This is a practice that our ancestors have explored for thousands of years. It's definitely delicious, and it's definitely not worrying about selling it.
After taking a few bites, Old Man Min said directly, "Little girl, how much did you bring, I'll take it all!"
Gu Xiaowan seemed to have expected Old Man Min to make such a decision, but she remained calm.
After taking the dried bamboo shoots off the car, the old man said, "Girl, I want all of your dried bamboo shoots! I'll give you eighty cents a pound, what do you think?"
Gu Xiaowan secretly weighed it. Eighty cents per pound should be considered quite high. However, Gu Xiaowan saw that the old man Min offered such a high price as soon as he opened his mouth, and it seemed that there was still more to talk about. So, Gu Xiaowan kept her head down, feeling that the price seemed a little low: "Old uncle, I need about three pounds of wet bamboo shoots to make a pound of dried bamboo shoots. You must know that during this time, bamboo shoots were in town. It is very popular, and the price is not low. Wet bamboo shoots generally cost forty or fifty cents, and my three catties of wet bamboo shoots cost more than one hundred copper coins. Moreover, there are many processes to make dry bamboo shoots. All that's spent here is money and time!"
Gu Xiaowan's words were very clear and thorough, and when old man Min heard it, he also understood.
Old Man Min thought for a while, slammed his mouth again, and said, "Okay! Otherwise, it's a hundred cents a pound!"
Gu Xiaowan listened and said, "One hundred and twenty letters!"
After hearing this, the old man Min refused, feeling that the price was a bit high, but he was still thinking about it in his heart, and he was still a little hesitant.
Gu Xiaowan saw Old Man Min's loosening, and continued to persuade: "Old uncle, this dried bamboo shoot is a rare item. This dried bamboo shoot has never appeared in Liujiazhen before, so you must know better than me. Moreover, this dried bamboo shoot you just did. After tasting a few pieces, you must know how it tastes. Old man, don't think it's too expensive, I'll charge you 120 cents, and you must sell it for 150 cents, which is more than enough, it's easy!"
Old Man Min had been in business for so many years, so he naturally knew what Gu Xiaowan meant. He thought for a moment, then took another puff of his cigarette and made up his mind: "Deal!"
When Gu Xiaowan talked about business like this, Aunt Zhang and Shishi were stunned for a while. They paid 80 cents a pound just now. However, according to their thinking, the price was already very high for these 80 cents a pound. I was excited, and the price suddenly soared to one hundred and twenty cents.
The two were excited for a while. In a rush to get the bamboo shoots to the scale.
Gu Xiaowan didn't step forward to help, but chatted with old man Min: "Uncle, my bamboo shoots are very dry. If you want to eat them, you must soak them in water, soak them, and then burn them!"
"Besides braised pork, what else can I cook?"
"You can make soup! Dried bamboo shoots and old duck soup, it tastes very good!" Gu Xiaowan suggested.
When the old man heard this, he secretly had an idea in his heart: "The bamboo shoots taste really good. Otherwise, you can go back and get some more quickly. If I sell well, I will pay you more! What do you think?"
Gu Xiaowan's expression was still very calm, but she nodded with a smile: "Okay, old uncle, it's a deal! However, recently, old uncle, you can only accept dried bamboo shoots from my family, and I will provide you with timely supplies. Goods, don't accept other people's goods!"
As soon as the bamboo shoots came out and the price was so high, other people would definitely imitate them. If every household were to sell dried bamboo shoots, the price of the dried bamboo shoots would not be able to come up. Gu Xiaowan knew this, and so did Old Man Min. This truth.
"It's a promise! You have to speed up your speed. The first one is the best!" Old Man Min said seriously, looking at the dried bamboo shoots in the basket, he was very excited. This bamboo shoot has never appeared in Liujia Town, and it can be regarded as the first one for him.
If it sells well, the shot will be fired.
After weighing and giving the money, Aunt Zhang carefully put it away, wrapped it in a cloth and put it in her arms. After Gu Xiaowan said goodbye to Old Man Min, she left.
Sitting on the ox cart, Gu Xiaowan distributed the snacks that she had just bought for Gu Ning'an to Aunt Zhang and Shi Shi, and the three of them ate while on their way.
Aunt Zhang was still a little excited: "Girl Wan, this... this can really make money!"
Aunt Zhang still can't believe it, this bosom is wrapped in a thick cloth, and there are dozens of taels of silver in it! If it wasn't for Gu Xiaowan, they really wouldn't be able to earn this money.
"Of course! Aunt Zhang, isn't this silver in your arms? Why, you still don't believe it?" Gu Xiaowan joked.
"Girl Wan, don't make fun of you Aunt Zhang, I really can't believe it!" Aunt Zhang was a little embarrassed and smiled: "This bamboo shoot is so valuable, why didn't we know it before! Girl Wan, it's still yours Lots of ideas."
"Aunt Zhang, it's not that I have a lot of ideas, it's that the family needs money. There is no other way but to figure out how to make money!" Gu Xiaowan did not continue the topic just now, but changed the topic and talked about other things.
As soon as she said this, Aunt Zhang also sighed, and naturally understood what Gu Xiaowan meant.
"Xiao Wan, mother, let's dig more bamboo shoots when we go back!" Shi Shi said, driving the car in front.
"Of course!" Aunt Zhang knew that dried bamboo shoots could sell for money, so she would naturally make more money. Thinking of the money in her arms, how to divide it, Aunt Zhang has already thought about it.
The ox cart first came to Gu Xiaowan's house and delivered it to Gu Xiaowan. Gu Ningping and Gu Xiaoyi were not at home. The baskets and tools at home were not there. They probably went up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots.
The stone also jumped down, picked up the basket and hoe, and ran up the bamboo mountain.
Everyone, we haven't eaten yet, Gu Xiaowan intends to leave Aunt Zhang and the others after they have eaten.
Aunt Zhang didn't leave either, but stayed, but not in a hurry to follow Gu Xiaowan to the kitchen, but dragged Gu Xiaowan into the big house, closed the door, and took out the small cloth bag from her arms. Seeing Aunt Zhang's cautious appearance, Gu Xiaowan naturally knew what Aunt Zhang wanted to do.
Aunt Zhang took out the cloth bag, opened it layer by layer from left to right, and then spread it out on the table. Gu Xiaowan glanced at it and found that she had more than fifty taels of silver. It seems that this time the income is not bad. Gu Xiaowan made up her mind that she would dig up bamboo shoots after dinner later, and she might make a lot of money during the whole spring bamboo shoot season.
