The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

After the persimmons were sold, they were sold out.

Li and Gu Liang discussed that there were not many persimmons, only about 40, and they should be sold out. So regarding the price, Gu Liang planned to sell them at two cents each and five cents for three.

However, when they arrived at the market, everyone saw that the persimmons were still so hard that no one looked at them, let alone bought them.

When Gu Liang came back after selling the medicinal materials, Li's persimmons were still placed far away, and none of them were sold. Even if no one bought at other stalls, there were still a few people asking the price, but no one asked the price at Li's stall.

Li was a little embarrassed. When he sold ice jelly before, there were always people who had never seen it and came up to ask curiously, and he had business after a while. But this time, no one was interested, so she didn't even have the opportunity to sell.

Seeing that Second Aunt hadn't sold any of the persimmons, Gu Liang gave her a tip: cut a persimmon into small pieces and take them out for tasting. If others tasted the persimmons, they would naturally buy them. However, ideals are full of hope, but reality is cruel. Passersby didn't even have the courage to try the crisp persimmons, and quickly waved their hands to refuse.

Gu Liang had no choice but to use his ultimate move, and directly took a piece of oil paper and rolled it into a trumpet shape. He shouted, "Don't miss it if you pass by. The new variety and new flavor of persimmons from Beijing are sweet and crisp, and the experience is different from local persimmons. If you miss it, you will have to wait another year. There are free tastings now, first come first served."

Gu Liang shouted several times in a row, and sure enough, passersby heard the words "free" and "new flavor" and gathered around.

Li quickly gave each person who gathered around a piece. After tasting it, the crowd expressed their feelings:

"It's really good. There are persimmons that are hard and not astringent."

"Although these hard persimmons are not astringent and are somewhat sweet, they are still not as sweet as the ripe persimmons here."

"I like these crisp ones. Soft persimmons are soft and this tastes better."

"When I was working at the dock, I heard the boss from the north on the ship say that the persimmons in the north are crisp. I didn't expect to be able to eat them here today."

…………

"Boss, how much are these persimmons?" A young man in the crowd asked. His new wife likes to eat persimmons the most. Today, she happened to see some for sale, so she was going to buy a few to take back.

Li was waiting for this sentence, and quickly replied: "These persimmons are two cents each, four cents for two, and five cents for three. The more you buy, the cheaper it is."

After hearing the price, the young man took a deep breath and waved his hand and said he would not buy it. It was too expensive.

The onlookers also said that the persimmons were too expensive, saying: "Boss, you can't sell them as gold just because they are golden. Wait for more than a month, and I can buy a basket of local persimmons with these five cents!"

At this time, Gu Boxi, who had been standing behind the group, spoke: "Boss, give me one. It's okay to buy one of the things I haven't eaten. It's only two cents. Two cents won't make you poor or rich, so you might as well try it!"

When a group of people saw someone paying to buy, they felt that what the man said made sense. Although it was expensive to buy a persimmon for two cents, two cents was not much. What's the point of trying something new! So driven by Gu Boxi's herd effect, more than a dozen persimmons were sold at once, although they were all bought one by one. At this time, Gu Boxi and Gu Liang, who were standing in the distance, smiled at each other. It must be said that buying things still requires a supporter, and this is what you have to do when a new store opens.

At this time, there were more than 20 persimmons left, and there were fewer onlookers. However, after the first wave of people bought, the situation was much better than when no one was interested at the beginning. After a while, someone came to ask if this was a new variety of persimmon, and wanted to buy one.

The remaining persimmons had been picked by people, so Gu Liang and Li arranged the persimmons so that the better side faced the street.

Gu Liang was arranging them when he heard someone ask above his head: "Are these crisp persimmons?"

"Yes, crisp and sweet crisp persimmons, two cents each, three..." Gu Liang answered without raising his head, but before he finished speaking, he heard the person who asked said: "I want them all, pack them for me!"

In this way, all of Gu Liang's persimmons were sold out. He thought that these persimmons would be sold out, but he didn't expect them to be sold out so quickly.

After selling, Gu Liang felt very comfortable. He turned around to look at the second aunt, but found that Li closed her eyes and stroked her chest and took a deep breath. Gu Liang was puzzled. Shouldn't he be happy after selling the persimmons? Why did the third aunt look unnatural?

Gu Liang asked what was going on, and the third aunt said it was because she came to buy the last

The person who bought persimmons. It turned out that the person who bought persimmons was Xu Yuanwai, the richest man in Lianhua Town. When he was young, Xu Yuanwai served in the army and fought in wars. He became a small officer in the army because of his bravery. Later, he returned to his hometown and bought some land and some industries, and became the richest man in the local area.

The son of Xu Caizhu was a scholar and became an official in another place. Therefore, Xu Caizhu's family was rich and powerful in the local area, and no one dared to provoke him. What's more, Xu Caizhu had been on the battlefield and killed people, and his face was quite imposing. The ordinary people in Lianhua Town were even more frightened. When they met him, it was like a dog meeting a wolf, for fear that they would provoke their family.

After listening to Xu Caizhu's introduction, Gu Liang was somewhat yearning. With a little money and a little power, he stayed in a small place, no one dared to provoke him, and his life was plain but rich. This was exactly what he yearned for. It would be great if he could live such a life someday.

But it's not enough to just think about it, he still had to make money to buy food. Li and Gu Liang both thought that persimmons were easy to sell today. After returning home, they found a few wooden barrels and pottery jars and soaked some more persimmons, preparing to sell them in ten days or half a month.

This time, they soaked hundreds of persimmons at once, and it is estimated that they can earn a few hundred coins. Although it is not as much as the money Gu Liang earned from collecting herbs in the mountains, it can supplement the family expenses, and it is equivalent to giving the family another livelihood.

However, the soaked persimmons have not been sold for money this time, but someone came to ask for money.

The person who came to ask for money was none other than Li's sister-in-law Zhao. Zhao was also visiting Lianhua Village for the first time. She asked several villagers along the way and had someone take her to the door of Gu's house.

When the villagers arrived at the door of Gu's house, they shouted into the house: "Old man Gu, there are guests in your house, go out and meet them."

At this time, most of the people in Gu's family had gone out, and only Chen was left in the house spinning cloth. Chen went out to check, but found that he seemed to have never seen this person before.

Zhao saw that the person who went out was not her aunt Li Chunmei, so she guessed that it should be her aunt's sister-in-law Chen. So she went up to greet her in a friendly manner, introduced her family, and said that she came to see Li.

After Chen knew that this person was the sister-in-law of her natal family who had robbed Li's ice jelly business last time, she immediately felt that this person must be a weasel visiting a chicken to pay New Year's greetings - she had no good intentions. So she said coldly: "My sister-in-law is not at home, please come next time."

Zhao saw that Chen looked like she was keeping people away from her. She had never been treated like this in her husband's family, so she cursed a few words in her heart. But she really came here to ask for something from her second aunt this time, so she couldn't get angry, so she smiled again and said: "Sister-in-law, I'm not in a hurry today, I'll sit at the door and wait for my aunt!"

Chen saw that Zhao sat down at her main door and was unwilling to move, and she looked like she would not go back until she saw her. Chen had no choice but to ask Da Ni and Er Ni to inform grandpa and grandma and ask them to come back.
