Chapter 378: Peanut Oil

Translator: Lonelytree

"It smells so good here."

"Yeah, it smells like peanut oil."

"L know there's a peanut oil shop around, but it's at least 300 meters away from here. Can the smell travel that far? We have never smelled the production of peanut oil before. So what changed today?" Someone asked in puzzlement.

"You're right." The man beside him nodded. "The shop extracts peanut oil every day, but we couldn't smell the fragrance at all in the past. So what changed today?"

On the roadside that connected Xing An Town and Xing Yin County were a rice milling shop and an oil-extracting shop.

People were gathered at the oil-extracting shop. After all, it was peanut harvest season. Many villagers came to have their peanuts crushed into peanut oil.

Peanut oil was very expensive.

It cost more than ten RMB per catty.

Many villagers wouldn't use the oil they extracted and would sell them for money. Of course, the richer families would use the peanut oils for themselves or give them to friends. Peanut oils had many benefits, especially for mothers who had just given birth.

There was a long line waiting for the peanut oil extraction that day.

Xiao Zhengyang hired people to pick more than 1000 catties of peanuts over for oil extraction.

After all, they didn't have an oil extractor at home.

Fourth Uncle Xiao knew the oil extractor boss, so he had already notified him. They didn't need to line up.

'When the oil extractor boss saw the peanuts, his eyes lit up.

"This is the plumpest peanut I have ever seen. If this is the quality of your nuts, the oil will be very good." Boss Zhang asked with a smile, "Boss, can you sell me some of your peanut oil later? I wish to buy a few catties." His family's daughter-in-law had given birth. She had given the family a fat grandson.

He wanted to buy some peanut oil for his daughter-in-law.

"..." Xiao Zhengyang smiled and said, "Boss Zhang, we do plan to sell our peanut oil, but it won't be cheap."

Boss Zhang frowned slightly. "Then how much do you want to sell it for?"

In his heart, he knew the quality of the peanuts was good, so he was not surprised to find them to have a higher asking price.

'The market price of peanut oil was ten RMB per catty, so Boss Zhang assumed Xiao Zhengyang's peanut oil would be sold at twelve RMB per catty.

However, when the peanut oil flowed out, Boss Zhang was shocked. He had worked in this place for more than a decade, he had not seen such pure peanut oil before. This made him even more determined to buy a few catties.

'The peanut oil would be perfect for some stir-fry.

However, when he asked for the price, he was shocked. They were sold for fifty RMB per catty.

This was such a sky-high price!

The people around widened their eyes and looked in disbelief at Xiao Zhengyang.

"Oh my God. How can it be so expensive? Fifty RMB per catty? Has he lost his mind? Does he plan to rob us?"

"That's right. It is too expensive. The market price is 10 RMB per catty. Even if their peanut oil has good quality, it should only be sold for one or two RMB extra. How can he hike up the price so much?"
