Chapter 9: Red Fire

This is the season when mountain mushrooms just come out. There are also many new vegetables in this season, so you don’t have to worry about vegetables at all.

But no matter what happens, Yamagu will still lead the way every year.

In addition, the grandfather and grandson were shouting hard, and soon, someone came to their stall.

"Oh, it's really a chicken fungus. I've been looking for it in the market these past two days. You're the first to buy it. How many are there? I want them all!"

The visitor was dressed in cotton and silk, and was followed by two boys carrying backpacks. He looked like the purchasing manager of a wealthy family.

Old Yuan had come here to sell things, and he still had the same look in his eyes.

At that moment, they greeted each other enthusiastically, "Oh, this is so kind. There are seven and a half kilograms in total here! Master, do you want all of them? Okay! I'll give you a title right now!"

As he said that, Old Yuan took the steelyard and lifted up the basket containing the gallbladder mushrooms. The head of the eight-pound basket was still tilted up! Seven and a half kilograms is definitely not bad.

"Okay, give them all to me, and give me a ten-pound piece of this mountain fungus!" The steward said again: "Sister, I see your dishes are fresh, and I want to buy them too, just the same.

Give me some too!"

This is a great start!

Old Yuan responded and continued to weigh the mushrooms. Song Qiu helped put the weighed mushrooms into the boy's backpack.

After everything was weighed, it was just a matter of calculating the general ledger. The old god in charge was there and didn't say anything even after the calculation was done. He just waited for Old Yuan to speak for himself.

Old Yuan had never calculated so many things at once, and it was hard to calculate for a while.

"How much? Have you calculated it? I'm still busy buying fish." the steward urged.

Seeing this, Song Qiu, who had already settled the matter, couldn't help but open his mouth and said: "A total of one hundred and twenty-four dollars!"

When the steward heard this, he looked towards Song Qiu. He had never noticed this skinny little girl. He never thought that her grandma had not figured it out, but this little girl had figured it out so quickly.

"Are you sure it's that much? Is the calculation correct?"

When Old Yuan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, my granddaughter has been selling vegetables to me since she was a child. She can settle accounts better than me. You can't be wrong!"

"The calculation is correct. Let me tell you, seven and a half kilograms of gallinobacteria cost ten cents per catty, which is seventy-five cents. Ten kilograms of mountain fungi, three cents per catty, cost thirty cents. Five kilograms of long beans cost five cents.

, three catties of eggplant cost three cents, three catties of pepper cost six cents, five catties of courgette cost five cents, a total of one hundred and twenty-four cents, that’s right!”

Song Qiu spoke unhurriedly and clearly. She was just selling vegetables, and she wasn't stealing from anyone. If she was timid, she wouldn't look like one.

The steward couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and then took out a bunch of copper plates and twenty-four scattered copper plates, handed them to Old Yuan, without saying much, just said: "If there are still chickens next time,

Remember to keep the fir fungus for me, I have to come to the market every day to buy vegetables, so I’m sure to find it.”

"Okay! If there is any, I will assign it to you, the master!"

Galli mushrooms sell well, but they are very hard to find. Old Yuan is not sure if there will be any more next time, but this gentleman is a generous shopper and does not bargain with prices, so it is natural to sell them to him. If there are any, I will definitely keep them.

.

The first business got off to a good start, earning more than 100 yuan in one fell swoop. Old Yuan was happy, but she also knew that the money should not be exposed, so she hurriedly put away all the coins carefully.

Panshi Town is affluent, and those who carry baskets to buy vegetables wear fine cotton at best. If they don’t have to worry about clothes, they naturally don’t have to worry about food. In addition, vegetables are necessities. Who doesn’t buy them?

In a market, almost every stall was visited by people buying vegetables, fish, meat, and chicken. It was very lively.

Song Qiu and the rest of the stall saw off the first customer, and soon the second customer came, who came to buy mountain mushrooms, and also some eggplants and peppers.

The mountain mushrooms first came on the market and sold out very quickly. Even before the morning market ended, all the baskets of mountain mushrooms were sold out.

There was still a lot of food left, so I continued to drink.

Until the end of the morning market, there were only a few people buying things in the market. There were only two handfuls of long beans, a few eggplants, half a basket of peppers and a few courgettes left!

With all the money on their backs, naturally it would be best to sell out, so the grandfather and grandson continued to guard it.

There are still many stalls that have not sold out their goods and have not closed them down, and there are also people who come to the market sporadically.

In this way, when the sun was getting higher and Song Qiu's stomach was growling, the morning market finally ended, with only two or three courgettes and a small handful of peppers left unsold.

"Let's carry this little bit back. It's not heavy. Are you hungry? Let's go, I'll take you to have a bowl of noodles." Old Yuan said as he cleaned up the stall.

He carried the remaining vegetables and baskets in his big basket, and then took Song Qiu, who was carrying the small basket, to the entrance of the market, where he went to the clerk and returned the wooden sign.

A street across from the market, across a covered bridge, is another market, which specializes in selling morning food and various snacks.

The morning market had closed, and there were not many people still eating the morning meal. Old Yuan took Song Qiu to a noodle stall and ordered two bowls of plain noodles, which were served quickly.

It is said to be plain noodles, but it is really clear and watery. Apart from a few chopped green onions, it is just a pinch of noodles, which is better than light.

Song Qiu was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back, so he took the chopsticks and began to slurp away the food.

After all, I got up in the middle of the night to rush on my way, and now, looking at this day, it is at least ten o'clock in the future. It is strange that I am not hungry.

White noodles are a little more expensive than rice these days. This bowl of noodles, which only costs 2 taels, costs 2 cents a bowl. Isn’t it a waste if I don’t drink all the soup?

In a moment, Song Qiu ate all the bowl of noodles with soup. She was not picky about what she ate, and she could eat everything as long as it was not too hard to swallow.

Old Yuan also finished eating, and carefully took out four copper coins from the other money bag he brought to pay for the noodles. The grandson and grandson left the noodle stall with their baskets on their backs.

After crossing the bridge, we returned to Ankangfang where the market is located.

"Go to the Cloth Shop and have a look. Tomorrow we will have a banquet, and we will have to give you two feet of red cloth."

Facing the long street is a row of shops, including grocery stores, grain and oil stores, embroidery shops, and cloth shops.

Lao Yuan walked into Wangji Cloth Shop, which sold cloth for ordinary people.

The promised two feet of red cloth were bought, but Old Yuan was not in a hurry to pay the bill and start looking at the other cloths.

When the waiter saw that she was interested, he hurriedly introduced her.

Song Qiula couldn't hold him back, so Old Yuan took the initiative and bought enough cloth to make clothes for Song Qiu.

After leaving Buzhuang, Old Yuan said: "It only cost a dozen yuan. I have sold so much money today. When I go back, I will pay back the 100 yuan from your grandpa Zhang's house first. We will talk about it later with your uncle."

,Not urgent."

I bought two feet of cloth for the banquet, but can I still buy a little cloth to make clothes for my granddaughter?

The reason why I can get so much money from selling it today is because my granddaughter picked up the older gallinophilia.

It's just for her to have such a single granddaughter.
