Chapter 66: Happy Events in Beigou
Xiao Qi of Le Xiangju stood on the carriage, put his hands in his mouth and shouted to the crowd around him: "Everyone, pay attention, we are here to buy sour bamboo shoots and sour cabbage, sour bamboo shoots and water with vegetables for fifteen wen a catty, sour cabbage five wen a catty, if you want to sell it, go home and get it, and give cash after the scale." ”p>
After listening to the "uproar" discussion, when did the pickles at home become so valuable? You must know that the rice in the shell is ten wen a catty, this winter's cotton is only 16 wen a catty, and the large pickle jar with soup and vegetables weighs more than 400 catties. p>
"This little brother, do you count?" Sister-in-law Niu stared in disbelief. p>
Xiao Qi, a child who is not enough to have a weak crown, said such things, which is more like a lie. p>
Xiao Qi stood on the carriage and looked down at the disbelieving eyes of everyone, and patted the box next to him with a big smile: "Naturally it's true, we are Le Xiangju's buddies, and this box is full of white silver." But it's not all kinds of dishes, it's the price that pickles well, and we don't want those that are not pickled. ”p>
Everyone's eyes shifted to the box and swallowed their saliva, and then looked at Xiao Qi's eyes as if he saw the God of Wealth, which was very hot. p>
Wang Linyuan was also in the crowd at this time, and when he heard Xiao Qi shouting out Le Xiangju, he knew that it was the sister-in-law who was selling vegetables a few days ago, so he shouted: "This little brother, do you want as many dishes as you want?" Other pickles? ”p>
"That's right, I have half a jar of cabbage and pickled radish at home, and my brother will also accept it, and it will be a pound of seven yuan." Zhou Lao, who was from the pork stall next to him, pulled his neck and shouted, the price of this dish made him tremble, and now a pound of fat is only eighteen yuan, and a jar of pickled vegetables is worth more than a pig. p>
Xiao Qi said with a smile: "Let's only accept sour bamboo shoots and sour cabbage, as long as there are good ones, let's ask for as many as we want, everyone go back and see how many vegetables can be sold at home." ”p>
When the people in the village heard this, they quickly turned around and ran home, and there were many men who went to the store to look for their own family to go back to pick vegetables, for fear of falling behind others. p>
Wang Linyuan didn't see his sister-in-law and Yu'er in the crowd, so he asked Liu to go home first, and turned around to his sister-in-law's house to inform him of the incident. p>
"Sister-in-law, you brought sauerkraut when you went to Lexiangju to sell vegetables, right?" p>
Lan Yi hugged Yu'er, patted his cotton clothes and said, "Well, I brought two small jars over a few days ago, and they were not slow. ”p>
"This price is not low, a pound of dried bamboo shoots in the market is only four or five yuan, and a pound of cabbage is three pounds, can they make a profit this time when they collect it at such a high price?" Wang Linyuan asked curiously, he wanted to hear his sister-in-law's opinion. p>
Before Lan Yi could explain, footsteps sounded at the door again, and as soon as Sister-in-law Niu entered the door and saw Lan Yi, she shouted directly: "Brother and sister, this is amazing." Someone from the city came to collect sauerkraut, I asked the cow egg and his father to pull it over, your pickled bamboo shoots and pickled cabbage are still a lot, sister-in-law will help you clean up, and let his father bring it to you later. ”p>
Sister-in-law Niu said with tears in her eyes: "This time it is really a great light for my younger brother and sister!" My sister-in-law followed you to pickle the sour bamboo shoots. ”p>
Sister-in-law Niu's family has many children and few fields, so she only relies on her to do some embroidery work and her husband to go into the mountains to hunt to fill the family. She followed Lan Yi to pickle sour bamboo shoots because sour bamboo shoots do not require a lot of salt like other pickles, only use water and taste good, such things that do not require cost are naturally popular with Niu's sister-in-law, so she pickled four large jars and planned to rely on it for the winter this winter, but she didn't expect it to become white flowers now. p>
"Sister-in-law is polite, I'll trouble Brother Niu later." Lan Yi responded with a smile. p>
Sister-in-law Niu took Lan Yi's hand, and her lips trembled a little with excitement: "What are you talking about, if you didn't give us pickles, where would you get this money." ”p>
After Sister-in-law Niu left, several more families came to inform Lan Yi that someone had come to the village to collect vegetables, and they all asked her if she needed help, and they were all happy. p>
"Sister-in-law, thanks to you, our village can have a good year this time." Wang Linyuan said with emotion. p>
Lan Yi only waved his hand: "Thanks to the third brother for introducing me to Lexiangju to sell vegetables, Shopkeeper Cheng has an eye for sourness, if others are afraid that they will not be able to offer such a high price." ”p>
Wang Linyuan nodded with a smile and asked again: "Sister-in-law, this time Le Xiangju took the sauerkraut, but you plan to make this money?" ”p>
Lan Yi nodded: "Not bad." Third brother, do you think, will the people in the village sell all the sour bamboo shoots at the price of fifteen wen a catty? ”p>
"Will, hehe, sister-in-law, you don't know, Er Niuniu's mother ran back to her parents' house, and her mother's house also pickled some of them, saying that she was going to bring them over and sell them." Wang Linyuan thought of his wife's regretful appearance of jumping feet, and couldn't help but smile. p>
Liu didn't pickle sour bamboo shoots at first, and later only pickled half a jar after tasting the deliciousness, after all, only the three of them in the family couldn't eat much. p>
"So Le Xiangju bought all the sour bamboo shoots in the hands of the people in the village, and this winter they are the only ones in the restaurants and inns in Huangxian County who have sour bamboo shoots, and the price of the dishes they make must not be cheap, and they only earn a lot more. Besides, with the scale of Lexiangju, they must have inns in other places, which is completely sour bamboo shoots. Lan Yi carefully analyzed Wang Linyuan, Wang Linyuan has business acumen, and the business of the oil mill will depend on him to use more brains in the future. p>
Wang Linyuan's eyes lit up, he understood what his sister-in-law meant, and then asked: "Then why is the sour cabbage only five wen a catty?" ”p>
"It is enough for a month for sour cabbage to be pickled to eat, and there is no need to collect a lot of cabbage in everyone's hands, just give a cost price. Although cabbage is now a pound of three cents, but pickled cabbage is salted, two cabbages and a handful of salt, the price of salt is expensive, so the cost of sour cabbage is higher. Everyone knows the pickling method of sauerkraut, and it is impossible for them to keep it secret, so there is no way to be exclusive, and the scarcity is expensive, since it cannot be scarce, they only need to buy the sour cabbage they collect, unless they plan otherwise. ”p>
Pickles and housework are women's business, Wang Linyuan naturally didn't know that this sour cabbage needed salt, and then analyzed: "Sister-in-law, are they going to buy cabbage and pickle it themselves?" ”p>
The third brother thinks reasonably, with the scale of Lexiangju, they must have their own procurement and transportation channels, and if they transport sour cabbage to all parts of the country, they will definitely be able to make a profit. If I expected it to be good, after I went to Lexiangju, the shopkeeper Cheng must have discovered the value of this sour cabbage, and in the past few days before coming to the village to buy sauerkraut, he must have bought a lot of Chinese cabbage to hoard, and may have begun to pickle sour cabbage. Lan Yi thought of Cheng Beiyou's shrewd appearance, and he naturally thought of what he could think of. p>
Wang Linyuan slapped his palms after hearing this, and suddenly realized: "That's right! Sister-in-law, if you come to us and collect sauerkraut and then buy cabbage, the price of this cabbage will not be a penny or three catties, and it will definitely rise. ”p>
After speaking, he looked at his sister-in-law with some hesitation, not knowing whether to say his thoughts or not. p>
Seeing his expression, Lan Yi asked with a smile: "Third brother, we are our own family members who can speak directly, and we don't have to babble." ”p>
"Sister-in-law, since you know that this sauerkraut has oil and water, why don't we open a workshop to get more and sell it?" Wang Linyuan saw such a question, and said directly. p>
"I have two considerations, one is that it is difficult to estimate how valuable this sauerkraut is; The second is that we do not have the manpower and transportation channels to transport the vegetables in our hands, and we are not familiar with the channels for buying and selling vegetables. ”p>
Lan Yi said it bluntly, and Wang Linyuan was also thorough: "What the sister-in-law said makes sense, Le Xiangju can do this because they are familiar with the way of trading and transportation, and they also have a good foundation." If our oil mill is established, it will be more convenient to do things with our own people in hand. ”p>
"So there are also second and third brothers, you have to learn how to do business more with Shopkeeper Xia, listen and watch more, we still have a lot to do in the future." Lan Yi smiled and said, "Okay, you should go back and clean up the sauerkraut at home and sell it, and your younger brother and sister should come back." ”p>
The people in the village rushed to transport the pickles from their families to the old locust tree in the village, waiting in line to pass the scales, and everyone was not in a hurry, discussing with each other what the money earned could do, and the laughter continued. p>
When Lan Yi and Sister-in-law Niu arrived, the people in the village greeted Lan Yi with friendly smiles and said goodbye, saying that they would let her go directly to the front without queuing. p>
There are also a lot of adults and children watching the excitement next to her, Yu'er ran to her side when she saw her mother coming, helping to pull her younger brother, his small chest was straight, and he felt very face-saving, you must know that these pickles are made by her mother. p>
There are also more than a dozen families in the village who have not pickled sauerkraut, and at this time they have come up to ask familiar people how to pickle this sauerkraut, and they can't wait to go back immediately to pickle the cabbage at home for silver. p>
When it was Lan Yi and Niu's sister-in-law's turn to cross the scales, Le Xiangju's ox cart full of pickles had already left three cars. p>
"You have a lot of pickles!" After Lan Yi's three jars of sour bamboo shoots and two jars of sour cabbage were weighed, Xiao Qi smiled and handed her the silver. p>
Lan Yi only showed a shallow smile, nodded and took the silver before turning to leave. p>
Xiao Qi twitched the corners of her mouth, this sister-in-law Wang is really different from when she talks about business in the store, she really pretends not to know herself. p>
Lan Yi's five-pot sauerkraut was sold for twenty taels of silver, and the Niu sister-in-law and the Chen family also sold for about this amount, which was the most among all of them, which made the eyes of the people around them hot. p>
Under the eyes and greetings of everyone, Lan Yi promised to teach several families how to make sauerkraut in the afternoon, and then returned home with her two children. p>
When they got to the kang, the three of them sat down and opened the money bag and poured out the silver, and there was a note at the bottom of the bag. p>
The note was written by Cheng Beiyou, inviting Lan Yi to gather at Lexiangju tomorrow. p>
Lan Yi smiled, it seems that she guessed correctly, this trip must be to learn how to make sauerkraut, it seems that this time there will be a sum of money in the account. p>
"Mother, how much silver is this?" Yu'er saw her mother looking at Yinzi and laughing, and hurriedly asked. p>
Lan Yi counted the silver for them one by one and said, "Twenty taels, what do Yu'er and her brother want to buy?" ”p>
When the baby heard this, he quickly clapped his hands and shouted, "Mom...... Mom...... "P>
Lan Yi's face was black: "Baby, it's a 'horse', we don't have enough money to buy a horse." A good horse costs seventy or eighty taels of silver, and besides, we have a little donkey, so there is no need to buy a horse. ”p>
As soon as the baby heard that he didn't buy it, he immediately pouted and was unhappy, he recently liked the big horse more than the little donkey, but too many words would not be expressed. p>
Yu'er heard that the horse was so valuable, and asked with starry eyes: "Mother, is the big dark horse of the Tuesday uncle's family a good horse?" ”p>
"I guess so." The black horse has a well-proportioned and beautiful body, and it should be more than that. p>
"Mother, the big black horse gave birth to a pony, let's use the lamb in the belly of the three baba to exchange it with Tuesday Uncle, two for one." Yu'er played her own little abacus, and Sanba had a baby sheep in her belly, and her mother said that it was two, and it was appropriate to exchange two lambs for a pony. p>
Lan Yi looked at him like this, and reached out to scratch his little nose: "Tuesday's big black horse of the Bo family is the same as our family's big baa, Yu'er miscalculated." ”p>
Yu'er's little face wrinkled into a bun when she heard this: "Why don't you raise a pony on Tuesday?" ”p>
Lan Yi smiled: "Yu'er, it's 'a horse' and not 'a horse', you are wrong again." Baby, is my brother stupid? ”p>
The baby nodded seriously: "Stupid!" ”p>
Yu'er smiled, looked at the silver and thought about it, and said to Lan Yi: "Mother, let's not buy horses." You go buy beautiful clothes and flowers to wear. "PS: Thank you for the peace charm of Miracle Life 123, thank you for your support along the way. p>
