Farmer's Ruyi Manor

Chapter 46 Rumors (1)
"This is not impossible, but you also know that we just sold 50 catties a few days ago, and someone took away nearly 200 catties this morning. There is no more at home now. I don't know if you can wait. If so, the price what does it look like?"

"We can wait a few days for this, but I want to know how long the dried bamboo shoots can be kept? Our Yuelai Restaurant not only has them in the town, but also in the county, and also in Qingzhou City. I want to order more from you."

"If the bamboo shoots are completely dried, the price will definitely be different from what it is now. However, the taste of completely dried bamboo shoots is different from that of the bamboo shoots I have in Huangcun. There are also fresh ones. If you want to receive them according to the order, I can also give you a few recipes for free. But we have to sign a contract, and I can’t understand what you are saying. I want to learn a language with you. I don’t know what you want?” All said and done.

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a while and said, "See if this works. I buy the fresh bamboo shoots from your side at a price of 7 cents per catty. The dried bamboo shoots sold in Huangcunshang are 9 cents per catty. I don't know what to do." What is it like? For the time being, let’s set it at [-] cents per catty, how about some? In addition, there is no problem in learning the language, and it will save us the inconvenience of communication.”

After hearing this, Village Chief Cheng was taken aback. He knew that the price was sky-high. Vegetables grown in the field cost only one penny for two catties, and these bamboo shoots cost two pennies per catty.But there was nothing to hide, so I had to tell Xiaohua the truth.

Xiaohua thought for a while and said: "There is nothing wrong with these, but we don't provide fresh bamboo shoots, we only provide dry goods, and we don't provide recipes for fresh bamboo shoots. What we sell, what recipes we provide, and an item only Provide a recipe. In addition, for the dried bamboo shoots, I want to add a clause when we write the contract. Within one year, no matter what the market price is, we will keep this price unchanged. In addition, what else do we have here? I will inform you as soon as possible, and we will discuss the price later, what do you think?"

In fact, Xiaohua thought: this bamboo shoot business has not been established for a long time, and it is easy to figure out due to the seasonality. I believe it will be made by others in a short time, and the taste may be more or less different.With this guarantee, the next step is to let go and do a big job.You can earn as much as you can.Repairing the house at home is the top priority. She no longer wants to live a life where it rains outside and it rains inside.I don't know when it will rain this day, and I'm almost worried about her.

"That's no problem, then let's make a contract. Do you have paper and pens at home?" Although shopkeeper Liu also knew what Xiaohua was thinking, he was sure that this little girl was definitely not someone in the pool. He couldn't say these words, so he didn't believe in Xiaohua so much as he believed in his own vision.

Xiaohua shook her head, and the village chief quickly said that his family had it, and he could go to his house to draw up a contract.Here, Mrs. Zhou followed after hearing the village chief's translation just now, and left after watching.I thought to myself: "What, Wu Jingniang only gave them one penny a catty, and if she wanted to be greedy for a penny, it really was a black-hearted thing. The dried bamboo shoots are so expensive, and they are given such a cheap price. You must take care of them." Go publicize."

The village chief wrote the contract according to the wishes of both parties, and made two copies. After the two parties checked and confirmed that there was no problem, they stamped it (Xiaohua's finger print, shopkeeper Liu carried the engraved seal), and then it became effective.

Shopkeeper Liu took a look and stamped it if there was no problem.The village head saw that Xiaohua picked it up, looked at it, nodded, then dipped his thumb in some ink and blew on it, then pressed it down.I was still wondering, Xiao Hua seemed to be literate.But there are not many literate people in Chengjiakeng, except for Xiucai's family, he doesn't even know many characters in his family's children, and the other literate children can count with five fingers.But what is going on?He couldn't figure it out either.

The two parties agreed to come back to pick up the bamboo shoots at the end of March, and once again at the tenth day of April and at the end of the month.May follows April, and after May, we will discuss the date in detail.In addition, Xiaohua proposed that shopkeeper Liu send someone to teach her the language of the town for three days a month.They were the first day, the eleventh day and the 4st day of the junior high school respectively. Shopkeeper Liu agreed and went back.

Xiaohua carefully put away her own contract, and went home bouncing around.Today is really a good day, no wonder I always feel magpies singing on the branches in the morning.what is this?It's the psychological effect of this thing.

When I got home and passed the yard, Xiao Hua greeted her grandma and Xiao Zhuzi, and she went to sleep beautifully.Is it easy to sleep? She, this afternoon, was woken up from time to time.But now I can finally sleep well.

In the evening, Jing Niang came back from the field, and said that the pruning of the field had already been done, and the seeds she sowed in the field must have grown faster than the small flowers grown at home.

At the dinner table, "Mother, this is the contract I signed with the Yuelai Restaurant in the town in the afternoon. In the next year, our dried bamboo shoots will be sold to his family for 9 cents per catty, and the completely dried bamboo shoots will be sold for [-] cents per catty." I want to take advantage of the fact that the bamboo shoots are still tender during this period, so I can hire more people to dig them up and give me more money. Let’s raise the price a bit and make less money for myself, but if there are more bamboo shoots, we will relatively Earn more. What do you think?"

"Yes, yes, but do you think the price is appropriate? Also, although the family has a tael of silver now, there are too many things to buy at home, and the house needs to be rebuilt. It often rains in these months of every year. , we have to renovate it when the weather is good, but the money is not enough. There is another problem, it will rain a lot during this period, if we spend all the money to do these things, what will happen to our family?" Jing The mother is worried.

"Xiao Hua, I think what your mother said is right. During this period of the year, it rains for more than half of the month. The weather is fine these few days. If you don't take advantage of these few days to repair it, you won't know if it rains again later. What should I do, hey..." Mrs. Ruan was also afraid that it would rain outside, and it would also rain inside.

"Sister...Xiao Zhuzi doesn't like...it's raining either..." Xiao Zhuzi said to Xiao Hua with her mouth pouted and a cute face on her face.

"Mother, grandma, I know this too. But if we don't take the opportunity to earn more money, what will happen in the future? Hey..." In fact, she also really wants to earn more and live a better life.She didn't know if she could bear it in her heart if she continued to live in such a shabby way, it was too tortured.

"Mom, grandma, do you have any better solutions? Or should we ask someone to help look at some big branches on the roof these days?"

"I can't bear the big branches on the roof, they will be crushed." Jing Niang and Mrs. Ruan looked at each other, feeling a little helpless, and sighed for an unknown amount of time.
