"It doesn't matter if you only have one corner, you can bury a thick bamboo and tie that corner to the bamboo. Good second sister, the quality of our duck is the best, and it is a live duck, and the price has not yet been decided. It would be more appropriate for me to help the third sister alone. Besides, shouldn't I go into town to see the doctor with this injury...... "Her injury is really for her to make full use of." This sin was not in vain.

"Then it's time to take a look. Let's see if you still have to grab the medicine again or change the medicine. Carambola answered for Mi Tao: "Then according to what you said, Ming'er, you and your third sister will go to sell ducks, and then go to the hospital after you are done." If you want to use money, you should first use the money from selling ducks to top it. I'll go hunting ducks with your second sister and Akiyama. It's just that you can't ask someone Akiyama Bai to help, and you just give him a duck when you turn around. ”

"What's the use? There is no shortage of food at home" Cherry's heart hurts, he catches a total of five or six a day, and gives him one of them?

"If you don't give him ducks, do you want to give money?" Carambola asked rhetorically.

Cherry was out of words. The eldest sister is right, it's not that there is no work in the Akiyama family, so you can't help the five sisters in vain. But a duck is a hundred words, she is distressed...... That's it, just let him help once, she will take Mian Tao to the town to set a price tomorrow, and she will be relieved to ask Mian Tao to go alone next time.

Tomorrow happens to be the town market, there are many people, there are more people buying, and the price can be set higher.

In order to ensure that the appearance of the wild duck can be kept intact, the five sisters made two large bamboo baskets with lids overnight.

Tie the duck's legs and put them in the bamboo roots, so you don't have to worry about tearing your legs or breaking your wings. Two ducks can be placed in each basket, which is picked by cotton peaches, and then cherries hold another one in their arms.

The two set off early in the morning.

There are many people rushing to the town market, but there are also many people setting up stalls, and if you go late, you won't have a place to stay.

When we arrived in town, it was just the same as dawn. There are already a lot of people in the town, setting up stalls, carrying burdens, shouting, and bargaining, one after another, and it is lively.

Cherries and cotton peaches squeezed all the way to find a small corner.

When she came, Cherry noticed that there were few wild goods on the road, all of them were hares and ducks, but they were all dead. And there are at most three or two per stall, and there are no more than five.

After setting up the bamboo basket, the cherry quietly attached to Mian Tao's ear: "Third sister, I see that there is no live wild duck sold on this road." ”

"I saw it too." Mian Tao stared at the crowd of people coming and going, and replied lightly: "It seems that our price can be more expensive." ”

These three sisters are too smart~

Cherry shouted in her heart a 'also four!' He said softly: "How much?" How much do you want? ”

"Wait a while and see what the price is." After Mian Tao finished speaking, she kept her mouth shut.

Cherry thought, just look at whether she sells expensive or cheap for a while and then speak. She intuitively felt that the third sister was better than herself in this regard, and was more like a businessman.

After a while, someone came to the stall and asked, "Girl, how do you sell this duck?" ”

"Uncle" Mian Tao stood up, smiling, and focused. It seems that she only has this duck in front of her, and even the cherry has forgotten: "Look at this duck, the appearance, weight, are the best." And the important thing is that I am a live duck, and there is no one in the vicinity for sale, so it is not easy to buy it on weekdays. ”

Don't talk about the price first, let's talk about the quality first, the third sister is not bad.

"The girl really knows how to say. So how much do you want a pound? "The man was very cautious

"My live duck is not easy to catch, and I have to eat and drink well when I catch it, so the asking price is a little more expensive, 30 yuan a catty." The cotton peach looked faint, neither humble nor arrogant.

"So expensive? It's ten cents more expensive than the market price! The man was startled.

"Uncle, there is no comparison between a live duck and a dead duck. You have to do the math. Mian Tao snapped her fingers: "It's hard to catch live ducks, you have to add two articles, right?" After I catch this duck, I have to feed it with water and food, which is time-consuming, laborious and food-intensive, so I have to add two pennies, right? The live duck meat is fresh and delicious, and the taste is different. In addition, this dead duck is not good to put for too long, if you are good at this bite, you can only catch the market to have a good time. Live ducks are different, buy them and raise them at home, and eat them whenever you want, which is also worth two pennies, right? The other two articles...... If you can buy more than two, I will save you these two articles. ”

"Drink, you girl, you can talk. When you say that, it seems like I'm a bargain. The man smiled and gave a thumbs up to Cotton Peach Lulu: "Yes, I didn't bring that much money, and I have to buy something else." You can just weigh me one. ”

"Okay." Mian Tao took out the rope with her hands and feet, tied the duck wings, and weighed it.

After opening an account, business is much better, and people come to ask for prices from time to time.

Almost as long as someone asks for the price, the cotton peach can be sold, and the price has been kept at 30 Wen. In a few moments, the five ducks were sold out. Eight duck eggs secretly brought by Cotton Peach were also sold. Count the money, a total of 785 yuan, a heavy one.

Cherry was stunned when she watched from the sidelines: "Third sister, you really know how to do business!" "The price is higher than I think, and that little mouth has to be bad, even I, a modern person who has practiced in hundreds of stores and thousands of stalls, is tempted.

"It's a pity that I only brought five with me today. However, looking at this market, even if it is not a market, it is not worrying about selling. Mian Tao smiled and clapped her hands: "Let's go, let's go to the hospital." ”

"Doctorate?" Cherry was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that she relied on this excuse to come to the market with Cotton Peach. She smiled wryly: "That...... Otherwise, don't go, the medicinal materials are quite expensive. ”

"That's not good, if you get an infected wound, you'll have to spend more money next time."

"Third sister...... Cherry felt that her injury was almost used, and it was time to 'recover': "Actually, my injury has been healed, so we don't need to go to the hospital." ”

"I knew that you Nizi was worried that I was selling the duck cheaply, so she stalked and wanted to follow!" Mian Tao's idea was confirmed, and she rolled her eyes angrily: "Your third sister's ability, you can rest assured!" ”

"Hey, hey, there's any, there's any." Cheeky smile

"In the past, I sold all the fish we raised, and I also sold the fish that my father hunted, and it has never been cheap." Mian Tao remembered the past and was a little nostalgic: "You don't know, my father always praised me in private, and said that if I want to do business, he will earn money for me to make capital." ”

"Ah, you're going to sell those?" I see, the third sister is a teenager

"Ahh Cotton Peach glared at her amusedly.

"I know, I just didn't know my dad would say that." If the third sister doesn't go into business, it will really be buried.

"What's the matter, Ming'er is still selling ducks with me?"

"I think I'm better at duck catching." Cherry smiled, today is considered to be insightful, in the business industry, she is not as good as the third sister.

Cotton Peach grinned and pinched Cherry's ear: "You, I know you are reluctant to give Akiyama that duck!" ”

"Isn't this for the sake of my family?" It's not that she's reluctant, it's that this family really needs money now. If it weren't for the lack of food and clothing, how could she be stingy with a duck? What's more, the other party is Akiyama, except for a few sisters in the family, Akiyama and Runsheng are the best people in the world for her.

The two sisters said as they walked, turned a corner, Mian Tao put down the bamboo basket, took out twelve cents from her arms, wrapped it in a piece of cloth, put it under the bamboo basket, and then picked up the bamboo basket again: "I have taken care of the ducks for the past two days, and there are a few female ducks in it." The eldest sister and the second sister don't know about the fact that ducks can lay eggs. I'm going to secretly sell the eggs and buy a beautiful silk flower for my eldest sister. In ten days, she will be born. You can't talk about it when you're home. ”

"Eldest sister's birthday??" By the way, after her birthday, the eldest sister will officially be married.

"Hmm. You must not show the stuffing, even if this gift is given by the two of us. Mian Tao freed up a hand and held the cherry: "Let's go home quickly." Five ducks were sold for a small 800 yuan, and a good laborer had to work in the town for more than ten days. Go home and let a few sisters know, and be happy. ”

The two of them left the town and walked south along the main road.

Out of the town, it is the village of Beihu, where the uncle's house is located. Beihu Village is built on a large road, and further on, there is a winding field road in Qujia Village. By this time, it was already midday, and the fields on both sides of the road were full of farmers checking the harvest. In the past few days, the corn harvest has begun, and the farmers have been soaking in the fields almost every day.

As the two sisters walked, they whispered:

"Sister, they can catch five or six ducks a day, let's count five. These five ducks can be sold for more than 700 yuan, so let's count it as 750 yuan. We have seven hundred and fifty dollars a day, and ten days is seven taels and five dollars of silver. Those mallards can barely stay until the river freezes, and it's almost two months before then. We can earn ...... in these two months" Mian Tao calculated for a while, and said uncertainly: "Thirty ...... Seven taels? ”

It's no wonder that cotton peach arithmetic is not good, the female dolls of this era can read and write, and it is already very remarkable to know some simple arithmetic. Cherry made a silent motion: "Third sister, be quiet." This must not be known to outsiders. "Who knows if you make a living like this? Even if the sisters try their best to hold on, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for a few days.

"Oh, oh, I know." Mian Tao was still very happy: "When we make money, let's buy those two acres of land back." The eldest sister must be happy. ”

"She's still crying at night?" If you have money, you have to solve the problem of winter food and clothing first. And the house and yard at home need to be repaired.

"Not for these two nights. Just always sighing. ”

Bypassing the old stone group at the end of Qujia Village, the two entered Xiaomiao Village and walked straight forward.

Long after the two walked out, a figure flashed behind the stone group: "Seven hundred Wen? What makes a living so lucrative? ”
