Traveling through the farm, I just want to earn money by farming
Chapter 34 How to do this business?
"Grandpa Ma, please wait a moment." Qing Ning called out to Mr. Ma who was about to go back.
"What's the matter, Ning girl?"
The group was in no hurry to leave and all looked at Qing Ning.
"Grandpa Ma, you know we're going to town to sell these things tomorrow. We can't read, and we don't know what the market value is. I thought you've seen a lot, so could you tell me a little bit?"
She was mainly afraid of being cheated, and the words she knew were not enough to read here.
This is a new business, and I don't know how well the ancients accepted these wild delicacies, so I feel very uneasy.
Mr. Ma was a little troubled when he heard this. He was just a doctor and didn't pay much attention to these mundane matters.
Although he often went to the market, he was still not sure about the appropriate price for these wild delicacies.
If we price them according to common street prices, we would ruin the delicious taste; if we price them according to famous restaurants, we might miss out on sales.
Old Master Yu found it funny to see Mr. Ma frowning and scratching his beard.
[Forget it, let's not argue with this old man. I'll just help this kid. I still owe him a life-saving favor.]
"Little kid, you're going to sell these foods in town tomorrow, but you don't have a set price and don't know what the market is like? How are you going to do business?"
Old Man Yu wanted to see how the little kid would cope without any external help.
"Scarcity makes things valuable. I'm not worried about not being able to sell these things. As for where to sell them, I'll just go around town and ask around. It won't hurt to ask around. If I do, I'll just consider it tuition."
Qing Ning has actually thought about what to do, and she doesn't plan to lower the prices of these things.
Since the price is not low, the target audience is naturally different.
Tomorrow she will start promoting it in the big restaurants in town, and then bring a clay oven and let people taste it on the spot. She doesn't believe that the aroma won't attract people.
Old Master Yu saw that the little girl was not only calculating but also kind-hearted, which was rare and he liked her very much.
So he said, "Let Yu Qi go with you tomorrow. He goes to town often and is familiar with it and knows some connections. Letting him help you won't put you at a disadvantage. Do you think this is feasible?"
Qing Ning was stunned for a moment, then grinned and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Yu. It's great to have Uncle Yu Qi's help."
As he spoke, he bowed to a few people. Everyone smiled knowingly and did not care about the impropriety of his etiquette.
Qing Ning was very happy. She felt more at ease having someone like this with her. At least she wouldn't be cheated.
At this time, Chen Changjiang took a bag of tea and some mushrooms from the kitchen, packed them in a basket and gave them to Mr. Yu as a return gift.
The thank-you gift is too heavy, and these things are too light. I hope they won’t mind.
Old Master Yu happily accepted it. Today's food was very much to his liking, so how could he dislike it?
Yu San carried Yu Shi on his back and placed him on the ox cart. The group thanked Chen Changjiang and the others, said goodbye, and went to Mr. Ma's house.
The few of them walked slowly along the way, enjoying the tranquility.
"Pingchuan, this little place is the right one for you. With its picturesque scenery and simple people, it would be a blessing to spend the rest of my life here. Don't you agree?"
Old Master Yu looked at the inky black fields in the distance, feeling the cool breeze wrapped in the fragrance of wheat coming towards him, and he felt much softer.
"Yes, this place is really good, away from all the troubles. It might even be a good place to live."
Mr. Ma responded calmly.
"Don't go back to the Taoist temple for the next few days. Let Lao San go back and deliver a message. Lao Shi's injury hasn't healed yet and there's still some residual poison. It will save him the trouble of running back and forth."
He turned around and looked at Yu Shi lying on the ox cart, then spoke to Old Man Yu.
"That's exactly what I was thinking. The food up in the mountains is really not good. Starting tomorrow, I'm going to visit Brother Chen more often."
Old Master Yu immediately took up the conversation, and his words were full of disdain for the food at Fuyuan Temple.
"Hmph~ I just said this for no reason, you guys are really good at taking advantage of others, you are just like this old man, hmph"
He spoke angrily and complained to Yu San and the others.
Yu San and the others expressed their innocence, asking why they, the innocent ones, were always implicated every time you two quarreled.
Besides, it was you who asked us to stay here, so why are you angry?
They only dared to criticize him in their hearts and did not dare to say it to his face for fear of being poisoned.
"Why are you still so stingy, old man? Be careful not to get yourself hurt."
Old Master Yu laughed heartily. The two had known each other since they were young and had always been quarreling and arguing over who would win from time to time.
When they arrived at Mr. Ma's house, Yu San and the others set up two simple beds in the west room with wooden planks. Considering they had been sleeping outdoors before, this was considered quite good.
Mr. Yu was so shameless that he insisted on being in the same room with Mr. Ma, which made Mr. Ma very angry but he could do nothing about it.
Looking at Mr. Ma's appearance, Mr. Yu felt very happy and fell asleep quickly.
Besides, after Qingning sent everyone away.
Old Mrs. Chen divided the thank-you gifts brought by Old Man Yu and asked her eldest grandson and second grandson to take the gifts to the village chief and uncle's house, and packed up the rest of the things.
The group sorted and packed the items for tomorrow's sale. Qing Ning cut off a small piece of fat, cleaned it, and sliced it thinly. They also prepared some ginger and salt.
Her family didn't know what she was doing with all these things. She also took a small clay stove, a small clay pot, and a small bundle of firewood.
Everyone was even more confused. They had never seen anyone selling dry goods with these things?
"Qing Ning, what are you going to do with all these?"
The family was really curious and couldn't help but ask.
"Second sister, I don't think many people know about these wild delicacies, let alone have eaten them. If I just sell them like this, it won't attract people. I'll bring these things with me. When the fire is lit, the oil is fried, and the mushrooms are cooked, the aroma will definitely attract people, right?"
"Let them try it and feel it firsthand, and they'll probably accept it faster."
Qing Ning was packing up her things and telling them the purpose of preparing them.
"This girl is really smart. Let your eldest brother go with you tomorrow and let him carry the things."
Mrs. Li thought her little niece was really smart.
"Tomorrow, we will be relieved to have Brother Yu Qi accompanying you."
Chen Changjiang helped put the sorted things into the basket.
"Well, let the eldest brother and the fourth brother go together tomorrow."
Qing Ning thought for a moment and said, the eldest brother is steady, and the fourth brother is smart.
"Okay, let Bo'er go with Wu'er to herd cattle for the official's family tomorrow, and we mothers and I will go to the mountains to continue picking mushrooms tomorrow."
As soon as Old Mrs. Chen spoke, her family had no objection.
"By the way, grandma, the day after tomorrow is Qingming Festival, so don't pick the mugwort. The main purpose of the mugwort cake is to celebrate the festival."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Remember to buy some gold ingots, incense, candles, and paper money when you go to town tomorrow. You can use them to visit the graves and offer sacrifices to your ancestors the day after tomorrow."
Old Mrs. Chen thought about it, took out another thirty cents from the bag in her arms and gave it to Qingning, asking her to keep it close to her body.
Qing Ning took the money and wrapped it in cloth, then asked Tan for a small purse, and only then did she feel relieved.
