Stingy Husband Farming

The next day, early in the morning, the young couple went out to the county seat in a bullock cart.

Song Bai drives, Shen Mu guides the way.

Shen Mu looked at Song Bai's skillful way of setting up and driving the car, and his heart gradually became a little complicated: "Brother Bai, why do you know everything?"

The last time Shen Mu was so emotional was when Song Bai was in bed.At that time, Shen Mu thought that Song Bai knew how to make a living, but now he felt that Song Bai knew too much, right?

"I don't know everything." Song Bai scratched his head, he knew too little. If he knew everything he wanted, he could do everything by himself, so he didn't need to hire someone, and he could save more money.

Now he's just scratching the surface.well.

"You know how to cook a kang, drive a car, and you know valuable red mushrooms." Shen Mu counted them on his fingers. You are already very good at these things, okay? If anyone in the village knows one of them, it will be enough for a lifetime up.

Those who help people drive cars can also make a lot of money in a year.

Song Bai looked at him amusedly: "Isn't the red mushroom still unidentified? You suspected yesterday that it might be a poisonous mushroom."

Shen Mu felt a little embarrassed.He said that yesterday, but he just said it out of his mouth because he wanted to save money.In fact, when Song Bai said that red mushrooms were valuable when he was on the mountain, he already believed them half to eighty percent.

What Song Bai said was very convincing.It is that kind of temperament that makes people feel particularly reliable.

Shen Mu thought about it, and lost his mind again.Song Bai concentrated on driving the car, thinking that he was still sleepy after getting up early, so he asked him to put on the clothes he had prepared, and then concentrated on driving the car.

If you drive an ox cart by yourself, you can find the most convenient speed and route.In less than an hour, the two arrived at the county seat.

The two first walked around the main street of the county seat.Shen Mu is familiar with the town, but not many people come to the county seat, at most they don't get lost.The shops on the street were unfamiliar, so the two of them walked together to see which shops received dry goods in their hearts.

Turning all the way around, Song Bai also knew it in his heart.There are four or five stores in the county town that sell dry goods, two of which are large stores that specialize in dry goods, and the others are grocery stores that collect by the way, mainly shiitake mushrooms and mushrooms that are common in farmers' homes.Naturally, they set their sights on the two stores that specialize in dry goods.

Song Bai chose the one with the more expensive appearance from the two big shops, tied the ox cart to the side of the road, carried a basket and dragged Shen Mu to the shop.

They go out early.It was still early at the moment, the dry goods store had just opened, and there was no one there.There was only a clerk sitting idle, and a shopkeeper who sat behind the counter and settled accounts, crackling with his abacus.

When the two entered the store, they didn't say they wanted to sell something first, but turned around and looked at the original goods in the store.

Seeing that they were dressed in plain clothes, the guy didn't think they seemed willing to buy things in the store, so he didn't bother to entertain them.After greeting them meaningfully, they let them look around in the store by themselves.

It is indeed one of the two largest dry goods stores in the county, and the goods are still very complete.Even inside, Song Bai saw morel mushrooms and pointed them out to Shen Mu.

The morels in this store are dried and processed, and sold by tael, which costs fifteen cents.

Shen Mu tugged Song Bai's sleeves a little excitedly, his eyes sparkled.

If you look carefully, you can find a lot of morels in the mountains.This time, it was Song Bai who thought that the red mushrooms were more valuable, so he mainly focused on picking red mushrooms.If you go back and gather the morels on the mountain, you can sell them for a lot of money!

Song Bai put the basket on the counter, lifted the cloth covering it to reveal the red mushrooms inside, and said to the waiter, "I have some red mushrooms here, do you know if your store accepts them?"

Russula? The buddy was stunned for a moment, and then he stretched his head to take a look into the basket, and his eyes lit up immediately.These red mushrooms are big, fresh, and of good color, and they can sell them for a good price if they collect them from the shop!

This red mushroom is a rare item. Every year before the fifteenth day of the eighth lunar month, each production area of ​​the red mushroom pays tribute to the imperial court!They are not a province with a large output of red mushrooms, so they don't need to pay tribute, but there are also wealthy families who like to follow suit and want to buy some on August [-]th.

Russula cannot be cultivated, so it can only be found in the mountains, and the price is naturally not low.

Of course, their store also has red mushrooms, but this kind of precious thing is not displayed outside for people to look at casually, it is only when the distinguished guests come that they are invited to take it out in the inner room.

The buddy couldn't help re-examining Song Bai and Shen Mu.

Well, he was wearing the cheapest coarse clothes, and he didn't have any valuable accessories on his body. He should be an ordinary farmer, not a professional mushroom picker.To be able to pick these red mushrooms is probably just luck.

As soon as the guy rolled his eyes, he put away the happy expression on his face, and pretended to say: "These mushrooms are still fresh. We usually collect fresh mushrooms in our store for ten yuan a catty. You guys are in good condition and big. Let’s count it at fifteen cents per catty.”

As he said that, the man stretched out his hand, trying to carry the basket to estimate its weight.It seems that a basket can weigh two catties slowly, but it still has to be weighed to calculate the money.

Unexpectedly, when he reached out, he found nothing.

The clerk took a closer look and saw that Song Bai had already returned the basket to his hands. He glanced at the clerk with a half-smile, and said, "Your store is so dishonest, there is no need to talk about it."

The guy was taken aback: "What?"

Song Bai didn't waste any more time, and pulled Shen Mu to turn around and leave.Fortunately, there is a second shop in the county that accepts dry goods.

"Well, two, stay and stay!" The shopkeeper who had been in the back of the counter for a long time was finally unable to sit still, and he smashed a business with his eyes. .

The man flinched and stepped back.

The shopkeeper asked Song Bai to stop, and Song Bai didn't even pause, and went straight to the door.Although Shen Mu couldn't help turning his head back frequently, he was dragged forward by Song Bai who seemed to be deaf, and he kept walking, and he was about to walk out of the shop after a few steps.

Treasurer:  …

He had no choice but to come out from behind the counter, catch up with them in a few steps, and stop them at the door of the store.He smiled and said: "The new guy is not sensible, you two don't have the same knowledge as him."

Song Bai then stopped and glanced at the shopkeeper.The main reason was that the door was blocked by his fat body, and he couldn't even walk.

I thought to myself, if that guy is ignorant, you are ignorant?Just now behind the counter, I was reluctant to raise my eyelids, pretending I didn't see it?

The shopkeeper felt a little guilty after seeing this.Inexplicably, there is a feeling that the owner is visiting the store.He couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Song Bai again.

Although this man is dressed in coarse linen, he just looked at him, except for his handsome appearance, there is nothing special about him.But at this moment when they approached and started talking, it gave people a feeling of calmness and prestige.

The shopkeeper smiled awkwardly at Song Bai and the others.

Song Bai didn't want to waste his precious time: "He has no knowledge, so you should show your knowledge. Otherwise, there is nothing to say."

The shopkeeper couldn't help being taken aback.If in the past, if any farmer talked to him like this, he would have been angry long ago, whether he wanted to sell it or not.However, when Song Bai said it, he felt a little guilty.It's also because the red mushrooms are really valuable, and just now the buddy quoted an unrealistic price.Then I was embarrassed to get angry.Bite the bullet and said: "Of course I will give you a satisfactory price. These red mushrooms are worth a lot, how can they be compared with ordinary mushrooms? The buddy is new here, I am afraid that I don't know red mushrooms, so I just quoted the price... excuse me."

Song Bai frowned slightly, and looked at the shopkeeper with scrutiny.

He was already tall, so he looked at the short and fat shopkeeper from top to bottom. His sharp gaze made the shopkeeper feel uncomfortable, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his back.

On the other side, Shen Mu also raised his head to observe Song Bai.

He found... He found that Song Bai had changed since he entered this store.

In other words, since he started talking about business, his whole aura has changed, unlike the brother Bai he usually sees.

It looks like a big boss, a noble son... No wonder the shopkeeper is like this.

Finally, Song Bai nodded.The shopkeeper seemed to be pardoned: "Please, please, there is an inner room for honored guests." Then he turned around and reprimanded Xiao Er, telling him to look around the store carefully, and then he led Song Bai and Shen Mu to the back hall. up.
