Chapter 505: I can sell it if my aunt says so

So he ran to the door of Si Qing's courtyard and stopped.

Looking at the baskets of vegetables in the courtyard, everyone was so greedy that they could only stand at the door of the courtyard and poke their heads around.

Si Qing was taking Mrs. Wu in the courtyard to count how many baskets of vegetables had been delivered this time, when she heard rustling at the door. When she looked up, she saw all the villagers standing outside the courtyard door, stretching their necks to peek in.

.

Simply let everyone come in to help: "What are you doing standing at the door? Come in and help check the vegetables in the basket."

"Ah? Grandma, are you talking about us?" The villagers outside the door did not respond.

Si Qing nodded his little head, opened his dark jade-like eyes, and said with a childish air: "Yes, these vegetables are all going to be sold, and the money from the sales is yours, so of course you have to come and help."

When the villagers heard this, they were stunned at first.

Then his face showed surprise: "Auntie, are you saying these vegetables can be sold for money?"

"Did we hear correctly?"

"Can vegetables be sold for money?"

Actually, I don’t blame everyone for being surprised.

When these vegetables are kept warm, they are simply worthless. You can't even exchange them for an egg in town.

Everyone has formed this cognitive habit. Even though it is winter, the previous cognition has not changed subconsciously.

Now, aren’t you surprised when you hear your aunt talking about selling money?

But Si Qing didn't have the patience to explain their doubts to everyone.

He just waved his little hand and directed He to take the women in the village to check the vegetables in the basket.

Pick out all the rotten and bad ones, sprinkle the rest with clean water, cover them with thick cotton clothes, and let Si Zhengping lead people to take them directly to the county town to sell them.

Green vegetables are not like other vegetables. They grow quickly, but they are not resistant to storage, so they should not be stored for too long. You must seize the time to sell them while they are still fresh.

When Mrs. He was taking the women in the village to pick vegetables, some people couldn't help but whisper: "Can these vegetables really be sold? Don't waste your work."

"What's there? If you can't sell it, you can just eat it yourself. Where can you get such fresh vegetables in this winter?" Mrs. Chen answered very straightforwardly.

Mrs. Li next to her heard this and said with certainty: "My aunt said it can be sold, so it will definitely be sold!"

Liu Qiaoniang and Xiao He also nodded: "Yes, what my aunt said is never wrong. Please hurry up and pick out the bad ones. Don't waste your time. It's cold now. It will be a waste if the vegetables are frozen."

When the others heard this, they started picking vegetables faster and faster.

Si Zhengping and several elders of the Si family took advantage of the time to pick vegetables and prepared the bullock cart.

Because there are so many vegetables delivered, one ox cart cannot handle them. There are four cows in the village now, so there is no need to go to other villages to borrow ox carts.

Roll out the carts you use to pull grain, find a few hemp ropes, make a simple harness and put it on the cows, and you have four carts.

The oxcart was prepared, the vegetables were picked, and water was poured on them to keep them fresh. I also took a few quilts collected from Li Erniu Si Dashan's house and spread them on the oxcart that was covered with a thick layer of wheat straw.

Everyone started working together, and soon twenty-four baskets of vegetables were loaded onto the oxcart. In order to prevent them from being frozen, everyone carefully covered the vegetable baskets with quilts.

Then Si Zhengping and three other clan elders drove an ox cart, and Wang Sanlang volunteered to set off for the county town together.

Si Jinsong looked at his father and his men driving a bullock cart away excitedly, with a complicated expression on his face.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that his aunt, a six-year-old girl, could come up with so many money-making ideas.
