Chapter 61: Selling Cucumbers
The days pass very fast, the bucket points to the southeast, the dimension is the beginning of summer, and everything has grown up so far.
Father Wang came back from outside with a straw hat and an ear or two of wheat in his hand.
These ears of wheat are hung with full seeds, and only one or two suns are needed for these wheat to be harvested.
An Ran squatted in the yard to pick strawberries, and now the strawberries are ripe and bear a lot of fruit.
"These are packed here, and they will be sold tomorrow, and these cucumbers are really tender."
Liu Chunlan plucked small and tender cucumbers from the vine, and these cucumbers not only bore well, but also fast.
The vines of cucumbers crawled along the shelves all over the melon shed, and the fruits of fruit, the flowering of flowers, each without delay.
"It's so refreshing!" Fang Cuiying has a melon in one hand, and the melon shed above her head is full of hanging melons, dense.
Li Aling looked at baskets of cucumbers full of them, and these melons looked so gratifying.
Wang Yongye took out one from the basket, wiped it on his body casually, and took a sip, the juice was sweet and refreshing.
"This one will definitely sell well in town."
"If you want to eat it, you won't pick it yourself! It will be hung in front of you, and you will have to take it with a long hand and a short hand. Fang Cuiying muttered.
Wang Yongye fed the cucumber he ate to his daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Don't dare next time." ”
Fang Cuiying snorted and took a bite of it happily, crispy and refreshing.
An Ran sighed, dog food, dog food~
The yard was piled with cucumbers and strawberries, basket after basket.
"This fruit is stingy, handle it gently."
Wang Yongan is very careful with strawberries, and he finds that if he knocks them a little, they will be broken, but they will break after a while.
"Family wealth! You're a little thing and you can eat cucumbers! Wen Yuan reached out and snatched the dog's cucumber, causing the dog to chase after him and flutter behind his buttocks.
Seeing that the dog was tired of running, he returned the cucumber to him.
The little black man took his cucumber in his mouth and ran back to his nest.
An Ran shook his head, this cat is disgusted with the age of a dog.
Cucumbers are the fastest seeds in this batch, and they come out a month earlier than the fruits planted by farmers.
There are also melons and vegetables that are in season in summer, such as bitter gourd, loofah, and pumpkin, and now they are also in full bloom.
This is the first batch of vegetables that grow well in the family, and there will be a huge market.
Before dawn, the Wang family began to be busy moving things.
Each person carries a large basket of cucumbers and a small sieve with bright red strawberries.
The boys got up for breakfast, sat in the study room and read, and today Meng Fuzi will smoke his back.
The little black fart followed behind, and it was also going to the market.
An Ran was hugged by Daddy Wang, with a sky-high little tugging in his hair, and a thin cotton shirt with small flowers embroidered by her mother's hand on it.
"Look at these women, they have a lot of strength to pick up so many things."
Fang Cuiying carried two baskets of things, and the cucumbers in the basket were piled up.
The group had not yet entered the bazaar, and the mere fact that the group was carrying something attracted everyone's curiosity.
"What are you selling?" A few old men squinted, they hadn't seen this thing.
"Auntie, this is the cucumber I grow at home."
"What? Cucumber! You bully me for not knowing the season, how long is it to start summer, and it will take a month to eat the spring cucumbers planted! ”
"My family planted early." They did plant early, and they grew quickly, not as slowly as others.
"Come, let's try it, it's delicious and cheap." Wang Yongye stopped on the spot and took out a small cucumber from the basket.
"It's a pity that your melon grows so small, and you pick it before it grows up." The eldest lady took the cucumber, and as long as her palm was concerned, it was still a half-sized cub melon.
"You taste it, this is the breed in my family, and it will grow old when it grows up." Wang Yongye was afraid that everyone would not believe it, so he broke the cucumber with his bare hands, and the crisp sound was very pleasant, and the juice splashed at the same time.
The eldest lady tasted it tentatively, knowing that unripe cucumbers are bitter.
"Hey, how did you grow this melon, it's crisp and raw, and it's a little sweet." In particular, the cucumber flavor is light and not pinched.
"What's the matter, I won't lie to you, it's delicious, take it home and eat it with you, and you can eat it raw."
The eldest lady was a little moved and asked about the price.
"Two pennies and one catty, our weighings are accurate, and there will definitely be no shortage of catties or two."
"Oh, enough is enough, just try it."
The eldest lady saw Wang Yongye put it on the weighing plate with all her strength, and hurriedly grabbed it with her hand, this is two pennies and a catty, she doesn't have so much money.
"What's this? Red and glamorous. The eldest lady was surprised to find a sieve full of red fruits.
"These are berries picked in the mountains, take them back and plant them, and water them with more dung and water to grow well."
"Taste one."
The eldest lady was unwelcome, and when she bit her mouth, it was very sweet and sour.
"How much is this?"
"Twenty Wen."
"Oh, that's more expensive than meat! I don't need money for this, you take the initiative to give me food. ”
Wang Yongye waved his hand, he also knew that ordinary people couldn't afford this thing, and the picture was that it was rare and expensive, and the buyers they set were all big families.
Just carried it all the way to the market, and a large basket was already sold.
As soon as the things were put down, many people came to watch.
Everyone wants to try it, and if you don't taste it, you won't buy it.
Liu Chunlan borrowed a knife and cut the cucumber into small pieces, so that the loss was much smaller.
The crowd gossiped, most of them didn't just taste it, and their eyes were greedy, but it was a pity that their pockets were empty.
Since the conscription at the beginning of the year, the assassination of the county magistrate, the seeds rotting in the ground, and the burning and looting of bandits, these things have made everyone scarry.
"Let's reduce the price, a penny and a pound, the big guys have no money, so they should make a name for themselves."
"But if we reduce the price, everyone will think that our family should be at this price in the future, and we won't be able to increase it if we want to in the future."
Fang Cuiying has some of her own opinions on business, people are like this, the habit of taking advantage is deeply rooted in her bones, if it rises in the future, how many mouths will explain that the big guy will complain.
"Let's sell two articles, how cheap, someone always buys it."
Good things are not worried about sales, and soon there will be porters on the ship, and the purchase of the hotel will come to inquire.
After tasting their melons, they were full of praise, and it happened that there were few vegetables at this time, and they were worried about how to attract customers.
"Give me fifty pounds."
"The eldest brother is a person on the boat, and these cucumbers are eaten on the water, and they will not be bad for several days."
"Big brother, we don't have anything to pretend, you see this basket is worth five cents, it's good to carry it on the boat like this, it's convenient, I'll send it to you later."
The Han people are refreshing, and they eat fish and dried buns every day on the boat, and they have to vomit.
Daddy Wang put An Ran down and helped to pack the cucumbers, each cucumber looked very good, and the small one was satisfactory.
Liu Chunlan was busy filling cucumbers for the purchase in the restaurant, and the scattered individual customers were under the control of Wang Yongping and Wang Yongan.
"Cuiying, come and calculate, I can't figure it out in my head."
It's okay to buy a pound or two, but it's okay to buy a few more people, and I feel like my brain is a mess.
"This forty-six texts, this thirty-six texts."
Enron began to calculate, it was all simple multiplication, and the arithmetic was fast and accurate.
Fang Cuiying calculated it again, surprised! That's the number.
Enron not only had to settle accounts, but also had to stare at whether anyone ate their overlord dishes, and ran away with his things.
Some people saw that they were too busy to count, and they were slow to calculate the money, and they said that they didn't make up the money, and how many catties she had, and they miscalculated.
Everyone is busy and dizzy, and the cucumbers are all picked by themselves, and it is good to pick any one.
An Ran guarded the money jar, if it was taken away by someone, the day would be in vain.
