Chapter 16 Sky-high crab yolk eggs
Mu Qingyun saw her puffing out, and laughed: "Xiao Lili, you are so interesting." Okay, don't just get angry, do you guess if the owner of Baixiang House will agree to cooperate? ”
"Well...... Mo Li thought for a moment and said, "There will be no results in three days, I think this matter should be similar." ”
To be honest, she really doesn't know the bottom in her heart. In modern times, silver is sold for ten yuan a gram in the mall, and she bought a silver bracelet on a certain treasure, and six yuan a gram together, even if she invests in silver bars, it costs almost five yuan a gram. According to the ancient arithmetic that one catty is equal to sixteen taels, then one tael is equivalent to about thirty grams now, which is one hundred and fifty yuan. Oh, my God! The sky-high price of shrimp is only thirty-eight, and one of her salted duck eggs is about to catch up with two shrimps, which is still a sky-high shrimp. Mo Li couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, in this era, there is no price bureau, and there is no Internet, otherwise, ......
Two days passed, but I didn't see the shadow of the shopkeeper Zhao. Mo Li doesn't take it seriously, the first pot of gold can be earned like that. On the morning of the third day, as soon as Mo Li finished cleaning the big tent, a guard came to say that Mu Qingyun had a guest and asked her to hurry over.
Mo Li said calmly, "Got it", and as soon as the guards left, a big smile bloomed, and his right hand clenched into a fist and made a cheering gesture. It seems that Shopkeeper Zhao came in person, otherwise Mu Qingyun would not have called her over.
tidied up his clothes in front of the mirror, and went to Mu Qingyun's big tent with cheerful steps. Shopkeeper Zhao saw that Mo Li was dressed in the clothes of a guard, but he was slightly stunned, then quickly came back to his senses and hugged his fists: "Unexpectedly, Mr. Mo turned out to be a military master." ”
Mo Li also clenched his fists and saluted back: "Shopkeeper Zhao has come all the way, sit down and rest." ”
Shopkeeper Zhao was not verbose, and after sitting down, he said: "My owner is very interested in crab roe eggs, and I am here today to discuss specific matters with Mr. Mo." ”
"Your boss replied pretty quickly." Mu Qingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth and squinted at Shopkeeper Zhao.
"Yes, yes, I reported the matter to the owner, and the owner gave a reply." Shopkeeper Zhao replied.
Mo Li didn't take the conversation between the two seriously, and directly told the shopkeeper Zhao about his thoughts, during which the shopkeeper Zhao also put forward some of his own opinions, which was not too complicated, and it took less than half an hour for the two to reach an agreement and sign the contract, which is the contract that Mo Li said. Then he brought back forty salty ...... for Shopkeeper Zhao crab roe eggs, and agreed to deliver 100 pieces on the fifteenth of the next month.
The next step is to mass production, Mu Qingyun took Mo out of the barracks again, this time to Fairy Lake twenty miles away.
As soon as he heard this name, Mo Li was thinking, this name is immortal enough, but it is also cheesy enough. There must be a beautiful legend about some god.
But when she stood by the lake, she felt that she couldn't connect the beauty with the scene in front of her. The weeds are all over the place, except for the yellow reeds, and even the surface of the lake, which is rarely exposed, is gray and abrupt, and there is no beauty at all.
"How's it going here, little glass." Mu Qingyun looked at Mo Li and asked.
"It's not good, it's not beautiful at all."
Mu Qingyun laughed twice: "It's winter now, of course there is no scenery." In the summer, if you walk through the reeds, you will see a large field of lotus flowers. That's why the small village over there is called Lotus Village. ”
"Oh......" Mo Li replied with lack of interest, she wasn't here to enjoy the scenery and the lake, so she didn't care about the scenery.
"How are Xiao Lili going to find duck eggs?"
"Isn't it stupid, I don't know where the duck laid its eggs." Mo Li rolled her eyes and waved her hand, "Let's go, go to Lotus Village." ”
Lotus Village is a relatively large village around, with about seventy or eighty households, mainly with the surname "Lei". Most families are related to each other.
Mo Li directly found Li Zheng, who was in charge of the village, and told him about the duck eggs he was going to buy.
Li is an old man about fifty years old, with a long white beard, looking at Mo Li and Mu Qingyun with strange eyes: "In our village, every family will save a few wild duck eggs, which are prepared to satisfy hunger when there is really no food." That thing smells very fishy, and no one likes to eat it, and no one buys it. What do you want it to do? ”
"Uncle Lizheng, I have my own use." Mo Li said, "Five cents a piece, I want it fresh." ”
"What? Five cents a piece? Li Zheng couldn't believe his ears, knowing that ten cents could buy a pound of brown rice.
Mo Li nodded: "Five cents, but it must be fresh." I'm going to ask for one hundred and fifty today. ”
"Cheng, Cheng, I'll go to Zhang Luo Zhang Luo."
Under Lizheng's organization, the villagers soon sent their duck eggs to a temporary purchase point in the courtyard of Lizheng's house.
Mo Li asked everyone to line up, take out copper coins, pick the freshest duck eggs to keep, and then pay.
Before coming, she deliberately went to the money and grain officer in the barracks to exchange the usual copper coins, and inquired about the prices of rice noodles and commonly used items by the way. Now she has a basic understanding of prices.
One hundred and fifty duck eggs were quickly collected, and a dozen or so villagers behind them looked disappointed, regretting that they had not come sooner. Mo Li simply collected a few from everyone, and finally collected nearly two hundred duck eggs in total, and then went home.
Mu Qingyun, who was watching the excitement from the sidelines throughout the whole process, looked at the two large baskets of duck eggs and frowned: "Xiao Lili, a hundred is enough for delivery, is this a little too much?" ”
"That's not much," Mo Li waved his hand, "I'm afraid that it's cold now, and the duck eggs are not easy to find, so I agreed with Shopkeeper Zhao for a hundred." Besides, don't we have to eat it ourselves? ”
Mu Qingyun raised her eyebrows, re-examined Mo Li, and thought: Don't look at this little Lili's age, her mind is quite smart.
With the help of Er Shun and Lao Qiao, Mo Li pickled all the duck eggs into the jar. On a whim, she set aside a few, and found quicklime, alkali rice husks, and plant ash to wrap a few duck eggs.
Ershun watched Mo Li stuff the duck eggs covered with grass and wood ash into the jar, sealed them with mud, and asked puzzledly: "Ah Li, what are you doing here?" ”
Mo Li patted the mud on his hands: "I just try it casually, and I don't know if I can succeed." ”
The eggs are all in place, and it's time to do that. Mo Li returned to a quiet life.
After dinner that day, she sat on the futon in front of the square table and looked at a travelogue, her favorite of the few books she could read on the shelf. Originally, it was easy to get sleepy when he was full, and the candle was not as bright as the electric light, and Mo Li yawned a few times in the dim light, but he really didn't want to move, so he lay on the square table, wanting to squint for a while and then continue to look. Who knows, this squint really fell asleep.
