It was already dark before Ruochuan returned home.
Ruoxuan immediately ran to Ruochuan with a bowl of water, "Uncle, drink some water!"
"Oh, Xuan Bao looks so beautiful in her new clothes today! She's beautiful and knows how to care for others. It's worth it that my uncle bought you such good things!" Aikawa touched his niece's head and happily took the bowl. Started drinking.
Xiangxuan, who was already happy to be praised for her beauty, was even more happy to hear that there was something good.
She saw that the cart only had one watermelon, a basket of oranges, a box of snacks, an exquisite wooden box, and a cloth bag of seeds.
Ruoxuan smelled it and found that they were all medicinal seeds. She said happily: "Uncle, the tiger, white fox and wolf were all sold? The bamboo fungus was also sold? How much money did it cost?"
After Ruochuan drank the water, he put down the bowl and picked up his little niece: "They were all sold. The tiger and the white fox were sold for two hundred and sixty taels together, the three wolves were sold for one hundred taels, and the baskets of bamboo fungus were sold to me. I sold them for twenty taels of silver. Those square bamboo shoots were exactly one hundred catties, three cents per catty, so I sold them for three hundred cents. For three hundred cents, I bought some snacks at Caidiexuan and came back to Xuanbao and my brothers to eat. I also bought some medicinal materials. There are only 480 seeds left!"
Ruoxuan did the math and shook her little head: "That's not right! My uncle made a mistake in counting. The remaining three hundred and eighty taels are correct!"
Ruochuan didn't expect Xuan Bao to be so smart and figure out the wrong number so quickly. He said vaguely: "Well, my uncle took some parts of the tiger, white fox and wolf and sold them separately, and he sold them for a hundred taels."
Upon hearing this, Ruoxuan's big eyes were filled with admiration: "Uncle, you are so smart! What part was taken?"
Ruochuan was greatly satisfied in his heart, and he replied evasively: "A valuable part."
Then he held Xuan Bao and vividly told the story of selling the tiger, the white fox and the wolf.
Today he went to Jishitang to sell tigers and white foxes, but the other party was only willing to give him a maximum of one hundred and fifty taels on the grounds that they had taken the furs from the tigers and white foxes.
The restaurant only gave me one hundred and sixty taels.
Xiaochuan was not satisfied with the price, so he did not sell it.
He went to the escort agency to find out if anyone wanted to buy tigers, white foxes or the like recently.
The escort agency sometimes receives missions to hunt tigers in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, some people actually buy tiger and wolf bones at high prices to make wine.
It's the end of the year, and it's the busiest time for the escort bureau. Who has time to take on a mission like hunting tigers in the mountains that will never come back if you're not careful?
The escort agency told Ruochuan the address of the wealthy businessman.
Ruochuan went directly to the wealthy businessman, and with his sharp tongue, he sold the tiger, wolf, and white fox to the wealthy businessman and asked him to make three-bone wine.
Three doses of White Bone Essence proves that Three Bone Wine is more powerful! He coaxed him like this, and the wealthy businessman believed him.
Of course, it just so happened that the wealthy businessman had a friend whose mother needed white fox meat for medicinal purposes, so she bought the whole white fox as well.
Ruochuan also knew that there was a wealthy businessman in Fucheng who was lacking in some aspects. He bought tiger penises, bull penises and the like all year round to replenish his body.
He had already taken down the tiger whip, wolf whip, and fox whip, and went to find another wealthy businessman. He sold the three whips for a total of one hundred taels!
Because he traveled a lot today, he got home so late.
Mrs. Lei smiled and said: "Xuan Bao is right, you have to sell things to the right people in order to make more money."
The tigers and white foxes sold today were sold at a high price because their furs were kept. I thought it would be a high price to sell for one hundred and fifty taels, but I didn't expect that they would sell for sixty taels more.
Ruochuan nodded in agreement: "I have made an agreement with the restaurant about bamboo fungus. If we pick bamboo fungus, we can hand it over to the restaurant. The fresh bamboo fungus will be sold to the restaurant for 1,500 yuan per pound. Two silver coins per catty."
Although he did not pick the bamboo fungus, Ruochuan often went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest since he was a child. He also knows that bamboo fungus is not common, even rarer than mushrooms. Dried mushrooms can be sold for hundreds of cash per catty in restaurants.
Things are more expensive when they are rare, and bamboo fungus is even rarer, so the price is naturally higher.
Moreover, Xuan Bao said that bamboo fungus has medicinal effects of benefiting qi and nourishing the brain, calming the mind and strengthening the body, and protecting the liver, so the price cannot be low.
Ruo Hang immediately said: "Then I will go to the mountains more often to pick bamboo fungus."
Xianbo and Xianbang also nodded and said that they would leave the work of picking bamboo fungus to them.
They also want to help their families earn money.
Ruochuan smiled and touched the heads of several nephews and praised them, "I gave two wealthy businessmen a basket of bamboo fungus, so that they could eat it deliciously and buy from me in the future. They gave it to me Some fruits and kid stuff.”
Ruochuan took the wooden box off the cart and opened it. Xuan Bao saw two silk flowers, a rattle, nine rings and other things for children to play with.
"Xuan Bao plays with his brothers."
"Okay!" Xiuxuan took it with a smile. Except for the two silk flowers that could be worn on her head, she was not interested in these things. It was too simple. She only took the two silk flowers and gave the rest to her brothers. She went to see Yaocun Seeds.
They are common Chinese herbal medicines that are easy to grow and can be planted as soon as spring comes.
Ruochuan gave several children a piece of snack each. He was afraid that they would eat too much and not eat, so he did not dare to give too much.
For dinner, the family sat together to eat hot pot. There were meat, vegetables, soup, food and money. The family was very satisfied.
Especially the bamboo fungus has received unanimous praise!
Ruoxuan suddenly thought of something and said: "There are four hundred taels of copied books, which is enough to build a house. Is the four hundred and eighty taels enough for us to buy a shop in the city?"
Ruochuan said: "It's almost the same in the county town. Buying a shop depends on the location and size. The more prosperous streets, the more expensive the shops. But if Xuan Bao wants to open a study, it is almost enough to buy a shop near the academy, but the shops near the academy are almost enough. It’s not often for sale either.”
Ruoshui: "The shops in the prosperous streets in the city are rarely for sale, but there are shops for sale in the deserted streets. But the streets are deserted, there are no customers, and business is not easy to do. It is difficult to repay the investment or it is very difficult to do so. rent it out."
Ruoxuan: "Then let's take a look at it first and then buy something suitable!"
Mrs. Lei smiled and said, "Xuan Bao is really far-sighted."
Jiang also smiled and said: "The smartest and most far-sighted person in our family is Xuan Bao! When she has money, she wants to buy land and build houses, buy fruit trees and medicinal materials in barren hills, and buy shops. She does things that even adults can't think of. Think first!"
Although the two boys in her family are also smart in knowledge, compared with Xuan Bao, they are far behind in all aspects.
Jiang glanced at his two sons with disgust.
Xiaohang and Xiaobo smiled. Their sister was smarter than them, and they were also happy.
Ruoxuan took the opportunity and said: "Grandma, take me into the city tomorrow to see if there are any shops selling it!"
Mrs. Lei was stunned for a moment, are you in such a hurry?
My family has been so busy recently.
Ruoxuan blinked at Mrs. Lei. Seeing this, Mrs. Lei thought that Xuan Bao had something to go to the city and nodded: "Okay!"
Xiangbang was studying recently and got a little tired of practicing calligraphy, so he said: "Grandma, I want to go too."
Ruo Hang and Ruo Bo immediately said: "Grandma, I also want to buy a shop!"
"Grandma, can I go and help look at the shop too?"
How old are these children? How can they have the patience to stay at home all day reading and practicing calligraphy? Mrs. Lei thought that her granddaughter went to the city every day and her grandson had not been to the city for a long time, so she smiled and said, "Okay, tomorrow happens to be market day, and grandma will take you to the city for the market."
Several boys laughed: I can finally relax!
The next day, before dawn, Mrs. Lei made breakfast for her family. Then, at Xuan Bao's request, she took her grandchildren to the bamboo forest to pick two baskets of bamboo fungus and a basket of wild grapes before heading into the city. .
See you tonight
