Chapter 42: Banlin Town
Thank you for the update of the "Book Friend 121021142605650" children's shoes, I'm sorry, I didn't save the manuscript, and I can't add it for the time being! Sorry, sorry! ************
Ling'er went all the way down the mountain and out of the forest, at this time she had long lost her previous joy, but was a little worried, listening to the meaning of the Lin brothers, it seems that those wood merchants do not have a few good things, and this wood market seems to be very deep!
It's a shame that when I was in Yamaguchi Town, I whimsically went to Cangmang Mountain to build a big forest farm and made a fortune, and people don't have a forest farm or a wood farm. The forest farm is just a dungeon, planting trees and cutting them by themselves, which not only takes a long time and costs a lot, but it is not easy to take the land alone, or the huge vast mountain has not been carved up by the landlords and gentry long ago?
Forget it, it's okay, others can go up the mountain to cut wood, and you can do it yourself, but there is no limit. The top priority is to go to the wood yard first, cut the firewood back home and sell it at a good price, and only with the money can you build a house for the winter!
Banlin Town is easy to find, and before it is completely out of the woods, I see several white bands extending out of the mountain, one of which leads to the northwest. This white strip is naturally the lane into the mountain, which is now the country road.
At the foot of the mountain, Ling'er found that there was a large square at the entrance of the vast mountain, on which there were many ox carts neatly parked, some of which had begun to load wood, and around the square there were young men with improvised weapons patrolling from time to time, and the atmosphere was quite serious.
Ling'er walked out curiously along the passage in the middle of the square, and from time to time shirtless men shouted at her: "Hey, girl, go away, go away, don't come here to get in the way!" The rest went well.
As she was about to cross the square, a middle-aged woman greeted her with a smile: "Little girl, have you come down from the mountain?" ”
Ling'er nodded, and the woman smiled and took out a candy and handed it to her: "Your father is cutting trees on the mountain?" ”
Ling'er frowned slightly, didn't pick up the candy, avoided the woman and wanted to go around, but the woman caught up and said, "Hey, little girl, don't go!" Auntie asks you, do you want to buy timber or sell timber? ”
Ling'er didn't answer, she ran a long distance to get rid of the woman, she just stopped to catch her breath, and suddenly heard an old man laugh and said, "Little girl, do you have wood to sell?" Ling'er didn't look at it, just ran away with the basket on her back, and ran for nearly a mile before she got rid of the group of nurseries who were talking to wood!
She put her hands on her knees and panted, and when she looked back at the square, she saw that there were at least 100 people walking around the square and looking around, looking for someone to talk to at every turn, which reminded her of the scalpers who scalped tickets at the station in her previous life. It's okay if they only scalp tickets, but some of them also come with robbery and human trafficking, which is really hateful! It's really all bad guys in any era!
Ling'er sorted out, and walked a few hundred meters forward, and saw a huge town in front of him, a big archway at the entrance of the town, and a half-forest town on the book, which was really close!
With the previous lesson, she learned to be obedient, no longer casually asking people about wood, just being an ordinary little girl who came to the town to grab medicine for her father.
After entering the town, she walked and looked, and found that there were really not many furniture stores in the town, there were also many carpenter shops, and of course, there were some small shops with small signs selling wood at the door. She walked slowly all the way, but she didn't ask the price, but when she saw someone buying something and asking for a price, she leaned over to look.
Obviously, although there are many shops in Banlin Town, the retail price of wood and furniture may not be low, and some are even more expensive than other places, and most of the bosses are arrogant, and if they don't reduce the price, they don't look like you can't afford to ask; But if you open a shop and do wholesale, the situation is completely different.
For example, the wooden basin, just an honest aunt walked from the street to the end of the alley and came back, almost all the shops with wooden basins asked, the price was all about 25 Wen, and finally she said a lot of good things with a smile on her face, and she bought it at the price of 22 Wen. Seeing her happy look, Ling'er twitched the corner of her eyes, remembering that the grocery store in Yamaguchi Town only sold for twenty wen a piece that was slightly larger than this wooden basin!
And another middle-aged man with a big belly who looked very good, as soon as he entered the store, he smiled and smiled, he didn't have to open his mouth, just pointed to the wooden basin, and the guy immediately quoted ten yuan, and the miscellaneous materials were even only eight yuan! In the end, the man took all fifty of them at the price of eight cents, and the guy was busy with a smile on his face, and he was more attentive than serving his mother!
In addition, the price of timber is the same, the same store, the price of buying is double the price of selling, the pricing standards are different, but it depends on the wood variety, year, thickness, even if it is only one centimeter thick, the price will be much worse.
Ling'er has a bottom in his heart, so he has been walking north, as soon as he leaves the town, he sees a big signboard next to it "Integrity Wood Yard", looking at this scale, I am afraid that the timber of several streets in the town does not add up to much here!
The main entrance of the wood yard is divided into two gates, one in and one out, and on either side there are long ox carts filled with all kinds of timber. Business here is really not ordinarily good, it seems that the beard is really a good person!
She watched for a long time and noticed that there was a row of houses next to the main entrance of Kiba, and there were words written on the doors of each room...... And so on and so forth.
She looked around, found a sales room with few people and went in line for a while, and when it was her turn, the guy behind the counter looked at her and said with a smile: "Little girl, what kind of wood do you have in your house?" What about the thickness? How much? What about the material? What about the vintage? How long has it been chopping? Dry, wet? ……”
The guy asked a long list, Ling'er frowned and thought about it, and made a comparison: "The thickest one is so thick, the thinnest one is so thick, there are about thirty of them, it is the kind that is very common and straight on the mountain, I don't know what the name is, anyway, my father and mother originally planned to use it for furniture!" ”
The guy nodded slightly, and wrote something on the paper: "Then you didn't bring wood today, did you?" ”
"Well, yes, that thing is too heavy, we can't move it, I want to ask the price before moving here!"
"Okay, you see this is our lumber price list!" The man pointed behind him, and saw a large table on the wall, listing the approximate price range by thickness and variety of wood.
The man pointed to one of the columns and said, "You should be talking about ordinary eucalyptus, look at this column with a thickness of more than half a foot." As long as the length is enough for one zhang, the price is between 100 and 300 wen. It depends on the actual situation, we will have a special master to give you an evaluation, and then we can give the actual price. Little girl, where do you live? How far is it from here? ”
Ling'er thought for a while, and her eyes lit up: "Uncle, can you come to pick up the goods?" ”
The guy smiled and nodded: "Yes! If the distance is within five miles, there are at least 20 or more C-grade wood, oh, C-grade is the kind of thickness of more than half a foot that you just told you, we can send a master to evaluate the price and transport back the wood, these are all free. ”
Ling'er is happy in her heart, this wood farm is really thoughtful, this can also be done! After a while, she frowned again and said, "Uncle, if there are not enough Grade C woods for twenty?" My father said that only the lower part of a tree is thicker, the middle one can be used as furniture, and most of the top ones can only be used as firewood! ”
The guy thought for a moment: "This...... If it's less than twenty, you'll have to add some labor costs! ”
"How much is that?"
"One person, one car, one trip, twenty wen!"
"How much can you pull in one trip?"
"It depends on the dryness and wetness of your wood, the dry nature is more pulled, the wet weight is heavy, and the nature is less!"
Ling'er asked a long list of questions, silently jotted them down, thanked the guys, and slowly left the wooden field.
