To make this large grocery store, in addition to rice noodles, oil fume, wine, pots and bowls, clothing, silk handkerchiefs and so on, it also needs a long-term supply of vegetables, melons and fruits.

Other goods need to get a cheap price on the ship, and for other vegetables, melons and fruits, it's best to go to the farmers in Zhuangzi to reach a deal directly.

To this end, Xia Xiaochan decided to visit Zhuangzi near Suyang city.

Coincidentally, on the way home that afternoon, Xia Xiaochan met several farmers who were selling vegetables. Xia Xiaochan walked over and greeted her warmly.

"Uncle, come and bring the vegetables. Look, how fresh my vegetables are, and the onions and spinach... They have just been pulled out of the ground."

Xia Xiaochan came over and saw that the vegetables were really fresh. She said, "how much is this green vegetable? How much is spinach? How do you sell scallion seeds?"

"My vegetables are counted according to the number, but I have weighed them at home. They are one kilogram, one for only two Wen."

Xia Xiaochan calculated the price and couldn't help saying, "are some green vegetables expensive?"

The farmer shook his head and said, "I'm fresh. As long as I send it to master Liu, people will accept it immediately. There's a lot of money. If you need it, buy one. Don't forget it."

Xia Xiaochan paid for a handful of vegetables and said, "Sir, you should have sent them to master Liu for a long time. What's the discount?"

The old man said, "I don't hide you. I've been delivering vegetables to him for a long time. Therefore, the price is calculated according to the rule of buying two and giving one green vegetable."

"That's equivalent to four Wen for three handfuls of vegetables, and a little more than a copper for one handfuls of vegetables." after a pause, Xia Xiaochan said, "Sir, can I go to your village? I want to buy a lot of vegetables for a long time."

Hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up.

"A lot? How much do you want?"

"I need you to deliver vegetables on time every day. Now, because it's the early stage of delivering vegetables, let's take hundreds of each kind of vegetables."

It's not easy to preserve the vegetables here. Xia Xiaochan wants each other's vegetables to be fresh and good, but because it's not easy to preserve, the amount needed is not very large.

After all, at the beginning of her creativity, the most important thing is to save costs.

The father-in-law looked at her and saw that she was dressed neatly and the whole person was a rare good talent. In his heart, he decided that he was not coaxing people to play, so he immediately agreed and said, "big brother, if you want to buy food, you can find the right person. You need it. Wait for me. I'll send the food to master Liu. When it's finished, I'll take the big brother immediately."

"How far is it from you to Chuang Tzu?"

Xia Xiaochan looked at the time. There is a night ban. If it's too late, I'm afraid I can't come back at night.

The man selling vegetables said, "Sir, our Chuang Tzu is not too far from here. If you know you want to buy vegetables, everyone will be very happy."

In fact, everyone in the village grows vegetables. In addition to growing vegetables, everyone has no other skills.

But a city is so big and there are so many people buying vegetables, which also makes most of the days in the village very difficult and the vegetables can't be sold.

The family can only sell the grain collected in autumn and raise pigs, chickens and ducks for a year.

No matter whether it's windy or rainy, they work in the field every day. The days are really not good. The weather in the south is warm, the vegetables grow very well, and the farmers can't eat all the vegetables.

Next, the father-in-law introduced himself.

"Brother, I'm from orange village nearby. My surname is Qi. Everyone calls me old man Qi. In our village, there are orange trees everywhere. There is no fertile field in the village. Because of this, everyone grows vegetables to sell. There are more people here, and our village is a little more remote than other villages. Most people in this city like to buy from others, which leads to our village It's hard for me to deliver vegetables to master Liu because my daughter works as a servant girl in Master Liu's house. Otherwise, I'm afraid my family will have a hard time. "

Xia Xiaochan nodded and said, "if there is a carriage, can you come to your village in half an hour?"

"If there is a carriage, of course, but... There is no carriage in my family."

I don't have much money to sell vegetables this trip. If I rent a carriage, the vegetables won't be sold in vain?

"Don't worry, sir. I'll rent a carriage to your village."

"How does this work? Either, or I'll pay."

"I really don't need to be polite to me. It's a rare fate for us. When we arrive at the village, we say we don't have to disturb your house. Please forgive me at that time!"

The father-in-law was a happy man, so he nodded, "brother, wait for me. I will come back as soon as I burn incense."

When Xia Xiaochan saw that the old man Qi had left, she asked him to take his two children aside and rent a carriage. After waiting for a moment, the old man Liu came back with a bad face.

Xia Xiaochan asked people to get on the carriage together. Old man Qi shook his head again and again. Finally, he only sat beside the groom to show the way. With the sound of "driving", the carriage galloped out of the city.

The suburbs here look green and very comfortable. Outside, the conversation between the fare and old man Liu also enters Xia Xiaochan's ears.

"Big brother, it's your carriage. What a coincidence."

"Lao Qi, I thought it was the guest you recommended. By the way, did you take the guest back to the village? You didn't look good just now. What's the matter?"

After hearing this, old man Qi couldn't help it any longer. A big man cried.

"Elder brother, hey, you don't know. I sent my child to master Liu's house in the city to be a rough servant girl. All this is because I'm useless. It's all to subsidize the family, but I just went to look at her swollen hands like steamed bread. I'm like a knife in my heart."

"What's the matter? Have you been punished?"

The old man Qi was silent for a moment and said, "she was beaten by the hostess. She said a word with the male host and was beaten immediately."

"All blame me, all blame me. If I wasn't useless, how could the good child be sent away?"

At the end, he was sobbing.

Xia Xiaochan listened in the carriage. She just listened, silent and didn't say much.

At a good time of the year, the girls who are not valued in the family just sign the living deed to work. If they sign the dead deed, it is really sad. If they can't do it well, they will be dead at a young age.

The Little Regiment wanted to cry and sobbed, "Mom, his daughter is so poor. Shall we help her?"

"Help? How? Give her the money?"
