Seeing the villagers cheering, Cui Hongyu felt a stone fall in his heart.
Chen Xiaobei stood by the river, quietly watching bubbles pop up on the water for a while, and then calmed down.
He knew that after a series of blisters, Chen Ermao said goodbye to this world completely. Everything about Chen Ermao was completely over.
Chen Xiaobei didn't have much compassion in his heart. Based on what Chen Ermao had done, he deserved it.
He just felt a little emotional. If he hadn't come to this world by chance, what about Chen Xiaobei from Hetou Village? Yes, he has already left this world, so where is Chen Qiaoer?
I am afraid that Chen Qiaoer has been sold to the Zhao family by Chen Ermaohou and others, so Chen Qiaoer may have been buried long ago.
And it was precisely because of his arrival that everything became different. For Chen Qiaoer, this was not a blessing.
However, how many people like Chen Qiaoer are there in this world?
Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei let out a long breath again. He was not a saint and could not control so much. It was a miracle that he could manage this Hetou Village well.
At this moment, Chen Dayong stepped forward and touched him gently, "Brother Xiaobei, can we go back?"
Chen Xiaobei came back to his senses and saw that the river had returned to calm.
He nodded slightly, "Let's go, everyone go back, do whatever you need to do."
Chen Dayong turned his head and waved to the people behind him, and the villagers dispersed in twos and threes.
At this time Chen Xiaowen stepped forward.
"Brother Xiaobei, I have to tell you something. In the past few days, the cabbage delivery in the city has been almost complete. Lao Wu only sells about a hundred cabbage plants every day. He said he can't give away too much. What should we do? ?”
Chen Xiaobei nodded slightly after hearing this, which is reasonable.
After all, in this era, there are only so many people who can buy and eat green vegetables. Even if it costs one or two cents per plant, it is not a small amount of money for ordinary people. The supply of cabbage is open, but the number of consumers is limited.
Chen Xiaobei frowned, "Have you ever gone to Miss Xiaoyue's place in Xiaojia Town?"
Chen Xiaowen nodded, "I asked, and he said fifty pills a day is enough!"
Chen Xiaobei secretly calculated that he could sell 150 trees a day, 1,500 trees in ten days, and 15,000 trees in 100 days. However, he could grow tens of thousands of trees on his dozens or hundreds of acres of land.
What to do?
Just when he was at a loss what to do, he heard a commotion in front of him. He looked up and saw a group of soldiers noisily getting military supplies from a stone house on four acres of land.
Chen Xiaobei smiled when he saw this, yes, just tens of thousands of cabbages. If it could be sold to the imperial court as military supplies and sent to the border, wouldn't it be a double benefit?
But then I thought about it, Tian Wenhao didn’t know him, so Liu Rumei had to deal with it.
Chen Xiaobei took three steps and two steps to catch up with Liu Rumei and said what he meant. Liu Rumei couldn't help laughing.
"It's true that you can think of this method, but I don't dare to guarantee whether it will work or not. I have to ask Tian Wenhao."
At this time, Tian Wenhao was sitting in a room, drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing Liu Rumei coming, Tian Wenhao and I quickly stood up to greet her.
"Oh, Miss Liu, some are welcome from a distance, some are welcome from afar."
Liu Rumei bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Tian, you're welcome. Rumei is here. I have something to discuss with you."
Tian Wenhao laughed and said, "You're welcome, Miss. This is nothing to discuss. If you have any questions, just ask me and I will do my best."
Liu Rumei shook her head gently, "Mr. Tian, this matter is not my personal matter, but a matter involving military supplies."
"My husband, Chen Xiaobei, planted tens of thousands of cabbages in the village, which were originally intended to be sold everywhere, but I felt that if the border soldiers could eat cabbages in the winter, it would be much better than just eating a few pieces of dried meat. "
After hearing these words, Tian Wenhao's eyes lit up, "Okay, I really didn't expect that there would be so much cabbage in Hetou Village. I was originally thinking about where to get some cabbage for the soldiers."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei was secretly happy. Isn't this coincident?
"Oh, since Mr. Tian is interested, then this matter. Look..."
Tian Wenhao smiled and nodded, "Ms. Liu, I will accept the price you set."
Liu Rumei waved her hands quickly when she heard this, "No, no, Master Tian can't say that. We just follow the market and I can't set the price. In this case, I'll bring Chen Xiaobei over and you two can discuss it!"
Tian Wenhao laughed again, "Ms. Liu, there's nothing to discuss. Just tell me how much money you want."
Seeing Liu Rumei's firm attitude that Chen Xiaobei must come over, Tian Wenhao was helpless and had to sigh.
"Well, I don't want Brother Xiaobei to come again, I'll just let you go."
At this time, Chen Xiaobei had returned to his home, waiting for Liu Rumei's reply. Seeing Liu Rumei directly bringing Tian Wenhao, Chen Xiaobei was secretly happy, there was definitely something going on here.
Sure enough, after Liu Rumei briefly introduced the situation to the two of them, she smiled and said to Tian Wenhao, "Master Tian, you two will discuss the details."
Chen Xiaobei quickly let Tian Wenhao into the room and had tea served.
Tian Wenhao still said what he said to Liu Rumei, "Brother Xiaobei, just tell me a price. I will accept all the cabbages as ordered."
Chen Xiaobei smiled and clasped his fists, "Mr. Tian, please be happy. In business, we have to follow the market."
"My cabbage is sold in Qingniu County for two cents a head. I don't know what Mr. Tian thinks of this price."
Chen Xiaobei has already mentioned the price as high. After all, according to Lao Wu, during the harvest season, it only costs a penny per tree.
But obviously, Tian Wenhao was a little surprised by this price.
Chen Xiaobei's price was lower than he expected. He originally thought that Liu Rumei had paved the way for Chen Xiaobei to ask for a high price or make a big deal.
In fact, counting two cents per head, even if Chen Xiaobei had tens of thousands of cabbages, it would not cost much money.
Thinking of this, Tian Wenhao felt a little sorry.
But raising the price will definitely make Chen Xiaobei feel that he is taking care of him, which will be very embarrassing. With a roll of his eyes, Tian Wenhao had an idea.
"Brother Xiaobei, as for the cabbage, I have no problem buying it, but there is one thing. As for you, I have to have someone send it to Jizhou. But don't worry, as for the reward, I won't have a penny."
"We'll calculate it as two hundred trees per car and transport it to Jizhou. I'll give you ten taels of silver per car as a reward. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei also understood in his heart that the shipping fee was ten taels. This tnd was several times more expensive than cabbage. A carriage carried two hundred cabbages, which was less than one tael of silver.
