Chang’an Peasant Girl

   Chapter 192 Saying it makes me grow eyes

Wang Youbao said: "Jiu Layer Pavilion is the largest restaurant in Hecheng County. Their owner saw that Shuangji Restaurant was selling well in the county selling dishes seasoned with fermented bean curd, so they asked who made the fermented bean curd. When it came to me, I happened to have fermented bean curd on hand, so I sold it to them."

   It seems that the Shuangji restaurant is the restaurant opened by the three owners of the shopkeeper Xing.

  Quing knew it in his heart, and joked: "You sold it to them at a high price, right?"

   Wang Youbao laughed shyly, "It's a lot higher than the price you sold me."

   "Speaking it out makes me grow eyes."

  Wang Youbao stretched out a finger, "One hundred wen."

   "...a pound?"

   Wang Youbao nodded.

Quiet:"…"

   Seeing Jing Jing not talking, Wang Youbao was a little nervous and asked in a low voice, "Am I selling it too cheaply?"

  Quiet: "..." She sold it to him for only ten cents a pound, and he resold it to others for a hundred cents a pound. He also asked her if he was selling it too cheaply? Obviously she sold it too cheaply!

   However, to make her sell for huge profits like him, as a special soldier who once shed blood for the motherland and the people, and she is upright, she can't do it no matter what.

   He didn't want to tangle with Wang Youbao about the resale price, so he quietly changed the subject and said, "Since you're here, let's eat here at noon."

   They are all friends, Wang Youbao did not refuse, he smiled and replied: "Okay."

   Saw the rice threshing machine in the yard, Wang Youbao walked over, looked at the rice threshing machine, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

  An Jing also walked over: "The rice machine is used to beat rice. My husband and I just figured it out. It's much faster than using a rice tube to beat rice."

   Wang Youbao's eyes lit up immediately.

Without Wang Youbao speaking, Jingjing understood what he meant, and said angrily: "I think you should forget it, this rice machine business is not easy to do, and no one can afford it if you do it, but I spent twelve taels. Duo Cai made such a thing, you say, which farmer can afford it? If you didn’t buy so much bean curd from my family, I wouldn’t be able to make this rice machine.”

  Wang Youbao originally planned to sell rice threshing machines in batches, but when he heard Jing Jing's words, he suddenly stopped.

   At this moment, Wang Youbao also saw that a lot of iron was used in this rice threshing machine, and iron was much more expensive than wood. Even if he made it, no farmer could afford it.

   Since it is a loss-making business, of course he will not do it.

   Seeing that Xiao Changyi had picked the rice seeds, he quietly said: "Master, Youbao, he is eating at our house at noon, let's go to the field and catch two fish and come back."

   "Well." Xiao Changyi had no opinion.

   "Do you still raise fish in your fields?" Wang Youbao was very surprised. "Can there be live fish in the fields?"

   "Yes. At the beginning, we didn't expect to be able to support ourselves, so we just tried it. We didn't expect that we could really support ourselves." Quietly lied.

After thinking for a while, Quietly smiled and said, "We have raised quite a few. Although the fish are not as big as those raised in the pond, the fish meat is much fresher and more tender than the fish raised in the pond, and it tastes like rice flowers. ...Master Fu, do you want to buy it?"

  Wang Youbao's eyes lit up again after being quietly said: "If it's really like what you said, I will buy it. It happens to be sold in my restaurant, and I will definitely make a lot of money again."

   "Then let's talk about it after you taste it at noon."

As soon as   Quiet finished speaking, he planned to go to the field with Xiao Changyi to catch fish, and Wang Youbao also wanted to see what it was like to raise fish in the field, so he went to the field with him.
