Villager of Daming

Chapter 6

The mules pulling the cart were trotting diligently, and rice was piled up in the fields on both sides of the road.

Some farmers have already started threshing rice, and they cannot bring straw when paying land rent.

Some of them used flails in the grain drying field, crackling, and some used rice beds and several wooden supports, and people grabbed the back of the rice and beat it up, and the rice grains fell.

Zhu Wentian looked at it and sighed, he was too tired, his own village had a river, would it be too late to go back to build a water cart?

It is really impossible to use bamboo and wood to make a pedal thresher, so that relatives in the village can save energy and time.

"Hanhan, in previous years, you were the one who hit the most rice grains, and you have great strength."

The head of the village saw others threshing the rice, and praised Hanhan.

At this moment, he has no idea what kind of changes his village guards will bring to the village, let alone how powerful his village guards are.

As time passed, until noon, the number of people and cars on the road gradually increased, and the city gate was in sight in the distance.

"Cooking cakes, cooking cakes, big cooking cakes for a penny."

"Salted fish rice, a penny and a bowl of salted fish rice!"

"Add meat and rice noodles, a big bowl is full of two pennies~~~!"

The people who set up the stalls appeared, waiting and selling by the side of the road with their burdens.

The little girl watched curiously and swallowed at the same time.

Zhu Wentian didn't feel anything, he didn't like food at all, especially if he had to spend money to buy it.

"Eat, eat first, and then go to the city." The village head greeted, and took out a cloth bag.

The little girl took it, along with dried fish pieces fried in perilla seed oil.

Zhu Wentian shook his head and refused: "Sell, die, don't, eh!"

"Yes, let's sell the crabs first." The head of the village didn't eat any more, for fear of delaying things.

The car went forward and arrived at the gate of the city. The sergeant who guarded the gate came to check. Seeing a lot of crabs, he asked, "Fisherman?"

"Nong, farmer, hey hey!" Zhu Wentian kept waving his hands. Fishermen can't do it. Fishermen need to pay taxes, one for thirty!
"We'll pay the land tax," said the village chief's son.

The village head took out the proof document, that is, Lu Yin. He is the village head, so he can issue a certificate for himself.

The sergeant checked and waved his hand, and he could go in.

Passing by the gate of the city, there are streets, many bungalows, the little girl still looks at it seriously, and it is the first time to travel far.

Zhu Wentian was wondering if he could wholesale some rice paper and sell it in other places. Some people in Xuancheng didn't know, so they understood it when they said rice paper.

The paper produced in this place is famous all over the world.

He used to buy a lot when he was practicing calligraphy and painting. Authentic handmade ones are valuable, but machine-made ones are cheap.

The head of the village knew the way, so he went straight to the market, looked for other sellers of crabs, and checked the prices.

It is not calculated according to the weight, but the price is different depending on the size, male and female.

The village chief was happy, others sold crabs and put them in baskets, some of the crabs fought and some legs were knocked off, and the crabs in the village were tied up according to the simple method.

I asked a few crab sellers, and the price was about the same, divided into four prices.

The big female crab costs six Wen, the medium one costs four Wen, and the small one costs two.

The village chief was about to sort the crabs, but Zhu Wentian shook his head to stop them: "Separate, separate, for you."

He randomly picked a hundred crabs for the village chief, and he would drive the rest to a place about a hundred or so meters away to sell.

The head of the village hesitated for a moment, and chose to trust the village guards. He divided a hundred crabs and squatted there to sell them.

The remaining three came nearby, and Zhu Wentian stood at the rear of the car, laughing foolishly at everyone.

"How do you sell crabs?" A person in gorgeous clothes came to ask.

The little girl quickly introduced, eyes full of anticipation, hurry up and buy it!After buying, we have money to buy meat and go back to eat.

The other party thought about it and nodded: "The female has six big ones, and the male one has six big ones."

"Hey! Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian scrambled to cut the binding rope to prove that he was alive.

He picked out seven big females and five big males, showed them to them, and tied them up with straw ropes.

"Brother Hanhan, it's wrong, you gave the wrong male and female." The little girl reminded.

"No, that's right, umm!" Zhu Wentian continued to hand it to the other party.

"Wrong, look, these are seven..." The little girl was anxious.

"No, I'm not stupid. Hehehe!" Zhu Wentian looked unhappy.

The little girl pursed her lips, not daring to offend Brother Hanhan, she looked at the person who bought the crabs.

The other party doesn't care, it doesn't take advantage of it...

He carried it and left quickly, looking at the person who was going to buy it, and carefully sizing up Zhu Wentian, you idiot?

"I'll come with four big females and six big males." Someone shouted.

"Oh! Let me show you! Hehe!" Zhu Wentian gave the other party five female and five male ones.

"Brother Hanhan!" The little girl was about to shed tears.

"I buy three females medium and three males medium."

Others are anxious, what if someone takes the idiot away if you don't act quickly?
There are many buyers and more onlookers. Everyone says that there is a fool here who can't distinguish between male and female. Sometimes he even makes a mistake in the size and sells the bigger ones as the smaller ones.

So in less than an hour, all [-] crabs were sold by Zhu Wentian.

There are few big ones, many people like to eat big ones, and wait for the big ones to be sold out. The medium ones are too big, Zhu Wentian will continue to sell them as big ones, but he will pretend to be the wrong gender and size.

The little girl was already crying, and she felt something was wrong while crying.

How did the medium become large?Isn't the big one sold out?Everyone is rushing to buy it for money?
"Hey, hey, hey!" Zhu Wentian really laughed from the bottom of his heart this time, and he sold all of them without any compensation, eh!It should have earned about 5.00% more.

It's noon, why don't you hurry up and sell the crabs? Do you want to keep selling them tomorrow?It's worthless when you die from heat and suffocation.

The eldest son of the head of the village also looked stupid. He was stupid, not really stupid. He realized that he was a fool.

Others regard him as a fool. The size of this crab is not fixed. I feel that I have lost money, but I actually took more money?
He went to his father's to look at it twice, and he sold twenty of them, all of which were sold out here.

He went over to his father and told him to bring the left over there to Hanhan, you sell it, it's amazing!
When Zhu Wentian got it, he was bought by someone almost in the blink of an eye, and the task was completed.

Holding 920 Wen, the chief grinned: "Hey, hey, hey, hey..."

Zhu Wentian and the others: "..."

"Pigs, buy them, haha!" Zhu Wentian reminded the head of the village that it's time to buy meat, and pigs with hair should go back to the village to kill them.

Hairy pigs are cheaper than white-striped pigs. The four of us have a look, choose one, and buy three of about [-] catties for [-] Wen per catty.

The current pigs cannot produce more than 70.00% of the meat, and the internal organs are fat, accounting for a large proportion.

At the same time, due to the long growth cycle, the bones are relatively thick, and they also account for weight.

Buy live sheep again, the price is cheaper, and the meat yield is not as good as that of pigs, which is a big difference.

Buy a ram, choose the one with big eggs, and buy ten ewes, the money of two pigs.

Zhu Wentian smirked and took everyone to other places to buy things, buy seasonings, aniseed cinnamon, etc., buy sugar, brown sugar.

Buy some snacks for the little girl, leaving 550 Wen for the return trip.
