Meeting Dong Nuan's expectant gaze, Han Jianglou said harshly: "No, Nuan Ya, the mountains are too dangerous, you can't go."
Hanjianglou felt that he was working hard and tired, and even came to the town to work as a coolie, but he was not willing to venture into the mountains and forests in the warm winter.
"It's not dangerous." Dong Nuan didn't think the mountains and forests were dangerous, and he never saw any small animals.
Small animals:.
You are scarier than us, thank you.
Seeing Dong Nuan's innocent and ignorant look, Han Jianglou felt that it was necessary to tell her about the dangers in the mountains and forests!
Thinking of this, he turned around, held Dong Nuan's shoulders, asked her to look directly at him as much as possible, and said in a deep voice: "Nuan Ya, there are ferocious wild boars, wolves, and other animals in the mountains. They are all very dangerous."
It's fierce and wild. I heard that in the early days there were bears, which could really tear people alive, so you can't go there."
In Hanjianglou's view, the fruits picked by Dongnuan are so good, maybe because they have entered the deep mountains, and the dangers there are even more unknown!
He couldn't let a child like Dong Nuan take this risk.
Dong Nuan was about to speak when she heard hurried footsteps behind her.
Two well-dressed women were walking out together, but their brows were furrowed. As they walked, they muttered: "What should we do?"
"That's right, where can I find it here?"
“There are only a few fruit shops in town, so if we can’t do it, we have to go to the county town.”
"But there are no good ones in the county. If there were any, the young master would have brought them back long ago."
"That's right. If there are good ones in the county, why would the young master ask us to go to the countryside to look for them? But we don't know anyone in the village. It seems that we have to go to the broker Zhang."
…
Two women passed by, and Dong Nuan listened to their words with perked ears.
My ears keenly caught two words: fruit.
Looking at the clothes of the two people, although the clothes are not very new, they are made of good quality and are clean. Their hair is neatly combed and there are silver hairpins on them. At first glance, they are the wives of rich masters.
There are quite a few wealthy gentlemen around here. No matter which one they are, they are willing to spend a little money to buy some fresh fruits, right?
Although Hanjianglou disagrees, business is already coming to your door, so why send it away?
Thinking of this, Dong Nuan shook Han Jianglou's hand, then turned around and went to talk to the two women.
"Two aunts, please wait a moment." Dong Nuan's voice was crisp and sweet, and the word "aunt" was even softer.
The two women were in a hurry to think of a solution, but when they heard someone calling them, their voices were still sweet. Even though they were upset and in a bad mood because of the hot weather, they turned around with a good face.
She looked like a plainly dressed little girl. One look at the little girl's appearance and she knew which village she was from nearby.
The two women looked at each other, and it was unclear why Dong Nuan stopped them.
But when the two people looked at each other, they both thought of a word.
In the village!
Village girl, maybe you know if there are particularly fresh and delicious fruits in the village?
Seeing the two aunts stop and look back, Dong Nuan took two steps forward, smiled sweetly and said: "I didn't intend to eavesdrop on what the two aunts were saying, but I accidentally passed by and listened.
Auntie, are you trying to find some fresh and delicious fruits for your family?"
After asking the question, without waiting for the two women to respond, Dong Nuan continued to ask: "Are you looking for fruits that look better and taste better? There are some in the mountains in our village, and I have been to a few.
The peaches I picked this time were about this big. When they were first picked, they were crisp, tender and sweet. After one or two days of storage, they became soft, juicy and tasted great. It’s just that it’s dangerous in the mountains. If you pick the fruits, you might accidentally get them.
It’s easy to run into wild animals.”
Dong Nuan said and gestured, the peach was almost bigger than her face, and each one weighed almost a kilogram.
When the two women heard about the beast, their faces turned pale with fright, but they didn't show it obviously.
After all, she is the mother-in-law of a wealthy family, and she is mentally strong. She was stunned for a moment and then recovered.
After I regained my composure, I was stunned again when I saw the size of Xiangdong Nuan's gestures and the described taste.
The two people quickly looked at each other, and then a round-faced woman said with a smile: "Little girl, we are the mothers-in-law of the Zhou family, and we also want to do things for the master's family. Our second young wife has a child for the family.
Now I just want to take a bite of good peaches, and we have bought them from all over the town and county, but the second young lady is not satisfied. If the little girl has a way, our master is willing to pay a good price."
At this point, she turned to look at the other woman, who immediately understood, smiled and continued: "Our master's family is the most tolerant and generous. If the little girl really has such a big peach, if it tastes sweet,
The meat is tender and the price is good.”
Afraid that the little girl wouldn't be moved if she didn't mention the specific amount of money, the first woman said: "Our family has already paid fifty cents for a peach as big as this in the town and county. If the little girl's peach really has
If you make such a big gesture, the old lady will decide in private and offer you eighty cents."
The second young lady has added a pair of golden grandchildren to the family, and now is the time when she is most favored. The good things from the family are sent to her yard like water.
She just wants to eat some delicious peaches. Although she is in confinement and cannot eat them cold, there is always a way to get them into her mouth if they are steamed, boiled and made into porridge.
It would be great for grandma from a wealthy family to take advantage of her confinement to act coquettishly and seek some benefits. It was just a little bit of food and drink. The old lady was happy now, and she let them purchase and arrange it with a wave of her hand.
The previous peaches were priced at fifty cents per catty, and the two women still had oil and water to touch them. If they were as big as Dongnuan, the price was easy to say, and they really won the favor of the owner, then the rewards would be indispensable.
This is much more valuable than being greedy for money, and it can also make the host family remember them.
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone, but the question now is, can Dongnuan really get such peaches?
The two women are now in a critical condition and have sought medical treatment. Not only do they want to make a deal with Dong Nuan, they are also planning to find a broker and several sellers. After shopping around, they will send the best one to the owner.
Summer is the best time for fruits, so the prices of most fruits are not high.
But compared to grain, fruit is what wealthy people eat. Who in an ordinary farmyard has the spare money to buy that?
Along the way just now, Dong Nuan had already inquired about prices. The best peaches she had seen along the way were only 40 cents a pound.
The price offered by the other party is actually doubled on this basis.
However, compared to the good-quality peaches of the size that Dongnuan indicated, the price is actually a bit lower.
But if you do business for the first time, you can achieve success and slowly open up the market.
After thinking about it in her mind, Dong Nuan nodded with a smile and said: "Auntie, I will ask my eldest brother to come over tomorrow to deliver peaches."
While talking, Dong Nuan pulled Hanjiang Lou over and signaled to the two women.
When the two women heard that there was something going on, they said with a round-faced smile: "Well, we are at Mr. Zhou's house where we are throwing wedding money today. Tomorrow the eldest son will come over. He will go directly to the side door and ask for Mrs. Wu."
"Then I'll go back and figure out how to pick peaches. I'll see you later, Aunt Wu." Dong Nuan smiled obediently, said goodbye to the two women, and then took Hanjiang Lou away.
