Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 243: Raising prices while sitting on the ground

“I have a lot of sticks at home, hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. I have as much as you want to buy.”

Du Shi rolled his eyes and changed the subject, "However, we have to talk carefully about the price."

 The first time I went to buy stick grains, Du Shi’s price was one penny and two and a half catties. The second time I bought it, Du Shi’s price was one penny, two catties and two liang.

Su Mulan calculated at that time that it was okay to pay one penny and two catties and two taels, but he didn't like Du's raising prices on the ground, so he also made a few remarks at the time.

This time, Du's is going to increase the price again.

Su Mulan was murmuring in her heart, wondering what price Du Shi would charge this time, and how much popcorn she should buy.

“What price are you going to charge for these stick pellets this time?” Su Mulan asked.

"After all, I have been doing business before. I don't ask you for more." Du Shi stretched out her hand, slapped her fingers, and said, "Five cents per catty."

 Five cents…

 One pound?

Su Mulan himself was a little confused.

Bai Shuiliu on the side was even more wide-eyed.

Bai Yuzhu was drinking water from a bamboo tube. When he heard what Du said, he choked on the water. He coughed for a long time before he recovered. He said with a face that was red from coughing, "What the hell?" ?”

"A pound of stick grains costs five cents? In this county, rice only costs a penny a pound. Good fragrant rice only costs two pennies a pound. White flour costs one penny for one and a half pounds. You stick grains cost a pound. It costs five cents. Is your stick rimmed with silver? Why is it so expensive?"

Mrs. Du felt that the price she was asking was reasonable, and she was just waiting for Su Mulan to nod, but Su Mulan didn't say anything. A driver said something to her hurriedly, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

“You don’t care why I sell it so expensively, you didn’t buy it, what does it have to do with you, the owner hasn’t said anything yet!”

Du Shi shouted, "You think it's expensive because you don't know the benefits of this stick grain. You don't understand anything, so don't make any nonsense here."

“Then tell me, what are the benefits of your stick grains, and why are they sold so expensive?” Su Mulan asked.

"It's now, so don't pretend to be confused because you understand." Du Shi's mouth was full of sneers, "I have found out clearly. Your popcorn is made from sticks. This stick There are popcorn everywhere. If you only buy my sticks, that means only my sticks can make your popcorn."

"For this pound of popcorn, you have to make seven or eight scoops of popcorn. If you pay a penny a scoop, these seven or eight scoops are seven or eight cents. Two kilograms of popcorn is worth more than ten cents. If you pay ten cents, How many times?"

"As for this person, business can't be so shady. If you have money, everyone can make it. Since my stick is so special and you have made so much money, you can't monopolize this profitable business by yourself. What can you say? You have to let me drink some soup too.”

“I’ve also settled the accounts for you. I only charge you five cents for this pound of stick grains. You can still make half of it, but I can’t lose anything to you. What do you think?”

As soon as Du Shi said these words, Bai Shuiliu turned pale with anger.

The sticks are cheap, and the popcorn is expensive, but the popcorn requires oil and sugar, especially white sugar, which is used to fry a pot of popcorn. .
