Chapter 58 Buying Tools and Selling Mint Leaves Cleverly

Chen Liehu was the first to express his opinion, "I think the girl Fuxi is quite comprehensive when she thinks about the problem despite her young age. Anyway, I have no objection."

He is also not interested in doing business, and he thinks he doesn't have that kind of brains, so naturally he won't fight for the inn.Moreover, he was the only one who was the main force involved in building the house, and he had to rely more on the Sun family and the group of people following Ji Xingze, so he wouldn't suffer no matter what.

Don't blame him for thinking so much. No matter who it is at this time, the first thing that comes to mind is his own family.Even Sun Fuxi was different, she did this to seize the first opportunity to make money for her family.

Ji Xingze owes his success to Sun Fuxi. If he didn't have this identity, he would have to take many detours.

Right now, it is not easy for him to support Da Kui and his group of people. If they are too idle, accidents are easy to happen. Since Sun Fuxi thought of such a way to solve the problem of the big guy's accommodation, and let the big guy have something to do, maybe there is still money to be made. Naturally happy to support.

But there is a problem that he also needs to put the ugly words up front.

"I have to discuss this matter with the big guys in advance." After everyone looked over, he continued, "From the current point of view, there are many people on my side and many houses are needed. Uncle Chen's family probably needs to build a lot Less, how can it be reasonable for us?"

"Hey~" Sun Wangui waved his hands, "I don't think it's necessary to forget about this. In the past, when the villagers built houses in the village, the big guys would help, as long as the head of the house took care of the food."

"Uncle Chen, what do you think?" Ji Xingze turned to look at Chen Liehu.

"I think what my in-laws said is right, so don't make it so clear between us. Although there are many people on your side in Xingze, there are also many people who can work. Maybe we are still taking advantage of you. Why don't you follow the old rules? , Whoever builds the house will take care of the food."

"Fuxi, what do you think?" Ji Xingze didn't forget to ask Sun Fuxi for his opinion.

"Of course I listen to my father." The reason why she interrupted before was to find a livelihood for the family.Each of the three of them has to contribute to building a house, so it is really impossible to calculate so clearly.

Because the inn is related to the issue of making money, it is still different from the house where she lives, so she thinks about paying according to her labor.It’s also about building a house, but it’s really not a one-size-fits-all problem.

Besides, it's not her turn to make decisions in their family, and her father's suggestion is very good, as long as everyone has no opinion, she can't get involved.

Sun Wangui looked at Ji Xingze, "Xingze, what do you think?" The matters of the three families cannot be decided by the two.

"Then do as Uncle and Uncle Chen said."

Even if this matter is finalized.But when everyone discussed building an inn, new problems appeared.

If you want to build a wooden house, you need wood. There is nothing else in the back mountain, but there is a lot of wood.But among them, except for Sun Wangui, none of them had tree-cutting tools at hand. Besides, some tools were needed to build a house, but buying these tools required a lot of money. Who would pay for it?

After Sun Fuxi called Sun Wangui aside to express his thoughts, Sun Wangui decided that his family would pay the money.But the problem is that their family doesn't have much money left after spending the one tael of silver yesterday, so they may not be able to afford so many tools.If they bought tools, their family would have no money to buy food for the winter.When it's their turn to build a house, what will their family feed the big guys?

But Sun Fuxi and Sun Wangui's proposal was too exciting, thinking that if he could build houses for others in the future, he might really earn a lot of money, so he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Ji Xingze was well aware of Sun Wangui's difficulties, and offered to pay the money from him, but Sun Wangui refused.In the past, the child followed them alone, and it was acceptable to pay some money to buy some food.In the future, he will support a family and support a large number of people, so he must not be allowed to spend any more money.

In the end, as Sun Wangui was an expert in this field, it was natural for him to take the lead in buying tools. Ji Xingze was smart and thoughtful, so Sun Wangui asked him to accompany him.Sun Fuxi thought about going to Fucheng to see if there were other ways to earn money, so he also begged to go with him.Although there is a carriage, it is still easier to store things in storage bags, so Sun Wangui agreed to her request.

The rest of the men went down to the back mountain to collect firewood and hunt under the leadership of Chen Orhu.Before the house was built, they had to live, and they had to light a fire to keep warm.

The female relatives were not idle either, and there was a lot of work such as sewing, mending, washing, boiling water, and cooking.

This time, everyone knew how far it would take for Sun to go to Fucheng in a carriage, so Sun Wangui speeded up while driving.Even so, it took more than one and a half hours to reach Fucheng.

Like other cities and towns, each person needs two renminbi to enter the city, and the carriage also needs to pay two renminbi.

They had only been to Fucheng yesterday, and they knew where the market was, so they went there without delay after entering the city.When he found a shop selling tools and inquired about it, Sun Wangui felt like retreating.

This is too expensive!

A larger two-handed saw costs [-] to [-] ren, a jigsaw from [-] to [-] ren, a planer from [-] to [-] ren, a carving knife from [-] to [-] ren, and a hammer from [-] to [-] ren. A few Wen, carpentry chisel twenty to fifty Wen, or even hundreds of Wen.

In the end, even Sun Fuxi came forward to fight hard with the boss, and they spent a full two taels of silver to get together the tools they wanted to buy.The reason why I bought more is because these tools are consumables that may break down at any time, and it is too inconvenient to go to Fucheng to buy now, so I might as well prepare more.

Since it was agreed that Sun Wangui would pay the money, and knowing that their family wanted to do business in this area in the future, Ji Xingze did not greet him politely.However, he made up his mind to sell some herbs for some money later, and buy some food for the Sun family to survive the winter.

Sun Fuxi also wanted to sell some of the mint leaves in his hand and some of the wild vegetables he had picked before, so the three of them went to the pharmacy together.

Before they could inquire about the price, an older woman led a little girl into the pharmacy in a hurry.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any mint leaves here?" the older woman asked, "My wife is a bit uncomfortable when she first came to Fucheng, and she wants some fresh mint leaves to make purses."

The shopkeeper replied: "There are mint leaves, but there are no fresh ones." Then he asked, "I don't know if it will be useful to your wife? Besides, who is your wife?"

"Our master is the newly appointed Qu Tongzhi." It was inconvenient to report his wife's name, so Nanny Li directly reported their master's official position.

"It turns out to be Mrs. Qu's wife." The shopkeeper became more respectful, "Then I don't know what symptoms Madam has? Do you need to ask Mr. Hu, who is sitting in the hall, to show Madam?"

Nanny Li refused, "That's not necessary, my wife already knows some medical skills." Not only their wife, but she also knows a little bit.

"Then I don't know why your wife must have mint leaves? Fresh mint leaves?" asked the shopkeeper curiously.

"Our wife just has some headaches and nausea. I have had similar symptoms before. I made a pouch with fresh mint leaves and wore it often to relieve it." Take some dried mint leaves." The effect was far worse, but at this time of year, and in the north, there would be no fresh ones, so she didn't force it.

Just when the shopkeeper was about to fetch dried mint leaves for Nanny Li, Sun Fuxi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, here are some fresh mint leaves for my wife." After saying this, he pretended to take out two fresh mint leaves from his satchel Ye took it to Nanny Li.

"The old lady read it right, right? It's really fresh mint leaves." This was indeed a bit beyond Nanny Li's expectation.

"Of course you read it right," Sun Fuxi said with a smile, "Our family planted it in a flower pot a while ago. I wanted to ask the shopkeeper if I would accept it, but I happened to meet you." Even if the other party was just a colleague Sun Fuxi, a servant of the acquaintance, is still very polite.

"That's a coincidence." In the eyes of Nanny Li, although Sun Fuxi's clothes are shabby and a little... nondescript (there is no way, Zhang Yunniang made her a small rabbit fur waistcoat for her to keep warm), but her appearance is very unattractive Xi, full of aura, even though Nanny Li looked at her critically, she liked her very much, talking and laughing with her.

This made the girl next to her named Ganoderma feel surprised. She really rarely saw Li Nanny being so amiable.

Nanny Li then asked Sun Fuxi: "I don't know how much the little girl plans to sell one plant to the old woman?"

"Look at what you said, there are only two plants in total. If you don't have any money, you can just take it back and use it for your wife." Before, the highest she sold was only two yuan a catty. She really didn't plan to buy these two plants. Asking for money is to form a good relationship with the other party.

"That's impossible, how can the old woman want your things casually."

"This is really worthless, you just keep it." Sun Fuxi still firmly refused.

"By the way," said Nanny Li, "the old lady just heard from you that you came to ask the pharmacy whether to accept this. Do you still have it? If you have any, give them all to the old lady, and treat it as the old lady's collection." .”

"It's... not good."

"What's so good about this? If I hadn't met you, the old woman wouldn't know what to do to complete the work my wife told me."

"Alright then, just give me some as you see fit." After speaking, Sun Fuxi took out a dozen mint leaves and handed them to Nanny Li.

"This is great." When you take it back and soak it in water, it may still take root, and it may last longer.When Nanny Li was happy, she grabbed a large handful of copper coins and gave them to Sun Fuxi.

After Sun Fuxi took the copper coins, he was both surprised and happy, but he said politely: "This is too much, I can't take it."

"Not much, not much, if you take it, you can take it, and consider it a gift from my wife." After finishing speaking, Nanny Li and Ganoderma lucidum carefully wrapped the mint leaves with a handkerchief, and left happily.

"That..." After Nanny Li and Ganoderma lucidum walked away, the shopkeeper asked Sun Fuxi, "Little girl, do you have any extra mint leaves?"
