Chapter 251: The shock brought by cucumbers and tomatoes
This time, there were as many as 22 people who went to Sifang Restaurant in Youzhou City to deliver vegetables.
In addition to the men, there were six women, including Liu Zhaodi and Han Dazhong's wife Cuihua, who were going to Youzhou City to buy things.
They were responsible for purchasing cloth and other daily necessities.
Everyone was carrying a load, and the two baskets in front and back were filled to the brim.
Han Shunde and Xue Lao Hu were both leading horses.
The horses were also loaded with vegetables and other things.
This time, it was Xue Bao who stayed in Taohuayuan to perform security tasks.
Xue Lao Hu was going to go to Youzhou City with him, and he took a dozen pheasants and rabbits to sell.
Following behind them and saying they were going to see them off was a group of children.
Looking at them eagerly, Li Lanzhen knew that the children really wanted to follow their parents to visit Youzhou City.
But not now, not yet.
After the beginning of next spring, you can take your children to visit Youzhou City.
Just like last time, everyone went down the mountain, crossed the ditch, and climbed up a small hill close to the official road of Youzhou City.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain and put everything down, we covered all the vegetable baskets with quilts.
Han Shunde asked the others to go back.
The two horses were also given to Han Minghai and Han Zhaoxiong to take back to Taohuayuan.
Li Lanzhen saw that there were only five people left.
Apart from the two women, there were Han Shunde, Han Dazhong and Xue Lao Hu.
Li Lanzhen said to them.
“You guys go into the city first, I’ll watch things here.
Village chief, please go to Sifang Restaurant and tell the owner what we have here, and ask him to bring a few more carriages over to transport them."
Han Shunde said, "Sister Lanzhen, let's pick up the things the villagers want to sell first."
Li Lanzhen shook her head and said, "Put it there. I'll talk to the shopkeeper and ask him to take all these things. Pay the money together and I'll share them with everyone when I get back.
These are some food, which should be useful to their restaurant."
Look at Xue Lao Hu carrying a basket full of pheasants and rabbits.
He called out to him, "Father Xue, please put down the prey you hunted and sell it to the restaurant. Is that feasible?"
Xue Lao Hu laughed out loud.
"All right! That's perfect."
They told Li Lanzhen to be careful and went to Youzhou City.
When Li Lanzhen saw them walking away, she took out ten baskets of vegetables from the space, and put the big snake in a big basket, two baskets of duck eggs, two baskets of goose eggs, and two baskets of chicken eggs.
These are all produced in the space. There are too many things, and she wants to consume a batch of them and exchange them for some silver.
Although there was no snow in Youzhou City, the temperature was very low.
Li Lanzhen was afraid of vegetables and eggs, and the duck eggs were frozen.
He simply put all his things into the space and stood at the foot of the mountain waiting.
In less than half an hour, Li Lanzhen saw a carriage rolling towards them.
When she saw the carriage was more than 100 meters away from her, Li Lanzhen put all her things at the foot of the mountain.
After turning the corner of the mountain, the carriage came to her and the owner jumped off.
He smiled and said, "Ma'am, we meet again."
"Yes, Shopkeeper Hua, we meet again."
The first thing that Shopkeeper Hehua delivered was the greenhouse vegetables in Taohuayuan Village.
When Li Lanzhen lifted the quilt covering the baskets of tomatoes and cucumbers.
Shopkeeper Hua was shocked!
She couldn't speak clearly. "Husband, ma'am, are these tomatoes and cucumbers?"
"Yes, you have matured."
Shopkeeper Hua raised his trembling hands and gently stroked the red tomatoes and crisp cucumbers.
The shock in my heart is beyond words!
Even though he had experienced more than ten years of intrigue and deception in the business world and had developed a calm and composed temperament, he was still panicking at this moment.
Li Lanzhen looked at the stunned shopkeeper Hua.
He coughed and said.
"Manager Hua, the weather is a bit cold. Let's settle the money quickly. You can take the vegetables and leave."
Shopkeeper Hua came back to his senses at this moment and nodded in agreement.
Finished counting all the vegetables in the greenhouse.
Li Lanzheng pointed at the remaining baskets and said.
"Manager Hua, look, these are people from our village. They picked up wild duck eggs from the river and collected mountain products from the mountains. They also want to exchange them for some silver. Do you think you can accept them?"
Shopkeeper Hua said without hesitation, "Yes! All of them!
Our restaurant can accept any food that is served.
As for the vegetables and ingredients from your village, we collect them all year round at Sifang Jiulou!"
Li Lanzhen laughed.
He is also a talented person. In order to occupy the only vegetable market in Youzhou City, he agreed to purchase mountain products from the villagers without hesitation.
While the two men were recording the types and quantities of vegetables, the people he brought with him quickly carried the vegetables onto the carriage.
This time, they also brought a lot of oilcloth. They put the vegetable baskets into the carriage and immediately covered them tightly with the quilts they brought, and then wrapped them with oilcloth.
Li Lanzhen took a glance and thought, this is truly a thoughtful person. It would be hard not to make money if he does business so diligently.
After handing over all the items and settling the bill, Shopkeeper Hua pointed at the baskets next to him and asked.
"these are?"
"These are mine." Li Lanzhen said with a laugh.
“I also want to sell these to your restaurant for some silver.
This is a big snake I caught in the mountains. It's so scary. Can you tell me if the restaurant will accept it?"
Hua Zixi took a look at the snake in the basket. It was as thick as a middle-aged man's thigh and still very fresh. Its body and head had been separated and it was still bleeding.
He nodded quickly and said, "Take it, this is a good thing."
Turning around, I saw other vegetables and chicken, duck and goose eggs.
"Haha, these vegetables must be harvested."
The vegetables in the village include tomatoes and cucumbers, and there are quite a lot of them.
This time, according to the contract they signed, they rounded up the amount and paid 1,370 taels of silver.
The villagers' belongings were also exchanged for silver.
All of Li Lanzhen's belongings were worth more than 600 taels of silver.
Hua Zixi said.
"Madam, look at this amount of silver, is it convenient for you to carry it?
We brought some silver notes and a small amount of cash."
Li Lanzhen said, "It doesn't matter, I can take it away."
After both parties pay for the goods and settle the accounts.
Hua Zixi asked, "Madam, do you want to go into the city? We have a carriage going into the city. Why don't you take the carriage? It will be faster this way."
"OK!"
Li Lanzhen thanked him and got on the carriage and entered Youzhou city.
As she sat in the carriage, she was thinking, I hope I won't run into any trouble again this time when I go into the city.
I just hope I can finish my work smoothly and go home.
When she arrived at the Sifang Restaurant, she thanked Han Mingxiang, got off the carriage and went directly to the bookstore where Han Mingxiang went.
After taking a look around, she saw that the backyard wasn't very big.
Seeing that there was no one around, she threw the 500 kilograms of food, a box of gold and silver jewelry, and three hundred taels of silver that she had prepared directly into the yard from the space.
Of course, there is also a written letter.
She asked Han Mingxiang to write this letter.
She also told Han Mingxiang her plan.
Han Mingxiang is very grateful to his mother.
I feel that Li Lanzhen is an old man who understands the big picture, is open-minded and kind.
He picked up a pen, wrote a letter, put it in an envelope, and gave it to Li Lanzhen.
The letter had no heading, no signature, and no information left on the envelope.
After finishing this matter, Li Lanzhen felt relieved.
She went straight to the vegetable market to buy pork and lard.
Bought this for my home.
The food in the village canteen is already very good, so she doesn't need to use her own money to buy food.
All these things in the cafeteria have been discussed and handled by Han Shunde and his colleagues.
So she wanted to prepare some food for her small family and her parents.
An hour and a half later, Li Lanzhen finished her work and came to the entrance of Sifang Restaurant carrying a basket to meet Han Shunde.
When she arrived, she saw Han Shunde and five other people carrying baskets, and each basket was full of things.
After everyone gathered together, Li Lanzhen gave each of them a sesame seed bun and they ate as they walked out.
They hurried and entered the Peach Blossom Spring just as it was getting dark.
As they passed 11 trees, they heard children shouting and crying.
Several people ran there.
He saw Han Yinan head on and shouted.
"Grandma! Grandma, there are people in the river, two people!"
