Qiao continued, "Little Fish, you can see for yourself, I harvested quite a lot of vegetables this time."
What you have here, I have in the ones I received over there.
At this time of year, everyone is content as long as they have some fresh vegetables to eat; they really can't ask for much more.
If you're willing, I'll take this dish for 150 coins.
If you're not willing, then there's nothing I can do!
Green vegetables are just green vegetables; eating them won't make you stronger or cure all diseases.
It is only because of this special season that they can fetch such high prices.
Otherwise, this dish, no matter how good, would only cost one or two coins under normal circumstances.
Chi Yu certainly knew this principle, but wasn't that the feeling she got from reading novels? Was that how it should be?
One hundred and fifty coins per pound would be good; she's accumulated several hundred pounds of it in her space over the past few months.
If you sell them all, you can easily get several dozen taels of silver.
This sum of money will only last for two or three months.
In terms of the returns from the land's output, it is quite substantial.
It should be noted that the yield of one mu (approximately 0.16 acres) of land is only two to three hundred jin (approximately 100-150 kg) at present.
Even without taxes, dried grains sold with the husks on only fetched five coins per pound.
This only happens in good years.
After the harvest, the people paid their taxes and sold the surplus to grain shops, using the money to buy coarse grains and noodles to eat.
If the harvest is bad, the yield per mu might only be a little over 100 jin, less than 200 jin.
Many families work hard all year, but after paying taxes, they have very little left.
There was no other way; in order to survive, they had no choice but to sell their children.
Thinking about all this, Chi Yu didn't want to say yes directly, so she pretended to hesitate and said:
"Sister Qiao, these vegetables weren't all grown by me; my elder brother and sister-in-law also helped."
Whether they're selling it or not, and how much they're asking, I'll have to ask them.
Or, you can wait a moment while I go out and ask and then I'll give you an answer.
Don't worry, I'll be quick and won't take up too much of your time.
Mrs. Qiao was tired at the moment, and upon hearing this, she said, "Then I'll go sit in the hall for a while, you hurry up!"
"Okay, definitely!"
As Chi Yu spoke, he hurriedly led the person into the main room, then rushed into the kitchen and brought out a pot of hot water.
"Sister Qiao, I only have boiled water here. Please moisten your throat first."
Mr. Qiao didn't really care about tea or anything like that.
Seeing this, she nodded slightly: "Okay, go and come back quickly!"
Chi Yu went out again not to find her sister, but to go straight to the ancestral hall to find Chen Kai.
Upon seeing him, she asked directly, "Brother Shen, how much do you pay for the vegetables from our village?"
At that time, Shen Kai had already rented oxen and donkeys from the village and was arranging for people to load the charcoal onto the carts.
Upon hearing Chi Yu's words, he said, "Miss Chi Yu, we did not buy these vegetables."
However, I do know the price.
Madam Zheng is kind-hearted; even when she comes here to buy vegetables, she doesn't deliberately try to lower the prices.
Just like in the county town, except for radishes and cabbages, everything is bought for fifty coins per pound.
When Chi Yu heard that Qiao had indeed bought them all, she thought to herself, "No wonder she was so confident in saying that she had all the vegetables I sell!"
The produce grown in a regular heated room costs 50 coins per pound, but the produce from this space is reasonably priced at 150 coins.
Having clarified these points, Chi Yu said directly, "Okay, thank you for informing me!"
Having said that, not wanting to keep Mrs. Qiao waiting any longer, she hurriedly left.
Shen Kai went to great lengths for his beloved Mu Ge.
Having finally met Chi Yu and having some free time to chat, I quickly called him over.
