Chapter 257
In this relaxed atmosphere, Qi Ke pre-sold the lettuce to be collected next time on the spot, and the price was directly doubled, [-] Wen per catty, half of the deposit was charged.

The merchants present, including the one who had snatched the cabbage for the old man's birthday, all paid money to sign the contract, and Qi Ke sold more than 600 catties on the spot.

Because no one has ever seen lettuce before, only Qi Ke said it is a kind of green leafy vegetable, which can be stir-fried or boiled in soup. The exact shape can only be seen on the day of harvest.

Qi Keke didn't want the merchants to go around the greenhouse and estimate her production, so everything was just lip service, believe it or not.

The merchants don't care whether the lettuce is delicious or not, as long as there are vegetables, they want them.

While they were talking, baskets of cabbages were also delivered. This time, they collected all the parts they kept for themselves, weighed [-] catties on the spot, and gave them away. The rest were moved according to Qi Ke's instructions. Go to the back house.

The merchants’ eyes turned green when they saw the remaining baskets of cabbages in Qi Ke’s hands, but no matter how much they raised the price, Qi Ke didn’t sell them. He said he would eat what he wanted, and then he called the villagers to help move the vegetables and see off the guests.

After sending these merchants away, Qi Ke asked someone to move out the cabbages that had just been sent to the back house, leaving only one basket for himself, and selling the rest. Knowing what it's like is too pitiful to say the least.

The village women who had just earned a fortune from Qi Ke yesterday hurried over. The price was the same as that of the army.

In just a short while, the few baskets of vegetables specially set aside were all sold out, and they were not too expensive at all. Didn't you see the price they sold to those merchants just now?

Under such a comparison, the villagers don't think that twenty yuan a catty of Chinese cabbage is so expensive, and they will get one or two free for every catty.

After Qi Ke finished selling the vegetables, he urged the villagers to weave vegetable baskets quickly. The vegetable baskets would never be enough. This was a steady stream of income for the villagers. The crowd soon dispersed and went back to work to earn money.

The merchants rushed back to the county in the afternoon. Fifty catties of cabbage were unloaded from the pier, attracting many people to watch. Many people with status wanted to buy some at a high price, but that person really bought them for the elderly at home. Don't sell it, just take it home.

The other businessmen in the same company released news in due time. In a few days, there will be a batch of lettuce on the market in Siliu Village. One or two silver per catty, half of the deposit is paid first. They were all sent to Bai Jiajun, and they didn't want to ask for it.

As soon as the news came out, the wealthy households in the county were very moved. Although they didn't know what the lettuce looked like, they were fresh vegetables anyway, so they quickly sent their family members to order the vegetables with money.

When Bai Qing received the news from the county scouts, he learned that the price of vegetables that Qi Ke sold to the merchants was so high, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help twitching. Compared with this, the price of vegetables for the army was really the price of cabbage in winter.

So, he waved his hand and let her go, he now has to think about raising rabbits, Fu Xiaoli and the others brought back a new news yesterday, Qi Ke knows how to make medicine, there is a prescription for chilblain ointment, the main medicine is actually rabbit brain.

This year is too late. Next year, raise rabbits well. The meat can be eaten, and the brain can be used to make medicines. It is really a double gain.

Qi Ke has repeatedly given support to the army, and Bai Qing knows that he has to reciprocate, and he can't take advantage of others and do nothing. Before the beginning of spring, he must help Qi Ke put the mountains and forests she wants under her name.
