"Ah?"
Old Luo, who was selling chestnuts, immediately perked up when he heard Liu Fugui's words.
There were at least 50 to 60 catties of chestnuts left in his basket!
"Seven cents a catty, you really want it all?”
If he wanted to weigh four or five catties, he would have to consider it if it was seven cents a catty.
However, if this big guy could buy all of them, the price would indeed be cheaper.
Liu Fugui was very straightforward. He directly carried the basket to Old Luo's side.
"That's right. Uncle, if you're willing to sell it, you can weigh it.
After weighing it, pour it into my basket. I'll pay you immediately.”
"Yes, of course!"
Old Luo nodded like a woodpecker.
He quickly took the weighing bar and replaced it with a large weight, a smile on his face.
If they didn't sell it now, they probably wouldn't be able to sell it all at the next market.
Now that this big guy wanted to buy it and the price was not low, he quickly sold it and did not have to waste time picking it back.
It was simply too suitable!
In less than ten minutes, Old Luo deftly poured all the chestnuts from his two bamboo baskets into Liu Fugui's basket.
There was a total of 63 catties, which was half a basket.
Liu Fugui took out a stack of bills and handed it over.
"Uncle, this is 4.41 yuan. Count it.”
Old Luo looked at the money he handed over and grinned from ear to ear.
"I'm watching. Big guy, you're honest! It can't be wrong!"
"Big guy, if you still want to buy chestnuts in the future, look for me!
My food is definitely better than others!”
Liu Fugui was about to tell the other party about this when he heard that and asked,
"Uncle, do you have anything similar to this at home?
I still want another 100 jin or so."
Old Luo was even more unsettled now. He had already weighed 150 to 160 pounds. This thing couldn't be eaten as food, right?
"Yes, but you bought so many at once…you can't finish them all, right?”
Liu Fugui smiled faintly.
"Uncle, just tell me if you have it or not.”
Although he knew that the other party might be afraid that he would suffer a loss by taking so much money, Liu Fugui was not an ignorant young man. It was impossible for the other party to make friends with him just because he was kind.
Seeing that Liu Fugui was unwilling to say anything, Old Luo did not continue asking.
"I have it. If you still want it, I'll give you seven cents a catty.”
Since this big guy was so confident, if he didn't sell it, he would buy it from someone else.
Besides, he didn't specialize in selling chestnuts. Other than going to the market, he usually had to take care of the land at home.
If he could sell so much stock in one go, he could spend more time farming at home. Why not?
"Okay, then Uncle, try to send it to me tomorrow morning. My house is the first one after the bridgehead on Half Street.”
Although Old Luo was not from Baqing Village, anyone who came to the market often would know about Half Street.
Hearing Liu Fugui's words, Old Luo immediately nodded.
"Alright, then it's settled."
When the peddlers saw Liu Fugui buying so many chestnuts at once, they were also puzzled.
Could it be that he was going to Baqing Street to sell chestnuts?
All the stall owners muttered in their hearts.
Just as they thought.
Liu Fugui did intend to sell chestnuts, but he did not plan to come here again.
Most of the people who came and went in this village were farmers. He really didn't care about the three walnuts and two dates in his pocket.
Coincidentally, the day after tomorrow, there was a market in Yangping Town. The Host had been there not long ago.
Usually, families with good conditions in the surrounding villages would go to this kind of market. The scene was quite lively.
Moreover, there was a middle school and a primary school in that town.
With such a large flow of people, it was most suitable to sell snacks like fried chestnuts.
Especially since the chestnuts were sweet and delicious even when eaten raw. If they were stir-fried, they would definitely be even softer and sweeter.
Therefore, Liu Fugui planned to buy more than 100 catties of chestnuts first and go to town to test the waters.
If it was good, he could consider selling it there for a while.
Liu Fugui carried half a basket of chestnuts on his back and walked through the streets.
As he walked down the stone stairs, he heard the sound of children playing.
He carefully stepped onto the swaying wooden bridge and looked in the direction of the laughter.
The several meters wide river was blocked by neatly stacked round stones into a pond.
Not far below the wooden bridge, seven or eight-year-old boys were playing in the water with their buttocks naked. They were very uncomfortable.
Little girls of about the same age were wearing small vests and short-sleeved shirts. They were shaking their feet in the shallow water and splashing the waves mischievously. There were bursts of bell-like laughter.
"Yang Yang Er!
It's already cold, yet you still go to the river to play. Hurry up and come home for dinner!
Don't wait for me to come over with a note to treat you to fried meat with bamboo shoots!”
"E Chenchen, you idiot! Hurry up and come back for dinner!"
On the stone stairs, the roars of lions came one after another.
The expressions of the few little fellows who were playing happily in the river pond immediately changed when they heard this.
She picked up the clothes by the river and ran home naked.
The smoke and fire in the world caressed the hearts of mortals.
Liu Fugui's lips curled into a smile, and his footsteps became lighter as he headed home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a small figure ran out of the house with short legs.
When she saw that it was her father, a bright smile immediately bloomed on her small face.
"Papa!"
The little boy called out in a childish voice. Seeing that Liu Fugui was still smiling, he confirmed that he was still the gentle version of his father. Only then did he spread his legs and run over to him.
Liu Fugui put down his basket and squatted down. The little fellow instantly pounced into his arms.
He picked the little girl up easily with one hand and gently reached out to push the fringe on her forehead to her ear.
"Your hair is always covering your eyes. Daddy will tie it up for you later.”
"Yes, yes…"
Xiao Yezi nodded vigorously like a chick pecking at rice.
Then, she placed her small hand on Liu Fugui's shoulder and pointed into the room.
"Daddi, Great-Grandpa, heat up the food and eat!”
Liu Fugui carried his daughter in one hand and carried the basket on his back with the other. He strode into the house.
"No wonder I could smell the fragrance from afar. It turns out that Xiao Yezi and great-grandfather are cooking.”
……
After dinner.
At the entrance of the west room.
Liu Hongshan looked at the half-basket of chestnuts that Liu Fugui had brought back and felt uneasy.
"You…you want to go to town to sell chestnuts?”
"Yes, we'll go to the town to sell it the day after tomorrow.
Grandpa, go to Third Uncle's house tomorrow and ask if his carriage will be working the day after tomorrow.
If you don't have it, rent it to me for two dollars a day.”
As Liu Fugui spoke, he picked up the basket on his back. Dozens of pounds of chestnuts were easily lifted up.
"Where can I get two? 1.50 a day is more or less enough."
The more Liu Hongshan muttered, the more he felt that Liu Fugui's chestnut business was unreliable.
"This…this chestnut isn't that rare…
If you buy it for seven cents per catty, it would only be ten cents per catty at most in town.
He would probably only sell a few dozen catties in a day. Wouldn't this business lose money?”
Liu Hongshan was afraid that his eldest grandson would become stupid again after seeing his grandson's improvement.
"Selling it for 10 cents per catty definitely won't make any money. At least 35 cents per catty.”
As Liu Fugui spoke, he poured the chestnuts in his basket into a corner of the west room.
The spending power in town was definitely higher than in the village. As long as he fried the chestnuts well enough, it was completely reasonable to sell them for 35 cents per catty.
"This…"
Liu Hongshan wanted to say something, but Liu Fugui had already put the basket back on his back.
"I know what I'm doing. Don't worry, Grandpa!
I won't do anything that doesn't earn money."
Seeing that his eldest grandson was so confident, Liu Hongshan didn't want to attack him anymore.
However, seeing that he was carrying a basket on his back and looking at the dark sky outside, she still asked worriedly,
"What are you doing now?"
"Go to the river and pick up some stones."
Liu Fugui carried the basket on his back and walked to the corner. He picked up the dustpan and hoe and grinned.
If he wanted to sell stir-fried chestnuts, he would definitely have to prepare some small stones.
When the chestnuts were fried, small stones were added to make the chestnuts heat up faster and transfer heat faster.
To put it simply, the small stones added to the sugar-fried chestnuts would make the chestnuts sweeter, more flavored, and more fragrant!
This was also the experience Liu Fugui had gained from selling fried chestnuts for a few months when he was young in his previous life.
Xiao Yezi, who had three braids, stood up quickly when she heard Liu Fugui.
"Papa! Me! Help!"
Liu Fugui did not reject the little girl who stood up actively. He threw the dustpan into the basket on his back and carried the hoe on his shoulder. He stretched out a big hand to her.
"Okay, Daddy will hold it."
"Yes!"
