Jiang Sheng was startled. Their thinking seemed to be fixed by cotton-padded clothes and mushrooms. They only knew how to flip mushrooms and cotton-padded clothes. But in fact, as long as there is a price difference, there is nothing that cannot be flipped.
Zheng Ruqian stood up suddenly and rushed out.
Jiang Sheng followed closely behind.
In the evening, the brother and sister came back carrying a pile of beans and eggplants.
Zheng Ruqian's face lit up, "I can't carry it anymore. Tomorrow, some villagers will send it over to keep the donkey cart full."
Jiang Sheng was too tired to speak and collapsed next to Xu Mo to catch his breath.
Wen Zhiyun was the timid one and frowned, "Can it really be sold?"
If I can't sell it, I won't be able to eat eggplant and beans for the next two months.
"It should... be possible." Zheng Ruqian was not sure.
But both he and Jiang Sheng suffered from caution and decided to be more generous this time.
Besides, the beans and eggplants recovered for one penny and two kilograms are not considered a loss even if they are sold in the town at the original price.
the next day.
Sure enough, as Zheng Ruqian said, many villagers in the village carried beans, eggplants and buds that they had stored at home, and whatever was left over was donated.
In the end, the donkey cart couldn't hold it anymore, so the villagers went back.
Jiang Sheng sat at the door of the ruined temple, staring blankly at this scene. She thought that she seemed to know what it meant to make parts into whole.
A handful of eggplants and a handful of beans are worthless in the hands of the villagers. No one wants to sell them, and they can't eat them.
But when it is purchased in a unified manner and delivered in large quantities, there is a chance to exchange it for money.
If they can reach a long-term cooperation like mushrooms, they can feed the family just by harvesting vegetables.
The more Jiang Sheng thought about it, the more excited he became, and he was about to leave for the county seat.
But when she arrived at the donkey cart, she was dumbfounded. The food was too full, and not even the driver had room to sit, let alone people.
Even if they manage to clean up, they can only take two or three people with them.
There are six brothers and sisters in total in the ruined temple. Who should be left behind is a question worth considering.
Xu Mo has bad legs, Wen Zhiyun is timid and too dull for a long banquet.
Theoretically, they should be left behind, but Jiang Sheng was not at ease.
She didn't even dare to think about it if Pang Pangshan took the opportunity to retaliate.
"How about I stay?" The little girl struggled in her heart for a long time and finally made a decision, "Second brother and third brother are going to deliver goods. Remember to bring some cotton clothes back for me."
"No, let me stay." Zheng Ruqian said righteously, "My little sister is the best at bargaining. I'm afraid I can't get cotton-padded clothes at a low price."
Fang Heng was just about to give in, but remembered that he was the only one who could drive a donkey cart, so he shut up again.
They were about to argue.
Xu Mo chuckled, "Don't worry, the three of us are here, Pang Pangshan won't dare."
"Besides, this is the entrance to the village, and people from the village are coming and going. We will ask for help."
"Go ahead and come back early."
The eldest brother is indeed an eldest brother, and with a few words he calmed Jiang Sheng's manic and depressed heart.
She and Zheng Ruqian sat on a flat cart with their baskets on their backs, and Fang Heng drove the donkey cart towards the county seat.
The ruined temple and the three brothers inside became smaller and smaller, and finally became a black spot.
Passing by the town, someone was surprised when they saw the cart full of vegetables and planned to buy two handfuls.
Unexpectedly, the donkey cart did not stop in the town at all, but went straight to the county seat.
An hour later, the donkey cart stopped at the door of Youranju.
Jiang Sheng jumped down with the basket on her back, and when she saw the second brother who had received her last time, she waved vigorously, "Brother, second brother, it's us."
The waiter also saw them and rushed over with a smile, "Give me mushrooms."
When he saw the car full of eggplants and beans, his eyes widened, "Is this yours?"
"Yes." Jiang Sheng smiled sweetly, "Brother, is the shopkeeper here? We would like to send some eggplant and beans to the store."
Theoretically, Youran has no shortage of eggplants and beans.
But they had cooperation on mushrooms, and Jiang Sheng also brought the dishes to the door. As long as the price was right, Youran could eat it.
Soon, the shopkeeper came in from outside.
He held a handful of beans and two eggplants in his hand. He checked the freshness first, then nodded and said, "What's the price?"
Just as Jiang Sheng was about to speak, Zheng Ruqian covered her mouth.
The price for mushrooms was given too early last time, but this time they couldn't give out eggplant and beans first.
Zheng Ruqian looked a little shy and finally came up with an idea, "Tell me, the shopkeeper, what price can you give me?"
Children are getting smarter and smarter.
The shopkeeper took a deep look at Zheng Ruqian and nodded with a smile, "The price in the county is one penny per catty. If you give me this price, I might as well buy it directly in the county."
In the final analysis, we still need to lower prices and make profits.
Zheng Ruqian nodded, "What price does the shopkeeper think is acceptable?"
The middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "You will definitely not be happy with one penny and two catties, so let's give it two cents and three catties."
Equivalent to one penny and a pound.
Zheng Ruqian could accept this price, but he wanted to negotiate further, "Four pennies and five pounds is cheaper than in the county, but the shopkeeper also has to earn some hard money for us."
This kind of tug-of-war is constantly testing other people's bottom lines. Sellers want to sell more, and buyers want to buy cheaper.
The shopkeeper is not someone who is short of a penny or two, but he is very particular about business. Youranju has been buying food in the county, and suddenly he doesn't want it anymore. There must be a reason.
For example, the new food supplier is cheaper or fresher.
The food delivered by the two children is indeed good, fresh and cheap, but they are too young, which always makes people doubt whether they can take on the responsibility of providing food for a long time.
The middle-aged shopkeeper thought he should play it safe and only wanted fresh wild mushrooms.
But facing two pairs of expectant eyes, he nodded again mysteriously.
Some people are born in mud and grow in dust. If no one gives them a chance, they may never be able to bloom.
Hopefully, these two little devils won't let him down.
In the private room on the second floor of Youranju, the shopkeeper held up the abacus and fiddled with it, making it crackle.
"Four pennies and five kilograms, eggplants and beans weighing a total of ninety-five kilograms, should be settled at seventy-six pennies. Mushrooms costing four pennies and a kilogram, weighing a total of ten kilograms, forty pennies, together they are one hundred Sixteen articles."
After calculating clearly, he took out one hundred and sixteen copper coins and said with a smile on his face, "My surname is Bai. From now on, I will deliver seasonal dishes to Youranju every two days. Is that feasible?"
Jiang Sheng pocketed the money and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll deliver it to Shopkeeper Bai."
"We can agree that if one of you breaks the contract without any reason, the cooperation will be invalidated." Although shopkeeper Bai gave the opportunity, he was not soft-hearted and had no bottom line.
As a businessman, profit comes first after all.
Come out of Youranju.
Jiang Sheng and Zheng Ruqian looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
If selling mushrooms was just a small thing, at this moment, they really got the entrance ticket to the business.
As long as they deliver food to Youranju seriously, they will never starve to death again.
"Let's use the money to buy cotton-padded clothes. Buy a lot of cotton-padded clothes." Jiang Sheng's ambition gradually became bigger. "This trip made a net profit of fifty cents. If we buy another batch of cotton-padded clothes, we can still make a lot of money."
But when she arrived at the clothing store and she rushed in excitedly and said she wanted to approve fifty pieces of gray cotton-padded clothes, the store owner told them.
Gone.
Nothing is left.
