Chapter 210: Secretly Admire
After listening to the village chief's words, Li Yuqing's face turned red unconsciously, thinking that what the village chief said was reasonable, but she was too anxious and wanted to do her best in everything, so she was afraid of making mistakes. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as he was about to say something, he saw the head of the village walking from a distance carrying a gong. Li Yuqing looked at the village chief's back steadily, and sadly found that there was no one, so he couldn't help lowering his eyes and sighing secretly.
Seeing Li Yuqing like this, Li Chun waited for the village chief to come over, and without waiting for Li Yuqing to speak, he preemptively asked, "Brother Cao, no one has come for so long, isn't there anyone in your village who wants to sell chickens?"
The village chief surnamed Cao heard Li Chun's question, wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Li Chun, "Who said no, I just turned around and found that there are many of them, and they are loading chickens in the back basket, it seems that there are still quite a few, and I am still afraid that you will not have so many by then!"
"Really" Li Yuqing's eyes lit up after hearing this, and the depressed mood just now was swept away, just like a person who was obviously dying, suddenly resurrected with full blood, and his whole body was full of energy.
"That's still fake, but seriously, this time, how many little chicks do you want to collect, just now I was patronizing and thinking about shouting, and I haven't had time to ask in detail, if I collect too little, I wasted this effort of shouting, how can I explain to the people in the village when the time comes" The village chief surnamed Cao looked at Li Yuqing and Li Chun and asked.
Li Chun subconsciously glanced at Li Yuqing, he really didn't know how many chicks he received! Li Yuqing didn't tell him this, just asked him to drive the ox cart over to help.
Li Yuqing saw Li Chun looking at him, understood what he meant, looked at the village chief surnamed Cao, and said, "Village Chief Cao, please rest assured, I will accept as many chicks as there are in your village, and I won't make you ugly."
After listening to Li Yuqing's words, the man was completely relieved. After waiting for a while, villagers with backpacks came over one after another.
After they saw Li Yuqing and them, they didn't talk to them in advance, but said hello to the head of their own village, and then asked Li Yuqing, "You are Li Yuqing who came to collect the chickens, I don't know how you collected the chickens."
Li Yuqing heard the villagers ask like this, and then she remembered that she hadn't told anyone from the beginning how much it cost to collect a chick. It doesn't matter if you have your own village, because everyone in the village knows that if Li Yuqing wants to collect chicks, it is impossible to give a low price, so she doesn't consider this problem at all.
But the people in other villages are different, they have no communication with Li Yuqing, and they don't know what Li Yuqing is like, so the first thing they said when they met was to ask, how much is the little chicken that Li Yuqing wants to collect, and then see if there is any need to sell it to Li Yuqing.
Seeing that the villagers who came to sell chickens were like this, the people who wanted to come to help only said in their respective villages that Li Yuqing was going to collect the chicks, and they didn't tell them the specific price because they didn't know. Thinking of this, Li Yuqing hurriedly said to the person who came to sell chickens. "Four cents a piece, what do you think?"
The person who came to sell chickens, hearing Li Yuqing say this, immediately showed a smile on his face, thinking that he was very satisfied with the price Li Yuqing said, and without waiting for Li Yuqing to say anything, he put the back basket on his back on the ground, and started to take the chickens out from the inside.
To tell the truth, the price given by Li Yuqing is indeed very high, and the average chick is sold in the town market, and it is only three pennies a piece. Because in ancient times, a penny could buy two eggs, an average of 7 chicks could hatch for every 10 eggs, and a chicken rarely laid an egg a day, basically one egg in two or three days, so in this way, the chick was sold for three cents at a normal price.
Li Yuqing saw that the villagers began to take the chickens outside, and hurriedly asked the village chief to bring the basket prepared in advance from the ox cart and put it on the ground, and asked the villagers to put the chickens brought over directly in the basket to count.
After counting the money, Li Yuqing gave the money to the villagers who sold the chickens, which was equivalent to handing over the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, and the villagers got the money from selling the chickens, and happily said goodbye to Li Yuqing and went home.
Because Li Yuqing was ready to collect the chicks, in the past few days, when she went to send tomatoes and peppers to Shopkeeper Yao, she informed him to prepare loose money for herself in advance, so that she could use it at this time.
The person who sold the chickens first and then went back on the way, met the same person who came to sell chickens, the person first asked him the price of selling chickens, the people who sold chickens in advance were a little white, and told them the price of chickens with a smile, and the people behind heard a little incompatible, the person in order to confirm that what he said was true, he took the money he had just earned to show them outside, and the people behind saw that he did get a lot of silver from selling chickens, so he completely believed it, and suddenly became excited one by one, and stopped nagging with the person who had just sold chickens, and quickly accelerated to the village chief's house。
Because they already knew the price of chicks on the way here, when they arrived at the village chief's house, they didn't ask Li Yuqing about the price of chicks, they just asked her to come over and watch, and began to count outside.
At first, Li Yuqing was a little puzzled when she saw them like this, but after thinking about it, she realized that the people who had already sold before went back, probably meeting each other on the road, so they knew the price of the chicks, so they didn't ask themselves anymore, and started selling directly.
After figuring this out, Li Yuqing didn't bother to care about them, she just had to collect chickens and give money. After all, it is not from my own village, so I am not familiar with it, so I was so busy that I didn't even have time to eat lunch, and I was busy until the afternoon before I finished collecting all the chickens to be harvested.
Li Yuqing raised her arm, which was already sore, and looked at the back basket piled up on the ox cart, which contained all the chicks she bought today, thinking of this, Li Yuqing felt that her waist was no longer sore, her legs were not painful, and her body was full of strength.
Li Yuqing didn't expect that there were so many chickens in one village, and they just brought a few empty baskets over, thinking that this side would be like Lijia Village, and it would be good to have one or two hundred, but the more he went on, the more Li Yuqing realized that he was wrong.
In the end, there was really no choice, so they bought several more baskets in their village, and then they barely put down the chicks that Li Yuqing had bought before, and then there were some to sell, and they looked at the ox cart that was already full of baskets, Li Yuqing could only grit her teeth.
Because the area under the back basket is not large, it is barely enough to fit dozens of chicks, if there are more, Li Yuqing is really afraid that the chicks will be squeezed to death, and it will really outweigh the losses when the time comes.
When he came, he only loaded a few empty baskets, but when he left, he returned with a full load, Li Yuqing was very grateful to the village chief Cao, and he was even more grateful, if he hadn't come forward, although Li Yuqing had already made a small advertisement in advance, but she believed that even if the people who came to sell chickens like that, it would not be as many as today.
Seeing her like this, Village Chief Cao waved his hand at her a little embarrassed and said, "Li girl, don't be like this, if you want to say thank you, I will be grateful to you! If you hadn't come to collect these little chickens, then if the people in the village want to sell them, they will have to carry them a long way to the town, and you will be a great help today."
Li Yuqing heard what Village Chief Cao said, and glanced at Li Chun standing beside him again, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "This ancient village chief is a good person, and he only thinks about the people in his village, and he is willing to endure hardships and hardships." I can't help but secretly admire them. (To be continued.) )
