When the four members of the Yu family left, Liu Cunjin knew that his daughter liked to eat porridge cooked with green wheat, so he brought all the more than 30 catties of green wheat that had been rubbed at home. Yu Hai repeatedly excused himself, and the old man got angry: "You don't like our family's gifts, but can't you take them?" If you don't accept it, bring back all the rice and noodles you brought with you! ”

Liu Shi knew his father's stubborn temper very well, and hurriedly pulled the corner of the man's clothes, and said with a smile: "This was given to me by my father, and you have no right to refuse." Dad, do you remember that I like to eat porridge cooked with green barley! ”

"Remember, why don't you remember?" Seeing the girl carrying the green wheat into the carriage, the expression on Liu Cunjin's face eased a lot.

Yao said with a smile on the side: "The sea, don't be like this old man. He, it's this girl who hurts the most. Yun girl loves to eat porridge cooked with green wheat, and the family can't open the pot anymore, every early summer, he will carry the whole family on his back, go to the field to pinch some wheat back, secretly rub it out, and cook porridge for his daughter! After Yun Yatou got married, at this time of year, he said, 'My daughter can't eat green wheat porridge this year, or send two catties of green wheat over?' ’”

Yu Hai is also a girl who loves her daughter, otherwise she wouldn't have tossed this and that by Xiaocao. He shouted movingly, "Daddy...... We took the green wheat and went back to cook porridge for Mu Yun to drink. ”

Yu Xiaocao joked on the side: "Dad, I also like to drink green wheat porridge, you can't just think about your mother and ignore me as a girl!" ”

Yu Hai said with a smile: "Then cook one more bowl, and the grass will drink with your mother!" ”

Little Stone shouted unhappily: "And me, and me!" ”

Yu Hai slapped him on the head: "You kid, what are you making a fuss about?" Lack of you to eat or short you drink? Isn't there rice white flour? Your mother and your second sister have this hobby, and you are embarrassed to rob it? ”

Xiaoshi cried with a sad face and asked his grandmother for comfort: "Grandma, Daddy's eccentric eyes!" The stone is so pitiful, no one loves it, it's like a little cabbage in the ground......"

Yao smiled and held him in his arms and comforted: "The stone doesn't cry, grandma loves you!" The sea, we have a lot of green wheat, you can't be harsh on the children, after eating, I will ask your second brother to send it to you again! ”

Yu Hai glared at his son and said with a smile: "Mother, don't be deceived by this kid, he, who likes to eat green wheat porridge, just follow to find a sense of existence!" "I learned the word "presence" from his daughter.

Liu Cunjin looked at the sky and said to Liu: "It's not early, the road is not easy to walk here, you should hurry up." After a while, there is nothing to do at home, and your mother and I will go to see you. The wealth is not exposed, the food at home is put away, don't be so loose in your hands, don't know what your surname is if you have two money! ”

As soon as he said that, Liu nodded. Although my father's words are a little rough, every sentence is for the sake of his daughter.

The carriage drove a long way out of Xishan Village, and when I turned around, I could still see the white-haired parents, waving to them in the sunset, Liu's heart was sour, and he decided to go home several times in the future, so as not to worry about his father and mother.

When I returned to Dongshan Village, it was already dark. Fortunately, except for the ten miles of roads in Xishan Village, they are all flat avenues, and the horses can run smoothly in the night.

After returning home, the old man told them that the second shopkeeper of Zhenyulou had a lot of money today, and he had sent a cart of grain to the family on Wednesday's order, and when he saw the vegetables in the yard, he was so excited that he had to book some. Seeing that Yu Hai's family of four had gone to Xishan Village, and no one in the family could call the shots, he said goodbye and said that he would come back tomorrow.

"The sea, Zhenyulou is really good to us, our family has planted some old vegetables, let's give them evenly!" Old Yu felt that the Zhou family was a dignified businessman, and he had always helped the Yu family a lot, and he didn't forget to send food over in this disaster year. Gifts are still exchanged, and some vegetables should also be given to others.

Yu Hai didn't talk, but turned his inquiring eyes to his little girl. Yu Xiaocao thought for a while and said, "The vegetable field in our yard has three or four acres, and we will definitely not be able to eat it by ourselves." However, the cost of pouring insect repellent potion every day has increased a lot. Or...... Let's give the vegetables of two acres of land to Zhenyulou, just collect the cost of a potion? ”

Yu Xiaolian was a little unhappy: "Then our family's seeds and labor are not money?" If you sell it like this, it's no wonder if you don't lose money! If you want me to say, people have a big business and a big business, and they don't care about our star at all, just sell it according to the high-priced vegetables! Our vegetables are the only ones in town! If Zhenyulou launches green leafy vegetables at this time, the price will definitely not be low, and it will be able to attract many customers to them. Where can I find this deal? ”

Yu Xiaocao looked at her with a smile and said, "Xiaolian is now full of business experience, and she is very reasonable. Yes! When Brother Ming'er comes, you talk to him! ”

Yu Xiaolian twisted her body and said, "I'm not!" I'm going to sell cold powder tomorrow morning, where do I have time to care about these things! Aren't you familiar with Qian Xiaoduo? You just ask him how he is going to collect our food! ”

The next day, Qian Xiaoduo came to Dongshan Village early, and the big shopkeeper also followed, which shows how much they attach importance to this transaction. With the financial resources of the Zhou family, it is not impossible to transport vegetables from the south, but the price of vegetables plus the cost of transportation is not a small amount. Besides, how can the vegetables that are transported over have freshly picked water? Those rich people in the town have a bad mouth, and they can eat it as soon as they are new.

Under the guidance of Qian Xiaoduo, the big shopkeeper walked into the courtyard gate of the Yu family, and the big courtyard was full of fresh and green vegetable seedlings. Some of these different types of greens have just sent out a few small buds, and some have grown to more than an inch tall, and the leaves are verdant and dripping, and there is no trace of being eaten by insects.

Yu Xiaocao, who was watering the vegetable seedlings, greeted the big shopkeeper from afar: "Uncle shopkeeper, why are you here in person?" Sit down in the room, I'll pour you tea! ”

The big shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "No, you can be busy with yours!" ”

He walked down a narrow path in the middle of the vegetable patch, walked up to Yu Xiaocao, looked at the light brown potion spilled from the watering can, and asked, "This is the potion that can destroy locusts?" ”

Yu Xiaocao nodded and said, "This potion can not only kill locusts, but also drive away locusts!" Look at the size of our yard, but there are not many locusts flying over. The remaining ones, before they landed on the leaves, died and died, and they were not given a chance to gnaw on the leaves at all! ”

The big shopkeeper looked in the direction pointed by Xiaocao, and sure enough, as soon as a locust stopped on a vegetable seedling, it fell down, and after a few kicks, it didn't move!

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Not bad! If this potion can be popularized, why worry that the locusts will not be destroyed? ”

Yu Xiaocao sighed and said, "There are a few flavors of this potion that are difficult to find, and the cost is relatively high, and ordinary people can't afford it." Generally, the income of one acre of land is only a few hundred yuan, but the cost of potion is far more than that. You say, who would do this money-losing deal? ”

The big shopkeeper looked at her with a smile and said, "Don't worry, you won't lose money, and you don't need to hint at the cost of vegetables to me!" ”

Yu Xiaocao laughed dryly and said, "Let's tell the shopkeeper the truth!" From planting to harvesting of an acre of vegetable land, it costs three taels of silver for a potion. Like this kind of leafy vegetables, one acre of land can produce about 3,000 catties. In other words, a pound of vegetables is three or five dollars taller than usual......"

The big shopkeeper shook his hand and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer!" For every pound of vegetables, I will give you ten cents, what do you think? ”

Yu Xiaocao carried the watering can, smiled brightly, gave a thumbs up to the shopkeeper, and said, "Atmosphere!" It is worthy of being the big shopkeeper of the treasure house! However, we don't grow many vegetables in our family, and at most we can give you two acres of vegetables. ”

Two acres of land is 6,000 catties of vegetables, and the usual consumption of vegetables in Zhenyulou is more than ten or twenty days. However, these are extraordinary times, and green leafy vegetables, especially fresh green leafy vegetables, are so valuable that they should be sold in limited quantities and at high prices!

The big shopkeeper clapped on the spot and said, "Okay! I hope that after picking a batch, I can plant a second crop right away, and plant it until the end of autumn when the frost falls! Also, your family's vegetables must not be sold in a second place. ”

"No problem, absolutely no problem!" This family Yu Xiaocao can still be a family, she nodded and said, "Our yard is so big, it's impossible to sell it to other families!" By the way, we also have some autumn vegetables planted next door, but I can give you some evenly! ”

The big shopkeeper stretched out his finger and nodded at her, and said with a smile: "You, you're a little businessman!" Yes! The autumn vegetables that your family can't eat, we also have them in Zhenyulou, and the price has risen by ten wen per catty. ”

So, in less than half an hour, the deal was negotiated. The price of vegetables is added to the price of early-maturing vegetables in early spring, which means that small green vegetables cost 30 wen a catty, lettuce 35 wen a catty, spinach 25 wen a catty, and oil and wheat vegetables 28 wen a catty...... Although it's not the season to plant spinach, Yu Xiaocao has a cheat in his hand, what vegetables can't be planted?

Don't look at the price of these vegetables is not high, but think about the usual appearance of a pound of pork, a pound of vegetables is worth a pound of pork, for the common people it is really high! However, when you think about it, it's not hard to buy pork now, it's fresh vegetables that are hard to buy!

Recently, the business of Zhenyulou has faded a lot, on the one hand, there are too many meat dishes, and the vegetables are so noble that they are deadly, and the taste is average. Fortunately, there are a few signature dishes that have been supported, otherwise it would have to be closed like most restaurants and restaurants in the town.

made an appointment with the Yu family to buy vegetables, and the big shopkeeper proudly took Qian Xiaoduo, who had been promoted to the second shopkeeper, and left Dongshan Village.

Yu Xiaocao's family heard about this price and was quite satisfied! Take small green vegetables as an example, one acre of land can produce more than 3,000 catties, and if one catty is 30 wen, one acre of land can be sold for 90 to 100 taels of silver. This profit, what other crop can compare with besides watermelon?
