Chapter 138: Sweet Potato Pricing
Selin somehow became Liu Heming’s adopted pet just like that. The procedure was very simple. They took a photo of Alex with Selin and the Little Kittens, and even the Little Kittens’ paperwork was handled.
Actually, when Alfred and the others saw the big Owl peacefully coexisting with the Little Kittens and behaving obediently, they were also very curious.
When rescuing wild animals, there was also a lot of danger. You were trying to help them, but they did not know that. Many people in the Wildlife Management Bureau got injured, mostly bitten by wild animals during rescue operations.
But this Owl turned into a well-behaved baby here, which was just unbelievable.
Before, he was curious about how Charming Girl’s bone injury healed so quickly here. Now, he was curious about Liu Heming’s entire family.
He originally wanted to get some of the black ointment that Jenny mentioned, but since Liu Heming had already given him some Medicinal Liquid, he felt too embarrassed to ask again.
Strip after strip of meat quickly disappeared into Selin’s mouth. Selin ate happily, and if Liu Heming fed him a bit slower, he would get a little impatient.
Anyway, Alfred and the others were very shocked today because they had never seen such a scene before. If Selin had been a pet that Liu Heming’s family had raised for a long time, it might have made sense, but Jenny had just brought him over.
After staying for a while, Alfred, just like Jenny earlier, left with a head full of questions.
This also made Liu Heming breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Alfred would dig too deep, and he would not be able to cover up his lies well.
Just after seeing them off, before Liu Heming could catch his breath, another car drove into the yard. This time, it was Sasha’s good friend from the Department of Agriculture, Janet.
“You didn’t give us a heads-up,” Liu Heming said with a smile.
“The water test results are in. The water has very high activity. It can be said to be the most powerful water resource humans have discovered so far,” Janet said very seriously.
“What water? What strong activity?” This time, it was Liu Heming’s turn to be confused.
“I sent Janet some samples of the water from the Small Lake,” Sasha said as she walked out of the Warehouse.
“Sorry, I didn’t tell you about this earlier. After all, Alex drinks it every day, and the water hasn’t undergone any treatment. I was a bit worried.”
Liu Heming’s heart felt like it was on a roller coaster, going up and down.
He really did not expect that Sasha would send samples to Janet. Fortunately, Janet only thought the water had high activity and did not cause any major trouble.
“That’s okay. After all, it’s for our daughter. I just thought the water tasted good and made the food taste better too, so I overlooked this issue,” Liu Heming said with a smile after calming down.
“But this water also has a drawback. It seems its activity keeps decreasing over time. Otherwise, we could really develop this water properly. It might become the most expensive water,” Janet said with some regret.
“Ah, what a pity, what a pity. Otherwise, we could really exchange this water for a lot of money,” Liu Heming said, also putting on a regretful expression.
He was joking. No amount of money could make him sell this water. He hadn’t even used it to water the Ranch, afraid that he might accidentally dry up the Small Lake.
“What are you busy with?” Seeing that Liu Heming was also a bit “sad,” Janet changed the subject.
“We just adopted an Owl today. It’s still in the Warehouse,” Liu Heming said with a smile.
“By the way, Janet. Can I give my Sweet Potatoes a new name now? And since they have very high beneficial components, can I start selling them? And when the time comes, can I also publish your test report?”
The Sweet Potatoes needed to be sold. There were so many that his family could not eat them all. Even if his parents came at the end of the year, keeping a few thousand would be enough for the whole family to snack on.
The rest had to be sold. Selling them on the street was not an option. People might even think you were a scammer, so he planned to sell them online. But he was not sure if the Department of Agriculture’s report could be used as a selling point. Anyway, you had to be careful with everything you did here.
“You can indeed rename those Sweet Potatoes. We gave you the test report, so of course you can publish it. Those Sweet Potatoes really taste great. How much do you plan to sell them for per pound?” Janet asked with a smile.
“No, no, no. I won’t sell them by weight,” Liu Heming said, shaking his head with a smile.
“Each Sweet Potato is too light. I plan to sell them in sets. Based on one Sweet Potato per day, one set would be 365 Sweet Potatoes. How about four thousand US Dollars per set?”
“What? Sell them that expensive?” Janet asked in surprise.
“Is it expensive? Actually, it’s very cheap,” Liu Heming said very confidently.
“I thought about it recently. When I planted these Sweet Potatoes, some of them did not bear fruit. It also seemed very difficult to plant them. It had to be done purely by hand, and I also need to save some for next year’s production.”
“So, four thousand US Dollars per set is really not expensive. These Sweet Potatoes can improve the human immune system, and in this world, health cannot be measured by money.”
Both Janet and Sasha frowned. They felt there was some truth to what Liu Heming said, but it also seemed a bit unreliable.
“The name Finger Sweet Potato doesn’t sound very nice, so I plan to rename them Fruit Sweet Potato. Do I need to go through any procedures for that?” Liu Heming continued.
“You just need to send us a naming document, and we will file it,” Janet said, shaking her head.
“But I still think your selling price is too high. The actual effects of these Sweet Potatoes haven’t been tested at all. I’m afraid they might not sell well.”
“Hehe, let’s give it a try. Even if they don’t sell, it’s okay. I’ll keep them all for myself to eat,” Liu Heming said with a laugh.
“Actually, I will only sell these Sweet Potatoes for the next couple of years. Later, they will slowly become non-sale items. Right now, my Ranch needs construction funds. Once it’s running normally, I won’t be willing to sell them.”
He really had no money. Otherwise, he would not sell these Sweet Potatoes and would just let his daughter snack on them. That way, the little one might grow up strong and healthy, without even catching a cold.
Health was priceless, and Alex was also priceless in his heart.
