Chapter 20 Selling Vegetables
It took two days for Xiao Ming and Xiao Han to finally build the grape trellis, Xiao Han is the main force of labor, Xiao Ming has less help because there are often patients who want to see patients, and of course, there is also Xiao Yu, a small bun, who helps before and after running, but it is mostly a help, which makes the two cry and laugh.
Xiao Ming looked at the vegetables in the field and didn't know how to be good, the vegetable field was not big, under the action of the space water, it grew up in a hurry, and the family couldn't finish it at all, so she sent a lot to a few acquaintances in the village, but the next day it grew a large piece, which made Xiao Han sad to death, wondering why it grew so fast?
Fortunately, Xiao Han doesn't know about farming, otherwise he would have suspected it a long time ago.
It turned out that last night Kong found that the dishes at home were gone, only enough to prepare the old lady's portion in the morning, so he specially instructed Lin Bo to run and buy some vegetables with silver to go home.
In the past few days, I have been used to eating Xiao Ming's food, and everyone is eating with their mouths, and they don't want to buy vegetables from outside anymore.
There are also Kong Lin and his entourage in the car, Kong Lin is serious about business, and he is very satisfied with Xiao Ming's dishes, so he got up early today and brought his entourage to really talk to Xiao Ming about the price and receive the dishes.
The group surprised Xiao Ming a little.
Kong Lin explained his intention, he turned out to be here to buy vegetables, Xiao Han was overjoyed, his family was about to rot.
"I didn't expect such delicious vegetables to be grown by you." Kong Lin looked at a young man in front of him and was amazed, it was they who had grown such good vegetables.
He knew that Xiao Ming was his brother-in-law's younger sister, and he looked at Xiao Ming a little differently.
"That's right, I ate the green vegetables and fruits and chrysanthemum tea you gave at my brother-in-law's house, and it tasted very good. I have a few small restaurants in the capital and want to buy them in large quantities. I don't know what Brother Xiao thinks? Kong Lin talked about business seriously, and he didn't look casual at his brother-in-law's house at all.
"This 、、、" Xiao Han talked about business for the first time, glanced at the sister next to him, and said after receiving her encouraging eyes, "There are still some dishes at home, but there are not many fruits and chrysanthemum tea." Xiao Han said truthfully. He only knew that the fruit and chrysanthemum tea were bought by his sister.
"How much you want, the price is negotiable." Kong Lin was overjoyed, thought about it and said tentatively: "The vegetables are fifty wen a catty, the fruits are counted as one tael of silver and one catty, and there are two taels of chrysanthemum tea for a pack, but Kong also has a requirement, that is, it must only be sold to me, and in the future, the restaurants in the town or restaurants in other places cannot sell them when they come to buy vegetables, how about it?" "This price is almost three times the market price, although it is a little expensive, but he is an exclusive buyout, this is the only one.
"Okay, but there aren't many fruits and chrysanthemum tea." Xiao Han agreed, although he didn't know the price of the vegetables, but he knew that when Aunt Song went to sell vegetables in the past, a basket of vegetables was only a few dozen yuan.
Kong Lin was overjoyed, paid fifty taels of silver in advance as a deposit, and agreed to send a horse to pull the goods in the afternoon, and he wanted to send the horse back to the capital as soon as possible.
A few people gossiped for a while, and Xiao Han led Kong Lin to the vegetable field to have a look.
Kong Lin was surprised to see Mao Mao squatting at the door, it was actually a wolf dog, and he didn't believe it when his brother-in-law said it, thinking about how wolf dogs could be raised in rural areas.
He is also a dog lover, especially when he sees Mao Mao's black hair without any impurities, even if he looks for a few such good dogs in the capital.
Seeing that the dog was happy, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Xiao, I don't know if this dog can be sold, how about I pay five hundred taels of silver." ”
"No, Maomao is my family." Xiao Yu hurriedly objected, hugged Maomao's dog head, and looked reluctant, he had to take Maomao to the river to defecate every morning, Maomao loves to be clean, he has to take a bath every day, and he never pees and at home, Xiao Ming asked Xiao Yu to take it out every day.
As if he understood Kong Lin's meaning, his dark green eyes stared at Kong Lin like copper bells, and his mouth let out a warning whine.
Looking at Mao Mao's appearance, Xiao Ming laughed for a while, because Mao Mao only drinks water containing space spirit springs, which is more humane and can understand simple words.
Xiao Han smiled and said noncommittally, "Maomao has been raised in our family since she was a child, just like our family, how could we be willing to sell it." ”
Kong Lin looked at Mao Mao, who was staring at him, was only two months old, and his body size could catch up with an adult wolf dog, and he was human, and when he grew up, he was an expert in taking care of the home and nursing home, and he could take out all kinds of dazzling.
It's a pity that Xiao Han didn't sell it, so he had to secretly say that it was a pity, looking at Mao Mao's eyes with a warning, he didn't dare to say anything more about buying.
Kong Lin sat in Xiao's house for a while, and then went to the vegetable field to take a look, and saw the green vegetables growing in the field, variety, fresh and tender, and he had an appetite when he looked at it, and he was happy for a while, whether his business could go to the next level completely depended on these dishes.
After picking some of the family's consumption, and bringing the few fruits and chrysanthemum tea, Kong Lin set off back to the town satisfied.
The carriage went all the way out of the village, which attracted the curiosity of the people in the village, yesterday and today it is a carriage looking for the Xiao family, something that has never been encountered in Liujia Village.
"It seems that the Xiao family is really developed." Li Shidao, his tone was a little sour, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, if Xiao Ming was really developed, then her plan would be really yellow.
"Didn't you hear from Li Agui who came to see the doctor yesterday? said that Xiao Ming climbed to the Guangji Hall in the town and went to the clinic for three days a month. "The Dawang family is honorable, as if he is talking about her family's children, not to mention how happy he is.
"Haha, I think the golden phoenix is going to fly out of the mountain nest." The third grandmother looked at the carriage in the distance, and secretly thought that she would tell her daughter-in-law to have a good relationship with the Xiao family in the future.
It is not only she who has this idea, but also the village chief's wife, who plans to go back and let the Wang family walk around with Xiao Ming more, and ask the old man of her family to take more care of her.
Only Li Shi was angry and said secretly, "Hmph, what's the good of showing up all day long." ”
Xiao Ming and the three of them were busy after lunch, they had to pick out all the vegetables in the field, and the carriage was going to pull it in the afternoon, and the two of them were busy for a while, and even Xiao Yu squatted on the ground to help divide the vegetables and put them away.
The land is not big, but there are many vegetables in it, and as soon as the three of them finished cooking, the carriage came.
Sending the carriage away, the three of them went back to the house and sat down, Xiao Han wiped the sweat on his forehead, he was really tired.
But although he was tired, he was happy in his heart, the green vegetables and fruit chrysanthemum tea were sold for eighty-five taels of silver, and he wanted to sell more vegetables in the future, so that his sister would not have to work so hard.
Xiao Han took out the silver and let her sister keep it as usual, and discussed it with Xiao Ming.
"Sister, let's plant all the wasteland in front of the door." Xiao Han said proudly.
"It's good, but the wasteland is ownerless, and if we grow vegetables and sell them for silver, I'm afraid there will be opposition in the village." Xiao Ming considered that the imperial court had a clear rule that no taxes should be paid for three years of reclamation of wasteland, but the premise was that the land had to be bought first, and there would be prison time for private reclamation.
In the world's perception, herbs are just weeds, and if they blatantly grow vegetables and sell them for money, it is estimated that the village chief will come to the door in a few days.
