Chapter 111: Big Purchase
“Ah… Tsk…”
Han Xiaojiu sneezed violently and covered his red nose tightly.
You know what, he just smelled one flower, and it really smelled better and better. Han Xiaojiu immediately stepped back five feet.
Han Yuan stared at the huge truffle in his hand and examined it carefully for a long time before he said with a gleam in his eyes, "Little girl, how about selling me this black truffle? Do you have any left?"
"Uncle," Chen Xinli glanced at Chen Xinyu, received a signal, and replied, "If you want to buy it, it's fine, but this thing is very precious, the price will be much higher, but since we are old acquaintances, I will naturally sell it to you at a lower price.
This batch of truffles was dug by my younger brother. The entire mountain area was dug clean. We have to wait and see if they will grow again next year."
Although Han Yuan was a little disappointed after hearing this, he still asked excitedly, "Then what's the price you're going to give me?"
"To be honest," Chen Xinli confidently said to Han Yuandao, "My relatives know a little bit about it, so they taught my family that the larger the diameter of this mushroom, the more precious it is, and the higher the price.
Uncle Han, look, most of the truffles in my batch are no smaller than the width of an adult's palm. They are very rare. I think it's fair to charge you two taels of silver per pound."
Han Yuan laughed happily and said, "Not a loss, not a loss."
After Chen Xinli finished speaking, she pointed to the bamboo basket full of black truffles weighing more than ten pounds and said, "I'll sell all of these to you, uncle, and I'll give you thirty taels of silver. How about that?"
"That would be great," Han Yuan personally took the bamboo basket and asked Han Xiaojiu to take out three ingots of ten taels of silver and handed it directly to Chen Xinli.
"Thank you for taking care of our business. Here are some fresh bamboo fungus we picked. I'll give them to you to try."
Chen Xinli smiled and asked her elder brother to give two baskets of fresh bamboo fungus to Han Yuan.
Han Yuan naturally accepted it with a smile.
After discussing about sending the fruit after three days, the uncle and nephew left with their bamboo baskets contentedly, and Chen Xinli and her family became busy again.
"Brother Yu, this is the money I earned from selling your black mushrooms. I'll give it all to you," Chen Xinli handed him the money with a smile.
"No, no, Sister Ali, just save these for buying food and daily necessities for the family."
The two children argued for a long time, and it was Shen Fuyou who made the decision, "If Xinyu needs money, just go home and get it." Of course, it would be safer for an adult to keep such a white silver ingot.
Shen Fuyou was no longer as frightened as he was the first time he received the huge sum of twenty taels.
Now when I look at the silver ingots, I feel happy no matter how I look at them!
Chen Xinyu now lives with her family.
The children belong to your own family.
Shen Fuyou was so happy that he was almost beaming with joy.
There were some unsold items left on the Shen family's cart, including eggs and tea seeds.
The group quickly returned to the market and planned to sell the eggs.
The layout of Sifang County is a main street running from north to south.
On the west side is a big market and a few scattered small mobile vendors. Opposite is a row of restaurants and shops, extending all the way to the east. There are all kinds of shops on both sides. Although small, they have everything they need.
The oil mill is located in a warehouse at the back of a small alley behind the market.
While her second uncle and his men were selling eggs, Chen Xinli and her eldest brother followed the aromatic molecules in the air to the oil mill.
When you enter the oil mill, the air is filled with the long and lingering smell of old oil, which makes you want to sneeze immediately.
"Are you two here to get some oil? Don't the amount of seeds you have is enough for harvesting?"
The old shopkeeper saw a young man coming over with a bamboo basket on his back and subconsciously looked over. Although he didn't know what kind of seeds these were, these few were not enough for them to operate the machine once.
"Shopkeeper, if it's a large quantity, then is that okay?"
Chen Xinli stared at the oil mill in front of her curiously.
Although this is different from the oil mill in the village when I was a child, the principle is the same.
But there were cobwebs everywhere, the machine was bulky and rough, and even dust could be seen on the wooden wedges used for impact. It was obvious that this equipment had not been used for a long time.
"Of course you can, but you need to weigh at least 100 pounds."
Chen Xinli thought that there were only so many camellia seeds picked at home, which seemed not enough. If it really didn't work, she could just squeeze them herself at home, which would be the same, just a little more troublesome. Next year, if she could harvest more camellia seeds, she would be able to do it.
"Thank you for telling me, old man. We'll come again later!" Chen Xinli thanked the shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper waved his hand in disappointment, returned to the counter and sat down with his back hunched, not knowing what he was busy with.
When the two returned to the market, all the eggs had been sold, and they had earned about two taels and seven cents of silver.
"Uncle, Aunt and Mother have told us that we must go buy lard, salt and soy sauce first," Shen Jinshan put the bamboo basket on the cart, and seeing that his uncle was already dizzy with joy, he could not help but remind him.
"Yes, buy, buy more." Shen Fuyou replied.
Chen Xinli shouted, "Second Uncle, we need to buy more meat, candy, rice and noodles."
"Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll buy them all."
A group of people pulled the cart towards the grocery store in the east.
Chen Xinyu looked at the shop signs one by one... The words on them were all familiar to him, but he didn't know if he could still pick up a pen.
Zhang Xiaodi, Shen Jinlin, Shen Yulin and others looked left and right, and kept looking in the direction of the noisy situation on the street.
There were many hawking sounds and the mixed aroma of various meats and foods tempting them.
"Let's go to the grocery store first," Chen Xinli pulled her second uncle and quickly crossed the market, followed by a group of brothers.
This was the first time the group had gone shopping in such a relaxed manner.
