Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 40 Big purchase (1)
"Quick, quick, quick, it's here, this little girl." Xiao Hua only heard a sound.After a while, a group of people who were obviously better dressed than ordinary people ran to their stall and asked how to sell this bamboo shoot, how much it was, and if it could be cheaper.

The whole Xiaohua and Jingniang were dumbfounded.What's going on here, who can tell her?
At this time, a person squeezed in from the crowd, the uncle who was the first to buy her bamboo shoots and wild eggs last time.Seeing him squeeze in, he immediately said, "Little girl, how many more bamboo shoots did you sell last time? I'll buy them all."

At this time, many early arrivals protested: "Why do you want all of them? I came earlier than you, and we all came earlier than you. If you want it, go to the back first."

"Yes, yes, who is it, who came so late, and wants all of them."

"That's right, that bamboo shoot doesn't belong to your family. If you want to sell it, you can see if the little girl still sells it."

"Little girl, let me tell you, I was the first one to arrive. If I want to sell it, I have to wait until I buy it. You are selling it."

Looking at the crowd, Xiaohua and Jingniang felt dizzy and confused, not knowing what was going on.At this moment, someone explained to her that after the uncle who was the first to buy the dried bamboo shoot bought it back, he fried some meat according to the method she said, and it tasted good.Then I took half of it and sent it to relatives in the county.It just so happened that the relative was in business. The county magistrate was a guest at his house that day, and he wanted to entertain the magistrate with a dish that the magistrate had never eaten, so he made this dish. Good, delicious", ever since.

Xiaohua rolled her eyes, and there it is, this is called celebrity effect, so let’s raise the price, before it sold for 3 yuan a catty, now it’s not too much to buy 5 yuan a catty, or maybe 6 yuan, the family is so poor, Before still owed.If it continues to rain, there will still be water dripping in the house, which is not asking for money.Since these people have money, why not take the opportunity to kill them.This is equivalent to the county magistrate acting as an endorsement.

"Okay, okay, take your time one by one. This is 6 Wen per catty, no second price, please queue up if you want to buy it, don't ask me why the price is so high, you must know that it has been raining for so many days , these are not easy to handle."

Those people just heard about 6 Wen, and wanted to say something, but they said no second price, and said something about rainy days, so they had to shut their mouths obediently.After all, they all want to eat and see what the magistrate says is delicious, and if they can make the magistrate happy, then everything will be easy, right?
In less than a quarter of an hour, Xiaohua and the others sold all the things they brought, because those who bought the bamboo shoots were richer than others, and they also bought all the wild eggs, wild rabbits, pheasants and so on.

In the end, the bamboo fungus was bought by the uncle who was buying dried bamboo shoots for the first time. Xiaohua brought two catties and sold it at a price of one tael or five cents.At first that person thought it was expensive, but thinking that the bamboo shoots made his relatives get the affirmation of the county magistrate last time, and he also got a lot of benefits, so he thought that this is also fresh, maybe it can be the same as the bamboo shoots, so he didn't say anything , I bought it, and the 2 catties of bamboo fungus sold for 160 Wen.It's just that the bamboo fungus is light, so two catties seems to be a lot. After Xiaohua taught the bamboo fungus how to do it, she and her mother closed the stall.The uncle also asked Xiaohua if there were any at home, and wanted to make a reservation with her. Xiaohua got a promise, saying that she could make a reservation and pay a deposit first, but he still had some at home. He asked him if he would pick it up by himself or would they send it to him?Three days after the final discussion, he came to pick it up in person, asked for the address, and left after paying a deposit of 100 Wen.

Jing Niang didn't know whether she was overjoyed or what, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.I got a lot of harvest today, the bamboo shoots alone sold 300 coins, but I had to give 150 coins to Xiaocao's family.Their family has 150 Wen, plus 160 Wen for bamboo fungus, 7 Wen for wild eggs, 7 Wen for pheasant, and 20 Wen for rabbits.This trip their family earned 344 Wen.

One must know that this is the usual income of their family for half a year. In less than two quarters of an hour... Xiao Hua and Jing Niang were very excited. Xiao Hua thought that she had never seen so much money.And Jing Niang was thinking, now she has made as much money as she could have made in the previous half a year, now it is all right, there are still some at home that can be sold, and they also gave a deposit of 100 Wen, so there is no need to be afraid now.You can also rest assured to buy more things that need to be purchased at home.

So the two of them held hands and went shopping together.Xiaohua silently made a list in her mind: how many bowls to buy; she needs cloth shoes urgently, so she also needs to buy cloth;Xiaohua thought of this, looked at it, and wondered if the money was enough.

Jing Niang took Xiao Hua to the oil and salt store first, the oil was still two catties, and it cost 5 Wen.Although the most leftover in the house last time was oil, but it’s not a problem, who would think that there is too much oil.I need to buy more salt. The last time it was almost the same. I made more this time. Anyway, I am not afraid of damage, so I bought 10 catties of salt in one go.The oil and salt cost 25 Wen.

接下来到米店，买了5斤普通的，6斤差点的。又买6了3文2斤的面粉。这个米粮店又花了28文。这一下子就去了五十几文，静娘的心疼的不行。

But there is no way, and then I have to buy urns and bowls.Jingniang also wanted to buy a knife, a chopping knife, but every time she chopped it with a kitchen knife, it made her feel very distressed.

It cost 5 Wen for 6 small bowls, 2 Wen for 2 small urns and 60 medium-large urns, and 15 Wen for a hatchet.These 81 cash, plus the rice noodles are 28 cash, the ox cart fare is 2 cash, and the steamed buns are 1 cash.A total of 102 essays were spent.

Xiao Hua took Jing Niang to look at the vegetable seeds again, and after this trip, she bought some small flowers and didn't know what species they were, but these were all bought by Jing Niang, which cost another 25 renminbi.

Jing Niang has never spent so much money before, it is such a waste of money, it hurts to think about it, but these are necessities, seeing how much money has been spent for so many years, Xiao Hua is too embarrassed to ask for cloth shoes.I have already spent 125 Wen, and I still have 2 Wen for the bus fare, and 15 Wen for the medicine when I go home.With more than 200 articles left, Xiaohua thought about hiring people to make bamboo shoots, or buying some bamboo shoots.If you don't take the opportunity to make a fortune at this time, when will you make it?

The mother and daughter carried things of various sizes, and moved them back and forth to the bullock cart several times before finishing.On the way, the two discussed going back and hiring some people to do it.Anyway, now that the magistrate of the county is acting as the spokesperson, he can make a lot of money while everyone is curious, otherwise they will lose the opportunity when others do it.

When the two of them got home, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. After paying the car fare and moving back and forth a few times, it was considered that they had all moved back home.Granny Ruan looked at these things and kept yelling about wasting money, but she knew in her heart that these were the necessities of life.
