Li Qiusui ran home shouting.
As the traveling head of the family, Li Sanzhu has also visited the county several times. He has heard of Fuyun Tower where visitors come like clouds.
He didn't go anywhere else in the city, but went straight to Fuyun Building. The carriage parked on the side of the door in the back alley of the restaurant. He straightened his clothes before raising his hand to knock on the door. The door was opened from the inside.
When the man saw someone outside, there was no surprise on his face, "Are you bringing food?"
This is the backyard of the restaurant, and the meat and vegetables purchased pass through this door. He himself is the guy who helps with the inventory and transportation.
Li Sanzhu rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, please help me introduce the purchasing manager."
While talking, a handful of copper coins were thrust into someone's hand.
The man weighed it up and found that there were twenty or thirty pieces! It was worth his day's wages, and he put it into his pocket skillfully.
He looked at the person up and down. He was wearing linen and short brown clothes, and was dressed like a working man in the countryside. "You are not a regular customer of our store who delivers ingredients. Why do you want us to take care of you?"
His eyes fell on the carriage on the right, and he said in a gentler tone: "Our manager is not here today, so the shopkeeper will have a rest. Can you tell me first what kind of ingredients are in the basket?"
If some common vegetables and fruits from farmers are not worth a few dollars, he can take the initiative to accept them. However, being able to use a carriage and covering it up so carefully should be a rare thing. This cannot be decided casually.
"It's a kind of mushroom that I grew at home. Please tell the shopkeeper, please."
The man opened the wet straw curtain on the frame and took a look at the neatly arranged mushrooms. "Does your family grow this? Have people eaten it? Is it poisonous?"
His home is just around the county town, not far from Lijia Village. They have heard about the poisonous wild fungi in the mountains since they were children.
"My family has eaten it a long time ago. Not only is it not poisonous, but it tastes good!" Li Sanzhu saw that the person was interested and his face flushed with excitement.
"Wait here."
The man finished his sentence, turned around, crossed the threshold, and closed the door again.
Li Sanzhu squatted at the door, reading his daughter's explanation over and over in his heart.
That man was so easy to talk to just now, it was thanks to that handful of copper. Li Sanzhu, a farmer who was used to farm work, could not have thought of this in advance. Li Qiusui reminded him that it is easier to do things if you have money, and this is how he came up with the idea of giving money.
The foot door was opened again, and Li Sanzhu stood up quickly.
An old man in his fifties or sixties walked out of the door. The young man walking behind him pointed at Li Sanzhu and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, this is the man who said he sold mushrooms to us."
The younger brother licked his smile and said flatteringly: "Manager Qian won't be here right now, so if we can collect this thing, we need your help."
Shopkeeper Wu nodded, walked straight towards the carriage, and lifted off the wet linen cloth.
"Did your family grow this?"
Li Sanzhu, "Yes."
"How many days can I pick it?"
"Five to seven days."
Li Sanzhu replied, not as cautiously as he treated his younger brother. In the words of his daughter, if you can't make a deal if you go up the pole, if this family can't do it, there will be another family next.
Shopkeeper Wu's eyes were clear. Their restaurant's signature Baiweizhen contained mushrooms. They sent people to the countryside to collect them. The quantity was really limited, and the types were all common types.
"Have you eaten at home?"
Li Sanzhu nodded.
"What price do you want to sell it for?"
"The shopkeeper will let you make the dishes first. After tasting them in person, we will discuss them in detail." As Li Sanzhu spoke, he took out a recipe from his arms and handed it over.
…
…
Li Sanzhu was sent out of Fuyun Building by shopkeeper Wu himself, "Sanzhu, what's going on, we've settled on this! The mushrooms will be provided to our family in Fuyun Building alone. In winter, if you can really grow mushrooms as promised, I will give you the money." Double that."
Li Sanzhu was sent far away, and he still couldn't recover.
He touched the twenty-six cents of silver in his arms, one hundred and forty-five kilograms of mushrooms, eighteen cents per catty, the price was as high as that of pork.
Looking back at Fuyun Tower, I can really, as my daughter said, pick a crop every three to five days and harvest it every month. How much money is that?
Li Sanzhu couldn't figure it out clearly even though he was counting his fingers. After digging in the soil for most of his life, he had money in his pocket for the first time. His heart was pounding so hard now that he untied the carriage and rushed towards Lijiacun in a daze.
Li Qiu Sui directed Liu and Xia He to make lunch in the kitchen, and Li Sanzhu rushed in. Seeing the two girls there, he managed to regain some composure on his face.
"All sold out!" Ms. Liu asked.
A couple who have been married for more than ten years still don't know the head of the family. This excitement must mean that something good has happened to them.
While his daughter was still in front of him, Li Sanzhu barely maintained his fatherly demeanor. He nodded and did not hide anything, "I have sold them all to Fuyunlou! I will pick them all and send them over later, and compare them with today's prices. If the winter is still long, the price will be higher." It might even double.”
While talking, Li Sanzhu handed two or six coins to Liu's hand.
Li Sanzhu has never seen Yinzi several times, let alone Mrs. Liu?
The package of gold and silver that Li Qiusui gave him last time was not only given to Li Changshan brothers but also hidden under the box. Although Ms. Liu couldn't guess that the stuff in the package was Mr. Zheng's private money, she had no intention of using it again. The gold, peanut and silver dumplings, at first glance, are not ordinary ones for people to spend time with.
Furthermore, she still had the banknote given by Li Qiusui in her hand.
These things were forced upon me by my daughter. To be honest, Mrs. Liu never had the mood to observe them carefully. It was different when Li Sanzhu handed over the money. This was a way for the little girl to find a way to make money for her family, and she accepted it with peace of mind.
My daughter said that winter can last longer, so of course it can!
Mrs. Liu didn't worry about this now. She counted the money in her hand and urged: "Go to Li Zheng's house quickly and buy all the land around our house. Don't demolish the old house first, build that fire wall first." , so that it is not cold in winter and the humidity is maintained, mushrooms can still grow.”
The last sentence was Li Qiusui's original words, and Liu copied them to Li Sanzhu.
"Xia He watches the fire! I'll go to the house and take out the banknotes and give them to your father."
The bank note was naturally the three hundred taels given by Li Qiusui.
At this time, Mrs. Liu also figured out that when the family has money in the future, they will double the supplement and blindly give in. The family's life will be miserable, which will only make her daughter feel more uncomfortable.
Li Qiusui looked at her mother's back and smiled helplessly. She found the right way to grow mushrooms this time, and she could understand the mentality of her parents. They were afraid of spending less money, and they kept thinking about cutting expenses, but they didn't know that increasing revenue was the right way.
In one afternoon, Li Sanzhu spent fifty taels of silver to buy more than ten acres of land around his house. The reason why it was so cheap was that except for his own land, the rest was considered semi-barren land, including the fish pond at the back.
