Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 57

Qian Feng counted, and there were seven bullock carts in total, and they were lined up in the yard in the order of first come, first come.There were two boys carrying bags and weighing them, and an accountant was dialing beads.

Someone came forward to ask the price, and the accountant held out four fingers.

Pomegranate also saw it, pulled Qian Feng's sleeve and muttered: "It's only four Wen a catty, why is it not as expensive as pork, and the grain is sold for three or four Wen a catty, didn't you say silkworm cocoons are very precious things? "

Qian Feng frowned and pondered for a while, then suddenly his eyes sparkled, "No, it should be forty Wen a catty!"

At this time they heard the accountant say: "Zhang Sanzhu, two hundred catties of white cocoons, eight pennies, twenty catties of yellow cocoons, four hundred Wen." After the accountant finished speaking, the man named Zhang Sanzhu happily went forward to collect the money.

Both Qian Feng and Shiliu stretched their necks to watch others receive the money. Zhang Sanzhu put the money in a big cloth pocket, and the copper plates jingled. There was really a lot of money!
Qian Feng asked Shiliu in a low voice, "The usual money is one thousand Wen, right?"

Shiliu didn't blink her eyes when she saw the money being received. Qian Feng touched her, and then she came to her senses, nodded and said, "Yes!"

"That's [-] Wen a catty for white cocoons, and [-] Wen a catty for yellow cocoons." Sitting on the cart, Qian Feng began to calculate how much his silkworm cocoons could sell for.

Pomegranate was beside me excitedly as if chanting, "We're getting rich too, we're getting rich too, we're getting rich too..."

Qian Feng calculated carefully. The five big bags of silkworms have been weighed at home, and they weigh 120 kilograms. Because the silkworm cocoons are extremely light, this big bag only weighs more than 20 kilograms. If it is for grain, one bag can hold hundreds of kilograms. Woolen cloth.There is less than one bag of yellow silkworms, only sixteen catties.As long as the difference in weight is not too much, these can be sold for 120 Wen, which is really a fortune!
"Qian Feng, that Zhang Sanzhu doesn't want copper coins anymore, he wants to exchange them for silver." Shiliu pulled Qian Feng, "Look, he exchanged eight guan coins for eight liang of silver! Let's exchange some later Is silver okay?"

Qian Feng saw Zhang Sanzhu biting the silver ingots with his teeth, biting each one once, he chuckled, "Okay, we want a few silver ingots too."

The seven people in front all sold the silkworm cocoons, and happily pulled the bullock cart out with money in their pockets.At this time, a skinny little guy ran over to help Qian Feng move the sacks from the bullock cart. He looked at Qian Feng while moving, and suddenly stopped, came to Qian Feng and looked at him carefully .

Qian Feng was amused, "What's the matter, do you collect silkworm cocoons based on their appearance?"

The young man confirmed that he was not blind, and said, "Guest officer, we cannot accept your silkworm cocoons."

Qian Feng's head buzzed, "What? Is my appearance not good enough?"

The boy smiled innocently, "You don't look like..."

Qian Feng rushed to talk: "Oh, I'm not good-looking so I can't catch your eyes? The seven people just now were all crooked, and I'm the only one who looks better!" Straightening his back, "I'm the suave and elegant Qian Feng! Am I missing a nose or blind, what's wrong with me?"

The little guy took a step back with a smile, "I... I don't know you."

Qian Feng was taken aback, "It's enough for you to know silkworm cocoons, why do you need to know people?"

The little guy smiled and said, "We just want to recognize people."

Qian Feng was furious, "It's really strange, you don't look at silkworm cocoons in business, why don't you look at people at all, you are silkworm cocoon dealers, not human traffickers!"

The young man was frightened by Qian Feng's aura, "We are not human traffickers, not human traffickers."

At this time, another fat boy came over with a pole and a steelyard, "Huh? This guy doesn't seem to have a crooked mouth."

The thin guy quickly responded: "That's right, he's not crooked, we can't accept him."

Seeing that they refused to accept her, Shiliu said anxiously: "Qian Feng, they only accept those with crooked mouths. If your mouth is not crooked, they won't accept it. What should I do?"

Qian Feng stood in front of the two clerks, grinning his mouth sideways, "Look, isn't this just a crooked mouth?"

The two guys were startled for a moment, and then laughed out loud, so that Pomegranate couldn't figure it out, obviously they said they only accept crooked mouths.

Only then did Qian Feng realize what was going on, and said with a blushing face: "Why do you have to accept the crooked mouth? Since he didn't come, wouldn't you accept mine as well? My silkworm cocoons are definitely no better than his. Difference."

At this time, the accountant had finished reconciling the accounts, and he walked over with a sullen face, "You two are really useless, why bother with him, tell him to go out quickly!"

Qian Feng saw that the accountant was putting on a big air, and said: "Hey! It is said that businessmen should greet people with a smile on their faces. Why are you chasing people away? I sell silkworm cocoons, and you collect silkworm cocoons. Everyone has money to earn money." No, it’s okay, you insist on accepting the crooked ones and not me, why is that?”

The accountant said impatiently: "You raised silkworms privately, I didn't go to the government to sue you, it's not bad, you are still messing around? Get out!"

Seeing that her man was angry, Shiliu stepped forward and said fiercely: "We won't leave! We're going to stay here! How do you want to recruit?"
