Chapter 136: Business Opportunities
It turned out that Ye Feng's conjecture was correct.
Although Huang only told Aunt Cha and Fan, two close friends, these two told their little daughters-in-law, who had always been close to them, and these little daughters-in-law told their families.
In short, after a short while, almost everyone in Chenjia Village knew that the delicious immortal fruit just now was planted in the sandy land near Chen Jixing's house.
Although it has been harvested, there are still some scattered in the mud, which can be rummaged.
So, everyone immediately took hoes, bamboo baskets and other tools, and rushed towards the field.
Seeing the people squatting in the field or turning the ground with their hands or sticks, Huang felt the negative effects of the big mouth for the first time. If she had been quiet, almost all the immortal fruits in this field would have been hers.
Moreover, compared with people like Fan and Aunt Cha who are used to working in the fields, the Huang family is simply too weak.
When Aunt Cha screamed and announced that she had found the longevity fruit, the Fan family also found it, and the Huang family still had no harvest.
If you want to talk about the difference, it is that Fan and Aunt Cha are turning over the place where they pull peanuts, while Huang is aimless, and when he hears someone shouting that he has found it, he runs over to join in the fun to see if he can pick up the leak.
Later, Aunt Cha, who didn't know how to summon her family, had two sons joining, and with a hoe, the efficiency was greatly improved, and the Fan family didn't know where to borrow a hoe.
In short, before dark, they and a group of crazy people turned over the eight points of land, and naturally, they also stepped on it.
When Ye Feng and the others came to this land after dinner, they were directly startled by the scene in front of them. It was as if the land had just been calamated, a pile of dirt here, a pit there, either trampled to a solid end, or a lot of branches, leaves, and peanut seedlings were thrown away.
In this way, winter wheat will soon be planted, and you can only spend money to plow the land. The current state of this land is no longer suitable for manpower to plough, and it is really impossible to step on.
However, compared to Chen Jixing's crying and laughing, Aunt Cha and Fan's were happy, after an afternoon of madness, Fan's planed out about two catties of longevity, and Aunt Cha's family picked up about three catties due to the large number of people.
Looking at the greedy child and Xianggong, the two women were ruthless, one gave a few, and then they didn't let go.
It's okay for adults to say, but children are not so easy to get rid of, and they have been staring at them with resentful eyes. In the end, the two were able to get out after promising to exchange money for food and entertainment and other humiliating conditions.
I have to say that these two women are simply too business-minded. didn't tell the Huang family, early the next morning, the two of them didn't care about breakfast, and they were reluctant to take an ox cart, so they went straight to the city with peanuts.
While walking, Aunt Cha Wu said: "It's still a sister, you think thoughtfully, didn't the village chief say it, that Liuyunxuan wants to accept this thing." Let's sell it to him now, and don't we make much money for a few taels of silver? ”
Fan said proudly: "That's." Obediently, such a little will cost three taels of silver, even if it is delicious, I am reluctant. It's better to exchange a few taels of silver, take out one or two to buy meat to eat, and you can eat it for a long time. ”
"What if people don't buy it?" Aunt Cha Wu Fu was worried again, afraid to go in vain.
Hearing this, Fan Shi said with disdain: "That's why I said that you are a person who has no plans in your heart." Even if we can't sell it, we still take it home, boil it in clean water, and keep the family happy. But if it's really changed for silver, then we also have an entry. ”
Aunt Cha Wu thought about it, and it was indeed the truth, anyway, this is a business without capital, no matter what, it is not a loss.
But I heard Fan complain again: "It's not me who said you, you still have to pull up Sister Huang." Her man is now working in the Yaya Township Kitchen, and he gets silver every month, which is not something we can compare. As soon as her sister-in-law goes out, she will divide the family and live better than the two of us. And Chen Jixing is her uncle, how can there be any reason not to take care of her. ”
Hearing this, Aunt Zha Wu seemed to have come to her senses and said, "Sister, you're right, I was a little confused just now. With her temperament, if the two of us really exchanged money, she would definitely say that it was thanks to her that we had this opportunity or something, and when the time came, we would have to share a little bit of her. Speaking of which, she is really good enough to pick the door, and has never invited me to eat anything. Last time, when my family sold pigs, she followed me to the city, and I invited her to eat a bowl of noodles. It's really that the more money you have, the more you pick the door. ”
Why do people want to invite you to dinner, Fan said in his heart, but what he said was: "Yes, her family now has a fixed income, and it is bound to be farther and farther away from the two of us." You only look at the Zhu family, can you still ignore us now? If you had changed before, you would have seen me, and you would have been a sister Fan. It's good now, as if we're in a hurry to draw a line. ”
Fan's words are justified.
The Zhu family is now busy every day, either cooking or preparing ingredients, or it is work in the field, so naturally there is no such thing as before. And the Zhu family must have saved a lot of silver when they chose to do so, and when they split up, the new house will be built immediately.
When the time comes, the gap will only get bigger.
A few people who used to be good gradually developed suspicions.
Silver, sure enough, is the best watershed for the two families.
The two of you said a word, and told the deeds of the Huang family all over again, and also told the Zhu family by the way. Zhu didn't care, and I don't know how Huang would feel if he heard this conversation.
You know, she told everyone to dig through the ground to find peanuts.
When I arrived in the city, due to the early time, there were not many people now, but there were many early sellers. The unique aroma of fried dough sticks and baked cakes spread far and wide with the breeze, making the two people who were in a hurry panic in their stomachs. However, both of them held back and just swallowed desperately.
Until they saw the silver, they would never have paid for it.
Fortunately, the location of Liuyunxuan is good, right in the center of the city, very easy to find. Just asked the two people slightly, and the two came to Liuyun Xuan.
Looking at the high-spirited Liuyunxuan, Aunt Cha Wu flinched a little, she was not afraid of quarrels, what she was afraid of was the contempt in the eyes of the shopkeeper.
Fan didn't mind, so he pulled Aunt Cha and walked up directly.
If you know Fan's principles of life, you won't be so surprised.
Before leaving the cabinet, Fan's parents were ordinary rural people, but because they had land, they lived better than more than half of the villagers. When she was young, Fan's parents told her that the watershed between people and people is actually silver to put it bluntly.
Therefore, as long as you have the ability, don't care about other people's eyes at all. Because these perspectives are not permanent, they will change with your own value and status.
The contempt at this moment may be the next moment of stammering and greeting.
It just so happened that the shopkeeper standing at the door of the store at the moment was the second boy who greeted Ye Feng and Qianyan that day.
Since he bought back the Immortal Fruit, after a little calculation, Boss Wang knew that this business was a big profit, and he was even more afraid, if Ye Feng had turned his head and gone to Feihe Tower or Lingyun Tower, what would Liuyunxuan have been left behind by these two places of Immortal Fruit.
Thinking of this, I feel that this shop is indispensable, yesterday bought peanuts and came back immediately upgraded his level, increased the monthly money, he doesn't have to do anything in the future, just welcome customers at the door.
The shopkeeper's name is Feng Er, and he naturally knows the reason why he suddenly turned over, and he is also glad that he didn't snub Ye Feng and Qianyan that day because they were just two children.
Therefore, be more and more careful, smile when you meet people, meeting is fate, no matter rich or poor, all beings are equal to him.
Speaking of which, it's not easy for this little two, he has seven children in his family, he is the second, one sister at the top, and five younger siblings at the bottom.
The family originally relied on leased land to live, but accidentally did not have a family plan and gave birth to seven children, which made the family sad.
The eldest sister looks like she will be thirteen years old, but because of the younger brothers and sisters below, she doesn't dare to get married, because once she gets married, all the work in the family will fall on her elderly father.
Moreover, it is difficult for her to get married.
Naturally, if the conditions are good, they can't look down on her, even if they do, when they think of the burdens of her family, that little idea is completely dispelled.
To say that people in the poor era are actually more realistic, clothing, food, and supporting a family are always the first place. People always say that women are realistic when they go on a blind date, but in fact, men are not bad.
It's really hard to say who is more realistic.
In short, Feng Er's sister has told herself more than once in her heart that if she doesn't marry in this life, she will serve a few younger brothers and sisters at home to start a family. As for herself, if her younger siblings have a conscience, they will naturally support her when they are old.
If she didn't have a conscience to dislike her, she went to live in a nunnery.
Seeing that a guest came to the door, Feng Er immediately showed a smile - in fact, he knew in his heart that this was not a guest at all, and it didn't look like Fan and Huang were coming to eat.
Although Ye Feng and Qianyan were young, they were not so cringe-inducing.
Seeing Feng Er smiling at herself, Aunt Cha's heart that had been hanging was finally a little easier, but Fan didn't care at all, and said to Feng Er with a smile: "Little second brother has worked hard, he got up so early." By the way, is it okay for my aunt to ask you about something? You can rest assured, it won't delay you much. ”
I don't know why, Fan's attitude made Feng Er think of his mother. It's just that his mother is far from being as cool as Fan's, eternally humble, always keeping her head down, as if she can't stand the pressure of life.
The reason why he thought of his mother was because she smiled like Fan's, so warm and humble.
Thinking of this, Feng Er put away his professional smile, and instead smiled from the bottom of his heart and said to Fan, "Where is the aunt." I eat and live here, and that's what I do, and I should get up early. But you came on foot, right? If there is anything my aunt asks, I will say everything. ”
The straw sandals worn by the villagers of Chenjia Village are the most commonly worn by the villagers of Chenjia Village in summer. These shoes are very simple, they are made of the most common thatch by the lake, and the most popular ones are those who work, and if they are dirty and rotten, they will be thrown away.
Hearing this, Aunt Zha Wu subconsciously looked at her feet, and suddenly there was something called self-shame spreading in her heart. She is also a woman, and she also loves beauty.
Why can Da Niu Ma and Ye Ermei dress so neatly, she should dress up like this? Now, even the widowed Zhao family looks full of energy, and even bought a silver bracelet.
Where is like her, in addition to working in the fields every day, she also has to take care of her two sons and her husband's food, drink, and Lazar. I'm busy all day, tired and half dead, where is I in the mood to care about what I look like.
Fan didn't care about that, she only cared about her own affairs.
Seeing that Feng Er was so enthusiastic and easy to speak, he said directly: "We are from Chenjia Village." As you know, we planted a piece of land with everlasting fruits, but we harvested them all for seeds. But there was something missing in the field, so we went and picked it up. I heard that the village chief said that you need it here, so we came to ask, and asked the little second brother to help ask your host. ”
After listening to Fan's words, Feng Er immediately understood that the two people in front of him were actually here to sell the Immortal Fruit.
Therefore, he was excited, so he said everything he shouldn't say: "My aunt is from Chenjia Village." We're buying the Longevity Fruit here, and we'll have as much as you want! By the way, how many do you have? ”
He had heard Boss Wang and Zhao Da sighing there more than once last night, and there was only one reason, that is, although these elixirs were precious, they were too few to sell for a few months. The next batch will have to wait until a year later.
Now someone actually came to the door to sell, and it was really sleepy and met a pillow. If you make another contribution, wouldn't you be able to continue to increase your monthly money? In this way, you can also take home more money.
It's a pity that the Fan family and Aunt Cha are destined to disappoint Feng Er this time.
As soon as the two of them heard that they had found the right place, they were both excited in their hearts, and Aunt Cha Wu said directly: "We add up to more than five catties." ”
Hearing this, Feng Er was really a little disappointed, but he didn't show it, but said: "Then bother the two aunts to wait here, I'll go and tell our shopkeeper to know." ”
Seeing that Feng Er was about to leave, Fan blurted out: "Little second brother, please stay, I want to ask, how much silver does this immortal fruit sell for?" Although it is small, it is also the aunt who spent an afternoon digging in the mud. Hey, I can't open the pot at home, so I want to exchange more money to buy some food. ”
Fan's words immediately softened Feng Er's heart again, and he thought of the scene when his mother came to the pawnshop in the city with the only valuable silver bracelet in the family, which her old man had worn for half her life, to buy food.
So, he turned to Fan and said, "I don't know how much a pound is, it's just that I secretly heard from the shopkeeper that it was probably ...... Five taels of silver is about a catty. ”
In fact, he heard it clearly, and it would be sold for ten taels of silver and a catty. It's just that he doesn't dare to tell the truth, because he doesn't dare to be 100% sure.
This is actually very good, I think that at the beginning, when he and his mother went to be silver bracelets, there was no one to help.
After speaking, Feng Er went into the store to report.
As soon as Feng Eryi left, Fan immediately grinned: "It's okay now, it's okay now, I know that our efforts are not in vain." Five taels of silver a catty, then I can exchange it for ten taels of silver here. ”
As he spoke, he put the small pile of peanuts on his chest, like a treasure.
Aunt Cha Wu said with some annoyance: "It's still your child who is obedient, my two bastards, I stole a few while I wasn't paying attention, and I don't know if there are three catties." How do they know that if they eat one less, they may be able to exchange for a pound of thick noodles. ”
Zhao Da was discussing the dishes and banquet with Boss Wang.
Ye Feng meant that he wanted him to hold a grand banquet and invite all the celebrities and nobles in the city, called the Immortal Fruit Banquet. It's a really good idea, and it's the best way to maximize awareness.
It's just that in this way, there are a lot of details to consider. The two discussed for a long time, but they had no clue.
Seeing this, Zhao Daben said: "Anyway, in a few days, Junior Brother Ye will come over to teach us how to make fried longevity fruits, and ask his opinion when the time comes." Since he came up with the idea, maybe it will work wonders. ”
Boss Wang said: "That's the reason, since he knows this method, maybe he knows how to do it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Feng Er come in.
Seeing this, Zhao Daben said: "You kid, you didn't greet guests at the door, but ran in, is there something wrong?" He knew that Boss Wang valued this kid very much now, so his tone of voice was much better.
Hearing this, Feng Er hurriedly said: "The owner, the shopkeeper, there are two aunts outside, who said that they came from Chenjia Village, and they scavenged about five catties of longevity fruit in the longevity fruit field, and asked if we would accept it!" ”
When Boss Wang heard this, he immediately said: "Accept it, why don't you accept it, even if it's a catty, I want it." Then you take the money and collect it quickly. ”
Just kidding, mosquito meat is also meat, what about five catties, according to Ye Feng, this may be the sales volume in the next two or three days. In any case, this cannot be discovered by other restaurants.
Zhao Da hurriedly walked to the counter and picked up the small scale, and followed Feng Er out.
Feng Er walked in front and made a color at Fan.
Fan Shi saw the shopkeeper smiling at himself, and saw a dignified-looking man with a goatee behind him, the key is that he was still holding a scale in his hand, and he immediately understood in his heart that this was done, and he was immediately happy.
Seeing Fan and Aunt Cha, Zhao said, "Is this really dug out of the land in Chenjia Village?" ”
For the only immortal fruit in the world, Zhao Da was a little helpless, to say that ten taels of silver a pound is really too expensive.
Aunt Cha immediately answered: "This is the shopkeeper, right?" We didn't coax you. Yesterday, our village chief informed us that next year our Chenjia Village will be planted in a big way. This is the best quality seed. Don't look too little, but we dug the ground all afternoon and turned over the ground to get it. That's all for this year. ”
Speaking of playing tricks, Aunt Cha is naturally the most slippery.
Zhao Da just fantasized that these longevity fruits were also available elsewhere, but he was unexpectedly robbed by Aunt Cha. But he wasn't annoyed, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll buy them all." Can I take a look first? ”
Fan and Aunt Cha naturally didn't have any problems.
After checking it, Zhao Daben said: "It is indeed a real longevity fruit, but there is too much mud, so let's do it, six taels of silver a catty, do you think it's okay?" You see, there is too much mud, and it stands to reason that it should be washed and weighed. ”
He wanted to say this yesterday, but Ye Feng didn't seem to be willing, and Boss Wang pretended not to know, so he couldn't help it. If Ye Feng was unhappy because he brought it up, it would be troublesome to sell it to others.
If you take 10,000 steps back and think about it, even if it is washed, the water is not necessarily more cost-effective than the mud. After washing it, Ye Feng will definitely increase the price.
Hearing this, Aunt Cha was excited for a while, and was about to admit it, but Fan pinched her without a trace, and then said: "There is mud to indicate freshness." Shopkeeper, we can count on selling this longevity fruit to buy rice for the pot. You can do it, how about eight taels and one pound? This year, it's just this time, but not again. ”
Zhao Da originally just wanted to kill the bargain, according to Boss Wang's meaning, it must be ten taels and one catties, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then seven taels, no more." ”
Aunt Cha Wu saw that Fan's price increase failed, but she was actually very happy in her heart, and she had one or two more in vain, so she pretended to have a painful face and said: "Okay, seven taels is seven taels, but you have to weigh this scale, you can't lie to us." ”
Fan hurriedly said: "Look at what you said, the shopkeeper has seen the world, how can he afford to look at these little money." ”
Zhao Da didn't speak, Fan and Aunt Cha sang and harmonized, just to sell a little more silver, he was also from the countryside, so he naturally understood. So, three times five divided by two over the scale.
Fan's is almost two catties and five taels, and he gets seventeen taels and two hundred taels of silver. Check the fifth aunt's just three catties, and get twenty-one taels of silver.
The two who got the silver were as happy as something, and the joy in their hearts was tantamount to making a windfall. After thinking about it, Fan insisted on giving the two hundred Wen to Feng Er, and then pulled Aunt Cha Wu away.
Seeing the happy appearance of the two, Feng Er was also happy for the two of them in his heart. If only his mother could have that courage. Just now seeing the two of them bargaining with Zhao's shopkeeper, he was very nervous.
Now seeing that the two of them actually succeeded, they looked like they were honored, and wiped the corners of their eyes.
Boss Wang received a few catties of immortal fruit, and was on the rise, when he saw Feng Er wiping the corners of his eyes, he only saw that his eyes were red, so he asked, "Feng Er, what's wrong with you?" ”
Feng Er unexpectedly saw his subconscious actions by the owner, and hurriedly said: "I'm happy for the two of them, I guess I'm going to buy meat and rice at this time." ”
Boss Wang said: "Speaking of which, today's incident is also thanks to you." Take it, this is a tael of silver, and in the future, be more diligent and invite more guests to come in. ”
After saying that, he threw away a tael of silver and went to the roof to see the dried elders.
Feng Er took the silver thrown by Boss Wang, and didn't know what to say for a while. Could it be that he Feng Er is going to start getting lucky?
Thinking of this, I hurriedly went back to the room and took out all the monthly money last month and the silver I just got, and prepared to ask someone to bring it back.
And the Fan family and Aunt Cha are even happier, with the silver, they are full of confidence. First, I walked around the streets, bought a few pieces of cloth, and prepared to take them home to make a pullover for each of them.
Finally, he went to the bazaar to buy some meat and rice and noodles.
In this regard, Aunt Cha Wu was also smart, and suddenly said: "Let's go, go to the horse butcher and buy it." I had heard the little widow say that they bought their cooking there, and that it was much cheaper than elsewhere. ”
Hearing this, Fan said, "That's it!" They buy a lot and buy diligently, and the horse butcher naturally wants to save face. It's just, if we are like this, will people buy it? ”
Aunt Cha Wu said: "Hey, what are you afraid of, look at me, let's go!" ”
When he arrived at the meat stall, the horse butcher saw Fan's family, and he was already crispy, and he heard the other party affectionately call him Brother Ma, and saw Aunt Cha Wu saying that they were the duck and duck village chefs and were not responsible for purchasing, so they didn't think about it, so they sold it to them according to the internal price.
With a few catties of meat in hand, the two women were as excited as if they had won a battle.
Immediately afterward, the two bought some white and coarse noodles. Thinking of the gluttonous children at home and the treaty they had promised before, they both bought some snacks again.
In the end, the two decided to go back to the village in a bullock cart.
The author has something to say: This chapter was written on an improvised basis, and it was never written to whitewash the Fan family and Aunt Cha. However, such people also have to live. I once knew a man who was very kind to everyone, but very willing to be very willing to his lover and family. In addition to character problems, Fan and Aunt Cha Wu can be regarded as belonging to this category of people. They are only willing to give for the people they love. As for the others, it is not within the scope of their devotion.
