Chapter 81: Red Coral
Feng Hua's heart skipped a beat, for this civilian-like price, and for the reality of this person. If this is Zhao Yong, he won't be able to tell the truth if he is killed! At most, he said that he would receive 80 pounds.
"Uncle, you give a real price, what price do you usually sell? Don't fool me. "Although people charge 5 yuan, in this environment, it is impossible for him to sell it cheaply.
"If you sell it, it's 50 pounds, the lowest price. In exchange, 15 catties of corn for one catty, and 10 catties of rice and white flour for one catty. Everything else will work, but I'll have to take a look. ”
Bartering is still popular in the grassland, in fact, most of his things are bartered, and the people who give money directly are not willing to do so, because the herdsmen who give money have no place to spend it.
They don't like to collect money.
Feng Hua frowned when he heard this price, this is a big difference from the outside. She can sell more than 200 catties of 15 catties, and 500 catties of rice and white flour for 10 catties!
"Uncle, how do you sell this grain?"
Alatan Cang said a few kinds, almost all of them are about 5 yuan a catty.
Feng Hua was a little surprised, why is it so cheap?
Alatan Cang also seemed to know the price of grain outside, and sighed: "It's better for us to be here, the country has a lot of rations." I heard that you have 3 taels of grain per person a day? Oh my God, you can't shake when you walk? It's better to be a herdsman, and it's okay not to give food. ”
Feng Hua also reflected that the staple food of pure herdsmen is beef and mutton and dairy products, and the grain is auxiliary, and for the sake of national unity, enough rations and livestock for herdsmen will be left every year.
Therefore, the price of grain here is relatively low, and this is because the agricultural area, like other rural areas, is farming to earn labor, eating grain and vegetables, and it is estimated that the further in, the lower the grain price.
Feng Hua looked at the package containing beef jerky, it was not very big, and it was only more than 20 catties.
Alatan Cang probably understood her eyes, and said, "People outside can't afford it, I have to sell these for a long time, and if I'm not careful, I have to leave them to eat by myself." ”
...... "Then you dare to ask for 100 pounds!"
"I'll look at the others." Feng Hua said.
The Alatan warehouse directly carried 5 packages and opened them, all of which were dairy products. As soon as the package was opened, a rich milky aroma wafted out.
I took out everything and tasted it, it was different from what she had eaten before, it was very local, the taste was weird, it was not delicious at first, but the more I tasted it, the more I felt that it had a taste, and the aftertaste was endless.
After all, it is the food of a nation and is loved by countless people.
"How do you sell this?"
"10 yuan a catty, or no matter what kind of food, 2 catties for a catty." Alatan barn road.
This price is very similar to his ethnicity, so rough, not at all.
This is cheap, there are relatively more people who buy it, and even in agricultural areas, there are some Mongolian people, although they don't graze anymore, but their living habits can't be changed for a while, they can't afford to eat beef, and dairy products can still be eaten.
Moreover, there are very few milk powder factories now, and there are so many livestock on the grassland, and the dairy products produced are basically eaten by the herdsmen themselves and cannot be sold, so they are relatively cheaper. This is now, in previous years, it only cost two or three yuan a catty.
5 large bags, more than 100 pounds.
Feng Hua looked at the other things on the ground, and the most were bundles of felt.
The size of the felt varies, some are felt for yurts, some are used for yurt curtains, carpets.
Each one is very exquisite, because these things are not easy to sell now, so the herdsmen try to make them as beautiful as possible, hoping to sell them.
Seeing that Feng Hua was interested in these things, Alatan Cang was very happy, this Han teenager could like these things, which was an affirmation of his national culture.
Alatan Barn enthusiastically introduced the uses, methods, and prices of these felts. Although he felt that it was unlikely that the teenager would buy it. People don't live in yurts, what do you want felt?
As a result, Feng Hua said that she wanted it all!
It's not expensive, a 5-square-meter carpet costs 5 yuan! Two square meters of lying felt is only 2 yuan. Basically, 1 square meter is a dollar.
It's very good to make a carpet mattress or something in the future. And the warehouse is so big, Feng Hua is very uncomfortable every time he sees it empty, and he urgently needs something to fill it.
It's a pity that she doesn't like the things in the supply and marketing cooperative, and people still want tickets.
Now, Feng Hua feels that he may have come to the right place, and it seems that he can let go of shopping here.
Alatan looked at her stunned for a moment, but didn't react.
"There's a bag here, what's inside?" Feng Hua asked, pointing to the last unopened package.
"Oh, it's some jewelry." Alatan said and opened the package.
Mongolians have the habit of wearing jewelry. Men carry Mongolian knives, snuff bottles, wrenches, bracelets, belts. Women bring a lot of headwear, neck ornaments, hand ornaments, and waist ornaments.
Nomads do not accumulate all kinds of property like other peoples, they often accumulate property on women, that is, all kinds of ornaments on women.
And they like brightly colored jewelry, red coral, turquoise, old beeswax are the three most classic.
Feng Hua looked at the package, it was indeed all this kind of jewelry. The red corals are large or small, made into headdresses and necklaces.
But the smallest beads are more than 15 mm in diameter, and the largest is as big as a duck egg...... A large string of necklaces made of more than 30 duck eggs, red coral and yellow beeswax, Feng Hua felt that his neck hurt when he saw it.
Seeing that he had been staring at the largest string, Alatan Cang said: "Young man has good eyesight, this is what I collected from a herdsman's family, his ancestors are of a big family, and it is said that he is related to our Great Khan, you know what the Great Khan is, right?" Genghis Khan? ”
Feng Hua nodded.
"The lad is cultured! We are a great khan...... "Alatan Cang excitedly gave this Han child another science popularization of previous khans, and finally turned back to this necklace.
"Uncle will tell you the truth, I don't know if the ancestors of this family are nobles, but this chain looks like nobles! This look is the thing of the court, and it is rewarded from above, and ordinary people cannot afford this specification. ”
Alatan Cang gave Feng Hua another science popularization of what grade of jewelry to wear, what kind of jewelry was worn by nobles, and what kind of jewelry was worn by commoners. It's the truth, it's like the truth.
I didn't understand this Feng Hua before, but now he naturally says what he is. She only cares about the same.
"How much?"
"This string is a big 5,000 pieces."
“..... Uncle, whenever I think you are very real, you subvert my cognition. ”
In his previous life, Feng Hua didn't like jewelry very much, and felt that it was flashy, and the limited few pieces of jewelry were bought for investment appreciation.
She also learned about red coral, and felt that the water was too deep, ranging from dozens to tens of thousands of dollars a gram. The good ones are expensive, and the cheap ones are stall prices. And in her opinion, it was just a few points of color difference.
She would never buy something like this, and she was middle-aged at the time, and she didn't like bright red very much.
But according to the information she knew, the price of red coral does not depend on its age, but only on its color.
