Yuan Qiu smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Boss Xu, for your trust, but I really don't know the price of Bisanxi. Just pay it according to the ordinary price of medicinal ingredients in the store. It doesn't matter." She is just a porter of nature. , a business without capital, it doesn’t matter how much it is.
Boss Xu nodded: "In that case, let's calculate it based on the price of the most expensive medicinal ingredients in Jufulou, and give you one tael of silver per catty, how about that?"
Yuan Qiu nodded: "Deal!"
Yuan Hao was so excited that he almost jumped up. One tael of silver per catty. Unexpectedly, something that looked like a weed could be sold at a high price of one tael of silver per catty.
Boss Xu thought of the deliciousness of the three dishes just now, and felt very happy, and said: "There is no need to weigh these today, just count them as ten pounds, and we will weigh the ones delivered later."
Yuan Qiu was naturally happy. Although it cost one tael of silver per catty, the thing was not weighing well. One basket only weighed three or four catties, and two baskets weighed seven or eight catties at most. Even if they sold ten catties, they made a profit.
The two siblings unloaded Bi Sanxi from the basket, and Yuan Qiu told Boss Xu how to preserve Bi Sanxi to prevent it from turning yellow and rotten before it was cooked.
Boss Xu personally delivered ten taels of silver to Yuan Qiu and told her to deliver the goods again in two days.
Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hao left Jufulou and came to the market to meet Uncle Zhang. It happened that the purchasing manager of Jufulou also came to the market to buy fresh fish and dried goods. When they met Yuanqiu who had just been treated by Boss Xu, they naturally wanted to sell. As a favor to her, she bought all of Uncle Zhang's fresh fish and dried fish in one go without any counter-offer, which made Uncle Zhang extremely happy.
Yuan Qiu still remembered his promise to Yuan Hao. Before going home, he cut a slice of pork belly and bought some seasonings. When he passed by the cloth store, he also bought two new clothes for himself and Yuan Hao. He was very generous.
Uncle Zhang saw her spending money like this and couldn't help but persuade her: "Yuanqiu, we poor people don't want to waste money like this in our daily life. We have to spend money carefully. Winter is about to come. You have the money to buy meat." It’s better to save the money and buy two quilts when the time comes, which will be better for the winter! Can’t we live without eating this meat?”
Yuan Qiu patted his head and said with a smile: "Yes, I forgot to buy a quilt, but it's a little late today, so I can buy it again in two days."
Uncle Zhang couldn't say anything when he saw her like this. After all, he lived his own life, and he was an outsider, so he could just give her a little advice.
In the past, Yuan Hao would have agreed with Uncle Zhang's words, but it was different now. The Bi Sanxi they picked was worth one tael of silver per pound. Thinking of the Bi Sanxi outside the ghost forest, he knew that their days would be better and better in the future. The better it comes, buying meat and clothes is really nothing.
As the ox cart wandered all the way back to the village, Yuan Qiu counted the remaining silver in her hand. After excluding the two taels she spent on shopping, she still had nine taels or seven hundred coins in her hand.
For ordinary villagers in Xipo Village, this money can be regarded as the savings of an ordinary farmer's family.
"Uncle Zhang, look at my house. If I knock it down and rebuild it, how much money will it cost?"
Uncle Zhang was shocked when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Rebuilding a house is a big deal and it will cost a lot of money. I see that your house is a bit dilapidated, but the foundation is still good. Just repair it." Then my uncle will help you find someone, and it won’t cost much.”
Yuan Qiu knew that Uncle Zhang was also doing it for her own good and was dedicated to helping her save money. He was also moved in his heart: "Uncle, I will definitely rebuild this house. I will inevitably trouble you when the time comes. How about this? I won't take care of the house." I don’t quite understand, please help me find someone, I’ll do everything for you, just ask me for money.”
