Back to the era: My vegetable cellar is modern

Chapter 25: Wild vegetables in exchange for things

Qin Hao got up so early to go to the market. He took out the wild vegetables at home and put them in a basket on his back to go to the old house.

By this time Wang Dahua was already up, feeding chickens and pigs.Their family caught two piglets in the spring and planned to sell them at the end of the year. After all, the most profitable thing in the countryside at this time was raising chickens and pigs.

Forget about raising cattle, the capital is too expensive, and if you don't raise it well, your family will lose all its wealth.

"Haozi, why are you here so early?" Wang Dahua put down what he was doing and walked over to take a look.

It was just dawn and she hadn't made breakfast yet.

Qin Hao asked: "Mom, do you have any wild vegetables at home? I'm going to go to town to see if I can sell them."

"Put it down, who would buy this thing?" Wang Dahua sighed, feeling that this was unreliable.

It’s only been two years since we started living a good life, and people in the city don’t like to eat these things. If we talk about chicken, duck, and fish, there are definitely people who want it.

Qin Hao disagreed, "Mom, I'm going to try it, what if someone wants it? There are a lot of wild vegetables in our mountains, and some people just like to eat this."

Just like Qin Hong, she also loves to eat these things.

Seeing him getting up so early, Wang Dahua agreed. There were indeed a lot of wild vegetables at home, two baskets full, ready for pickles.

"Take them all, there are plenty on the mountains." She put the vegetables in the basket into the basket on her back.

Qin Hao immediately filled the back basket with it. He lifted it up and tried it. It was almost 30 kilograms.

"Then I'll leave first, Mom. I'll be back after the sale." He picked it up and prepared to walk out.

Wang Dahua stopped him, "Have you eaten? I'll get you two vegetable dumplings."

Last night they steamed vegetable dumplings with vegetable fillings, and put a little white dough into the dumplings.It won't take shape just by putting corn dough in it, so I put some white flour in it.

Qin Hao hesitated for a moment and nodded. After all, going to modern times has to spend money on food, which is a bit luxurious.

In the past, it didn't matter if he worked for three to five yuan, but today he couldn't bear it if he didn't work and had no money in his account.

Wang Dahua took out two large vegetable dumplings for him, and then watched her youngest son leave.

In fact, she was quite happy. In the past, her youngest son didn't think about anything and would do whatever he was told. He was usually taciturn.

Not to mention being able to work and earn money recently, I am now more cheerful than before.Of course she hopes that her son can always be like this, at least be successful and act like a man.

Qin Hao returned to the warehouse with the basket on his back, and then went to modern times.

The time here is synchronized with that over there, the sun has just risen.

Some people have already started setting up stalls at the big market not far away, and people are coming here one after another.

Qin Hao didn't dare to delay, so he ran to the roadside without stopping, placed a sack on the edge, and placed wild vegetables on top.

By the way, sprinkle some water on top to keep the vegetables from wilting.

"Hey, these are wild vegetables!" The old man selling groceries came over and couldn't help being surprised when he saw the fresh vegetables.

The nearby mountains are sprayed with pesticides, so few people go to pick it. If you want to eat this, you have to go far away.

In addition, this thing is not profitable, and gradually no one takes it.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Yes, uncle, do you know how much this thing sells for now? I got it from quite far away, so I don't know the price yet."

He is not afraid that the other party will bully him. Anyway, this thing has no capital. Even if it sells for [-] cents per catty, it is still profitable.

The old man thought for a while and said: "I saw it at the morning market in town a few days ago. They sold celery for five yuan a pound and bracken for four yuan."

"The price of black celery is about the same as that of bracken. Just watch it and sell it. If others think it's expensive, just give it a little more. You need to be more flexible when doing business, right?"

There's nothing wrong with that. Don't you have to be more flexible when doing business?

Seeing that he kept staring, Qin Hao asked, "Sir, take a handful of whatever you want to eat."

He tied them up in handfuls for easy sale.It just doesn’t have a scale, so I’ll have to borrow someone else’s to use it when the time comes.

"Oh, what kind of business is this?" The old man was embarrassed, and after a pause he said, "Let's do it, I'll trade it with you. See what you're missing? Take one from me." He also liked it even when he was older. I can't eat this every day, but it's quite delicious once in a while.

Hearing this, Qin Hao didn't agree. It was just a handful of wild vegetables. Besides, someone he knew could give him a discount when he came to buy things in the future.

"Master, take it and eat it. I picked this all by myself."

"No, no, I won't take it either." The old man waved his hand.

Seeing this, Qin Hao had no choice but to get something. He had his eye on many things, but in the end he only took an enamel basin.

This thing is very consistent with what he has. The basin is old-fashioned, and it is obvious at first glance that it is a good product.

The old man saw that he had taken something, so he confidently picked two handfuls of large leaf celery.

"Okay, my pot only costs eleven or two yuan. It's enough for you to get two handfuls of vegetables."

Qin Hao took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and went to the apple seller next door to weigh the vegetables, which came in bundles by a pound.

The eldest sister also exchanged three pounds of apples for two handfuls of vegetables. One pound of apples costs three yuan. This is pretty much the exchange method.

There were also people nearby who wanted to exchange. The butcher sold two kilograms of pork in exchange for four handfuls of vegetables.

Pork costs ten yuan a pound, and he takes advantage.

In fact, the consumption level in the town is not high. People say that meat like this may cost [-] pounds per kilogram in the city. The main reason is that meat is cheap in summer, but the price will increase in winter.

Before eight o'clock, all the dishes he ordered were sold out. The money was 25, and he changed a lot of things.

After thinking about it, Qin Hao packed up his things and went back.

It seems that wild vegetables are also good and sales are quite good.

But I can’t take the money back, so I can only keep it for myself to buy things.

When she got home, Li Meiling was sitting in the room eating, and was very surprised to see him back.

"Where have you been? Have you eaten?"

"I've eaten, the vegetable dumplings I ate at mom's place. Wife, I'll give you this enamel basin. I exchanged it for celery." Qin Hao was about to leave the basin.

After all, they used a dark red plastic basin for their wedding. At this time, enamel basins were used for weddings. It was quite expensive to buy here, so they didn't buy one when they got married.

Li Meiling looked at the blue old flower enamel basin and suddenly became happy, "Can I exchange this thing for Big Leaf Chrysanthemum? Is that person stupid?"

She didn't understand that something as good as an enamel basin could be exchanged for wild vegetables?That's not stupid.

Qin Hao was a little speechless, but judging from the current prices, it is indeed a bit silly...

"Don't worry about this. I'll go to Mom's place. You can eat first."

After saying that, he walked out with the basket on his back.

When he arrived at Wang Dahua's house, he took out everything and said, "Mom, I didn't get the money for the sale, but in exchange for two kilograms of meat, there are three kilograms of apples, and so are these croquettes."

The croquettes stuffed with radish are golden and crispy, weighing only one kilogram in total.

He would go to the market later to see what was on sale and buy some for his wife, but he would keep these things at his old house.

He Lirong's eyes widened when he saw these things. Just now he complained to his mother-in-law that his brother-in-law had taken away all the wild vegetables, but now he could use the things he brought back with some wild vegetables.

"So many?" Wang Dahua was a little incredible. Can wild vegetables be exchanged for meat and apples?It’s really the first time I’ve seen it.

Qin Hao smiled and nodded, "Yes, Mom, if you have time to get some more, I will go change them tomorrow."

I don’t know if anyone has replaced it, but I can buy something back by selling it for a little money.
