Chapter Eighty-Four: This Gift Is Precious
When Lin Yue thought of these things, he only felt guilty in his heart and felt guilty and blamed himself.
When she reached the door of a shop, she saw a woman in a lilac costume and a man in a black costume sitting inside.
There are a lot of fruits in baskets in the store, including grapefruits, oranges, kiwi and grapes, etc., Lin Yue just looks at it, and knows that it is very fresh.
Lin Yue was looking at the fruits in the store, and the woman in the light purple dress stepped forward and asked with a smile, "This guest officer, do you want to come in and have a look?" The fruits in our store are all local fruits in Qinhe County, but they are fresh. ”
"That's it, Childe, you can choose as you like, if it's not enough, we have some in the back room for you to choose from." The middle-aged man said, pointing to a wooden door behind him.
The man and the woman in the lilac dress were originally husband and wife, both natives of Qinhe City. They saw that the guest who came to the door was dressed quite exquisitely, and the pair of buckskin boots on his feet were not something that ordinary rich boys could wear.
When the man and his daughter-in-law saw him, they thought that the guest officer must be from a good family. Therefore, let the guests choose with confidence, saying that there is still in the back room.
In fact, before Lin Yue walked into this store, she also saw that several men came to this store to buy fruits, and left without chatting a few words.
Presumably, the fruits in this shop are good, and the prices are certainly not cheap.
She is easy to disguise as a man, and it is inconvenient for her to say more, let alone speak the dialect of Qinhe County, so as not to be discovered, she is from Qinhe County. Moreover, she was going to buy some fruits for Ah Jing to eat, and bring some fruits to honor her master.
Even if the fruit sold by others is more expensive, as long as it tastes good, she won't mind.
He immediately said to the woman, "Bring me two bamboo baskets, and I will choose for myself." When I have chosen, you can just weigh it, install it, and collect the money. ”
As soon as the woman heard Lin Yue's cold words, she didn't dare to say anything, so she immediately took Lin Yue two very delicate bamboo baskets and put them in front of Lin Yue's eyes.
After Lin Yue picked some golden oranges and a lot of grapefruit from Daohe Village, and put them into two bamboo baskets, the woman reminded Lin Yue:
"This guest officer, the bamboo baskets in our store are only rented and not sold, because we still have to use bamboo baskets to hold fruits, and we can't lose them. You see......"
Lin Yue smiled lightly, calmly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to the woman, and said:
"You don't have to make change."
In her first life, she and her master had come to Qinhe County and had some understanding of the rules of doing business for the traders here.
Most of the vendors here are very shrewd, and they will never miss any opportunity to make money.
The vendors will keep more bamboo baskets in their shops, so that some customers who want to rent bamboo baskets can rent bamboo baskets to carry fruits home. Before the guests rent a bamboo basket, they will register their identity information in the store, rent a bamboo basket, and deposit a tael of silver here.
Rent two bamboo baskets, bet two taels of silver in the store, and so on.
When the guests come to return the baskets, the vendors will take a closer look. If the basket is intact, the deposit will be refunded to the guests.
However, under normal circumstances, the vendors will deduct some money, and as for the reason, they will say that the bamboo basket is deformed, or something.
There are also some guests who live far away from Qinhe City, rent the bamboo basket home, and don't care about coming to Qinhe City again in order to return the bamboo basket, so they give up asking for a deposit.
The deposit paid by the customers who did not return the basket went to the owner of the shop.
Lin Yue gave the silver, found the rope she had prepared in advance, tied her two burdens, and carried them behind her. Carrying a bamboo basket of oranges in his left hand and a basket of grapefruit in his right hand, he walked out of the door of the store and went to take a cruise ship on the Jinyun.
Not long after Lin Yue walked out of the store, an old man with gray hair walked over, and couldn't help but snatch the two bamboo baskets of fruits she was carrying.
She had just taken a look at the man's hand, the slender fingers......
Oh, even if someone is disguised, she can recognize his hand.
Seeing that the man was carrying fruits, he soon boarded the Jinyun cruise ship, and Lin Yue was overjoyed. This Ah Jing, come to help, just help, and run away when you grab something, it's scary.
Lin Yue hurried to the Jinyun cruise ship and got on the boat.
Lu Jingshuo, who was standing on the boat waiting for Lin Yue, saw her on the boat, and immediately helped her untie the rope tied to her back, remove the burden, and help her go to the guest room on the second floor.
As soon as Lin Yue arrived at the guest room, he saw his younger sister who was already resting on the soft couch, and his younger brother who moved a back chair to sit on the edge of the soft couch. She looked delighted, and asked in a very soft voice:
"Brother, sister rested as soon as she got on the boat?"
Lin Heng smiled embarrassedly and said, "Where is my sister so obedient?" She had seen a lot of fruit and candy on the docks, and she kept staring at them. Brother Jingxiao helped us buy it all the way. No, my sister ate a lot of delicious food, and after playing on the boat for a while, she rested. ”
Lin Heng said, stretched out his finger and pointed to the pastries placed on the wooden table, and said to Lin Yue:
"Sister, those pastries were all bought by Brother Jingxiao for us."
Lin Yue said gratefully:
"That's good."
She picked out some oranges from the bamboo basket, as well as three grapefruits, packed them in a cloth bag, and asked Lu Jingshuo to bring his seventh brother and Ke Lian's brother.
The grapefruit was placed in the room, and the room was full of fragrance, Lin Yue took a breath of air fiercely, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.
She is on the boat and will soon leave for Yancheng, and everything will be better.
Lin Yue was a little tired, just waiting for the boat to leave, so he found a basin, washed his face briefly, and went to rest inside.
At the same time.
Lu Jingshuo was still in Lu Jingxiao's guest room, eating fruit with Lu Jingxiao and Niu Kelian, and talking about himself.
Lu Jingshuo took the grapefruit handed to him by Lu Jingxiao and said, "Seventh brother, you said, Ah Yue doesn't have much money, why do you want to buy pomelos from Daohe Village for us to eat?" ”
The fruits produced in Daohe Village are delicious, but they are too precious, and none of them are sold cheaply.
Let's talk about the pomelo produced in Daohe Village, which is directly one or two pieces of silver, and you can't choose it, and you can't talk about the size. If you don't buy it if it's too expensive, there will naturally be other customers who are willing to spend money to buy it.
As for the pomelo produced in Huaxi Village, it is three to five catties for one or two pieces of silver, and the owner of the store will allow customers to taste a little before buying.
Despite this, many customers are still more willing to buy pomelos from Daohe Village.
Before this, Veteran General Xue's I Army rewarded Ah Yue with how many silver taels, and Ah Yue only received how many silver taels, Lu Jingshuo knew. He took the grapefruit that Ah Yue bought for them, and always felt that this gift was too heavy.
Lu Jingxiao quickly heard the off-string sound of his sixth brother's words. That is to say, these fruits that Lin Yue bought are not cheap, and she is really generous enough to give them a gift.
"This gift is indeed precious." Lu Jingxiao looked at Lu Jingshuo with a smile and said:
"Sixth brother, when we arrive in Yancheng, I will ask Brother Ke Lian to find his cousin and ask her to take Lin Yue...... My sister went out for a walk. When the time comes, see what Sister Lin Yue likes, so let Brother Kelian's cousin buy it and give it to her. ”
