Dressed as the heroine of the farming novel and the best relative

"What are you looking at me for?" Xiang Xi didn't know why.

Goldman Sachs looked away, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "It's okay, I smell the aroma of vegetables, and I happen to be hungry."

Xiang Xi couldn't help but laugh when she saw him happy. After washing up, Goldman followed her, and the two of them entered the main room one after the other.

In the main room, Gao Mu had just put the rice on the table when she saw Goldman Sachs coming in and asked him, "Boss, can you sell the charcoal you burned?"

"Sell?" Goldman Sachs stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth. Hearing this question, he nodded without much hesitation and said, "Sell."

Anyway, he needs an earth cellar to burn together every time, and the vermicelli workshop can't use it up in a short time. Seeing that no one has bought charcoal in large quantities for so long, he just thought that the big families and villagers had prepared enough wood this year. , he might as well just burn enough for the vermicelli workshop.

The rest can be kept for home use. There is a charcoal pot in the house, but it is much warmer than in previous years, especially since Gao Lao Gao also uses charcoal in his shop.

Gao Mu nodded and explained, "Aren't there a lot of people coming to our house these days to buy chickens? Among them is a scholar lady from the Lijia Village next door. She said that her husband-in-law is studying at home. They didn't buy enough charcoal this year and wanted to buy some from our house. .”

"However, Li Xiucai's family has ordinary conditions. In previous years, the family has fully prepared charcoal. This year, he probably wants to save money and prepare for next year's provincial examination."

"If you want to buy it, you probably can't accept the high price."

"Then you can buy charcoal that is not very good-looking or big. It is cheap, and you can also form a good relationship. The third brother is going to take the imperial examination. There is no harm in being kind to others." Goldman said proactively.

Gao Mu smiled from ear to ear, "I was worried that you would dislike each other and not be able to give me any money."

"That's good. I think Mrs. Li Xiucai means the same thing. If you want to buy crushed charcoal, you can save a little bit."

"Then I will inform the other party in the afternoon."

Early the next morning.

Li Xiucai's wife came right away, bringing a backpack with her. She was accompanied by the eldest son of the family, a middle-aged boy, and quite young. This shows that Li Xiucai is not young at all, which shows how difficult the imperial examination is.

"Ms. Li, how about these charcoal?"

Xiang Xi opened the baskets of charcoal brought back by Goldman Sachs early in the morning and showed them to Mrs. Li.

Madam Li was a little surprised when she saw the size inside, and reluctantly asked, "How much does it cost?"

"The price is the same as the crushed charcoal in the market, five cents per catty, and there are more than 300 catties here."

When Mrs. Li heard the price, her eyes flashed with joy. She didn't expect that the Gao family really didn't lie. "Xiao Xi, are you willing to sell this charcoal to others?"

Xiang Xi nodded, "Sell it. You are a customer when you come to your door. You can buy whatever you want."

"The quality is all like this?" Madam Li was even more delighted when she got the correct answer. She knew that the Gao family did not deliberately give a low price because of her husband's status as a scholar. In this way, it could not be regarded as a huge favor.

It’s not that my husband can’t find someone to help him, but he really doesn’t want to owe any favors. He’s afraid that he will be constrained if he passes the exam in the future. After all, it’s hard to repay favors.

"Then I'll buy three hundred catties first." Mrs. Li bought a lot in one go.

When leaving, he said that he would introduce other guests.

Xiang Xi didn't take it to heart. Very few people in the village knew how to use charcoal. Everyone laid firewood before winter just to survive the winter.

Anyway, neither she nor Goldman Sachs plan to make money from charcoal this year. Next year, she is not afraid of not being able to sell it, because using the earth cellar provided by the system, the charcoal produced is better than what is currently on the market.

She believes that even a wealthy person will see the difference and be willing to buy it.

Xiang Xi went to the vermicelli workshop to check the progress and try to complete Wang Wen's [-] kilograms as soon as possible. Of course, the portions in the county restaurant must also be prepared in advance.This way.

After Mrs. Li returned home, she lit a pot of charcoal fire and brought it to Li Xiucai's room who was studying hard in the study.

Li Xiucai was immersed in reading. After a while, he felt that his hands were not so stiff anymore. He stretched out and turned around to see the charcoal basin on the ground.

Li Xiucai frowned, turned around and walked out. He called Madam Li several times before calling her.

"Madam, why did you give me some charcoal basin again? I haven't been very cold these days, so I don't need the charcoal basin."

Madam Li didn't mention the fact that she saw her husband's hands turned red from cold several times. She felt sorry for Li Xiucai and knew that he wanted to save money and not treat her and her children badly. She couldn't help but smile on her face, "My husband, these charcoal are what I need today." I just went to buy it.”

"It's cheap, only five cents per pound."

Li Xiucai's first reaction was that he didn't believe it and questioned, "It's so cheap? Are you just trying to trick me?"

"Ms. sir, why am I trying to trick you into doing this? It's true. I bought it from the Gao family in Dahe Village next door. It was charcoal burned in the cellar made by the Gao family. Because it is crushed charcoal, the price is cheaper."

Lady Li explained the source of charcoal.

Li Xiucai was a little shocked. After all, such a low price had never happened before. After a long time, he sighed, "The Gao family is really a conscientious person."

"Isn't that true? I also asked, and they said that they can buy and sell at home. My husband, don't you have some classmates who are from poor families? Please tell your classmates about this news."

"Okay, okay, I'll write a letter right now."

Li Xiucai's side quickly spread the news. His classmate was studying in a school in the town. When he heard the news, he went to Gao's house to buy a hundred pounds and left.

It didn't take long before I saw a lot of ox carts and mule carts appearing in the village.

At first, the villagers thought they were buying fish balls and didn't care until they saw baskets of charcoal being pulled out of the village.

"Oh, these people are here to buy charcoal."

"It seems that they are all scholars."

"I heard before that the Goldman Sachs guy was burning charcoal. I thought it was just for the vermicelli workshop."

"I asked, and I heard that it's because the price is cheap. Scholars use a lot of charcoal fires in winter, so I bought them all."

There was a lot of discussion in the village.

Zhang Quan is also one of the scholars who buys Gaojia charcoal. Although he usually has a brazier in Tongyili when he is in school, but when he returns to the dormitory after school and wants to read, he needs to bring his own charcoal.

This year's provincial examination will be followed by the general examination. The examinations are all connected together. No matter whether they are scholars or young students, they don't want to miss such a good opportunity. They light up the lamp at night and study hard. If there is no charcoal in the winter, the hands will get frostbite and the writing will be ugly. But it will affect test scores.

Because of this, they had to pay a sum of money to buy charcoal.

In the past, charcoal in the county was shipped from other places, so the price could not be lowered.

Now that cheap and easy-to-use charcoal was finally available, Zhang Quan bought thousands of kilograms of it in one go and planned to take it back to school and share it with his classmates.

On the road, when he saw a bullock cart carrying a fellow student, he greeted them with a smile, just because he was in a good mood.
