Chapter 604
Before and after the white dew, the walnut goes down the tree.
At the beginning of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, many large families sent their families to pick green-skinned walnuts in the wild.
The steward of Xiao'er's family also sent many people into the mountains to pick walnuts.
The walnut tree in Xiao'er's village has long been ready to bear fruit, but Xiao'er has been waiting.
Wait for the people who go up to the mountains to pick wild fruits to come back and then set up stalls to sell them.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, many teams that went to pick green-skinned walnuts came back one after another.
There is a way that there is no comparison and no harm, this year is the first year to bet on green walnuts, if she sets the price of walnuts too high, a small wild fruit is sold so expensive, everyone will probably feel that it is not worth it, and they are unwilling to buy, anyway, they have sent people to pick them in the mountains.
There are more people who go up the mountain to pick, are you still afraid that no one will sell it when the time comes?
When Xiao'er received the news that the team that went to the field to pick green-skinned walnuts came back one after another, Xiao'er hurriedly instructed the people of Zhuangzi to pick walnuts.
By the way, Du Yijin was also informed that she also picked the walnuts in the Zhuangzi, and some of the walnut trees in Du Yijin's Zhuangzi were adult walnut trees in the space that Xiao'er sold to her, and the trees were of excellent species, and they bore fruit in the first year of planting.
After the green-skinned walnuts in Zhuangzi were delivered to Fuzhong, Xiao'er personally took the maid to classify the green-skinned walnuts of different qualities.
Xiao'er said to Gu Rou'er: "Tonight, you can say to the bustard's mother that the county lord of Rui'an is going to send a pair of green-skinned walnuts to the six princes, let him give them to the emperor, and say that playing walnuts is good for the body. ”
"Is it okay to just say that?" Gu Rou'er was a little confused, so what was so special about sending green peel fruits, and what was the special significance of sending a pair to the emperor?
"That's it. Xiao'er didn't explain much.
In this way, it has been clear enough to those in the know that the emperor is getting a dry side, and it is good for walnuts to play.
Although Gu Rouer didn't understand what the meaning was, she was smart enough not to delve into it further.
On the second day, on Wenwan Street, Xiao'er and Du Yijin dressed as men, set up a stall respectively, and began to sell green walnuts with maids who were also women dressed as men.
In front of them, there are three baskets of walnuts, which are divided into three grades: excellent, special, and top.
Each type of walnut sells for 500 to 10 taels of silver.
The high-quality green-skinned walnuts in Xiao'er's space are all sold in supermarkets, and the price is against the sky, but they are not sold now, and they will start to be sold after the price of green-skinned walnuts is speculated.
After waiting for so long, I finally waited for the green walnut to go on the market, and today, there is an endless stream of literati and ink writers on the cultural play street.
Many of the stalls were crowded with people dressed as scholars.
Du Yijin looked at the crowd in front of other people's stalls, and there were many people in front of the two of them, she was a little anxious and said: "Rui'an, is the price of our green walnuts set too high, and the people who asked the price shook their heads and left." ”
Xiao'er shook her head: "Don't worry, this price is not high, I plan to increase the price a little more tomorrow, wait a little longer, someone will come and buy it later." ”
After waiting for a while, the two brothers Jing Rui and Jing Hao came over.
They walked up to Xiao'er's stall and asked, "How do you sell these three baskets of green-skinned walnuts?"
Xiao'er smiled and said: "This top-grade green-skinned walnut is five hundred taels of silver, this top-grade green-skinned walnut is five taels of silver, and this top-grade green-skinned walnut is ten taels of silver!"
"It's just such a wild fruit that sells so expensive, are you a golden fruit?" Jing Hao said loudly deliberately.
Xiao'er didn't mind, she still smiled and said: "This price is actually not expensive, Childe, please ask the boy in the stall next to him, how many pairs of green-skinned walnuts have they bought, but there is a satisfactory pair? I watched coldly, he has already bought more than a dozen pairs of green-skinned walnuts, each pair is 100 Wen, and it has already cost more than 1,000 Wen! Although my green-skinned walnuts are 500 Wen, I can guarantee that my high-quality green-skinned walnuts are definitely better than the best ones he opened!" In this way, it is more cost-effective than the fifty cents. ”
Jing Rui and Jing Hao heard this, and glanced at the people in the other stalls, and sure enough, there were already many pairs of peeled walnuts looking left and right there.
"Big brother, why don't we buy a pair and try it?" Jing Hao said as he looked at the walnuts in the basket with a heartfelt face.
Jing Rui nodded: "Then let's buy a pair and try it." ”
The two brothers picked and chose among a basket of high-quality products for a long time before they chose a pair that fit their eyes.
The two did not hand over the skin to the guy pretended by Zhao Yong next to them, but took out a knife themselves and began to peel it.
"Someone buys such an expensive wild fruit, is that person not a fool?" said a man dressed as a scholar.
"It's not a fool, it's just that there's so much silver that there's nowhere to spend it! Just look at the clothes of those two people, you can know that they are either rich or expensive!" Scholar B began.
"What a fool! He is the son of Shengping Hou, I heard that the eldest thirteen-year-old is the master of Xiucai!"
"And it's the head of the case!" scholar Ding echoed.
The others chimed in.
"Isn't it? How could such a smart man pay so much for that wild fruit? The scholar who spoke at first was clearly not convinced.
"I heard that the eldest son of Shengping Hou has been running around a lot in the past two years, taking care of the family's business, maybe he has really cultivated a vicious vision. Let's go over and see where such expensive walnuts are!" After speaking, Scholar Ding took the lead and walked over.
When the others heard this, they also hurriedly followed, they picked walnuts for a long time, and they opened several pairs and were not satisfied, and they were also a little disheartened.
Jing Rui and Jing Hao peeled the skin of a walnut by themselves.
Jing Rui and Jing Hao acted in unison and gently cut into the green skin with a knife, not daring to go too deep, and then broke it in one direction, so that the peel naturally opened under the cutting force of the knife body, and a crisp sound of "pop" sounded, and the green skin naturally cracked, and then he continued to peel the skin according to the above method, and peeled off the green skin in about half an hour, just because he was afraid of hurting the walnuts, and the green skin was not clean.
Xiao'er handed them an iron brush: "Use this iron brush to brush, brush along the lines, don't use too much force so as not to hurt the walnuts." ”
The two thanked each other, took the brush and continued to peel the skin.
After finishing it, Xiao'er handed the two of them a pig hair brush: "Use this brush to brush the rest." ”
The two of them took it and brushed it really hard, and the peel and dregs that were brushed off were washed off in the water in the wooden barrel next to them.
At this time, the general texture and outline of the walnut are revealed.
