The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 22 A bad start
Qin Zimu was completely attracted by the bowl of steaming dumplings in front of him.
The white, plump, half-moon-shaped dumplings were placed full in the bowl, sprinkled with some finely chopped green onions.
He couldn't wait to pick one up and put it in his mouth. He took a light bite and the fresh aroma of the pork and the soup instantly filled his entire mouth.
The dumpling skin was thin and chewy, and it was fresh, fragrant and juicy. Qin Zimu grimaced because of the burn, but he was reluctant to spit it out.
Zhou Dazhui is older, and his eating manners are much more reserved than Qin Zimu.
But they both finished eating, even finishing all the soup.
Dumplings are not a rare thing for Qin Ruo. To her, they are just ordinary food to fill her stomach.
When they finished eating dumplings, paid the bill and walked out of the noodle shop, Qin Ruo stopped and turned to Zhou Dazhui.
"Dazhu, I'm going to Taihe County soon, do you want to come with me?"
Zhou Dazhu's eyes lit up. He had never been to Taihe County.
He doesn't know what the prices are like there, but he is really tempted now.
In addition to the mushrooms he picked today, he also brought some dried goods picked and dried in the mountains in his backpack.
"The price will definitely be higher if you sell it in Taihe County. But I can't guarantee that you can sell it in Taihe County. It's possible that you will even lose money on the travel expenses."
Qin Ruo added that she wanted to test Zhou Dazhui's courage and decisiveness.
She has always been a person who likes to plan ahead. Hunting is not a long-term solution. It remains to be seen whether Zhou Dazhu can be used.
Zhou Dazhu lowered his head and thought for a while, then quickly made a decision.
He gritted his teeth and decided to follow Qin Ruo to Taihe County.
The worst outcome is that the goods cannot be sold and have to be carried back to fellow villagers to sell.
Most of the time they would just walk back and would only lose five cents.
After confirming it, Qin Ruo took Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu, found a carriage to Taihe County, paid the fare, and headed straight for the destination.
The road from Datong Township to Taihe County is much flatter, and horse-drawn carriages are much faster than donkey-drawn carriages.
It was their first time riding in a carriage, and Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu were both a little excited. They looked around curiously and talked in low voices while sitting in the carriage.
About half an hour later, they arrived in Taihe County.
Qin Zimu and Zhou Dazhu were the first to jump off the carriage, and they could hardly take their eyes off the scene in front of them.
Taihe County is completely different from Datong Township.
The streets are neat and clean, with shops lining both sides and prosperous restaurants and wine shops.
Even in winter, the streets are still bustling with people.
The hawkers' shouts came one after another.
There should be everything you need to eat, use and wear.
"Sister, sister, this is Taihe County. There are so many people here."
Qin Zimu looked left and right, and found everything new and interesting.
Qin Ruo's heart was touched, although the original owner had been here many times and had some impressions of Taihe County.
Even in her previous world, she had visited many ancient cities, and they were basically the same.
It is another thing entirely to actually walk on the streets where the ancients lived.
Every brick and tile here has an indescribable charm.
Zhou Dazhu was also very excited. The heart that had been hanging in his throat just now finally settled down.
He had observed along the way that some street vendors were also selling mushrooms and dried goods.
The price is almost twice as expensive as in Datongxiang.
The things sold by others were not as good as his own, so he felt relieved immediately.
Zhou Dazhu found an open space and put the things out.
Before long, all the things in his hands were sold to a wealthy family's purchasing manager.
In addition to the half a catty of mushrooms that his family ate last night, he sold a total of 12 catties. And he sold them at the price of 25 coins per catty, making 300 coins.
As for the more than ten kilograms of dried wild bamboo shoots, they were sold for more than three hundred coins.
Zhou Dazhu held the copper coins in his hands, as if he were dreaming.
You know, he originally thought that if these things could be sold for a total of three or four hundred coins, it would be considered pretty good.
The people who go to the market in Datong Township are all from the surrounding villages.
There are many people selling mountain products, so it is not a rare item.
In fact, in the winter of the Great Sheng Dynasty, there were no fresh vegetables except the cabbages in the cellars of ordinary people's homes.
Fresh mushrooms are still quite popular.
Just by looking at the clothes worn by pedestrians in Taihe County, you can tell that their spending power is not at the same level as that of their fellow townspeople.
Qin Zimu's basket of mushrooms was also sold.
Apart from what he ate and what he left at home, he only took ten kilograms.
When he handed the two hundred and fifty copper coins in his hand to Qin Ruo, he felt his steps were a little unsteady.
This was the first time in his life that he had received so much money.
Qin Ruo had no intention of selling game here. She was going to take the game to Fumanlou in Taihe County.
After they had packed up their things, Qin Ruo took Qin Ziyan and Zhou Dazhui and walked towards East Street in Taihe County, the most prosperous street.
Not long after, they arrived at Fumanlou. At this time, there was a constant stream of customers coming to the restaurant to dine.
Relying on the original owner's memory, Qin Ruo walked along the narrow alley and came to the backyard of Fumanlou.
After arriving at the destination, they did not see Chen, the manager who was originally in charge of purchasing.
There was only one middle-aged man at the scene, who was slightly fat and wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket. He was inspecting the food that had just been delivered with a few waiters.
Qin Ruo put the bamboo shoots on the ground, walked forward and said with a smile: "Excuse me, is Manager Chen here? My name is Qin and I am from Changhe Village. I am here to deliver food to Fumanlou. Please inform Manager Chen to come and inspect it."
The middle-aged man turned around and looked at Qin Ruo and his group, frowned, put down his work and walked over.
He waved his hands impatiently at Qin Ruo: "Manager Chen was transferred to another place half a month ago. Are you here to deliver the ingredients? Go! Go! Go! Fu Man Lou has enough ingredients for today. Take them somewhere else!"
The new manager’s surname is Zhang, and he knows Qin Ruo.
Before leaving, Manager Chen had instructed that if a girl named Qin from the same hometown brought wild game and mountain products, they could cooperate as usual.
Because we have cooperated for many years, the other party is a sincere person. The ingredients delivered every time are very fresh and are very popular with diners.
Qin Ruo's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this. She smiled and said, "Master Zhang, we came all the way from Datong Township to send them here. We had a verbal agreement with Master Chen before..."
"The past is the past, and the present is the present. However, considering that you have come all this way, I will reluctantly accept these things from you..."
As Manager Zhang said this, he stepped forward and took a look at the things in the backpack.
He could tell at a glance that the game Qin Ruo brought were all top quality.
But Zhang was determined to lower the price, so he frowned deliberately and said, "It's just that this batch of goods is not very good."
"How about this. The pheasant is sixty cents each, and the roe deer is five hundred cents. I'll take the five hundred cents from you. The remaining two rabbits will be a bonus."
Qin Ruo almost laughed out of anger. How could such a deal be possible?
What a fool! In Datong Township, pheasants were sold for ninety cents each, but in Taihe County, they were sold for only sixty cents.
As for that silly roe deer, it weighed more than 30 kilograms after being cleaned.
Five hundred coins? And I have to give him two rabbits for free?
The other party was clearly trying to lower the price, but Qin Ruo said nothing, turned around, picked up the backpack and left.
Zhou Dazhui and Qin Zimu silently put on their backpacks and followed behind.
