Farmer's ancient daily life

As a nomadic Hu people, there are only a handful of times when they ate melons and fruits in their memory.

Because of this, even if this melon is a bit more expensive, it is not impossible to buy some and try it.

After packing up their things, a few tall and strong barbarians walked towards another shop on the street.

The things of the Han people are very new to them. They all have children at home, so naturally they should think about them more and bring some delicious and fun things back.

The opening of the mutual market not only brought convenience to the Hu people, but also gave the people of Dalin an additional choice to support their families.

Fang Mingfeng thought that this street might soon become lively.

Xizhou honey is expensive, only a few people came to ask and left, Fang Mingfeng was not annoyed, and sat in the shade, chatting with A Duqin, while eating melons and dried fruits.

Occasionally, a gust of cool wind would blow over, messing up the hair on the sideburns. Fang Mingfeng had a good rest but couldn't take it easy, so he got up and fed the remaining melon rind to the little donkey.

A little half of the Xizhou honey he brought had already grown, and he didn't plan to take the remaining half back. He just waited for a while, and if no one came, he would think of a way to sell the Xizhou honey to the shop.

Most of the people who can open a shop in the town market these days are not short of money, and they should be happy to buy a melon to try.

Fang Mingfeng thought for a while, then stood up abruptly, and said to A Duqin: "Pack up your things, let's go and sell the remaining melons, and then go home after eating something."

Seeing that he had set the rules, A Duqin nodded, "Let's go."

.........

Due to the long distance from home, Fang Mingfeng and A Duqin packed their things early and prepared to close the stall.

Zhang Erlang was still a little surprised: "Why did you go back now? It's still early!"

Fang Mingfeng replied: "I choose on the road, if I don't hurry back now, I'm afraid it will be dark when I get home."

Many vendors in the surrounding area come from various villages, some are farther away, some are just like Zhang Erlang, and they are only a few steps away, or they are directly residents of the town, so there is no rush to close the stalls.

But Zhang Erlang understood at this moment, he said: "Since that's the case, let's go back quickly, it doesn't matter if you don't clean up the idle things here."

After a pause, Zhang Erlang said with some embarrassment: "Boss Fang, I want to buy melons, but the money on hand is really hard to turn around, so I have the cheek to ask if I can sell them for a small piece?"

"Don't worry, the price is still ten cents a catty." Zhang Erlang continued: "It's a bit expensive for a whole, and the family's conditions are not good... It's okay if you don't sell it, I just ask."

Fang Mingfeng was a little surprised: "What's the matter, of course."

Even if he doesn't buy half of the melon, when he and A Duqin go to the store to sell Xizhou honey later, they will definitely cut up a melon and let the bosses taste it.

They are not being taken advantage of, how could he buy it when he said he would sell it to others.Naturally, we have to try it out.

"Thank you, thank you."

Zhang Erlang was so happy that he bought this piece of melon and brought it home for Fu Lang to eat!When he came to deliver water today, he noticed that Fu Lang's eyes were looking at the Xizhou honey, and he might be very happy to bring this back.

"Hehe" smiled, Zhang Erlang stretched out his hand to take half of the melon that Fang Mingfeng handed over: "Thank you."

"Should be."

Fang Mingfeng took the money, greeted Zhang Erlang, and left the booth.

Leading the little donkey, Fang Mingfeng and A Duqin stopped in front of a restaurant—even though it was a border town, there were still restaurants.

Not only that, but this restaurant is tall and bright, and it is a rare two-story restaurant.It looks like they can't afford it.

Fang Mingfeng went in with A Duqin, and went straight to Xiaoer and asked, "Little brother, what do you eat here?"

Xiaoer flicked the white towel with a proud expression: "I have everything!"

"..."

Fang Mingfeng was speechless for a moment, and he met A Duqin's eyes, neither of them knew how to continue talking.

Xiaoer reacted, a little annoyed, and then opened his mouth to report the name of a dish: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Fang Mingfeng said a few words casually, then sat at the table beside him, and started talking to the idle Xiaoer: "Damn! Don't mention it, I came to the town today to sell melons, and I grow these melons myself. Li carefully took care of it, and now it is easy to mature, so I plan to take it to the town market, and sell it for some money."

Seeing that the shopkeeper ignored him, Xiaoer felt relieved and asked while wiping the tablecloth on the table and chairs, "And then?"

"Then I didn't sell a few, so I planned to go back after eating something." Pretending to be unintentional, Fang Mingfeng muttered, "Oh, this melon is so delicious, why can't it be sold!"

Taking out half of a melon from the bamboo basket, Fang Mingfeng cut it open, handed a piece to Aduqin, and placed the rest on the table.He continued to say to Xiaoer: "It won't be sold anyway, why don't you give it to Xiaoer brother, otherwise it's a pity."

That's a good thing!

Xiaoer was about to take it, feeling uneasy, so he subconsciously glanced at the shopkeeper, just happened to meet the cool gaze of the shopkeeper, and for a moment he didn't dare to respond, so he whispered: "No, no, no..."

Fang Mingfeng took a small piece and stuffed it in the small second hand, and said in a low voice, "Just don't let the shopkeeper see it."

Xiaoer couldn't refuse, so he stuffed the melon in his mouth while the shopkeeper turned his head to pick up something, and ate it up in two mouthfuls.

I thought there was not much delicious food, so I ate it.I didn't expect this melon to be so sweet!Xiao Er smashed his mouth, recalled the fruity sweetness that quickly disappeared in his mouth, and felt a little unsatisfied.

After a while, Xiaoer said: "This melon is so delicious, why can't it be sold!"

A Duqin saw that Fang Mingfeng started to put on a show again, afraid that he would accidentally laugh out loud, so he lowered his head and busily ate, not going to watch Fang Mingfeng's upcoming performance.

Here Fang Mingfeng continued to get close to Xiaoer: "Right! This melon is so delicious, ten cents a catty is not too much at all! Brother Xiaoer must think so too!"

Xiao Er: "..." Actually, it's still a bit expensive.

Recalling what he had just tasted, Xiao Er said, "It's a bit more expensive, but it's still worth it."

He felt a dull pain in his heart, what he ate just now was too much of a waste of good stuff, what's the taste of swallowing jujubes whole!

Now I regret it, I regret it very much.Knowing that this melon is so expensive, he put it away and tasted it slowly.

I was feeling annoyed when I heard the shopkeeper's voice: "Really? What is it worth?"

Xiao Er was shocked: "Say, what I'm talking about is the melons sold by this guest officer. Although they are a bit expensive, I think they are worth so much money..."

Although he can't afford it, the price can be said to be quite reasonable.The little brother didn't open his mouth as much as a lion. Look, he was generous enough to let him eat a piece just now.

That small piece of melon is worth at least three copper coins!Xiao Er's heart began to ache again, what can I do with these three copper coins, but I was eaten into my stomach!

What Xiaoer was thinking at this time, the shopkeeper didn't care.

Originally, he wanted to see if the place Xiao Er had cleaned up for a long time was finished, but now he was attracted by the melons on the table.

"Guest officer, is this...?"

Fang Mingfeng said: "The melons grown at home are sweet and delicious, how many pieces are left here, try the shopkeeper's?"

The shopkeeper wanted to refuse in his heart, but Fang Mingfeng handed it to him, so he couldn't hand it back, so the shopkeeper had no choice but to accept it.

"Taste it quickly, it won't taste good if left for a long time."

"..." The shopkeeper couldn't refuse the customer's enthusiasm, so he took a sip.

After a while, Fang Mingfeng looked at the gnawed clean melon skin, and felt a little shocked: This shopkeeper is not young, and he doesn't look very delicious, why...

Gnaw the melon rind so clean.Only the outermost layer of grain remains on the skin of Xizhou honey.

Not showing it on the face, Fang Mingfeng put on a smile: "The one who waits carefully must be different from the others."

In fact, the high price of this Xizhou honey is not only because of its freshness and sweetness, but also because the food baskets of common people in the border areas are not enough!

The less you can eat, the more you like fresh food.In this way, it is common sense for the price to be higher.

After the shopkeeper figured it out, he thought about it for a moment, and said directly: "I want to buy some melons, how much?"

Fang Mingfeng was happy on the face, and the business was more than half successful: "Ten coins a catty, if I buy too much, I will give you a cheaper price, how about it?"

"Very good."

At this time, Xiaoer muttered in a low voice: "I bought a lot, so it will be easier to sell it in our store!"

The shopkeeper is an old man in his 50s and [-]s, but his ears are very sharp, so he can hear Xiao Er's words clearly.

At the moment, he had thoughts in his heart.

"I buy more, how much cheaper can the little boss give?"

Fang Mingfeng thought for a while, and said, "How about a penny of profit?"

This penny is small to say, but a melon of four or five catties is a profit of four or five pennies.If you buy too much, you have to save at least one or two hundred cash.

After doing the math, the shopkeeper is quite satisfied with this answer.Yingyue Restaurant is the largest restaurant in this town. Now that the mutual market has been opened, rich barbarians who come to Karita Town naturally want to come to their restaurant.

Selling this melon to them at that time would also be a feasible method.

After making up his mind, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Little boss, how many melons do you have now?"

Fang Mingfeng calculated in his mind, and told him the number of melons on the shuttle bus pulled by the little donkey, and then said: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, whether you plan to sell Xizhou honey in a restaurant, or keep it for yourself and give it away, it doesn't matter. It will make the shopkeeper lose face."

.........

The sun was gradually setting, and seeing that it was getting late, Fang Mingfeng took the money.Leaving behind a cart full of Xizhou honey, he and A Duqin boarded a donkey cart and went home.

On the way back, Aduqin sat in the car and counted the money. When he had counted a hundred cash, he put it on a straw rope and tied it into a wooden box.

"By the way," Aduqin still didn't understand one more thing: "Today, I can talk directly to the shopkeeper about business, so why do I have to talk to Xiaoer first? I'm a little unclear."

Fang Mingfeng explained: "Let's speak up first, because we need others, so we will definitely gain the upper hand. But if the shopkeeper speaks first, he will be embarrassed to lower the price too low. In this way, we can also earn more. Why not? Not for."

The shopkeeper, Old Guijing, has been in business for so many years, and he will definitely find that Xizhou honey is good, so as long as he sees Xizhou honey, he will definitely buy some.

That being the case, chatting with Xiao Er first is just a corner to tell the shopkeeper, of course, the most important thing is to make money yourself!
