Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 24 Zhao Dawei, the Manager of the Zhao Mansion

Manager Zhao thought that if he could buy those fresh grapes and bring them back, the old lady in the mansion would definitely reward him.

But the grapes are gone, but there are still persimmons. These persimmons are even rarer and are hard to find even in the provincial capital. He only saw naturally ripe fresh persimmons once in Hongzhou last year.

The skin is thin and the filling is large. It is fresh, sweet and has a strong persimmon aroma. The more you look at this persimmon, the better it tastes.

He is determined to get this persimmon.

Someone else came over to look at it and said, "These persimmons look delicious and juicy. Young man, are they for sale? If so, I'd like to buy some."

Gu Yan was a little undecided.

At this time, an auntie who had just bought five bunches of grapes said, "These persimmons are so juicy. I bought them in the state last time for 7 cents a pound. They were very sweet, but the ones I bought then didn't look as fresh as the ones in this basket, young man. If you sell them, I'll buy some back for my son to taste."

Hearing this, Gu Yan looked at Gu Qingzhi again and saw that she looked very happy. She even smiled and winked at him.

Gu Yan immediately understood her look, and after calculating silently in his mind, he made a prompt decision, "You uncles and aunts have seen our persimmons. They were picked this morning, so they are fresh, big, and sweet. There are not many of them. We have only these, so let's consider it as a token of our good will. Three cents for two."

Scarcity makes things valuable. In a short while, only three were left out of half a basket of wild persimmons.

Gu Yan bowed to everyone and said, "Everyone, these are the only persimmons we have. I'm sorry to those who didn't buy any."

As he said this, he took out the three remaining persimmons from the bottom of the basket and handed them to the shopkeeper. "I'm sorry, shopkeeper, I just disturbed the peace of the clinic. I want to give you these persimmons as an apology. Please accept them."

The shopkeeper couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it. "Okay, thank you both very much, I won't refuse it."

The brother and sister bowed to everyone and left the clinic together.

***

After walking out of the clinic, the brother and sister still seemed to be in a dream. Did they sell the wild grapes and persimmons they brought with them?

The bamboo leaf green was sold for 5 strings of coins, the wild grapes were sold for 170 coins, and the persimmons were sold for 51 coins.

When the two men came, their pockets were empty, but when they left, they had 5 strings of coins and 221 coins in their pockets!

It feels like a dream.

"Come on, brother will take you for a walk." Gu Yan took his sister's hand and planned to take her to the market.

The harvest from today's trip was really beyond my expectations. I originally just wanted to sell the venomous snake, but I didn't expect that not only did I sell a bamboo green pit viper for a high price, but what I didn't expect was that the mountain products that even peddlers in the village didn't like to buy were actually sold at a high price here!

Even Gu Yan, who was usually calm, was a little excited.

However, when he thought about how he had sold wild grapes from Zhang the peddler before, and how he only sold two pounds of fresh and intact grapes for one cent, and had to pay several dozen cents in handling fees, Gu Yan became confused for a moment.

Just after walking out of the clinic for more than ten meters, a person came up to him breathlessly, "Young Master, please stay, Young Master, please stay..."

At first, Gu Yan didn't realize that the person was calling him. He walked forward slowly holding Gu Qingzhi's hand until the person stopped him at the corner and he reacted.

This person looks somewhat familiar.

"Young man, do you remember that I bought persimmons from you in the clinic just now?" Zhao Dawei asked a little nervously.

I remembered that it was the customer who asked him if he sold persimmons at the beginning of the clinic.

What is he doing? Gu Yan instantly became alert and asked calmly, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Dawei gritted his teeth and decided to give it a try. He had just thought about it and thought that these two people could actually come up with such fresh fruits. Maybe he could get them again in the future?

If he could buy such fresh fruits frequently and bring them home, it would be of great benefit to him. How could he know if it would work if he didn't try it?

Zhao Dawei's daring and courageous thinking have enabled him to rise from an outer gate servant to his current position as the manager in charge of purchasing for the kitchen.

If he didn't have any ideas, he would probably still be serving as an outer gate servant.

When he met the two men selling persimmons this time, he keenly realized that this was an opportunity that he could seize.

After getting the medicine at the clinic, he hurried out to discuss with the two of them. Now looking at the appearance of this young man, although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, he had an extraordinary appearance and temperament, and he seemed to be someone who could take on the responsibility.

If this matter can be negotiated, the burden on my shoulders will be lightened, I will have one more option, and I can please the old lady. Maybe I can go further. It can be said that I can kill several birds with one stone.

After thinking about it, he decided to be frank. "Young Master, I am Zhao Dawei, the manager in charge of purchasing for the Zhao Mansion. I have a business deal that I would like to discuss with you. I would like to ask you, young master, if fruits like today can be obtained in the future?"

Zhao Mansion? Gu Qingzhi was startled when she heard this. She seemed to have heard her mother say that some of her embroidery work was sold to wealthy families in the county, and the Zhao Mansion seemed to be one of them.

But it had a greater impact on Gu Yan. Although the Zhao family was low-key in the county, they seemed to have a great background and someone in the family seemed to be an official in Beijing.

The manager of the Zhao residence came to see me. Was he asking me about fruit just now?

He had a secret guess in his mind.

However, it still needs to be verified whether this person is the manager of the Zhao Mansion. Now, since he has plenty of time, it would not hurt to listen to what he has to say first. Maybe it will be an opportunity.

"It turns out to be Manager Zhao. My apologies! As for the wild grapes and persimmons, they are still available for the time being." Gu Yan said affirmatively. However, fruits also have their seasons, and they may not be available after the season is over.

Zhao Dawei was overjoyed when he heard this. He just heard them say that these grapes and persimmons were picked in the deep mountains and forests, and they were wild fruits.

Moreover, he had just tasted it, and the taste of this wild persimmon was actually better than the persimmons sold on the market. Of course, he also knew that fruit was seasonal. It was only September now, and according to the growing season of the fruit, these two kinds of fruit should still be able to be picked for a while.

He no longer hesitated, "I have a business I want to discuss with you, young master. Why don't we find a place to sit down?"

Manager Zhao's tone suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

Gu Yan glanced at Gu Qingzhi, a little hesitant. He had just said that he wanted to take his sister to the market.

As if she had seen through his thoughts, Gu Qingzhi suddenly smiled and blinked her big round eyes. Her lively almond-shaped eyes were very pretty. "Brother, business is more important. I happen to be a little hungry. Let's find a place to eat something."

When Zhao Dawei heard that there was a play, he clapped his hands happily and said with a smile, "In front is the Manjiang Tower under our Zhao Mansion. The cakes there are very suitable for young lady to eat."

After hearing this, Gu Yan whispered and asked Gu Qingzhi for her opinion, and then the two of them followed Manager Zhao to Manjiang Tower.
