Chapter 23: Homemade dried cherries
For a farmer who lives on the land, it is very important for them to have enough sharp farming tools and a ploughing ox, so they pay great attention to the maintenance of farm tools and the feeding of ploughing cattle.
Although Lin Wan'er's family planted five acres of wheat, their farm tools have been corroded and rusted, and they are so rotten that they can break off a large piece with a pinch, and there is no need to sharpen it for a long time, if they take it to the town, it is a waste of money.
Moreover, their family only has a few children, and they are facing a serious shortage of labor, even if they spend a lot of money to buy new farm tools, someone has to harvest them.
Gorou was very interested in farming, and asked Grandpa Niu a lot of things to pay attention to in this regard, and the two of them did not stop on the topic of farming along the way, and before he knew it, the ox cart arrived at the city gate of Pingyang Town.
After separating from Grandpa Niu, Gorou took his younger siblings and carried baskets on their backs and followed the flow of people into the city.
Goro Rokuro and the adults in the village had come to Pingyang Town to sell vegetables a few times before, so they were naturally familiar with the way here, so they led one by one, found a lively place on the side of the road to set up a stall, and put the cabbage from home into a pile neatly, and began to shout.
"Chinese cabbage, Chinese cabbage, fresh Chinese cabbage, two catties a penny, don't miss it, after this stall, there is no such cheap price." Rokuro has a loud voice, so the shouting work is left to him.
"Hey, little baby, what's this red thing?" An elderly woman, holding a vegetable basket in her hand, noticed this side after hearing Liulang's loud voice, but compared to the cabbage, she was more interested in the red things in this jar, and she knew that it was a rarity at a glance.
"Grandma, this is our family's own dried cherries, how do you taste it, if it's good, it's good to go home and make snacks for your little grandson." Lin Wan'er saw that someone was interested in her family's dried cherries, so she smiled and said, anyway, there is no cost in this cherry, at most, it is Wulang Liulang and the two of them have made some effort to pick the cherries back and dry them into dried cherries.
The old woman picked up a small dried cherry and put it in her mouth and tasted it, sweet and sour, a fresh fragrance in her mouth, the taste is indeed good, buy some home just to give her little grandson to relieve his hunger, as a small snack to eat.
"How do you sell these cherries?" The old woman asked.
"Fifteen cents a pound, if you want it, I'll weigh you?" Lin Wan'er asked, this cherry can weigh a lot of dried cherries, Lin Wan'er set the price at fifteen yuan to test other people's tone, if the other party is really too expensive, she can also make some adjustments to keep the price down.
However, her follow-up trick did not come in handy, and the other party was obviously happy to accept the price after hearing her offer.
"Then bring me two catties, just take them home and give my old man a taste." The old woman was very happy that she could buy such a rare thing, and she wanted to weigh two catties immediately.
For a modern person, this primitive wooden pole scale with a scale, she said that she was completely powerless, she only knew electronic scales.
Fortunately, there is a Gorou weighing among them, otherwise how would the things in this stall be sold to others.
