Little lucky girl with supernatural powers in the farm, becomes rich in business and raises cubs

Chapter 26 Mysterious Stones
The sugar water peddler kept his word, and if the boy really managed to attract two customers for him, he naturally fulfilled his promise to only charge Xiao Zhao five Wen for four bowls of sugar water.

Xiaoruo watched the whole process, and she was very pleased that her Zaizai not only cared about her family at such a young age, but also learned to bargain without a teacher. She is worthy of being her Xiaoruo's younger brother!

The four of them sat around a temporary wooden table and drank sweet peach syrup and mint water. The sugar water stand was placed under the camphor tree. The huge tree canopy blocked some harsh sunlight, and only fragments of sunlight penetrated through the gaps between the leaves and sprinkled on the water. on the stall.

June is approaching summer, and the sun at noon has begun to show signs of heat. People who go to the market can feel that there are fine beads of sweat on their bodies.

"It's a bit late this year, but at this time in previous years, you can see a lot of people selling sugar water and herbal tea." The hawker used a lotus leaf as a fan to fan the wind and sighed.

"Isn't it good to be hot at night? Besides, boss, if there are fewer tea stalls, wouldn't your business be better?" Xiao Ruo wished that the heat would be hotter later. There is no air conditioner or fan in this world. She was a little scared in Xia Tian.

"Girl, you don't do much farm work." The peddler answered Xiaoruo's question: "There is a saying that the four seasons are in order, and everything has a time. This is God's arrangement. Summer is hot and late, so this summer It may be extremely hot, and even winter may be extremely cold.”

"Besides, if it's too hot, my sugar water stall won't be able to continue. The weather is so hot that there are many people in summer, so how can they have the heart to eat my sugar water? Those who have money are willing to buy ice at a high price. Those who don't have money If God is not merciful, it would be nice if you can eat enough..."

Xiaoruo really had no experience in this field, and hearing what the peddler said, she couldn't help thinking.

According to the hawker, the summer in this world must be quite difficult. Although it is not like the high temperature caused by the urban heat island effect in the previous life, there is no coolness brought by high technology here, so what else can we do to reduce the heat...

She was too absorbed in her thoughts, and she didn't get distracted when she heard Xiao Xun calling her. It seemed vaguely that he was going to buy something, so she waved him to go by himself.

Except for her memory not being recovered, Xiaoxun's body has fully recovered, and he also has some boxing skills. She is not afraid that someone will bully him. After all, she is a teenager at heart, so it's okay to go for a walk alone with him.

"Boss, why did you cool down like this in summer?"

"What else can I do? It's a lot of fun to swim in the river with your bare buttocks. But you girls will definitely not go, and I don't have a daughter. I don't know how you girls will use cattail fans. such as?"

"In addition to these, I also eat some melons and fruits from the well, and make some tea soup and sour plum soup."

Hearing the peddler talk about sour plum soup, Xiao Ruo's tongue immediately became salivary. It is indeed a great pleasure in life to have a cold sour plum soup in the heat.

"Sour plums produce body fluids to quench thirst, and the iced sour plum soup tastes even better. Unfortunately, the price of ice is too high, and we ordinary people can only use well water to cool the town, and it will warm up quickly." The vendor also thought of the sour plum soup. Taste, hit it and sigh with your mouth.

Other people at the sugar water stand who were resting while drinking sugar water also nodded in agreement and started chatting.

"In previous years, the ice was shipped from the north, and it had to be wrapped in layers of quilts and straws. In this way, only half of the [-] truckloads of ice to the south would be less than half a truckload. It is really more valuable than gold."

"I heard that all the ice shipments have stopped this year. I'm afraid that even if you have money this year, you won't be able to buy ice!"

"There are also people who say that digging a cellar can hide ice in winter, so the Zhang family will believe it! Last year they dug such a large cellar, but it didn't arrive until March this year. The ice stored in it melted completely and wasted. A lot of money!"

"If you want me to say, if you want to eat ice, you have to go to the north, or the top of the north! Even if it is the imperial city, ice is still transported from the north in summer..."

"But I heard that the north is not peaceful now. Many people who used to do business in the north have fled to the south..."

Sitting on the wooden bench, Xiaoyao dangled her little feet, she drank quickly, and the bowl of peach syrup had already run out, seeing her younger brother sipping from the bowl, she was a little envious.

Xiao Ruo watched the little greedy cat staring at the bowl in Xiao Zhao's hands intently, and knew that the little guy hadn't had enough to drink and couldn't order her another bowl of sugar water. I'm afraid she won't be able to eat at night.

So he pushed the half bowl of peach juice that he still had in front of the little greedy cat, and pinched her chubby little face: "Sister, let me drink this bowl for you, don't drink it too fast, be careful, you will have a stomachache later."

Xiao Niao chuckled twice, thinking how nice her sister is, she held the bowl and began to drink in small sips.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Xiaoruo didn't interrupt, listening is always the best way to collect information.

"Oh, that's not true." The peddler sighed and pointed at the innermost pile of stones in the sugar water stall. "This pile of stones was given to me by a neighbor of mine. He was begging for a living in the northwest and owed me ten taels of silver. He said that he would pay me back if he made money there. But when he came back at the beginning of this year, he said that the business there could not be done. When I went down, I lost a lot of money, and I didn’t have any cash to give me, so I took this pile of broken stones to pay off the debt.”

Looking in the direction of the sugar water vendor's finger, there are dozens of stones of different sizes piled up in the corner of the stall, pinkish white, mixed with a few brown spots.

"He must say that this stone is very valuable, and I don't want it. He has a foolish face and says that he has no cash. What can I do, I have to bring it to the market and sell it, alas..." The peddler shook his head and sighed , if the neighbor's mother hadn't saved him from falling into the water when he was a child, and had been kind to him in saving his life, he would have directly turned this rascal to the police!
The peddler frowns, everyone sighs when they hear the story, only Xiaoruo's eyes light up when he sees the pile of stones.

She walked over and rubbed her finger on the white part of the stone a few times, put it under her nose and sniffed it, then licked her finger on the tip of her tongue, narrowed her eyes and smacked her lips, it really was it!

The peddler saw this pretty girl put the hand that touched the stone into her mouth, and didn't know how to react for a while.

This girl is so beautiful, the kid who bargained with him just now called her elder sister, the younger brother is so smart, this elder sister is not stupid, right?
"Boss, I just heard you said that you plan to sell this stone, right?"

"Ah? Yes, yes, girl, do you want to buy it?"

"Yes, how much does the boss plan to sell?"

The peddler didn't expect that this pile of broken stones was really wanted. He simply thought that the color of the stones was relatively rare, and he wanted to try his luck.

"Then...my neighbor is using it to pay off the debt. He owes me ten taels of silver. If you want it, you can take it away."

He is not greedy, he doesn't want to make a fortune, he just wants to keep his capital.

Ten taels of silver!Whoa!This quotation really made the onlookers gasp. Could this peddler be stupid?What else does this pile of broken stones have besides the special color? Some people want to sell them at a random price. Isn’t it obvious that they don’t want to make a deal with the asking price of [-] taels?
Xiaoruo calculated in her heart that this pile of stones weighed nearly a hundred catties. In terms of the economic value it could bring, ten taels of silver was simply too cheap.

She intends to buy it, but her wallet doesn't support it.

The money left by the Xiao family's parents plus the money I saved later, the total is only three taels and three hundred wen, which is not even a star and a half away from ten taels.

She thought for a while and decided to fight for it again, after all, this pile of rocks was really useful to her.

"Boss, to tell you the truth, I don't have that much money. I can pay five taels of silver at most. If you want, we can pay both money and goods today."

Xiaoruo admits that she is part of a gamble, betting that no one here can recognize what this pile of stones is, and betting on the peddler's psychological base price.

The sugar water peddler looked at the unremarkable stones in the corner, and finally gritted his teeth and agreed. He sold them for five taels of silver, but if they couldn't sell them, they would just be a pile of broken stones taking up space.

"That's OK! Five taels is five taels! But you can say that you will pay in full today, and I don't accept credit here."

Seeing that the peddler agreed to the price, Xiaoruo let out a sigh of relief, and took out a small piece of broken silver from her purse to pay him.

"The one tael of silver is a deposit, please send this pile of stones to the Tzu Chi Hall in the town, and I will definitely hand over the remaining four taels of silver at that time."

Arranging a location with the peddler, it happened that Xiaoxun didn't know where to buy the good things and came back, so Xiaoruo asked Xiaoxun and the peddler to transport the ordered stones back to the Tzu Chi Hall, and she took the two cubs first, and she wanted to go back quickly Inform old man Cen of the good news.
