The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Zhang Erqiang and Ma Xiaoliu responded to Ru Yue's recruitment. The changes in Ru Yue's family in the past two months really shocked them. After careful consideration, they both felt that this was an opportunity, so they started running around the nearby villages and towns.

It's no wonder these two village vagrants are good at doing business on the streets. In just two days, they have a comprehensive understanding of the market conditions of dried chili peppers and black beans.

In the grocery store in Pingyang Town, dried chilies are 15 cents per pound, and black beans are 8 cents per pound; in Qingfeng Town, chilies are 17 cents per pound, and if you buy five pounds, you get half a pound free; black beans are 10 cents per pound, and if you buy ten pounds, you get one pound free. Overall, the grocery store in Kunyang is slightly cheaper.

The prices in the surrounding villages were much cheaper, with chili peppers costing ten cents per pound and black beans six cents. They compiled the prices and went to the courtyard to find Ruyue. Neither of them could read, so they couldn't write them down. Fortunately, they had good memories and could remember the prices in these places clearly. After they explained the situation, Ruyue had an idea in mind.

"Sister Ruyue, this is the result of our efforts over the past two days. What do you think is the best way to deal with it?" Zhang Erqiang asked.

"Brother Erqiang, let's go down to the village to collect it. The difference of three or five cents per pound is not that big, but we want a lot. The lower the cost, the more we earn." Ru Yue explained and made up her mind.

"Okay, then we'll go down to the village to collect them. But there's so much stuff, I'm afraid we can't carry it all on our own. Do you think we should rent a car or something?"

"We're not going to use this car just once or twice. We need it to go to the village to pick up goods and to the town to deliver goods. Since we need it all the time, we might as well have our own car. What do you two think?"

"Sister Yue, this is what we think. In addition to pulling carts, cows can also plow the fields, so their price will be higher. Your family doesn't farm, so if they are expensive and the carts are slow, then there is no need. Donkeys eat less and can pull carts, so they are cheaper. There are also mule carts. They are more expensive than donkey carts, but they are more capable and faster, and more honest than donkeys. I just don't know if you have enough money." It must be said that Zhang Erqiang is a talented person. He knows a little about everything and his analysis is very logical. The more Ru Yue thought about it, the more satisfied she became.

"Then let's go to the livestock market and take a look. We'll decide after we've made our choice."

"That's fine. I know a manager at the livestock market. I helped him out when I was working outside. He will definitely help us choose a cheap and useful one."

The next day, Ru Yue sent An Ping to the library, and went to the livestock market with Chu Ning'an and Zhang Erqiang.

There were not many animals in the livestock market. Fortunately, Zhang Erqiang knew the manager there. He gave them a lot of advice, that is, mule carts are more convenient for transporting goods and people, and the price is not much different from donkey carts. He took Ru Yue and others to the backyard of the livestock market, where there were many animals raised. He helped them choose a tall, strong, honest, black young mule with strong limbs. The manager only accepted 18 taels of silver for Zhang Erqiang's sake.

Ru Yue asked the steward to equip her with a cart, thinking she would need to carry both goods and passengers. The steward was quite astute and recommended a cart with a removable canopy, which delighted Ru Yue immensely. This cart could be used however she wanted. The design was ingenious, and indeed, it was more expensive than the single-purpose cart. Zhang Erqiang, after much persuasion, finally bought it for five taels of silver.

Everyone was very happy. Seeing that it was almost time, Ru Yue took the mule cart back to the village. "Brother Erqiang, you can leave this cart at your house. You don't have to tell anyone it's mine. You can get used to driving it for a few days. Go to the town to pick up Anping in the morning and evening. I estimate that the warehouse will be built in another three to five days. You can go to the village with Brother Xiaoliu to collect the goods."

"Are you really going to leave this mule cart with me?" Zhang Erqiang couldn't believe his ears. This was the first of its kind in the village. Oh my God, when it enters the village, those gossiping old women will be envious to death!

"Yeah, you don't want to?"

"Yes, yes." Zhang Erqiang and Ma Xiaoliu were really excited now, waiting to be envied and hated by the whole village.
