Chapter 116: It's really a little lucky star
Don't say Zhuo Nan, even Du Liansheng was stunned by Du Yunnuan's unexpected move, why did his niece suddenly talk about business with the shopkeeper of other people's money houses?
He stepped forward in a little panic and brought Du Yunnuan behind him, "Shopkeeper Zhuo, I'm sorry, the little girl is not sensible." ”
Zhuo Nan glanced at Du Yunnuan meaningfully, "I don't think so, what Miss Du said is very reasonable, this Brother Du, what price did the peaches in Taoyuan Village sell for in previous years, can you tell me?" ”
Du Liansheng hesitated, but still said, "In previous years, it was collected according to eight copper plates in one basket, and one basket was twenty catties. ”
Zhuo Nan's little abacus in his heart immediately crackled.
Du Yunnuan added, "I think the merchant should have talked more than Li Zheng, it should be a little more, and this eight-penny basket is just a price for ordinary villagers to know." ”
Zhuo Nan gave Du Yunnuan an an appreciative look, this is normal, if this peach is only available in Taoyuan Village, then who this peach is sold to, Li Zheng has the right to call the shots, and it is too normal for the merchant to give Li Zheng a part of the rebate.
On the taste of this peach, it may not be sold at a high price in the county, but to the state, or to Jinling, the selling price is definitely different, to the county at most one or two copper plates a catty, to the state is estimated to be five or six copper plates a catty is not a problem, to Jinling can be sold ten copper plates a catty, and then to the north to the imperial capital, fifteen copper plates a catty is definitely not a problem.
Naturally, this peach must have a loss on the road, but this loss can be ignored in the face of huge interests.
"Then how many catties of peaches can be produced in your village in a year?"
This Du Liansheng is still about a number, "There can be 30,000 catties and a lot more, the rain is not good this year, I went to the peach forest to see it before, the peach hanging fruit is not as good as in previous years, but at least there are about 27,800 catties." ”
30,000 catties of peaches, for Sheng Yu Qian Zhuang is a trivial matter at all, you can easily eat it, this matter, Zhuo Nan doesn't even need to say hello to the people in the above branch, he can make a decision.
At that moment, he weighed it in his heart, "Miss Du, according to my guess, the price that the merchant gave you may be this number." ”
He gestured to ten, and then said, "No more than that." ”
The five fingers of his left hand were spread out, and he flipped them back and forth, and then compared the number of two, that is, no more than twelve copper plates in a basket.
"So," Zhuo Nan casually took an abacus from behind, tossed a few beads on it, and showed it to Du Yunnuan, "I can make the decision to collect it at this price, the key is, can you represent your village?" ”
Du Yunnuan shook his head and smiled, "I naturally can't represent it, but I believe that wealth is moving." ”
"And Uncle Zhuo, if all our peaches are packed like they are for my grandmother today, what price do you think you will collect them?"
Zhuo Nan thought about it for a moment, there was indeed a basket of peaches that was loaded into the carriage just now, and each of the peaches was wrapped in hay?
Du Yunnuan raised a finger and shook it, "It can be more detailed than that, I know that there is a kind of paper that is very rough and cheap, we cut that kind of paper into small pieces, wrap the peaches, and then put a layer of soft grass on the outer bread, and then put it in the basket, which can prevent the grass from scratching the skin of the peaches, and prevent them from being damaged when they collide with each other, and they can be stored for a longer time." ”
The price given by Zhuo Nan just now is 14 copper plates and 20 catties, Du Yunnuan believes that Yang Shengcai has just taken office, and it is absolutely impossible to take any kickbacks from this price, so for the villagers, the price of a basket of peaches is equivalent to rising from eight yuan to fourteen yuan, this price, the villagers must be willing to sell to Zhuo Nan, rather than choose to sell to the previous merchant.
And that merchant should have been accustomed to the prices of Taoyuan Village in previous years, so he must have pinched the time to come and collect it, and he would not come to say hello in advance.
When he arrived, he found that he had been cut off, and the price offered by others was much higher than his, so he might not be willing to spend money.
Du Yunnuan knew that so many peaches, Zhuo Nan could not all be transported to Dijing to sell, it was more likely that they would go down the river directly in Taoyuan Village, and after arriving at the ferry on the Danjiang River, they would be directly diverted to various places, after all, transportation also requires money and manpower.
So the method she mentioned won't require a lot of it.
"Miss Du, do you know that when you say this method, I can hire someone to do it myself."
Du Yunnuan smiled, "So Uncle Zhuo can hire someone from my family, my eldest aunt and second aunt are very skillful and do things very quickly." ”
Zhuo Nan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, I can't compare to you A little girl can calculate, and I lost to you." ”
"So, I'll take the time to visit your village tomorrow and talk to you about harvesting peaches, what do you think?"
Du Yunnuan thought about it for a while and felt that it should be no problem, but she still told Zhuo Nan about some of the things that happened in Taoyuan Village recently, so that Zhuo Nan could be mentally prepared.
"As for what Miss Du said, please don't worry, when the time comes, I will hire someone, and I will definitely give priority to hiring from your family."
"Then thank you Uncle Zhuo, these peaches are given to Uncle Zhuo to eat."
Du Yunnuan took out the peaches in his back basket and piled them on the table, and then put all the medicines that Zhuo Nan brought to her into the back basket, which just filled a back basket.
When Du Liansheng drove the ox cart to Du Lianping's house, he was still in a trance, he glanced back at Du Yunnuan in disbelief, and saw that Du Yunnuan was sitting on the edge of the ox cart, his legs were shaking, his eyes couldn't stop looking to both sides, and he looked very curious.
is obviously a seven-year-old girl, how dare she talk about business with the shopkeeper of the money bank like that?
It's done with her!
If this thing really happens, the income of the villagers this year will be a lot more, in previous years, everyone worked hard in the days when they picked peaches, and a person was a lot of copper plates, and the whole family went out, and it was not a problem to save hundreds of copper plates.
This year, the price has risen, everyone can earn a little more, which can almost earn a small half of a year's farming, he can imagine that when the time comes, Du Yunnuan's reputation as a little lucky star will probably be more famous in the village.
Even Du Liansheng felt that his niece was probably really a little lucky star, and since she was said to be a great blessing by the old Taoist, everything that happened to the Du family was a good thing.
Du Liansheng glanced back at Du Yunnuan again, his palm was a little impatient, he actually wanted to touch Nannan's head now, and rub some blessing from her.
