13 And I want to continue to be a fool
"This is an apple?!" Steward Zhao's eyes were the first to focus on the apple, and he reached out to take it.
Shen Shuangshuang handed the basket forward for Steward Zhao to take.
"Yes." He replied with a smile.
Steward Zhao took the apple in his hand and his eyes were amazed.
"This fruit grows so well!" Exclaimed.
The apple trees on the Zhuangzi were brought by the old man from other places through a friend.
This year, the fruit finally bears fruit, but the fruit is green and small, and the taste is very poor.
This fruit is even bigger and redder than the ones brought by my old friend.
"How many do you have? How are you going to sell it? Soon, Steward Zhao asked Shen Shuangshuang.
Shen Shuangshuang saw that Steward Zhao had a "soft spot" for Apple, and guessed that the value of Apple should be higher.
After hesitating for a moment, there was no offer.
"I still have a lot of these fruits in my family, if you can see it, give a real price, and I will give it to you in the future." Shen Shuangshuang said.
Large households, more people consume a lot.
Besides, it is also excellent to give away fruits, and it is not too much to buy a few dozen catties.
Steward Zhao looked at Shen Shuangshuang, and saw Shen Shuangshuang smiling brightly at him, knowing that this little lady was not easy to fool.
glanced at Shen Shuangshuang's cart again, as well as a few baskets of fruits on the cart, and finally spoke.
"Apples are fifteen wen a catty, grapes are ten wen, and pears are four wen."
Shen Shuangshuang's face was stunned.
"Done! How much do you want! "Answered.
My mother-in-law said before that the most expensive pork fat is only 16 wen a catty, and pork fat is 14 wen.
The price of apples is comparable to that of pork, and she is satisfied.
As for grapes and pears, the price is actually not low. After all, waiting for the ox cart from the official road at the entrance of the village, it is only a penny to take the ox cart to the town.
"Apples are all for it. Twenty pounds of grapes and five pounds of pears. Zhao said.
Shen's eyes lit up.
"Okay! That's what you want! Hurry up.
Steward Zhao responded with a smile and told the cook to go back to the courtyard to get the containers.
Only then did the cook come back to her senses and turn away.
Before leaving, he glanced at Shen Shuangshuang's fruit basket several times.
Obediently, fifteen cents and one pound of fruit, she got such a big one. It's estimated that there must be four or five taels......
When the cook brought a few people to bring the containers, Shen Shuangshuang began to weigh the fruits.
A total of 55 catties of apples, 20 catties of grapes, and 5 catties of pears.
Steward Zhao didn't know when he took out a small abacus from his arms and fiddled with it.
"The total is one tael of silver and forty-five pennies." The results were quickly calculated.
Shen Shuangshuang took out a small notebook from his arms, calculated it in person, and found that the amount was correct.
"Yes, thank you Steward Zhao!" Put away the small book and said to Zhao Steward.
Steward Zhao put away his curiosity about Shen Shuangshuang's little book, and didn't believe that Zhao Shuangshuang would calculate the result so quickly.
"Give you money." As he spoke, he pulled money out of his pocket.
a tael of broken silver, and forty-five plates of brass.
Shen Shuangshuang took it with both hands and thanked him again.
Steward Zhao then instructed his subordinates to carry the fruits they bought to the backyard.
"You say, do you still have these fruits at home?" stepped forward again and asked Shen Shuangshuang.
"Well, there is!" Shen Shuangshuang hurriedly said.
"After that three days, you will come again." Zhao said.
The old ladies and gentlemen must be satisfied with this batch of fruits, and they will definitely have to ask for them later.
"Done!" Shen Shuangshuang immediately responded.
Then he said goodbye to Steward Zhao and continued to sell fruits on a cart.
Next, in the same alley, Shen Shuangshuang did not sell apples again.
It wasn't until another alley that I took out the rest of the apples and sold them.
Along the way, the three fruits got similar quotes.
Apples are between 14 and 20 wen, grapes are between 9 and 12 wen, and pears are between 3 and 5 wen.
Every time Shen Shuangshuang made a transaction, he would write down the transaction price and address afterwards, and ask the host if he would want fruit next time, so that he could continue to come to the door next time.
These wealthy people buy a lot of money, and most of them are willing to buy it again in a few days.
In the end, it only took Shen Shuangshuang more than an hour to sell all the fruits.
By this time the sun was already growing.
Shen Shuangshuang took the basket, basket, and cart back into the space together, and quickly rushed to Xishi with the basket on his back.
When we arrived at the West Market, the market was almost scattered.
The meat stalls in the meat selling area also collected a lot, and there were not many stalls with meat left, and most of the remaining ones were bones and lean meat.
Shen Shuangshuang regretted that he didn't come over earlier to grab the lard, so in desperation, he could only buy some bones and lean meat.
After buying meat, Shen Shuangshuang went to the grocery store to buy oil lamps and lamp oil.
Then, follow the list you have made earlier and start your big purchase.
By the time everything was basically bought, it was already noon.
Seeing a steamed bun shop on the side of the road, thinking that his mother-in-law and son must not have eaten at home, Shen Shuangshuang went to buy three big bags of steamed buns.
When I passed by a pastry shop, I went to buy some pastries before walking briskly in the direction of the West City Gate.
The back basket was loaded with heavy goods, and Shen Shuangshuang was both tired and happy.
After leaving the city gate, Shen Shuangshuang chose to take an ox cart.
Not far outside the city gate, there are ox carts waiting for customers, and when the guests are full, they will send people off along the official road.
Dahe Village follows the official road and goes back by car, as long as a copper plate.
After Shen Shuangshuang paid for the ox cart, the old man who was driving the cart set off after a while.
Because it was too late at this time, there were only three passengers in the car, including Shen Shuangshuang.
"Sister, where are you in Dahe Village?" A middle-aged woman saw that Shen Shuangshuang had bought a lot of things, and asked.
"Lee's." Shen Shuangshuang replied. Dahe Village is a big village, and there are many people with the surname Li.
"Eldest sister, which village are you from?" Shen Shuangshuang asked with a smile. Take the opportunity to change the subject.
When the middle-aged woman reported her village and said that she knew someone in Dahe Village, Shen Shuangshuang immediately asked the middle-aged woman about the situation in the village, and then diverted the topic again.
In this way, when Shen Shuangshuang got out of the car, none of the people in the car could ask for any other news about her.
After saying goodbye to the two women in the car, and after turning around, Shen Shuangshuang put away the smile on his face.
The identity of the fool is very good, and she is not ready to reveal her identity for the time being......
On the way back to the village, Shen Shuangshuang was extra careful.
In addition, the sun was scorching at this time, and the people in the village had basically gone home, and the Shen family was on the edge of the village, and no one really saw Shen Shuangshuang.
As soon as Shen Shuangshuang entered the courtyard, he saw his son running towards him shouting.
"Mother! It's my mother back! The little radish head was very happy to see Shen Shuangshuang, and rushed over and fell into Shen Shuangshuang's arms.
Shen Shuangshuang couldn't care about getting tired, so he picked up Li Ling and walked to the room where Shen was in the scorching heat.
"You're back?" Shen Shi heard the movement and asked happily.
"Well, I'm back." Shen Shuangshuang responded.
Enter the door, put down Li Ling, and then carry the basket.
"Mother, you're hungry. Eat bun mats. As he spoke, he took out two large bags of steamed buns from the basket.
handed one package to Shen, and then took the buns from the other bag and gave them to Li Ling to eat.
