After Grandma Wang left, the villagers gathered in front of the Li family's door and saw Li Mengyue give Grandma Wang a few coins.
In fact, everyone knew very well that the locusts caught in Grandma Wang’s small bamboo basket definitely did not weigh more than a kilogram.
But Li Mengyue was very generous. Not only did she confirm the fact of collecting locusts, but she also let everyone see Li Mengyue's character.
Originally, many villagers were worried that although Li Mengyue was a fake daughter, she was from the capital after all. Would she look down on them and would they not get along with each other?
Now they don’t have so many concerns. After all, Li Mengyue can speak to Grandma Wang gently, and they are confident that she is no worse than Grandma Wang.
So after Li Mengyue sent Grandma Wang away, she instantly felt a burning sensation on her back.
When I turned around, I was shocked.
No one wants a group of people looking at them with shining eyes.
Seeing that the villagers were eagerly waiting for her to speak, Li Mengyue did not let them wait and said seriously: "Everyone line up, come one by one."
As soon as the words fell, all the villagers dared not breathe, and quickly lined up in a long queue according to Li Mengyue's request.
When we got home, Li had already moved the tables and chairs out of the house.
"Mom, please don't bother with anything yet. Please help me go to the village chief's house and borrow some pens, ink, paper, and scales."
The reason why these things were not prepared was that it was Li Mengyue's first time doing business and she had no experience.
When she saw the great god standing before her, holding a small bamboo basket, she realized that she needed a scale and pen, ink, and paper to keep accounts.
She is doing business, and although she doesn't plan to do it for a long time, she can't be perfunctory.
After all, no matter what she does, once she makes a decision, she will go all out and will never deal with it casually.
When Mrs. Li heard her daughter's words, she immediately nodded.
After Li left, Li Mengyue said calmly, "Everyone, please be patient. We don't have a scale at home, so we can't measure it."
"Li girl, Auntie understands. You just separated yesterday and there is nothing at home. We are waiting."
"Yeah! It won't take a while anyway. We just came too early."
"Yes, we came too early and disturbed Yue's sleep!"
Li Mengyue asked everyone to wait a little longer. Not only did she not complain at all, she also found an excuse for herself, so she didn't have to waste any more words.
To be honest, she was a little surprised that people would come to her house to sell locusts before dawn, and she also gained a new understanding of the poverty in Xinghua Village.
After all, the price she paid for the locusts, one cent per pound, was really not expensive, in fact, it was a bit cheap.
However, she set this price after careful consideration.
On the one hand, although there are not many locusts on the ground now, as the eggs continue to hatch, the number of locusts will increase and will grow exponentially. By then, it is estimated that every household will catch a lot of locusts every day.
At present, not many locusts are caught, but in the process of catching, the villagers' catching ability can be trained. When the number of locusts increases, the efficiency will also increase. In the same amount of time, several times more locusts can be caught than now.
By then, even if it cost one cent per pound, it would not be a small amount.
On the other hand, she was going to make fried locusts and sell them at a stall in town. The price would not be very high, only a few cents per pound.
Families with a little more money would be willing to buy some for their children to try.
Besides, fried locusts are a delicacy that the rich cannot eat. If the price is too high, it will block the way for ordinary people to buy them.
