CHAPTER XIX
Cautiously following behind Dong Xiaoman, who had an ugly face, Erlang chose to follow him. And he croaking tirelessly said the same non-nutritious words: "Daughter-in-law, you can buy whatever you like." ”
"Daughter-in-law, are you hungry, the tofu flowers in this house are delicious."
"Daughter-in-law, do you like flower cloth, let's go and see how to pick up a piece of material for you to make clothes?"
Dong Xiaoman couldn't bear to turn his head and said, "I'm just hanging out, okay, don't you grind behind me?" ”
Erlang immediately closed his mouth and said with a flattering smile: "Okay, okay, you don't get angry and let me do anything." ”
Dong Xiaoman knew the truth that the road was suitable and stopped, and reached out to pull Erlang's cuffs and walked forward. Erlang saw that Dong Xiaoman's attitude softened, and knew that he had not coaxed her in vain, and immediately grinned happily and walked around like an idiot.
Dong Xiaoman went shopping for a day, basically watching the food. She bought snacks from a few shops and walked to all the shopping streets to eat a few side dishes. With Erlang, who was holding a bunch of food, he found the big tree tied to the donkey cart and went home happily.
Driving the donkey cart, Erlang looked at the people around, and took Dong Xiaoman's hand with some flattery, and said with a sneer: "Daughter-in-law, what have you seen in the past day?" Dong Xiaoman raised his eyebrows: "How do you know what kind of Tao I am watching, don't I just go to eat and drink?" ”
Erlang pouted and smiled: "Where can't I see it?" You ask the price from door to door, is this clearly to find out the news? It's just that I don't know what you're going to do, I guess you're going to eat. What are you going to eat? ”
Dong Xiaoman was very happy, at least Erlang Zhilu Dao observed that he knew that Lu Dao used his brain to think about the problem: "I just thought that we have nothing to do now, and it is good to make something to eat and sell it in the city for money." How many pennies are counted as pennies, do you agree with it? ”
Erlang turned his head and looked at Dong Xiaoman thoughtfully: "Are you ready to sell it in the city?" How tired, I don't want you to suffer this! ”
Dong Xiaomanle leaned on Erlang's shoulder, and said with a soft voice: "I am only responsible for doing it, and you are responsible for selling." Are you willing to endure this hardship, husband~~~"
This is Dong Xiaoman's killer feature, coquettish and tricky. Last night's crying, this morning's cold face, and now coquettishness, make Erlang overwhelmed. Nonsense, of course he likes a gentle little wife who is easy to talk to and discuss.
Erlang's heart moved, and he grabbed Dong Xiaoman's shoulder. Holding her by his side, he drove the car with a whip in one hand and said, "Okay, you can do whatever you want." I'm not afraid of that hard work, but can you be sure we can sell it for money? What are you doing, we don't have anything at home. ”
Dong Xiaoman smiled mysteriously, and now he will know the Tao after selling it.
The prices of this era were like this, one tael of silver could buy about 300 catties of rice, or about 500 catties of vegetables, or about 40 catties of fine pork.
The most expensive pork is the fat meat for 40 wen a catty, then the pig's head meat costs 35 wen a catty, the good pork belly costs 30 wen a catty, the pork skin with fat and thin costs 25 wen, the lean meat costs 20 wen, Dong Xiaoman's favorite pork ribs cost 15 wen, pork belly, pig liver, pig lungs, pig trotters are all 10 wen a lot, and a pork bone stick is 3 wen a piece.
Fish is much cheaper, and a pound of fish costs eight cents; River shrimp are also cheap, and they cost five cents, and these things can be beaten by themselves from the river, and Dong Xiaoman automatically filtered them out.
Lard is more expensive and costs 20 wen a catty, sesame oil costs 30 wen, and soybean oil is the most expensive and costs 70 wen a catty, which makes Dong Xiaoman staggered.
The cloth is uneven, linen cloth costs ten yuan a horse, a better cotton cloth costs twelve to twenty yuan, and silk silk is even more expensive.
Dong Xiaoman inquired about the housing prices in the city again, and it was really not expensive compared to later generations. The usual three-in, three-out courtyard basically costs thirty taels of silver, and I didn't ask if it was too expensive. A small shop basically costs ten taels of silver, and there is not even a table with a counter at the door. The kind with a few tables like a tavern is more expensive, basically the price of an ordinary house is thirty taels. Dong Xiaoman, a big restaurant, appraised it, and if there are no seventy or eighty taels, don't even think about it.
After traveling around Rongcheng County, Dong Xiaoman found that the quality of life of the residents here was generally good. The business circle is not small, and the people's life is hundreds of times richer than in the village. If you can do business in the city, that's not bad.
Dong Xiaoman summed it up in his heart, and thought that he would make something to eat first to see how the market was. Anyway, I was a foodie in my previous life, and I always like to make some food like this and that to treat myself.
Erlang took Dong Xiaoman home and went to his in-laws to deliver the donkey cart first. Li hurriedly came out to see what they bought, and when he saw that it was all kinds of dim sum to eat, he couldn't help but sour: "Erlang's daughter-in-law is so blessed, the two of them went to the city to buy dim sum and came back to eat." ”
Old Mrs. Zhang's happy face also fell: "You two are not rich, and the food at home has not been sold, so you went to the city to wander around." The old 2 family, it's not me talking about you, you look at you and you won't live a day. ”
Erlang said, "Have you sold all your grain?" ”
Mrs. Zhang pouted and said, "It's not, but it's only half sold." Your father said that what your daughter-in-law said makes sense, and now that the price of food is cheap, maybe it will increase in the future. ”
Li sneered: "Can she still believe what a girl who has never farmed?" If you want me to say that my father-in-law is also confused, how can the price of this family's grain harvest increase? It's getting cheaper every day, huh, I'll see what you guys do. After speaking, he glared at Da Lang fiercely: "Listening to the wind is rain, now there is so much food left at home, can you eat?" ”
Dong Xiaoman didn't expect Da Lang to be the master of the house when he heard it, it seems that the Li family is not as powerful as it seems. At the critical moment, it was Da Lang who checked it, and he really didn't see it at the same time.
Mrs. Zhang asked, "You haven't sold a tael, what are you doing with so much, why don't you sell some of them first." ”
Erlang nodded and said, "Today I went into the city with Xiaoman to ask about the price of grain, and the price in the city is much more expensive than the grain collected in the village." The two of us will simply sell it directly to the grain store, although we are tired, but we can sell it at a good price! ”
Li smashed it and said: "If you think so, everyone will go to the city, how can you say that you can sell it." Hum! ”
Dong Xiaoman stepped forward and said, "I told a boss that we will go to the store tomorrow to show him the grain." If the boss thinks it's good, he wants food for our family. In that case, we may be able to reserve next year's grain. We calculated that each catty of grain is one penny more than the grain received, and this thousand catties is one tael more silver. ”
Erlang also said with a smile: "Yes, or Xiaoman will settle accounts, we haven't thought about it before." ”
Li's eyes rolled and he stepped forward and smiled: "Of course, my younger brother and sister can read and hyphenate at a glance, which is different from a rough person like me." After speaking, he said with a smile: "We still have some food at home, so we might as well sell it." ”
At this time, the old man Zhang entered the house, only to hear this and asked in surprise: "What about selling grain again?" ”
Li nodded like garlic, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Erlang and his family are very powerful, and they both sold rice to the rice shop in the city." Isn't it just to wait for the price to rise, I don't think we can sell it now without waiting. ”
Old Man Zhang nodded: "I think so, Erlang, since you have a way, let's sell them together." ”
Although Dong Xiaoman doesn't like Li's stitches in his heart, more food is the guarantee of credibility. I don't have enough food, so it's a good thing to be able to sell more.
Erlang was also very happy, and nodded stupidly: "Okay, let's sell it together." ”
Dong Xiaoman hurriedly stepped forward and said: "I have two points to instruct, please listen to whether this is the truth." ”
Old man Zhang said: "You say, let's listen." ”
Dong Xiaoman said: "People in the village have the habit of following the trend, if people know where we go to sell grain, we will also sell it." There is a lot of competition, and when the time comes, the merchants are bound to bargain, and all the first points I hope everyone will keep their mouths shut. As he spoke, he glanced at Li and frowned: "You can't get a little cheap and shout everywhere, it's time to hurt everyone." ”
Li also knew that Lu Dao was talking about himself, but he was not upset, but felt that what he said was reasonable, and hurriedly reassured: "Don't worry, although I don't have a door." But as long as I make money, I can resist talking about it. ”
"The second point is that we must be honest and trustworthy, do business and do our duty, and we must not do something immoral. For example, mixing some old rice in the rice makes people laugh at us, and we have lost the credibility of cooperation in vain. Old Man Zhang nodded: "This is also reasonable, we are responsible people and do not do the lack of virtue that disgraces our ancestors." ”
Dong Xiaoman finished instructing, looked back at Erlang and said, "Let's go to the city tomorrow to show them some rice, and after signing the contract, they will come to the car to pull grain." ”
Everyone nodded, and for the first time, the Li family generously asked Erlang and Dong Xiaoman to drive the donkey cart home.
When he got home, Erlang remembered this day like a dream, and he thought that his daughter-in-law was just shopping. As a result, I visited all the rice shops and so many dim sum shops.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you want to do after selling the grain?" Erlang asked excitedly, now he felt as if there was hope in life, and he couldn't exhaust his strength.
"Take one step at a time, sell the grain first and then talk about anything else." Dong Xiaoman once again sold a pass.
P: Some readers complained to Momo, saying that the benefits were too few. Hehe, Momo wrote the first night of the two of them too stingily, and then the passionate picture that was obviously very interesting was also briefly summarized in a few words.
Well, Momo will improve, and next time I have this kind of opportunity, I will definitely give it some meat. Although Momo writes flesh and is really powerless!!!
