Chapter 121 Talking about business
"Medicinal herbs? Are you selling medicinal herbs? Does Cordyceps sell? ”
Yuan Bao looked Ling'er up and down, frowned, and said, "What do you want Cordyceps for?" ”
"Don't you care, aren't you going to exchange herbs for silver? If you have Cordyceps, I can help you find a reliable buyer who is absolutely satisfied with the price, how? ”
Yuan Bao looked at Ling'er again, seeing that he was dressed shabby, not like a rich child, he thought for a while and said: "Grandpa Cordyceps said that if the silver is not enough, it can be sold for one or twenty yuan, but we must find a reliable buyer, our Cordyceps is big, with good color, high dryness and uniformity, and the largest one is almost half a penny!"
If you want to pay a penny or twenty taels of silver, can you afford it? ”
"One penny and twenty taels? Three or four is a penny, and an average of one cordyceps is five taels of silver! Ling'er frowned and thought for a while, the price is indeed higher, the last time Ding Zhutou left, he told himself that he wanted to find two or two years of Cordyceps for his grandmother, as long as the genuine medicine is good, the price does not matter.
People say so, the officials have always taken people's things and don't give money, and his "price doesn't matter", is it given to him that he doesn't give money and only helps with things after remembering the feelings? Or is his family really rich? Ding Zhutou really doesn't look like he has a bad family background, but after all, he has only dealt with him once, and he really has no bottom of what his family is!
Yuan Bao saw that she was hesitant to answer, and pouted: "Little stone, don't come to me if you don't have money!" I told you at the risk of being punished by my grandfather, okay, that's it, Damingshu and they must be looking for me! ”
"Hey, wait, wait!"
"What else is there to do? I really don't have time, little stone, let's talk slowly next time I have time, okay? ”
"Oh, don't worry, listen to me! Aren't you going to buy grain? I can help! ”
Yuan Bao stopped: "You? Do you have one at home? ”
"We don't have it, but I can help you buy it, I can collect all the grain from the people who have surplus grain in the nearby villages, one or two quintals for a family, one or two quintals for ten families, and one or two hundred quintals for a hundred families, and there are more than 100 families in our village alone, and we will definitely be able to collect one or two hundred quintals, and when the time comes, let's make an appointment with a place, and you will come directly to pay for the grain?"
Yuanbao's eyes lit up: "Huh! That's a great idea! ”
"Right? But Brother Yuanbao, I'll help you, and you have to help me too! ”
Yuan Bao paused, and immediately retreated vigilantly: "If you want me to send you Cordyceps, there is no way, our Cordyceps is not the same as those in the countryside, one can be worth one or two hundred taels of silver, even if you receive one or two hundred loads of grain, it may not be worth the price!" ”
Ling'er stuck out her tongue: "Brother Yuanbao, do you think I look like that kind of person?" I mean, I'll help you collect food, so you don't have a lot of trouble, so I'm going to charge for your hard work! ”
"Hardship? What hardship fee? ”
"Oh, it's money, and you hired me to pay you for your work, understand?"
Yuanbao frowned and thought for a while: "Well, this is true, grandpa said that we never owe favors to everyone, you help us with things, so naturally we should give you wages, how much do you want?" ”
"Hehe, let's do it, now in the bazaar, I buy millet for three wen a liter, three hundred wen a load, then I sell it to you even if it is three hundred and fifty wen a load, and the fifty wen in the middle is my salary. What do you think? ”
"Didn't bear fifty wen? Ten quintals of five hundred wen, one hundred quintals is one tael of silver, you kid is quite good at calculating! ”
"Where, where? Brother Yuanbao, you yourself have bought rice grain in the bazaar, except for the rice grain shop, how can it be so easy to get together hundreds of quintals? Don't you want to meet and deal with outsiders? I have taken care of everything in this file, you have saved so much trouble, the hard work of giving a hundred taels of five taels of silver is not much, you can sell one or two hundred taels of silver for one cordyceps, what is that few taels of silver? You say, don't you? ”
"This ...... I can't be the master of this matter, I have to go back and discuss with Uncle Daming, and in the end, grandpa has the final say! ”
"Okay, no problem, let me know as soon as there is a result, I'll prepare early!"
"Okay, then that's it, I'll go back!"
"Alas, Brother Yuanbao, I'll go with you to see Uncle Da Ming, anyway, he doesn't know me!"
"This ...... Uncle Da Ming just saw you, and he told me not to talk to you! ”
"Huh? No way! Uncle Da Ming is really not interesting! I think he took me into the village in the first place, how can I turn my face faster than a book, and I am still a big man, really! Brother Yuanbao is still more spirited......"
Ling'er muttered dissatisfiedly and muttered to Da Ming, and praised the ingots for a while, and the ingots were naturally happy, and finally he hesitated for a moment and said: "Why don't you go out with me, you wait under the archway at the entrance of the town, I'll go over and ask Uncle Daming first, see what he says, if he is willing to see you, how about I come over and call you again?" ”
"Okay, okay, that's it, let's go!" Ling'er happily pulled the ingots and walked out. Just kidding, how can the big pie that fell from the sky be let go in vain? Even if you can't get Cordyceps, the business idiot who makes sure you don't lose money don't want to do it?
Ling'er waited for a while under the archway at the entrance of the town, and sure enough, when she saw Liang Daming and Yuanbao striding over, Ling'er immediately rushed up: "Uncle Daming, I haven't seen you for a few months, you are getting stronger and stronger!" ”
Liang Daming looked at Ling'er for a while, and said with a smile: "You kid is not bad, your mouth is getting more and more powerful, and you can actually deceive this kid Yuanbao in a few words!" ”
"Where do I have it, I really want to help, you don't want to ......"
"Alright, follow me!" Liang Daming interrupted her words and strode towards the town, Ling'er looked at Yuan Bao inquiringly, Yuan Bao blushed and moved his lips and said, "Don't ask, come with us!" ”
A few people went back and forth into the town, walked down the street for a while, then turned into a small alley, then several more twists and turns, and finally stopped at the gate of a broken courtyard at the edge of the town!
Da Ming pushed the door in, and a musty smell came from the shop inside, and Ling'er covered her nose and fanned her directly. Daming walked to the stone table in the courtyard, ignored it, sat directly on the dirty stool, and said to Ling'er: "Yuanbao, little stone, you also come to sit!" ”
The two of them went over, and sat on the stone bench directly without wiping it like Da Ming, Da Ming looked at Ling'er for a while, thought about it, and said, "Little stone, tell me what you think!" ”
"Huh? What the? ”
Yuan Bao kicked her under the table, and Ling'er immediately reacted: "Oh! Uncle Da Ming, what did you say about helping you collect food? That's what I think, don't you want to see outsiders, and you don't want to go to the rice grain store? I can help you!
Hey, by the way, Uncle Daming, why don't you go to the rice grain store? With such a large amount, those shopkeepers must be happy, and they can adjust it for you in a day or two! ”
Da Ming frowned and said: "Little stone, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, so as not to get into trouble in the future!" ”
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, causing trouble? Why is that? She turned her head to look at Yuanbao, who winked at her, signaling her not to ask more, and continued to talk about the purchase of grain!
Ling'er saw that the momentum was wrong, now was not the time to ask questions, it was better to start the business first, as long as the relationship was established, she had to inquire about others, and there would be opportunities in the future, so she said seriously:
"Uncle Daming, don't worry, business is business, I swear never to mention the matter of your Liangjia Village to anyone, even my father and mother and friends, I just help you collect food to earn hard money, and I don't care about anything else!"
Da Ming stared at her straight for a long time, making her uncomfortable, Ling'er laughed dryly, Da Ming suddenly said: "Little stone, where do you live?" How many people are in the family? Can you have a field property? ”
"Huh? This ...... "Daming, this is checking the household registration!" How to answer? Keep lying? If they knew about it, they wouldn't have to talk about business, and they wouldn't have a chance to do anything in the future. Seriously? This one......
Da Ming frowned and said: "You have been to our village and know a lot about the situation in our village, but we don't know anything about you, so how can we rest assured that you will let a little girl help collect grain?" ”
Girl? Ling'er was shocked, her face was red and white, she touched her face, although her body is still small, she generally can't see men and women, but people with a heart can detect it with a little attention! Could it be that they have already investigated their origins?
The more Ling'er thought about it, the more shocked she became, and she felt like she wanted to run away, but Da Ming suddenly smiled: "You don't have to be afraid, the people of our Liangjia Village never ask about the world, just to ensure the safety of the villagers, we will check the roots of the people who have come to the village!" ”
Ling'er was stunned for a long time, her face was extremely ugly, and finally she gritted her teeth: "I'm sorry, Uncle Daming, Brother Yuanbao, my original name is Yang Ling'er, I am indeed a daughter, my family lives in Wangjia Village, a few miles away from this town, there are only old fathers and mothers who are nearly sixty years old, there is no field, only a small yard!" The reason why he changed his name to Xiaoshi and changed his dress as a man is that there is something unspeakable, and this matter is not clear in one or two sentences, if Uncle Daming wants to hear it, he will have the opportunity to elaborate on it in the future! ”
Ling'er finished with a crackling breath, and then let out a long breath. Just say it, anyway, most of the people have found out, this group of people don't see outsiders very much, they are a little girl, I believe they won't do anything to themselves!
There was silence in the courtyard for a moment, and Yuan Bao was surprised: "Little stone, you are really a female doll?" Last time my grandfather said I didn't believe it anymore! Ah, by the way, I was buying a basket at the market, and I met a girl doll exactly like you, so ......"
"That's me, I'm afraid that my daughter won't recognize me when she dresses up as Brother Yuanbao, so I deliberately found a set of clothes to change into!"
Yuan Bao stared at her stunned for a long time, and shook his head again and again: "It's amazing, I didn't see it at all!" ”
Ling'er shrugged, turned to Liang Daming and said, "Uncle Daming, what's the matter?" If you believe me, leave this work to me, and if you really can't believe me, I won't force it! ”
Da Ming suddenly laughed, he patted Ling'er on the shoulder and said, "Girl, it's good!" Speak smarter than a brat! I like this! Let's do it, I can't do anything about it, let's go back and ask the village chief first, as long as he nods his head, this matter is decided! ”
Ling'er was overjoyed: "Okay, good, Uncle Ming, that... So how do we exchange news? ”
Da Ming looked around, pointed to an abandoned stone mill in the corner of the courtyard and said: "Look there, you come to this courtyard at noon tomorrow, if you find that there is a bamboo tube under the stone mill, then you agree, we will write the requirements into a note in the bamboo tube, you do it according to that!" If you have any requirements, you can also write it and put it in a bamboo tube, and someone will pick it up! (To be continued.)
