Chapter 130 Chinese cabbage, which is more expensive than meat

"It's sold cabbage! Fresh cabbage!"

With this sound of shouting, the people on the street looked in the direction where the sound came, and naturally fell on Wang Degong's ox cart. He had already sold a few cabbages, but he had long lost his initial nervousness.

"Da cabbage?...what?"

"Baicai?Cache?"

"How come this cabbage looks like?"

"It looks weird, but it looks quite fresh..."

...

Although few people have seen this kind of cabbage that holds stems like a big watermelon, people who were originally friendly to the green in the snow and ice, immediately became interested in cabbage. Although they had never seen cabbage before, they could not hold back their curiosity.

"Hey, man, how do you sell this cabbage?"

A middle-aged man asked.

"Three, three cents per pound."

Wang Degong immediately spoke back.

"Three cents?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned at first, and then said in surprise.

"What is the price of a pound of meat? It's just a dozen cents, and how many cents are chickens and ducks? What kind of cabbage is sold for three cents. This is enough to catch up with the price of chicken..."

Some people think it’s expensive here, but some people think it’s not expensive.

"Sanwen is not expensive. So, I'll give me two."

A middle-aged man wearing a gray cloth cotton jacket said.

"Two trees... eleven pounds and six ounces, take one zero, count eleven pounds..."

“Thirty-three folks,”

The middle-aged man settled the accounts for him.

The person who thought it was expensive shook his head and opened his eyes wide.

"It costs more than 30 cents, and you can eat a few bites of food. This is almost up to the price of meat."

"Hey, don't think it's expensive. Let me tell you, what kind of cabbage tastes, I don't know, but I know that the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital are not many of the cellars to cultivate vegetables with horse manure. The leaves in the cellars are tender yellow, called yellow sprouts. In our capital, how many people who are not wealthy families can eat such dishes in winter..."

The man patted the cabbage in his hand and laughed.

"It would be worth it if we spent more than 30 cents to eat the dishes eaten by noble people! If it weren't for this brother, how cold the weather would be, you could have eaten this dish?"

There are so many things to pay attention to when eating vegetables?

Just as Wang Degong was standing there listening to the man showing his knowledge, the shopkeeper of the restaurant next to him came out.

"Hey, man, your dish looks quite fresh, can you put it?"

"When the shopkeeper put it, this cabbage is different from ordinary cabbage. If you buy it, put it in an empty place in the house and pile it up. Each floor is separated by sorghum stalks. It will be fresh every few months. If there is a cellar, it can be stored in the cellar for several months."

The shopkeeper's eyes lit up slightly when he heard this. He walked to the ox cart, thought it, took out a small piece of silver, and pointed at the remaining cabbage on the cart.

"Since that's the case, I'll want all of these!"

The man who was originally thinking it was expensive immediately became anxious when he heard this.

"Man, you have to give me one first, after all, I came first!"

This car can only hold about one thousand pounds, which is less than two hundred. I just bought dozens of them by the road, and the remaining one is only about one hundred. After the shopkeeper paid the money, he naturally had to help the shopkeeper take the cabbage into the restaurant and help him put the dishes in the car.

When leaving the restaurant, Wang Degong, who was carrying hundreds of cents and a few taels of silver, was still a little dazed. He thought he might not be able to sell it, but he didn't expect it to be sold out so soon.

Carrying the heavy silver, while thinking about buying cloth, a young man came over and asked.

"Brother, your cabbage is sold out. Will you still come here to sell it tomorrow?"

"Sell, sell, come here early tomorrow morning."

Looking at the young man in front of him who was wearing a leather hat and a leather jacket, he saw that he was not an ordinary person, Wang Degong smiled silly.

"How can you not sell it? There are still tens of thousands of kilograms left in the cellar at home? Can you not sell it?"

"Ten thousand pounds!"

When the man heard this, he immediately opened his eyes wide and said.

"Put it in the cellar, do you mean that these cabbages can be kept in the cellar for a while, right?"

"The boss said that the cabbage can be kept in the cellar for at least four or five months..."

"Can you last for that long!"

The young man opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at the empty ox cart, and said,

"I'm not sure today. I'm like this. Now it's still early. You'll send a cart of cabbage to the Zhang Mansion of Dashamao Hutong. The old lady likes to eat some fresh vegetables. The ready-made ones in the mansion have a cellar. This is a three-liang of silver as the cost of the vegetable. At that time, you'll just say it was sent by the Liu Mansion."

That's OK?

Looking at the young master in surprise, Wang Degong looked disbelief and was not convinced. Isn’t this man afraid of running away?

However, the rich young master was not worried at all. He confirmed the address again before turning around and leaving.

More than an hour later, nearly lunch, Wang Degong, who was driving the ox cart, returned home excitedly with the newly bought flower cloth and meat.

Seeing that the girls were cooking, he immediately shouted.

"Don't cook at noon today. Let's eat roast duck from Jinling. I heard that the emperor eats this. I went to Bianyifang to buy it..."

"His father, what's wrong with you?"

Before his wife could finish her words, Wang Degong poured out the money in his pocket.

Hurry!

A big push of copper coins made a sound on the table, making Wang Degong laugh.

"Xiao Xi, look, our cabbage is sold! It's sold for several taels of silver."

Before, they only earned three or four taels of silver for farming. Today, they only earned the money back in half a day. How could he be unhappy?

"Don't worry about not being able to sell cabbage now, right?"

Seeing the woman's dumbfounded look, Wang Degong laughed.

"Did you see, this is a silver ingot, a full three taels of silver ingot. After I sold the dishes, others saw that our dishes were fresh and ordered the deposit to send me a car to their mansion in the afternoon. This thousand pounds can be sold for three taels of silver. How much cabbage can we have a month? If we say less, it will have to be more than 100,000 pounds... Be good, it's a fortune, Xiaoxi, let's live a comfortable life in the future. After spring, our family will also build a big blue brick house. Then we will buy two maids to serve you..."

Once a person has money, he will immediately express his ideal that he felt was out of reach in his heart. While Wang Degong was talking about his ideal, he tore a roast duck leg out of the oil-paper bag and handed it to his wife who had not yet recovered.

"Damn, eating roast duck, the emperor also ate this roast duck, it's so delicious..."

At the same time, he muttered to his two sons beside him.

"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you eat meat quickly? Our family will live a good life in the future!"

At this moment, his smile froze on his face. He saw his neighbor Sun Yuanmao looking at him in surprise... looking at the silver and copper coins on his table.

After being stunned for a while, Sun Yuanmao said.

"Wang, Brother Wang, you have sold all the cabbage!"
