Rebirth of the pastoral landlady

Chapter 52
Chapter 52 The Trading Storm (Second Update)
It was mid-morning at this time, and there were people coming and going on the street.The three of them parted ways temporarily at the intersection, Jin Xi and Sun Yubao took dry goods and went to the market in the west of Zhenxi, while Sun Yubao took the wild goods in his hand and went to a warehouse specializing in wild goods.

According to Sun Yubao, Sun Erhu has had several contacts with the shopkeeper of the warehouse. Although the warehouse will lower the price a little, it is a long-term business, and it can accept wild goods at any time.

Compared to wandering around the market with wild goods in a daze looking for customers, Sun Erhu would send them directly to the warehouse whenever he had goods in hand.

Here, while talking and laughing with Jin Xi, Sun Yubao found the market in the west of Zhenxi.

Changqiao Town radiates many villages. The market in the west of the town can be said to be a centralized trading place for all agricultural and sideline products in this area.Don't underestimate the people in ancient times, the layout of the market is no different from modern times.

Vegetables, fruits, agricultural and sideline products, eggs, poultry, and fish, shrimp and seafood all have their own trading areas.

Jin Xi and the others first found the agricultural and sideline products, and after asking the price of several companies, they chose one to sell the dried bamboo shoots and straw mushrooms they brought.

Next, it's the turn of this highlight, fried chestnuts in sugar.The hawkers in the market have fixed stalls and have to pay taxes to the yamen.

The two looked around, and finally decided to place their temporary small stall at a corner of the entrance of the market. Although the corner was not very conspicuous, the flow of people passing by should not be underestimated.

There are quite a few mobile vendors who have the same idea as Jin Xicun, and there are all kinds of things nearby.

The two found a piece of land and squatted down, arranged the three types of chestnuts in order, and the business was opened like this.

It was obviously the first time for Sun Yubao to do such a thing. He was excited all the way before, but now he felt embarrassed.

Although Jin Xi is not very used to yelling in public, but if she doesn't yell, she can't make money in business, so in order to make money, she has to go all out.

"Freshly baked chestnuts, fried chestnuts in sugar, delicious and easy to peel..."

"Come and see, come and see..."

Following this routine, Jin Xi stood behind the basket of chestnuts and yelled vigorously at the passers-by.Sun Yubao stood aside, blushing stiffly, and moved the corners of his mouth several times, but the sounds he made were not loud.

"Hey, it's really chestnuts. Aren't the chestnuts out of the market early?" Two middle-aged women who were shopping for vegetables with a basket on their shoulders, passed by Jinxi's shop, their eyes were attracted by Jinxi's yelling, Look over here.

"Auntie, these are chestnuts we just picked in the mountains, they are delicious, try them!" Jin Xi hurriedly called to the two women, and nimbly grabbed two chestnuts from the smallest basket. into the hand of the woman who spoke.

After the two women peeled it off, they stuffed it into their mouths and chewed heavily.

"How about it, are they sweet and glutinous? These chestnuts were just picked two days ago, but they are fresh. After this crop, if you want to eat them again, you will have to wait until next year." Jin Xi looked at the two women. In the gap of character, he tried to sell how good his own chestnuts are. In short, this sugar-fried chestnut is just a hype.

"Well, these sweet chestnuts are so delicious!" the woman said again, and the one next to her nodded in agreement.

"Aunts, buy something delicious to pick up the children! There are three kinds of chestnuts, with different sizes and prices. Which one do you want?"

"How do you sell these three kinds?" They asked.During the interrogation, several passers-by heard the sound and surrounded them, and they all looked at the chestnuts in Jinxi's basket.Sun Yubao also got used to it at this time, his brain came alive, he grabbed a handful of chestnuts like Jin Xi, and distributed them one by one to those who surrounded him.He said in his mouth: "Try it, big guy, the homemade sugar-fried chestnuts are new and delicious!"

Jin Xi reported the prices of three types of chestnuts one by one, the smallest one was [-] Wen per catty, the medium one was [-] Wen per catty, and the largest one was [-] Wen per catty.

"Hey, isn't it cheap? Pork only costs forty yuan!" Someone objected.

"That's right, it's expensive!" Someone echoed.

Sun Yubao blushed again, this price was set by Jin Xi, and he couldn't figure out the market outside, everything followed Jin Xi.This will be questioned, and he has no way to refute it.

Jin Xi looked at the crowd in front of her calmly and confidently, and said with a smile: "Uncles and aunts, my chestnut shells are the last crop in late autumn, and they were picked from the innermost northern mountain of Jinji Mountain. It's a prickly ball and it's baked or something. It takes a lot of work and firewood! Guys, look at these chestnuts again, they are all top-notch, they are all carefully selected plump meat, and there is no half-bad product. Chestnuts nourish your body Everyone knows that honey is mixed in it, honey is fragrant and beautifying, so it is reasonable to sell it at this price!"

Health and beauty is second, mainly because this season, chestnuts are already out of the market, and now they are fresh, and they are fried with honey, which is fragrant, sweet and soft, so many people are more tempted.

"Look at what this little girl said all the time, yes, I ate a few of yours, and I can't justify not buying it!" The first woman smiled, pointing to the medium-sized chestnuts: "I want that kind, give it to me." I'll take two catties."

The woman next to her did the same.

Jin Xi glanced at Sun Yubao, and Sun Yubao hurried over with the scale and weighed chestnuts for the two women.Jinxi continued to call out to other wait-and-see buyers, trying to win over those who were interested in buying.

After a while, a few more deals were made, but unfortunately, what these people bought were all medium and small chestnuts, and the large ones were very pleasing, but no one cared about them.

After some difficulty, a middle-aged man walked over there, with gray temples, Jin Xi looked at him from a distance, judging from his clothes, he should be from a good family.

The man also came over to buy a catty of big chestnuts, and Jin Xi wrapped them for him with the prepared kraft paper, opened the bamboo basket covered with a piece of cloth at the bottom of his feet, and weighed two taels of fresh straw mushrooms from it. , handed to that person together.

The man was puzzled: "Little girl, I didn't intend to buy your straw mushroom!"

Jin Xi smiled and said, "I gave you this straw mushroom, and I will give you two taels of fresh straw mushroom for every catty of chestnuts!"

The man weighed the chestnuts and straw mushrooms in his hands, and glanced at the honest and honest young girl in front of him. The man smiled and said, "Hehe, you two look like businessmen, not bad!"

The man didn't refuse, took the chestnuts and straw mushrooms, and left.This time, the other people around couldn't bear it anymore, they saw the straw mushrooms with soil and dew in the bamboo basket under Jin Xi's feet.

There are clusters of straw mushrooms, each of which is as big as an adult's palm, and it is pleasing to look at.Whether you eat it stir-fried, or make soup with sliced ​​meat or eggs, it’s a delicious dish. What’s more, the straw mushrooms are free!

What happened next was exactly as Jin Xi expected, many people who were only willing to buy small and medium-sized chestnuts, all rushed to the big fresh straw mushrooms for the big chestnuts.

After a while, the straw mushrooms at Jinxi's feet were almost sold out, and the basket of big chestnuts was almost sold out.

Sun Yubao's task is to weigh people, Jinxi is not only responsible for selling and selling, but also responsible for collecting money, so busy, it's a pity that she can't give birth to superhuman strength.

There was no time to buy or sell, so Jin Xi silently weighed the copper coins in the bag, not knowing how much they sold for after working for half a day, but the heavy feeling in the palm of her hand made Jin Xi happy flower!

"Xi'er, you can impress my uncle and me today. The business scriptures are all set, where did you learn it? Could it be that you came here to do business before?" Sun Yubao's youthful face was full of tenderness. overflowing with excitement.

Jin Xi smiled shyly: "I've never eaten pork, and I haven't seen a pig that can't walk? I'm yelling like those cabbage sellers nearby! Don't make fun of me, uncle!"

Sun Yubao wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "How dare uncle laugh at you? It's too late for uncle to admire you! Hehe, I was worried that the chestnuts wouldn't be sold all the way before. I didn't think about it. It's rare. If I knew it, then Chestnuts will be in peak season, so I should stock up more!"

Jin Xi smiled again: "It's better to be early than to be lucky, we just happened to be lucky this time, and we won't be sure next time."

Sun Yubao also nodded in agreement, looking at the small half basket of medium chestnuts left in front of him, said: "There is still half a basket left, we can go back after selling it, maybe we can go back to the mountain before it gets dark."

Jin Xi stared at the chestnut with her chin in her hands, feeling a little worried.After squatting in this position for half a day, most of the people who went to and from the market saw chestnuts sold here, and bought whatever they wanted.

Wait and see, I can't take this small half basket of chestnuts back home, even if it's half sold and half given away, it has to be exchanged for money!

Sun Erhu went to the warehouse and hadn't come to look for them, Jin Xi was staring at the chestnut in a daze, when suddenly, the toes of a pair of red embroidered shoes appeared in Jin Xi's line of sight.

The toe of the shoe kicked the basket of chestnuts, and a voice came from above his head: "Hey, how do you sell these chestnuts?"

Jin Xi was startled by the voice, and when she came back to her senses, she saw a little girl staring at her condescendingly, with a sense of superiority of a girl in the city.

Jin Xi immediately stood up, and found that the little girl was actually about the same size as her, but she just had a very high imposing manner.

On her head is a bun of ingots, with silk flowers and velvet flowers inserted, pearl studs on her ears, a skirt and jacket cut from silk and satin, and a pair of silver collars around her neck.

What a bright and beautiful little girl, but her aura is too compelling.

Not only that, but behind her was a little girl combing her pussies. The master and servant had the same temperament, and when they looked at people, their eyes were squinted.

"Are you deaf? Our lady asked you how you sell your chestnuts!" The little maid following behind shouted angrily at Jin Xi.

"Twenty cents a catty." Jin Xi said unhurriedly, judging by the manners of these two people, they probably didn't intend to buy chestnuts.

"Hey, so expensive? What about the chestnuts made of gold? Or do you live forever?" The little girl curled her lips, shook her head, and sneered at the maid behind her: "The yellow-haired girl from the country just hasn't seen the world. Why don't you grab chestnuts worth twenty cents a catty?"

"That's right, country people are bumpkins, they don't understand anything!" the servant girl echoed.
