Chapter 12: Candles in the Cave Room

I bought a stone of millet, and I ate five buckets for one meal today, and I can only eat two meals for the rest of the food, which is better than having no overnight food at home, but it is only a little better.

Dr. Zhao was on crutches and stood in the cold wind holding his stomach, as if he wanted to try to remember today's rare feeling of fullness.

If you have never been hungry, you don't know how precious it is to have a full meal.

Li Xiao calculated in his heart that if he saved a little, he would get twelve and a half yuan for eating five buckets of corn a day. Twelve and a half cents can fill the stomachs of forty or so people, and it sounds like a simple goal.

"San Lang, there won't be any hidden dangers when this cucumber is sold to the Zhang family's little overlord, right?" Doctor Zhao asked with some concern, there were many people just now, and he didn't say much, but the Zhang family and the Li family were big enemies. The current decline of the Li family is all calculated by the Zhang family.

"Don't worry, there won't be anything to follow."

Xiaobawang bought a hundred cucumbers for 2,000 yuan, and he is probably still laughing. According to Li Xiao's estimate, he will definitely sell these cucumbers for money, this kind of rare thing, and the quantity is not much, and there are aristocratic and rich families in Chang'an City who can digest it, and maybe he plans to make a small profit.

"Isn't that cheap?"

"Cheap them? How can it be? Li Xiao smiled, he still had 900 cucumbers in his hand, this is still the first crop, or in a few days, the second crop of cucumbers can be harvested again.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiao will take the cucumber to Zhang's house. If there are really only 100 roots, he can just go to Chang'an by himself. Because of the large quantity, Li Xiao knows very well that cucumbers can't really sell at too high a price.

"I'm going to sell the rest of the cucumbers tomorrow." It's impossible to get twenty wen a piece, but even if one can be sold for two yuan, it will never be a loss. After all, Li Xiao's cucumbers were not really transported from Jiangnan, nor did they grow in the ground after several months.

His cucumber vine can produce tens of thousands of cucumbers, so the goods will be very sufficient, and what is needed now is to get the quantity out.

"San Lang, do you know where this cucumber is produced?" Doctor Zhao asked, he is the first time he has seen such a magical cucumber, and the first time he heard that Zhang Xiaobawang is willing to buy a hundred cucumbers for 2,000 yuan, which fully explains the rarity of this cucumber.

"I think so, if we can find the owner of this cucumber, we can master this channel, and we can make a lot of money from this transaction." Dr. Zhao is quite business-minded.

Li Xiao's cucumber is simply explained to others that he was bought from a businessman, but he hasn't explained it to anyone, and he can't explain it clearly, but fortunately, everyone trusts Li Xiao very much, he doesn't say it, and no one goes to investigate it deeply.

However, seeing that this cucumber is so rare and profitable, everyone still wants to get more cucumbers.

"I'll contact you again about this matter, I don't think it's a big problem."

"Yes, but why should people sell us such a good thing, can't they sell it directly?"

Li Xiao laughed twice and replied.

Mr. Zhao didn't have much to say when he saw this.

Li Xiao said that there were still 900 cucumbers, and Mr. Zhao was thinking about how to sell them as soon as possible.

"How about selling them all to Zhang Chao?" Mr. Zhao said.

Li Xiao shook his head, "Today, I sold him one piece of twenty wen, just because I said that this batch of cucumbers is scarce, very rare, and it was transported from the south of the Yangtze River thousands of miles." If we take out another 900 cucumbers tomorrow, then the matter will not be clear. At that time, he will definitely not be willing to pay a high price, and may even ask us to return the high price we gave yesterday. ”

"My idea is that we will go to Lanxi, Lantian and Chang'an separately tomorrow, sell long, try to sell at a high price first, and sell it piecemeal, it is okay to sell a little, and take advantage of the fact that this thing is still rare, and make a fortune from him."

Even if it sells for less than 20 wen a piece, it is good if it can be sold for 15 wen and 10 wen a piece.

If you sell it later, you can sell it at a reduced price, if you can't sell it for 20 yuan, you can sell it for 15 yuan, if you can't sell it for 15 yuan, you can sell it for 10 yuan, and if you can't sell it for 5 yuan, you can sell it for 2 yuan.

Even if it is sold for two cents and one piece, Li Xiao can produce tens of thousands of them in his hands, which is not a small amount of money.

This money is not a lot of money, and it is not enough to pay off the debts of the Li family, but it is enough to improve the current embarrassing life.

"When I turned around, Xiaobawang took the cucumber and thought that it was a strange thing to live in and treat it as a treasure, but in the blink of an eye, it was all over the street, and he was estimated to vomit blood in anger." Mr. Zhao said with a smile, Mr. Zhao has never had a good impression of Zhang Chao.

"That's not right, not only to make some money from him, but also to be angry with him, it is better to collect a little interest first."

When I got home, the house was still bustling.

Today's stomach is full, everyone's body is warm, no one is in a hurry to lie down early to bed, just chat around the fire.

As soon as Li Xiao entered the door, he found that Li Zhen, Zhao Wan and many other women were not there.

Yang Da saw him come in and said with a smile, "The bridegroom is back." ”

Guo Biao and a few other men came over, "Cuihua has already boiled water for you, you hurry up and take a bath, even if it is the night of the candles in your cave room today, you must wash it clean!" ”

Li Xiao was a little confused.

How can this be considered the night of candles in the cave room?

Mr. Zhao followed in, but he was smiling.

As he was talking, Li Zhen also came in with a smile.

"Brother, today you have a round room with your sister-in-law."

"Yes, just today."

Everyone, you say a word, I say a word.

There's nothing wrong with that. At the beginning, Li Xiao had a good relationship with Zhao Wan, and he was a childhood sweetheart, but later Li Xiao still left home to take refuge for Zhao Wan's heroic rescue of the United States, and the news of Li Xiao's 'distress' came back, and Zhao Wan took the initiative to marry into the Li family with her spirit card.

Now that Li Xiao is back, this is naturally a happy thing.

Tonight, it should be the night of candles in the cave room.

Li Xiao was stunned and didn't know what to say, although he inherited the memory of that Li Xiao and had always liked Zhao Wan in his heart, but it was just a childhood sweetheart's liking, and it was not to the extent of getting married, besides, he was not exactly that Li Xiao.

After he came here, he admired Zhao Wan's steadfastness and admired her virtue, but to be honest, it was really difficult to accept letting him marry a girl who had only met for half a day.

But seeing that everyone looked taken for granted, and even happy, he didn't know what to say, no matter what he said at this time, it was estimated that it would ruin the atmosphere, and would even be regarded as unacceptable by everyone.

After all, no matter what, Wan Niang is already his wife, and what qualifications does Li Xiao have to refuse, refusal, is an ungrateful Bo Qinglang, who will be sprayed to death by a mouthful of spittle.

But did you just accept it?
