Chapter 292 Barter
A few days later, Luo Baisu posted a list and told about the mutual market. He also said that anyone who had surplus food or fruits and vegetables at home and wanted to exchange some money should go to the market outside the city to register and get a sign , you can set up a stall in the corresponding position of the greenhouse.

At first Luo Tiandu took Ding Wu and the others to the market twice to let them get acquainted with the place, then entrusted Cheng Sheng to take care of him, and after that he paid them ten slings of capital, and completely let go of them , Let them toss by themselves, only let them come to her to report the results every other day, let them prepare the journal of in and out, cost accounting and so on, and show it to her.

Luo Mingdu was a little worried. Although he knew that Cheng Sheng was taking care of him outside, he couldn't suffer, but after all, they were all half-grown children, and the oldest one was only 14 years old. They still dealt with barbarian people, so it would be a catch The barbarians who dare to kill.

"They can't stay in the school for the rest of their lives to study and read. One day they will step out of the school and get in touch with the world. If they don't take this opportunity to go out and see the world now, I'm afraid there won't be such a good opportunity and conditions in the future. Already." Luo Tiandu said.

Speaking of worry, Luo Tiandu was actually not so completely at ease in his heart, but what could be done?The world is so difficult, if you want to work hard to survive, you can only make money to support yourself, because the world will not be soft-hearted to you just because you are a child.

Luo Ming has always been unable to explain the truth to Luo Tiandu, and I feel that what she said is true. In the future, when they grow up and learn their skills, they will eventually go out to the outside world. At that time, there will be no second Luo Baisu and Cheng Shenghui bothered about their small matter, and even made a special trip to say hello to the manager.

In the past two years, the people of Yi County opened up wasteland and cultivated land, and they got a lot of food. They were able to eat enough to escape the threat of famine. Therefore, they were not too enthusiastic about opening the market. They still focused more on the upcoming In terms of spring plowing, that is the really important event.

Doing business is to make money, but it also depends on who is doing business. Their ancestors have lived in the mountains for generations, and they lived like ghosts a few years ago. Yu Liang, you don't have to worry about when the barbarians rush in, killing people and grabbing food, you are already very satisfied.

Besides, they have always had hatred with the barbarians. In fact, which family has not been harassed by the barbarians, and which family has not been injured by the barbarians, and even the lives of many people's grandparents have been thrown into the hands of the barbarians Now, although the government tried their best to appease them, they still have an instinctive resistance to the barbarians.

Want them to put aside the hatred of several generations, just for such a small amount of money, do business with the Yi people, and even cook for him?
Nonsence!They would rather throw away those grains, fruits and vegetables, chop them up and feed them to pigs than cheapen these barbarian people who have killed tens of millions, but some people are tempted to earn two small coins and save them to buy two pieces of candy for their daughter-in-law and son-in-law After being persuaded by the villagers so much, they all stopped thinking about eating.

Only Ding Wu and those young boys worked tirelessly, each went back to collect vegetables, rice, noodles, etc., and asked the adults at home to help them prepare them. Every day before dawn, they pushed the cart and walked dozens of miles of mountain roads in the dark. , Take it to the market for sale.

In the beginning, they just regarded them as the homework assigned by the female master and wanted to finish it earnestly. Later, Luo Tiandu specially took ten slings of money for them as capital, which made the meaning different. They really learn to do business like grown-ups!

Originally, I didn't take it seriously, but at this time, I raised the spirit of 12 points. I must do a good job in the business and live up to the teachings of the female teacher.

Ten hanging coins is not a big sum for ordinary people, let alone this small border town that has only recovered a little in the past two years.

The weight of ten slings of money alone weighs several tens of catties, and a box is full. The young boys wish they could sleep on top of the box, for fear of being touched by thieves.

Never thought that this business that adults look down on is really a very lucrative business.

The Yi people had been harassing the local people because of the lack of food. When they heard that the Emperor Daqing issued an order to open the market, they all packed up a lot of local specialties of medicinal materials and fruits, and hurried over to exchange for more. Good-looking silk and satin.

There are mostly high mountains here, and there are few people in the mountains. Sometimes you may not be able to meet a family after walking for two or three days. The food brought by the Yi people is not much. It's easy to see the county seat, but they are still not allowed to enter, so they can only be stationed outside the city.

These barbarians were used to being overbearing, so they were naturally dissatisfied, and when they wanted to be violent, rows of soldiers with silver guns and armor bones came to maintain order.Although they are fierce, they are just ordinary barbarians. They can deal with the unarmed Daqing people. If they fight with real officers and soldiers, they will not gain much. Once you report, press your paperwork and refuse to sign, so that you can't enter the negotiating field and can't exchange for food, that is a big loss.

After making a fuss twice and driving away two waves of particularly troublesome thorns, those barbarians became honest, but there are so few people, and they don’t know when they will be able to leave for Duochuan. They stay in the camp every day. To eat and drink is the most important thing.The things they brought, some of them are quite precious, but no matter how precious they are, they can’t be eaten as food, but there are a few who are particularly scheming and have enough rations, which are just dry food and jerky. A full stomach can fill the stomach, but the taste is really unflattering. It’s okay to eat two meals a day, but it’s a bit unbearable to eat one meal every day.

Therefore, when they saw Ding Wu's shop in the market, everyone looked straight at him.Those children are also quite vicious, knowing that they have nothing to eat, in order to coax them to spend money to buy it, they specially boiled the soup to make it thick and fragrant, and kept fanning it, as if they were afraid that people would not be able to smell the fragrance .

After a long time, some people really couldn't hold back and went to the shed to find food.

The things are not expensive, the tea-salted eggs that are well-cooked are three renminbi each, a bowl of hot noodles is five renminbi, and home-made pickles are given away, a bundle of dry firewood is ten renminbi, and there are also braised flavors. This one is more expensive, but the price is also very fair.

Because of the language barrier between the two sides, it was difficult to communicate. These young boys had already thought of a countermeasure and drew the prices and food on paper.

An oval circle with three copper coins drawn beside it means that the egg costs three Wen; a round bowl with a few wavy lines drawn inside and five copper coins drawn on the side means that the noodles cost five Wen; A chicken leg, six coppers; a few sticks tied together, ten coppers...

In this way, all kinds of pictures are drawn, and the paper is pasted on a wooden board and hung in front of my booth.

Those barbarians look rude, but they are also very shrewd in their hearts. At this time of year, the things in the city may be more expensive, and they are already a little moved. Seeing that the stall owners are all half-grown children, they intend to lower the prices, even more so. What's more, relying on their physical strength and pretending not to understand the language, and wanting to eat for free without giving money, these young boys pointed at the wooden sign with the price on it, as long as they were not blind, they could read it. Understood.

If there are still people who are ignorant and insist on pestering you, those teenagers will not talk nonsense with you, and when they raise their voices, officers and soldiers will come over immediately. At this time, these officers and soldiers will not be polite to you. Just press down the document and not sign it for you. If you can't go to the negotiating field and can't exchange things, that is your own loss.

Those barbarians tried twice, and after suffering a dark loss, they became honest.

However, the currency of the Yi people is different from that of Daqing. They have their own currency system, and not everyone has copper coins on them. It’s not available here, even the seeds can be exchanged. If the value of the goods is too high and exceeds the price of meals, then it’s okay, they will give you back the extra money, a lot of money, it’s okay He explained in a friendly voice that it was convenient to bring some copper coins with him when he went to the quarry. After all, it is Daqing's territory. It must be correct according to the rules here. It really makes people want to find something wrong.

After half a month, I made almost a few pennies from the cash alone. Those exchanged goods can be converted into a lot of money in the county. Can get a lot.

These young boys are really getting more and more excited as they work. It is the first time they have gotten so much money when they grow up so big. Although it is very hard to get up early and dark, it is worth it.

When Ding Wu returned the capital to Luo Tiandu, he brought some of the local products he bought to everyone in the Luo family, and told her about these experiences in detail.

Luo Tian was a little thoughtful, glanced at those things, and said: "This is how business is done. You can't just accept a dead truth. The barbarians have no money. You know how to exchange their things. That's very good. Now The debate has just started, and the prices over there are high, so it’s not a loss to sell them here.” He asked again, “Is this what you traded for?”

Ding Wu was praised by Luo Tiandu, and he kept talking happily: "There are more, I picked some uncommon ones and brought them here, so that the lady master can palm them. I asked about these herbs. Dr. You, he said that when drinking tea, put two pieces down to make tea, it can produce body fluids and quench thirst, and it is quite good to drink in summer. This kind of dried fruit tastes crunchy and sweet, I taste it I bought a few, nothing to worry about, and I can eat them. There is also a kind of earthen cloth produced by them, which is soft and comfortable to the touch, and does not hurt the skin at all. I brought some here to give to the young master and Cheng Young master and the others wear it, but it looks quite plain, not very good-looking."

Luo Tiandu said: "I told Dr. You that you can get those medicinal materials at his shop to exchange them. He is familiar with us, so he will not lower your price. It is more cost-effective than trading in other shops. As for the other things, you can take care of it yourself."

Ding Wudao: "I think so too."

Nanyi produced medicinal materials, and medicinal materials accounted for most of the things they exchanged. Since the female master greeted Dr. You, they would definitely not suffer.

Luo Tian wasn't even interested in those foods. After all, she had already passed that age, and those herbs were put away. It's good to make water for the family to drink in summer, but this cloth...

She picked up the piece of cloth, touched it, and rubbed it on her face, her eyes lit up.

This is cotton!
