Reborn Farmhouse: Planting Fields, Flirting with People

Chapter 188 Acquisition of Sweet Potatoes
Li Shou still doesn't know much about business matters, but when he heard what his daughter said, he also became anxious and angry.

"But we only have a hundred catties of sweet potatoes left, what should we do?"

Li Mingyue bowed her head and pondered for a moment before saying: "Father, tomorrow you and my brother will deliver the vermicelli ordered by those companies first. After paying for the goods, and adding the ones saved at home, there should be around fifty taels of silver. When the time comes, our family will take the vermicelli. Pay 30 taels of silver and go to the village to collect sweet potatoes."

Li Shou nodded, "That's fine. I just don't know if we can collect it. Only those poor people who can't afford food will use it to satisfy their hunger. Most people don't grow much. If it's not possible, let's run a few more." The village asked.

However, do you want that much?One penny of sweet potatoes can buy three catties, 30 taels of silver... How many catties do I have to get back? My brain is not working well, Mingzhi, do the math. "

"Three catties for one penny, thirty catties for ten pennies, three hundred catties for one penny... 30 taels of silver is [-] catties!... How many sweet potatoes do you have! Our yard can't even be piled up." Calculate The numbers that came out were so astonishing that Ming Zhi's eyes widened in shock.

Li Mingyue herself didn't expect sweet potatoes to be sold so cheaply. No wonder the common people would say it's cheap, and the price is too low. She originally thought that it would be good to receive a penny and a catty... [-] catties of sweet potatoes , according to the ratio... About [-] catties of vermicelli can be made... It seems that it is indeed too much.

After doing some calculations in her heart, Li Mingyue finally said: "Then let's charge about 15 taels of silver first. By the way, Dad, you can discuss this matter with Uncle Li Zheng."

The important matter was agreed, and it was getting late, Mrs. Liu went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and after everyone washed up, they went back to their rooms to sleep.

After leaving the main room, Li Mingyue was about to go back to her room, but was grabbed by Li Mingzhi.

"Yue'er, I can't protect you today, I'm sorry... I will definitely work hard, and I won't let you be bullied anymore."

Annoyed and self-reproached on Li Mingzhi's face, Li Mingyue's heart softened, she stood on tiptoe and patted him on the shoulder, comfortingly said: "Brother, don't say that, you have performed very well today, besides, you are at a disadvantage." It's not us either. Those shopkeepers may still be hurting now... If you feel sorry for me, at most you can practice drinking with me more in the future."

Li Mingzhi straightened his face immediately, and said fiercely: "What kind of drinking capacity do you practice, you will never be allowed to drink again in the future!"

The tone was full of pampering, and the ruthless expression was neither fish nor fowl, making Li Mingyue and Li Minglan laugh out loud.

From the second day onwards, Li Shou and Li Mingzhi drove their carriages to the county town to pull vermicelli.

The melon-eating crowd basking in the sun at the entrance of the village added new topics of conversation.

A few days later, Lizheng called together several poor families in the village, saying that Li Shou's family was willing to buy sweet potatoes for one penny and three catties, and if everyone was willing to sell them, they would ship the sweet potatoes to his home.

This time, the village exploded again, and it was rumored that Li Shou's family had made a lot of money by selling sweet potatoes.

One after another, some people began to carry sweet potatoes to Li Shou's house to sell. This kind of sweet potato was grown in the past and no one bought it. They kept it for their own food. Now they can sell it for food, which is naturally the best.

Even so, after two days, only two to three thousand catties of sweet potatoes were harvested, which was far from the expected goal.In the next few days, Li Shou and Mingzhi drove the carriage to nearby villages to collect sweet potatoes, while the Liu family stayed at home, waiting for the villagers to deliver the sweet potatoes to their door.
