Chapter 6 Picking up bargains everywhere
The next day, Chen Dashan got up early and went to the town to sell mushrooms with a basket on his back.
Now it's mushroom picking season, and they have a wide variety of mushrooms here, and they are delicious.
At this time of year, the big families in the town start buying mushrooms everywhere.
They don't dare to pick it themselves, for fear that if they pick something poisonous, they will eat the dead.
Chen Dashan was originally going to sell mushrooms to restaurants, but he didn't want to be stopped by a small guy from a big family as soon as he arrived in town.
"Big brother, are these mushrooms here to sell?" The little guy asked.
"Uh-huh." Chen Dashan responded.
"Why don't you sell it to me, my old lady wants to drink mushroom soup." The little guy said.
Chen Dashan was honest, thinking that the mushroom soup would not use many mushrooms, so he said: "I'll give you a few, you can take it back and make soup for the old lady." ”
The little guy didn't expect Chen Dashan to be so sincere, and said: "You sell them all to us, who are you selling to?" ”
Chen Dashan smiled and said, "I still come here and wait before dawn, just a few to boil soup." ”
The little guy looked at his mushrooms and said, "How much do you want?" ”
"These mushrooms used to be sold in the restaurant for at least fifty yuan."
"Then I'll give you sixty, and after you pick it, you will send it directly to the Gu family in the west of the town, you look for me, my name is Gu Bao." What is your name? The little guy said.
"My name is Chen Dashan, a native of Hehuan Yang Village." Chen Dashan took sixty texts and followed the little servant to the Gu family in the west of the town.
"Hehuan Yang still has the surname Chen?"
"Yes, there are several surnames." Chen Dashan said to Gu Bao as he walked towards Gu's house.
When he arrived at Gu's house, the little servant vacated the basket for him, and gave him another rice cake, saying, "Big brother is lucky, I met the old lady as soon as I arrived in the yard."
Tell the old lady what happened, and the old lady said that you are a sincere person, and rewarded you with rice cakes. ”
"Thank you, thank you." Chen Dashan thanked him again and again.
"Remember that if you have something next time, send it directly to the Gu Mansion." Gu Bao said.
"Okay." Chen Dashan happily walked away with the basket on his back.
He put the rice cakes in the basket and went to the cloth to pull the cloth.
My mother said that she wanted to make clothes for the little begonia.
Aren't other people's children all old clothes of adults changed and made into small clothes?
The mother still wants to pull the new cloth, just pull it.
Anyway, it's for the girl to make clothes.
And when he came to the cloth, there were all kinds of cloth in the cloth.
He was dazzled.
Coarse cloth is cheap, but my mother said that she wanted fine cloth.
It's also ha, the skin of the little begonia is so delicate, you can't wear coarse cloth, otherwise you can't afford to have ribs?
White cloth does not need to be dyed, it is cheap, but it is not good-looking.
A little girl has to wear colorful clothes to look good.
However, dyed cloth is too expensive.
He picked and chosen, scratching his head anxiously, but he didn't pick out the satisfactory one.
The shopkeeper asked, "Who does the guest officer want to make clothes for?" ”
"I just added a little girl to the house, and I made little clothes for the little girl."
As soon as the shopkeeper heard that it was a newly added population, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Congratulations." ”
"Rejoice and rejoice." Chen Dashan also hurriedly returned the salute clumsily.
The shopkeeper said: "Oh, it just so happens that the embroidery girl in the backyard cuts her clothes, and the size is broken, so it is enough to take it back and change it into small clothes."
The fabric is fine and soft, and it is perfect for making clothes for babies.
If you don't dislike it, you might as well take a look, the material is a good material, and it is also brand new, but it is cut wrong. ”
"Okay, is it cheap?"
"Cheap, of course cheap."
The shopkeeper immediately asked the man to go to the backyard and take out the fabric.
"This kind of fabric costs fifty for one foot, and this piece will be twenty for you."
When Chen Dashan heard this, twenty was not expensive, and the material was really soft to the touch, so he happily gave twenty and left the cloth with the fabric.
When I passed by the grain store, I heard the man shouting for the rice to be sold at a discount.
Soon the new rice will come down, and the old rice will not be easy to sell.
It's better to buy some while it's cheap.
Chen Dashan stepped forward and asked, the rice that was originally six wen a pound is now sold for five wen a catty.
However, the grain came down immediately, and not many people came to buy it.
People from peasant families will not pay for food if they can get by.
Dig up the wild vegetables in the field, pick up the mushrooms on the mountain, tighten your belly, and you can also hold on to new grain.
In a good year, you don't need to buy grain, but in a bad year, food is expensive and you can't afford it.
So when there was a famine, everyone dragged their families around begging for food.
Some families have many children, and the only food ration is only for the children, and many little girls are starved to death.
This is why some families give birth to girls and die directly.
can have a little way to live, who is willing to kill the child?
Tiger poison doesn't eat children.
"Little brother, do you sell it for three pennies a pound?" Chen Dashan asked.
The little girl's face darkened, and he said, "You're not joking, are you?" We have six wen and one pound of rice, and you give three wen and one catty? Why don't you go to the field to pick it up? Guest, how much do you want? ”
Chen Dashan just wanted to say that the rice was picked up in the field, but he didn't expect the little girl to ask him how much?
"I only have forty wen on me."
"Give you fourteen pounds, you can be regarded as buying, I tell you, there are not many.
If the owner hadn't vacated the warehouse, he wouldn't have said anything and wouldn't sell it cheaply. The little guy said that he weighed him numbly.
There really isn't much rice left.
When his proprietor came out of the house, he saw that there was not much rice left in the grain hopper, and said:
"All this rice has been built."
"Hey." The little girl hurriedly scooped out all the rice in the grain hopper.
The bottom of the bucket looked inconspicuous, and it was not finished after scooping up several scoops.
He scooped it and said, "Guest officer, your luck is really good, you have bought more rice than you bought, and you have really made a lot of money." ”
He took up all the rice and weighed it, and said, "Well, the rice you bought is only a pound."
That's a big bargain.
If I had known, I would have bought it myself and resold it to make money. ”
Chen Dashan smiled very happily, it was indeed cheap enough.
Could he not know the price of rice?
In those years, the year was not good, the drought was drought, the waterlogging was waterlogging, and the rice was all seven or eight pounds, and sometimes it was even higher.
This year, the wind and rain are good, the growth of rice is gratifying, and grain prices are estimated to fall.
"The proprietor asked him to vacate the warehouse and prepare to harvest new rice.
Otherwise, how can it be sold cheaply?
However, in business, there are profits and losses, and making money is in front.
If you sweep the tail in the back, you can sell it.
I said guest officer, if you want to buy grain in the future, come to our grain store, remember, our grain shop is called Yongxing grain shop.
Our hosts are good people. The guy pointed to the plaque on the door and said to Chen Dashan.
"Holo." Chen Dashan immediately responded.
He also saw that the owner of this grain store was a good person.
He happily walked away with a cloth bag on his back.
When I got home, I had to hurry up and go to the rice, and I could eat the rice at noon.
In addition, the rice bran can be used to feed the chickens.
