Chapter 140 Purchasing Grapes ([-]st update)
Li Xianyun led a group of people to set up tables, benches, baskets, scale beams, weights, etc.

Then she divided the labor between everyone.

She chose two strong and honest men to be responsible for weighing the grapes, and two more men to check the quality of the grapes. Zhuoma, who knew how to read, was responsible for recording, and Youlan was responsible for settling the silver.

Li Xianyun came out of the palace this time and brought out a lot of broken silver and copper coins, asking Youlan to keep them.

As an upright person, Habu had high moral standing and people tended to listen to him, so he and a man were put in charge of maintaining order.

Li Xianyun did not assign a task to Battelle, but asked him to follow her.

The people in the village are a mixed bag of good and bad, so if she encounters an unreasonable scoundrel, it would be nice to have someone to protect her.

There were still seven or eight men left, so Li Xianyun asked them to be responsible for arranging the grapes neatly on the wooden shelves in the drying room.

Li Xianyun said to everyone: "You guys do your job well, I won't treat you lightly. If you do well and make no mistakes, each person will be given fifty cash as wages. If you cheat or do not do well, you will be paid from the beginning." Deducted from wages."

This price was found by Li Xianyun when she left the palace several times before. It is considered to be the highest among the wages.

When everyone heard about fifty cents, everyone smiled.

This job is easy and you can earn more money, how can you be unhappy?
Li Xianyun said to the several strong men working in the drying room: "You will be relatively tired working in the drying room. Each of you will be rewarded with an additional ten cents."

The men were very happy when they heard this and said with a smile: "Thank you, sir."

"Come with me, and I'll teach you how to arrange the grapes neatly and orderly on the wooden shelf."

Li Xianyun said and brought several strong men to the drying room with Bater.

She pointed to a wooden shelf on which grapes were hung and said:

"When you arrange the grapes, start from the top. Place each bunch of grapes firmly and not sparsely, as they will fall off in a few days. And don't leave any gaps between each bunch of grapes, but place them close to each other."

Because the money was given, these strong men listened carefully and were very motivated.

After Li Xianyun arranged everything, the villagers who got the news came one after another pulling carts.

Many of these villagers came together as a family, and soon a lot of people gathered here.

Adults and children spoke to each other, and the open space soon became lively.

However, Habu has high prestige and strong ability, and arranged the team in an orderly manner without any chaos.

On the cart of the leader of the villagers were placed five large baskets of shiny green grapes.

Habu guided the man to the place where the quality of the grapes was checked for inspection.

The two strong men turned over the grape basket and said, "The grapes are fresh and there is no problem."

Then we move on to the next step - weighing.

The total is 150 kilograms. Excluding the weight of the five baskets, which weigh ten kilograms, the net weight of the grapes is 140 kilograms, which costs three pennies per kilogram, for a total of 420 pennies. (Author's remarks: The previous chapter has been revised, changing five cents per catty to three cents per catty)
When the villager heard this, he immediately smiled.

The purchase price of these grapes was a penny higher than the market price, and the grapes themselves could not be sold, and they were rotten on the grape trellis. Now they are actually sold, and for a lot of money, which makes me feel happy. .

Zhuoma greeted the villager: "Come, come here to settle the bill."

The villager walked over with a smile.

After Zhuoma finished recording, Youlan counted the money in front of the villager.

In Khitan, every 160 taels of coins were worn in a string. Youlan gave the villagers two taels of coins and 96 copper coins.

The villager held the heavy amount of money and was so excited that he could not speak and his eyes were red.When Li Xianyun left the palace, in addition to bringing a lot of money, she also brought a lot of money bags to provide money for the villagers.

It would be bad if the villagers lost a few of the scattered money, and if they didn't give enough money, it would be bad to get involved in disputes over this little money.

The most important thing is that it will take a lot of time.

It is not easy for her to leave the palace, and she cannot spend her time dealing with the lawsuit.

Li Xianyun thinks clearly about every detail in everything she does, so she can always avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Youlan took a brand new white money bag, looked at the villager and smiled: "I counted this money in front of you, is that okay?"

The villager grinned and said, "No problem, no problem."

Youlan opened the money bag and said, "You can put the money in this money bag to avoid losing it."

The villager didn't expect that the other party not only gave money, but also made such thoughtful preparations. He smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

He said and put the two pennies and the copper plate in.

Youlan handed him the money bag and smiled and said: "If you are worried, you can pass the money next to you. If you ask for less money after leaving this place, we will not recognize it."

The man smiled and said: "No need to count, you helped us solve the unsalable grapes and helped us a lot. How can we extort your money?"

The man said and walked away with a smile.

Li Xianyun stood aside and watched every step, and would correct problems promptly if she found them.

Once familiar with the process, I soon became more comfortable in all aspects and the speed was much faster.

Battelle, standing one step behind Li Xianyun, looked at these simple villagers and couldn't help but sigh: "These villagers are really simple."

Li Xianyun smiled and said: "Most of the villagers are good, but there is no guarantee that there will be some villagers with evil intentions. It is said that unruly people come out of poor mountains and rivers. Some people live too hard, and evil thoughts come out. Of course, there are also Many people are bad themselves.”

Battle looked at the simple villagers in front of him and said with some disbelief: "No way."

Li Xianyun turned her head and glanced at Battelle and said with a smile: "Look, soon the gangsters and lazy people in the village will come after smelling the smell. We will be busy later."

Bartel said: "Yes."

Although he said this, he still didn't believe it in his heart.

Sawuti, who was leaning on a stone to enjoy the shade under the mulberry tree at the head of the village, saw two villagers passing by happily holding money bags.

He was already drowsy, but suddenly he became energetic. He straightened up and looked at the two bulging money bags with bright eyes.

When the two villagers saw this, they suppressed their expressions of joy, hid their money bags behind their backs, and accelerated their pace a lot.

Upon seeing this, Shawuti suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed in front of the two people.

The two men quickly took a step back to avoid him.

Sawuti was a well-known lazy man and scoundrel from all over the country. He was born thin and small, and specialized in sneaking around.

A villager said displeasedly: "You want to rob me in public in public?"

Sawuti smiled and said, "I'm that kind of person. I just want to ask you where you got the money?"

 Thank you baby for your monthly vote, thank you little cutie, I love you, okay, okay, okay, okay~

  Thank you to all the cuties for reading, commenting and voting. I love you all~
