The two of them walked while talking.
Soon we reached the foot of a mountain.
It was already autumn at this time, and as far as the eye could see, there were many mountain grapes growing on the mountain, and many mountain grapes that were about to mature.
And a small piece is already ripe!
Some villagers were picking ripe grapes and planned to sell them in the city the next day.
Wen Nuan walked to the old man and pointed to the mountain grapes in the basket: "Old uncle, do you want to pick these grapes and sell them? How much can they sell for a pound?"
The old man's ears were a little deaf. He didn't hear clearly what Wen Wen said, but he felt someone walking next to him. He turned to look at Wen Wen and felt that this little girl was really pretty. He smiled and said: "Little girl, you are Do you want to eat it? You can just take it without paying for it! This stuff is all over the mountain, and some people just pick it up and eat it when they pass by, so you need to pay for it."
After saying that, he picked up a bunch of the largest, ripest, and plumpest mountain grapes and handed them to Wen Nuan.
"My mountain grape ripens earliest and is very sweet!"
Wen Nuan took it with a smile: "Thank you, old uncle!"
She just picked one, peeled it off and ate it.
Mountain grapes have much fewer fruits than grapes, and are a bit sour, but have a strong fruity aroma.
Wen Nuan smiled and said: "It's so delicious!"
After hearing this, the old man said enthusiastically: "If you like to eat, eat more! There are more here. What are you doing here? Are you lost?"
"No, I saw Grape Valley Village written on the entrance to the village, and thought there were grapes here, so I came in."
"You can tell it's Grape Valley Village! Some people even said that I wrote it wrong! Humph! It's because he doesn't know the characters! How could I write it wrong!"
I wrote it wrong. How did this little girl know that this was Grape Valley Village
warmth:"… "
Do you want to say that he did write it wrong
Forget it, let’s talk about it later!
"Old uncle, how much can you sell for a pound of grapes in the city?" Wen Nuan began to understand the situation here while eating.
"Because this grape ripens early, it should be sold for one penny or two catties. After ten days or eight days, when the grapes everywhere are ripe, you can only buy one penny or ten catties! I will sell them for one penny or fifteen catties. Pass!"
The most important thing in Nanning County is mountains, and there are more or less mountain grapes in the mountains.
People living in the village will never buy it, only people in the city will buy it.
Every autumn, many people come to the city to sell mountain grapes, so the prices are very low.
Wen Nuan: "With ten catties per penny, can you sell ten thousand catties of mountain grapes in one season?"
"No way! Most of them are broken in the mountains. Selling five thousand kilograms in one season is already too much! You can see them all over the mountains and plains now, but some will be eaten by birds, and some will be eaten before they can be sold. The damage is in the tree.”
Nuan Nuan calculated that one penny and ten catties, five thousand catties, could only earn five hundred penny.
In other words, a mountain of grapes can’t even earn a tael of silver.
What a bargain!
No wonder you are so poor!
Wen Nuan then asked questions about the annual output of mountain grapes in the village.
The old man also loves to talk.
He knows everything about warmth.
Therefore, this Grape Valley should be able to harvest more than 100,000 jins of mountain grapes every year.
Wen Nuan continued: "Old man, where is your village chief? Can you take me to find him?"
The old man laughed after hearing this: "Little girl, why are you looking for the village chief? I am the village chief!"
"That's a coincidence. Village chief, I want to cooperate with Grape Valley."
"Cooperation? Cooperation for what?" The village chief didn't know why.
“I want to build a workshop and make wine. So I need to buy a lot of mountain grapes.… ”
Nuan Nuan made his plans clear.
The first cooperation plan is that the villagers of Grape Valley are responsible for picking the grapes, cleaning them and giving them to her people to make wine.
When the time comes, she will give 30% of the money she earns from selling the wine to the villagers in Grape Valley.
The villagers then divide the money according to the number of grapes provided by each family.
The second cooperation plan is that she buys the entire grape valley for three cents per pound, and they only need to pick the grapes and sell them to her. .
The village chief took a long time to digest the meaning of Wen Nuan's words.
"Can grapes still make wine?" I've never heard of it!
I have only heard of sorghum wine and rice wine.
Wen Nuan smiled: "Wine is a kind of wine from overseas. No one in Nalan Country has ever brewed it."
After hearing this, the village chief asked curiously: "Little girl, can you make wine?"
Nuan Nuan pointed at Nalan Jinnian: "My seventeenth brother has traveled around the world and heard about the wine making method from an overseas merchant. I want to try it."
Even though she was a half-grown girl, no one seemed to believe that she was well-informed, so Wen Nuan moved Nalan Jinnian out.
Nalan Jinnian didn't expose her either.
The village chief glanced at Nalan Jinnian and thought about it in his mind.
So what he means is that they have never brewed it, but they have heard about it and want to try it
At first glance, the two of them were from the city, and they were not from Nanning County. He had never seen people from Nanning County with such magnanimity.
Anyway, this is indeed a good thing!
Great thing!
The village chief immediately said: "I will discuss this matter with the villagers and see what their opinions are. You two nobles, please come to my home and sit down. I will call the villagers over!"
Even if you don't cooperate, the temptation of three coins per pound is already very powerful.
It used to cost only one penny to buy ten catties, but now it costs thirty cents to buy ten catties!
If they bought all the grapes on the mountain, how much money would they make
Three Wen per catty, ten thousand catties is thirty thousand Wen
sky!
The village chief was so excited that he couldn't calculate how many taels there were in such a big number!
But the village chief wants to cooperate, not sell grapes for three cents a pound.
The village chief didn't even care about the mountain grapes he had just picked in the basket, and quickly invited the two of them to sit in a room made of half mud bricks and half blue bricks at the foot of the mountain not far away.
Although the village chief is old and a little deaf, he is still quite strong. Now he can walk on the familiar mountain road with flying speed!
Nuan Nuan and Nalan Jinnian walked behind him.
The house was built at the foot of the mountain, with a yard surrounded by bamboo. Some vegetables were planted in the yard, and a rooster and several hens were raised.
There was a hen and ten newly hatched chicks walking around leisurely in the yard.
There was also a yellow native dog lying there lazily at the door. When it saw Nuan Nuan and the two coming in, it immediately stood up and was about to bark. Then it saw the big gray behind them and jumped in fright!
It wants to run into the house like crazy!
But he was tied up by a dog leash.
Unable to escape, it simply lay down.
The dog buried its head in the ground and shivered!
Village chief: "......"
He was just about to scold his dog not to be scary, but unexpectedly the dog got scared!
Not only was the dog trembling with fear, but the chickens were so scared that they flew away!
The feathers on the hen's entire body were standing on end, facing the big gray.
He looks like he will protect the chick to the death!
