Chapter 110: The Way to Make Money
110
After passing by the bakery, Mo Xiangshan bought a box of bread for Mo Xiaomi, which is what children in the city like to eat, and he can't wronged his granddaughter.
Mo Xiangshan is a pet child, and what Mo Xiaomi wants to buy, he bought it without feeling distressed at all; What Mo Xiaomi doesn't want, Mo Xiangshan thinks that his granddaughter can use it, and he will buy it.
Tian character grid, arithmetic books, buy thirty each, five pencils, it is estimated that it can be used for two or three years.
Then the grandfather and grandson went to the small restaurant and ordered two bowls of beef noodles, and while waiting for the noodles to be cooked, Mo Xiaomi's small vendor sent a basket of monkeys over. The owner of the small restaurant gave the man sixteen yuan directly.
The knowledge in that basket is estimated to be five catties, which is not much. In this way, a pound can be sold for three yuan.
"Uncle, where did you get so many monkeys?" When Mo Xiao saw the man come out, he followed behind, and only asked when he arrived at the door.
Mo Xiangshan was afraid that his granddaughter would run away, so he also came over to take a look.
"Hehe, I'm going to the village to buy it." The man in his thirties said, "Some of them were bought by others and sold to me, and those people collected them from the villagers, caught them the night before, washed them and salted them, and then I sent them to the big and small restaurants in the county seat." ”
"Uncle, you are really business-minded." Mo Xiaomi praised, "How much is a pound of monkeys you buy from these pickled monkeys?" ”
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and was asked about the price, did he want to grab business with him?
Mo Xiaomi saw that people misunderstood, and quickly replied: "Uncle, don't get me wrong, we are from Lihuawan, which is far away from the county seat, and there are many mountains and trees in our village, and there are many monkeys, but it is inconvenient to come and go." If we catch a monkey, how can we sell it to our uncle? ”
Only then did Mo Xiangshan understand what his little granddaughter meant, it turned out that he wanted to sell the monkey!
But the granddaughter has a saying that is right, there are indeed a lot of monkeys in their village, and a little baby can catch a lot of them when they go around the village at night. If you can sell it, it's good to earn some pocket money.
"Young man, my granddaughter is not lying. Now that the farm is over, it's fine. If you want to know about monkeys, go to our village to buy them, and it's no problem to get hundreds of catties a day. Mo Xiangshan explained, Dayong's child is fine at home, and he can catch the monkey and sell it!
As soon as I heard that there were more than 100 catties, the middle-aged man was a little moved, and this year the city should also know about the monkey business, which is five cents more expensive than the county price!
"It's a long way to go to Ewha Bay!" The middle-aged man was embarrassed, "If you collect it in a few nearby villages, it will be five pounds a piece, and it is still the price of pickling, and then it will be transported to the county seat, or even further away to buy it." If you just go to a place so far away from Pear Blossom Bay, the road is not passable, the car can't get in, and the back and forth will delay time. ”
"Uncle, isn't it better to be like this, you have an extra dime and a pound, we will send it to the place where you open the car, and then put it in your car, is this okay?" Mo Mi said, "My family has an ox cart, although it is slow, but it is still possible to walk on mountain roads." ”
The middle-aged man thought about it, it was a little troublesome, and said: "One dime at a time, it's too much, one catty and one five cents, you send it to the three-way crossing, and I pass by there at about eight o'clock every day." To drive the ox cart, if you pass from Ewha Bay, it is estimated to take two hours. If it works, I will; If it doesn't work, I don't want it. ”
Mo Xiangshan listened, nodded and said, "Okay, let's rush to the three forks at half past seven." When the time comes, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. By the way, you said salting, how do you put salt? ”
