"Sell Chinese cabbage! Fresh Chinese cabbage too! ”

With this shout, the people on the street looked in the direction from which the sound came, and naturally they all fell on Wang Degong's ox cart. He has already sold a few cabbages, and this will have long lost his initial nervousness.

"Chinese cabbage? …… What is it? ”

"Chinese cabbage? Cabbage? ”

"This cabbage, why does it look like this?"

"It looks weird, but it looks fresh......"

……

Although few people have ever seen this kind of cabbage that looks like a big watermelon with a stem, in the ice and snow, people who were originally kind to the green immediately became interested in cabbage. Although they had never seen Chinese cabbage before, they couldn't contain their curiosity.

"Hey, man, how do you sell this cabbage?"

A middle-aged man asked.

"Three, three pennies a pound."

Wang Degong immediately spoke back.

"Sanwen?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then surprised.

"What is the price of a pound of meat, only a dozen dollars, and a few dollars for chickens and ducks? What kind of cabbage are you, you actually sell it for three cents, this is all catching up with the price of chicken......"

Some people here are too expensive, but some people on the other side think it's not expensive.

"Sanwen, it's not expensive, so, bring me two."

A middle-aged man in a gray cotton jacket said.

"Two trees...... Eleven catties and six taels, go to zero, count eleven catties ......"

"Thirty-three texts,"

The middle-aged man settled the account for him.

The expensive one shook his head and his eyes widened.

"More than 30 yuan, just eat a few bites of food. It's almost catching up with the price of meat. ”

"Hey, don't be too expensive, tell you, what does this cabbage taste like, I don't know yet, but I know that there are dignitaries in the capital, who don't have a few cellars to cultivate vegetables with horse manure, and the vegetables in the cellar grow out of the leaves are tender yellow, called yellow sprouts, in our Beijing Division, there are a few people who are not wealthy and dignitaries can eat such vegetables in winter......"

The man patted the cabbage in his hand and smiled.

"Let's spend more than 30 yuan and eat the dishes eaten by the nobles, it's worth it! If it weren't for this brother, would you be able to eat this dish in the cold? ”

Is there so much more to eat?

Just as Wang Degong was standing there stunned and listening to the man showing his knowledge, the shopkeeper of the restaurant on the side came out.

"Hey, man, your dish looks quite fresh, can you put it?"

"Back to the shopkeeper's place, this cabbage is different from ordinary cabbage, you buy it back and put it in the empty space in the house, pile it up, separate each layer with sorghum stalks, pour it down every three or five times, put it fresh for a month or two, if there is a cellar, it can be put in the cellar for a few months."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this, and he walked to the ox cart, estimated it, and found a small piece of broken silver, and pointed to the cabbage left on the cart.

"In that case, I want it all!"

When the person who was originally too expensive heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Man, you have to get me one first, after all, I'm here first!"

This car can only hold a thousand catties, that is, less than two hundred. Just now was bought by the road dozens of pieces, and the rest is only about a hundred, after the shopkeeper paid the silver, he naturally had to help the shopkeeper send the cabbage into the restaurant, and also helped him put the dishes away.

When he left the restaurant, Wang Degong, who was carrying a few hundred dollars and a few taels of silver, was still in a trance, he thought that he might not be able to sell it, but he didn't expect it to be sold out so quickly.

Carrying a heavy amount of silver, he was thinking about buying cloth when a young man came by and asked.

"This brother, your cabbage is sold out, will you come and sell it tomorrow?"

"Sell, sell, come early tomorrow morning."

Looking at the young man in front of him who was wearing a leather hat and a leather jacket, and at first glance he was not an ordinary person, Wang Degong said with a smile.

"Can it be sold? There are still tens of thousands of catties in the cellar at home? Can you not sell it? ”

"Tens of thousands of catties!"

When the man heard this, he immediately opened his eyes and said.

"Put it in the cellar, you mean, these cabbages can be kept in the cellar for a while, right?"

"The proprietor said that the cabbage can be left in the cellar for at least four or five months......"

"It lasts that long!"

The young man's eyes widened in astonishment, and he looked at the empty ox cart, and said,

"It's not a coincidence today, so, it's still early, you send a car of this cabbage to the Zhangfu of Dashahat Hutong, the old lady likes to eat some fresh vegetables, there is a ready-made cellar in the house, this is three taels of silver is considered vegetable money, when the time comes, you just say that it was sent by Liu's house."

Is that okay too?

Looking at the fixed money handed over by the young man in surprise, Wang Degong's face was full of disbelief, this person is not afraid of running away by himself?

However, the rich boy was not worried at all, and confirmed the address again before turning around and leaving.

More than an hour later, when it was almost time for lunch, Wang Degong, who was driving the ox cart, returned home happily with the newly purchased flower cloth and meat.

Seeing that the girls were cooking, he immediately shouted.

"Don't cook at noon today, let's eat Jinling's roast duck, I heard that Emperor Lao Tzu eats this, I specially went to the cheap shop to buy ......"

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Without waiting for his daughter-in-law to finish speaking, Wang Degong poured out the silver money in his pocket.

Crash!

A large push of copper coins made a harmonious sound on the table, which made Wang Degong laugh.

"Xiaoxi, look, our cabbage has been sold! It sold for a few taels of silver. ”

Before, they only got three or four taels of silver for farming, but today it was only half a day's work to earn the money back, how could he be unhappy in his heart.

"Don't worry about the cabbage not being able to sell now, right?"

Looking at the mother-in-law's dumbfounded appearance, Wang Degong laughed and said.

"Do you see, this is a silver ingot, a full three taels of silver ingots, this is after I finished selling vegetables, others saw that our dishes were fresh, and placed a fixed amount of money, let me send a car to their house in the afternoon, this thousand catties can be sold for three taels of silver, how many cabbages do we have a month? At least, there must be more than 100,000 catties...... Obediently, you can make a fortune now, Xiaoxi, we will live a comfortable life in the future, and when the spring begins, our family will also build a big house of blue bricks, and then buy two rings to wait for you......"

Once a person makes a fortune, he will always immediately say the ideals in his heart that he felt unattainable in the past, and while Wang Degong was talking about his ideals, he tore a roast duck leg from the oiled paper bag and handed it to his daughter-in-law who had not yet eased up.

"Damn, eat roast duck, Emperor Lao Tzu also eats this roast duck, it's fragrant......"

At the same time, he muttered to the two sons on the side.

"What are you still doing in a daze, don't you hurry up and eat meat, our family will have a good life in the future!"

At this moment, his smile froze on his face, and he saw his neighbor Sun Yuanmao looking at him with a surprised face...... Looking at the silver and copper coins on his table.

After being stunned for a while, Sun Yuanmao said.

"Wang, Brother Wang, your cabbage has been sold!"

As he spoke, looking at the roast duck, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva. But in the end, his eyes were fixed on the silver......
