Just as Lin Jiuyue and others were packing up their stall, a man ran over from a distance.
"Huh, here we are. Little girl, what's that rapeseed sprout you sell called? Where is it?"
The man who came was running out of breath. He asked breathlessly.
"Sorry, we're sold out of rapeseed sprouts today."
"What? Sold out? So quickly?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, it's sold out. However, if you're not in a hurry to eat it, we'll sell it again tomorrow. You can come earlier then."
The visitor frowned when he heard Lin Jiuyue's words.
"But my master heard you were selling rapeseed sprouts here, so he specifically asked me to come and buy them. Little girl, do you have any left? Even a pound would be fine."
Lin Jiuyue smiled and shook her head.
"It's really out of stock. You can only buy it tomorrow if you want."
After hearing this, the visitor had a sad face.
"Little girl, please help me think of a solution! My master loves to eat. He heard that you have some rare things at home, so he specially asked me to come and buy them. If I can't buy them back, I will definitely be punished when I go back."
Lin Jiuyue frowned when she heard this.
The last of the rapeseed sprouts had already been bought by Shopkeeper Xing of Yipinlou. Where could I find some for this man? Unless, unless I went to the fields and picked some right now.
"Brother, we are indeed sold out of rapeseed moss. However, if you really want to buy some and don't mind the trouble, I can go back and get some more."
When the visitor heard Lin Jiuyue's words, a glimmer of hope instantly appeared on his disappointed face.
"Really? Girl, are you serious? Can you really go back and get some?"
Lin Jiuyue nodded.
"Yes, but it will take some time."
The visitor waved his hands quickly.
"How long will it take? Can it be delivered before dark?"
"Yes, how much do you want?"
The visitor stretched out two fingers and gestured.
"Two pounds?"
"No, girl, if you only buy two kilograms, I'd be embarrassed to make you make another trip. I'll buy twenty kilograms."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Twenty kilograms? Could his owner be a big eater? Even if you were going to eat rapeseed moss as a meal, you wouldn't need to buy twenty kilograms at once.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. I'm a servant in the Qiu Mansion. There are more than a hundred people in the Qiu Mansion. Twenty kilograms of vegetables is considered a small amount."
Lin Jiuyue asked curiously.
"Your Qiu Mansion's food is so good? Can the servants eat fresh vegetables in winter?"
The visitor shook his head.
"That's impossible. Besides the servants, there are more than thirty masters. Twenty kilograms of vegetables won't be much left after frying. It's only enough for the masters to eat."
Lin Jiuyue: ...
Vegetables are vegetables, rice is rice, twenty kilograms of rapeseed sprouts, more than thirty people, how can they not finish it?
However, since the other party said they want so much, I can't just hold on to it and not sell it, right?
"Okay, then, do you want to wait here, or do you want me to send it to the Qiu Mansion after I get it?"
The man thought about it.
"I'll pay the silver first, and you can send it directly to the Qiu Mansion when the time comes. By the way, how much is this rapeseed moss?"
"Over two catties, nine copper coins per catty. Since you bought a lot, I'll charge you eight copper coins per catty."
The man didn't bargain and directly took out one hundred and sixty copper coins from his purse.
"Twenty pounds, one hundred and sixty copper coins. Miss, count them. If there's nothing wrong, I'll leave."
Lin Jiuyue threw the copper coins directly into the wooden box.
"No need to count, I believe you."
This simple action made the man have a much better impression of Lin Jiuyue.
"Miss, you have helped me so much today. Thank you so much. Please bring the food to the back door of the Qiu Mansion. There will be someone there to receive it."
The man said this and left.
When Lin Jiuyue told the man that she wanted to go back to get rapeseed, Xiyue had already begun to quietly prepare the carriage.
As soon as the man left, Xiyue drove the carriage out.
"Miss, the carriage is ready."
Lin Jiuyue looked at Xiyue with admiration.
This girl is becoming more and more perceptive.
For fear of delaying the affairs of the Qiu Mansion, Lin Jiuyue took Xiyue, Lai Fu and Lai Cai away, leaving Aunt Li alone in the grain shop waiting for Uncle Li.
This time, he did not return to the village, but asked Xiyue to drive the carriage directly to the rapeseed field.
It only took four people about a quarter of an hour to pick twenty kilograms of rapeseed.
Back in town, Lin Jiuyue asked Lai Fu and Lai Cai to deliver the rapeseed sprouts to the Qiu family. She and Xiyue waited in the grain store.
As soon as the carriage left, Uncle Li came back.
"Uncle Li, why don't you chat with Manager Xing for a while? You're back so soon."
Uncle Li chuckled twice.
"Miss, we have talked long enough. I am afraid that you will get impatient waiting, so I thought of coming back first."
"Oh, Miss, when I was chatting with Shopkeeper Xing, Shopkeeper Xing revealed a piece of news to me."
It would be more accurate to say that he revealed it to Lin Jiuyue rather than to Uncle Li.
"Oh? What news?"
Lin Jiuyue asked Uncle Li to deliver rapeseed sprouts to Yipintang, but it was not just for the purpose of asking Uncle Li to deliver the rapeseed sprouts.
"Miss, Shopkeeper Xing said that although the Yipinlou restaurant in town is just a branch, if there are any outstanding dishes, the branch will share them with the main restaurant."
After listening to this, Lin Jiuyue lowered her head and began to think.
If this is true, then the main store, Yipinlou in Beijing, will also serve stir-fried rapeseed sprouts.
As long as the head office takes a liking to the dish of stir-fried rapeseed sprouts, they will definitely come to order rapeseed from us.
I was worried that I wouldn't be able to sell all the rapeseed sprouts I planted on my 20 mu of land. Now it seems I don't have enough to sell!
"Let's go back first. We'll talk about the rest later."
After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she took Uncle Li and his family back to the village.
As for Lai Fu and Lai Cai, they can just stay in the shop in the town and wait until tomorrow to open the shop and sell rapeseed.
In the morning, Lin Jiuyue was pulling a cart of rapeseed moss to the town and was seen by the villagers. When he came back, the news that Lin Jiuyue was pulling rapeseed moss to the town had spread throughout the village.
"Miss Lin, I heard you brought a cartload of rapeseed moss to town. Where's your rapeseed moss?"
Lin Jiuyue was stunned when she first heard this, but then she quickly figured it out.
As long as there is any movement in any family in the village, it will spread to the whole village in no time.
Especially when it comes to their own home, the villagers pay more attention to it.
"Rapeseed moss? Sold it."
There is nothing to hide about selling rapeseed sprouts.
There are always villagers in the village who go out to the streets. I sell rapeseed sprouts in front of the grain store so that the villagers can see me.
