Chapter 532: Collecting beans

"No, no," the old man waved his hand, "What's the trouble? Everyone is back for dinner at this time and everyone is at home."

"When the time comes, I'll ask a few of them and ask other young people to follow me. It won't take more than a stick of incense to inform them."

The old man really didn't lie when he said it was fast, but within a moment of tea, people were already coming over carrying sweet potatoes.

"Uncle Zheng, Uncle Zheng, I heard that the sweet potato harvester is at your house. Has he left? Am I not late?"

Before I saw him, I heard his voice first.

A rough and heroic male voice came from outside the door. The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, with a slight embarrassment on his face.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the people here are more bold and loud."

"It's nothing, old man. My grandpa and others also talk like this. They are not so particular."

As he was talking, he heard the courtyard becoming more and more lively.

"Eh? Da Liu, you are so fast, you picked out all the sweet potatoes?"

"No, I heard from Zheng Da that it's only three cents per catty. The price is higher than what's sold on the street, so why are you hesitating? There's no place to sell it!"

"But why did you come here empty-handed? Where is your sweet potato?"

The man scratched his head and said, "Let me take a look first. If this is true, it won't be too late to go back and pick it up. The price of sweet potatoes in the past two years has been one penny per catty. I'm afraid her three cents and two catties are fake. Let's take a look first." ”

Listening to the conversation in the yard, the old man couldn't sit still, for fear that they would say something treacherous again, which would make Su Ziling and the others unhappy.

What if they turn around and leave? They have never seen another one with such a high price.

"Miss Su, let's go out and take a look?"

Su Ziling stood up and followed him, "Okay, old man, in addition to sweet potatoes, if you have red beans, mung beans, soybeans or peas at home, you can also send them over. We all want them."

Su Ziling reported the price again, and she could clearly feel the old man's surprise.

He slowly turned to look at her, "Do you want these beans? How many do you want?"

"Yes!" Su Ziling nodded heavily.

The old man's face turned red with excitement, and his hands were trembling slightly, "Well, it's too late today. You have to go to the next village. So, I will tell them later when everyone is here, and let everyone go home and prepare. Okay, I’ll send it to you tomorrow, do you think that’s okay?”

"Of course it's done. Don't be so anxious, old man. The sweet potatoes can be delivered first, and the others can be delivered slowly. We have people over there all the time to collect them."

"No rush, no rush, we're not in a hurry." The old man was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Not urgent?

He's not in a hurry. This is the first time he's seen such a high price, so it's strange that he's not in a hurry.

He wished he could quickly gather the things and send them over now, because he was afraid that it would be too late and Su Ziling wouldn't want them.

When a few people went out, they saw a lot of people standing in the yard. Some of them were carrying baskets of sweet potatoes, but most of them came to see whether they were genuine or not.

Seeing them coming out, people in the yard began to whisper.

"Come on, come on, are they the two of you who want sweet potatoes?"

"My dear, aren't you a little young at this age? How can you be reliable!"

"I've seen these two!"

"Do you know him? Where did you meet him?"

"Oh, I saw them passing by while I was working."

"Tch! That's nonsense."

Seeing that Su Ziling and Twenty were so young, and their clothes were not very flashy, their clothes were the same as theirs, but the fabric was newer and cleaner.

Those people's hearts were half cold, but someone still asked: "Uncle Zheng, are these two just here to buy sweet potatoes?"

"Yes, it's Miss Su who wants to sell it. Has the boss told you about the price? If you want to sell it, you can go back and pick it up if it's washed. You can wash the unwashed ones at night and send them over tomorrow."

"In addition, Miss Su also needs red beans, mung beans, peas and soybeans. If you have any at home, you can prepare them."

"Let's wait until the afternoon. Pull out the ox cart and let everyone send it there together. Know the way and you will be able to find it next time."

When they heard that she wanted so many beans, everyone looked at each other in disbelief.

"I wonder where Miss Su lives? What do you plan to do with so many sweet potatoes and beans?"

Su Ziling pursed her lips and smiled, "My home is in Baihua Cave. Walk along the road and turn towards Lumen Mountain at the fork in the road. Our family has a tea shop there, and the beans are naturally used to make tofu. "

After listening to her words, everyone felt more and more that she was a liar. Is this villager harvesting beans to make tofu?

Who needs so many beans to make tofu? How much tofu do you need to make in one day to use it all?

Besides, so many beans don’t last long. According to their climate, they will be eaten by insects in the coming year, leaving only a bag of ashes.

Su Ziling obviously saw everyone's hesitation, she smiled and continued: "There is also a small workshop at home, specially used for making sweet potatoes, and there is a restaurant in the county that sells tofu, soy flour, etc., so The demand is still huge, and I understand everyone’s concerns.”

"In this way, you can go back and eat first, and then prepare the things. I will go to the opposite village to collect some more. In the afternoon, I will come back and weigh the scales for you directly at Uncle Zheng's house, and settle the money at once. But then I will have to trouble everyone to help deliver some. Give me something, otherwise my brother and I won’t be able to pick out so many things.”

After listening to her words, everyone's expressions changed. Now they will pay for the weighing, so they won't be afraid of being cheated.

"Okay! Miss Su, right? Then we will trust you once. Let's go back. Get your things ready and come over in the afternoon to have them weighed."

Those who came with sweet potatoes were still standing aside waiting. Su Ziling raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "If you are worried, I can weigh it and pay you now."

"No, no, no, we trust Uncle Zheng. Just come and weigh the sweet potatoes in the afternoon. We can go back and wash some more."

After they finished speaking, they turned around and left. Seeing Su Ziling's determined look just now, they decided to go back and wash some more. The ones they picked up now were washed yesterday.

I originally planned to sell it at the market tomorrow, but I happened to meet Su Ziling coming to buy it, and the price she gave was higher than the price at the market.

Naturally, it would be sold to her first.

Hearing her saying that she was going to the opposite village, the old man followed her, "I'm familiar with the people in the next village, so let me go with you."

"No need, Uncle Zheng, just go and do whatever you need to do. There is still a lot of work in the fields, so don't delay the work in the fields."

Su Ziling was naturally happy when she heard that he was going to accompany them, but she also knew that there was a lot of work in the fields, and if she just missed a day, it would be a lot of work.

"I don't want to delay, and I can't delay. There are many people in the family, and they are enough for the work in the fields." The old man walked in front, "I will take you to the small road."

"Then I'll trouble Uncle Zheng."

"No trouble, you don't know, we are very happy that you can come and sell these things, and it has given you more income. These things can be sold at the market, but they can't be sold at a high price. "

It could be seen that the old man was really happy and talked to them a lot along the way.

With the old man leading the way, it was indeed much faster and more efficient. Seeing that it was the old man who led the way, no one doubted it.

I went back to prepare food according to what she asked for. Even when I heard that she asked for duck eggs, and she still had one penny, I was so happy.

They can't sell them at this price when they go to the market, and duck eggs are not as popular as chicken eggs. Eggs can be sold out in any quantity, but not duck eggs.

Su Ziling was straightforward. After collecting the items and weighing them, she gave them the money directly. She gave them neatly and those people were happy to sell them.

Even when she asked them to help deliver it, they didn’t hesitate. A group of people, carrying beans and duck eggs, returned to Uncle Zheng’s village.

The people along the way were extremely excited. They were still asking Su Ziling about the sweet potatoes. After hearing her say that they harvest them all year round and can deliver them whenever they have them, everyone became even more excited.

I'm thinking about how many kinds to order this year. The price is a good deal.

Even when they heard Su Ziling talk about interplanting, they were quite shocked, but they were just shocked, but they didn't want to try it.

If this succeeds, then everyone will be happy. If it fails, this will be enough food for a year.

Don't make it so hungry that it won't be worth it. They should do it in a proper manner. At least it's safe. It's better not to take this risk.

They didn't know that when this method was implemented next year, they would be so regretful that their faces turned blue.

When we returned to Uncle Zheng's house, many people gathered at their house. There were still very few sweet potatoes because no one had time to wash them. Most of them were beans.

Twenty was responsible for weighing, and Su Ziling gave the money. After the weighing, Uncle Zheng also found two bullock carts, one of which belonged to their family.

The beans are pulled by ox carts, but the duck eggs have to be carried on someone's back.

With the bullock carts, there was no need for so many people to deliver the goods. Uncle Zheng came forward and selected three from one village. The main purpose was to recognize the way. They would be able to find the way if they went to deliver the goods another day.

Along the way, we talked about harvesting sweet peppers and ice powder fruits. Uncle Zheng wrote them down one by one. He said that he had never seen peppers in the mountains, but he knew about the ice powder fruits.

There are them everywhere on the roadside and in the mountains. If these things are valuable, they can be sold for a lot of money.
