Chapter 319 The Tall Peddler Buys Peaches



The tall man thought that these vendors were quite patient.

If a normal vendor saw a buyer eating so much but not buying anything, he would probably have given him a cold shoulder.

The tall man finished the peach in his hand and said, "Hey, kid, are these all the peaches, persimmons, and hawthorns you have in the basket?"

Second Brother Yun had been observing a tall man. When he heard the question, he immediately replied, "Big Brother, there's more than just these in the basket. There's more in the carriage."

The tall man nodded. "Okay, now count how many baskets there are."

"Okay, big brother, I'll go count now."

Second Brother Yun tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that were about to curl up, "Dad, can you please quickly check how many baskets of peaches, persimmons, and hawthorns we have left?"

Yun the butcher was also very happy. He immediately lifted the curtain and looked inside the carriage.

Soon, Butcher Yun turned around and said, "Second Brother, we still have three and a half baskets of persimmons, two baskets of peaches, and a little over one basket of hawthorns."

After Yun the Butcher finished speaking, he looked at the tall man.

Big Brother Yun and Second Brother Yun also hurriedly looked at the tall man.

When the tall man heard this, he said, "You can see that we bought these things to sell them.

"So, if the price you offer is too high and we can't make any money, we won't buy it."

After the tall man finished speaking, he spread his hands and looked like he was telling you to do whatever you want.

Second Brother Yun hurriedly pulled Butcher Yun aside and whispered, "Dad, let that older brother decide on the price himself."

"As long as the price he offers isn't too low, we'll sell it. Although we'll make more money selling it in bulk, it'll still be too slow."

"It's not suitable for us to stay in town for too long. I say, after we sell these things, we go buy some food and then hurry back."

Butcher Yun lowered his voice, "Second Brother, do you think that tall guy wouldn't deliberately underprice it? It would be nice to sell it all at once, but the price is so low, I don't think it's necessary, right?"

Second Brother Yun tugged at Yun the Butcher's sleeve and said, "Dad, don't worry. As long as he's sincere about buying, he won't deliberately offer a low price."

"Also, although they look tough on the outside, their eyes can't deceive you. They're not the kind of people who would do anything wrong."

Butcher Yun ruffled Second Brother Yun's hair and said, "You're a little devil."

Then, Yun the Butcher and Yun Erge returned to their original place.

"Brother, we sincerely want to sell it. Can you give us a price? If the price is right, we will sell it."

The tall man was stunned. "Okay, then I'll give you a price. You guys figure it out. If it's sellable, I'll buy it all."

"I'll give you twenty taels of silver for these peaches, persimmons, and hawthorns."

"After all, it's just fruit, not a meal. Besides, if I sell it, I'll just make a profit from the difference."

After the tall man finished speaking, he didn't say anything else.

Butcher Yun looked at Second Brother Yun, who nodded.

"Okay, big brother. Then we'll take the price you mentioned. We have other things to do, and we can't keep setting up the stall here forever."

"readily."

The tall man took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Yun the butcher.

Butcher Yun checked it and put the silver away.

"Big brother, look at these peaches, hawthorns, and persimmons. Where should I put them for you?"

The tall man looked back and said, "How about this, you guys pour the peaches, persimmons, and hawthorns in your baskets into our baskets."

"You guys, tidy up the baskets and prepare to load them."

The tall man said a few words to the people behind him.

The peddlers began to put the unsold items in their baskets into one basket.

After a while, they found eight empty baskets.

Butcher Yun and Brother Yun poured the peaches, hawthorns, and persimmons into the peddler's empty basket.

After more than ten minutes, Yun the Butcher and Brother Yun transferred all the peaches, hawthorns, and persimmons into the peddler's basket.

"Brother, you can see that we have given you all the peaches, persimmons, and hawthorns."

The tall man had been watching from the side and he was surprised to find that this family was quite honest. Even the baskets in the carriage were emptied very cleanly, without hiding anything.

The tall man nodded, "Okay, you can leave now."

After he finished speaking, he took a few people behind him into the inn.

Second Brother Yun pushed Butcher Yun, who hadn't reacted yet, and said, "Dad, let's go shopping quickly. Oh, and you have to return the basin to the innkeeper."

Butcher Yun was a little dizzy. He didn't expect that these peddlers could buy all the hawthorns, persimmons, and peaches at once.

"Dad, didn't you put away all the money? Okay, stop being in a daze, we really need to hurry up. It's time for lunch now."

Yun the Butcher finally reacted and went to the inn to return the basin to the owner.

After he left the inn, he drove to the grain store.

After they have lined up at the grain store and bought two bags of grain, they can head out of Shilin Town.

Here, a group of peddlers who entered the inn were also discussing them.

"General, why did you buy all the hawthorns, persimmons, and peaches they were selling? There aren't many of us in town. How long will it take to eat them all?"

"I'm afraid they'll rot before we finish eating them. That would be such a waste."

"Yes, General. We won't have to be peddlers anymore. Even if we take all these things outside the city and sell them to the refugees, I don't think many of them will buy them."

"General, let's eat these peaches, hawthorns, and persimmons. It would be a waste if we couldn't finish them and let them rot."

The tall man felt a little helpless as he listened to his subordinates' complaints. He had brought a bunch of idiots into town.

Forget it, considering the good news today, I won’t bother with them.

The tall man was Li Huailiang. He waved his hand and interrupted everyone's conversation.

"I told them that buying these things and then selling them was just an excuse."

"However, you guys can also open a stall in town and sell these things. This will also make it easier for everyone to gather information in town."

"And have you forgotten that we still have people stationed at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain?"

"After two days, when we no longer need to gather information in the town, we can transport all these things to the base and distribute them to everyone."

"Even if there are more, it won't be enough for the people in our base."

As soon as Li Huailiang finished speaking, several soldiers were a little dumbfounded.

"I'm sorry, General. We've been so busy pretending to be peddlers lately that we've forgotten about the station."
