Before they came, they had already weighed their own strawberries, so even though they were sold together, there was no trouble in dividing the money.
Of course, it was impossible to divide the money in public, so after selling the strawberries, they packed up and went home.
It wasn't until I got home that I poured out the coins.
A pound of strawberries costs 40 fen, and twenty pounds is 800 fen.
Although the number of strawberries in the two companies is different, the difference is not big. Each family has three to four hundred cash, and their income is about the same.
Don't underestimate these three or four hundred articles. You must know that this is just the first day's income, and there will be income every day in the future.
Strawberries are growing continuously in the fields, but they are not a one-time deal like ginseng.
In the afternoon, when Xiao Chengjin came back, he was very happy to know that the strawberries had been sold successfully and the price was quite good.
That's good, it's one step closer to them.
From that day on, strawberries ripened every day. In order to prevent the strawberries from rotting, no matter how ripe they were each day, Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen would get up early and pick the strawberries. They didn’t bother to have breakfast, so they took two If you want pancakes, go directly to the county seat.
Without Su Ruanruan following them, they didn't even need to push the cart. The two of them walked faster.
The reason why two people go together is mainly because the strawberries they sell are rare goods and the prices are high. If you don't keep them all, you will be targeted by others. If you two people go together, you will always have someone to take care of you.
Fortunately, there is still some time before the summer harvest, so there is no need to worry.
Three more days later, when Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen came back this morning, they came back in a mule cart.
When Su Ruanruan saw this scene, she was shocked.
But there were outsiders, so Su Ruanruan didn't ask any questions, just followed them silently, and went to the back of the house together.
The man who followed seemed to be in his thirties or forties, and he was wearing fine cotton clothes that were still 80% to 90% new. He looked like a rich man at first glance.
When the man came to the back and saw the strawberries, he was so happy that he blossomed.
"Brother Cangshan, brother Yougen, let's make an agreement. Every morning from now on, I will have someone come over to pick up strawberries. This will save you the trouble of running back and forth. You don't have to worry about money. I will settle the settlement for you on the spot."
Su Cangshan and Xiao Yougen both smiled and nodded, "Of course we can trust Shopkeeper Wang."
The man known as Shopkeeper Wang looked at the strawberries and was about to leave. Just as he was about to turn around, he noticed the watermelon.
"What is this?"
Shopkeeper Wang thinks he is very knowledgeable, but he has never seen a watermelon.
Su Cangshan explained, "This is watermelon. I bought it with strawberries. It is also a kind of fruit, but it is not yet ripe."
Shopkeeper Wang narrowed his eyes, "Then when will it mature?"
Su Ruanruan had already told Su Cangshan about this, so Su Cangshan immediately said, "It will mature in about June, early in the middle, late in the late half."
Shopkeeper Wang nodded, "When it matures, don't forget about me! If it's a good thing, we can continue to cooperate."
"Of course, shopkeeper Wang, don't worry."
It wasn't until Shopkeeper Wang left in a mule cart that Su Ruoruan asked Su Cangshan, "Dad, who is Shopkeeper Wang?"
"This is the shopkeeper of the largest grocery store in the county. He said that he will buy all our strawberries from now on, no matter how many we have."
