Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 36: New Year's Bun Shop

"Don't be in a hurry, let's wait and see." Gu Yan said calmly, thinking about selling these wild fruits to the fruit stall owner and the possibility of long-term cooperation.

On the way, he told Gu Qingzhi about the business that had just happened at the Zhao Mansion.

Gu Qingzhi was shocked when she heard this. The prices of wild grapes and persimmons were set yesterday, but "pine nuts are actually sold for 12 cents per pound?"

What surprised her even more was what happened next. Gu Yan said calmly, "A pheasant is 350 coins, a hare is 600 coins, a porcupine is 1 guan, and a fox is 2 guan."

What? A porcupine costs 1 guan? A fox actually sold for 2 guan?

Gu Yan nodded slightly, "This porcupine is still a little small. If it were bigger, it would be worth more than this price."

Gu Qingzhi was still confused, "What about the fox? How can a fox be sold at such a high price?"

"Didn't you say fox meat isn't very tasty?"

Gu Yan paused for a moment. He didn't expect his sister to know so much. "Foxes are valuable mainly because of their fur. The one I caught in the trap had its fur intact."

Intact and alive, this is probably why the price of these wild game is higher than that on the market.

Besides, porcupines and foxes are not common, so it is normal that their prices are higher.

"Hiss. Brother, I think wild animals are much more valuable than fruits. If we can catch a few every day..."

Then why bother picking mountain products?

Gu Qingzhi was eager to try.

Gu Yan ruffled her hair with his hands and said with a smile, "These things are not that easy to catch. In the past, I used to set up those traps, but I could only catch three or two in ten days or half a month. I have only seen foxes and porcupines from a distance in the forest, and have never caught them in traps."

All the animals living in the mountains are smart and clever. He was very surprised to catch so much game this time. He could only say that he was extremely lucky.

As for luck, Gu Qingzhi felt that she was quite lucky.

The rabbit ran straight into the tree stump in front of it. How could this be bad luck?

However, there is no need to argue about this issue now. Facts speak louder than words, and my brother will naturally know the answer in the future.

She also had a question, "Chestnuts are so good. They can be steamed, boiled, fried, and made into cakes. They are delicious and filling. Why are they so cheap?"

Only 2 cents per pound!

You can steam it, boil it, fry it, or make it into pastries to fill your stomach?

Gu Yan had never thought that there were so many ways to eat chestnuts. He chuckled, "This is already very good. The best quality chestnuts only cost 1 cent per pound at the dental clinic."

This is already very fair. Zhang the peddler only charges one cent for five pounds. If he sells it to the pawnshop, he can make a profit of four cents.

The peddler Zhang also buys pine nuts, at 2 wen per pound; pecans are better, at 1 wen per three pounds; he occasionally buys wild grapes, which are well preserved, with plump and large grains, at 1 wen per two pounds; he also buys wild persimmons, but they are unripe ones with green skin, at 1 wen per four pounds.

He didn't even dare to think about the profit if he resold it to a pawnshop!

As expected, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profit.

The brother and sister walked and chatted, and soon they arrived at the fruit shop that Aunt Le from the wonton stall mentioned.

Diagonally opposite the fruit shop was a steamed bun shop. As soon as the two approached the shop, they smelled bursts of meaty aroma.

Gu Qingzhi took a deep breath and pulled Gu Yan forward.

Gu Yan deliberately joked, "Qingqing, are you not full yet?" He knew that the little guy didn't mean that.

Gu Qingzhi was very angry when she heard this. She stamped her feet angrily and said in a serious and delicate voice, "Of course not, brother, we went there to get information. We bought buns just to get information. It was just a by-product."

After saying that, she clung to Gu Yan's arm and shook it, "Okay, brother."

How could it be bad? Gu Yan sighed silently. He was becoming more and more unprincipled towards his sister.

Gu Qingzhi was a little proud, knowing that her brother couldn't resist her coquettishness. She couldn't wait to pull her brother forward, completely forgetting how she looked when she said she couldn't eat wontons just now.

"Shopkeeper, how much are the buns?"

The shopkeeper of the bun shop looked at the delicate and soft young lady in front of him and asked about the price. His tone softened a bit, "Meat buns are 2 cents each, vegetarian buns are 1 cent each, and steamed buns are 2 cents for 3. Which one do you want to buy, young lady?"

Gu Qingzhi hesitated for a while and glanced at her brother standing next to her. Gu Yan smiled and said nothing, meaning that she should make her own decision.

However, he leaned close to Gu Qingzhi's ear and whispered in a low voice, "Qingqing, buy as much as you want. This shop is a century-old shop. The buns are made with plenty of ingredients and they taste delicious."

Gu Qingzhi glanced at him sideways, as if to say, "How do you know?" Gu Yan clenched his fist and coughed a few times, "My classmates in the academy said that when I went back to the academy, I often brought meat buns for them here."

Gu Qingzhi's eyes rolled around. If that was the case, she could buy a few more, mainly because she was craving for the big meat buns.

She counted on her fingers and said, "Boss, then I'll need 6 large meat buns, 3 vegetarian buns, and 3 steamed buns."

"Okay, wait a moment, young lady, I'll wrap it up right away." The shopkeeper responded loudly from behind, and quickly took out the oil paper and wrapped the buns. "

"Hey, hey, shopkeeper, don't be in a hurry. Ask how the fruits in the fruit shop opposite are? Are they fresh?" Gu Qingzhi did not forget the main purpose of her visit.

When the shopkeeper heard that they were asking the people from the fruit shop opposite, he thought they wanted to buy fruit, so he told them everything he knew.

"Oh, speaking of the Zheng's Fruit Shop across the street, no one is more familiar with it than me."

"After all, our two businesses have been on this street for decades, and we have experienced ups and downs for decades."

"The former shopkeeper across the street has now opened a fruit shop in the state, and this one is now managed by his eldest brother."

"Don't worry about the fruits from his shop. They are of good quality, affordable and have a wide variety. People in this county always choose his shop as their first choice when buying fruits."

Chattering and chattering, he enumerated a lot of advantages of the fruit shop across the street.

Gu Qingzhi was confused by what she heard, but she also extracted the key points from them. The fruit shop opposite is also a time-honored brand with a good reputation, good fruits, and the owner is a good person.

By the time the shopkeeper handed the hot oil-paper package to her, she was still a little dazed.

The shopkeeper of the bun shop smiled and said, "Thank you both for your patronage. The total is 17 cents."

Gu Yan took out his money bag with amusement, counted out 17 coins from it and handed it to the shopkeeper, thanking him by the way, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

Then he took the oil-paper bag from her hand, took her hand, hesitated for a while, and said, "Qingqing, do you want to eat some buns?"
