Chapter 17 Bartering
Chapter 17 Bartering
"Aunt Xu, can I bring another bowl of flour and a bowl of braised vegetables?"
"I'll get another sausage when I go home. Can I exchange it for a bowl of braised vegetables?"
"sure."
With these two people taking practical actions, other women also asked:
"Aunt Xu, can I exchange dried fish for it?"
"Okay, but it needs to be three kilograms heavy, otherwise I'll lose everything."
"Hey, okay, okay, I'll go home and get it."
"Grandma Xu, can I exchange it for dried bamboo shoots?"
"Yes, yes, but with five kilograms of dried bamboo shoots, I can only give you half a bowl."
"Hey, I'm going home right now."
One after another, some people went home to get things, and some asked how to exchange them.
There are not as many vegetarian dishes as meat dishes, which is reasonable.
Gradually, there were many bottles and cans on the table in Jiang's courtyard, as well as dry goods and other ingredients.
The stewed vegetables on the stove were also reduced by half.
Fu Bao drew a straight character on the ground and wrote three words, which is equivalent to selling fifteen bowls.
There are about fifteen bowls in the pot, one bowl has four copper plates, half the pot has sixty copper plates, and one pot has about one hundred and twenty copper plates.
It costs zero to drain a pig, and artificial firewood is not included. In one month, you can earn——
Thirty-six hundred copper coins is three taels and six cents.
If new varieties of stewed vegetables are added, the cost will increase and the income will be greater.
Of course, there is also the cost of materials. If you want the braised vegetables to be delicious and have a unique taste, individual spices are indispensable.
Overall, this business can be done!
Fubao could think of it, and Mrs. Xu could naturally figure it out. She had been calculating and calculating all her life, so she thought more deeply.
If the pig goes into the water, the butcher will not charge money if no one knows about it, but if the quantity is large, it is difficult to tell.
Also, selling it in the village is not practical.
They are all ordinary people who rely on mountains and rivers to feed themselves. They cannot buy braised food every day and exchange it for braised food.
If you want to make money, you'd better sell in a crowded place in town.
"Mom, I'm going to the dock tomorrow to move the goods. I won't go home for lunch."
Jiang Changfa scratched the back of his head and realized that as the head of the family and the backbone, he couldn't be idle.
He has to work quickly to make money to support his family.
"Hey, mom will get up early tomorrow and bring you some pancakes."
Old Mrs. Xu nodded, her son worked hard and had to bring enough dry food.
Fu Bao waved a small branch and removed the correct characters of his "graffiti".
When she heard her father talking to her grandmother, she pretended to remind her unintentionally:
"Nai, bring some braised vegetables for my dad, so that when he has lunch at the pier tomorrow, he can promote our braised vegetables~"
"Good idea, let's do it."
Old Xu nodded and agreed.
"Tomorrow I'll take Fu Bao to buy some condiments and get some pig water to take home. Maybe our family can make a living from this."
Mrs. Liu is sorting out the items traded by her neighbors. Most of them are food and can be used at home.
"Hey, I need it, Cui Niang, come to my room later and get you some money."
"No mother, Fubao helped me sell my cloth shoes at a high price today, and I still have more than a hundred copper coins on me!
Also, brother Yu, please be honest, the bookkeeper didn’t ask for a deposit~”
"Really? That's great!" Old Mrs. Xu smiled and suddenly remembered that when her granddaughter was born that year, an old Taoist priest came to the door of her house. The old Taoist priest counted his fingers and said that her granddaughter was a little lucky star, but she was not Well, her granddaughter is a lucky star!
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the rice cooked in the pot tonight is smelling of meat.
The fried pork belly slices with chili peppers don’t even taste like braised vegetables!
Mr. Liu was diligent and thrifty at home and cut only one pound of meat. The remaining pound was rubbed with coarse salt and stored in an earthen pot to eat slowly.
When the Jiang family was preparing to have dinner, there was a knock on the door outside the yard——
"Sister-in-law, is there any braised food? I want to buy a bowl to take home. My grandson saw Mrs. Liu's granddaughter eating it, and he cried and made a fuss about it~"
"Hey, yes, there are more. Four copper coins per bowl. Do you want one bowl or half a bowl?"
"I want a bowl. I brought four eggs in exchange for it. Is that okay?"
"Okay, bring me a bowl and I'll fill it for you."
"Hey~"
The old woman looked happy, handed the eggs in the gourd to Mrs. Xu, and left in a hurry.
"Mom, isn't this Mrs. Li? She was talking bad about you behind your back before. Why are you still selling her braised meat?"
Jiang Changfa only raised his dissatisfaction after the others left.
Saying he can, but talking about his mother behind his back, can he bear it?
"People come to exchange things and we get benefits. Why should we care about those trivial things? The visitor is a guest, so let's be generous. In business, we should pay attention to harmony and wealth~"
Old Mrs. Xu smiled. With the four eggs sent by Mrs. Li, her Fu Bao Ming'er's egg custard was also available~
"Dad, what I said is right, we adults don't remember the faults of villains. If Grandma Li continues to speak ill of my grandma behind my back in the future, I will be the first one not to spare her!"
Fu Bao waved the branch in his hand and took a few puffs of air.
The depression in Jiang Changfa's heart gradually dissipated.
It's shameful to say that his daughter can understand the truth, but why did he...
"Knock knock knock~"
"Sister-in-law, I'm back. I also brought some old sisters to buy braised food. They have nothing to exchange for, so they use money to buy it."
After a while, Mrs. Li came back and introduced five or six other ladies.
Mrs. Xu took everything as ordered, filled the bowls for everyone, added a little marinade, and boasted:
"When others want to buy marinated meat, I won't give them marinated sauce. That's why I'm willing to give it to my fellow villagers and old sisters~"
"Yes, yes, don't worry, as long as it tastes good, we will still buy it~"
"That's right, don't worry, Sister Xu, it's not our fault, it's delicious and we'll come back!"
"Is there any more tomorrow? My grandson is coming back from the county town tomorrow. I want to buy some more to take home tomorrow~"
Seeing this, Mr. Xu thought that he could not directly set the price, but should leave some room for it.
So it is difficult to do so:
"Yes, yes, it will be braised tomorrow, but it is troublesome to deal with. If it is well braised, it will probably be done in the second half of the day. Then you can come to my house to apply for the time. The price will remain unchanged for the time being. If the price of raw materials increases, the price of my braised food will , it needs to go up a bit~”
"Sure, let's make an agreement. I'll come back tomorrow and leave one portion for me. Oh no, leave two bowls."
"Why don't you leave a share for me? I'll give you eggs in exchange for it tomorrow. No one can lose to my eldest grandson."
"Okay, okay, it's a deal."
At this time, people reaffirm their promises and do whatever they say they have promised to each other.
After sending this group of people away, Old Xu closed the courtyard door, took out the copper plates in her arms, and counted them. Three people chose to trade with eggs, and the other three people used copper plates.
Twelve copper coins, twelve eggs, it's so easy to make money!
No wonder, many people want to make money by doing business.
"Cui Niang, find a jar, and put all the money from selling braised food in the jar."
"Also write down the amount of materials and spices purchased."
"The first step in doing business is not to mess up the accounts~"
"Hey, I got it, mother~"
