The mules pulling the cart were trotting diligently, and rice was piled in the fields on both sides of the road.
Some farmers have already started threshing rice and cannot bring straw when paying the land rent.
Some of them beat them with flails in the grain-drying field, making crackling sounds, and some used rice beds and several wooden supports. People grabbed the back of the rice and beat it upwards, causing the rice grains to fall.
Zhu Wentian looked at it and sighed. He was too tired. There was a river in his village. Is it too late to go back and make water?
It is really not possible to use bamboo and wood to make a pedal thresher, so that the relatives in the village can save energy and time.
"Hanhan, in the past years, you were the one who threshed the most rice grains. You are very strong."
The head of the village watched others threshing rice and praised him for being silly.
At this moment, he had no idea what kind of changes his village guardian would bring to the village, let alone how powerful his village guardian was.
As time passed, towards noon, more and more people and cars gradually appeared on the road, and in the distance, the city gate was visible.
"Cooking cakes, cooking cakes, big cooking cakes that cost a penny each."
"Salted fish rice, a bowl of salted fish rice costs a penny!"
"Add meat rice noodles, two cents for a big bowl~~~!"
The stallholders appeared, waiting and hawking on the roadside with their burdens.
The little girl looked at it curiously and swallowed.
Zhu Wentian didn't feel much. He didn't like eating at all, especially if he had to spend money to buy it.
"Eat, eat first, then enter the city." The mayor greeted and took out a cloth bag.
The little girl took it, along with pieces of fish fried in perilla seed oil.
Zhu Wentian shook his head and refused: "Sell it, die, don't want it, huh huh!"
"Yes, let's sell the crabs first." The manager refused to eat, fearing that things would be delayed.
The car moved forward and reached the city gate. The sergeant guarding the gate came to check. When he saw many crabs, he asked: "Fishermen?"
"Farmer, farmer, hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian kept waving his hands, not fishermen, fishermen need to pay taxes, thirty taxes per one!
"Let's pay the land tax," the eldest son said.
The head of the village took out the certification document, namely Lu Yin. He was the head of the village and could issue the certificate for himself.
The sergeant checked it and put down his hand, ready to go in.
Passing by the city gate, there were streets with many bungalows. The little girl still looked at them carefully. It was her first time traveling far away.
Zhu Wentian was wondering whether he could wholesale some rice paper and sell it elsewhere. Some people in Xuancheng didn't know, so they just talked about rice paper.
The paper produced in this place is famous all over the world.
He used to buy a lot when he was practicing calligraphy and painting. Authentic handmade ones were valuable, but machine-made ones were cheaper.
The director knew the way and went straight to the market to look for other crab sellers and check the prices.
Not based on weight, the price will be different depending on the size, male or female.
The village chief was happy. Others were selling crabs and putting them in baskets. The crabs fought and some of their legs were broken off. The crabs in the village were tied up in a silly way.
I asked a few crab sellers and the prices were about the same, divided into four prices.
A large female crab costs six cents, a medium one costs four cents, and a small one costs two cents. A large male crab costs four cents, a medium one costs two cents, and a small one costs one cent.
The head of the store was about to sort the crabs, but Zhu Wentian shook his head to stop them: "Separate, separate, it's for you."
He randomly selected a hundred crabs for the headman, and he would use a cart to drive the rest to a location about a hundred meters away to sell them.
The village chief hesitated for a moment and chose to trust the village guard. He divided the hundred crabs into pieces and squatted there to sell them.
The remaining three people arrived nearby. Zhu Wentian stood at the back of the car, looking at everyone smiling stupidly.
"How do you sell crabs?" Someone in gorgeous clothes came over and asked.
The little girl introduced it quickly, her eyes full of anticipation, buy it quickly! After shopping, we had money to buy meat and eat it back.
The other party thought about it and nodded: "There are six big ones for females and six big ones for males."
"Hey! Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian rushed to cut the binding rope to prove that he was alive.
He picked out seven large females and five large males, showed them to others, and quickly tied them up with straw ropes.
"Brother Hanhan, you made a mistake, you gave me the wrong male and female." the little girl reminded.
"No, that's right, uh-huh!" Zhu Wentian continued to hand it to the other party.
"Wrong, look, there are seven..." The little girl was worried.
"No, I'm not stupid. Hahahaha!" Zhu Wentian looked unhappy.
The little girl pursed her lips, not daring to offend Brother Hanhan, and looked at the crab buyer.
The other party doesn’t care, they don’t take advantage of it…
He carried it and walked away quickly. He looked at the people who were about to buy and looked at Zhu Wentian carefully. Are you a fool?
"I'll bring four big females and six big males." Someone shouted.
"Oh! Let me show you! Haha!" Zhu Wentian gave the other party five more females and five males.
"Brother Hanhan!" The little girl was about to burst into tears.
"I'll buy three medium-sized females and three medium-sized males."
Others were anxious, what if they didn't act quickly and someone got rid of the fool?
There were many people buying and even more people watching. Everyone said there was a fool here who couldn't tell the difference between male and female. He even sometimes mistook the sizes and sold the bigger ones as smaller ones.
So in less than an hour, all 1,905 crabs were sold by Zhu Wentian.
There were not many big ones, and many people liked to eat big ones. When the big ones were sold out, and the medium ones were larger, Zhu Wentian continued to sell them as the big ones, but he would install the wrong male and female and the wrong size.
The little girl was already crying, crying and feeling that something seemed wrong.
How did the medium one become a large one? Aren’t the big ones sold out? Everyone is rushing to give money to buy it?
"Hehe, hehehe!" Zhu Wentian really laughed from the bottom of his heart this time. All of them were sold without any compensation, eh! I should have made about five percent more.
It’s noon. If you don’t sell the crabs quickly, do you want to keep them for sale tomorrow? It won't be worth it until it dies of heat or suffocation.
The eldest son of the eldest son was also dumbfounded. He was dumbfounded, not really dumb. He realized what he was doing. He was a fool.
Others regard him as a fool. The size of this crab is not fixed. He feels stupid and loses money. In fact, he gets more money?
He went to see his father twice and sold twenty of them. All the ones here were sold out.
He went over to his father and told him to take the leftovers over there and give them to Hanhan. You can sell them. This is awesome!
Zhu Wentian got it and had it bought in almost the blink of an eye. The mission was completed.
The lieutenant held 7,920 Wen and grinned: "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey..."
Zhu Wentian and three others: "..."
"Pigs, buy them, haha!" Zhu Wentian reminded the village chief that it was time to buy meat. Pigs with hair should go back to the village to kill them.
Hairy pigs are cheaper than white-striped pigs. Four people take a look and choose one, and buy three pigs weighing about 200 kilogram each for six cents per kilogram.
Today's pigs cannot produce more than 70% of the meat, and the internal organs are fat, accounting for a large proportion.
At the same time, bones are relatively strong due to their long growth cycle and occupy the same weight.
If you buy live sheep, the price is cheaper, and the meat yield is not as good as that of pigs.
Buy a ram, choose one with big eggs, and buy ten ewes for the price of two pigs.
Zhu Wentian smiled stupidly and took everyone to buy things elsewhere, buy seasonings, aniseed, cinnamon, etc., and buy sugar, brown sugar.
I'll buy some snacks for the little girl, and I'll have 1,550 yuan left for the return journey.
