Leisurely little peasant woman 022 mountain goods sell well
Damn Monday!!! ~~~~~~~~
Friends,
Giggle... B, Tian Tian wants to be pampered.
Good morning, everyone. Start the day with a good mood, let's work hard!
"It's okay if it were before the Turkic soldiers came, sometimes they would even accept them. But as you can see, there are few customers in this small shop now, and wild game is not selling well."
Liang Mantou suddenly became anxious and said, "Young fellow, this is a live pheasant. Why don't you take a look?" As he spoke, he put down the bamboo basket.
"It's not that I don't want to accept it, but it's really hard to part with. Otherwise, you can go take a look at that shop that specializes in collecting mountain goods." The young servant had a kind heart and could tell that the two children were thin and small, so he knew their family was having a tough time.
Liang Mantou didn't want to give up, but Liang Tiantian pulled him away. "Second brother, let's go." This store is so big, but there are hardly any customers even after half a day, the business is indeed very bad.
Then went to another mountain goods store, although this store is not big, but there are many people.
Liáng Tián tián took a look and found out they were all this kind of mountain goods sellers.
Wild chickens and rabbits are on sale, and I even saw a few people selling mushrooms and wood ears, which seem to be reasonably priced.
Liang Tian's heart skipped a beat, on that mountain, there seemed to be quite a few of these mushrooms and wood ears.
Han Family Mountain Goods Store
Liáng Tián tián saw an old man at the door holding a tobacco pouch and smoking leisurely, with young clerks occasionally coming over to ask for instructions. He must be either the shopkeeper or the boss. So he walked over with a smile.
"Excuse me, old man, does your store accept pheasants?"
"Little girl has wild chicken for sale?" The old man tapped his pipe on the sole of his shoe, "Let me take a look at the goods."
"Look at this plump wild chicken, old man." Liang Tian Tian gestured to Liang Man Tuan to take a look. "Old man, this wild chicken is still alive and fresh."
The old man nodded, "It's alright, go inside and weigh it, leave some behind."
Liang Tian let out a sigh of relief and Liang Mantou hastily handed the things over to a young fellow.
Liáng Tián tián didn't leave, instead he chatted with the old man.
"Old man, may I ask if you collect mountain goods here? I see that you also collect mushrooms and wood ears, but I don't know what varieties or prices you are looking for?"
"Huh, little girl knows mushrooms and wood ears?" The old man seemed to have come up with interest, "But can you tell what's toxic and what's non-toxic?"
Liang Tian Tian blinked her eyes, in her past life she had hidden in the old forest of Northeast China for a few years, she was very clear about herself.
"Hazel mushroom, red mushroom, sticky mushroom, chicken leg mushroom..." Liang Tiantian rattled off a few common ones from the north, "I know all of these."
"Huh, you really know them." The old man was very surprised. These mushrooms, not to mention ordinary villagers, even the shop assistants couldn't recognize so many of them.
"Girl, if you really know them all, how many do we want? Don't worry, the price is absolutely negotiable." The old man was in the mountain goods business. Unfortunately, this wild stuff wasn't easy to deal with, but fortunately, a lot of things came into town and were collected. But people who knew about mushrooms weren't many, especially since there were often poisonous mushrooms sent over, which made the old man angry. If only there was someone who could distinguish them clearly, it would save a lot of trouble.
"Hey old man, tell me the price so I can have an idea." Liang Tian Tian wasn't stupid, she still wanted to compare prices.
"You're a clever girl." The old man seemed to be in a good mood, and laughed: "The prices of fresh mushrooms and dried mushrooms are different. Different types of mushrooms have different prices. For example, this red mushroom only grows in pine forests, so the price is naturally not ordinary. It's considered expensive. Even fresh mushrooms cost 30 cents per catty, while dried mushrooms are even more expensive, selling for 2 silver coins per catty... The price of wood ears is also not low, with a catty of fresh ones costing 20 cents and dried wood ears costing 1 silver coin per catty..."
The old man detailed the prices of various mountain goods, and Liang Tian Tian nodded along as he listened.
"Girl, however much you want, I'll give it to you. You can also go out and ask around, the price my old man gave is absolutely fair. There's no one in this entire Guo Family Town who has a higher price than me." The old man, seemingly afraid of losing this customer, rarely boasted about himself.
That side of the wild chicken is also called well, the young man reported a number, less than three silver coins. Old Han directly spoke up, "Girl, first time visiting, give them three silver coins."
"Then thank you, old man." Liang Tiantian didn't stand on ceremony.
Three hundred coins can buy thirty pounds of rice or flour.
Li Mancang held a handful of silver coins, his excited eyes were red.
"Little sister, this wild chicken is really worth the money. I'll go hunting in the mountains one day too." Liang Mantou said excitedly as they left the mountain goods store.
"Hunt? Can second brother do it?" It's not that Liang Tian Tian looked down on him, an eight-year-old child can't do much.
"Who says I won't be able to?" Liang Mantou puffed out his chest, "When I was young, I also watched my dad make traps and go hunting. Maybe I can figure it out too. Besides, isn't there still big brother?" He spoke for half a day but still couldn't do it.
"Never mind, we can learn, take it slow, and things will get better," Liang Tian said with a smile. Liang Tian had an idea in her heart, what she saw at the mountain goods store today made her suddenly feel that this winter might not be so difficult after all.
As she passed by the entrance of a brothel, Liang Tian Tian curiously looked over and saw many women coming in and out.
"Little sister, the things in here are not cheap. Do you want to buy something?" Liang Mantou pursed his lips, three cents of silver was not a small amount, but he knew it was not enough for them to get through the winter. However, if little sister liked something, then he would buy her a little something.
Liáng Tián Tián wasn't thinking of buying anything, but rather noticed that everyone's hands were holding something, as if they were also selling.
"What are Second Brother and his friends selling?" If there were other ways to make money, she would also like to learn.
Li Man looked at him and said, "Oh, you're selling embroidered shoes and handicrafts. My mother used to make some to sell too."
Liang Tian Tian was finished as soon as she heard it, and she couldn't even embroider flowers herself. She didn't even understand what a "luozi" was.
Forget it, looks like this money is not going to be earned.
They came back to that grocery store again. The young shopkeeper saw them and greeted the siblings warmly. "Have you sold your wild chickens?"
"Hmm, it's sold at the Korean mountain goods store on that side." Liang Mantou said with a smile, clearly in a good mood.
"Then congratulations are in order." The young shopkeeper smiled and said, "The boss of the Han family's mountain goods store is a good person, the price he gave was fair, if you have things to sell, you can go there."
Li Ang looked at him with a strange expression, how did this guy manage to get business from others, was he a relative?
It seems that after a while, I'll ask around and see how others collect their mountain goods.
Liang Tian had made up his mind and couldn't hang himself on one tree.
"Hey big brother, we want to buy some oil and seasonings." At home, except for a little salt, there was nothing else. Now that they had silver money in hand, Liang Tian Tian didn't want their lives to be too frugal. Moreover, the four siblings were still growing up now.
The young fellow enthusiastically introduced each item and weighed them out for them.
When it was her turn to buy oil, Liang Manlou suddenly pulled her back and said in a low voice: "Little sister, that lard is cheap, buying it can make the dishes taste good with oil, stewing vegetables also smells good, or else don't buy bean oil." This pound of bean oil costs twenty pounds of silver per catty, which is even more expensive than white flour.
Liang Mantou said so, and Liang Tiantian couldn't help but be moved as well.
