Chapter 133 Redemption
Liang Daming looked down at her: "What's the matter, you're in trouble?" ”
Ling'er smiled embarrassedly: "It's a little troublesome, Uncle Daming, you know that doing business is all about paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand, uncles sell me grain, I will give them silver, you see, the fifty silver you gave me last time has become such a lot of grain, what do I use to settle accounts with the big guys for the food in the back?" ”
Liang Daming paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "Don't you just want money?" And all those twists and turns! ”
He took out two silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Ling'er, "This is one hundred taels, the money in the town can be exchanged, take it!" I won't talk to you about the price, as long as the food is okay and the time is as short as possible, your salary can be increased! ”
"Really?! No problem, Uncle Daming can rest assured that he will complete the task! By the way, Uncle Daming, when will you come to transport grain next time? You'll have to let me know first! ”
"Next time...... If you have enough food for a hundred stones, hang a bamboo tube in the place where you are, and as long as we are not delayed by other things, we will come in the middle of the night that night. ”
"Oh, yes! If I hadn't come, how would I have found you? ”
"If you don't come...... You don't need to look for us, as long as it is convenient for us, we will contact you! Ling'er heard how to hang and hang, and felt that Liangjia Village was like a revolutionary base! Are all the people in their village an underground party?
Ling'er's eyes rolled: "Uncle Da Ming, that... If you don't come, I'll collect so much food...... You know, the only way to get enough grain in a short period of time is to raise the price, and if I sell the grain at this price, I will lose money, and then the loss will ......."
Liang Daming smiled dumbly, rubbed Ling'er's head and said, "You stinky girl, I didn't bargain with you, you bargained with me first!" But I really can't be the master of this matter, I have to go back and ask the village chief first, and see what he has to say! What's more, now the village needs to reserve not only food, but also a lot of places to use money, and it is unlikely that you want to ask for more money......"
"Hey, Uncle Daming, aren't there a lot of medicinal herbs in your village? If you're short of money, why not exchange some herbs? ”
"Selling medicinal herbs? Hum! Those herb shops are more cunning than the other, he sells one or two herbs to patients for one or two silver, and I sell him a pound for less than a hundred, this group of people are obviously drinking our blood! ”
Ling'er has a deep understanding of the profiteering of the pharmacy, and she smiled embarrassedly, "That's true, that group of people deliberately tricked people with their own medical skills of three-legged cats!" And ordinary medicinal herbs are indeed not worth much, but, Uncle Ming, you can take some expensive and hard-to-find medicinal materials on the market to sell, the price of that kind of medicinal materials must be high! ”
"How can it be so easy, the medicinal materials that are difficult to find on the market are expensive, you have to have the goods; Even if there is a stock, who wants to sell it if the person who buys it can't afford it? ”
Ling'er smiled and said: "Uncle Daming, I know a person, he wants to find some cordyceps for his grandmother, that person said, as long as the things are good enough and the price is good, I don't know if you have them there?" ”
"Cordyceps?" Liang Daming paused and looked back at Yuanbao. Yuan Bao glared at Ling'er, blushed and said: "Uncle Da Ming, I didn't say it, last time my grandfather asked me to take her to the warehouse to pick up medicinal materials, she saw it herself!" ”
Ling'er laughed dryly: "Hehe, Uncle Da Ming is not strange, I heard that that thing is quite valuable, so I took a little heart!" If you really want to sell, I can go to the buyer's house and see what price he can offer, what do you think? ”
"This ......" Liang Daming hesitated slightly: "Okay, anyway, the village chief also said: If you need it, Cordyceps can be sold, you have seen the appearance and quality of Cordyceps, at least twenty taels and one yuan, if it is less, it will not be sold!" Also, in any case, we can't mention the matter of our Liangjia Village, remember! ”
"Okay, Uncle Daming, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense!"
It took Liang Daming and the others more than an hour and nearly ten wagons to transport most of the grain in Ling'er's warehouse, and the two sides checked the accounts and made up a whole number of one hundred and forty stones.
It costs a total of forty-five taels of silver to buy food, and Ling'er can get exactly seven taels of silver, Liang Daming gave a deposit of fifty taels last time, and this time he gave one hundred taels, and after the two taels were offset, it was equivalent to Ling'er receiving Liang Daming's ninety-eight taels of silver.
At Ling'er's suggestion, the two parties wrote a deed to facilitate future checking, but Liang Daming's name was Lin Ming, and I don't know if there is such a person in the world? This is not important, getting the money is more reassuring than anything else, Ling'er put away the silver ticket, personally sent Liang Daming and others out of the door, watched their figures disappear into the night, and then yawned and went back to the courtyard.
Ling'er was sleeping soundly, and suddenly felt her body being shaken, "Ling'er, Ling'er, it's not good, get up quickly!" There was the anxious voice of the old lady in her ears, and Ling'er turned over and muttered: "Mother, people are just sleeping, don't make noise!" ”
"Oh, you girl, get up!" Ling'er felt a pain in her buttocks, she sat up suddenly, and saw the old lady squatting in front of her with a panicked face.
"Mother, what are you doing? Late in the middle of the night! ”
"You dead girl, sleeping in the yard, you don't even know that our food has been moved! Look, look, the warehouse door is wide open! ”
Ling'er rubbed her eyes and looked closely, and sure enough, she saw that the warehouse door was open, uh! I forgot to close the door just now! She quickly got up and explained with a smile, and took out the silver ticket of one hundred taels and handed it to the old lady, who looked at the silver ticket for a long time, and stammered: "Big... Has the big proprietor come to transport grain? How... Why did you come in the middle of the night and didn't hear any movement? ”
"Mother, now the weather, how hot it is during the day, and the moon is so bright at night, you can see it clearly without a lantern; There are many of them, they are not afraid to walk at night, and it is cool, so they come at night! ”
"Oh, that's right...... Makes sense, too! But Ling'er, the big proprietor is so far away, what's the matter, you should also drink water and cook something to eat, next time you come again, you have to wake me up and your father, ah! ”
"Okay, mother, I must call it next time!" Ling'er persuaded her father and mother to go back to sleep, but now that the temperature is low, she simply goes back to the house with a mat blanket and sleeps.
Maybe it was because she was too tired from tossing last night, and Ling'er didn't get up until midnight. When she went to the front shop, Yue'er and Xiaohuzi had already arrived.
The old lady pulled her to the backyard, stuffed a heavy burden into her and said: "Ling'er, this is the fifty taels of silver and copper coins that my father and I just exchanged from the money bank, your father said that you take care of the accounts, and the money will be handed over to you, you first pay off the accounts owed yesterday, and those who sell grain today will directly give the cash, and the rest of those mothers will collect it first, and then change it when you want it, okay?" ”
"Okay, my mother is still thoughtful, then I'll go ahead and be busy!"
"Okay, let's go, let's go, my mother will cook you something delicious, ah!"
Ling'er happily carried the burden to the front, counted the money and put it away, and wrote a notice for the checkout and posted it at the door. Obviously, everyone was very concerned about receiving money, and after a quarter of an hour, people came to the door one after another to settle the accounts, and the number of people who picked up grain to sell gradually increased.
After two days of experience in the past, everyone worked in an orderly manner, and they were busy for a while until it was dark and closed, Ling'er still sent everyone a salary to settle the bill, and then started to copy the account book while settling the accounts alone, because if you want to give Liang Daming and others a penny, you have to keep a share, right?
Today, I spent more than a dozen taels of silver to clear the account, collected forty or fifty stone of grain, and also spent a dozen taels of silver, and there were about twenty taels of copper coins left on the cabinet. Ling'er took the account book and copper coins back to her house and hid them before going out to eat with her father.
On the fourth day of the grain harvest, it was still the same, because there was cash, and there were a little more people selling grain, and at noon, the grain in the warehouse was enough for a hundred stones, and Ling'er took the time to go to the back of the house and hung a bamboo tube to spread the news.
At night, Ling'er simply didn't sleep, and waited for the middle of the night, when the ingots came to fetch food. They really came on time, just after midnight, there was a knock at the courtyard gate, Liang Daming and others checked the grain as they did last time, and then checked the accounts while transporting the grain.
After settling the settlement, a total of 180 stone was transported today, 55 taels of grain and silver were bought, 9 taels of wages, and the balance was 34 taels. This little money is definitely not enough to harvest food tomorrow, Ling'er looked at Liang Daming with a blank look, Liang Daming sighed lightly, took out a cloth bag from his arms and threw it to Ling'er.
Ling'er opened it and took a look, it was actually Cordyceps! The roots are golden in color, coarse and dry, with a very strong smell, and at first glance they look like real insects, and they seem to move when they touch it!
Liang Daming said: "Don't you want Cordyceps?" There are about six dollars here, you can find a way to buy it yourself, it doesn't matter how much silver you get, we will use it for a hundred taels of silver for food, and tomorrow you will continue to collect grain, and if you have enough for a hundred stones, you will send us a message, understand? ”
Ling'er was stunned for a while, six coins of cordyceps are worth a hundred taels of silver? It's definitely profitable, it's just... It's just that the grain is harvested every day, and a large amount of cash is required every day, so how can I have time to sell Cordyceps? And Ding Zhutou just said casually before, whether it will work or not, he hasn't gone to the bottom yet! It seems that if you want to make this money, you have to go to the county seat!
Liang Daming and the others counted the grain, gave instructions as usual before leaving, and then slowly left with the carriage by moonlight. Ling'er stood at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, and then turned out the bag of cordyceps to take a closer look, under the bright moonlight, these thick grass roots are crystal clear, and they seem to be glowing with a shimmering light, which is very beautiful! Tsk, at least a tael of silver, what a good thing!
She returned to the yard, lying on the bed and thinking over and over again, after a long time, she sat up all of a sudden, no, she had to go to the county seat in one or two days, first find Ding Zhutou to probe the bottom, he doesn't want such a good thing, the opportunity to make money in vain can't just be lost!
So, she learned that Suo Suo got dressed and ran to knock on her father's door until she lifted them up, saying that the big boss had come to settle the account with Ming'er alone, and then went back to the house to pack up her things!
