Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 577 Talking to Uncle Liu About Business

Liu Ya Xiaoshuer asked if the fruit trees on the mountain were wet and not easy to light after so many days of heavy rain.

Xiao Shuer nodded and said: "Don't say it's raining for so many days, in fact, in summer, the fruit trees are not easy to burn. You have to pick up dry branches on the ground to make a fire. In fact, it's not just fruit trees, other trees The same is true. The branches are the driest in winter, and they can be burned directly after being cut and dragged home. In summer, it is not acceptable. "

Liu Ya nodded and said, "This is what I want. You usually sell firewood, so it's usually more expensive this season?"

Xiao Shu'er thought for a while and said: "It must be more expensive, but it's not too expensive. Because before the rainy season, every household starts to stockpile firewood. Big families don't care how much a bundle of firewood costs. "

Liu Ya said: "If you see Uncle Liu, a shopkeeper, tell him to come to me and say there is a big deal."

Xiao Shu'er said: "Uncle Liu hasn't come for a few days, probably because of the rain. But maybe he will come in a few days."

"Okay, you can help Second Sister think about this matter." After Liu Ya finished speaking, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she couldn't stop thinking about it.

"Second Sister, are you looking for Uncle Liu to sell firewood?" Xiao Shu'er thought for a while, and thought it should be the reason.

Liu Ya raised her eyebrows, instead of saying "yes" or "no", she asked instead: "Then what do you think the second sister plans?"

Xiao Shu'er said: "Didn't Second Sister just now ask if firewood is more expensive in the rainy season? I thought, we have been hoarding firewood for so long, hiding it in a cave and doing it like this. We must be able to sell it for a high price. Find out Uncle Liu asked him to buy it for a good price, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Ya patted Xiao Shu'er's head, and said: "It's right to think so, but it's still not worth selling to him. The second sister is looking for him for another reason, and you will know when the time comes. But you have to Promise me, you are not allowed to interrupt when Second Sister and Uncle Liu are talking. If the secret is revealed, these firewood will not be sold at a good price."

Xiao Shu'er nodded quickly, and said, "Okay, I understand, Second Sister, everything is up to you."

Another day passed before the rain stopped completely.The sky cleared and the sun came out.The mountains are green and the sky is blue, which is a refreshing scene.

Liu Ya got up early in the morning, breathed the fresh air, and felt comfortable for a while.Just as he was stretching, Xiao Shu'er ran in from outside and said, "Second Sister and Second Sister, Uncle Liu, the peddler, is here. I told him to come when the goods are sold out."

"Well, good. My younger brother is really capable." Liu Ya praised, and she still encouraged her: "Little Shu'er, if this business can be done, you will have to contribute a lot. When you go to the school, two My sister will leave some pocket money for you."

"Hehe, good." Xiao Shu'er was very happy, and she was very happy in her heart.

Uncle Liu will have to wait for a while to sell the goods.Liu Ya washed up and waited while eating breakfast.After she had finished her breakfast, she heard Uncle Liu's voice from outside the door: "Shu'er, I'm here, and you're in a hurry to say what's the big deal?"

Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er came out together, Liu Ya called Xiao Shu'er and said: "Go, bring a bench for Uncle Liu, and pour another bowl of water."

Xiao Shu'er went in response, and Liu Ya said: "Uncle Liu, I came to discuss business with you, just to ask if you can collect some fruit trees."

"Fruit trees? You mean the firewood on the mountain?" Uncle Liu asked, "Do you want to sell it? Or buy it?"

"Buy." Liu Ya said: "Uncle Liu, please work harder. When the villages leave, ask me how much I can get."

"Second girl of the Liu family, why do you need so many fruit trees?" Although Uncle Liu is only a peddler, he is also a shrewd person.

Liu Ya said: "Light up the fire. My family wants to open a restaurant, but when the rainy season comes, the firewood will not be easy to burn. You can't just rely on my brother to collect firewood for cooking. Besides, he will soon I have gone to school, how can I have the time to collect firewood for me?"

Uncle Liu was taken aback, and asked, "Your family is going to open a restaurant? I haven't heard of it. Where is it?"

"Over the mountain, on the official road." Liu Ya didn't hide anymore.Because during this period of time, their family rented goats to transport earth bricks, and hired people to carry several large beams to the other side of the mountain, so the fact that the Liu family opened a small shop on the official road has long been hidden.

There were also people from the village who were curious and went to have a look, but they didn’t go at the right time, either early or late, and they didn’t see anyone in the small water shop. They saw Chunniu and Siping picking vegetables there to prepare or clean up. Stuff came home.

Occasionally, someone rushes past at noon, but they also see guests.However, the business of the small water shop was not crowded with a group of people all at once. Seeing a few passing porters and coachmen resting in a small bamboo shed, no one thought that such a small place could make much money.There is also a pile of adobe bricks and yellow mud thrown there because of the rain and suspension of work, making it even more depressed.

Therefore, some people in the village laughed when they talked about the small water shop of the Liu family, saying that their second girl was sometimes shrewd and sometimes stupid, and it took most of the day to build a house by the official road, which was a waste of money.The more tossing and the poorer, I'm afraid I won't see anyone all day long.

In addition, Chunniu and Siping only went out in the morning and came back in the afternoon, and it took more than two hours. No one believed that such a small bamboo shed was a source of income.

So now that Liu Ya said that the restaurant was opened on the official road, it made Uncle Liu's hope fade away again.Then he asked, "Then how much firewood do you plan to charge? What's the price?"

Liu Ya said: "Let's collect it for two months first, at least after the rainy season is over. The price is easy to deal with. Uncle Liu, I will give you as much as you sold firewood to the city before. That way you'll save on the fare."

"What? Can you give me the same price as the big restaurants in the city?" Uncle Liu thought he heard it wrong, and after asking, he looked at Liu Ya, wondering if this famous silly girl had fallen ill again. .

But seeing Liu Ya's eyes clear, she nodded with a smile on her face and said, "It's the same price. But you have to promise me, Uncle Liu, that within these two months, you will collect all the fruit, wood, and firewood from these ten miles and eight villages. Tell them not to go out and sell them. If I sell one, I don’t want your firewood in the future. You can sell it to whoever you like. At that time, you have to hire a car to transport it to the city. Think about the deal yourself."

After Liu Ya finished speaking, Uncle Liu's eyes rolled away.
