Take Taobao to ancient times

It takes about an hour to walk from Lujia Village to the town, and an hour and a half from Lujia Village to the county. However, Uncle Lu's family has an ox cart, so this time can be slightly shorter.

When the uncle and the second uncle went to the town to sell charcoal before, they would go back and forth twice a day, and the time spent on the road would take at least two to three hours. The time on the road will take at least three to four hours.

In other words, it takes about four hours a day to go to the town, but now they go to the county, it takes at least six hours.

Everyone put the specially screened charcoal on the ox cart, and then drove the ox cart to the county.

When Lu Siyu heard that most of the ancient times were bullock carts, he knew that it was absolutely uncomfortable to sit on. But now that he really sat on it, he realized that what he thought before was still too simple. Very uncomfortable!

Not to mention the stability of the oxen, let’s talk about this road. The dirt road that has just snowed is full of potholes. The wheels go up and down in these potholes. uncomfortable.

After sitting for a while, Lu Siyu felt a little dizzy. He never knew that he still suffered from motion sickness, and this was a "convertible car".

There was nothing he could do, so he had to lie down on the bamboo pole to rest.

When going down, the bullock cart was pulling goods, so the speed was still slow, and Lu Siyu slowed down a little bit, but what he saw was still a vast expanse of whiteness, even though the snow on the road had been wiped away. It was cleaned up, but there was still a lot of snow in the mountains and forests and on the fields.

When Lu Siyu recovered, he could finally breathe in fresh air, the ancient fresh air that is highly respected in modern times.

A few hours later, the group finally arrived in the county.

The snow on the road in the county has been swept away, and the road is relatively flat. Although there are not many people outside, there are still some people.

But the uncle and the second uncle were a little confused after they first entered the county, and they didn't know where to go.

Since it is a county seat, it is naturally much larger than the town. The town is densely populated, and most people gather together, so you can sell it to anyone you want, but this time they are all taking large pieces of charcoal. It's not that simple to find someone purposely for those big families.

Lu Siyu found some memories about the county in the memory of the original owner. Lu's father was a scholar, and he used to bring Lu Siyu here often, sometimes to meet his classmates, and sometimes simply to bring him to see the world.

Following the memory of the original owner, Lu Siyu found a high-end residential area, and pointed a direction for the uncle and the second uncle.

After another ten minutes or so, their ox cart finally arrived near the high-end residential area, but it was not the front door, but the back door.

Although charcoal is something that is used by every household, for those who want to save face, putting this thing first is not very good-looking after all. Father Lu is a scholar and knows the bad habits of many families. I told him not to offend anyone casually.

If Lu's father knew that what he taught had become Lu Siyu's way of doing business, he didn't know how he would feel.

Lu Siyu directly stopped the ox cart to the back door of a certain house and knocked on the door.

After a while, a young man opened the door, and when he saw the bullock cart at the back door, his face was a little unsightly: "What's the matter?"

"Do you need charcoal?"

"No need." The other party didn't even give an extra glance, and slammed the door shut.

At this moment, both the uncle and the second uncle were stunned: "This..."

"Go on," Lu Siyu smiled, and looked at the two of them, "Since we are selling business, we must be prepared to be rejected. These are all normal." Although he was not in sales in his previous life, he also knew that Sales are not easy to do, and a salesman who has not been rejected several times does not say that he is a good salesman.

"This...Of course we know we will be rejected, but he is too fierce." The second uncle said subconsciously, which is somewhat similar to the second uncle's mother.

Lu Siyu shrugged: "It's normal, I was watching the door carefully, maybe I was sleeping, and suddenly the door was called, it's normal to be rude in such a cold day."

Angry or not, since Lu Siyu puts himself on top of selling and doing business, he will not be angry with customers, no matter whether the customer is willing to buy his goods or not.

Many houses in this area are side by side. After passing this one, he knocked on the next one.

There were some good-tempered ones and some bad-tempered ones, but none of them bought the charcoal they brought.

Lu Siyu was not discouraged, and directly knocked on the next door, and said the same sentence: "Do you need charcoal?"

"Charcoal?" The other party was also a kid in his teens, and he was suddenly startled when he heard this, "Wait a minute," he immediately ran inside after speaking, "Steward, steward, someone sells charcoal."

Lu Siyu looked at the running away figure of the other party, and looked at the wide open back door in front of him, shook his head helplessly, but didn't move a step, just stood there quietly.

After a while, the child finally brought someone over. The man was about forty years old and walked very fast. When he reached the door, he glanced at the charcoal: "How much is this charcoal per catty?"

Lu Siyu raised his head and smiled slightly: "Five cents a catty."

"Five cents? It's a bit expensive." The other party said casually.

"We picked this out on purpose. They are all whole, so the price is more expensive." Lu Siyu replied with a smile. He knew that the price was not expensive for the other party, and the kid was so excited just now, the house must be short of charcoal .

"Okay, then give me fifty catties." Sure enough, the other party didn't make much trouble.

"Okay, do you have a container? We'll pack it for you." Lu Siyu said with a smile.

"You wait."

Fifty catties of charcoal are sold at five Wen a catty, which is 250 Wen, and this is only part of the sale.

After the door was closed, both uncles and uncles couldn't help looking at Lu Siyu: "Is our charcoal expensive for five cents a catty?"

"It's not expensive," Lu Siyu shook his head. "We picked out these charcoals, so they look good, and what these big families want is good looks. It's only 250 Wen, which is not expensive for them."

"It's a good thing you're here, otherwise we won't be able to sell it." The second uncle said subconsciously, facing these big families, let alone five Wen, even if it was three Wen, he was too embarrassed to say it out. In the end, he was still thin-skinned .

But once there is a second time and a third time, after gaining experience, they quickly sold all the remaining charcoal.

They bought these charcoal at a price of 29 Wen for 21 catties. Now they are selling at 420 Wen for [-] catties, making a net profit of [-] Wen. Two hundred catties is [-] Wen. This price is similar to what they earn by selling their own charcoal. They don't need to bother and burn it themselves, so these are net profits.

After buying the charcoal in the car, the uncle and the second uncle were still in high spirits, and directly handed over [-] Wen to Lu Siyu.

"You have to take this money. Without you, we definitely wouldn't be able to make so much money. Let it be your hard work." The uncle said immediately.

Lu Siyu took the money from the uncle's hand: "Uncle, the price of five cents a catty can only be said to sell relatively well, and we still have a lot of selected charcoal left, which can be packed by the uncle in sacks. If ten catties sell for 28 Wen, someone should want it."

Although the charcoal is still the same charcoal in general, after all, it has been screened, so the price will be relatively low, and these charcoals are also bought, so we can't let them rot at home. There are still many people who think it's a good deal to save two pennies.

"Okay, okay, just do as you said, and I will tell your uncle when I go back." The uncle nodded quickly, because of the events of the past few days, his trust in Lu Siyu was almost overflowing, to the point where he believed what Lu Siyu said the point.

Lu Siyu was also a little helpless, but it was better to have such relatives than top-notch relatives.

"Xiao Yu, let's go back to pull charcoal, you are in the county, turn around..."

"Let's meet here later, lest we can't find our way when we get there." Lu Siyu hurriedly said, there were no mobile phones in ancient times, and if they got lost, there was nowhere to cry.

"Okay, that's fine, then you estimate the time yourself, come here and wait for us when it's almost here."

"En." Lu Siyu nodded quickly, and he didn't want to run back and forth, and if only the uncle and the uncle were faster, plus him, the speed would have to be slowed down.

Uncle is a real person, originally he just wanted to earn a few copper coins, but now he saw that he could earn more, he immediately got excited, and he couldn't wait to drag the second uncle away together.

Lu Siyu doesn't care either. According to the current situation, the uncle's price from the villagers is right, which will make more and more people sell charcoal to him. Now that everyone has nothing to do in winter and can't make money, some people will be reluctant. The dozens of pennies are sold in the town by themselves, but they don't have a bullock cart like the uncle's house, and it takes a lot of effort to go back and forth.

However, although the price of the charcoal purchased by the uncle and the second uncle is 29 Wen and ten catties, the charcoal residue is also screened out. If the charcoal residue is included, the uncle's family will not suffer a lot.

The poor in the countryside are also the most caring. Everyone is not a bad person, but a small amount of money can definitely be counted clearly. If you earn more money from the villagers, you will be criticized instead.

This is also the reason why no one in the family raised any objections when the uncle proposed ten catty 29 papers. They are all from the villagers. Everyone has no idea of ​​​​earning the money. Most of them are sold at the original price and will not make much money. money.

Lu Siyu had no way to change everyone's thinking, so he could only start from other places, such as finding ways to sell more money, which was also legal income.

After the uncle and the second uncle left, Lu Siyu wanted to wander around the county town and see what the ancient streets were like.
