"My family and Liu Shan's family are the only ones in the village who grow it. His family still has more than 700 kilograms of it, which they just dug out."
The total weight is 1,500 kilograms, and it cost 15 taels to purchase. It seems that I need to make some money quickly to develop other new varieties!
"Okay, Uncle Liu, please help inform the Liu Shan family and they will bring the potatoes directly to Zhuangzi for weighing later."
After Liu Shitou responded, he took his son Liu Xiaolin towards home with a smile on his face. My wife, I was so excited when I found out that my local potatoes were sold to the lady of the village owner for 10 cents a pound, and even cried. Although he was also very excited, he still ordered his family members to pack the potatoes in an orderly manner and then move them to the Zhuangzi for weighing.
Liu Shitou said as he walked towards the door: "Madam, I'm going to tell the Liu Shan family the good news and ask them to quickly pack the potatoes for weighing."
"Liu Shan, are you at home?"
"Yes, what's going on, Stone!"
Liu Shan happened to be doing carpentry work in the front yard at this time.
"Good news, hurry up and pack the potatoes and move them to the farm to weigh them. The owner's lady harvests the potatoes for 10 cents per catty. Your family and mine have collected them all."
"Really? I'm going to install it right away. Dad, mother, Chunhua, hurry up and install the potato for weighing." Liu Shan excitedly ordered his family to work.
After a while, the Liu Shitou and Liu Shan families arrived at Zhuangzi carrying potatoes. Uncle Chen was already waiting to be weighed.
Liu Shan's family settled 7 taels of 300 coins, and Liu Shitou's family settled more, 8 taels of 200 coins.
After Su Lele saw the potatoes, she almost forgot that she came here to harvest red fruits.
"Uncle Liu Shan, Uncle Shitou, my family wants to harvest red fruits, which cost two cents per catty. Today we need 500 catties. Are you free to pick them?"
"When you have time, you have helped our two families a lot. These red fruits are worthless and can be seen all over the mountain. You don't need any money. My family will pick them for you."
"My family is the same."
Liu Xiaolin responded obediently: "Miss, I can also help you pick them. My father and I picked the red fruits last time."
Su Lele touched the top of Liu Xiaolin's head: "You're so good, you're helping with the work at such a young age."
Then he said to them: "Free is not enough. I will charge you in the future, just as I said, two cents per catty."
It is not easy for rural farmers. She cannot let them pick red fruits for free just because she bought their potato. Su Lele has never been such a person.
The two families had no choice but to agree. After a while, the two families went to the back mountain to pick those big and red fruits.
an hour later
The total amount of red fruits picked by the two families was 600 kilograms, but they strongly requested that the fruit be counted as 500 kilograms. Su Lele had no choice but to accept their kindness.
Su Lele returned to the house just in time for lunch.
There are only two people in the dining room, the elder sister-in-law and the mother. The younger sister is in school and will not come back for lunch.
"Daughter, are you going to make fruit peel after lunch? I have nothing to do and will do it with you later."
The sister-in-law also wanted to help: "I will come to help after I wake up in the afternoon."
"Sister-in-law just needs to watch from the side. Mom, if you have nothing to do, you can come and help me. I plan to make 200 kilograms of fruit peel this afternoon."
Su Lele planned to teach Nanny Guan and the others how to do it today so that they wouldn't have to do it themselves tomorrow.
The dining room was busy all afternoon.
"Yes, the hawthorn puree needs to be ground more finely."
"Be sure to stir-fry slowly over low heat..."
After the servants fully mastered the skills, 200 kilograms of fruit peel were ready. The yard is covered with large pieces of oil paper. On the oil paper, pieces of red fruit peel are hanging there to dry. They will be dried in the sun tomorrow before being sliced.
Su Lele originally planned to make a potato feast tonight, but she was a little tired after making the fruit peel, so she had to make it again tomorrow, when her third brother also came back.
In the evening, the Su family returned home one after another.
Grandfather Su Dong said with a smile: "My dear grandson, you don't know how much my old friends like to eat this fruit peel. I gave them each a pack, and in just one day, they ate half of the pack, especially in the afternoon." While listening to storytelling, I would eat a piece from time to time. When we went back to our homes after the show, he would pull me hard and ask me if I still had any more. If I didn't leave, I would definitely come to my door tomorrow."
Although they were all good friends, he couldn't give them free snacks every time. After all, their family's wealth was much richer than his.
"Second sister, I took a pack of fruit peels to a good friend who works with me. His wife is also pregnant and has a son at home."
Su Tongtong showed off proudly: "Second sister, Xiaopang and the others even ate the fruit peels I gave them and said they were very delicious. They also said they wanted me to be their boss!"
Not bad, it seems that everyone is quite knowledgeable! Snacks have always been popular among the elderly, children and pregnant women.
The next day, Su Lele woke up at about the same time. She had a fulfilling day yesterday, but she stayed in bed this morning. Mother and others doted on her and didn't let Qiu Yu wake her up. Fortunately, the Su family didn't like the idea of greeting big families in the morning.
After dressing up and having breakfast in the Villa, Su Lele moved to the front hall and happened to see Uncle Chen leading a tall and thin man in. The man was wearing gray cotton clothes.
"Second Miss, this is the errand boy from the Prime Minister's Mansion. I'm here to ask if there are any fruit peels for sale."
The old prime minister originally ordered his servants to go out to buy it, but when his servants asked all the shops in the capital, no one knew the fruit peel, so he had to ask the servant to come to the Su Mansion to ask.
"Our old prime minister said that your fruit peel is very popular with Master Sun, and the price is easy to negotiate." The boy said respectfully.
Before Su Lele could speak, she heard her grandfather say at the door: "This old prime minister wants to eat it himself, and he uses his great-grandson as an excuse. Only our family has the fruit peel. It costs 100 yuan a bag and weighs half a catty. How much do you want." "
"Take 20 packs!" The old prime minister originally ordered to buy 10 packs first, but the only one in the capital that sells them is Su Mansion, so the price is not very expensive. A box of the famous jujube paste cakes in the capital costs one tael of silver. Even the old prime minister didn't like it. 20 packs only cost 2 taels of silver.
Su Lele asked her maid Qiu Yu to count the remaining inventory from the day before. There were still more than 20 packages, which was just enough to earn 2 taels.
"Grandpa, you are awesome! I will cook something delicious to reward you tonight."
"Then I'll have a good meal tonight, and I'll make some money later, just wait!" Grandfather knew all about his old friends.
Grandfather was right. At noon, the old lady's family, the old lady's family, and the old town's Duke's Mansion all came to the door one after another.
Uncle Chen registered the quantity purchased by each prefecture, waited for the fruit peels to dry, sliced and packaged them in the afternoon, and then delivered them to each prefecture. As expected, the consumption level of the wealthy family was high, and 160 packages were sold at once.
"Qiu Yu, are Aunt Guan and the others making fruit peel this morning?"
"Aunt Guan and the others have been doing this since Chen Shi. They have already made 100 kilograms, and today they can make more than 200 kilograms."
It seems that Grandma Guan and the others have already started making potato chips. They can start making potato chips tomorrow. Su Lele plans to make two flavors, original and spicy, to test the water, and it is estimated that she can make another profit.
Su Lele planned to visit the capital market in the afternoon and was looking forward to it.
