Chapter 459: Persimmon
Therefore, ordinary people do not have ox carts, and donkey carts are a group of people standing at the intersection to sell things, hoping that passers-by will buy them.
Not far away, there is a tea shed where you can rest, and the foot merchants who pass by will occasionally stop to drink tea or something, because the continuous mountains not far away are the boundaries of another town.
Not far from the foot of the hill is an inn where foot traders can stay.
Seeing that the mountain is close to here, it will actually be a long way away.
Xia Zining asked the coachman to slow down, and approached the stall of the group on the side of the road to see what was sold, and the coachman nodded, and got closer to the roadside.
Xia Zining looked at the row of sellers, and they took a fancy to a few fruits.
It was to ask the driver to stop and go over and look at the persimmons.
There are persimmons sold here, but there is no market in the town.
"Girl, do you want this fruit?" The young man who sells persimmons asked very politely.
"How do you sell it?" Xia Zining asked.
"This... 15 hanging money a pound. The young man said tentatively.
"So cheap?" Xia Zining was stunned, apples and pears were bought in the town market for 20-30 hangings, persimmons are so cheap? "I want both of yours."
"Huh? Oops..." The young man paused for a moment, and nodded with great joy at the moment, "Girl, I will call you now." ”。
Xia Zining nodded, and after the young man weighed, two baskets of twenty catties.
Xia Zining asked the young man to help her get persimmons into the carriage, and then, Xia Zining paid the silver.
The young man was very excited to take the silver, and he was still unsure, and when he saw that she was about to get into the car, he suddenly said urgently, "Girl, this fruit is a little astringent... You·· You buy so much·· Do you really like to eat? He was also so poor that he couldn't do it, he went to the mountains to pick this yellow fruit and tried to sell it, he and the people in the village knew that this thing was very astringent, not delicious at all, no one liked to eat, but the days were poor, or picked to see...
Unexpectedly, there are really people willing to buy...
"Astringent? You're not going to eat like that, are you? Xia Zining looked at him stunned, seeing that he was embarrassed and embarrassed, and he was afraid that she wouldn't want it, Xia Zining felt funny, "What kind of fruit is this, you don't know it, right?" ”
When the words fell, I saw the young man blushing.
Xia Zining was amused when she saw it, and said, "This is a persimmon, and it is also a fruit, you can pick it when the fruit is yellowish-orange or red, that is, it is picked now, but this fruit is not eaten like this, it has to be put for a while, and it is slightly hard to hold it in your hand, and after feeling that the persimmon is a lot softer, the skin is easy to sow and you can eat it after it is opened, and the core inside is not edible." ”
After hearing this, the young man immediately thanked Xia Zining happily, otherwise he would not have known this.
"When ripe, if the persimmon is good, but it has a lot of moisture and is sweet, you can sell it at the same price as other fruits." Xia Zining said with a smile, seeing that the young man was wearing patched clothes and broken shoes, Xia Zining said casually, and reminded him to help.
"Thank you, girl." The young man was grateful.
"You're welcome." Xia Zining said a word and got into the car.
The carriage went forward again, went to the tea shed in front to stop, and also called the coachman to drink a cup of tea together.
In the car, I took out a few fruits of longan bought in the town and put them on the table, and ate them by the way to see the scenery.
The coachman was restrained, and Xiaoqing didn't eat, so only Xia Zining enjoyed it leisurely, chatting with an old couple in the tea shed by the way.
The old couple has been doing business in this tea shed for more than ten years, just in the village not far ahead.
Xia Zining chatted with the two, and the two elders talked about the harvest in the village, and the young people have been looking for jobs everywhere recently.
