On the Difficulties of Escape in Ancient Times

More than a hundred kilograms of vegetables were packed in three baskets. Even if the baskets could be stacked, five large baskets would still take up space. Fortunately, only Mr. Xiao, the three brothers Xiao Dalang, and the three sisters of the Xiao family could fit in the carriage. The next.

They originally planned to take it to the morning market to try selling it if the vegetable inn and restaurant didn't accept it.

The first place to go was still the first inn where the Xiao family stayed after arriving in the city.

The owner, shopkeeper, and waiter all have particularly deep memories of them.

The first time they came to live with the young master of Huichun Hall, the second time they brought prey to sell, but the third time people entered the cell, and the prey went into the adults' stomachs for free.

The county is said to be large, with a population of more than 100,000.

No matter how small it is, if something is a little special, it will spread quickly.

Thanks to the fact that Boss Tuoxiao was arrested in the inn, the business of their inn has improved a lot during this period.

People often come to order a few dishes and ask Boss Xiao about their arrest.

What some people care about is who Boss Xiao and the others have offended? From now on, they will know better and avoid it.

Some people just watch the fun, and they can eat two more bowls of rice by listening to other people's misfortunes.

The story is about wine, the more you drink, the happier you become.

So when the shopkeeper saw the vegetables brought by the Xiao family, he saw they were still fresh and ordered more than 200 eggs.

The waiter weighed the vegetables, and the shopkeeper quickly calculated on the side: "One penny of vegetables costs two catties, a total of twenty-two catties and eleven cents."

A penny is worth two kilograms of radish, and twenty-five kilograms is counted as thirteen penny.

Water chestnuts cost five cents per catty, and thirteen catties cost sixty-five cents.

Lotus root costs three cents per catty, and twenty-one catties is sixty-three cents.

Chili pepper costs two cents per catty, and seven catties is fourteen cents.

Eighteen pounds of pumpkins and twenty-six pounds of winter melons, both cost one penny and three pounds, which is fifteen cents.

Lentils cost one penny per catty, and twenty-three catties equaled twenty-three pence. "

"Plus two hundred and thirty-six eggs, three cents each, seven hundred and eight cents."

The shopkeeper calculated it twice: "The total adds up to nine hundred and twelve cents, right?"

"Yes, yes." If he hadn't been outside and had to keep calm, Xiao Dalang would have jumped up with excitement.

Originally, he thought it would be good to earn fifty or sixty cents, but he didn't expect that the price given by the shopkeeper was kind. This trip could earn him one hundred and fifty-six cents.

He held back his ecstasy and asked expectantly: "Shopkeeper, do you want these dishes every day?"

Xiao Xiao also helped: "Every household in the countryside has vegetables. We pick them in the morning to ensure they are fresh. My eldest brother wants to help everyone run an errand so that the neighbors can sell some vegetables for oil money. The shopkeeper has a lot of food every day. If the dishes are fresh enough, the business will definitely be better.”

She also didn't expect that the vegetable business was actually pretty good.

I think even if this store doesn't accept it, you can go to other stores and ask.

The main reason is that we have a mule cart at home, so it is convenient to come and go.

Anyway, they are all self-aware. Except for Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, none of them know how to farm.

Then they can't just watch the old people farm, right?

Even if they can learn, but as a last resort, who wants to do farm work with their backs turned to the sky and their faces facing the loess?

Besides, if they want to move into the county town, they will have no land to farm.

However, the business can still be sustained. He collects vegetables and sends them to the county town to sell. He can also bring some oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar from the county town to sell, and he can also sell a few pieces of soap along the way.

In this way, the second uncle's family can live a good life. She now feels that she really has no business acumen.

Otherwise, why didn’t you think of collecting vegetables from the countryside to sell before? There are so many people in the county, and many of them don’t have land. They even need to buy some garlic and ginger. They own mule carts, so this business can really be done.

After hearing this, the shopkeeper pondered for a moment and then said: "Then you can send it every other day for the time being. It must be as fresh as today. The eggs will not be used for now, and they must be delivered before eight o'clock in the morning."

Their restaurant has more customers than other restaurants, and they don't really have regular food delivery people. Usually they either go to the market to buy it themselves, or there will be vegetable vendors. If other restaurants can't accept it, they will also deliver it.

It's also because they don't need a lot of food. Even if Xiao Dalang doesn't deliver it, they can still go to the morning market to buy it.

If you send it, you can save yourself trouble.

And if you tell me, I have a food delivery guy at home, which is a lot of face.

Xiao Dalang responded repeatedly: "Thank you, shopkeeper. I will definitely deliver it to you before Chen Shizhong in the morning."

The shopkeeper approached him and whispered: "It would be best if we could get some wild muntjac. Take as much as you can."

"If there are no muntjacs, deer, fox, rabbit, and chicken will do."

At that time, he will focus on one thing: this is the game that the old men in the county government ate for free last time.

There will definitely be a lot of guests coming.

When Xiao Dalang heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

If you refuse, you won't even accept the food for fear of being unhappy.

Seeing his shocked look, the shopkeeper patted his shoulder and chuckled: "You were unlucky last time, and you happened to be met by an enemy. Otherwise, there would have been many hunters hunting in private for sale."

"Be careful to cover up in the future, and nothing will happen."

Xiao Dalang didn't dare to say anything: "I mainly rely on my uncle for hunting. We try to go to the mountains as much as possible."

"Yes, if that doesn't work, you can just bring in some long worms. We'll also collect chickens, ducks and geese."

Xiao Dalang said goodbye before leaving.

It's not that they forgot to change their household registration in order to sell vegetables, but that Mr. Jiang made an appointment with them in Si Shizhong.

That is nine o'clock in the morning. If I go to the Yamen at that time, the adults will be there.

If you go too early, you are afraid of running into the adults who will be late. If you go too late, you are afraid that the adults will leave early.

Not only can't you find anyone, but if you find out that the adults are not there, you have to be careful about being put in small shoes.

So they saw that it was still early, so they simply went to deliver a hundred yuan of soap to Sun Dong's family first, and received another two taels of silver in payment.

Xiao Lian flipped the silver before handing it to Xiao Xiao, and laughed again: "It's only been a few days, and we have already earned several taels of silver from selling soap. Even if we deliver the goods every other day, we can earn at least three or four taels a month." Where are the ten taels of silver?"

Old Man Xiao and the others took a deep breath and looked at the silver in Xiao Xiao's hand with bright eyes, as if they could see thirty or forty taels of silver through the thin two taels of broken silver.

"Second sister, you are overthinking." Xiao Xiao understood the reason why his own soap has been selling well these days: "The main reason is that our soap is larger than other people's. At the same price, people who are willing to use it have seen it. , I felt that I needed to use it anyway, so I bought an extra piece of soap and went back."

It's like Singles' Day in later generations. People can't help but buy things because they think there are discounts and benefits.

"But our soaps are of good quality, so we won't have to worry about repeat customers in the future."

"When we come to live in the city, we can get milk. If we add some flowers, the fragrant rice noodles we make will be easy to sell."

When the time comes, the packaging will be more attractive and the items will be more expensive, and the price will be several times higher than that of Yizi.
