Chapter 64: Someone Picks Up the Goods

As time went on, at the end of October, the vegetable gardens were closed one after another, and the procurement work stopped.

However, the food received is basically enough, and no matter how much it is, it can't be eaten, after all, the manpower is really limited.

Including Ji Yu, more than a dozen people worked day and night for so many days before they could barely finish the dishes in the front yard, but the backyard was still full.

Ji Yu invited Aunt Wang and Feng Liu's sister-in-law to come over to help, they all helped her talk when they separated from the family, and they were usually good people in the village.

There are also some people who think that it is good to take it, and they come to the door to help, Ji Yu asked Widow Xie for inquire, and all those who have a bad character and are not good at work are politely refused.

Then the wages were raised, and everyone worked overtime together to catch up with half a month's work, and it was finally cleaned up.

When I opened the door in the morning, it was white and foggy outside.

In winter, it's like this, either frost or fog, and it can only be dispersed after two and a half days. And the temperature has dropped sharply recently, and the jackets have been replaced with cotton clothes.

Ji Yu estimated that Zhen Jili should also let someone pick up the goods soon, so she and Hu Liang pulled the car to the fifth grandfather's house to pick up the last batch of rattan baskets.

After entering the courtyard, Hu Liang carried a bag of coarse noodles from the cart and put it in the hall, and dragged a bulging hemp bag down, filled with durable things such as cabbage and radishes.

The fifth grandfather even said no, and asked them to pull it back.

Hu Liang said with a smile that the family lacks everything now, but there is no shortage of vegetables.

I just let him stay.

After loading the basket, Ji Yu handed the salary to the fifth grandfather.

The fifth grandfather rubbed his hands and sighed: "You guys...... Alas, I used to send people to the town, and they were all delivered once a month, and some of them dragged on for several months...... You paid such a high price, and you paid it off...... In fact, you can not pay the wages until you sell the goods. ”

The fifth grandfather knew in his heart that they could find the shops in the town to cooperate, and the shops would distribute the work to the people in the villages, which would be much faster.

But they just gave it to themselves, not to see themselves pitiful......

According to the market, a small basket can be sold for two or three yuan, and the larger and more difficult ones can barely be sold for five yuan, but Ji Yu directly gave him a price of ten yuan each.

And these two children, every time they come back, they either deliver noodles or food......

He can't just ask for money, he has to think about others, and it's not easy to do business.

Ji Yu smiled and said: "Fifth Grandpa, don't think about it, our thing is going to be sent to the army, and we can't be sloppy." Handed over to others, the quality is uneven, who can guarantee it? And I'm so demanding, and it's a lid and a hidden button, it's a lot more troublesome than what you usually make up."

"I'm just afraid that I'm going to miss you......"

"No delay at all." Hu Liang followed: "We all control the time, you see, every time the one pulled back is used up, you will drive out the next batch, the timing is just right." ”

Since the fifth grandfather took over the job, he has really been knitting day and night, and his wrists are swollen and high.

Ji Yu couldn't stand it, and suggested that he find a few people to help, but the fifth grandfather thought that Ji Yu thought he was slow and didn't want him to do it, so he explained and guaranteed, and Ji Yu went to him.

She is not a completely emotional person, and she wants to help the sixth grandmother's family on the one hand, and on the other hand, she is sure that she will not delay the business.

And this kind of hand-knitted product, not to mention put it in her time, is to change the place, put on the color and then decorate it, not to mention that it can be sold for dozens of dollars.

It's a pity that rattan can be seen everywhere in Kanbei, so many that it is overflowing, and every family will do it, so naturally it can't be sold at a high price.

At present, there are four batches of rattan baskets, plus this batch in hand, there are a few taels of silver before and after, and the excitement in the heart of the fifth grandfather can be imagined.

I have lived for most of my life, and it is the first time I have made so much money, and it is also the first time that I feel that I am not so useless.

It's a pity that the child is gone, and Daxiang is also ......

Ji Yu saw that the fifth grandfather was originally happy, and his face suddenly darkened, and he could guess one or two.

He interrupted: "It's cold, Fifth Grandpa, you have to hurry up and stock up some food, if you need anything, just tell us, what do you want to buy and let Brother Liangzi help you bring it, he has been running to the town a lot lately." ”

Originally, they wanted to pull some cloth and send it, but it was so cold, the jackets on the fifth grandfather and the sixth grandmother were old and torn, and they didn't know how many years they had been worn, and the cotton wool inside was almost gone.

But thinking about the situation of these two people, they couldn't do it even if they pulled the cloth, so Widow Xie said that when she was done, she would rush to work at night, and she would send it over when it was ready.

The fifth grandfather's attention was really diverted, and after a stack of thanks, he showed Ji Yu his newly figured out, a simpler and more trouble-free compilation method with no discounted effect.

The two of them didn't pull the basket back until noon, and before they arrived at Hu's house, they saw a lot of people surrounding the door, and the carriage was parked neatly.

Someone saw them and shouted enthusiastically to this side: "Liangzi, concubine, you two don't hurry up, there are people in the army!" ”

I've never seen these people so eager before.

Ji Yu and Hu Liang pulled the cart into the courtyard from the other side, only to find that there were more than 20 soldiers standing in the courtyard.

Widow Xie, Aunt Gao and others were crowded in the stove room, and they didn't dare to come over, let alone speak, obviously a little worried.

The common people are afraid of officials, but they are afraid of any official.

Seeing Ji Yu, the leader asked, "You are the sister of Doctor Zhen?" ”

"Uh...... Sort of. Ji Yu's head hurts.

How much does this Zhen Jili lack a sister, and how many people have he told him that he is his sister?

Seeing her nodding, the black tower-like man suddenly grinned, and his teeth were particularly white.

Widow Xie and the others almost suspected that they had read it wrong.

Just now, these people "broke into" the courtyard in a vigorous manner, and when they heard that Ji Yu was not there, they didn't speak when they went to that station with a stiff face, like the king of Hades who came to ask for accounts, and they were so scared that they didn't dare to go out after they sent tea.

How did you see the girl...... Is this the case?

"Doctor Zhen praised us every day, saying that his sister was smart and beautiful, unparalleled in the world, and when I looked at it today, I really didn't brag, hehe!"

The man in the black tower closed his eyes with a warm face, and did not forget to hand over the money bag to Ji Yu.

Regarding the that came out of Zhen Jili's mouth, Ji Yu was selectively deaf.

She took the purse and opened it to look at it, a little surprised.

"This ...... Too much. ”

Ji Yu has calculated an account by herself.

They bought a total of about 120,000 catties of fresh vegetables, the most of which were cabbage, spinach, leeks, radishes and cowpeas, in addition to chrysanthemum, gourd, eggplant and zucchini.

Green onions, garlic, coriander and other side dishes that can be used as condiments are also available, in addition to a small amount of winter bamboo shoots, yams, mushrooms and the like.

Every sixteen catties of fresh products can probably bake one catty of dry products.

The price of fresh vegetables is already cheap, especially when they buy it not according to the market price, but in time for the big price reduction of the garden.

spinach usually costs eight pounds a penny, but it drops to twenty pounds a penny; radish from three catties per penny to nine catties per penny; leeks have dropped from two pennies a pound to five pounds a penny; Cabbage is also two pennies a catty, and in the end, it is simply counted as a penny.

Winter bamboo shoots, yams and mushrooms have not fallen so much, but they are more than twice as cheap as usual.

On average, the price of 16 catties of fresh products is about three and a half yuan, and the price of one pound of dry products can reach 10 yuan.

In short, after 120,000 catties of fresh vegetables are made into dehydrated vegetables, they can earn almost seventy-five taels of silver.

The thirty taels of principal she gave Hu Liang only cost twenty-four taels for procurement, and the labor cost plus the cost of rattan baskets totaled five taels.

That is to say, after cutting out the principal and cost, they can make a total profit of forty-five taels.

But in this money bag, there are four ingots of fifty taels and one ingots, which is a full two hundred taels.

This is much more than the seventy-five taels she estimated.
