A strong farm girl is busy getting rich
Chapter 6 Going to Town to Sell Wild Boars
Shen Qingfeng didn't ask any more questions and said, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."
"it is good!"
Shen Qingqian breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Also, we can't let mother and the others know about this, otherwise we will get nothing!"
Xu Guihua married Shen Qingqian when she was very young, so she and her brothers and sisters have always called Xu Guihua "Mom", even behind her back.
Shen Qingfeng naturally agreed with Shen Qingqian's opinion. The stepmother was partial, whether it was clothes or things, Shen Jiao and Shen Mei were much better than Shen Qingqian!
Not to mention Shen Mei, she is also their sister, but Shen Jiao has no blood relationship with them, but she is the one treated the best in the Shen family!
Shen Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Well, let's not go get it today. Let's go up the mountain early tomorrow, get the wild boar and take it directly to the town to sell it."
"Well, okay, I'll listen to my second brother."
Shen Qingqian quickly responded. She told so many lies today, it was really hard for her!
At the hour of Yin the next day, the brother and sister quietly went out.
Shen Qingqian asked Shen Qingfeng to take the carrying pole, and after the wild boar was taken out, the two of them worked together to carry the wild boar down the mountain using the carrying pole.
Shen Qingfeng looked at Shen Qingqian's thin body and didn't want her to do such heavy work, so he refused directly.
Shen Qingfeng suggested pushing a cart, parking the cart at the foot of the mountain, and then Shen Qingfeng carried the wild boar down the mountain, and the two of them pushed the cart to the town.
Shen Qingqian also thought this was a good idea, so the brother and sister went to the foot of the mountain, found a suitable place to park the cart, and went up the mountain together.
Shen Qingqian brought Shen Qingfeng to the place where the wild boar was buried, dug up the soil, moved the raft away, and the two of them worked together to lift the wild boar up.
Shen Qingqian said: "Second brother, do we need to fill up this hole?"
Shen Qingfeng observed it for a while and said, "No need, just put the raft on top and cover it with soil.
I see that the bottom of this pit is a stone slab, which is perfect for storing things. We can keep it and store anything good when we find it."
What a good idea!
Shen Qingqian thought to herself, this second brother is really a smart guy!
Shen Qingfeng was very strong. He could carry a 200-pound wild boar and walk without even breathing hard.
Shen Qingqian followed behind him, looking at him with admiration, and liked this second brother very much.
In late autumn, the days were getting shorter. It was still dark when the two of them came down the mountain.
The brother and sister put the wild boar on a cart, one pushed it and the other pulled it, and they walked towards the town.
Shenjia Village was about 20 miles away from Ping'an Town. They stopped three times along the way and it took them nearly two hours to reach the town.
When Shen Qingfeng and Shen Qingqian arrived in the town, it was already bright.
Most of the shops on the street are open and there are many pedestrians on the street.
The street vendors shouted loudly:
"Baozi, big buns fresh from the pot!"
"Wontons, five cents for a big bowl!"
"Beautiful hairbands, silk flowers, and hairpins!"
"..."
It is a prosperous scene.
The roads in the town are paved with bluestone and are easy to walk on.
Unlike the road they came from, it was all dirt road, bumpy and very difficult to pull the car.
The brother and sister came to a restaurant called Lan Ya Ju. There were no customers in the morning and the front of the restaurant was deserted.
"Little sister, wait here, I'll go in and ask." Shen Qingfeng said.
"it is good!"
Shen Qingfeng went in and came out after a while.
"Brother, how is it? Do they accept it?"
Seeing Shen Qingfeng coming out, Shen Qingqian hurriedly went up to him and asked.
Shen Qingfeng said: "I will buy it, but the price they offer is too low.
Ordinary pork costs 20 wen per pound, and this wild boar meat is rare, so it should cost at least 25 wen per pound, but they only give 18 wen. Let's go to another store and ask!"
"Well, the town is so big, let's ask more, we can't sell it at a loss!" Shen Qingqian also agreed.
The two went to another restaurant called Xiangmanlou.
Shen Qingqian was still waiting outside, so Shen Qingfeng went in to ask.
After a while, a middle-aged man came out with Shen Qingfeng.
"Manager Zhou, this is our wild boar meat, take a look!"
Shen Qingfeng pointed at the wild boar on the cart and said to the middle-aged man.
Shopkeeper Zhou looked carefully at the wild boar on the cart, nodded and said, "Well, not bad. I'll charge you 25 cents per pound. If you agree, just follow me and carry it to the backyard!"
Shen Qingfeng quickly said, "I agree. Let's do as Shopkeeper Zhou says. We'll take it over right away!"
After weighing the wild boar in the backyard of Xiangmanlou, it weighed a total of 196 kilograms and was sold for nearly five taels of silver!
After coming out of Xiangmanlou, Shen Qingqian went to the street and bought ten meat buns.
"Brother, I've been busy since midnight and I'm almost starving. Let's eat something quickly!"
Shen Qingfeng asked, "You bought so much, can we finish it?"
"I'll take the rest back and give them to my elder sister and Liangzi."
Shen Qingqian took a big bite of the bun and said.
Liangzi is Shen Qinglan's three-year-old son. Because he has no father, he takes Shen Lan's surname and is named Shen Liang.
In the past few years, Shen Qinglan has been relying on embroidery to earn some family income and support her and her mother, and her life has been very hard.
However, with Shen Qingfeng protecting them, no one dared to bully them, an orphan and a widow.
"Oh, second brother, let's go to the cloth shop later and buy some cloth and cotton to make cotton-padded clothes for big sister and Liangzi. The weather is getting colder."
"Then why don't you make one for yourself? Look at your clothes, they are all patched up!" Shen Qingfeng looked at her and said.
"Oh, forget it! Living under the same roof with the three of them, if I change into new clothes, Xu Guihua will definitely think that you saved up your private money and spent it on me. I'm too lazy to deal with her!"
Shen Qingfeng also knew that Shen Qingqian was telling the truth. Last time, he spent ten cents to buy a wooden hairpin for Shen Qingqian. When Xu Guihua found out about it, she scolded him for a long time in a sarcastic tone.
If Shen Qingqian put on a new dress again, who knows what kind of commotion it would cause!
Moreover, Xu Guihua has always been the head of the family. The stepmother is also the mother, and she often has to be subordinate to her.
The two came to a cloth shop called Yunshang and bought three catties of cotton and six feet of cotton cloth, which cost a total of 120 coins.
"Boss, can you please make it a little cheaper? One hundred wen is ok?" Shen Qingqian bargained.
The shopkeeper was a woman in her early thirties who looked very good-natured. She smiled and said, "Girl, the profit margin of this cotton cloth is very slim. We can't make much money in total. One hundred coins is not enough!
How about this, I'll give you 110 cents, that's the lowest!"
Shen Qingqian also smiled and said, "Okay then! But do you have a bundle here? Can you give me one? This cotton is so white, I'm afraid it will get dirty if I don't wrap it up!"
The shopkeeper was also a straightforward person. He agreed immediately and said, "Okay, I'll give you one. You must come to me to buy cloth next time!"
"Of course, thank you, shopkeeper!" Shen Qingqian said happily.
After coming out of the cloth shop, the two prepared to go back. Shen Qingfeng still had to work at Landlord Liu's house!
