Chapter 257: Beginning to Make Money (20)

In this relaxed atmosphere, Qi Ke pre-sold the lettuce to be collected next time on the spot, and the price was directly doubled, 400 wen per catty, and half of the deposit.

The businessmen present, including the businessman who grabbed the cabbage for the old man at home, all paid for the deed, and Qi Ke sold more than 600 catties on the spot.

Because no one has ever seen lettuce, I only heard that Qi Ke said that it is a green leafy vegetable, which can be stir-fried, or it can be blanched in soup and eaten, and the specific appearance can only be seen on the day of harvest.

Qi Keke didn't want the businessmen to go around the greenhouse and estimate her output, so everything was lip service, believe it or not.

The merchants now don't care if the lettuce is delicious or not, as long as there are vegetables, they want it.

When they were talking, a basket of small cabbage was also delivered, this time they collected all the parts they kept, weighed fifty catties on the spot and took them away, and the rest were moved to the back house according to Qi Ke's instructions.

The merchants' eyes turned green when they looked at the remaining baskets of cabbage in Qi Ke's hands, but no matter how they raised the price, Qi Ke didn't sell it, saying that if he wanted to eat it, he would eat it himself, and then beckoned the villagers to help move the vegetables and send off guests.

After sending these merchants away, Qi Ke asked people to move out the little cabbage that had just been sent to the back house, leaving only one basket for himself, and the rest were taken out to sell.

The village women who had just made a fortune from Qi Ke yesterday hurriedly came over, and the price was the same as that of the army, twenty wen a catty, buy one catty and get one tael free.

In just a while, the few baskets of vegetables that were set aside were all sold out, not too expensive at all, didn't you see what price it was sold to those merchants just now.

In such a comparison, the villagers don't think that twenty yuan a pound of cabbage is too expensive, and they will get one or two for buying a catty.

After Qi Ke finished selling the vegetables, he urged the villagers to hurry up and make vegetable baskets, the vegetable baskets were never enough, which was also a long-term income for the villagers, and the crowd soon dispersed and went back to work to earn money.

The businessmen rushed back to the county in the afternoon, and fifty catties of cabbage were unloaded from the wharf, attracting many onlookers, and many people with identity wanted to buy a little at a high price, but the person really bought it for the old man at home for longevity, and he didn't sell a catty, and went home directly.

Other businessmen in the same company released the news in a timely manner, in a few days there will be a batch of lettuce on the market in Siliu Village, one or two silver and a catty, pay half of the deposit first, the quantity is limited, don't be too expensive, it is not easy to grind a few hundred catties, and the rest will be sent to Bai Jiajun, and there is no more to want.

As soon as the news came out, the rich families in the county were moved, although they didn't know what the lettuce looked like, but it was a fresh vegetable, so they hurriedly sent their families to order vegetables with silver.

Bai Qing received the news from the scouts in the county, and learned that the price of vegetables that Qi Ke sold to the merchants was so high, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, such a comparison, the price of vegetables for the army was really the price of cabbage in winter.

So, waved his hand and went with her, he now has to think about raising rabbits, yesterday Fu Xiaoli and they brought back a new news, Qi Ke will make medicine, there is a prescription for chilblain cream, and the main medicine is rabbit brain.

It's too late this year, and next year it's good to raise rabbits, the meat can be eaten, and the brain can be pharmaceutical, it's really a double win.

Qi Ke has repeatedly given support to the army, Bai Qing knows that he also has to repay the favor, he can't take the benefits of others and do nothing, and he must help Qi Ke to put the mountains and forests she wants under her name before the beginning of spring.
