The bullock cart stopped outside the city, and everyone came down one after another. Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan went to rent a stall in the market in the city.
There were people coming and going in the market, Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan were a little shy, but Xiao Xiaofan felt that it was time for him to show his skills, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Sell grapes, sell grapes."
Xiao Xiaofan was so powerful, the thin-skinned Xiao Jingting immediately treated Xiao Xiaofan differently.
Seeing Xiao Jingting's admiration for Xiao Xiaofan, Xiao Xiaodong was envious and anxious in his heart, but he couldn't shout out like Xiao Xiaofan, he was furious in his heart, but his small face was serious, Xiao Jingting looked a little funny.
Xiao Xiaofan is so cute, several women heard the sound and came over to ask the price, and they were frightened away when they heard that they needed two hundred and fifty copper coins for a string.
Xiao Jingting was not annoyed, he cut up a few grapes, invited people to taste them, and finally opened up a market.
However, the impression that the grapes are not delicious is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the price is expensive. Xiao Jingting only sold more than 30 bunches in one morning. The situation froze a bit.
Xu Mu'an looked at the depressed Xiao Jingting, thought for a while, and said, "I have a suggestion."
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "Say it."
"I have some friendship with Zhou Ji, the owner of Yuehe Restaurant. He runs a restaurant and needs to prepare a lot of spiritual fruits every day. We can sell grapes to him. He should be able to eat a lot, but the price may have to drop. "Xu Muan said cautiously.
In the past, Xiao Jingting was headstrong and never listened to Xu Muan. He often scolded Xu Muan for taking mice, meddling in his own business, and sometimes beat people. As time passed, Xu Muan seldom expressed his opinions.
Xiao Jingting nodded, and said with bright eyes: "If he can eat most of the grapes, then the price will be lower." The grapes will go bad if they are kept for a long time. If they continue to sell like this, many of them cannot be sold. Lost.
Hearing that Xiao Jingting agreed with his opinion, Xu Mu'an couldn't help being a little happy.
Xiao Jingting tidied up, and found the owner of the restaurant with Xu Muan, and sold the 300 bunches of grapes to Zhou Ji, the owner of Yuehe Restaurant, for 200 copper coins each. More than sixty taels of silver.
"Hurry up and redeem those acres of high-quality land." Xu Mu'an urged.
Xiao Jingting smiled awkwardly, and said: "When I went out, an acre of high-quality land cost twenty taels. To redeem it, I needed twenty-six taels. The silver in my hand can also be redeemed for two taels." mu."
Xu Mu'an thought for a while, and said: "Why don't you redeem those few acres of middle-class farmland first." Although the first-class farmland is good, it doesn't have enough spiritual power to make the most of it. Xiao Jingting's current strength, It is already a bit difficult to tend the medium-sized fields.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "Okay!"
There are six acres of medium-sized fields, ten taels per mu, plus three-point interest, and a total of seventy-eight taels are needed to redeem them.
Holding the land deed, Xiao Jingting shook his head, full of depression. After such a toss, all the money he just earned was lost, and he even paid more than a dozen taels.
Before Xu Muan married Xiao Jingting, his family also farmed, and he had a special affection for the land. Seeing Xiao Jingting redeem the land, he immediately felt relieved.
Xu Mu'an looked at Xiao Jingting's ugly face, and comforted him: "One mu of medium-sized land outside will sell for about eighteen taels. Although some interest has been added, it is still cost-effective. If you have the land in hand, you can rent it out and earn money every year. entry."
The owner of the pawn shop probably thought that Xiao Jingting would not come to redeem the land, so he lowered the price of the land to ten taels before. When Xiao Jingting went to redeem the land just now, the face of the pawn shop owner was as bad as possible.
Xu Mu'an raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and thought to himself: The owner of the pawnshop probably didn't think about Xiao Jingting coming back to redeem the land deed, he thought Xiao Jingting was someone who could only leave and not enter.
"I know." Xiao Jingting smiled helplessly, but, with so much money, he still feels distressed! "Come pick some seeds with me."
Xu Mu'an nodded, and said enthusiastically, "Okay! For the seeds of the middle field, you should buy better quality."
Xiao Jingting didn't know that shortly after he left the pawnshop, Wang Erhu walked into the pawnshop.
The pawn shop owner was full of dissatisfaction and said: "You said at the beginning that Xiao Jingting would not come to redeem the land, but in the end, he redeemed all six acres of land. If I had known, I would have given him a little more money to make more money. Profit money is also good."
Wang Erhu chuckled, and said: "I introduced him back then, shopkeeper, you earned more than a dozen taels of silver for nothing, so don't complain, but, this Young Master Xiao has never been involved in production, only going out but not in, nor Knowing where the money came from, he told me before that the money is all spent!"
Thinking of what the nobleman said, as long as Xiao Jingting's wife and children were separated and lived on the street, he would give him five hundred taels of silver, Wang Erhu couldn't help feeling a little anxious. Originally, Xiao Jingting was infected with Xiaoyaosan, addicted to gambling, and seeing that his bankruptcy was imminent, but now, he doesn't gamble or whore, and he has changed his ways. It's too evil.
