Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

After saying that, Gu Yan took out two bunches of wild grapes from his backpack and placed them on the counter.

Anyway, wild grapes are not valuable. The shopkeeper who sold the Bamboo Leaf Green grape to him just now gave him 5 strings of coins. He didn't feel sorry at all. Besides, there were plenty of wild grapes on the mountain. He could just pick them if he wanted to eat them.

The shopkeeper was a man of clear mind, and was not carried away by the temptation. He insisted on paying the money and not trying to get a small advantage. "How about this, young man? I think this bunch of grapes weighs more than one pound. I will buy it from you at the market price of 6 cents per pound. How about I pay you 12 cents for these two bunches?"

After saying this, he stroked his beard and laughed, "I am taking advantage of you, young master. The grapes sold in the market in our county are not as fresh as this one."

Although the two little guys said that these were wild grapes picked from the mountains, with his eyes, he could still see that these grapes were not only fresh and big, but also of good quality and exuded a faint fruity aroma, which was in no way worse than those sold in the market.

After hearing what the shopkeeper said, several patients who were seeing the doctor came over to watch the fun, and nodded and said yes.

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi was a little happy, "What the uncles and aunts said is right, this is what my brother and I picked in the mountains and forests this morning, isn't it fresh?"

Someone nearby suddenly came up with an idea, "Girl, I see you still have a lot in your basket, are you still selling it?"

Someone who was interested also said, "Yes, I don't think you can finish so much at once. If you want to sell it, how about we buy some at the shopkeeper's price?"

Gu Yan and Gu Qingzhi looked at each other. They really didn't expect this. This was a complete pleasant surprise. They originally wanted to take some time to go to the market to check out the market.

Gu Yan pretended to think about it for a while before reluctantly agreeing, "Okay, it's fate that you all met here. My brother and I just picked these wild grapes this morning, so they're still very fresh. It's no problem to take them home and keep them for a few days."

"How about this, these big bunches weigh more than a pound, so the big bunches are 6 cents each, and the small bunches are 5 cents each. What do you think, uncles and aunts?"

Everyone nodded after hearing this, "No problem, young master, I want two big ones."

"Hey, young man, give me five bunches of big grapes. These grapes are fresh and can be kept for a few days."

For a moment, everyone was scrambling to shout.

This was something Gu Yan had not expected. How could the price of grapes at the market be so high? Everyone was vying for 5 or 6 cents.

Before that, Zhang the peddler...

Someone couldn't wait to pick a few wild grapes and tasted them. Then he commented with surprise, "Delicious, fresh and sweet! My dear, I want two more big bunches. These are much better than those sold in the market."

"Yeah, that's right. Sweet and fresh, big and juicy."

The enthusiastic voices of the crowd brought Gu Yan back to his senses. How could it not be big? First of all, the land he picked was good, and secondly, these were also carefully selected by him and he planned to take them home for his sister and second aunt to taste.

Gu Yan followed his instructions and handed the grapes to everyone, motioning to his sister to keep the copper coins.

Gu Qingzhi was a little flustered at first, as she didn't expect her brother to ask her to collect the money. Fortunately, everyone was very enthusiastic and busy but not chaotic. It didn't take long for her to adapt and she collected the copper coins in an orderly manner.

Soon the grapes were all gone. A few people who were slow to react only saw the bottom of the basket and most of the wild persimmons in the small backpack next to it, estimating that there were dozens of them.

In fact, the persimmons that ripen at this time of year are delicious. They have a thin skin and are rich in juice. You just need to gently peel a small hole in the skin, blow inside, take a sip, and the juice will overflow. It is very satisfying to eat.

Thinking of the taste of persimmons, Gu Qingzhi couldn't help swallowing when looking at the wild persimmons in the small backpack.

Gu Yan picked so many persimmons because he thought his sister would like them. And because he had carefully selected them before, the persimmons in the small basket were all big and red, and each one was very tempting to look at.

However, there is one thing: although persimmons that ripen naturally on the tree are delicious, they are not easy to preserve. They will go bad if they are slightly knocked. Rotten persimmons do not look good and their prices will be suppressed. Moreover, ripe persimmons are not easy to preserve for a long time and are not convenient to transport. Therefore, they are rarely seen on the market.

Just like Zhang, the peddler in the next village, when he buys persimmons, he only buys those that are unripe and have green skin, and he doesn't want any ripe and soft persimmons.

At this time, the people who didn't buy grapes were a little unwilling to give up. Seeing the big and red persimmons in the small basket, which exuded a faint persimmon fragrance, they asked, "Hey, young man, can you sell these persimmons?"

Gu Yan had never sold wild persimmons. Wild persimmons were more difficult to preserve than grapes. The peddler Zhang only bought those unripe, green wild persimmons, and the price was extremely low. It would be better to pick those hairy chestnuts and pecans, which could be preserved longer.

Moreover, every time they went to Zhang the peddler to sell goods, they had to pay him a handling fee. This was called selling on behalf of others. In other words, Zhang the peddler would collect all the mountain products they sold together and then sell them to the pawnshop in the county. Therefore, they had to give him money every time they sold mountain products. If they sold less, it would not be cost-effective, as there would be little left after deducting the handling fee.

He is the only peddler who collects goods in this area. Otherwise, he would have to come to the county pawnshop to sell them himself.

But the brokerage firm does not accept goods from individual investors.

During the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the people who picked mountain products were basically teenagers in the family, or adults had time to pick some during the slack season. The prices of mountain products were extremely low, so basically no one took this as their main business.

The children in the family would go up the mountain to pick some to supplement the family income. They would eat some of it themselves and sell the rest.

Therefore, everyone had only one choice. Those who wanted to sell some mountain products would usually store up a certain amount of them before sending them to Zhang the peddler to sell.

It is rare to find someone like Gu Yan who picks a lot of mountain products every year.

The price of mountain products is too low. For farmers, it would be better for them to work more in the fields.

Gu Yan looked at Gu Qingzhi. He picked these for his sister to satisfy her craving. He was about to say that he didn't want to sell them, but Gu Qingzhi held his hand and shook her head. "Uncles and aunts, of course I'm selling these, but the price is ..."

She wanted to say that she didn't know the price, as no one in the village would buy these and they had no idea how much they would cost.

But in the eyes of others, it means that the price of these persimmons is high.

It just so happened that the person who asked the question just now was not short of money. He was a manager in charge of purchasing in the Zhao Mansion. He came to get medicine for the old lady today, but he came a little late because Gu Yan's wild grapes had been sold out.

He immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet. If he had not been stopped by the gatekeeper at the corner gate and talked to him for a few more words, he would have been able to buy those fresh and juicy grapes.

The old lady in the mansion loved to eat these fresh fruits the most, but the fruits sold in the fruit stalls in the county town were not that fresh. She often asked people to rush to the state capital to buy them, but even so, they were not as fresh and juicy as the grapes she saw today.
