“I’ll go there.”
“Wait!”
As I was about to hang up, the other person urgently grabbed my attention.
“Do you have any plans to continue farming?”
“Yes.”
“If it’s all right with you, would you consider regularly trading with us?”
“I remember already declining that through my friend.”
“Oh, it’s not a monopoly! I just want to purchase about 10% of your harvest on a regular basis.”
“Is that so?”
This offer was somewhat tempting.
It’s not a complete monopoly, and if it’s only 10% of the supply, it’s not a bad proposal.
“Yes! I’ll adjust the price to meet your requirements!”
“Let’s discuss this later. For now, I’ll just deliver the cabbage.”
“Understood.”
As promised, Woojin only delivered the cabbage and returned home.
* * *
The revenue from selling the cabbage amounted to a staggering 160 million won.
Woojin approached his uncle who was watching a drama in his room.
“Uncle.”
“Yeah? What is it?”
“I just sold all the cabbage.”
“You’ve already sold it all?”
“Yes. It sold quickly because the promotion was effective, you know?”
“Oh… So, how much did you earn?”
Uncle stopped the drama and turned his chair to face Woojin.
Woojin smirked and opened his banking app.
“Something like this?”
“Huh? How much is it? One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million… billion…?”
Uncle repeated the numbers several times, then finally widened his eyes.
“What do you think?”
Contrary to my anticipation of a surprised reaction, Uncle suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! You cheeky kid, Woojin! Do you think I would fall for such a trick?”
“Excuse me?”
“I’m sorry for joking in the past when I lied in a comment on your potato video, but isn’t it a bit too much to even use Photoshop?”
“….”
“Well, I almost fell for it. Damn it! If you’re going to deceive me, at least make it in the thousands. What’s a billion? Haha!”
Woojin scratched his head and tapped his smartphone.
“Uncle, I originally intended to give you 50 million won as allowance, but I’ll just give you 10 million won.”
“Haha! Sure, sure. 10 million won is good too! Go ahead and send it.”
Woojin transferred 10 million won to Uncle’s account, as he knew the account number.
Perhaps Uncle would receive a notification on his smartphone.
“I’ve sent it.”
Woojin sent the money and showed the remaining balance to his uncle.
The leading digit was 9.
“Huh? What did you say?”
Uncle turned off his laughter, took out his smartphone, and checked his balance through his banking app.
“I was right, wasn’t I?”
“… Woojin!”
Only then did Uncle shout and hug Woojin.
“It’s already too late. The remaining money belongs to you.”
“What’s important is not the money! It’s more important that you worked hard and earned it! How could you sell cabbage and make 100 million won?”
“I tricked them by believing in one of its effects and wearing a disguise.”
Was it really a disguise?
Anyway, it was true that he received a high price for it.
Uncle checked the incoming balance multiple times.
He even pinched his cheek. The red, swollen cheek established that it was reality, not a dream.
“Oh… It’s not a dream. Woojin, thank you so much.”
Seeing Uncle’s joy, Woojin’s face broke into a proud smile.
“Yes. So, please use the 10 million won wisely.”
As Woojin was about to leave the room, Uncle hurriedly grabbed his shoulder.
“Woojin, wait a moment.”
“Yes?”
“But about that earlier… 50 million won?”
“You doubted it, so you reduced it to 10 million won, right?”
“I think I went crazy for a moment. Can we just pretend that what happened earlier didn’t happen…?”
