Nongmen eldest sister: Farming and opening shops

Chapter 40

Lin Qinghe was also a little helpless, she wanted to do business with someone, but obviously the shopkeeper was not a good candidate, the price was too low, the business was not worth it, so naturally there was no way to continue.

At the moment, I was also a little confused, except for this grocery store, there really was no other store that would accept these preserved fruits, unless some rich people bought it for themselves, but she didn't know anyone.

After thinking for a moment, he raised his foot and walked to Aunt Yu's tofu shop.

These candied fruits can also be sold loosely, but most people would not buy this for their own food if they have nothing to do. After all, the price is more expensive than food.

"Aunt Yu."

"Oh, it's Qing He, I haven't seen you for a while." Aunt Yu greeted her happily when she saw her.

Lin Qinghe responded with a smile: "It's been a while since I went to the city, aunt, you have a red face, it can be seen that this business is doing well."

"It's not thanks to you. I haven't wasted much recently, so it's a profit." Aunt Yu laughed loudly, took her hand, and led him into the house.

"Come in and drink some water, it's very tiring to travel all the way."

Lin Qinghe didn't refuse either. He talked to the shopkeeper for a long time just now, but his mouth was dry, but the shopkeeper, who was stingy, refused to even give him a bowl of water.

After taking a few sips with the bowl in hand, he drank a bowl of water clean.

Aunt Yu was at the side, but she asked, "Is there anything you want to do when you come to the city?"

Some time ago, Lin Qinghe gave her firewood for a period of time, and she also knew something about the situation of the Lin family. If there was nothing wrong, this girl would probably not come to the city.

"It's not that I made some preserved fruits at home and wanted to exchange them for some money. I went to the grocery store just now, but the price couldn't be negotiated, so I had to leave with my things on my back."

"That unscrupulous shopkeeper." Aunt Yu obviously knew about him, she clicked her tongue twice and said, "Those of you who don't often go to the city, I'm afraid you don't know his details. It's not a kind person to have less black-hearted money."

Aunt Yu talked about the shopkeeper's information, and finally said: "It's right not to do business with him, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage and he will make money."

"That's what I said, but his grocery store is the only one in the county town. If you don't do business with him, you don't know where to sell your things." When it came to this, she felt a little worried.

I was already thinking about whether I should set up a stall on the side of the road or something, and some passing by saw that the things were good, so I bought a half a catty or something with random money.

"Isn't that what he said? That's the idea of ​​the black-hearted shopkeeper. He's the only grocery store in the county. If you buy and sell things, you don't have to go to him. If it weren't for this, how could his business still be able to do what it is now."

A word came to Lin Qinghe's mind, monopoly industry, no competition, he is so arrogant.

"Why isn't there another shop that also opens a grocery store?" She couldn't help saying casually.

But Aunt Yu smiled: "Why not? There was a peddler two years ago who raised enough money to rent a shop and opened a grocery store. The peddler was eloquent and honest, and his business was doing quite well. , it’s just that people came to the door every few days to make trouble, how could this business continue, and finally closed the shop.”

Lin Qinghe was shocked when he heard it: "Why is no one caring, isn't it that the magistrate in our county is an upright official?"

"A few years ago, he wasn't the current magistrate." Aunt Yu asked mysteriously, "Who do you think are those who caused trouble?"

Asking her this way, Lin Qinghe thought for a while, and then replied: "I'm afraid it has something to do with the black-hearted shopkeeper."

Aunt Yu gave her a thumbs up: "You are so smart, that's what happened, the one who led the trouble is the nefarious shopkeeper's brother-in-law, he is a rascal, and anyone who messes with him will cause a whole lot of trouble."

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe didn't understand anything. It was obvious that the unscrupulous shopkeeper instigated the rogue brother-in-law to attack and persecute the business opponents, so that the business could not continue, and then it became the current situation of the family's dominance. What a good way.

"So, no one can really cure him." Lin Qinghe muttered.

Aunt Yu laughed: "Ordinary people can't do anything about him, but they are nothing special. Although our Nanping County is not big, there are a few great families. It's just for no reason. I’ll take random shots against any cat or dog.”

Hearing this, Lin Qinghe nodded, it was indeed the truth, since he didn't jump in front of him, there was absolutely no need to deal with an insignificant little person, it wasn't worth it.

After figuring this out, Lin Qinghe shook his head and sighed softly. It was really not easy to do something, so he opened the back basket casually, grabbed a large handful of preserved fruits from it, and stuffed it into Aunt Yu's hands.

"Auntie also try my handicrafts. They are all made of wild fruits picked from the mountains, and they are not worth much."

Aunt Yu didn't want to, but she knew that it was not easy for her to be a little girl. She had younger brothers and sisters to support, but the preserved fruit was delivered to her hand. The bright color made people like it when they saw it, and smelled the sweet smell. The smell was so fragrant that even a person of her age couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

She was also a little surprised: "Your craftsmanship is really good." As she said, she couldn't wait to stuff a piece into her mouth.

The mouthful was full of fruity aroma, and the fragrance was overflowing. She couldn't stop eating the soft taste in her mouth. She just ate four or five pieces of preserved fruit in her hand before she stopped.

It also made her a little embarrassed: "Look at me, I am so greedy at this age."

Lin Qinghe smiled and said: "This shows that the preserved fruit I made can still catch your eyes. I am happy that you silently praised me with your actions."

What she does can be recognized by others, of course it will make people happy.

"Your craftsmanship is really good. The preserved fruit sold in that shop is not as sweet as yours. I used to eat a few from time to time, but I always feel that it is not as delicious as yours." She couldn't help it, and stuffed it into her mouth again. After taking a piece, I suddenly felt that the more you eat, the more delicious it is, mainly because of the fruity aroma, which is really fragrant.

"Aunt Yu, you like to eat, so I'll leave some for you. I'll carry the basket around to see if anyone is willing to buy it. It's a rare trip to the city, so I can't carry it back intact."

That would be a blow to their enthusiasm. It's just that she doesn't plan to go to that unscrupulous shopkeeper. Doing business with such a person will only suffer losses and never get good.

"Hey, you honest boy, how can you just give me something that sells money. If you are old enough to take your things, if you want, you can sell me a few catties."

As she spoke, she smacked her mouth and said: "The taste of my food is better than the candied fruit sold in pastry shops. It's ten yuan a catty. I still took advantage."

"Auntie, don't leave me alone. I'm going to take your money. I'm so sorry." Lin Qinghe waved her hand and refused, she wouldn't take the money.

Aunt Yu saw that she really didn't want to accept her, so she felt even more embarrassed, she thought for a while and said: "Well, you put these preserved fruits in my shop, and I will sell them for you, but there is no guarantee that they will be sold. ah!"

Lin Qinghe was overjoyed when he heard the words. It might not be possible to sell this kind of thing at a stall, but if it is sold in a shop, it will be of higher grade, which is simply the most desirable.
