Chapter 99
099. Underpriced honey
Shen Ruoxi walked along the street and came to a restaurant. The restaurant also needed honey for cooking and might accept it if it was suitable.
"Shopkeeper, does your restaurant accept honey?"
"Did you bring any honey? Let me see." The shopkeeper paused with his hands on the abacus and raised his head.
Shen Ruoxi handed the quilt to the shopkeeper, "This is my home-brewed honey."
The shopkeeper smelled it, tasted it, and was quite satisfied, "How much do you sell a pound of this honey?"
Shen Ruoxi held up a finger and said, "For one penny, if the shopkeeper wants it, I can bring the honey over immediately. Don't worry, shopkeeper, it's all the same honey."
The shopkeeper wanted to lower the price, "It's a bit expensive per penny."
Shen Ruoxi said regretfully, "Then I have to find another one."
The shopkeeper waved his hand, "You can't sell it even if I change it, how about ninety cents?"
Shen Ruoxi was more determined, "No, it's only one penny." Sugar sells for one penny and two pounds per pound, so why can't her honey be sold at a high price?
The shopkeeper was hesitant, but when he saw that Shen Ruoxi was leaving, he made up his mind, "Okay, okay, every penny is worth."
Shen Ruoxi raised a smile and said, "Then I'll go bring the honey over right away."
The shopkeeper nodded, "Okay."
Shen Ruoxi, Shen Ruohao and others brought the honey over, "Shopkeeper, look at it, it's a total of 120 kilograms excluding the bucket. You can weigh it."
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to weigh the honey and found that the weight was correct, then he happily gave the money to Shen Ruoxi.
On the way back, Shen Ruohao danced for joy. After all, he was only thirteen years old and still a teenager. He couldn't control his emotions when things happened. "Second sister, I sold twelve taels of honey at a time!"
Shen Ruoxi said, "There are still two months left in the honey harvesting period. You can sell it three more times. You can take good care of those beehives from now on."
Shen Ruohao said excitedly, "Second sister, how about adding some more beehives?"
"It's okay." Shen Ruoxi thought for a while, "You can add five more, don't be greedy, we are still in the trial breeding period."
Shen Ruohao scratched his head, "But Shen Lei raised so many?"
Shen Ruoxi said, "It takes more energy to raise more animals. You can't take care of them alone."
Shen Erniu smiled naively, "I can help."
Shen Ruohao turned to look at Shen Ruoxi.
Shen Ruoxi couldn't refuse Shen Ruohao's expectant gaze, "Then let's raise thirty of them too."
Shen Ruohao patted Shen Erniu on the shoulder and said, "Erniu, if you are free in the future, come and help me, and I will pay you for your work."
Shen Erniu smiled honestly, "Okay, I have nothing to do today. I will help you in a while."
Shen Ruohao nodded, "Okay, tell your family clearly, otherwise they will scold you."
Shen Erniu said, "I know."
When I returned to Gushengtang, I saw an old man wearing coarse linen clothes wandering in front of the shop.
Shen Ruoxi felt strange and stepped forward to ask, "Old man, I am the owner of this drug store. What can I do for you?"
The old man looked back and suddenly felt a little happy, "Girl, since you have opened a medicine shop, you must be someone who knows medicine. Do you know these medicinal materials?"
As he spoke, he opened the cloth of the backpack and showed it to Shen Ruoxi.
It turned out that they were here to sell medicine. Shen Ruoxi looked down and said, "Mulberry white bark, isatis root, and dandelion, did you pick these yourself?"
The old man looked bitter and said, "It was the little old man who picked it. My family is not rich. I happened to encounter some medicinal materials and wanted to pick them in exchange for money. Girl, let's see how much they are worth."
I went to so many pharmacies, but no one was willing to give him money in exchange. I hope this girl is kind-hearted.
