012 Take it when you see it

Mother and sister were unable to set up a stall, so they directly hit Jia Quan's Achilles' heel, "Don't worry, Da Lang, I, Jia Quan, am not a treacherous person."

Shi Zhongkui does have a few distant relatives, but they have basically stopped communicating with each other for a long time.

He nodded to Jia Quan, "You can try selling it first. After it's sold out, I'll still have a hundred or so kilograms left."

Carrying 5 kilograms of preserved fruit, Jia Quan hurried home. When he saw that his mother and sister were not at home, he immediately knew that they were still setting up a stall outside Wenchang Temple.

I put down my schoolbag with a cloth bag, picked up the bag of preserved fruits, and went looking for it.

"Quan'er, you're not at home studying, what are you doing here?"

Seeing that his mother was nagging her again, Jia Quan quickly opened the bag and said, "Mom, first take a look at the quality of these preserved fruits?"

Jia Liu stretched out his head to take a look, and asked in surprise and uneasiness, "Where did you get these fine foods?"

"Hehe", Jia Quan chuckled. He saw that the preserved fruits were clean just now. He could tell at a glance that they must have been taken care of carefully to avoid dust contamination.

This alone is better than ordinary preserved fruits.

That's why Jia Quan dared to make the decision to sell on his behalf after hearing Shi Zhongkui say 120 yuan per catty.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Shi Zhongkui giving him 5 pounds to try first.

Moreover, Jia Quan did not look so dull. He counter-offered from 120 Wen to 100 Wen, which shows that he already knew a lot about business matters because his mother and sister ate takeout at the temple.

"Mom, you also think these preserved fruits are of excellent quality, right? Then if we sell them for 130 cents per catty, do you think they will be a good sell?"

At this time, Mrs. Jia Liu and his sister Jia Xin were not happy and were surprised, so they hurriedly asked questions.

Jia Quan explained after a while, which finally made his mother and sister feel relieved for the time being.

Jia Xin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mom, should I send it to Rong Mansion? Maybe my little brother can go to the clan to study."

Jia Liu shook her head and said, "It's useless, I haven't seen anything good in Rongfu, how can I value these snacks?"

In addition to the disciples, the slaves are all snobbish and cannot help Quan'er run the clan school without giving any benefits.

Moreover, I heard people say that ethnic studies have long been in a state of chaos, and few people can study with peace of mind.

Quan'er went there, not only was he looked down upon by others, but he was also criticized everywhere. If he learns badly, how can I be worthy of your father?"

After saying that, both Jia Quan and Jia Xin turned pale.

Then the mother and son placed the preserved fruits on the stall.

Since even Jia Quan could tell that the preserved fruits were better than those sold by other merchants outside the temple, of course there were people who knew the goods among the passers-by.

After a while, 5 kilograms of preserved fruits were bought by aunts, businessmen and the like who came to Wenchang Temple to seek good luck for their children.

At this time, it was almost getting dark. The mother and son packed up the stall and headed home happily, carrying the fire and household items for making pastries.

When she got home, Jia Xin looked up and said happily, "Mom, I made 293 Wen today. If I do this every day, I can make a consistent amount every month."

Jia Liu shook her head and calculated silently for a long time, even using a small wooden stick to draw some strokes on the ground.

Then he said, "150 Wen was earned from preserved fruit, but it's a pity that according to what Quan'er said, Shi Duazi only had about a hundred or so jin.

Even if we all help him sell it, the profit will only be 3 taels of silver."

Speaking of this, Jia Liu herself laughed.

In the past, let alone 3 taels of silver, I would be happy for a long time even if I earned 50 more coins.

Then I thought about how my family earned 3 taels, and Shi DaZi had to pay the capital to his uncle, so he could only earn one or two taels at most.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Jia Liu put away her smile and warned her children, "Don't tell people outside that you got the preserved fruit from the stone idiot."

"Mom, don't worry."

Jia Quan didn't wait for Jia Xin to speak, and said, "It's sold out this year, maybe there will be more at Shiduzi next year. If others know about it, they will rob us of our money."

"You are the only one who is clever."

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Shi Zhongkui, who was still meditating and practicing Qi, vaguely heard someone knocking on his door.

Open your eyes and listen carefully, and quickly confirm that you heard it correctly.

When he opened the door and took a look, he saw Jia Quan holding the cloth straps and running into his yard in a hurry.

I was about to ask, but then I thought about it and guessed that there must be copper coins in the cloth strap.

Sure enough, when he closed the door and led Jia Quan into the house, 500 copper coins quickly appeared in front of him.

"Shi Dalang, this is 5 coins. You can count it first, and you'll have both money and goods."

Shi Zhongkui pretended to finish counting, then looked up at Jia Quan and asked, "So, preserved fruit is still easy to sell?"

"It's really easy to sell," Jia Quan said based on the reason that the mother and son came up with last night. "It seems that the county examination and the prefectural examination are approaching recently, and there are a lot of scholars going to the Emperor Temple to burn incense.

When the boys and girls are waiting outside the temple, the young master and his wife will give them some spare money to buy some food and gadgets."

Shi Zhongkui didn't care whether what Jia Quan said was true or false.

He nodded in agreement, and was about to go to the kitchen to cover up, when he came out with 5 pounds of preserved fruit.

He saw Jia Quan take out a piece of broken silver from his clothes and said, "Da Lang, here are 2 taels of broken silver, so that I won't have to run here every day to get preserved fruit and delay going to private school."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned when he saw that the preserved fruit was easier to sell than he thought, otherwise Jia Quan's mother would not have been able to spend some scraps of silver to buy 20 kilograms at a time.

However, there is no hurry in advance. After selling out one hundred catties and having ten taels of silver in hand, Jia Quan and his family will be of little use to him.

The preserved fruits can also be stored in the space warehouse.

If you can grow some vegetables and other fruits yourself, you can stay home for a year or two without any problem.

Just study with peace of mind and strive to be admitted as a scholar.

By that time, people like Jia Quan would be completely different to him.

Moreover, you can also take the opportunity to study and study how to upgrade the space farm, and it is best to develop the pasture as well.

After giving Jia Quan 20 kilograms of preserved fruit, Shi Zhongkui closed the door and took all the 500 copper coins into the space.

Unfortunately, what disappointed him was that apart from being stored in the warehouse, there was no prompt sound indicating that copper coins could be used as the currency of the space farm.

Cursing secretly, I grabbed some food, went out, locked the door, and walked to the downtown area in my memory.

I spent a tael of silver to buy pen and paper, talisman paper and decent cinnabar.

Then he walked back to the market, and then put papers, pens and other items into the space where there was no one around.

The ancients were basically self-sufficient, and even many wealthy families ate the food and vegetables they grew outside the city.

But in a city with a huge population like the capital, there are still some trading places like markets.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to find a person or store that sells seeds.

However, some fruits that only mature in September and October in autumn, such as pomegranates, citrus, persimmons, grapes and dates, can be purchased.

After buying fruits and vegetables, I only bought kohlrabi, radishes, cabbage, garlic, and onions.

But what is surprising is that there are carrots, but this thing is actually included in the ranks of melons and fruits.
