“You also know about ice cubes!”

The boy has delicate features and a noble air.

I don’t think he’s a prince or nobleman, as that usually happens in novels.

"If you keep this strawberry at home in the winter, it can still produce a few fruits. In order to keep them for the New Year, I tried using ice cubes at home. They can be kept fresh for about 5 days, but they cannot be bruised."

Leng Ruoxue had no choice but to make up an explanation that she thought was reasonable.

The boy looked at the little bean sprout. Although her clothes were simple, she was clean, with rosy lips and white teeth, and she didn't look shy at all.

He looked at himself curiously.

"I want all the fruit. How many I want? How long will it take to prepare it?"

Leng Ruoxue thought about it and realized that with more than a hundred baskets, it would take several trips for her to pull the ox cart.

"I don't have that many baskets at home. How about 100 coins per pound? That way it will be delivered in about half an hour."

The young man glanced at the shopkeeper standing next to him.

"That's fine. It's inconvenient to transport so many baskets."

The shopkeeper thought for a moment and replied.

Leng Ruoxue walked out of the restaurant, found an empty alley, and started entering the space to load strawberries onto the ox cart.

Fortunately, when she came out of the valley, she took everything she could use.

There are several backpacks.

She poured the food into the backpack one basket at a time.

I also picked all the ripe fruits in the space.

It took me more than an hour to finish.

Seeing that there was no one outside, he released the ox cart and drove to the teahouse.

The guy waiting at the door took Leng Ruoxue to the backyard. The shopkeeper came out to check the goods and found that the quality was no different. Only then was he satisfied and asked someone to weigh them.

"A total of 102 jin, ... 5 liang is wen, little girl, you can do the math too."

The shopkeeper looked at Leng Ruoxue.

"Since the shopkeeper has included the weight of the backpack, then the two baskets of strawberries that the waiter just brought in don't need to be counted. Just 5 taels and wen!"

The shopkeeper was just about to wipe off the hundred-cent note, but after Leng Ruoxue said that, he felt embarrassed to touch it again. He forgot that the waiter had just taken two baskets of fruit.

"Will this fruit still be available in the future?"

The shopkeeper didn't know whether the strawberry grew on a tree or in the soil, so he asked casually.

"We can pick about 10 kilograms of rice every days."

If Leng Ruoxue expands the strawberry planting, the output of her space should be more, but if the output is too large, she won’t be able to sell it at a good price.

"It's a little too little, but if you can plant more in the future, we can harvest it all."

"How much do you want?"

Leng Ruoxue's eyes lit up.

"Yes"

The shopkeeper was happy. Strawberries are expensive for ordinary people, but they are not expensive for rich people.

Even if he uses ice and half of it is lost on the way, it's not expensive.

What rich people eat is fresh and rare.

"Still 50 cents a pound?"

"Yes, but you can only sell your fruit to our family. Can your family do that?"

"My family can do it, but if we plant too much and the shopkeeper doesn't collect it, won't we be wasting our time and land? If we have a deed, my family can supply 100 to 200 kilograms every ten days."

"The little girl knows about the deed book? But can she read?"

The shopkeeper was curious.

“I know a little bit, but not much”

"No wonder, we can sign a contract."

After the shopkeeper calculated the silver and money for Leng Ruoxue, they signed a contract. However, Leng Ruoxue made a change, stating that the supply would only be for one year and the fruit could not be smaller than a copper coin.

Goods are delivered once every ten days, and each time must not be less than 100 kilograms. The shopkeeper must also accept any excess.

The price was kept secret by both parties, and the party that breached the contract had to pay the other party one hundred taels of silver in compensation.

The shopkeeper smiled as he held the deed. He had not expected that the young girl was so thoughtful. Originally, the shopkeeper had planned to buy as much as she could, and he signed the deed just to allow the young girl to grow the fruit with peace of mind.

As a result, the quality of the fruit was regulated, the time was limited, and even the penalty for breach of contract was regulated. It turned out that I had underestimated this farm girl.

Leng Ruoxue was no longer worried when she had some money in her hands.

I went to the dental clinic first and then found Xiao Zhu.

Xiao Zhu is very busy now. Everyone in the city has returned, so there are more transactions.

Xiao Zhu finished his work only after Leng Ruoxue had drunk two cups of tea.

"Young Master Leng, it's hot in the room, how about we go outside and see who's who?"

Xiao Zhu wiped the sweat off his face.

"it is good"

Leng Ruoxue and Xiao Zhu came to the place where people were sold.

They were all pale and skinny, and the silver they sold for ranged from 200 coins to 2 taels.

There are death contracts and living contracts.

However, seeing that Leng Ruoxue was not interested, Xiao Zhu asked everyone to leave.

"Young Master Leng, I will have to ask about the household registration in a few days."

"I came here today to tell you that my household registration has been approved, and also, I want to rent out my house."

Upon hearing that there was business again, Xiao Zhu happily invited Leng Ruoxue back to the shop.

"Long-term or short-term? How much is the rent?"

"Someone's interested?"

Seeing Xiao Zhu so happy, Leng Ruoxue made her own judgment.

"Yes, the child of the landlord Liu in the town wants to go to the county town to study. He looked around for a house but couldn't find a suitable one. Your house is suitable."

The ancient version of accompanying students to study?

"What if I lose money by renting out my house?"

Even if the furniture is brought in, modern rental houses are also afraid of having bad tenants.

I feel sad because I haven't lived here for a day.

"Don't worry about it. What do we do in the dental clinic? We serve you, young master. We are watching over you, and you have a deposit. Even if there is any damage, we can still repair it as it was."

Xiao Zhu patted his chest and made the promise.

"How much rent do you think is appropriate? I don't care about your dental office's fees."

Leng Ruoxue estimated that two taels of silver would be needed per month.

"Your yard should cost 4 taels of silver per month, but the shop is hard to rent, so 2 taels per month is a reasonable price."

The price Xiao Zhu offered was similar to the price Leng Ruoxue had in mind.

"Then how about this? The house is rented for two taels of silver a month, and the shop is also rented for two taels of silver a month?"

Xiao Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Then Landlord Liu is at the inn. How about I take him with me to see the house?"

Leng Ruoxue agreed immediately, "If you pay the rent annually, I can lower it to 23 taels."

Xiao Zhu immediately drove the carriage and took Leng Ruoxue to the inn to find Landlord Liu.

Landlord Liu brought with him a servant, a woman and a little boy about 5 years old.

There was also a mule cart.

When he heard that there was a suitable house, he asked the servant to drive the mule cart and follow the carriage.

"Look at the house. It's clean and tidy. The furniture is complete. You can move in once you have the bedding. There are three rooms and two side rooms. You and the master can each have one room. There is also a study room. The maids and old women can also live here. It's also convenient to park the mule cart."

"It's not easy to find such a suitable house around here. Originally, the owner wanted to build it together with the shop, but our company came up with a solution. We rented the house first, and then separated the shop and the yard..."
