Chapter 36 Selling Dried Sweet Potatoes

The family thought it was very strange, why did Lin He know so much, Lin He said that he saw it in the book, these things were written in the book, Lin Erniu didn't know any words anyway, just said, "Why did He'er see so many strange things in the book, why didn't you see it, Dabao, besides, you have only been in school for a few days, can you know so many words?" ”

Lin He said, "The eldest brother likes to read the books arranged by Mr., I don't like to read those books, so I bought some idle books from the street and came back to read, I asked Mr. if I didn't know the words on this book, some of them have pictures on them, I can understand." ”

Lin Erniu said, "So that's the case, buy more books in the future and come back to see how to farm, help my father see how to farm", thinking that it seems that it is right to let children read, and I have learned so many good things after reading books for less than a month.

Lin He smiled secretly and responded with a smile.

After staying at home for a few days, fortunately, the weather is also better these days, this day is the day of the market in Huayu Town, Lin He felt that the sweet potatoes were almost dry, so he picked up a piece and tried it in his mouth, it was delicious, it may have been made by himself, and it felt better than what he had eaten in his previous life.

Lin He was afraid that he was too subjective, so he asked his family to try it, and everyone in the family said it was delicious, especially the dried sweet potato, because it was not particularly dry, so it was very sweet and not hard, and the sweet potato chips looked better, but they were drier and harder, and after chewing in the mouth for a period of time, they would eat more and more, and it was excellent to make snacks.

Lin He planned to take some with Dabao to sell them on the street to see if anyone bought them. The two of them took the ox cart driven by Daddy Qin to the street, and there were many people on the side of the road to go to the town, and Daddy Qin would stop and take them by the way when he saw that it was someone from Linjia Village, because Huayu Town was not too far away, and ordinary people would not spend money to take an ox cart to go, so this ox cart was free of money.

Father Qin bumped into a woman on the way, and as soon as the woman got in the car, Dabao called "Aunt Ertang", Lin He also called, and the woman answered. Lin He knew this woman, she was a daughter-in-law of his grandfather's brother, that is, their cousin, and she was also her own relative, when Lin He's family built a house, this woman came to eat and drink, but she usually didn't go with their family much, so Lin He didn't know him very well.

The woman was very attentive when she saw Dabao and Lin He on the ox cart, and when she saw the frame in Dabao's hand, her eyes rolled and said, "Dabao, go to the town, if there are any good things to sell, let the second aunt take a look." ”

As the saying goes, this woman's eyes are narrow and long, a bit similar to Danfeng eyes, but they are not pure Danfeng eyes, the cheekbones are very high, the lips are very thin, the figure is also thin, and the eyeballs keep turning around, Lin He felt that this second aunt was a mean look, and there was some resistance to this person in his heart, but he pushed Dabao, Dabao smiled and said, "Nothing, it's just a few embroideries made by my mother, let's go to the street to deliver and then let us go to the street to buy something back." ”

The woman heard Dabao say that it was some embroidery, and she didn't believe it in her heart, Lin Erniu's family had recently made a fortune, which is something that everyone knows, but how they got rich, but no one knows, I am afraid that I have some treasure and I don't want others to know.

The woman's face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, and although she didn't believe it, she couldn't lift the frame of the other person to see if it wasn't. sat like this and didn't move, until they arrived in Huayu Town, Father Qin put the woman down, Dabao and Lin He found a place on the side of the street, spread it on the ground with a piece of cloth, and put the dried sweet potatoes on the ground to sell.

Dabao and Lin He stood on the side of the road for a while, and some people came to ask the price, but when they heard that it cost ten yuan a catty, they felt that it was a bit expensive, and they didn't know what it was, so the person who asked asked asked and left. Lin He felt that it would not work like this, and he had to think of a good explanation.

It happened that a woman came to ask the price, but Lin He didn't say the price directly, so he took a piece of dried sweet potato for the woman to try, saying that it didn't matter if she bought it or not, and the woman thought it was okay, so she took a piece of dried sweet potato and tried the taste.

The woman put it in her mouth and chewed it for a while, and thought that it tasted good, and it was okay to make some snacks for the child. Then he asked what it was, and Lin He said, "It's a kind of wild fruit that my brother dug in the mountains, and then our family processed it ourselves, and it can't be bought outside. ”

Lin He didn't say nonsense, this sweet potato was a good thing in the previous life, it can prevent cancer, it can strengthen the body, and it is not wrong to prolong life. When the woman heard Lin He say this, she thought it was good, but Shiwen was indeed a bit expensive, and she could buy a pound of cornmeal, and finally bought half a catty.

In fact, the dried sweet potatoes are all dried, and there are so many half catties, and a pound of dried sweet potatoes can take a few catties of sweet potatoes to dry, not to mention the white sugar of his own family, and the artificial these also cost money, Lin He felt that it was not too expensive to sell ten yuan.

As soon as this woman opened, many people immediately came to look around, Lin He was not stingy, everyone came and handed a small piece of dried sweet potatoes to people to taste, if they thought it was good, they would buy it, and if it was bad, it would not matter if they didn't buy it.

Lin He smiled from beginning to end, and did not urge people to buy, many guests looked at such a small child with such a measurement, but they found it interesting, the general people who have tasted it, how much they still bought some back, mainly because there are too few snacks and other things in this era, delicious and expensive, where can the average farmer buy it, this dried sweet potato buys a few pennies, and there is also a large handful, and it is good to go back to the children to eat.

After selling it all morning, it was also sold out of more than half, the dried sweet potatoes were almost sold out, and there were still more sweet potato chips left, Lin He thought it might be because the sweet potato chips were very large, and if you bought a pound, there would not be a few pieces.

Because the dried sweet potatoes are a small piece, so visually people feel that the amount of dried sweet potatoes is more, and they are naturally willing to buy dried sweet potatoes, plus the dried sweet potatoes are more difficult to dry, some are not dry, but they taste very sweet, Lin He plans to bring more dried sweet potatoes to sell next time, and the sweet potato chips will be made into small pieces and sold in small pieces.

Lin He saw that it was almost noon, and the people who rushed to the market were almost back, and they couldn't sell much, so they and Dabao packed up some things and planned to go back, and the two of them packed up the cloth and dried sweet potatoes on the ground and wanted to walk back.

When they arrived at the entrance of the town, they saw that Father Qin was still waiting for them there, so they followed Father Qin to get on the ox cart, Lin He, "Grandpa Qin, didn't you let you go back first, you see that you have been waiting here all morning, it is difficult to wait." ”

Father Qin smiled and said, "What's so difficult, but just sitting here and chatting with people on the side of the road will pass quickly, and I'll be fine when I go back, and now there is no field to plant in winter, and I am also bored at home." ”

Lin He smiled, the old man is like this, he doesn't like to stay, just have something to do for him. He Dabao counted the money from selling dried sweet potatoes on the ox cart, and there was one hundred and fifty yuan.

Dabao also felt happy, he originally planned to try his luck, but he didn't expect that someone would really buy this dried sweet potato, and he thought that those sweet potatoes at home could be sold in the future.

Father Qin saw Lin He's two brothers and sisters talking happily on the ox cart, and suddenly remembered something, he touched a cloth bag from his body and took it out and handed it to Lin He, Lin He opened it and saw that there were seven taels of silver, Lin He asked, "Grandpa Qin, what are you doing here, what are you doing with the money?"

Father Qin said, "This is the money I got from selling cattle to you, last time Xiaojun was sick, I still have some on my own, we are now eating and living in your house, and it doesn't cost anything, I also know some about your uncle's affairs, this winter also needs to use money, you take it first, it is useless to put me here left and right, and I will ask you to take it when the time comes." ”
