Chapter 25 Piracy and Hoarding
Xu Ling's heart was hot, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be suppressed.
With this money, he can give Bao Yuan the pears from Mrs. Li's house, as well as the pears from Grandpa Hutoutang's house.
If all these pears were packaged, he might be able to earn forty taels of silver at once and go straight home!
Xu Ling fantasized about the beautiful scene of the future and fell asleep like this.
By the time he arrived at Qinghe Town, it was already dark, the twilight was blank, and the people returning home were scattered like caged birds, looking for directions and leaving.
Xu Ling is still alone, it is so late at this time, the city gate should be about to close, if he rushes to Lijiazhuang, he is afraid that he will not be able to enter the town when he comes back, so don't go and cause trouble to others.
He went to the inn where he lived, but this time he didn't live in a chase shop, but asked for a low-class room, ordered two side dishes, three steamed buns, and the shopkeeper sent a pot of hot tea.
Xu Ling bolted the doors and windows, lit the candles, brought the two dishes to the chairs, and poured all the money in the space on the table.
He held a steamed bun in one hand, pulled two mouthfuls of vegetables from time to time, and counted the money while chewing.
One article, two articles, three articles......
This strange dynasty in the air, although it is the world in the book, is very similar to the ancient times he understands, at least he can recognize the words here, and many objects are also familiar, Xu Ling These people walked around, inquired about many things, and inferred from some items that did not exist, this strange Yong Dynasty was somewhat similar to the two Song Dynasty he knew.
The commodity economy is developed, and the ranking of Shinong industry and commerce is unshakable......
The money here is basically copper and iron, supplemented by small pieces of silver, and paper money, but the face value of paper money is too large, and he has not seen it yet.
Most of the money he received was copper coins, and it was tiring enough to count them, and Xu Ling was tireless.
In the end, there were more than a dozen more than a dozen yuan in the money, and I don't know if he counted it wrong or if someone else gave it too much.
A total of 4,376 texts.
It can be exchanged for four taels of silver, and more than 300 yuan.
The average city's annual income is about 12 to 20, not counting expenses.
If you deduct the expenses, it is already very good to be able to save five or six taels of silver a year.
He earned four taels of silver in less than a week, which should be remarkable, right?
After Xu Ling finished eating, he only left a hundred yuan on his body, and put the rest in the space.
Tomorrow, if he meets someone from the same country at the docks, he plans to send some money to his family.
For the rest of the money, he wants to buy pears and continue to sell them in Lingbao Town.
Autumn is the harvest season, and he can run more places and sell around...... In this way, you should be able to pay off the money in time for winter, right?
Xu Ling lay on the bed and thought about it, and the person fell asleep.
The next day, after breakfast at the inn, he paid thirty yuan for accommodation and meals, and Xu Ling rushed to Lijiazhuang again.
In the past few days, he has come to Lijiazhuang a lot of times, and the village knows that he is a merchant who comes to collect pears, so as soon as he sees him, some people in the village are curious to come to Mrs. Li's house and ask him if he wants pears.
There are five pear trees in Mrs. Li's house, Xu Ling naturally wants to cover them all, thanks to the help of Mrs. Li's family, and the pears in Hutoutang's grandfather's house, the quality is not bad, he picks up the good ones, and the price is willing to be more expensive, and the people in the village naturally want to sell them to him.
"This year is a good year, every family has a lot of pear trees hanging fruits, the branches are broken, there are many pears, and the price is cheap!"
This kind of truth is also understood by the people in the village.
Xu Ling chatted with them while picking fruits from the pear tree, don't want the ones with insect eyes and the ugly ones, so carefully selected, it is inevitable that there will be some waste, Xu Ling said that after a pound of three dollars, Grandpa Hutoutang will no longer say anything.
On this day, Xu Ling carried his burden in and out of Lijiazhuang, and some women in the village who planned to sell pears helped pick pears together, and his speed was much faster.
Lunch was eaten at Hutoutang's grandfather's house, and Mrs. Li hadn't come back from visiting relatives, Hutou's mother's cough became more and more serious, and even Hutou was eating at his grandfather's house.
The meals are all home-cooked, and there is no meat, but the amount is enough, if Xu Ling is not embarrassed, he would want to open his belly and eat happily.
At the dinner table, Xu Ling chatted with the man in Hutou's grandfather's family for a long time, and learned that the old man's surname was Li and his name was Li Ergen, so he followed him to call him Li Er, he had two sons, the eldest ran the dock outside, the second brother farmed at home, and the two daughters-in-law were at home, tidying up the house in an orderly manner.
After eating, Xu Ling began to collect pears again, he was not short of money, this time he planned to run less than two trips, and finally used the four taels of silver he had just earned to buy more than 1,000 catties of high-quality pears.
Several pear trees in Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li's house, except for those that are not yet ripe, the rest have been picked by him.
There are still five or six families in the village, who picked up good quality pears from the tree and sold them to Xu Ling, and they all earned a lot of money.
These pears are tired just by printing, Xu Lingxian printed a batch overnight, and then rushed to Lingbao Town by boat to set up a stall at the foot of Lingbao Temple.
He was busy all day, except for sitting on the boat and staring for a while, the rest of the time he was either on the road or working.
Yawned, Xu Ling hurriedly set up the pears, he came late today, the stall the day before yesterday was occupied, and he had to find another place.
Soon, some familiar scholars came to the foot of the mountain and looked around, Xu Ling also noticed them, and just wanted to wave their hands, he saw them heading elsewhere.
Xu Ling fixed his eyes and saw that the good guy turned out to be a vendor selling pears, and he followed his example and printed words on the pears!
"I'll you!" Although Xu Ling had been mentally prepared, this piracy came too quickly! Thinking of the thousands of catties of autumn pears hoarded in the space, Xu Ling only felt afraid!
"What if I can't sell it?" His capital chain is broken, and the money has become a pear in his hand, and he may lose money!
But soon, Xu Ling calmed himself down, he had space in his hands, even if the pears couldn't be sold now, after this season, others would have no pears to sell, and his pears would still be very valuable.
Can...... Is the family in a hurry?
No, it is still too risky to simply buy and sell.
Xu Ling had to come up with a better idea.
While he was brainstorming, the scholars walked up to his vendor and shouted, "You're finally here!" ”
Xu Ling hurriedly smiled: "Didn't I go home to pick pears?" I'm sorry to keep you waiting! ”
He saw that these people were coming again, and he wondered in his heart, "I just saw a few people go elsewhere, and I am feeling sad, why did you come to me again?" ”
A scholar shook his head and smiled: "You shop, you can change your face really quickly." Yesterday, someone learned that you were the general of the pear king, but their pears are not as good as yours, the words are crooked, and the flowers are not in shape, so they want to learn your skills? ”
