Nongmen ruffian concubine: ploughing the fields, planting buns

Chapter 56

"It's true that only rich people would buy food. Who would buy this for a housekeeper? Like me, I wouldn't buy it."

"You can't afford it either. It's really a good deal for us to cook at home."

"..." Several women chatted and laughed there, and they didn't forget to ask Ding Shitou what price he sold.

"Shepherd's purse costs two cents and three bundles, and eggs are called for two cents or three cents when they meet rich people. Most of them are bought by sons and gentlemen, and women are reluctant to spend money."

Ding Shitou said a hint.It doesn't matter if they are young, these women are not good at doing business with sons and gentlemen, for fear of being slighted.

Sure enough, those women laughed when they heard this, and they asked their boys to go to the city to sell eggs, after all, March [-]rd is almost here.

Ding Shitou smiled and ignored their words, but looked at Jiang Huzi and blinked.

Jiang Huzi's eyes flashed, he smiled and walked aside, Ding Shitou followed.

"Brother Huzi, this is the money for eggs. There are still 37 eggs that I haven't given to me. Let's save them up. Tomorrow, Ding Dian and I will go sell shepherd's purse and save some money before buying."

She put fifty Wen coins into Jiang Huzi's hands counting five by five.

"Strange, you are only one year younger, why are your palms so much smaller than mine?" Jiang Huzi didn't respond to Ding Shitou's words, but suddenly muttered.

Ding Shitou raised his head and glared at him: "It's business, have you counted the fifty coins?"

Her ferocious expression concealed a guilty conscience, but Jiang Huzi understood her displeasure, and hurriedly laughed: "I forgot, you are the hand of a scholar, so you are naturally more delicate."

"How many years have you been to school?" Ding Shitou changed the topic casually.

"Well, I've been in school for five years, and I can read a few words, which is far behind you." Jiang Huzi turned his eyes away in embarrassment.

"I spent a few more years, and I taught them a little bit, because the husband hired by the stepmother only taught the stepbrother, and deliberately made trouble and didn't teach him."

Ding Shitou was afraid that some things about his lack of education would be exposed later, so he found an excuse to pave the way ahead of time.

"In the future, if you have the conditions, you can send him to the village school. I believe that with your ingenuity, it will not be difficult to make money." Jiang Huzi suggested with a smile, not to mention that he is the eldest grandson with limited conditions in his family, so he has no chance to stay in the village school all the time. exhausted.

He brought the teenagers to do small jobs for free, and he also wanted to steal the teacher to learn the craftsman's craft, and then take over the work by himself.

There are already several like-minded peers with him. Not following Chen Liu does not mean that Chen Liu is not good, but that there are too many Chen family members in Chen Liu's team.

He is such a person who uses resources to study and prepare for making money, so seeing Ding Shi is like seeing a fellow traveler.

The next day, I went to pick fresh shepherd's purse in the dark, and found many women from the village.

Ding Shitou greeted them, but didn't ask them what they were doing for picking so much. There were five of them, and they speeded up their hands tacitly.

When it was just dawn, they had already picked two baskets, with the same time and quantity as yesterday.

I didn’t take eggs today, I put some on the bottom of the basket, and then set up the top. One basket contained [-] small bundles, which was not as crowded as yesterday.

One person, one basket, set off briskly. Today they only sell fresh shepherd's purse.

When the women in the village went home and boiled eggs, packed fresh shepherd's purse and set off with their sons or brothers, Ding Shitou and Ding Dian were almost at Hangzhou.

Compete with them?Hehehe.
