Chapter 30: Helping each other
Su Heting nodded, "In this way, I will be relieved." ”
Master Feng was very puzzled, "Proprietor, is it ......?"
"Don't make unwarranted guesses," Su Heting waved his hand, "You just need to answer truthfully." ”
Master Feng is an honest man, so he really doesn't ask any more.
Before leaving, Su Heting gave him a few fruits and advised: "If you have the opportunity, you can ask others if there is such an auspicious fruit, whether they will buy it." ”
After thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate, and shook his head again, "That's it, don't ask." ”
Master Feng was confused and wanted to ask again, but seeing the look on his owner's face that he didn't want to talk about, he had to dispel his thoughts, but this matter was also taken to heart by him.
Prunes ripen slightly earlier than pears, but they are more difficult to preserve, so after three days of continuous picking, Yuan Ning and Bo Zhong took an ox cart into the city to sell fruit.
They specially brought two large baskets containing plums with and without auspicious patterns, and more than a dozen small baskets woven from sorghum straw for the guests to use for fruits.
They chose to set up their stalls on the street not too far from the county office.
The number of vendors here is relatively small, but it is relatively close to the city's famous and influential settlements.
Yuan Ning specifically aimed at Master Feng, and as soon as he saw the more familiar face of the servant, he asked him to call out Master Feng, and specially selected some plums with auspicious patterns and put them in a small basket and gave them to him, "Master Feng, you have helped us a lot in the past, we can't repay it, this is the fruit picked in our own fruit forest, you try it, it is different from what others bought." ”
Master Feng was originally going to refuse, but as soon as he saw the pattern on the plum, he didn't say anything when it came to his mouth, but his eyebrows were raised high, "This is what you knotted in your own field?" ”
"Yes, yes," Yuan Ning replied with a smile, "Because these fruits have good meanings, I specially give them to you to try." Well, the taste is certainly not bad either. ”
Master Feng agreed with a smile and asked, "How are you going to sell this fruit?" ”
Yuan Ning smiled and waved his hand: "This is filial piety to you, how can I ask you for money!" ”
"You tell me the price, and if someone asks, I'll tell them." Master Feng said.
"Just tell them to come here and find me!" Yuan Ning smiled, "I promise to be cheaper for your sake." ”
I didn't say how much it would cost to sell.
Master Feng didn't want to keep asking, so he took the things and said goodbye to her with a smile, and went back to the yamen.
There were quite a few of his colleagues, and when they saw him come in with a small basket, they couldn't help but ask what it was.
So he lifted up the basket and showed the fruit that was in it.
This plum is bigger than the one sold outside, and it is slightly lighter in color, but the words that appear on it are really ...... There are "blessings", "longevity" and "wealth", which is something that has never been seen before, and such fruits will indeed make people feel comfortable when they eat them!
Everyone asked where they bought it from, and Master Feng told him truthfully, and explained: "I still know the sister and brother who sell the fruit, and they have said that if you mention that Master Feng introduced them, it will be cheaper for you." ”
The surname of the criminal master is Sun, and Master Sun smiled: "Then I want to go and see, my mother always says that her right eyelid keeps jumping these days and she doesn't know what disaster is going to happen, and it's good to settle down for her." ”
As soon as he said this, the county Cheng and others also got up one after another to see the excitement.
Yuan Ning took Bo Zhong to set up a stall here, but it was not that no one came to ask the price, but he was scared away as soon as he asked, so the few stalls had income, but they were deserted here, standing for a long time, and they didn't even have a penny of income.
Bo Zhong discussed with Yuan Ning in a whisper: "Eldest sister, why don't we drop the price down?" You see, it's not too early at this hour, don't wait until it gets dark, we won't be able to sell a single fruit......"
Yuan Ning was very optimistic, nodded his head and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I just taught you a few words?" I'll write you a few words later, and you can circle everything you know and tell me what it means. ”
Bo Zhong's attention was diverted, and he was no longer worried.
Not long after, a group of people came out of the yamen, and the vendors who set up stalls were startled, they actually came here to set up stalls without official permission, but fortunately, they often came here, and they were familiar with their faces, and they were not expelled.
But as soon as they saw so many people coming out, they were a little uncertain.
There are two baskets of plums on Yuan Ning's side, behind him, with two large baskets in front of him, and a bunch of small baskets at his feet, Bo Zhong is practicing calligraphy in the open space behind her, and when he hears the sound of talking, he raises his head, and the little guy is so frightened that he swallows his saliva, and his face is a little pale, and he doesn't know how to react.
As Yuan Ning, who had been received by the leader, of course he would not be stunned, and when he saw the other party walking straight towards him, he raised a bright smile at them.
Her clothes were in tatters, her small face was black and yellow, and she knew that she was from a poor background, but this smile was as warm as the sun.
A few people stepped forward to look at the plums in the two big baskets on the ground and asked, "Little sister, how did you sell these plums?" ”
"Five pennies a piece!" Yuan Ning stretched out a slap and compared.
Several people gasped, "Little girl, you ...... The asking price is too harsh, right? What kind of fruit is worth five cents a piece? ”
Yuan Ning stretched out his hand and took out a plum with the word "Fu" on it, and held it up to them, "Ladies and gentlemen, take a look, I won't say that my plum tastes bigger than other people's houses, just look at the words on it, go all over the country, and make sure you can't find a second one!"
"With the unique strength in this world, I sell it for five cents cheaply! And, you see, the words on the top are not engraved, and they do no harm to the fruit itself, which is very rare! ”
Everyone took the plum pass and looked at it, and Master Sun said: "We were introduced by Master Feng, can it be considered cheaper?" ”
"Ahh That's right! Yuan Ning pretended to be surprised, "Master Feng is kind to us, since you were introduced by Master Feng, then I didn't say it, it must be cheaper, I'll give you four cents a success?"
"This master, don't think I'm stingy, it's not easy for us countrymen to make money, we can cultivate such a good fruit, and the hard work we pay is not something you can imagine."
Master Sun smiled, "You little girl is quite good at talking!" Well, what auspicious meaning do you have here? ”
"Fortune and longevity, good fortune, good luck, longevity, great ambitions, and step by step, there are all there."
