Shoufu's favored wife is sweet and sassy

Chapter 18, go to the market

At dawn, Xiaoqing set off with her brothers.

As soon as he got on the bullock cart, behind him was Wang Ergou, who was carrying a burden to sell tofu in the town.

Xiaoqing glanced at it, and thought about buying a piece of tofu when she came back. This product is much cheaper than meat, but its nutritional value is far higher than that of grain, but she doesn't know when there will be another tofu seller in the village.

When they arrived in the town, the second elder brother Chen Qile and the third elder brother Chen Qishe said goodbye to their families and headed south all the way.

Xiaoqing and the others split up. After all, there were too many things to buy, so they made an appointment to meet at the "Zhou Da Niang Baozi Shop" in the town at noon.

Chen Qili is in his late twenties this year, and because he knows a little bit about pen and ink, he usually works as a clerk in a bookstore in the town, so he is very familiar with the town.

Along the way, he introduced the situation in the town to his sister, and led her through shops.

The two came to the market where the cattle were sold.

Wang Ergou, who sells tofu, also happens to set up a stall here.

"You two guest officers, are you choosing cattle?"

"How much silver is your cow?"

"20 taels for a bull, 15 taels for a cow."

"A bull is much stronger than a cow. We want a bull."

"Brother, we have a lot of work, and we have to go out to buy frequently in the future. One cow is not enough, so we need a male and a female, and we can alternately rest."

"Yes, the female guest officer is right. Cows are weak, but they can also support five or six laborers. If the farming season is busy, there will be a lot of wages left over."

The cattle dealer saw that the two bought two cows, and his attitude was much more enthusiastic.

"Miss, do you have a look at the car?" "

In the end, the two chose a ten silver car and put it on the cow. The car was three meters long and four meters long, and the roof was very strong.

Looking at the elder brother who felt distressed, Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Brother, look at the street, is there a rich man?"

"How could it be? How could those rich men come here? They are all traffickers, poor people who earn their hard-earned money."

"Then have you thought about why they don't use it, and where does their money come from?"

"The accumulation of the family's ancestors for generations, people do big business, and they can get ten thousand taels of silver if they talk about it. The following hard work is done by us."

"That's right, brother, so the rich are getting richer, and the poor will always be poor, because the cost of input is different. The rich buy resources with money, and then trade them to make a profit, even if it is a small profit. Ten thousand taels becomes ten thousand taels. And the poor, who have no capital, can only rely on labor, they are empty-handed wolves, but earn more than ten taels a year."

Seeing the elder brother's thoughtful look, Xiaoqing said: "So the money we spend on business is called investment, and we have to earn back ten times and a hundred times. Therefore, the more money we spend, the more money we earn." more."

Unknowingly, Chen Qili, who had been indoctrinated into a set of theories by his sister, did not feel so distressed after thinking about it carefully.

The ox cart strolled slowly to the pharmacy in the town.

"Master Shi, good morning."

When the two got out of the car, they happened to bump into the shopkeeper of the pharmacy, and Chen Qili hurriedly saluted.

Shopkeeper Shi is in his forties this year, with a kind-hearted and thin appearance, "Master Chen, good morning, what's the matter?"

"Don't dare, shopkeeper Shi, this is my sister."

After exchanging pleasantries, shopkeeper Shi was a little surprised:
"Do you want so many seeds? I need some time for this. We don't have any in the shop, but you should be able to find them in the city. This kind of thing is not easy to take care of. If you can really grow them, you can come to me directly when the time comes."

"In that case, please ask shopkeeper Shi. When you have a letter, ask someone to find me in the study."

This time, not only the seeds have been settled, but even the finished products that have been planted have a home, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Farewell to shopkeeper Shi, a stone in Xiaoqing's heart fell to the ground today.

Let the eldest brother drive around the town in a bullock cart to buy a lot of rice, flour, grain and oil. After all, a dozen people need to eat and drink, which is also a big expense.
