Chapter 47 Selling Kirin Fruit
Shopkeeper Liu thought about Li Xiao's idea of ​​selling on behalf of others for a while and then agreed.In fact, he didn't even pay attention to the [-]% commission, so he should give this girl some face.

But he said to Li Xiao jokingly: "If there are any good things in the future, please think more about uncle's Jixiang Restaurant!"

Li Xiao naturally nodded yes.

No, as soon as he finished talking about the kirin fruit, Li Xiao gave him a "good thing".

Shopkeeper Liu almost dropped his jaw when he saw the little girl taking out a pack of Kurokawa!
If he saw the half of the basket that Li Xiao sold to Ji Shitang, he would probably be dizzy!

This Kurokawa can be said to be very expensive. Only some high-ranking officials are willing to use Kurokawa as seasoning. The point is, this thing is not only expensive, but in many cases, you can't buy it even if you have money!
As a restaurant owner, of course he knows Kurokawa and knows that this is a precious condiment.

But he, a restaurant branch in a small southern town, is not qualified to use this precious condiment!

But this doll is taken out in one package at a time. It must weigh two kilograms, right?
Ouch, is he accepting it?Or take it?

Thinking about the previous letter from the headquarters, saying that Shaodong’s family will be coming over soon, should I accept it?Submit it when the time comes?And if the kirin fruit sells well, will some be left for the young master’s family?
At this time, shopkeeper Liu didn't know that the young master he planned to please was already sitting in the side hall of Jishi Hall. Kurokawa saw the half basket and also ate the unicorn fruit in his hand...

Shopkeeper Liu, who had a beautiful heart, finally gave Kurokawa a high price of 70 taels per catty, which was exactly two catties, 140 taels.

Kirin fruit weighs 22 pounds with a red heart and 63 pounds with a white heart.

Li Xiao moved out five of them and asked the restaurant to use them as gifts, cutting them into cubes about half an inch in size. According to the number of guests at each table, each person was given a piece of white and a red piece of unicorn fruit.

At the same time, all the waiters in the restaurant were informed that if anyone asked, they would tell the guests that kirin fruit was sold by the pound, with white hearts costing 660 Wen per catty and red hearts costing 680 Wen per catty.

When they heard the price, both the waiter and shopkeeper Liu were a little surprised, but they didn't say much.

Since I finished my work and it was still a while before dinner, I made an agreement with the shopkeeper to bring the second batch of unicorn fruits over the next day and settle the cost of this batch of unicorn fruits.

Li Dashan took the extra 140 taels in his pocket and did not dare to wander around the town any longer. He drove the carriage home directly.

Just in time for dinner when he got home, after finishing the meal like a gulp, Li Dashan asked Li Qingzhu to close the courtyard door before taking out the money he earned today!
Nearly two thousand and one hundred taels!

Even Li Yuan was stunned for a while. After he recovered, he confirmed it twice. He didn't dare to believe it until he received a positive answer.

Suddenly, Li Yuan felt like he had too much money, which made his family panic.

Finally, Li Xiao came up with an idea, and her father dug a hole in the ground under his parents' bed, and used a small locked box with an earthen jar inside, and then wrapped the banknotes in oil paper. Put it into the earthen jar together with all the silver ingots.

Oh, by the way, after the small box was locked, a thin layer of soil was covered on it, and then something else was pressed on it to cover the traces.

Then, her mother-in-law was finally relieved!

Now, all Li Yuan has in his hands are some silver ingots and copper plates worth less than five taels, a total of less than ten taels!

Li Xiao doesn't care. Anyway, the family doesn't need much money on weekdays. Besides, you can pick pepper once every seven or eight days, and you can probably pick it three or four times.

Kirin fruit should be picked four or five times until November.

As for the half-acre or so of yam, after all, such a high-yielding crop requires two thousand kilograms!Dioscorea has a high yield, so Li Xiaocai planned to share it with the villagers to silence some people. After all, crops with high yields are the favorites of farmers.

Of course, when more yam is planted, the price will definitely drop, but in the end it is still more profitable than growing rice!

As for her family, she has some preliminary plans: buying land and farming!

After harvesting the yams and unicorn fruits, you have to consider transplanting them.

Fortunately, yams can be harvested the same year they are planted, but dragon fruit has to wait until the second year before it begins to produce fruit.Pepper takes longer, taking about three years to mature and bear fruit after transplanting.

So you have to prepare for transplanting this year and start doing it next year!

After dinner, the family went to bed early. Before dawn the next day, all four of them went into the mountain with their backpacks on their backs.

Because there were so many ripe fruits, Li Xiao coaxed his parents to transport them home after confirming their safety!
There are four backpacks, the big one can hold about [-] kilograms. Li Dashan is carrying Li Qingzhu's backpack, which is estimated to hold [-] kilograms, and Li Yuan is carrying Li Xiao's small backpack, which is about [-] kilograms. Heaven.

When their parents were home, the brothers and sisters spent most of their time picking fruits, apart from eating.

Without the children, Li Dashan and Li Yuan's journey was much faster. It was only about three quarters before they returned to Qilin Fruit Land, and they even brought two extra small backpacks with them.

A few people took the time to pack the unicorn fruits, then rested for a while and then set off to go home.

It was already midnight when we got home. At this time, every household was rushing to eat before dark, but no one noticed that Li Dashan and his family returned from outing, carrying large and small baskets on their backs.

It was such a tiring day that none of them had much appetite, so they simply ate four bowls of noodles, washed up, and then went to sleep.

The next day, the four of them went separate ways. There was still a small piece of ripe fruit left to pick. Li Yuan would go into the mountains early after finishing his work at home, and Li Qingzhu would look after the house.Li Dashan took Li Xiao into the city and sold the fruits picked yesterday.

As soon as Li Dashan and his daughter arrived at Jixiang Restaurant, they were frightened by the anxious shopkeeper Liu.

"Hey, my little girl, you are finally here!" Shopkeeper Liu was getting angry!

"Uncle shopkeeper, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the kirin fruit?" Li Xiao asked curiously, but thought it shouldn't be possible.

Shopkeeper Liu then gave her the answer.

It turned out that the eighty kilograms of unicorn fruits were sold out that day, and many people came to the restaurant to buy them the next day, but they were out of stock!

They kept asking him when the goods would be available, and urging him to hurry up and buy the goods. Oops, he had no choice but to wait, and he was getting angry!
But seeing the large baskets on the oxcart today, his raised hair finally calmed down.

Li Xiao was not surprised that Qilin Guo was popular. After all, she loved it!
Shopkeeper Liu first settled the account with his father and daughter's family for the first batch of kirin fruits.

In addition to the gifts, there are 66 kilograms of red-heart unicorn fruits and 56 and a half kilograms of white-heart unicorn fruits, totaling 130 taels and [-] wen.

Shopkeeper Liu offered not to take a commission, but Li Xiao insisted on giving it, so in the end he got 50 taels and 510 seven cents!
