Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 62: Buying frosting is a little expensive

Since the fruit was not suitable to be moved all the time, Gu Yan left the baskets and bags to them. Manager Zhao did the same, and they all agreed to pick up the baskets and bags the next time they came to deliver the goods.

That's why Gu Yan felt that the basket was not enough.

Gu Yan picked up the basket and bag and the two of them said goodbye to Shopkeeper Zheng and left.

After the brother and sister came out of the fruit shop, they found a large double-horse carriage parked at the door and the waiter from the shop was moving fruits back and forth into the carriage.

When Gu Qingzhi took a look, she saw that the wild persimmons and mountain grapes they had just delivered were already placed on the table.

She was a little confused. It had just been delivered, so where should it be sent next?

Just then, two waiters came over with a basket of persimmons. The steward next to them kept reminding them, "Be careful, be careful. These have to be sent to the state capital as fast as possible. Don't damage them."

Gu Qingzhi pricked up her ears. Zhoucheng? Jiangzhoucheng?

Gu Yan took her a few steps outside, and seeing that she was still frowning in thought, he couldn't help but laugh, and then leaned over to her ear and whispered, "Didn't Auntie Le say before that Manager Zheng's family opened a fruit shop in Jiangzhou?"

"These fruits should be sent there. Besides, there are many people there, and their spending power is much stronger than this small Pengze County."

"The most important thing is that the prices in Jiangzhou are higher than those in Pengze."

This way the profit can be higher.

Gu Qingzhi suddenly realized, so that's how it was, she learned something new.

Gu Yan pulled Gu Qingzhi towards the market, "Qingqing, let's go to the East Market first."

Most rice and grain shops are in the East Market.

Although Gu Yan had never been to a grain shop, he knew where the grain shop was in the county.

They went to the East Market, asked around a bit, and then chose a medium-priced grain store to go in. "Boss, give us one stone of fine rice and one stone of fine flour.

He also handed over the bag of grain he brought from home.

The shopkeeper took the bag and motioned the waiter to weigh it. "Okay, wait a moment, young master."

Gu Qingzhi was a little curious, "Brother, when did you prepare the food bags?"

At this time, you have to bring your own bag when buying food, otherwise you will be charged extra for each bag of food.

Gu Yan curled his lips slightly, "Just now when I went home to pick up the goods."

Yesterday, Gu Yan discovered that there was not much rice and flour left in the kitchen, but there were still some coarse grains.

Qingqing likes to eat white rice. Now that they are making money, there is no reason for them to put themselves in a difficult position.

"My dear young man, thank you for your patronage. The fine rice is 300 wen, and the fine noodles are 350 wen, a total of 650 wen."

Gu Qingzhi hurried forward and counted out 650 coins from her purse and handed them over to the grain shop owner in the surprised look of the owner.

Although the shopkeeper was surprised why this young lady paid, but what did it have to do with him? His surprise only lasted for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his state and took the money handed over by Gu Qingzhi with a smile.

Gu Yan tied up the grain bags handed to him by the waiter, picked up one in each hand, and placed them in the backpack on his shoulder.

Then, the two of them went to the next store.

Gu Qingzhi was thinking about making wine, so she had to buy icing sugar.

"Qingqing, where are we going now?"

"Brother, let's buy some icing sugar. We need icing sugar to make wine."

Gu Yan had no objection and took Gu Qingzhi's hand and walked towards the grocery store.

When I asked at the grocery store, I was told that icing sugar cost 15 cents per pound.

Gu Qingzhi was stunned. Is it so expensive?

Gu Yan looked down and saw Gu Qingzhi's stunned expression. He thought his sister was so cute, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Qingqing, how much frosting do you need to make wine?"

Gu Qingzhi thought about it and realized that there were still 200 kilograms of grapes at home. If she kept some for eating, she could still have more than 100 kilograms to make wine.

Ancient books say that 6 kilograms of grapes equal 1 kilogram of sugar. So, how about buying 30 kilograms first?

Frosting is quite expensive, 30 kilograms costs 450 coins.

The cost is a bit high, it seems that this wine must be successful.

The two of them had just walked out the door after buying the frosting when they saw a group of people walking hurriedly forward.

The brother and sister were very curious. What happened? What happened before?

Gu Yan suddenly said, "I heard that there is beef for sale in front."

Gu Qingzhi was shocked when she heard this. "Brother, did you hear wrong? Isn't beef not allowed to be sold?"

Gu Yan shook his head. He didn't know either. "Da Qi has such a rule."

Working oxen are very important property and cannot be slaughtered at will.

Gu Qingzhi lowered her head and thought about it. With so many people, it was probably not groundless. "Brother, how about we go and take a look?"

It would be great if I could buy a pound or two of beef, after all, it is difficult to buy beef through normal channels.

Gu Yan never disagreed with anything his sister wanted to do.

Neither of them needed to ask for directions, they just followed the crowd.

Soon, they saw a long line in front of the butcher shop, with a sign that said "beef".

They also confirmed that beef was really being sold here, and the two quickly joined the queue.

Gu Qingzhi listened attentively to the conversation of the aunts in the queue.

"Aunt Sun, why did you come just now?"

"Oh, I'm going to inform my daughter, right?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

"I just called my sister."

"By the way, this beef is the same one I bought last year from a cow that was almost dead."

"Hey, I bought this last year too, but the beef wasn't very tasty, it was lean and tough. This one is different."

"Why is it different?" Some people came late and were dragged here by others, and they didn't understand what was going on.

"I'm telling you, it's like this..."

It turned out that the working ox had fallen down the hillside and was seriously injured and on the verge of death. The village head had to report it to the government immediately. Only with the government's consent did he dare to sell the ox's meat at the market to minimize the loss.

After all, cows were not cheap at that time. A middle-aged cow cost 4 or 5 strings of coins, which was a considerable expense for farmers.

Gu Qingzhi was secretly surprised after hearing this. As long as there was no problem with the origin of the cow, it would be fine. She didn't expect that they would encounter such a good thing.

Moreover, from what people around me say, this cow is still in its prime, not an old ox that died of farming, so its beef should be delicious.

Gu Qingzhi remembered that she had always wanted to make some snacks for her brother, and now the beef was delivered to her door.

She tugged at Gu Yan's sleeve and said, "Brother, can we buy some more beef later?"

Gu Yan... So my sister likes to eat beef?

He nodded, that was of course no problem.

Although I want to buy more, there are too many people and too little meat, so the purchase of beef is limited! Each person is limited to two kilograms, no more.

When it was their turn, the brother and sister saw the sign hanging above.

The two looked at each other.

Gu Yan thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle, we want two pounds of beef. Can we also get the bones?"
