Dress up as a farmer's wife from the Wang family and fight for the best with space
Chapter 107 Purchase of Manure
Gu Yunxi negotiated the price with Shopkeeper Du, and Shopkeeper Du called two guys to move the honeysuckle to the Lu family's carriage at the door.
Thanks to Gu Yunxi who moved a few extra bags today, the man brought the honeysuckle from the carriage into the store. After weighing it, the total was five hundred and twenty kilograms.
There was an extra twenty kilograms. Shopkeeper Du waved his hand and accepted it together, and asked the accountant to settle the money.
Gu Yunxi took out a separate box from the carriage and handed it to Shopkeeper Du.
"Shopkeeper Du, this wooden box was made by my father-in-law and my husband when they were free. It contains some honeysuckle. It's not something expensive. Just treat it as something new."
Shopkeeper Du was a little surprised. This young lady from the Lu family was really good at being a good person. She even gave him a box of honeysuckle in such good quality.
The purchase price of their drug store is one hundred and ten cents per catty. If it were sold for a profit, the price would more than double!
"Oh, how embarrassing..." Shopkeeper Du took the wooden box handed over by Gu Yunxi, a little shy.
Gu Yunxi smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Du treats our family well. This is just a little thought. Shopkeeper Du just accept it."
The two declined, but Shopkeeper Du finally accepted it.
Gu Yunxi took the settled silver, totaling fifty-seven taels, with two hundred cash left.
Excluding the two days' wages for asking the villagers to pick honeysuckle, which was more than 20 taels, the Lu family made a total net profit of more than 50 taels from this trip.
Gu Yunxi thought for a moment and estimated that it would only be half a month before the next picking, and he still had to continue fertilizing the honeysuckle.
She told Father Lu: "Dad, go back and invite ten or eight more people to spend a day fertilizing the fields."
Gu Yunxi has always felt that she couldn't bear to fertilize with feces. Every time she fertilized, she stayed far away, so she always relied on Father Lu and He.
Father Lu thought for a moment and said, "Yunxi, there seems to be no chicken or duck manure in the house now."
Previously, the family used manure pits or organic fertilizers such as chicken, duck, and horse manure to fertilize. These days, almost all the manure pits in the village have been used.
Gu Yunxi suggested: "Dad, look at which household sells chicken dung and duck dung. You can also buy some back."
Basically every household in the village has chickens and ducks, and chicken and duck manure is also common, but no one has ever spent money to buy it.
Father Lu felt a little undecided and asked, "Yunxi, no one has ever sold this thing in the village, so I don't know how to set the price?"
These things are not valuable, but if they are large in quantity and not light in weight, and the villagers think they can exchange them for some money, then they will be happy no matter how cheap they are.
She thought for a moment and said, "Dad, how about half a penny a pound."
Father Lu agreed, and when he got home, he went to work collecting feces and asking someone to fertilize.
Gu Yunxi handed the money he earned to Mr. He and asked him to divide it.
However, Mrs. He stepped back and said: "Yunxi, my father and mother have discussed it. You earned the house and the fields at home. With these, we have already benefited from your blessing. You can just keep the money earned from Houyaotian."
"Mom, this..." Gu Yunxi was a little surprised. There were more than fifty taels of silver, and He just pushed it back to her without blinking?
However, Mr. He made up his mind and refused to accept it no matter what. Gu Yunxi had no choice but to collect the money.
She felt a little emotional. Sure enough, meeting a good mother-in-law can reduce a lot of conflicts!
The money she had was indeed used for another purpose. She had originally thought that she would have to discuss it with her mother-in-law to get the money, but now she didn't have to ask for it herself, it was all solved.
After putting away the money, Gu Yunxi looked at the bags of honeysuckle piled in the corner, holding his forehead, feeling a little headache.
There seems to be a lot of honeysuckle, estimated to be several hundred kilograms. The town drugstore can only feed 500 kilograms, and the rest seems to be taken to the county town for a look.
Gu Yunxi was not familiar with Yang County. She thought about it and decided to wait until Lu Jianchuan took a rest before taking Honeysuckle to the county town to have a look.
Just as he was thinking about this, Father Lu came back from outside. He was smiling and quickly asked He and Gu Yunxi to get bags and go to the open space at the door to collect manure.
Mr. He didn't know that Father Lu had discussed with Gu Yunxi to collect manure and looked at him with doubts.
"My dear, hurry up. I just went to tell many families in the village that there is plenty of manure that can be sold to us."
While Dad Lu was explaining to her, he went to push the family's wheelbarrow, planning to transport the manure to the medicine field later.
Although He was still a little confused, seeing that Gu Yunxi was already busy, she followed him out.
Soon, I saw the villagers carrying or carrying manure, and the Chaolu family came over.
Gu Yunxi took the steel scale from the house and the two hundred coins he got from selling honeysuckle in town today.
At this time, a woman and a half-year-old girl were carrying a large bag and placed it heavily in front of Gu Yunxi.
The woman held her waist and wiped away her sweat before saying, "Daughter-in-law of Jianchuan, I heard from your father-in-law that your family collects manure, right?"
Gu Yunxi nodded and said, "Yes, Auntie, half a penny a pound."
When the woman heard this, she pointed to the sack on the ground and said, "Then help me weigh it. It's all chicken and duck dung that my family has been saving for a long time."
Gu Yunxi nodded, and together with Mr. He, he opened the sack and divided the feces inside into several bags.
First, you can check whether the feces sent by the villagers are genuine and not adulterated with other things.
Secondly, the steelyard at home is not big enough, and the weight that can be weighed is also limited, so it can only be divided into several times.
After packing and weighing everything, Gu Yunxi did the math and said to the woman: "Aunt, the total here is fifty-three kilograms. According to half a penny per kilogram, that is twenty-six and half penny. We will give it to you. Twenty-seven coins, round up."
After Gu Yunxi finished speaking, he took out the two hundred coins from his waistband, counted out twenty-seven coins, and handed it to the woman.
The woman took it with a smile, took away her manure bag, and then took the girl away.
The other villagers who were watching were all surprised. They originally thought that Father Lu was just teasing everyone by talking about collecting manure.
Unexpectedly, even manure can be sold for money! Everyone ran home quickly...
Soon, with Gu Yunxi and He at the center, villagers lined up carrying manure.
Gu Yunxi couldn't finish the work, so he called Lu Qingqing and Yun Le, who were drawing patterns, to come out to help, and it was only in You that they finished.
When there was not enough change in the process, He hurriedly went into the house and took it out again. This time, the Lu family collected thousands of kilograms of manure.
"Okay, now you don't have to worry about running out of manure." Gu Yunxi patted the clothes on his body and felt that his whole body was filled with a strange smell.
She quickly went to boil water to take a bath...
