Space farmer girl: I hoarded food and raised cubs in ancient times

Chapter 12 12 Selling Fruit

Go forward immediately to check the quality of the ginseng.

The quality is fresh, and it looks like it was just unearthed.

And it must be completely intact, without any damage.

"I'm afraid this ginseng is more than a hundred years old." Shopkeeper Wang sighed.

"What's your surname, little lady?" Chong Shen Shuangshuang asked.

Shen Shuang's eyes moved.

"Excuse me, my husband's surname is Li." He replied.

Shangyang Town is a big town, and the surname Li is a popular surname. There are many people named Li.

Sure enough, when Shopkeeper Wang heard this, he had a guess in his mind.

I thought Shen Shuangshuang was a family member of a certain medicine farmer named Li.

"How much money does Mrs. Li want?" Immediately, the shopkeeper quickly covered the bag and asked Shen Shuangshuang.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled kindly.

"The elders said that Mr. Wang's quotation is fair and you will definitely give me a sincere price."

"Shopkeeper, you can just quote me. If the price is right, I'll sell this ginseng to you." Shen Shuangshuang's attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, which made Shopkeeper Wang hesitate.

I thought that the other party had sold medicinal materials to the store before, and there would be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Finally, shopkeeper Wang quoted a suitable price.

"180 taels."

Shen Shuangshuang's heart trembled. 180 taels was 30 taels more than what her mother-in-law had told her.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled brightly and agreed in no hurry.

"How about 200 taels? The weather is nice today and the shopkeeper is nice. We will have customers coming to Huichun Hall soon."

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment.

"Hahahahahaha..." Then, he was actually amused.

He glanced at the coarse cloth bag under his hand again, and there was a flash of hesitation in his eyes.

"Okay! Just because you, little lady, are so good at talking!"

"However, if you have such good things in the future, don't forget to send them to Huichun Hall!" Shopkeeper Wang said.

Although this little lady is dressed simply, her bearing is extraordinary.She speaks in a pleasant manner but is neither humble nor arrogant. She cannot be treated like an ordinary peasant woman...

"That's right! Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Wang!" Shen Shuangshuang said and bowed to Shopkeeper Wang.

"You're welcome!" Shopkeeper Wang smiled.

"Wait a moment, madam, I'll get the money." After saying that, he turned and left.

Before leaving, he looked at the ginseng on the table and did not take the ginseng away.

After all the money and goods, he decided not to do anything that aroused suspicion.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw this, he felt more relaxed.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came out with a tray.

"Here are 150 taels of silver notes and 50 taels of silver ingots. Madam, please take a look." The shopkeeper said and opened the silk cloth covering the tray.

When Shen Shuangshuang saw the large ingot of silver, his eyes almost lit up.

But she steadied herself.

"Thank you so much, shopkeeper." Shopkeeper Chong Wang bowed his hand.

Then he took out a cloth bag from his pocket and put the silver ingots and banknotes into the cloth bag.

When she got the banknote, Shen Shuangshuang checked the red seal on the banknote as Shen said.

Shopkeeper Wang sighed again, the woman in front of him was extraordinary.

Shen Shuangshuang left a piece of silver and put the cloth bag into his arms, feeling heavy.

"The elder asked me to grab some medicine. There is..." Shen Shuangshuang began to report the name of the medicine and the dosage.

"Please also ask the shopkeeper to find some scattered silver and copper plates."

The shopkeeper smiled and agreed, leaving the matter of getting the medicine to the clerk.

After a while, Shen Shuangshuang left the Huichun Hall carrying the medicine.

The ginseng is sold, and the next step is to buy a cart.

Then he went to the wealthy area in the east of the city and sold the fruits in the space.

As she said, Shen Shuangshuang asked passers-by and found a carpenter's shop that sold pallet trucks.After some haggling, I finally bought a pallet truck for 380 Wen.

When I passed by the grocery store, I bought another scale.

Then he headed east of the city.

Shen Shuangshuang found that the further east of the city, the more decently dressed people there were.

Turning into a remote alley, Shen Shuangshuang made sure that no one was around, and took out four baskets plus a basket of fruits from the space.

Four baskets of fruit, two baskets of grapes, one basket of apples, and one basket of pears.

The basket contained only a few grapes, apples and pears.

After doing all this, Shen Shuangshuang came out from the other end of the alley and started pushing the fruit to knock on the back door of the house in the wealthy area.

"Who is it?" Shen Shuangshuang knocked twice before a voice came from inside the door.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't say anything in a hurry, and waited for someone to come over and open the door before she was greeted by a smiling face.

"Hello, sister." The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman, dressed as a cook.Shen Shuangshuang shouted sweetly.

The cook was stunned, then a smile appeared on her face.

"Hello, little lady! Who are you looking for, little lady?" Chong Shen Shuangshuang asked.

Shen Shuangshuang smiled warmly.

"I'm not looking for anyone. I just want to ask my sister if I need to buy some fruits for my house."

"There are a lot of fruits at home. They grow well and taste good." As she said that, Shen Shuangshuang opened the branches on the basket and showed the fruits to the cook.

The cook was startled when she saw the huge and delicious grapes, the big red apples and the yellowing pears.

Shen Shuangshuang quickly took an apple and handed it to the cook.

"I'd also like to ask my sister to ask the person in charge of purchasing at home. My fruit is really good." He said with a smile.

The cook quickly looked back behind her and saw no one.

Then he put the apple into his arms.

Fruit is a rare thing, especially this kind of fruit.

She had only seen the old ladies at home eating it before, and they were not as good as the ones this little girl brought.

The eldest grandson in the family is greedy all day long. He would definitely like such a big fruit when he brought it back.

"Okay! However, my master has a village outside the city. There are many fruit trees planted on the village. We always eat the fruits from the village. The manager may not buy it from you," said the cook.

Anyway, the steward is in the kitchen right now, so it's just a matter of passing on the message, so there's no harm in agreeing.

"Okay! Sister, just help me pass the message!" Shen Shuangshuang said with a smile.

In ancient times, poverty meant that most poor people did not have enough to eat.

Except for places with many mountainous areas, people mostly grow food.

Only wealthy people can occasionally eat fruits at home.

This family has a village outside the city. They are rich.

All she wants is to sell the fruit to rich families.

"Wait." The cook said this and left happily.

Shen Shuangshuang was waiting at the door.

After a while, I saw the cook ushering a middle-aged man over.

Judging from the clothes, he should be the purchasing manager of this company.

"Guanshi Zhao, this little lady sells fruit. I've seen it, and her fruit is really good!" The cook said to Guanshi Zhao with a smile.

At the same time, he motioned for Shen Shuangshuang to speak.

Shen Shuangshuang quickly stepped forward and opened the basket to show Manager Zhao.

"Well done, Manager Zhao, take a look at my fruits." He said with a smile.

Manager Zhao didn't worry about the cook at all, so he came out to take a look just because he heard that there were apples among the fruits sold.

Apples are a rare commodity, and the ladies at home cannot eat them even twice throughout the year.

He just thought that if there was an apple, he would make the decision to buy it.

When you get in front of the masters and ladies, you can still ask for credit.

But he didn't expect that the little lady selling fruit not only had apples, but also other fruits.And the fruits are all too good to be true.

Anyway, none of those produced by Zhuangzi are so good.
