6 First arrival in the county seat
Little Joe, it's time to get up."
The next day, before dawn, Luo Xiaoqiao was woken up by her sister.
If you want to go to the county seat today, you have to cross three villages, the distance is really not close, I don't know when the county market will disperse, they still go early.
Grandma Luo brought the steamed buns brought by Aunt Huang and them yesterday to Grandpa Luo and Luo Xiaoqiao, and let them eat them on the way.
The two of them walked all the way, and Xiao Qiao asked all the way: "Grandpa, are there many rich people now?" "You have to inquire about the audience's affordability before you can price yourself.
"Our place is the fief of King Jing, the border of our Great Chu, and it can be regarded as a bitter cold place. But if you want to talk about rich people, there are indeed a lot of them. ”
Grandpa Luo said slowly as he walked: "There are many people in our village who work long hours for large families, and I heard that some old people's families eat white rice, and they have to eat more than a dozen dishes every time. ”
Luo Xiaoqiao is a little happy, Grandpa Luo is a village man with limited knowledge, and the rich people in his mind are probably limited to eating enough for every meal, and eating things they can't even think of.
She remembered that in her previous life, someone said that when she has money in the future, she will buy two steamed buns at a meal, and she wants to dip it in white sugar and dip it in white sugar, and she wants to dip it in brown sugar and dip it in brown sugar...
"Grandpa, how much does a bundle of firewood cost? How much is a pound of beans? How much is a pound of rice? ”
Grandpa Luo guessed her thoughts and groaned: "A bundle of firewood is twenty catties, about three copper plates, ten copper plates per catty of rice, and two copper plates for one catty of soybeans." ”
Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it, it was really cheap.
"Grandpa, when I arrived at the market today, I was asked to say, okay?"
Luo Xiaoqiao was a little embarrassed and asked his grandfather not to speak, I don't know if he would think about it. But what she plans for today is very big, and she is really afraid that her grandfather's mood will be bad.
You must know that although Grandpa Luo is so old, he has never dealt with people outside the land all his life, and he has always been digging in the field, and he pays attention to the honesty and honesty of the villagers. It can almost be said that I have never seen big money. Luo Xiaoqiao was really worried about him.
"Where are you going to sell these?" Grandpa Luo watched her panting so much, stopped to sit and rest, and asked while resting.
"Let's go and see first, if there are many rich people in the market, let's set up a stall, if the market is full of ordinary people, let's go to the store to have a look."
Grandpa Luo was stunned when he heard this, he never had the idea of going to the store to have a look, let alone going, he didn't dare to think about it. The high-end decoration in the store, I feel that people are pressed into the mud for no reason, and I feel inferior.
"How much are you going to sell?" Grandpa Luo asked contemplatively.
"Grandpa, I really didn't think about this, but the worst thing is that we put it in the market and exchange it for a few catties of rice." Luo Xiaoqiao said with a frown. "The ideal state is to find a big customer and win long-term orders."
Luo Xiaoqiao doesn't have much confidence in the latter, mainly because she doesn't know much about the people here. Take it one step at a time.
"Alright, let's move on." Grandpa Luo thought that even if he could only exchange rice, it would be better than going to the field at home, so he happily agreed.
When the two hurried to the bazaar, the sky had begun to dawn, the common people were hard-working people, and the bazaar had already begun to be lively.
There was the breakfast stall owner, who brought out bowls of noodles, steaming hot, and the fragrance went straight to his nose.
"Noodles, delicious and strong noodles, a bowl for a penny."
Grandpa Luo took out the steamed buns in his arms and handed one to Luo Xiaoqiao, and the two didn't say anything, just ate the fragrance of the noodles.
The bazaar is two streets, one south and one north, and there are a lot of people, but they are generally dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and many of them are patched, and they are not rich people.
Most of the people in the market sell grain, rice, noodles and vegetables, and there are also large families who come out to buy them, but they also go for these.
Occasionally, there are those who sell rouge gouache and sugar gourds, which are considered extremely luxurious, and few people patronize them. After looking around, Luo Xiaoqiao roughly counted.
The market stalls can basically be ruled out, so there are two ways left, one is to take the initiative to ask the shops next to it, and the other is to go to the places where the rich live to set up stalls.
But the second one, she doesn't want to choose for the time being, not to mention their common people, people are soft-spoken, in case someone is cheated in a no-man's place, no one will help her.
The grocery store on the street is a good place to go.
Luo Xiaoqiao straightened her hair. got up early for this possibility, and deliberately asked Luo Xiaoni to help her lose a very energetic hairstyle, and her delicate little face revealed the simplicity of a peasant girl, but it did not look childish.
I have to say that Luo Xiaoni's skills are really good.
But Luo Xiaoqiao was a little too optimistic, and they went in and looked at the shops along the street, trying to find a reliable collaborator. Xingcheng is so big and there are so many stores, how to choose it must be carefully compared before making a decision.
But it's a good idea, but it's not easy to do, a slightly better store, seeing the two of them wearing, seeing that they don't buy things but come to sell, they are immediately "invited" out.
Worse, Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't look down on it, and after walking for a long time, he was tired and thirsty, and he was a little frozen there.
Luo Xiaoqiao couldn't bear to look at Grandpa Luo's disappointed look, there were only two left on this street, the closest one to them was called Wan Juheng, the name is quite atmospheric, gathering all things and long-term meaning, the decoration is very elegant, and there is a neatly dressed Xiao Er at the door.
There is a little farther away, called Dafengfang, which is a little old in appearance, but with Grandpa Luo's mentality, going to that house will make him relatively confident.
Luo Xiaoqiao sighed, then let's go to Dafengfang first.
As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper raised his head from behind the counter, and when he saw them, he immediately shrank back.
Luo Xiaoqiao glanced at this store, it was no different from a department store, there were all kinds of pots and pans, and there were so many exquisite utensils, all of which were placed at random, and they didn't look of any grade.
She shook her head secretly, but still asked a few words: "Shopkeeper, do you collect rare things?" ”。
The shopkeeper did not blast them out directly like the others, but responded listlessly: "Close", and at the same time crackled the abacus, waiting for them to step forward.
Luo Xiaoqiao took out the roller from his grandfather's back basket and put it on the counter in front of the shopkeeper: "Look, can you give me an estimate?" ”
After the shopkeeper saw the wheel, his eyes instantly lit up, and the person became enthusiastic: "Ouch, two guest officers, let's sit and talk, sit and talk." ”
Grandpa Luo was a little unaccustomed to his change, and Luo Xiaoqiao generously dragged his grandfather to sit down: "Boss, how about you give me an estimate?" ”。
The shopkeeper stroked his mustache and asked, "Is this the only one we have, or can we do it in batches?" ”
"Only one, what do you say? What about batch? ”
"If there is only one word, I will give it a tael of silver." , the shopkeeper has a fine light in his eyes.
"We also all know that scarcity is expensive, and if you do it in batches, the price will definitely come down later, after all, the number of guests is limited. So I hope that we both sign an agreement, I will receive it for a long time, no matter how much, thirty dollars a piece, this first one, how about still giving one or two silver? ”
"Heh......", Luo Xiaoqiao smiled, the shopkeeper is really shrewd enough, if there is only this one, this is the only one in the market, only he has here, there are many rich people in the city, one day you can find a big customer, one or two silver will not be lost.
If they do it in batches, they have a long-term source of income, but each profit is not high, and they can only earn some hard-earned money. The shopkeeper is really very shrewd.
