Chapter 99: Double the bid
Loaches can be sold for money, and the four of them are so happy that they hardly sleep all night. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are many loaches in the field, no capital, the cost is firewood, rice bran, seasoning and artificial, there is Chai He Mountain, and it is not expensive to bake, rice bran can buy a few catties for a penny, and the seasoning of pepper and salt accounts for the majority, because Dongping Village does not produce peppercorns, and the pharmacy will cost a few pennies a pound to buy it.
Counting these costs, ten cents a catty, they can make at least six cents.
Six cents, these families in the village, just rely on farming, they don't have so much.
Early the next morning, after a few bites of breakfast, the four of them got busy.
Yudong didn't go to the ground anymore, and went to catch loaches with Yuliang with the back basket, Yuxiu and Yushu baked at home, but after a day's work, they made four catties of dried loaches.
It's not that it's too late to bake, but Yudong and Yuliang caught this loach in one day.
To catch loaches, first of all, to catch them in your own field, and then to catch them in unowned places such as roadside ditches, and if you catch them in other people's fields, you will be talked to.
Yuxiu knows that her loach is delicious, first of all, after baking it in the pot, it is then baked with rice bran on a small tandoor, and the fire in the small tandoor is lit with mugwort leaf rods, so that the loach is roasted out, the color is good-looking, and it has a rice fragrance and a faint fragrance of mugwort leaves.
And the pepper and salt she made, not to mention Yunchang Town, is estimated to be the first in the entire Jianchang County.
Like the people here in Dongping Village, they will put onions, ginger and cinnamon in cooking vegetables, and occasionally throw a chili pepper, but Sichuan pepper will not be put in.
The peppercorns sold in the pharmacy are all used to make spices or medicine.
In order to make her brother and Shu'er Xiaosi accustomed to eating, the ratio of pepper and salt in the pepper and salt did not follow the habits of the Shu people, but used one pepper with five parts of salt.
After baking the loaches that day, the four of them had a good dinner, and the sky was still bright, and they happily sat in the yard to rest, but the money shopkeeper came to the door again.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper saw Yan Qingjiang, but he didn't show any surprise, obviously he had inquired about it.
Yudong stood up and greeted him, and invited the money shopkeeper to sit again.
As soon as the money shopkeeper's butt touched the chair, he went straight to the point and said to Yudong affectionately, "Yan Dalang, are there any new loaches you made today?" And that herbal tea, is there any more? ”
The first time Yudong was called Yan Dalang, Yushu and Yuliang grinned at him when they heard it.
It turned out that the two catties of dried loaches brought back yesterday were eaten by several guests and said that they were delicious, and this morning, several groups of people had come to order this dish.
The bag of herbal tea he sent didn't take out yesterday. Coincidentally, in the morning, the head of Dufeng Academy came to the restaurant to eat and wanted to order a pot of tea.
He told the famous tea in the restaurant, people think that the hot tea in summer is too hot, and the sour plum soup is too astringent.
The money shopkeeper couldn't be picked, and when he thought about it, the herbal tea he drank at Yuxiu's house yesterday was quite appetizing, so he made a pot and served it on the table.
As soon as I drank it, I even called it delicious and appetizing to cool off.
He heard that the shopkeeper of the restaurant on North Street also heard the shopkeeper Zhou mention that the loach had dried up and was inquiring about the place.
He was afraid that someone would pry the corner of the wall halfway, and as soon as the restaurant closed, he didn't care that it was too early, so he brought a contract and went to Yudong's house.
"Money shopkeeper, I made four catties today, and we still think that you will come tomorrow."
"Yan Niangzi, isn't it cool when it's dark. Your dried loach sells really well, and the herbal tea you give you also likes it. ”
As soon as Yuxiu opened her mouth, the shopkeeper didn't dare to treat her as a child, and called Yan Niangzi directly, not even "Little Lady", "That herbal tea, if it can be sold, how about I buy it at the price of medium Maofeng?" ”
After he finished speaking, he remembered that this was a child, how could he know what Mao Feng's was, and he wanted to explain how much the medium Mao Feng's tea was sold for.
Yuxiu had already said, "Shopkeeper Qian, although our herbal tea is not as expensive as the high-grade Longjing gold, but the tea is made in several processes. Honestly, it's more labor-intensive than making dried loaches. That tea, if you let me take a few catties, I really can't take it out. ”
The money shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and compared it with the first-class Longjing, which was because he gave it at a medium price, and the price was too low.
However, the tea is indeed different, he has never drunk it, he couldn't help but say, "Yan Niangzi, your tea is good, but it is only suitable to drink in summer." ”
It can only be sold for one season, if the purchase price is too high, what should I do if I smash it?
"Money shopkeeper, in fact, this tea has a name, called Liangyi Tea. Taken from the meaning of both cold and heat, this tea is cool in summer and drunk to cool off the heat and appetizing, and drinking hot tea in winter can warm the stomach and invigorate blood. ”
Yuxiu talked eloquently and talked about the medicinal properties of tea, and several people were stunned when they heard it.
In the end, the shopkeeper only felt ashamed, the price he just offered really devalued the value of this tea.
He still has to rush back to the town, and he won't beat around the bush, "Yan Dalang, big lady, I came this time to make a long-term appointment with the two of you to buy dried loaches and herbal tea made by you." In terms of price, it is negotiable. You see, this is the price of dried loaches. ”
He handed over a piece of paper first, Yudong reached out to take it, Yan Qingjiang stretched out his head and saw that he didn't understand a word, and then nestled back in the chair.
Yushu and Yuliang knew a few words, but they still couldn't understand the whole text, so they saw three words in Twenty Texts.
Yudong and Yuxiu read it carefully, and the contract stated that the dried loaches made by Yudong this year had to be sold to Wuwei Restaurant in addition to their own use, and Wuwei Restaurant would buy them at a price of 20 wen a catty, and receive as much as they wanted.
This price is twice as high as yesterday, which is indeed a high price.
Loaches can be caught at least until the end of August, and if they sell four catties a day, they sell them for 600 yuan. If there are more loaches, there can be more money.
Twenty dollars is more than enough to buy an old hen.
Yudong looked at Yuxiu and nodded slightly to herself, knowing that the eldest sister was willing, "Money shopkeeper, we agree to this contract." ”
Yuxiu followed, "Money shopkeeper, in addition to eating by ourselves, we will also give some gifts from relatives, which must be counted in our own use." ”
"Of course, of course." The money shopkeeper had a Maitreya face, smiling so much that he couldn't see his teeth, "Yan Dalang, since it's decided, let's sign it here." ”
"I'll go get the pen." Yuliang happily ran into the house, took out the baby's pen and ink inkstone, ground the ink thickly, dipped the brush in the ink, and handed it to Yudong.
The money shopkeeper looked at Yuliang's gesture of grinding ink, and was impressed, but he didn't expect these four children to be literate.
The children of the Zhuang family, not to mention the daughter, even if they are sons, not everyone can read and write. It's rare to be able to recognize your own name, but most people don't know a single word.
Because most people think that learning words has to be tied up, and it takes a lot of work, anyway, they can't get into the show. If you have the time to learn to read and go to school, you might as well help your family do more work.
