dazhu is now coming to him to buy cherry tomatoes!
Did this old man plant cherry tomatoes right at the beginning of spring?
How could that be? The temperature was still very low back then. Wouldn't the cherry tomato seedlings freeze to death in the field?
While Liu Haibo was still lost in thought, Zhao Dazhu said, "Don't worry about when I planted them. Anyway, my two acres of cherry tomatoes are ready to sell now. If you want them, come with me. When we get to my field, you'll see for yourself that I'm not lying to you."
Since Zhao Dazhu had said so, Liu Haibo was ready to agree.
But a young man suddenly ran over and handed Liu Haibo a bottle of iced tea.
"Uncle Liu, I'll be leaving if there's nothing else... Oh, it's you?"
This young man was the same one who had sold Zhao Dazhu cherry tomato seedlings at the farmers' market. Naturally, he was surprised to see Zhao Dazhu now.
"Xiao Wang, do you know this old man?" Liu Haibo asked curiously.
Without hesitation, the young man, Xiao Wang, said, "Uncle Liu, I sold him some of the cherry tomato seedlings I cultivated before, and I even delivered them to his door myself."
"So when are you going to sell it...?"
Before Liu Haibo could finish speaking, the young man, Xiao Wang, casually remarked, "About twenty days ago."
Liu Haibo was now in an uproar.
The young man, Xiao Wang, sold the cherry tomato seedlings to Zhao Dazhu about twenty days ago, which means that Zhao Dazhu planted the cherry tomato seedlings in the ground about twenty days ago.
Less than a month later, the cherry tomatoes planted by Zhao Dazhu were ripe and ready for harvest.
Is that even possible?!
Liu Haibo's expression changed several times, but Zhao Dazhu wasn't stupid and could see what he was thinking. So he said emphatically, "Old Liu, I guarantee that what I said is true. I'm not lying to you. The cherry tomatoes in my house are indeed ripe. You'll know once you take a look."
"What did you say? Your cherry tomatoes are already ripe? How is that possible? You only bought cherry tomato seedlings from me twenty days ago..."
When the young man, Xiao Wang, heard Zhao Dazhu's words, his face was full of disbelief.
Zhao Dazhu said irritably, "Don't interrupt, this is none of your business."
Young Wang, still somewhat unconvinced, wanted to say something, but Liu Haibo spoke first: "Grandpa, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that what you're saying is too outrageous. Less than a month, and the cherry tomatoes you planted are ripe? Isn't that blatant fantasy, making a fool of people?"
Zhao Dazhu thought for a moment and then said, "Then do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"What are we betting on?" Liu Haibo asked.
"Take your pickup truck to our village now, and come to my land. If what I'm saying is false, I'll give you two thousand yuan," Zhao Dazhu said emphatically.
Hearing this, Liu Haibo was somewhat tempted.
After all, two thousand yuan is not a small amount of money.
Besides, he's free anyway, and it won't take him long to drive to Xinghua Village.
Zhao Dazhu added, "But if what I'm saying is true, you'll have to buy my cherry tomatoes at double the market price!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Haibo hesitated slightly.
The market price of cherry tomatoes is about five yuan per kilogram. If we buy them at double the price, it will be ten yuan per kilogram.
However, after considering it seriously for a while, Liu Haibo nodded in agreement.
After all, most farmers in this area have only just started growing cherry tomatoes, so there aren't many fresh cherry tomatoes on the market.
If what Zhao Dazhu said is true, and his cherry tomatoes are really ripe, even if he buys them at twice the market price, he will definitely make a profit and can make a fortune first!
"That's settled then, come on, get in the car!"
After saying that, Liu Haibo grabbed Zhao Dazhu's arm and pulled him quickly toward the blue pickup truck.
The young man, Xiao Wang, followed, but Liu Haibo glared at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm curious, I want to go take a look," Xiao Wang said awkwardly.
"What are you looking at? This is none of your business. Go do your own thing!"
After driving the young man away, Liu Haibo and Zhao Dazhu got into the blue pickup truck together.
As Liu Haibo turned the key to start the car, the blue pickup truck sputtered and drove towards Xinghua Village.
