Chapter 694: Agricultural rchants Ca To Purchase
It was the first ti for He Xiyan to see such a scene. Before, Chen Jiahang ca alone. She had been confined at ho for more than two months and could not go out. Then she refused to eat anything for two days, which frightened Chen Jiahang to tears, then he could only set her free.
She looked at a board brought by the rchant, which showed the purchase price of various agricultural products:
Local chicken: 8 yuan/jin
Local duck: 6.5 yuan/jin
Bacon: 7 yuan/jin
Local eggs: 0.3 yuan each
Local duck eggs: 0.4 yuan each
Dried chili pepper: 4.5 yuan/jin
Dried fish pieces (bullhead or grass carp): 6 yuan/jin
Fire-dried fish: 7 yuan/jin
...
What a low price! So cheap?
Looking at the price list, He Xiyan could not help sighing deeply, indeed feeling sympathy for the villagers living here. These agricultural products must be sold in the city market at least four tis the purchase price, and so even more than five or six tis the purchase price.
The profit was earned by the middlen. The peasants here worked hard and ended up with a little inco. Nevertheless, they had no other way. With no knowledge and a little literacy, they didn’t know how to sell their products. What was worse, the traffic here was inconvenient. Living far from the city, they had been in the mountains all year round, having no way to get to know the outside world.
“Here are ours, eight old hens and seventy eggs. You calculate them for .” A woman in her fifties pushed herself into the crowd, who, appearing quite aggressive, pushed the other villagers in front of her away directly.
Then she waved her hands, motioning her son to pull everything over.
Her actions quickly aroused so people’s discontent. After all, everyone was queuing in line.
“Well well, sister Li, are you going to sell all your chickens? Why don’t you save a few for your new daughter-in-law?” A woman teased.
This Wang family was widely known recently. It was said that the daughter-in-law bought by his family had tried to run away several tis and that she was locked up at ho after being caught back, mad and insane.
Sister Li looked very unhappy with her face pulled long. “What do you care so much?” She said angrily, casting a fierce look at the ddler.
rchants quickly did the account for Wang Zhi’s family. Eight chickens totaled 27 jin, 216 yuan and 70 local eggs totaled 21 yuan. So she sold them for 237 yuan altogether.
After counting the money over and over again and making sure that there was no mistake, she put all the money into her pocket, leaving no penny to her son Wang Zhi.
It was now Chen Jiahang’s turn. Because he couldn’t speak, he just put everything he brought in front of the rchants, including 35 bottles of chopped pepper sauce and 2.5 kilograms of dried fish.
He Xiyan stood beside him. She went to the rchant and looked at him, who seed to be very good at making business. She leaned down and smiled at the man in front of her.
“Brother, can you give us a more reasonable price?” She smiled and said.
The rchant, nad Liu Mingdong, had been dealing local products for more than ten years and owned several stores in downtown county and provincial capital. It was the first ti for him to see a sister bargaining with him. After all, in this rural area, there were few rchants coming to purchase local products, so he could keep the price down.
He looked at the sister with so doubts, who, white and pure, did not look like a rural resident at all. She also spoke standard Mandarin, unlike villagers who spoke dialect or nonstandard Mandarin.
