To sell vegetables, you need to have a steel scale, which is a rarity these days, and you need at least twenty eldest men.
This is another huge expense.
Another important point is that people don’t know much about the current vegetable price trend.
Many people only grow a little bit for themselves to eat, and never thought that they would make money from this.
So when Lidong saw that it was more profitable to sell to Lao Wu Cai, he wanted to grow vegetables together, which was reasonable.
"Brother Lidong, I still have some vegetable seeds at home. You can take them back and try planting them. However, I won't give you the seeds for free. You will have to give me at least five kilograms of vegetables when you grow them in the future."
This vegetable seed is not cheap, but thinking about the future profits, Lidong still agreed to it.
In fact, Chen Xiaobei didn't ask him how much he wanted, and even gave him a friendly price at a loss. Seeds are really not cheap these days.
Lidong is also a man of action. After finishing work in the afternoon, he went home and spread vegetable seeds all over the open space in his yard and around the walls of his house.
Seeing his behavior, his daughter-in-law Qiu Mei couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what are you doing?"
Lidong quickly warned, "I have sown vegetable seeds in this area. What will come out in two days will be vegetables, but don't treat them as weeds and pull them out for me."
Qiu Mei looked puzzled, "Why are you planting so much? You can't eat enough."
"Haha, let me tell you, I don't grow vegetables for eating. I want to sell them in the city. In the city, one kilogram of these vegetables can be sold for a penny."
After hearing his words, Qiu Mei opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Really?"
"Of course. Today I went to the city with Chen Xiaobei and saw with my own eyes that he pulled a cart of vegetables and sold them for ninety bucks. This is not much easier than when I went out to sell Dali."
After dinner, Chen Xiaobei sat under the oil lamp. According to his memory, he carefully drew the route he took into the mountain yesterday. Seeing him drawing here again, Cui Hongyu and Chen Qiaoer came over curiously.
Although the picture drawn by Chen Xiaobei is not that accurate, it still looks like the same thing. Especially the several forked roads and which road to take, he marked very clearly, which is very important.
Cui Hongyu understood clearly this time. She asked in surprise, "Husband, have you walked this far into the mountain? Don't go any further. My grandfather said there are ferocious beasts on the mountain."
Of course Chen Xiaobei understands the truth. If you often walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet.
It is impossible for such a big mountain to be without wolves, insects, tigers and leopards.
As the ancestors in the village said, there are no venomous snakes in Qingniu Mountain, which is already a gift from God.
Therefore, it is even more important to draw your own route map into the mountains.
If you go into the mountains again in the future, with this map in mind, you can choose the correct route and reduce the time you spend in the mountains, which will naturally reduce the risk.
"It's okay, a group of us are going into the mountains, and Sun Jian and the others are also very skilled in martial arts." That's all Chen Xiaobei could say.
"By the way, I have to go to the county town early tomorrow, and when I come back, I will go into the mountains with Sun Jian."
Cui Hongyu frowned, with a worried look on his face, "Husband, please take Qiaoer and I to the county seat tomorrow. I will also familiarize myself with the route. If you have something to do in the future, I will go to the county seat for you."
When she heard that she was going to the county seat, Chen Qiaoer clapped her hands happily.
"Okay, okay, Qiaoer hasn't been to the county seat yet."
Chen Xiaobei thought about it and realized that Cui Hongyu was right. He would definitely be busier and busier in the future.
So it would be a good choice for her to go to the county town early to familiarize herself with the situation.
"Okay, let's go together tomorrow. By the way, let's stop by Brother Dachun's house."
The next day, it was still dark, so Chen Xiaobei got up.
When he heard the noise this time, Cui Hongyu also got up immediately. What surprised the two of them was that Chen Qiaoer also opened his eyes immediately.
"Brother and sister-in-law, are you leaving now?"
Chen Xiaobei smiled and knocked her on the head, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law and I will pick the vegetables from the field."
"Then Qiao'er goes to make porridge. Brother and sister-in-law can have dinner when they come back."
What a well-behaved child, Chen Xiaobei felt warm in his heart.
As the sky dimmed, the three of them headed towards the county town.
Entering the city for the first time, Chen Qiaoer was full of curiosity about everything, looking around with big eyes.
When I see something exciting, I can't help but shout.
After all, he was still a child, so of course Chen Xiaobei would not stop him from doing anything. On the contrary, he felt a little guilty and wanted to bring Chen Qiaoer out to see the world more in the future.
Went into the county town and sorted out the vegetables for Old Wu, but Old Wu still took ninety pieces and gave them to Chen Xiaobei.
Seeing this scene, Cui Hongyu was also a little surprised.
She never imagined that Chen Xiaobei was selling vegetables like this.
"Husband, why don't we sell vegetables ourselves?"
Chen Xiaobei chuckled, "If we sell it ourselves, I'm afraid I'll have to squat here for a long time. If I'm unlucky and have a few kilograms left in my hands, I'm afraid we may not be able to get the ninety big bucks. Now we can
Have a good time in the county."
Chen Xiaobei had his own arrangements for the money. He first went to pull a piece of cloth and asked Cui Hongyu to help make two sets of clothes for Chen Qiaoer.
When I arrived at the silk and satin shop, I saw a person coming out. I almost bumped into Chen Xiaobei, but when I looked closely, it was Feng Xiaoyue.
"Hey, it's Xiaoyue!" Chen Xiaobei took the initiative to say hello.
Feng Xiaoyue, however, appeared to be evasive, and turned to leave after saying some words.
Just when she was about to turn around, Chen Xiaobei suddenly discovered several scars on her face, and they looked very new.
"Miss Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you?"
But the other party didn't say a word and left directly.
She also seemed a little staggering when walking.
Cui Hongyu saw this and said in a low voice, "Husband, looking at her like this, she probably has injuries on her body."
"Husband, who is she?"
Only then did Chen Xiaobei come to his senses and hurriedly explained, "Oh, her name is Xiaoyue, she is the one who I gave money to for treatment last time."
After Chen Xiaobei finished speaking, he shook his head. He had already said last time that he didn't want the money. Maybe Xiaoyue was also afraid of collecting debts on his own.
After pulling off the cloth, the three of them turned to the snack shop. This was the first time they went to Chen Dachun's house. They couldn't go empty-handed, so they had to bring something to others.
As he was walking forward, Cui Hongyu pointed forward with sharp eyes, "Look where there is someone lying on the ground."
Chen Xiaobei felt that the clothes looked familiar at first glance, and he was shocked. Could it be Feng Xiaoyue?
He jumped off the carriage and walked forward quickly, and saw that it was indeed Feng Xiaoyue.
In desperation, he remembered how he often rescued people in TV dramas he watched, and pinched Feng Xiaoyue hard.
This trick turned out to be effective. Feng Xiaoyue let out a long breath and slowly opened her eyes.
Cui Hongyu was a little surprised by Chen Xiaobei's move. She didn't expect that Chen Xiaobei was an all-rounder and could even save people.
Seeing that Feng Xiaoyue had woken up, Chen Xiaobei was a little at a loss. Just now, he had held Feng Xiaoyue in his arms. After all, it was important to save people, but now that she was awake, he felt a little embarrassed.
