Cui Dana politely gestured for the two of them to drink water, and then asked with a smile, "Oh, tell me what's important!"
Chen Sanqiu pretended to be mysterious and lowered his voice, leaning forward, but Dana Cui waved his hand slightly impatiently, "Okay, okay, don't be like this, just say what you have to say."
Chen Sanqiu had no choice but to change back to his original posture, "That's it. I found that there are a lot of wild fruits on the mountain, and they taste really sweet."
While talking, he took out two apples from his sleeves and put them on the table.
Dana Cui looked at the two apples and was doubtful, "Is this really edible?"
"Yes, yes. Uncle, please try it. It's sweet and crispy. It's delicious."
Dana Cui hesitated for a moment, but finally picked it up and took a bite.
"Well, it tastes good." Relatively speaking, Cui Dana was still very reserved.
After taking a few bites, he put the apple aside and said, "Sanqiu, you're not just here to give me two fruits, are you?"
Chen Sanqiu chuckled, "Uncle, if you take these fruits to the county town, will anyone buy them?"
Dana Cui looked at Chen Sanqiu but said nothing.
Chen Sanqiu had no choice but to continue, "There are so many fruit trees like this on my uncle's mountain that you can't even see the end of them. They are so densely packed."
Dana Cui looked at him sideways, "Then why don't you go pick it yourself?"
"Hey, uncle, I don't have anyone under my command. You also know that the people in our village listen to Chen Xiaobei, so I thought of you."
Dana Cui turned around and looked at his butler Cui San.
"Send two people to go up the mountain with him tomorrow and bring some back to see if there is any market."
Chen Sanqiu was overjoyed to receive this reply from Dana Cui, "That's right, if this thing is brought to the county seat, someone will definitely buy it."
Cui Dana certainly understood what Chen Sanqiu meant, and then said to the maid next to him, "Go and bring a jar of the wine you just bought today."
The maid agreed, turned around, and came back with a jar of wine in a short time.
Cui Dana pointed at the jar of wine, "This is specially sent to the state capital to buy it. You can try it later."
Chen Sanqiu looked flattered, so happy that he grinned to the back of his head.
When he returned home, he was even more happy and said to Mrs. Liu, "Look, your uncle has given me wine. This is a huge honor."
Ms. Liu was slightly worried, "What should I do if my husband picks the fruit tomorrow and can't sell it?"
"Well, if you can't sell it, you can't sell it. You don't have much capital to do this. It's just a climb up the mountain."
Think about it, there is no need to purchase this thing, so there is no cost.
Chen Sanqiu got up early the next morning and rushed to Cuijiazhuang happily. Cui Saner had already brought two long-term workers and was waiting at the entrance of the village.
Seeing Chen Sanqiu coming, Cui San'er coughed and told the two of them again, "Make a note of the way up the mountain. Do you understand?"
"I understand, don't worry, Third Master, as long as you go once, you won't need this kid to lead the way."
Cui San nodded with satisfaction, "Well, yes, this is what the master meant."
At this time, Chen Sanqiu had already arrived, and Cui San gave him a polite fist, "Brother Sanqiu, today's matter depends entirely on you."
Chen Sanqiu patted his chest and said, "Third Master, please don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me."
Seeing Chen Sanqiu leading the people away, the smile on Cui San's face disappeared, "Haha, you came here to take advantage of me, and you don't want to see what I do."
Just as Chen Sanqiu was leading people up the mountain, Chen Xiaobei had already rushed to Xiaojia Town with Apple in hand.
Along the way, Chen Xiaobei began to make calculations. Last time he sold vegetables, Feng Xiaoyue volunteered to help and took no money. But this time the apples were in large quantities and took a long time to sell, so they couldn't let her work go in vain.
So I have to think about it no matter what.
Seeing Chen Xiaobei coming, Feng Xiaoyue seemed very excited, asked him to come in and sit down, and poured a glass of water for him.
Chen Xiaobei showed no politeness and went straight to the point and took out an apple to explain his intention.
After taking a few bites of the apple, Feng Xiaoyue was overjoyed and said, "Brother Xiaobei, you came just in time. Two days ago, the shopkeeper was discussing with me whether I could replace the peanuts and melon seeds with something else. They always have the same two. There are a lot of them."
The guests are already a little impatient.”
When he heard what he said, Chen Xiaobei was instantly confident. He believed that the county could do the same.
Feng Xiaoyue left twenty of them without saying anything.
This made Chen Xiaobei instantly more confident.
Then Feng Xiaoyue said, "Let's go, Brother Xiaobei, I'll take you to see another house."
This time Chen Xiaobei refused, "Xiaoyue, can we discuss it? From now on, I will give this apple to you and you can send it to them. I will give one penny to Zuixianlou in the county."
Jin, I’ll give you two cents and three jins, do you think that’s okay?”
Feng Xiaoyue shook her head repeatedly, "No, no, how can I make money from you? Besides, I haven't paid back the five taels of silver you lent me last time."
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "The money was given to you, I didn't ask you to pay it back."
Feng Xiaoyue, however, said seriously, "How can that be done? There is no reason not to pay back the money you owe."
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and said, "How about this? The workers I use now cost ten bucks a day. I will calculate your wages based on this. I will deduct half of it every day and pay you half. When will I pay back those five bucks?"
Two silver coins, let’s discuss it later.”
Of course Feng Xiaoyue understood one thing. A strong worker could only make five men in a day. Chen Xiaobei gave him ten and deducted half, but he still got five.
To put it bluntly, this money will pay off my loneliness.
But Feng Xiaoyue also understood that if she didn't agree to this, both of them would look bad, so she could only help Chen Xiaobei do more work as much as possible.
Thinking of this, she stood up and said, "Come on, Brother Xiaobei, I will take you around various houses."
As expected, Feng Xiaoyue was very helpful. She took Chen Xiaobei to several stores and all the apples were sold out. Moreover, these stores were very happy to pay directly.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei felt confident. What are you waiting for? He quickly went back to organize people to enter the mountain.
Just when Chen Xiaobei returned to Hetou Village, two long-term workers from Dana Cui's family also came back.
Listening to the two long-term workers vividly talking about the apple trees in the mountains, Cui Dana was tempted. If this thing was marketable, it could be turned into nothing.
He immediately paid attention to it and called Cui San'er in front of him.
"You can take this thing to the county town early tomorrow morning and see if there is any sales."
After Cui San heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Master, let me tell you, it doesn't matter whether it is sold or not, just get it first. Even if it can't be sold, you can still pay these mud legs for their wages."
Cui Dana glared, "If such a delicious fruit is given to these idiots, wouldn't it be a waste of natural resources?"
