Chapter 33: A Woman's Nature (2)
"Sister-in-law, do you know where in this town there is a place to sell dry goods?" Buying things is one reason, and Mu Zhen's main purpose is to explore the market.
"You know, if you go forward, that street is full of dry goods." In the past half a day of getting along, Hongmei knew that Mu Zhen was an assertive person, and she was measured in everything she did, even if Mu Zhen still wanted to buy something, she wouldn't stop her.
While walking, Mu Zhen looked at the shops on both sides of the street. I have to say that although this is ancient, some places are still quite advanced.
Let's just say that this Shanghe Town, through guò a morning of understanding, Mu Zhen knew that the original street, the government still has a unified management and planning.
The restaurants gathered on West Street, all kinds of food shops, and the places near the river on North Street generally live in high-ranking households, and ordinary people live inside. East Street mainly sells all kinds of poultry and livestock, as well as some furs and meat from wild animals. South Street is a place where all kinds of dried goods and seeds are sold.
Flags were hung on both sides of the street, and Hongmei took Mu Zhen into a larger shop.
As soon as Xiao Er saw someone coming to the door, he walked up with a smile on his face and asked, "Two little ladies, what do you want to buy?" ”
Hongmei just brought Mu Zhen here, so naturally she didn't know what to buy, so she turned her head to look at Mu Zhen.
"This little brother, you are busy first, I want to sell a lot of things, but the silver on my body is not enough, so I will turn around and take a look first, and pick the important ones to buy."
Mu Zhen said this, Xiao Er's is only a loser's girl. But if there is business to do, he will not stop it, and still make way for the two of them with a smile.
As the saying goes, shop around, for Mu Zhen, shopping is a very casual and ordinary thing. But for Hongmei, she felt uncomfortable.
What do you usually want to buy, you think about it in the house, and when you go to the town, you can go directly to a familiar shop to buy it, where have you been so shopping? So, she is as uncomfortable as a thief now.
This time I made a lot of money selling Tsubaki buds, and Mu Zhen had the idea of taking Hongmei with her. Although Mu Zhen doesn't plan to do any big business, even if she is only in Shanghe Town, she can't be as timid as Hongmei is now!
"Sister-in-law, you can help me see if there are any bamboo shoots and green beans sold here. If you want to watch it quietly, you can't ask Xiao Er? ”
I misunderstood Mu Zhen in the morning, and Hongmei still feels guilty. At this time, Mu Zhen got rid of her, and Hongmei naturally did her best. If you have something in your heart, you will forget about it.
This dry goods store has a relatively large area, and in addition to grain and seeds, it is involved. Like kelp, cauliflower, seaweed, these are more common.
Because Mu Zhen bought it while watching, Xiao Er didn't say anything.
After walking around, Mu Zhen bought a few taels of peppercorns and chili peppers. This thing is not weighed, although it is expensive, but a large bag does not cost a few dollars.
"Zhenniang, I just looked around, and I didn't find the green beans and bamboo shoots you said?" Hongmei and Mu Zhen walked back and said.
"No?" This news was a surprise for Mu Zhen. Because, letting Hongmei find these two things was originally an excuse.
"No, have you ever eaten dried green beans? As soon as the green beans are dried, they will be eaten dry, which one wants this to do? There are also the bamboo shoots, the bamboo shoots we have here are all spotted bamboo and mangosteen, which are a little bitter to eat, and when they are dried, they are like tree roots, and no one eats them. Seeing Mu Zhen's surprised expression, Hongmei said disapprovingly.
Hearing Hongmei's words, Mu Zhen couldn't help but be excited. The area of Shanghe Town, which belongs to the mountainous area, has the weather in March and April, and there are some slightly cool, bamboo shoots, remember that it is late spring and early summer, at least until after May.
Green beans have a strong ability to adapt to the climate, and they are generally planted in April and can be eaten in May. And you can plant another stubble a few days later, so you can stagger the time, and you can plant at least four or five stubble.
Moreover, the yield of green beans is high, and generally a basket of green beans knotted on a vine can be harvested. When the time comes, maybe there will be more Tsubaki sprouts than she sells now. No matter how much this thing is weighed, it is better than Tsubaki sprouts.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhen felt that her heart was full of energy, and hurriedly urged Hongmei to take her to the shop where she bought seeds.
If this way continues, as long as they are out of the control of the upper house, their family can build a small nest of their own and have a real home.
People are in good spirits on happy occasions, Hongmei looked at Mu Zhen's face full of spring breeze, and asked with a smile: "Zhenniang, but what good things happened?" Why are you happy? ”
"Sister-in-law, it's a good thing, I promise to have your share when the time comes." With the first experience, Mu Zhen knew that these two things would definitely make money, so she planned to call Hongmei together.
The two talked and laughed, and the seed shop arrived in a short time.
The seeds of this era are still relatively complete, basically Mu Zhen was common in the previous life, and there are almost all of them here.
This shop does not deal in seeds, but also buys all kinds of grain, and the scale is relatively large. The shopkeeper is an uncle in his forties and fifties, looking kind. didn't ask Muzhen if they bought it, and introduced these seeds to them with a smile.
"Uncle, I want to buy some vegetable seeds, I don't know what you have here?" It's almost daylight, so Mu Zhen didn't waste time and asked directly?
"The vegetable seeds suitable for these two days are pimple cabbage, baby greens, peas, hairy cabbage, green beans, and peppers. I don't know what the little lady wants? Hearing Mu Zhen ask, the old man patiently explained.
After thinking about it, Mu Zhen said: "The seeds of pimple vegetables cost five taels, the small greens and the cabbage cost two taels each, the peas cost five catties, the green beans cost five catties, and the chili peppers cost three catties." ”
Hearing Mu Zhen say this, the shopkeeper asked in surprise: "Why does the little lady sell so much?" This kind of seed is not food, and if you buy too much, it will be wasted. ”
Others were kind to her, Mu Zhen explained with a smile: "It's okay, uncle, you help me say that our family grows vegetables and sells them." ”
"There are two kinds of green bean seeds, one is full mother, that is, the beans inside are large, and the other is the beans with small skin and thick skin. There are also many types of spicy peppers, there are big peppers, this is not spicy, generally not red, can only be eaten when it is green, and there are small peppers and Chaotian peppers, generally eat small peppers in their own houses with more, Chaotian peppers are too spicy. ”
The shopkeeper looked at Mu Zhen, although she was dressed as a village woman, but there was no callus on her hands, and she couldn't help but think that this must have never grown crops, so she explained more carefully.
"I want five catties for the full mother, five catties for the thick skin, five taels for the big peppers, and one pound each for the small peppers and Chaotian peppers."
The shopkeeper's explanation originally meant that Mu Zhen bought more, but who knew that she bought more. But looking at Mu Zhen's determined appearance, he couldn't say anything, so he had to ask Xiao Er to help put these up.
"You don't live in this town, do you? There are so many things, why are you two women moving? The shopkeeper asked, looking at the large and small bags on the ground.
The old man was really enthusiastic and enthusiastic, Mu Zhen was very grateful in her heart, and said with a smile: "It's okay, we are here to make ox carts, the old man should not worry, if I want any seeds next time, I will definitely come to the old man's house to buy them." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and waved his hand, and said, "You girl, if it weren't for your determined appearance, I would have wondered if you were a loser." If you can't run out of seeds, bring them to your uncle and give them back. I don't know which village you belong to, whose ox cart you make, I'll let Xiao Er send it to you. ”
Although there are only a dozen catties of things on the ground, it is still a little difficult for them to walk for a long time, so Mu Zhen no longer talks modestly, and said with a smile: "I am really tired of walking today, the old man said so, Zhenniang, I am not welcome." We are from Pingyao Village, and we sit in Uncle Guigen's ox cart. ”
"Oh, Guigen, I know, he should be in the East Gate Tower now, I'll let Xiao Er go with you." He's been doing business in this town for decades, and he's still aware of the news.
When she was walking just now, Mu Zhen told Hongmei about her intention to buy these things, so Hongmei also sold some of them.
But because Hongmei's family, these seeds are more or less some, and in addition, although Mu Zhen told her that she could make money, she still didn't have much spectrum in her heart, so she only bought half a catty of everything.
After all, Mu Zhen kindly wanted to help her, buy less of everything, even if she didn't make money at that time, she could eat it herself.
The seeds of pimple cabbage are five cents, the seeds of small greens and cabbage are two cents a tael, the peas are ten cents a catty, the price of the two varieties of green beans is the same, they are ten cents a catty, the big pepper is three cents a tael, and the small pepper and Chaotian pepper are five cents a tael.
After spending like this, there are two hundred and forty-eight texts left. The shopkeeper had never seen anyone buy so many seeds, so he couldn't help but quip: "I said why did I hear a magpie calling this morning, it turned out that I was going to do a big business." ”
Although she also spent a lot of money this time, she saw that these were all hopes for making money, so Mu Zhen didn't bother with it, and counted the money very neatly.
Because Mu Zhen bought a lot, although the shopkeeper didn't give her a cheap price, he wrapped a few taels of radish seeds for her when he left.
Most of these seeds are available in Hongmei's family, because she sees Muzhen buying the most green bean seeds, so she only buys four catties of green beans and one catty of pepper seeds.
Hongmei bought less, that is, fifty wen, but this is also the money of her two purses.
Mu Zhen looked at her painful face, and couldn't help but think of half a month ago, when she asked Jinshan to help buy things, she herself had this expression.
smiled and quipped: "Sister-in-law, you are willing to be willing, you are not spending money indiscriminately, what are you afraid of, or a few months, when your thing is sold, let alone fifty wen, even five taels you can earn."
Hongmei only thought that Mu Zhen was comforting her, and didn't take this to heart, but she didn't know that a few months later, she relied on the seeds she bought today to get through a difficult time.
The world is impermanent, and Mu Zhen herself didn't expect that she would make a lot of money in such a short period of time. Although compared with large families, this is a drop in the bucket, but the cost of their family of three is still enough.
If you can get out of the control of the upper room, you usually think about some other food to sell, and then you don't have to be so lucky, Xiaobaozi can also go to the school, how can you live a prosperous life.
asked Xiao Er to help the big head go to Guigen, and she herself took Hongmei to the dim sum shop.
Last time, when I asked Geumsan to bring something, I didn't buy anything for Xiao Baozi, but this time I came in person, and I said that I would buy him some foodies back.
Along the way, when I got to the car, it was a big bag again. Seeing that most of the cars were piled up with her own things, Mu Zhen couldn't help but sigh: Shopping is really a woman's nature, and she can't stop when she buys.
