Chapter 11
"Little sister, let's put it here." Tao Hechen found a place, put down the bamboo basket on his back, greeted Qianlian, and took some chestnuts out of the bamboo basket.

"Oh, good." Qian Lian was not familiar with Taohua Town at all, so Tao Hechen naturally did whatever she wanted.

Qian Lian unloaded the basket, followed Tao Hechen's example, took some mushrooms out of the bamboo basket, and put them on the top leaves. Tao Hechen took two wild eggs and put them on together.

"Fresh mushrooms, fresh wild eggs, and glutinous and delicious chestnuts, all the uncles and aunts passing by, come and have a look." Tao Hechen sold things in the town more often, shouted Not timid at all.

Qian Lian also wanted to yell, but she opened her mouth and didn't yell out. She is a big monster, and she hasn't done yelling for more than 3000 years. She is really unfamiliar!
Tao Hechen knew that his little sister was thin-skinned, so he told her: "Little sister, you don't have to shout, someone will come to ask the price later, you just need to say how much money."

Tao Hechen had already told Qian Lian about the selling prices of mushrooms, eggs and chestnuts, so she knew it.

"Okay." Qianlian nodded, took a deep breath, she had to adapt as soon as possible.

"Yo, this mushroom looks quite fresh, how much is it?" After a while, an old woman with a basket came to their stall, looked at the mushroom in front of Qianlian and asked.

"Three pennies and two catties." Qian Lian said hastily. This is the season for picking mushrooms. Mushrooms are cheap and cannot be sold at a high price.

"Okay, give me two catties." The aunt said directly without counter-offering.

"Okay, I'll weigh it for you." Tao Hechen hurriedly weighed two catties of mushrooms for the aunt. Tao Hechen borrowed this steelyard from the stall next door, and gave the other two catties of mushrooms. The Tao family is too poor. Even such steelyards cannot be afforded.

The aunt took the mushrooms, gave Qian Lian three Wen coins, and looked at the wild eggs and chestnuts: "How do you sell these eggs and chestnuts?"

Qian Lian smiled and said, "Ma'am, these are wild eggs, two fen for three, and chestnuts for five fen and two catties."

"Hey, it's too expensive. The eggs are only a penny or two, and the price of your catty of chestnuts can be sold for a liter of rice." The aunt frowned and said.

Tao Hechen hurriedly said with a smile: "Ma'am, these are wild eggs, which are rarer than ordinary eggs. Even the dishes made with wild eggs in restaurants are more expensive than those made with eggs. There are also chestnuts, which can keep you full. It’s not too much for food.”

The aunt laughed and said, "That's right, that's all right, bring me nine wild eggs and chestnuts for ten Wen."

"Okay." Tao Hechen responded with a smile, weighed four catties of chestnuts for the aunt, and took ten wild eggs: "Auntie, I will give you another one. If you eat well, you can come again."

The aunt was also very happy to get a wild egg for nothing: "Okay, if I eat well, I will come again."

With that said, he handed the sixteen copper coins to Qian Lian and left.

Qian Lian counted the copper coins in her hand, and got nineteen copper coins all at once!

Looking at half of the basket of mushrooms and chestnuts and the dozen or so wild eggs left in front of her, Qian Lian's eyes sparkled. If they were all sold out, they would probably be worth nearly a hundred copper coins.

Nearly one hundred copper coins a day, which is much better than those in the village who do coolies outside!

Looking at Qian Lian's eyes like a little money fan, Tao Hechen smiled, and said to Qian Lian in a low voice: "Little sister, we were lucky enough to get these things yesterday, and we usually can't pick up so many wild eggs." , at most, you can get some mushrooms, and chestnuts can be regarded as a windfall. If you used to sell things in the town, you would only get a dozen copper coins a day at most, and you still have to accumulate them for two or three days before you can sell them once."

Qian Lian blinked her eyes, if she calculated this way, wouldn't it be a few copper coins a day?

This is too little. It would be great if there were so many things every day.

Qian Lian's expression was so obvious that Tao Hechen couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't even think about it, how could you get so many things every day?"

"I'll just think about it." Qian Lian pursed her lips, there must be a goal, what if it comes true.

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and someone came to buy something again. The things on their stall were not too expensive, and they were fresh. Naturally, they sold out quickly. By noon, there were only two catties of mushrooms and four or five catties of chestnuts left. up.

The two were selling happily, and they didn't even notice that not far away, a woman stared at them for a long time, then curled her lips and left.

"Little sister, are you hungry?" Tao Hechen looked at the remaining mushrooms and chestnuts in the basket, and told Qianlian: "You stay here and guard the stall, I'll go and buy something to eat."

"Okay." Qianlian nodded, she was really hungry after a busy morning.

Smelling the aroma of food floating nearby, Qianlian thought to herself that when she had time, she would have to fiddle with the things in the inheritance. Although she didn't need most of them, she remembered that a senior once traveled to the world, and finally What she loves is the delicacies of the world, and she has recorded many recipes for the delicacies of the world, so she can find them and borrow them later.

Not far from where Qian Lian was, there was a wonton stand. Two men were eating wontons at the stand, and what they said inadvertently fell into Qian Lian's ears.

"Hey, I heard that Chunxiangyuan will choose the oiran in the future. Who do you think will win the top prize?" Diner A said to diner B with a smile.

Diner B couldn't help laughing: "Who wins the oiran has something to do with you and me, can you afford the money?"

"Of course I can't afford it." Diner A said a little embarrassingly: "I'm not curious. Although I can't afford the money, it's good to think about it. My dear, whoever wants to see the oiran at that time will have to spend dozens of dollars. Two dollars of silver!"

"Dozens of taels of silver?" Diner B sneered: "If the oiran selected is really a beautiful crown, I'm afraid there will be a hundred taels of silver, so what is a few dozen taels of silver?"

"Hey, that's exactly what you said." Diner A sighed: "It's a pity that neither of you and I have so much money, so we don't have such a blessing!"

"Who said no!"

While the two were talking, they changed the subject, but Qian Lian was a little stunned.

How many copper plates are one tael of silver, let alone a hundred taels of silver, even a few dozen taels of silver is a lot, okay? If there are dozens of taels of silver, then my mother and brother don’t have to work so hard.

The more she thought about it, the brighter Qianlian's eyes became.

Oiran?

It should be to compare whose flowers are the most beautiful, right?
She has experience, this is what she is best at!
