Portable Space: Small Peasant Girls Farm to Get Rich

Chapter 244
Jiang Dafu nodded heavily and ordered the coachman to take out the potatoes prepared in advance.

The crowd that gathered around looked at the contents in the basket curiously, but did not speak immediately.

Liu Qingcao saw their reactions in his eyes. Jiang Dafu was still a little anxious, but when he saw the voices gradually starting to talk among the crowd, he immediately relaxed.

"What do you think this is? Is it something good?"

"It looks like a fruit, but the fruit shape is not very good-looking. The seller is so silent, so I guess the taste is not very good."

"I don't look like it."

"Hey, don't tell me. These two are so well-dressed. This thing doesn't look good. Maybe it's a good thing. I have to ask." With that, the man squeezed in.

"Master, what is this thing? Can you tell me?" The man said politely.

Jiang Dafu's expression was a little unnatural when he was called "Master" for the first time, but he quickly regained his composure.

"This is a potato, which can be used as a staple food." Jiang Dafu changed the name of the potato according to the words prepared by Liu Qingcao in advance.

After Jiang Dafu finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up and they all came closer.

"Master, are you telling the truth?" The man spoke again, this time his voice was obviously much more urgent.

Liu Qingcao looked at the man in front of her calmly, with the corners of her mouth raised slightly. She moved her gaze from him to Jiang Dafu. Seeing that he was coping with it easily, her smile inadvertently deepened.

"Of course." Jiang Dafu replied confidently.

After saying that, seeing the hesitation and doubt in the man's eyes, Jiang Dafu put a polite smile on his face and said, "Buy merchant, if you don't believe it, we have prepared a tasting plate, you can try it."

"Okay, I'll try, I'll try."

"I want to try too."

"And me, I want to try it too."

……

I heard that there was a tasting, and a group of people were eager to try it.

Jiang Dafu smiled and looked at Liu Qingcao. Liu Qingcao nodded, took out a bamboo stick and opened the food box in his hand.

"It smells so good!"

As soon as the food box was opened, the aroma of vegetables came out. The people in front hurriedly picked up bamboo sticks and picked up a stick of shredded potatoes and put them in their mouths.

"good to eat!"

"Hey, isn't this spicy and sour potato shreds?" The man froze on the spot and muttered softly.

When he came to his senses, he looked at Jiang Dafu with a smile and ignored everyone who was tasting the food.

"Sir, I've covered all of this. How much money do you want?"

Everyone: "..."

The merchants who were still tasting or thinking about it were all stunned for a moment, and then started to shout dissatisfiedly, which was more noisy and lively than the vegetable market.

"Can you really sell them all?" Jiang Dafu confirmed again.

The man nodded with a smile on his face, "Seriously, seriously, how about we go to the tea shop to talk?"

"Okay." Jiang Dafu agreed, turned around and walked towards the tea shop.

"and many more!"

A voice sounded, interrupting Jiang Dafu's footsteps. He turned around and looked at the person who spoke. The middle-aged man's dark and rough face showed unwillingness and eagerness.

"Master, can you be more gentle with me? I'll take it back to my pregnant daughter-in-law." The middle-aged man looked at Jiang Dafu nervously, for fear that he would not agree.

"This..." The man who wanted to buy it all looked at the middle-aged man, then at Jiang Dafu, and hesitated for a long time without speaking to stop him.

Jiang Dafu couldn't bear it, so he nodded in agreement. "Uncle, this merchant has paid for everything, but he can't bring out much. These potatoes are not cheap. They cost 220 yuan per pound. Do you think they still need them?" Jiang Dafu quoted the price.

The middle-aged man was shocked when he heard this, and then he was relieved.

He knew about this potato. One day last year, he went to Qianfeng Town to collect the goods and had a meal in a restaurant in the town. There was this potato in it, but the name was different.

I thought it was delicious at the time, so I packed a portion and took it home. My family all liked it, but when I came back to pack it later, I was told by the shopkeeper that it was no longer available.

The family wanted to eat but there was none, so they had to rest their minds.

He had never seen the original appearance of this dish, but when he saw the sample dish in the food box, he was pleasantly surprised to find that this was the delicacy they talked about every day.

"Sir, I want to buy twenty kilograms." The middle-aged man thought for a moment. Twenty kilograms of this thing would be enough to pay for two portions of food. If it hadn't been bought by someone else, he would definitely have to buy a hundred kilograms. pounds.

"Okay, here are the twenty jins for you." Jiang Dafu evenly gave him twenty jins. After collecting the money, he stopped staying and entered the tea shop with the merchants.

Those who wanted to be well-proportioned slowly dispersed after knowing that there was no chance.

In the tea shop, the man hid his smile, but if you look closely at his eyes, it was not difficult to see that he was suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

Liu Qingcao glanced at him calmly, raised his eyebrows and smiled, thinking that this person had seen the dishes in the food box.

Jiang Dafu drank the tea slowly without intending to speak. Seeing that Jiang Dafu still had no intention of speaking after half a cup of tea, the man felt a little worried, so he calmed down and spoke first.

"Master, how do you plan to sell these potatoes?" The man was a little worried. These potatoes are not cheap per pound, and he was a little afraid that the seller would raise the price.

"This young merchant, I have a thousand kilograms of potatoes here, do you really want them all?" Jiang Dafu did not hesitate to answer the question.

"If the price is right, I can eat a thousand kilograms of potatoes." The man was silent for a while and said bluntly.

"Brother, if you finish the purchase, how about I give you 110 yuan per catty?" Jiang Dafu seemed to think about it for a moment, and then said with a smile.

The man thought for a moment and did not lower the price any further. He knew that this item was not cheap in a restaurant.

"Okay." The man agreed readily, took out the banknote and handed it to Jiang Dafu.

"Brother, I'm glad, we are destined to meet again." Jiang Dafu took the money with a smile and put it in his pocket.

Liu Qingcao didn't speak the whole time. It wasn't until the two of them returned to Qianfeng Town after the transaction that Liu Qingcao slowly spoke.

"Brother Jiang, I got more than 200 taels of silver for this cart of potatoes, plus the money earned from working, the villagers in Shihe Village are enough before tax, but they can't get it out of Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village before tax. "

"Alas, the war has suffered a lot for the soldiers and the people." Jiang Dafu said, his eyes became dark and unclear, and his expression was sad.

Liu Qingcao nodded, feeling that Jiang Dafu was right.

The country is not peaceful and the people are uneasy.

Fighting is really a waste of life and money.

"Brother Jiang, we just need to be prepared. There is nothing else we can do." Liu Qingcao comforted him.

If we lose this battle, we are afraid that the imperial court will recruit troops. If there is a military recruitment, I am afraid that most of the strong laborers in the village will have to go.

"Yeah." Jiang Dafu squeaked, feeling mixed.

Seeing him like this, Liu Qingcao couldn't talk about it anymore, so he changed the topic.

"Brother Jiang, what are you going to do with the tax money from Shiqing Village and Shiliu Village?" Liu Qingcao went out to sell things these days to make money, and put the money in his hands to a clear way, in order to collect taxes from the court.

"Qingcao, I'm really worried. I went to those two villages a few days ago and found Tian Lin and Jiang Li. They said that the villagers were going to the bank to borrow money."

Jiang Dafu was extremely helpless when he heard this, but he had no other way. He couldn't afford such a large sum of money, and Liu Qingcao didn't have any extra money.

Tian Lin and Jiang Li had been worrying about the tax money for the two villages for a long time. In the end, they had no idea of ​​a way and had to go to the bank to borrow money tomorrow.

It is impossible to sell the land. Compared with now that the fields are planted with rice, it would be really heartbreaking to sell it.

Not to mention that there was medicated fertilizer in it!
