The daily life of a farm girl raising a family

Chapter 11 Surprise
  Hearing the shouts, Zhao Yunxi turned around and saw two men of fifteen or sixteen years old standing in front of the vermilion door.

"Are you going to buy kiwi fruit? Thirty cents per pound, how much do you need?"

The man in fine clothes said, "Can I try one first?"

Zhao Yunxi stretched out his hand and handed one over. The servant of a man in fine clothes peeled off one according to Zhao Yunxi's instructions. The man in the rich clothes didn't expect to be surprised at first, but the moment he could eat it, his mouth was enveloped by the rich aroma.

When Zhao Yunxi saw the man's eyes shining brightly, he knew it was done.

After the man finished eating, he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth.

He said slowly: "I'll take all the fruit you have."

Several people were surprised when they heard this. Zhao Yunxi knew that he would probably buy more, but he didn't expect to just round it up!
  Zhao Yunxi stabilized himself and said: "There is probably nearly two hundred kilograms left in the car."

"I want them all, take them off!"

The boy next to the man in rich clothes took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from his purse and handed it to Zhao Yunxi: "Take it, there's no need to look for it if it's too much."

Zhao Yunxi reached out to take the silver, and then said thank you. He turned around and asked Zhao Yunbai to unload all the fruits from the oxcart.

The man took two steps and then turned around and asked, "Do you still have these kiwis at home?"

"I still have it at home, but it's not fully mature yet. It won't be available for sale until two days later."

The man heard this and said directly: "I'll take whatever you have left at home."

This time, not only the Zhao family but also the man's servants were shocked, and whispered to persuade the man in fine clothes.

Zhao Yunxi said hesitantly: "I have almost a thousand kilograms left at home. Are you sure you want it? Kiwis can only be stored for a few days after they are ripe. You just bought enough for your family to eat for a while."

The man said with a smile: "You just have to deliver it tomorrow, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Zhao Yunxi didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, it was the uncle who spent the money. It's a good thing to be able to sell all the kiwis.

Zhao Yunxi first asked Zhao Yang if he had time to deliver it to the county town tomorrow. After getting an accurate answer, he turned to the man and said, "I can deliver it to you tomorrow, but if it is convenient, you need to pay some money first."

Upon hearing this, the man asked the boy to take out three ingots of silver and hand them to Zhao Yunxi. Zhao Yunxi looked at the obvious overpayment and did not accept it.

Seeing this, the man said: "Take it quickly, don't forget to bring it to me tomorrow."

This was the first time Zhao Yunxi received a tip while doing business, and he sincerely saluted the man.

"Thank you for taking care of my business. We will deliver the kiwis to you tomorrow. Please tell the concierge something so that your absence will not delay you."

The young man heard this and said, "When you arrive tomorrow, you can just tell the Second Young Master to decide."

On the way home, everyone in the Zhao family was in a daze. Even Zhao Yunxi couldn't believe it, he really met a noble person when he went out. Zhao Yunxi did not expect that the kiwi fruit would be sold out immediately.

Zhao Yuntong, who was sitting on the bullock cart, looked at Zhao Yunxi with admiration and said, "Xiaojiu, you are so awesome! You sold out all the kiwi fruits in one go. When I get back, I will go to the forest to pick them tomorrow." Then come to the county town to sell it."

Several others also agreed, but Zhao Yunxi did not have such a good attitude. After all, this kind of thing is rare, and last time it was known to the villagers, it was still a question whether the kiwi fruit was still there.

But she didn't say any words of blow, letting them think about the beautiful things.

When the bullock cart drove to the market, Zhao Yunxi spent two hundred coins to buy an old hen and four pounds of pork belly. Half an hour later, Zhao Yang sent his cousins ​​to the door of his house. Zhao Yunxi handed Zhao Yang the two strings of copper coins and two pounds of pork belly that he had strung before.

"Cousin, I have to ask you to make a trip tomorrow. Take this meat back to Grandpa and Little Niuniu."

Zhao Yang looked at the two strings of copper coins and refused: "I accept the pork, but I can't accept any more money."

Zhao Yunxi gave him the money and ran into the yard regardless of him. He said to Zhao Yang at the door: "Thank you for your hard work today, cousin."

In the main room, the Zhao family who were chatting looked at Zhao Yunxi and others who were selling fruit running in.

Without saying anything, he poured the money from the tower chain onto the bracelet. Everyone was shocked when they saw the money on the table. They didn't expect to sell it for so much money.

Wu exclaimed: "Oh my God, how much did you sell it for?"

Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter: "You have sold out all the fruits."

Several people nodded in unison.

"Grandma, you don't know how awesome Xiaojiu is today. We didn't dare to speak when we arrived at the market, but Xiaojiu started shouting after setting up the stall. A lot of them were sold very quickly."

After hearing what Yu Yu said, Mrs. Zhou looked at her granddaughter in surprise and said, "Ah, our Xiaojiu is so powerful!"

Zhao Yunxi said with a smile: "We are lucky. People in the county saw that we were selling fruits they had never seen before, and they were curious, so we were able to sell them so quickly."

The old lady was uneasy at first and just went with her children, fearing that they would not be able to handle the situation without adults, but she did not expect that these children would bring such a big surprise to the family.

Zhao Yuntong couldn't hide his words, so he told everyone the news that the kiwi at home was going to be released.

Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard Zhao Yuntong's words.

Yang looked at her little girl in disbelief and said, "Xiaojiu, did you really sell all the kiwis left at home?"

"Mom, you heard me right. They were all sold. It was bought by a rich man from the county town. He gave me all the money. We have agreed to send it to you tomorrow."

Everyone looked at Zhao Yunxi with surprise and joy, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Yunxi said to the two elders with some embarrassment: "Ah Weng and Grandma, count the money to see if it's right."

As he spoke, he took out the paper he recorded and said: "We bought a total of 450 kilograms in the market and residential areas, and sold a total of 12,650 yuan. Buying pork and eating plus giving it to my cousin The bus fare cost a total of 500 taels. The remaining 40 taels were the money the young man gave me to buy kiwi fruits."

Everyone in the room knew that they made money selling kiwi fruits, but they didn't know that they made so much. Everyone was shocked when they heard the numbers reported by Zhao Yunxi.

Wu said happily: "Since this fruit is so profitable, let's go into the mountains and pick some back tomorrow."

The others nodded in agreement.

Old Zhaotou looked at the excited crowd, and the joy in his heart was self-evident. With this money, no matter it is the boss's supplement. There is no need to worry about Dalang's exam fees next year.

The old lady said happily: "I believe you, no need to count." She turned around and ordered: "Second wife, go and stew the chicken that the children brought back. The pork belly has also been cooked. Hello everyone in the evening. What a delicious meal.”

After all the noisy children had gone out, Ms. Yang said worriedly: "Mom and Dad, this young man bought so many fruits at once, there's no way he's cheating!"
