farm lady

Chapter 80

Yi Xue nodded affirmatively, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I guarantee that those sweet potatoes are worth 1000 taels."

Shopkeeper Li felt uneasy, knowing that 1000 taels of silver was equivalent to [-] acres of good land, and the peasant family would never see so much money in several lifetimes. Looking at the childish girl in front of him, he really couldn't make up his mind.

Bet with a kid?Bet she won't renege?If you don't like it, sell her. The point is that she is not worth so much money. "I can make written evidence. Here I have 800 acres of land, worth 200 taels, and a new house, worth [-] taels, which can be used as collateral." Seeing shopkeeper Li frowning, Yi Xue knew that if she didn't come up with something , No one would take so much money and give it to a little girl.Since it is borrowing money, you must be sincere, and then take out the prepared land deed from your arms.

Shopkeeper Li took over the title deed, looked it over carefully, and was sure it was all real, but he didn't expect that this girl looked simple in clothes, but she had a lot of money.

Shopkeeper Li suddenly had some admiration for the girl in front of him. For such a young girl, her courage is not comparable to that of ordinary men. There are only two situations in which she can use her entire family as collateral. One is that she is in a hurry to use the money.But judging by her expression, she didn't seem to be in a hurry to use the money, so it showed another situation, she was not afraid of not being able to pay back the money, to be precise, she could earn more money than the 1000 taels.Could it be... She said just now that she promised that next year's sweet potatoes would be worth 1000 taels.

If this is the case, I can do this. After thinking about it, shopkeeper Li suddenly smiled strangely, and what he said made Yi Xue very different.

"Since the girl dares to use her property as a guarantee, I don't think there is any need to make a written statement. I believe in the girl's character. Girl, can we sign the contract?"

Seeing that shopkeeper Li believed in her so much, Yi Xue was a little puzzled, wasn't she still hesitant just now?How could the change be so fast? Her brain was also spinning rapidly. It must be business that can make shopkeeper Li so happy. Could it be... Yi Xue also laughed.

Seeing Yi Xue's smile, Shopkeeper Li suddenly understood his intentions, and his face turned red. This girl is really smart. If it was a man, who would be her opponent in business.

"Treasurer Li is so sincere, I think shopkeeper Li will do all the sales of sweet potatoes next year. Do you want to sign the contract now?" Yi Xue asked with a smile.

All that is said now has a different meaning from what was said just now. Previously, Yixue took the initiative to sell it, but she didn't say how much she would sell it for. It was all up to Yixue herself to decide which one to sell.Now there is only one fixed.

Shopkeeper Li admires Yi Xue to death. Not only is this girl quick thinking, but she also speaks so well. She pays more attention to Yi Xue in her heart, and said happily, "Since the girl is willing to cooperate, it is best to sign the contract."

The two readily signed the contract and held a copy in their hands. The document stated that Wang Yixue's sweet potato harvest must be purchased by Heji Restaurant. If the two parties violated it, they would compensate the other party 1000 taels.

In other words, besides eating the sweet potatoes produced by Yixue, the rest can only be sold to Heji Restaurant.

The two took what they needed, and shopkeeper Li didn't dare to think that Yi Xue was underestimated because she was young, but the two of them seemed to have forgotten each other, chatting happily. Speaking, it is simply a miracle.Every time the shopkeeper talks about business with people, it will not exceed half an hour.

After a while, shopkeeper Li ordered the cashier to fetch 500 taels of silver bills, and exchanged 500 taels of cash and loose silver for Yi Xue.Yi Xue put it in her arms, and then these things entered the space.

"Boss, you haven't mentioned the price of these pickles yet," Yi Xue said, pointing at the leeks.

Shopkeeper Li slapped his head, "I'm happy to forget that this altar is estimated to weigh ten catties, and each catty is calculated at fifty Wen, how about it?"

"Yes", Yi Xue didn't think that leeks could be sold at a high price, and if he wanted to sell them at a high price, it would be more cost-effective to sell fresh vegetables.

Shopkeeper Li took out another five taels of silver and handed it to Yi Xue.Yi Xue explained some precautions for storing pickles before leaving.

After coming out of Heji Restaurant, Yi Xue finally felt that she had money again. Although she didn't belong to her for the time being, she believed that within a year at most, she would become a rich woman. She was so happy.

Rich woman, this title is really long gone.

Yi Xue and Lao Zhangtou were strolling in the street, Yi Xue thought it was better to buy more eggs and go back to continue hatching chicks.

I took out the drawings placed in the space, thought for a while, and went to order the plow tools first, and I will use them in autumn.So Lao Zhangtou and Yi Xue went to work separately, Lao Zhangtou went to collect eggs, Yi Xue wandered around the street without buying anything, and finally found a small blacksmith shop.

"The shopkeeper, someone is looking for it," a naked man who blacksmithed took a look at Yi Xue, and then shouted back.

In summer, the temperature in this blacksmith's shop was very high. Yi Xue felt a wave of heat rushing towards her, and her whole body was hot, so she hurriedly took a few steps back.

A short old man came out from inside, his eyes didn't look very good, he stared at Yi Xue for a long time, and then asked, "What is the girl going to do? Blacksmithing, weapons, or farm tools?"

"Make this thing", Yi Xue took out the drawing and handed it to the old man. She didn't say anything specific, because the plow itself is a combination of two parts, so the lower part is an iron plowshare, and the upper part is wooden of.What she showed the old blacksmith was the lower part.

The old blacksmith looked at it for a while, his eyes were almost glued to the blueprint, but he still couldn't understand it. There was no other way, so Yi Xue had to tell him what it was like. After a long time, the old man suddenly realized.

"I've never made this stuff before. Fei Tie is old and young, and it takes a little effort. It's a bit more difficult to make. It probably costs a lot of money, girl, have you thought about it?" said the old blacksmith with a solemn expression.

"Master, just tell me how much money you want." Now that Yi Xue has money, she has a lot of confidence.

"At least 30 taels of silver," the old blacksmith replied.

When Yi Xue heard that the price was about the same as what she had estimated, she directly agreed, "Make me five pairs, but master, you must do it carefully, and it will be perfect."

The old blacksmith glared at Yi Xue, then pointed to the sign hanging outside the door, "Young old man does not deceive", and said, "My signboard has been around for 40 years, but I have never fooled anyone. We have lived in this place." How many years have we been together, never...", he continued to babble.

Yi Xue hurriedly apologized, and hurriedly paid the deposit of 50 taels, otherwise it would be too late to listen to his rambling.

Yi Xue went to the woodware shop again and asked the boss to make the top parts of five pairs of plow tools, each only asking five taels of silver.Yi Xue was looking for egg sellers in the market, and saw many village women selling eggs to subsidize their families.

After buying 100 eggs, Yi Xue bought a lot of things, including tea, pepper and so on.Lao Zhangtou also found it and bought more than 300 eggs, now there are more than [-] eggs.Yi Xue also made an agreement with those who sell eggs to buy them every five days. As a result, the aunts were so happy that they almost praised Yi Xue as a living Bodhisattva.

Just when she felt satisfied and went home, she suddenly saw a village woman on the street stall with a basket of yellow beans.It turned out to be soybeans, Yixue was overjoyed, she immediately thought of soybean milk, tofu, and tofu flower.

"Mother, where did these things come from?" Yi Xue asked hastily.

The aunt's face was a little pale, and she looked sickly, "Girl, you ask this bean, it grows behind the mountain in my family, I thought it might be worth some money to sell, who knows that no one would buy it"

"Ma'am, don't you know that this thing can be used to make tofu?" Yi Xue didn't know if tofu was sold in this world, so she still asked.

"Tofu? What is tofu?" The aunt looked at Yi Xue eagerly.

"Uncle Zhang, do you know about tofu?" Yi Xue asked the old man.

Lao Zhang shook his head, "I haven't heard of it."

Yi Xue immediately saw that this was a business opportunity and a fortune.

"Ma'am, where are these beans and how much are there?" Yi Xue asked anxiously.

"Ah, this, there are many, many behind my house", the aunt seemed to see that Yi Xue was interested in soybeans, and said hastily.

"Ma'am, I want this. If there are many, how much do I want? How about five cents per catty?" Yi Xue asked.

"Five Wen?" The aunt was excited. She originally thought that two Wen per catty would be good. Who knows if she can sell it, but the girl in front of her is actually going to buy it for five Wen. She said happily, "Girl , there are too many, I will give you as much as you want, just three pennies."

"Ma'am, it's only five cents. Where does your family live?" Yi Xue asked.
