Chapter 727 - Collecting Mountain Goods
I nodded slightly. Because of the 500 yuan, the owner of the store didn't know how happy he was, so he directly closed the door of the store, stopped buying and selling, and took me and Pan Donghan home directly.
The owner of this small shop is not far from this neighborhood. It is a small bungalow with a yard. When I walked in, the yard was filled with the smell of.
But what is particularly curious is that the owner of this small store is in his 40s and has two children on his doorstep. The older one is a girl, who looks like she can be eleven or twelve years old. The little girl sat at the doorway and washed her clothes in a large iron basin. The little girl was carrying a little boy of three or four years old on her back.
This is what used to be very typical for big children with small children, and girls with younger brothers.
I couldn't resist asking the owner of the shop.
"Are these two children your baby?"
The commissary owner nodded.
"The eldest daughter's name is Chunhua, and the youngest son's name is Youcai."
The owner of this commissary turned out to have two children. But why can't you see a woman in the yard!
"Don't you have any daughters in your family?" I couldn't help but ask the doubts in my mind.
The commissary owner listened to me. Suddenly, there was a frown.
"Brother, this is the first time you two have come up to the mountain to receive the goods!"
I immediately nodded, "yes, yes! Actually, the two of us are not professional recipients."
I know that Pan Donghan and I are both first-time. Let's just say that the two of us are actors, no matter how well we disguise ourselves, since we have never been in the mountains, we will still leak out.
So I'm not completely lying. I will tell half the truth and half the falsehood.
I said, "This is indeed the first time that the two of us have come up to the mountain to receive the goods. Truth be told, this is just one of our attempts.
We are the people of Dongcheng at the foot of the mountain, and when we were in the market, we ate dried pears by chance. Oops, that thing is sweet and sour, it tastes so good!
I'm telling you, people in your village probably don't know. Dried pears are expensive to sell at the bottom of the mountain. The one you got in your village is all whole pears, with two small openings on them, and then they are dried, and they don't have cores yet. It's big, dry and affordable, and there are a lot of finished products out there, that is, the kind of dried fruits that are finely packaged.
One by one, slices again, and what! The price is too expensive, and it is not as delicious as the one in your village.
Me and my brother, I think you can see it too. The conditions of the two of us are quite good, we do not rely on the business of making mountain goods, we have other big business at the foot of the mountain.
I just want to buy a few hundred catties of dried pears from your mountain, and go back and pack them. Then I put on a high-end gift box, some of which I can give to customers, and some of which I can get to sell at a high price in a boutique."
Anyway, I'm a mess, a piece of nonsense.
The owner of this small shop probably didn't understand what I meant. What is a high-end gift box, and a boutique.
Anyway, he finally understands now that Pan Donghan and I are not ordinary peddlers. We are big customers who are a little bit of money going up the hill for the first time.
The owner of the shop nodded, and then said to the two of us.
"Since this is your first time going up the mountain, there are many rules in our village that you don't understand.
Tomorrow I will take you from house to house to collect dried pears. At that time, I said to the villagers, you just nod your head on the side. Don't come and talk!
There are a lot of rules in our village, and if outsiders talk nonsense and annoy the villagers of our village, I'm afraid you won't have a chance to go down the mountain!
I see that you two are decent people, and you give me so much money. Don't worry, I'm going to entertain you these days! I'll do everything I can to protect you.
It's just that if you think that the pears in our village are good, if you go up the mountain again in the future, remember to live in my house again!"
The owner of this small store will be coaxed when the time comes. Hear him say that, I
Immediately, he took out another 1,000 yuan from his arms, and then stuffed it into the hands of the shopkeeper.
The owner of the store looked at the red ticket in his hand, and his eyes were red.
In a small mountain village like theirs, to be honest, the circulation of money is not very common. Families don't have much money. 1,000 yuan is a lot for them, which is equivalent to a strong and powerful man in the prime of life, more than a month's hard income! qδ.net
The owner of the shop saw the money and immediately told us to wander around the yard. He said he was going to the village chief's house to borrow meat.
The shopkeeper explained.
"We are poor, and we don't eat meat except during the New Year's holidays. Anyway, I can't eat it once a month.
In our village, the conditions of the village chief's family can be better. A few days ago, his daughter-in-law just gave birth to a grandson, who is the first grandson. Their family killed a pig, and now the whole village is estimated to have meat from the village chief's family!"
The shopkeeper said, and then hurriedly ran out of his house with his free hands.
Pan Donghan and I stood a little embarrassed, and turned our heads to look at the little girl who was squatting at the door to wash clothes and carrying her younger brother on her back.
I couldn't help but ask the little girl.
"You wash so many clothes alone!"
The little girl nodded.
I asked her again.
"What about your mother? Why didn't your mother help you?"
