Chapter 95: Buying and Selling
The women in the courtyard instantly stopped talking, some looked at the tall horse and involuntarily took two steps back, while others stretched out their heads and rolled their eyes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Du Shi, who was crossing his waist and preparing to do a big job, hurriedly lowered his hand, and his heart was even more surprised. As soon as his mind moved, a thought flashed through his mind, and the coachman had neatly dismounted the car and removed a short-legged bench from the wheel.
The splint curtain was lifted, and two men in robes stepped on the pedals of the car and got out of the car one after another. The middle-aged man in front of him had a respectful attitude, and said something to the elderly man behind him, and he smiled and greeted him: "Uncle Qin, Uncle Qin is at home?" ”
Du Shi suddenly realized, hurriedly stepped forward and curtsied, and greeted with a smile: "It's the uncle of the Fang family who is here, sit in the house quickly." He added: "Jiaojiao is talking about you at home every day, but I am looking forward to you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Fang Liang just shouted "brother and sister", and the peppercorns with sensitive facial features had already rushed out of the house like cannonballs, running crookedly on one wall and shouting "uncle" on the other, followed by a string of little boys and little girls.
"Huh!" Fang Liang lost his eyes when he saw the peppercorns, and he picked up the peppercorns and lifted them high, the peppercorns laughed hehehe, and said, "Why are you here, come into the house and sit down, I'll serve you tea." ”
Fang Liang laughed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, we are more sensible!" Then he pointed to the old man with a long beard on the side and said, "This is the shopkeeper Guo, let's say hello." ”
Hua Jiao's heart has already turned a thousand times, but his mouth is sweet and called, "Good shopkeeper Guo!" ”
The shopkeeper Guo looked at the little blushing and shiny eyes, his beard was curled, he responded with a smile, and then took off a purse from his body and handed it to the peppercorns, touched her bun, and said with a smile: "Little girl, take it to play!" ”
Huajiao glanced at Fang Liang and thanked him loudly, and took the purse with both hands with a smile, and Fang Liang smiled when he looked at it.
Just like this, Father Qin and the brothers Qin Lianhu and Qin Lianlong who were at home were already walking out quickly.
Fang Liang put down the pepper and waited for her to stand still, and hurriedly stepped forward to introduce her.
Hua Jiao ran to the side of the little brothers and sisters and stood up, looked at Father Qin and the shopkeeper Guo smiled and said a few words, and welcomed the two into the house. Qin Lianlong walked out quickly, chatted with the coachman, and led him into the door to rest. The coachman took down seven or eight decent boxes in red and green from the carriage and sent them into the house.
Hua Jiao looked at it, and walked into the house by himself.
Du Shi's voice came from behind: "There are guests at home, sister-in-law and younger siblings will come to visit the door when they are free!" ”
Hua Jiao turned to look, and saw Du Shi slash his two arms, and sent the women who were still probing their brains and staring at the box out of the door, and then sent them all the way out of the door, and turned around and closed the door.
Huajiao followed Du Shi into the house, and just crossed the threshold, he saw that the shopkeeper Guo said something, he had already put down the teacup and stood up, Father Qin also got up, and a few people went out again, but they went straight to the backyard.
Hua Jiao followed behind, and saw Father Qin leading the shopkeeper Guo to the side of the courtyard wall to the white celery left for the Fang family, pointing and talking.
The place is too narrow, and the pepper doesn't want to alarm the elders, so naturally it can't be squeezed in, but when he opened his ears wide, he could only hear Father Qin explain the principle of baiqin to the shopkeeper in a low voice. On the contrary, I could see that the two old men of about the same age both looked solemn, staring intently at the white celery in the field.
I heard Fang Liang whisper to Qin Lianhu and Qin Lianlong, "...... It is the second shopkeeper of the melon and vegetable store under the name of the old lady, and it just happened that the old lady came down to report the account, and he just arrived at noon yesterday...... It is estimated that I heard about Bai Qin from the old lady, and I saw it in the house again, and I found it at home last night and asked me to help him introduce it. I was waiting at the door of the house in a carriage with a gift box early this morning, and I didn't even have a chance to give you a word......
Qin Lianhu and Qin Lianlong both bowed their heads when they heard this, so they heard Father Qin turn around and say to the two: "Bring a hoe." ”
Qin Lianlong hurriedly responded, and the lobby brother standing on the side was already running to get the hoe that Daddy Qin commonly used, and passed it over one by one.
Father Qin took the hoe, and the shopkeeper Guo was busy squatting down to look, and Father Qin went down with a few hoes and picked up a handful of white celery to show him.
The shopkeeper Guo was not too dirty, so he took Bai Qin and looked at it carefully, and Qin Lianhu and the others behind him hurriedly gave in and withdrew.
Father Qin led the shopkeeper Guo to the side of the water pipe and taught him to rinse the white celery.
Hua Jiao stared at the shopkeeper Guo, and saw that as the white celery in his hand gradually revealed his true face, the already bright eyes of the shopkeeper Gu became brighter.
This time, Hua Jiao was standing at Daddy Qin's feet, and naturally he could hear the two of them talking. I saw that the shopkeeper Guo looked over and over for a long time, and then smiled at Father Qin: "In the end, the white celery that has just come out is much more fresh than what I saw in the mansion." ”
Father Qin said: "This thing is full of water, and it is easy to rot if it is left from the soil." Then he pointed to the dead leaves in the lower part of the celery and showed him: "In particular, these leaves cannot be picked, because once they are removed, they are more likely to spoil." There is also this rhizome, when the white celery is raised, the rhizome is accidentally injured, and it immediately changes color. ”
It's all about experience.
Shopkeeper Guo slowly bowed his head and said: "Precious things, it is not easy to grow and harvest them naturally. ”
The two of them talked around the white celery for a long time before they went to see the long white celery next to the water flute. This slippery celery has only been planted for three or four days, and the cracks have not been extinguished, and the shopkeeper Guo rose even more after knowing it, and pulled Father Qin to ask a lot of words.
Father Qin answered them one by one, without any perfunctory look. Qin Lianhu, who followed behind, Qin Lianlong couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart, but Hua Jiao didn't think so.
If it is said that the family is the most proficient in the production technology of white celery, except for Father Qin, that is, Sichuan pepper. She naturally knew that Father Qin seemed to have said everything, but he didn't get to the point.
But looking at the shopkeeper Guo's thirsty appearance, Huajiao couldn't help but be secretly vigilant.
I already knew it, but I didn't know how there were so many questions to ask, and I stood in the cold wind for half an hour, and then saw the shopkeeper Guo stand up and ask when the white celery could be harvested.
Father Qin groaned slightly, and said, "This stubble of white celery can be harvested around the twentieth day of the first month." ”
The shopkeeper Guo was overjoyed, but he was asking: "Can it be a few days in advance, can it be harvested before the tenth day of the first month?" ”
Father Qin shook his head: "I'm afraid it's too late." ”
Shopkeeper Guo shook his head and said "It's a pity", took Bai Qin, and returned to the house.
Qin Lao Niang and the Du family have already renovated a table.
The female children of the family moved to the east house to eat, leaving only the elder brother in the hall to serve.
Hua Jiao heard Du Shi lower his voice and asked the concubines: "Is that Guo shopkeeper here to talk to our family about the white celery business?" ”
Shen couldn't stop nodding and whispered, "I look like it." ”
Du Shi said: "I always feel that something is wrong, the shopkeeper in the capital, without saying hello, rushed to our door in a hurry to talk about business?" Do you want to talk about losing money? ”
The concubines all shook their heads, and between the cups and cups on the wine table outside, the shopkeeper Guo and Father Qin were just chatting, and did not mention "Bai Qin" again.
But the shopkeeper Guo, seeing that no matter what he said, Father Qin could keep up with such an old man, and he had his own plans in his heart.
After moving to eat tea, after the five flavors of tea, Fang Chaoqin's father said: "I heard that you are the sworn brother of Fang's housekeeper, then we are not outsiders, in this way, this white celery, you should quote a price!" (To be continued.) )
