Lu Caiqing listened and discussed with Song Ziyu for a while, and then said to Lin Huaijin: "Since they are all sold, it is the same to sell them to anyone, and you will save me money by collecting them." ”

"Then in that case, let's follow the rules, can you estimate how much you will sell me?" As soon as Lin Huaijin talked about business, he immediately became cautious and put away his cynical attitude.

Lu Caiqing said: "Let me calculate this, sweet potatoes are planted about two acres of land, and the yield per mu is calculated according to the yield of 1,200 catties, and the yield per mu should be 2,400 catties per mu, and I leave 400 catties as seedlings, which can be sold for 2,000 catties. (One tael of silver is equal to one thousand pennies)"

Song Ziyu listened to his words and said in surprise: "Daughter-in-law? Why is this sweet potato so valuable? I see that people can't eat enough after planting a few acres of land, so our family will catch up with other people's families by planting these two acres of land. ”

"Of course! This is still the first year, and once I am familiar with its growth and habits, we will plant sweet potatoes on the land for the Chinese New Year, and maybe the yield will be even higher. Lu Caiqing said confidently.

Lin Huaijin also understood the price she calculated, and said happily: "This sweet potato is a rare species, I don't sell these two thousand catties, go back and give it to a friend in the capital to taste it, since it is rare, then there must be a strange price, I will collect it according to ten cents and one catty, which is equivalent to twenty taels of silver." Our brothers settle accounts, how about an old rule? ”

"What's the old rule?" Song Ziyu felt that they were both crazy when he heard it, five cents were expensive enough, and pork was only fifteen cents, he actually bought a pound of sweet potatoes and gave ten cents, this is money and nowhere to spend, why is the little daughter-in-law not kind? can't rely on people to have a good impression of her to cheat other people's money.

He wanted to stretch out his hand to pull Lu Caiqing, which meant that he couldn't let the family spend a lot of money, Lu Caiqing patted his hand and said, "Don't worry, Brother Song!" Since he is giving away, there is no distinction between high and low, what he gives is a heart. All right! Just follow the old rules, and you can decide the rest! ”

"Good! Then we will sign an agreement, and I will go to your Chenjia Village to buy sweet potatoes after the autumn, and the deposit will be paid in advance for ten taels. Lin Huaijin said in style.

The two reached an agreement, Lin Huaijin paid the deposit, and then left in advance, and Song Ziyu began to ask: "Daughter-in-law!" Aren't you the boss of the pit family? ”

Lu Caiqing knew that his man was kind-hearted, and said to him with a smile: "Brother Song! Am I the kind of person who cheats people? Feel relieved? He also said that receiving sweet potatoes is a gift, so I will teach him a few sweet potato practices, and when he gives a gift, it will look good, and the creativity added will be worth the price just now. ”

Song Ziyu listened, blushed and said, "Little daughter-in-law! It's me who blames you, I thought that just because Boss Lin likes you, you will cheat other people's money? It's me who is careful. ”

"No, Brother Song, you are upright, it's not your fault, you are my weather vane to guide me all the time, I must act right on the road in the future, and always be an upright person."

"The little daughter-in-law made you say that I am so great, I will insist on it in the future, and I will support you together, and my life will get better and better." Song Ziyu looked at Lu Caiqing and said.

Lin Huaijin said, Ming'er can help send the parts of Yangjing back, which means that he doesn't have to waste money to hire an ox cart again, that's just right, the silver he brought with him, he paid the deposit and left twenty taels, and after paying tomorrow's processing money, there are still ten taels in his pocket.

Lu Caiqing sometimes felt that Lin Huaijin's brain was in water, so he took thirty taels out of the house, he knew it, but the sweet potato deposit was just ten taels, which made her feel that he was not intentional, afraid that she would not have the silver to live, so the silver was given on the grounds of acquisition, anyway, at the moment, this silver is very much needed by herself, and it is also the income of her own labor, so she can feel at ease when she spends it.

After resting for the night, it was still early in the afternoon, so it was better to go to the market, and now that he had spare money in his hand, Lu Caiqing had already thought about buying some chickens and ducks in the yard. Buy these first, and wait until you have a good time, and then buy an ox cart, and after the harvest in the autumn, you will definitely have to pull things to your home, and it is not cost-effective to hire a car, and now you can only save a little money except for expenses.

Today happens to be another big gathering, selling vegetables, meat, and some rouge gouache, and the sound of buying and selling fills the ears. Lu Caiqing is also a girl after all, shopping has always been a woman's nature, although this cannot be compared with a big shopping mall, but things are dazzling and varied.

Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu heard about the stall selling chickens, squatted down and looked at the things in the cage so cute, she couldn't wait to open it to see, these chickens and ducks were all little guys who had just hatched for a few days, crowded one by one looking for food in the cage.

Song Ziyu looked at his little daughter-in-law holding a little yellow chicken that had just hatched, with a happy look on her face, and knew that her little daughter-in-law liked it very much, so she asked, "How do you sell these chickens and ducks?" ”

The hawker said neatly: "The chickens are two pennies each, and the duck cubs are three pennies each, and none of them are wilting."

Lu Caiqing listened to the calculation, then looked at Song Ziyu and said, "Brother Song! I'm a little dizzy, you help me calculate, I'll buy thirty of them, how much silver will we have to pay? ”

The peddler listened and said, "Little lady! I'm an honest man, I won't deceive you countrymen, and I won't count us one by one. I will not deceive you. ”

When Lu Caiqing heard this, he was amused, he just wanted to give Song Ziyu an internship opportunity, so that he could apply what he had learned, and then inspire him to study more confidently.

Song Ziyu listened and knew that the little daughter-in-law was deliberately letting herself practice, so she calculated seriously: "The little chick has two pennies, and thirty is sixty pennies." The duck cub is three cents, and thirty are ninety cents. Chicken and duck cubs add up to one hundred and fifty wen. Boss, I'm right. ”

At the same time as he calculated, the peddler also calculated himself, and when he heard that he had calculated correctly, his eyes were full of doubts: "Yes, yes! I didn't expect that you, a countryman, could calculate the amount of money so quickly, and almost compared to me, a person who often does business, a total of 150 Wen is right. Little lady, your man is really amazing, your vision is so good. ”

Song Ziyu also felt that this was the first time he was praised in front of Lu Caiqing, and his heart was full of joy, Song Ziyu gave full play to his ability to check the number again, and selected a total of sixty, and the kind-hearted hawker also gave the two of them two inconspicuous baskets for free, which was enough to transport the chickens and ducks home.
