Chapter 7 The Journey of Cabbage

An acre of land is not a small place, especially for a girl, it is really tiring to carry water back and forth every day to water the ground. In the past, it was the rainy season, so I didn't use much watering, but as soon as the rainy season ended, the weather started to get hot, and sometimes I had to water more than once a day.

With Qi Ran's help, Chu Junxi finally freed his hands, although he still had to work, he could at least pick some easier things to do. Qi Ran looks weak and weak, and he never fights back when he is bullied, but his strength is not small, and he doesn't sweat a little when he hits two buckets of water at a time.

Chu Junxi felt more and more that his thighs were hugged very right, no matter whether Qi Ran would really have a different chance in the future, at least it was very useful now!

Because the Chu family couldn't afford to pay much, they simply wrapped Qi Ran's lunch. Although it was just some sweet potatoes or nests, Qi Ran didn't seem to mind and had a lot of fun eating every day.

After a month of hard work by two people, the cabbage of the Chu family has grown big and tender, and it is almost ready to be picked and sold in the next few days. So how to sell and how much to sell is a question worth considering.

Chu Junxi roughly estimated the number of cabbages in the field, about 4,000 pieces, if you go to the market to set up a stall to sell, I am afraid that I don't know that I will sell it until the Year of the Monkey. By then, the vegetables have not been sold, and I am afraid that they will already be killed and old.

"Brother Aran, you said that if I wholesale these cabbages, will it sell better?" Chu Junxi gnawed on his nest head, and suddenly had an idea.

Qi Ran tilted his head, not understanding. What does wholesale mean?

Chu Junxi waited for a long time, but only got a puzzled expression from Qi Ran, I'm afraid he didn't understand. "Specifically, the more you buy, the cheaper it is. For example, a cabbage was originally sold for 3 cents a piece, but if you buy 10 cabbage, I will charge him less for one; Or you can make it, buy ten cabbages, and give him one. “

Qi Ran nodded, touched Chu Junxi's head appreciatively, and felt that this idea was a good idea. It's not a new approach, but it's fitting for their current situation.

"Hmph, I think that's possible!" Chu Junxi smiled proudly, "We have too many dishes, if we are entangled in a penny or two dollars, we will lose even more!" When all these cabbages are sold out, we will have a variety of varieties at a time, and it is best to ensure that there are seasonal vegetables all year round! ”

Qi Ran finished eating the nest head, and casually cut a sharp stone and wrote on the ground - "pickled vegetables".

The two had planned before, and they could let their mother pickle a little cabbage, preferably with different tastes. Sauerkraut, pickles, and spicy cabbage, make a little bit of each, pickles are easy to preserve, and even if you can't sell them, you can eat them yourself.

"It just so happens that there is still some money left at home, so let my father buy some pickles and come back tomorrow! We will also pick some good cabbage to go to the market tomorrow and see if there are any big customers! ”

Since you want to do big business, you have to be a little stance. As soon as Chu's father came back from chopping firewood, Chu Junxi arranged a carpentry job for his cheap father: cutting a plank.

The next day, as soon as Qi Ran knocked on the door of Chu's house, Chu Junxi came out with a wooden plank. "Brother Aran, you have a very important task today!"

Qi Ran's task was to write a price card, but they didn't have pen and ink, so Chu Junxi picked up a piece of carbon from the stove and gave it to Qi Ran. "High-quality Chinese cabbage, one piece of Sanwen, buy ten and get one free!"

It's a lot of work to write with carbon, but Qi Ran still tries to make it look as good as he can.

"Wow! Brother Aran, you are amazing! Chu Junxi clapped his hands and applauded, this is not a stammer, it really feels good!

"Yes, although we can't read, but this writing is very comfortable, I don't think it's worse than the words on the plaques of those big families outside!" Father Chu also nodded in praise.

Qi Ran actually rarely had the opportunity to write, and although it was carbon, he was still quite happy.

"Sister, we want to go too!" Just about to go out, the two little ones hugged Chu Junxi's thighs and wrapped them to go together.

"No, what did Sister tell you, I forgot about it after a while?"

"Sister said that Rong'er and Niuniu are going to play in the field today to prevent bad people from stealing vegetables! If it is stolen by the bad guys, my father and mother, my sister, and we will all be hungry......" Chu Junxi just said a word, and the two of them were dejected, and they repeated today's task by themselves, and they were no longer entangled.

"Well, if you do well today, Sister will come back and bring you something delicious." Chu Junxi hugged the two small ones and kissed one of them. Those people in the village are not good at stubble, seeing that their home is getting better and better, I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it for a long time, if there is no one in the field today, it is difficult to guarantee that something will not happen.

After explaining, Chu Junxi and Qi Ran carried a big basket by themselves, went to the field to pick cabbage first, and then set off for the market. In the morning, there was a delay because of the price card, and there was no good place in the market, so the two of them squeezed into a small corner.

"Fresh and tender Chinese cabbage, let's come and take a look! Freshly plucked from the ground, three pennies a piece, buy ten and get one free! "Qi Ran can't speak, and the thing he shouts can only be Chu Junxi. When they went out, the two of them were assigned work, Chu Junxi was selling, and Qi Ran was responsible for calculating the money and collecting the accounts.

Chu Junxi has always felt that he is quite smart, but mathematics is indeed a mess, and there will inevitably be confused accounts, so he can only let Qi Ran work part-time as a bookkeeper.

The morning passed, and there were many people passing by, but there were few serious people who wanted to buy. The reason why everyone stopped to look at it was nothing more than this: how did the little monster in Xihe Village get mixed with the mute little bastard in Beihe Village?

Chu Junxi has long been used to it, anyway, these good deeds are not his target customers, they can watch it if they want, and they will not lose a piece of meat.

Originally, Qi Ran was still a little worried, but when he saw that Chu Junxi was still smiling and not feeling sad at all, he was also relieved. Chu Junxi was much braver than he thought, but he underestimated her.

"You cabbage looks good, is there anything else?" An aunt dressed in a teal cotton dress stopped in front of their stall.

Chu Junxi saw the blue and yellow luck on the aunt's body, as well as this simple but not ordinary clothes, so he was sure that this aunt must be from a big family.

"Auntie, you have such a good eye, our cabbage is very tender and fresh, these are just picked in the field today! We still have a lot of cabbage, so it's no problem to have as much as you want! If you have time, you can go to our field and pick it yourself, and if you are busy, we will send it to your house. ”

The big customer is finally here!
