Traveling through mountains and rivers

Early the next morning, Ning Ze went to the town with snail meat on his back, and the men of the Tao family followed Tao Qing to the mountain to see the peach trees. They took a machete and carried a basket on their backs. Those who went to the mountains to chop firewood are too busy now, and there is no firewood at home, so it is normal to go to the mountains to chop firewood.

The road has been walked before, plus the time when he dug Polygonum multiflorum before, this is the fourth time Tao Qing has walked this road, and he is already familiar with the road.

Tao Qing walked in the front and led the way, and the rest of the Tao family followed behind, taking note of the way when they left, so that they would know how to get there next time they came back.

The peach grove is deep in the mountains, and it takes a long time to go in. The weather is hot, and a group of people are already sweating before they reach the place.

But they have long been used to it, just walking, but it can't be compared with doing farm work, so no one cares about walking straight forward.

When they really saw the peach grove, all their previous doubts and guesses disappeared, and what they saw was the truth.

Even Tao Deshu was very excited. He is an elder. Even though he has been a farmer with so many people, he has encountered more things, heard things, and traveled more than the juniors, but the scene in front of him still makes him It was so shocking that he didn't know that there was such a big peach grove in this place where he had lived so much, but no one in the village knew about it.

The Tao family brothers entered the peach grove, looking at the bright red peaches hanging on the peach trees, they didn't know which one to pick.

Not to mention that there are still places, they are everywhere, except for a small part that is rotten, all the others are good, and you can eat the same ones if you pick them up.

Tao Qing said aloud at this time, "The peaches that we Yaoze carried back last time were picked on the ground, which is also good, we were not willing to pick the peaches from the trees."

The Tao family looked at the peaches on the ground, they were all good, not much different from the ones on the trees, and they would also be reluctant to replace them.

Tao Deshu said, "Pick up the ones on the ground first, carry them back after picking them up, and then pick up the ones on the tree. If they haven't fallen off the tree, it means they can be kept for a few days, but the ones on the ground can't wait. They are too delicate to say Delicate, it will rot quickly if it gets soiled."

The Tao family brothers had no objection, put down the basket and began to walk forward carefully, picking up peaches while walking.

There are really too many peaches on the ground, the few of them have almost filled the baskets and haven't finished picking them up, and there is still half of them.

Tao Deshu picked up the basket and said, "Let's go back first, come back later, pick up the ones on the ground, and then wait for Yaoze to come back and ask, if we can, we'll pick the ones from the tree."

"Okay," the Tao family brothers responded, stood up with their backs on their backs, and walked home with Tao Deshu.

When I went back, everyone was going to work, and there was a big sun, but the children didn't meet any of them, so they carried Taozi back home smoothly.

Back at Tao's house, the husbands in the family looked at the baskets full of peaches, and all their half-believing thoughts disappeared, and this time they really believed.

After all, seeing is believing, and there are quite a lot of peaches brought back.

Amo of the Tao family came over and asked Tao Deshu, "Master, how many peaches are there on this mountain, do you want us to go up the mountain together?"

Tao Deshu shook his head, "There are still a lot of peaches on the mountain. This is only half of the ground that was picked up. There is no movement on the tree. It may take several times to go back and forth. There must be no one at home. If they all go out, the villagers will I'm afraid you will have doubts, so you can smash your home."

The Tao family's aunt did not refute Tao Deshu's words, but nodded, "Sure, let's take care of family affairs."

Tao Deshu went on to say, "Go and call the children. I want to tell them something. You can't just say something about Tao Zi. Otherwise, people in the village will find out, and our family may be in trouble."

When the Tao family's grandma heard this, she immediately understood, turned around and left, "I'll call right away."

The Tao family's aunt came out, and a group of children who were playing around in the yard were called over immediately, and they stood obediently in front of Tao Deshu with their hands behind their backs.

The rest of the Tao family also followed. Tao Deshu said, "You all know that you just came back with a lot of peaches. You can eat the peaches, but you can't tell the outsiders, you know? Muzilinzi is sensible. I don't need to say more, but adults have to teach a few little ones, this is related to the future life of our Tao family in the village, so nothing can go wrong."

Although children are young, they will listen to what adults say. Just tell them patiently and explain the reason to them.

What Tao Deshu said was a bit unclear to them, but they also remembered that you can't tell outsiders about the peaches at home, as long as you don't tell them, you will be obedient.

No one wants to be a disobedient child, so naturally these words will not go out and say casually.

After Tao Deshu finished speaking, Tao An answered first, "Father, don't worry, I will teach them well, they are all sensible children, don't be afraid."

After Tao An finished speaking, Tao Wang and Tao Ping followed suit.

Tao Qing also nodded, the children in his family were all obedient, so he wasn't worried.

After Tao Deshu finished his confession, he followed his sons to the mountains with their backs on their backs. While no one was home now, he had to pick up all the peaches on the ground. Otherwise, it would be noon in a while, and they would inevitably meet people when they came back. .

Everyone in the Tao family is busy, and Ning Ze is not idle either.

After arriving in the town, Mo Qi did not directly negotiate the price with Ning Ze. Instead, he gave Ning Ze a few addresses and asked him to visit the people above. If he didn't bring him, he didn't even know who the other person was, so how could he visit him?

Ning Ze stared straight at Mo Qi, hoping he could give an explanation, otherwise he wouldn't plan to go, just being so confused, he might not be able to talk about anything, let alone do something He didn't know either.

Perhaps it was because Ning Ze's eyes were too hot, Mo Qi had to compromise, he pointed to the address on the paper and said, "I went to say hello to these people yesterday, and you came to tell me that I asked you to find them As for whether this business can be done, it depends on whether you can tell. These people are the most famous merchants in the town. Some of them also have business in the county. With so many people, you As long as you take one of them, you don't have to worry about the thousands of catties of peaches, but you are a businessman after all, so you have to show enough sincerity."

After Mo Qi explained this, Ning Ze immediately understood. He held the paper and cupped his hand to Mo Qi, "Thank you, Doctor Mo, I will go to visit right away."

Mo Qi waved his hand, "Okay, let's go."

When Ning Ze came here today, he didn’t bring anything, except for money, he only brought some loose silver, and it’s completely forgot to buy gifts and so on. The money is not enough, and people may not be able to appreciate it. Ning Ze thinks that he still has money. The reality of coming empty-handed, anyway, Mo Qi had already said hello, so he just went to visit people directly.

As for sincerity, you can definitely say when discussing business that the peaches are out of date now, and they will definitely earn more than them if they send the peaches to other places to sell.

The first family Ning Ze came to was surnamed Wu, and the word Wu Zhai was written on the forehead. As an 'illiterate' person, the first thing Ning Ze did after knocking on the door was to ask if this was Wu Zhai. The first thing was to ask them if Master Wu was in the house, and after getting an affirmative answer, Ning Ze said that he was introduced by Mo Qi.

Maybe it was explained by someone before, that Ning Ze was successfully ushered into the house and waited at the reception area.

As soon as Ning Ze sat down, the master came before he had time to drink the tea served by the servants. Ning Ze had to stand up to greet him, but he was really surprised when he saw this Master Wu, because this Master Wu was very Young, really young, looks about seventeen or eighteen.

Ning Ze couldn't hide the doubts in his heart, and asked carelessly, "Master Wu, I'm sorry for offending me, but I have one fact that I can't figure out, and I hope Master Wu can clarify."

As a result, before Ning Ze could ask the question, the person opposite waved his hand, "Sit down, you don't have to ask, I know what you want to ask, Mr. Wu is my father, I am his son, from the Wu family Master."

Having said that, it's over, sixteen or seventeen years old, no matter how you look at it, you don't look like a master.

Young Master Wu said, "My father has something to do, let me talk to you. Doctor Mo came to visit your house yesterday and said that you want to find someone who can harvest peaches?"

Ning Ze nodded, "Yes, Young Master Wu, the peaches at home are planted in the mountains, so they ripen later, and the family was busy harvesting the crops earlier, so they didn't bother to pick the peaches, so there was a delay, because There are too many peaches, and we country people have no connections. The peaches can’t be sold, and they will only rot. I just met Dr. Mo when I came to see the doctor, so I asked Dr. Mo for help. Are you interested in this peach?"

Seeing Ning Ze's sincere expression, Wu Yan almost blurted out his agreement, but thinking that his father is still in charge of the family, and the business is not done casually, so he silently admits it back.

Originally, his father should have come to negotiate this business, but after overhearing his father talking with Dr. Mo, he rushed out to take the business by himself, not for any other reason, just because he likes to eat peaches.

However, the family members are in charge of him and don't let him eat too much. He just thought that if this business was replaced by him, he would be able to eat to his full. The idea is simply not to be too simple.

After restraining his true thoughts deep in his heart, Wu Yan seriously questioned Ning Ze.

"What's your surname, little brother? Did you bring some peaches from your family today? By the way, I don't know how much the peaches from my little brother's family want to sell for?"

Ning Ze introduced himself, and then said, "I didn't bring the peaches here in a hurry, but don't worry, fifth young master, my peaches are definitely big and sweet. I guarantee that people will be full of praise after eating them. Don't worry." The doctor has eaten it, if Young Master Wu doesn't believe it, you can ask Doctor Mo, he will definitely know."

When Wu Yan heard that he moved Mo Qi out, she believed it very simply. Wu Yan said, "That's fine, I will believe you, but you just tell me how to sell your peaches?"

How to sell?This Ning Ze really didn't know, so he said, "I don't know if Fifth Young Master knows how those peaches on the street were sold earlier?"

This, Wu Yan really didn't know, so he made up the price randomly, "Fifteen Wen a catty."

Ning Ze thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, let's sell it for twelve Wen. We don't care how much Young Master Wu's family sells, as long as Young Master Wu's family can collect all my peaches."

Wu Yan pondered the price in his heart and thought it would work, so he slapped the table readily, "OK, then it's settled, you just send the peaches over tomorrow."

Ning Ze was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Young Master Wu to agree so readily, and it turned out that it was too cheap from time to time?

However, Ning Ze's idea was soon confirmed that it was too cheap.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Stinky boy, what do you do? Do you do business like this?"

Ning Ze looked towards the door, and saw a middle-aged man walking in, who looked somewhat similar to the Young Master Wu in front of him. Ning Ze guessed that this should be Master Wu.

Before Ning Ze had time to say hello, Master Wu bowed to him and said, "Young master, you are naughty, and you don't know anything about business. You should pretend you haven't heard what you just said. I'll discuss it with you. .”

Ning Ze: "..." Sure enough, he was afraid of something.

At the same time, Fifth Young Master Wu Yan was dissatisfied, and yelled at his father loudly, "Father, your words don't count, did you promise me to talk about this business?"

Master Wu stared at him, "What are you talking about, what else do you want besides eating?"

Wu Yan: "..." He couldn't find any words to refute.

Ning Ze: "..." He didn't hear anything.
