Chapter 474 Selling Vegetables
I also bought a camel from Guli.
Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin set off with Xu Dashan.
There are three vehicles in total this time. When the vehicles are full, two people can transport them back first.
The other two continued digging in the mine. For this purpose, Xu Wenyan brought a tent and set it up outside the cave.
When I came to the grassland again this time, there were already many white and pink flowers blooming. At a glance, it looked like stars dotted in the green ocean.
Really beautiful.
"Brother Chen, you and Xiao Luo set up the tent, and big brother, you come with me up the mountain." Xu Wenyan directed in an orderly manner.
After going up the mountain, Xu Dashan and I first measured the length of the rope. The rope alone took up most of the space in the car.
Xu Wenyan was afraid that the rope was not long enough and he would have to go back again.
After everything is confirmed, we start to fix the pulley assembly with steel nails.
It was also the first time that Xu Dashan saw this strange thing. It was not until he tested it and the backpack slid down from the rope that Xu Dashan realized how ingenious this thing was.
After everything was ready, several people started to act.
The thing about this job is that it is boring and laborious.
But if it weren't for the fact that the ancients were hardworking, after staying here for a long time, Xu Wenyan's temper has slowed down and he is no longer so impatient.
Xu Wenyan’s idea was to dig here for a week and rest for two days, which was just enough time for two trips back and forth.
The two of them can interact with Xiaoman and Luo Sanyuan.
After all, Xu Wenyan still has to make the decision on some things in the yard.
I was busy like this for half a month.
Xu Wenyan also took Xu Dashan and Luo Feng on two trips, so at least they wouldn't get lost next time.
The ore that was brought back was difficult to process, and Xu Wenyan also realized that he did not have enough tools. He could not handle the job using only the basins and buckets at home and those borrowed from the village.
The sulfur and carbon have been almost ground, so Xu Wenyan has to go to the county today.
There is still a lot to do.
The first step is to ask a blacksmith to make a dozen square boxes. The advantage of iron square boxes is that they can collect more saltpeter and are also more durable.
Having the right tools will make things easier.
The second was to get the three truckloads of sulfur from the pharmacy owner.
The third is selling vegetables.
Yesterday, the six men picked a lot of vegetables together. Although Xu Dashan is not as good as others, this kind of vegetables is better than those grown by Xu Wenyan.
The main products sold are cucumbers, corn, tomatoes and water spinach.
For example, Xu Wenyan plans to make the pumpkins into dehydrated vegetables, so there is no need to sell them.
With a full car of vegetables, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin set off early in the morning.
After arriving in Lan County, the car was stopped by soldiers.
"It's just a routine inspection. Please cooperate."
Two officers opened the carriage and were stunned to see the vegetables piled up with wooden boards inside.
"Where did you get all these vegetables? Why so many?"
Xu Wenyan grabbed five or six tomatoes from the basket and handed them to the soldiers: "They are all grown by my family. I want to sell them in the county."
The soldier took a bite of the persimmon, which was juicy and refreshing. "Oh, I haven't eaten this for many years. Let's go in."
When leaving, Xu Wenyan left some cucumbers for the officers and soldiers.
It is very important to have good relations with these soldiers guarding the city.
Xu Wenyan stopped at the door of Uncle Mulati's house and took down the prepared basket of vegetables.
"Uncle Murati!" Xu Wenyan placed the basket of vegetables on Murati's meat stall.
Murati smiled and walked forward to hug Xu Wenyan: "I haven't been to the county for a long time. Alang at home misses you guys."
"Hey, where did you get these dishes?"
"I grew these and brought them to Uncle Murati to taste."
Mulati was stunned and picked up the basket to take a look. Many of the vegetables in it were not ones he recognized.
"These must cost a lot of money. They are so precious."
Xu Wenyan waved his hand and said, "Hey Uncle Murati, I'm just here to take advantage of you. I grew all these vegetables myself.
I want to set up a stall to sell vegetables here. Isn't your stall crowded?
I was thinking of taking advantage of this.”
"Hahaha." Xu Wenyan's words really made Mulati laugh: "Okay, okay, you can have it. I'll have lunch at my uncle's house and let you buy the delicious food that Aunt Li made for you."
"to make!"
After finishing all this, Xu Wenyan and Chen Sanlin unloaded the carriage and led the horses to Murati's yard.
Once you lift the curtain, you can sell it directly.
Just as I finished cleaning up, I saw an old customer coming to Murati's house to buy meat.
Xu Wenyan didn't understand what he said, and in the end it was Mulati who helped explain it.
"Xiao Chen, he asked how much the cucumbers were."
Comparing the prices, Xu Wenyan was selling cucumbers at ten cents per pound. After he told the woman the price, she thought it was reasonable and also ordered a pound of cucumbers.
Afterwards, I weighed some mutton at Murati's shop.
"Uncle Mulati, is my price too low?" Xu Wenyan was originally planning to bargain with the woman, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
Murati shook his head: "This price is moderate. When potatoes come out in a while, one pound will cost four cents.
People here are not good at bargaining, and these things are all grown with our own hard work.
If you think it’s suitable, buy it; if you think it’s not suitable, don’t buy it.”
"I see."
Xu Wenyan was not very used to using this ancient scale, but fortunately Chen Sanlin knew how to use it.
The aunt had already attracted a lot of people's attention when she was paying.
It’s not that there are no places selling vegetables in the county, but there are too few, and the variety is far less than what Xu Wenyan has here.
Fortunately, most people can speak Chinese.
“How much is corn?”
Xu Wenyan held up five fingers: "Five cents each."
This price had actually discouraged some people. Just as everyone was hesitating, a middle-aged man walked out from the crowd.
"I'll take as many as you can get."
It is obvious that this person is from Central Plains. In fact, these people are also Xu Wenyan’s main sales group.
There are really too few things that the local villagers can afford, but these people who come here to do business are different.
Maybe they brought a lot of food when they first came, but now they have no fresh vegetables to eat.
They don't mind the money, as long as it can satisfy their appetite.
When everyone saw that he was going to take all the corn, they no longer cared about how expensive it was.
"How could you do this? What will we buy after you finish shopping?" several young people in the crowd accused.
The middle-aged man looked nonchalant: "You can't afford it, right? It just so happens that I'm taking care of the store's business."
The middle-aged man took out a tael of silver and said, "Pack me some more tomatoes and water spinach, and use up all of this tael."
"By the way, are you responsible for the delivery?"
Xu Wenyan smiled and explained patiently: "It's not included in the package because it's not convenient for just my brother and I."
"Oh, okay, okay, hurry up and put it on."
At first everyone thought that this was Xu Wenyan's agent, but when they saw that he really took out the money, everyone stopped talking and started doing it themselves.
What you get is what you get.
But everyone is honest and queues up obediently.
If you ask why he is so obedient.
The first person who was about to run was picked up by Chen Sanlin like a chicken.
