Chapter 225: Business is booming
"How much is your fruit charcoal a pound?" A middle-aged woman in relatively simple clothes asked first.
Qin Rong had a warm smile on his face, "Auntie, the affordable price is thirty-five yuan a catty." ”
Such a good charcoal costs 35 yuan a catty, which is not expensive, but it is not much cheaper, so it can only be said that it is worth buying it.
Those shops that specialize in selling charcoal, some of the good charcoal are sold for a pound before forty Wen, and the quality of the color is not necessarily comparable to the charcoal sold by this girl.
The middle-aged woman thought about it for a moment, "Okay, weigh me three catties." ”
Qin Rong said, "Auntie, you are too expensive, this charcoal is burned from fruit trees that have grown in the primeval forest for many years, and the inside is very tight, just a larger one, it is enough for a family to bake for half a day, and the amount of these three catties is not a problem to burn for a street." ”
The middle-aged woman smiled when she heard this, three catties, weighing, heavy.
"Okay, if it works well, I'll continue to buy it from you next day."
He happily gave the copper plate and left.
The ordinary people in the town have about a dozen taels of silver a year, and buying charcoal is not a painful thing for them, and soon, one after another people came to talk to Qin Rong about charcoal.
Generally less than two or three catties, slightly more than seven or eight catties.
"Weigh me fifty pounds."
A man came to the stall and said.
Suddenly came to such a big deal, Qin Rong took a good look at the other party, it was a middle-aged and elderly man with a big belly, wearing a good cotton coat, wearing a black hat, followed by two young men, either the housekeeper of a family, or the purchasing manager of that restaurant.
Fifty catties, then you can get more than one or two pieces of silver, Qin Rong's heart was full of joy.
"Okay, you wait, weigh it right away."
The other party looked at the charcoal in the cloth bag, touched his chin and nodded, "I heard that your charcoal is burned from fruit trees cut down in the primeval forest?" ”
"Yes, uncle, so the texture of our charcoal is so tight, the color is so black and bright, not counting the fruit trees in the primeval forest, and it has to be carefully fired in a large charcoal kiln for about seven or eight days, and this batch of charcoal is only out of the kiln." Qin Rong said with a smile.
Then he asked, "I would like to ask, which family does the uncle belong to?" ”
"I am the housekeeper of the Li family, surnamed Zhao, the Li family, you should know." The middle-aged man said proudly.
Qin Rong suddenly remembered that they had sold honey to the Li family, and Mrs. Li was generous, giving them 800 wen for a pound of honey.
"The Li family, that's the largest family in the town, within a radius of dozens of miles, uncle, you came to sell charcoal with us, it really gave us face, and we will have to take care of the business more in the future." Qin Rong was surprised.
Steward Zhao was patted on the back and was in a good mood.
"Your charcoal is easy to burn at a glance, this time buy fifty catties first, if the effect is really good, you can ask for a little more next time."
He suddenly thought of something, "No, I heard that there are many wild beasts in the primeval forest, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will die, just the three of you, dare to go to the primeval forest to cut fruit trees?" ”
Qin Rong had already weighed the amount of fifty catties, and when he heard this, he quipped, "If Steward Zhao doesn't believe it, wait until the people on the street disperse, go back to the village with us, and we will take you into the forest and prove it to you." ”
Steward Zhao remembered the sensational rumors in the primeval forest, and couldn't help but shudder, "Hey, forget it, I believe you." ”
This kind of texture is probably only burned by the fruit trees of the primeval forest, which is indeed the best charcoal he has ever seen.
This girl dared to enter the primeval forest and came out unharmed, she must be a brave and capable person, and he couldn't help but admire it in his heart.
"Fifty catties of charcoal, thirty-five pounds of money." Qin Rong said, "A total of one tael of silver is seven hundred and fifty wen, so it's fifty wen less." ”
"Okay, the little girl is so kind."
Steward Zhao suddenly reflected, and he realized that this girl didn't bring an abacus, so she calculated it by heart? It's incredible.
"Little girl, do you know how to do mental arithmetic?"
"Yes, I've been in business for a while, and practice makes perfect." Qin Rong didn't want to reveal too much.
Steward Zhao gave a thumbs up, "Some people have to use abacus to do business all their lives, and the little girl is called talented." ”
Steward Zhao left, and Qin Rong saw the two children sitting obediently on the side, so he remembered to ignore them.
"Zhou Yanzi, you go buy some fresh meat buns, don't let them go hungry, by the way, buy more, Linghua They should be almost there."
"Hmm." Pei Chenzhou went.
After a while, he brought eight large meat buns and handed them to each of the two children, "Take them when you have finished eating." ”
The bun is big, thin, and full of meat, and it is indescribably satisfying to go down in one bite, full of fragrant teeth.
The two children's eyes lit up, chewed a few times and swallowed, and then couldn't help but take a bite.
"Is it delicious?" Qin Rong turned his head and asked with a smile.
"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious."
"No wonder you're in a bit of a hurry, eat slowly, don't choke." Qin Rong said, "Only by eating slowly can it be absorbed and grow its body." ”
"Hmm." Xiaoli reached out and patted Xiaokui's back, "Sister eat slowly." ”
Xiao Kui opened a pair of big eyes, "Sister, brother Zhou, auntie, you can eat too." ”
"Well, we've eaten at home." Wan touched Xiao Kui's head.
There were more and more people buying charcoal, and the three of them were very busy, and not long after they came, half of them were sold.
Qin Rong calculated, according to this trend, these three hundred catties of charcoal are not enough to sell.
"Girl Rong, if I go home and bring the remaining two hundred catties of charcoal, the carriage has not been returned yet, and the back and forth will be very fast." Pei Chenzhou said.
Qin Rong felt that it was feasible, "Well, it's going to be hard for you to make a trip." ”
Pei Chenzhou's family built a house, hired craftsmen, and found raw materials, there were many things, but he was bent on helping her.
However, speaking of which, they are already considered to have one interest, and there is no difference between those who are busy with him and those who are busy with her, and when the charcoal is sold out, she will deal with the matter of building a house with him.
The young man said, "There are many people today, and we must be sold out, and if we can't sell out, we will go to the door of others to recommend ourselves." ”
Pei Chenzhou had just left, and the people from the old Qin family happened to arrive.
At this time, Qin Rong's charcoal was about to sell two hundred catties, and seeing that Qin Rong's business was so good, they knew that their business would definitely not be bad, after all, it was charcoal from a charcoal kiln.
"Even if you have a little conscience, you have left a place for our old Qin family." Zheng said.
Old Qin Tou asked Qin Wangtian and Qin Wangdi to put the charcoal in the cloth bag, the Qin family's charcoal was only a hundred catties, and the two cloth bags were full.
"This position is not for you, it belongs to Aunt Linghua's family." Qin Rong said coolly.
Why did she leave a place for them?
The Qin family was stunned.
"Dead girl, I know that you don't have any conscience for the old Qin family." Zhou scolded angrily.
"I didn't say I wanted to keep it for you, you thought it was you." Qin Rong said while giving people the nickname Tan.
The people on the street all looked at the old Qin family with disgust.
"Okay, why did you scold people?"
"Yes, it's the New Year in three days, it's really disappointing."
"It must be a red-eyed family's business is good."
"Give me a few words, I don't know how to lose face." Old Qin Tou glared at Zhou, "If you shout for a while, there is no place at the end of the street, so don't hurry up." ”
Qin Wucai was dissatisfied in his heart, and spit on the position of the Linghua family with a mouthful of saliva.
Qin Rong's face sank, and he took out a broken charcoal from his pocket and bounced it towards Qin Wucai's heel.
Qin Wucai only felt something hitting his heels, the force was not small, he stumbled and threw himself on the ground, his mouth just hit the phlegm he spit on, and the dirt covered his mouth.
"Wow, wow, wow." Qin Wucai retched, and a touch of saliva stained the sleeve of his clothes.
He glanced at the broken charcoal beside him, and subconsciously glared at Qin Rong, Qin Rong took advantage of the gap to tease Xiao Kui, his fingers lightly poked Xiao Kui's round cheeks that began to gain weight, and he didn't know what he was talking about, which made Xiao Kui laugh.
It's like nothing happened.
However, Qin Wucai believed that she did it.
"Little slut, you wait for me."
scolded in a low voice, and followed Lao Qin's family to the end of the street.
Not far away, Wang Geng was pushing a bull cart, and Linghua was following him, coming here.
Before and after this scene, they all saw it clearly, and their hearts were happy.
Rong girl, good job.
