Chapter 182
Chu Ci divided them into several groups, gave them a basket one group, and asked them to go to the competition. Chu Ci himself found a tree to sit under him, watching the group of people jump up and down like monkeys.
The capital is located in the north and there are not as many fruits as in the south. This cherry is quite precious. It is said that in the previous dynasty, cherries were still tribute fruits. Later, the founding days of the Great Wei Dynasty, they planted cherry trees in large quantities, saying that they wanted to make the people all over the world able to do it.
After eating, this move also won the favor of most people at that time.
Chu Ci took out a string from the basket next to him, washed it in a small wooden bucket, and stuffed it into his mouth. Well, the cherry tasted sour and sweet, and the taste was really good.
"Chu Siye, how can you do this!" His actions were despised by a group of people.
Chu Ci looked at them, then looked at the basket beside him, and then realized that he had taken it from their basket.
"What's wrong with Chu Siye eating some fruits you picked? This is so stingy! Chu Siye, you can eat them vigorously, don't save us face."
Zhu Mingyue said this, it would be even better if he could not move the basket he had formed away from Chu Ci while saying that.
When the other groups saw his appearance, they despised him and followed suit. In an instant, there was only a small wooden barrel left beside Chu Ci.
"This group of bastards! Forget it, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing." Chu Ci shook his head, stood up helplessly, and joined the cherry picking team.
"Dangdangdang--"
After the bell for get out of class rang, a group of people were still unsatisfied. They never felt that the time for class had passed so quickly as today.
"Chu Siye, pick it for a while? There are still many on the trees!"
"Don't leave some for others to pick. Our fruit picking activity ends here. We will sell the cherries in the afternoon, so you can have some full food for me at noon."
Chu Ci's light words aroused the curiosity of these students again, and they could only buy things.
Some people also raised questions: these scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are at the end of the day. How can they go to business as the Imperial College Supervisor?
"You are wrong. You rely on businessmen to support your family. This is what merchants do. What we do is called social practice activities. In the future, you will work in various departments of the court. People's livelihood is what you need to pay attention to, and you can't speak in full.
Empty talk, making a joke about one or two silver dollars." Chu Ci remembered those records in unofficial history that Emperor Guangxu had eaten four or one egg, and thought it was much cheaper than the Qianlong period, so he couldn't help but be the * of the Qing government at that time
*And it hurts.
Although the recorded methods may be a bit exaggerated, their prices are several times or even dozens of times higher than ordinary people, which is normal.
"Why is an egg so expensive? I've seen my mother settle the scores, and it's clearly written on it with twenty words."
"No, my family remembers it's a twenty-five-word!"
"Not right, one thirty-month."
Everyone was a little surprised to see these students arguing endlessly. Why are the eggs in each company different?
Chu Ci noticed that Gu Xu looked at everyone with a slight desire to speak, so he let him speak.
Gu Xu stood up and said, "The student has been poor since childhood. He has tried to go to the vegetable market with his mother. The eggs there are two cents a year of disaster, and two cents a year of good harvests. Ordinary people still think it is a bit expensive, and they are not often on weekdays.
edible."
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, two or three cents? Then why are their eggs so expensive?
"Is there a difference between chickens? Just like a horse, can a pony born from a good horse be the same as a pony born from a bad horse?" Someone thought this way, and it was recognized by most people.
Chu Ci smiled and you will know when he went to sell things later. What are the best chickens and bad chickens? In ancient times, there were no quick-growing chickens that grew up eating feed. What is the difference between eggs?
After lunch, they sat in the canteen for a while. Chu Ci observed that several students sneaked out of the canteen and came back soon. Looking at their wet hands, Chu Ci smiled.
, quite sophisticated.
"Okay, I've had enough rest. Let's go sell cherries. I'll carry the cherries I've formed by myself."
At this time, everyone lifted their cherries out and suddenly found that there was a group of cherries different from everyone. Although their cherries looked red, they had no luster. The charming bitch in front of them was different, red and moist, and moist.
There are crystal clear water droplets on it, which is so attractive.
"Chu Siye, they cheat!" The other groups shouted. Although they had never sold anything, they had bought it. If they saw such cherries, they would definitely buy it.
"What cheat?" Chu Ci knocked the head of Zhu Mingyue, who was calling the most beloved next to him, "I am considerate and firmly grasp the buyer's mind. Not to mention that they are more skilled, but to say that they are cheating, are they wronged or not?
!”
The scolding made these little boys lower their heads. They also wanted to get water, but it was too late.
"Let's go, learn from the lesson this time, and strive to be more refined next time."
A group of people carried or moved the seven baskets of cherries outside the Imperial College. Walking one or two miles further forward is a street where there will be more people.
They felt dry mouth and tongue in the hot summer and carried heavy cherries.
The more Zhu Ming was, the more he walked, the more thirsty he became. He reached into the basket to eat cherries. As a result, as soon as he reached in, Jiang Xian slapped it in his hand.
"Silo, what are you doing?!"
"You can't eat it, so keep it for money." After the last incident, Jiang Xian obeyed Chu Ci's words, and naturally he did not allow others to violate them.
"I'll just eat a bunch!"
"Not even one, don't you want to lose weight? Have you forgotten how he hung on a tree last time?" Wu Guang said, then walked to Zhu Mingyue, protected the cherries in the basket, and prevented him from taking them.
Zhu Mingyue walked forward angrily, not wanting to pay attention to them anymore.
A large group of people came to the street entrance and hid under an eaves, and instantly felt much cooler.
"It's half past noon now, I'll come to see it. Then I'll see which group sells the most." Chu Ci didn't teach them how to sell or how to set prices. After that, he went to a nearby teahouse and found it.
A elegant seat starts to have a leisurely moment of drinking tea while listening to the storytelling.
The students were stunned. Are they squatting here? How should they sell it? At this time, Gu Xu, who had some experience, seemed very valuable.
Everyone gathered around and called him "squad leader" flatteringly, hoping that he could come up with some ideas.
Gu Xu has always been treated as a transparent person by them, and the prestige of the squad leader cannot be reflected in a slightest bit. Today, he was suddenly valued, which made him a little flattered.
He recalled how the people who sold things were like, and then told them the key points. People like this who sold cherries usually took a scoop of water, which looked like a scoop of about fifteen to twenty cents.
"So cheap? No, I don't sell it so cheaply. This is what I have worked hard to pick!"
Of course, let’s not mention the price for now, where the water scoop comes from is a question. Also, what should I use to put it for others?
Someone suggested to go to a nearby shop to buy some bowls and plates. But it was quickly rejected. I don’t know how much this thing can be sold, so I spent it on buying the bowl first, not to mention that they usually do it.
The Imperial College does not need money at all, so how can I get so much money for the moment?
Everyone is worried. Some people say that they saw a large lotus pond before, and the lotus leaves there might be used as utensils for cherries.
This statement was unanimously recognized by everyone, so a group of five people divided into several groups, two went to pick lotus leaves, two looked at cherries, and one went to the nearby home to see if we could borrow a scoop of water.
Zhu Feng and his team did not dare to let Zhu Mingyue look at the stall, so they sent him to borrow water scoops. Then Wu Guang and Zhao Qing looked at the cherries, and Zhu Feng and Jiang Xian went to pick lotus leaves.
The group of people sneaked to the lotus pond, looking at the endless green lotus leaves, and were very happy, and stood by the side and picked them.
When everyone had a pile of people on their hands, a dog barking suddenly came from a distance, and an old man screamed fiercely, saying that he wanted to take them to meet the officials.
In panic, a group of people ran away desperately, and they still hugged the lotus leaves tightly in their hands.
It is very easy for people to borrow water scoops. Most people will lend the water scoops to them for use when they see a handsome and cute boy. Zhu Mingyue not only borrowed water scoops, but also drank a big bowl of green beans at their home.
Soup.
After everything is ready, the time is coming. A group of people are huddled under the eaves and stare at the passers-by with eager eyes.
The people who were staring faster, and after a long time, a girl of seven or eight years old came. She held a purse, looked left and right, and squatted in front of Gu Xu's stall, and was the only one that had spilled water.
The one.
"Little brother, how do you sell this cherry?" the little girl stared at Gu Xu and asked with a smile.
Sun Jiang from Gu Xu's group hurriedly squeezed into the front and said, "One tael of silver and one scoop!"
The little girl glanced at him: "Are you robbing money? I didn't ask you!" She looked at Gu Xu again and waited for his answer with a smile. Sun Jiang was so angry that he jumped straight into his feet.
"Ten...eighteen entries per puddle." Although Gu Xu's experience is more than them, he has never done this before, and it is still a bit cramped.
"It's a little expensive, but your cherries are good, so let's have a jug." The little girl took out 18 cents and put them in front of Gu Xu.
Gu Xu took out a large lotus leaf and scooped a large scoop of cherries with a scoop of water. After thinking about it, he still couldn't wipe the out of it back and gave it to the little girl. There were a pile of bright red cherries on the green tray.
, causing people to experience diarrhea.
"Thank you, little brother." The little girl picked up one and put it in her mouth, and walked happily with the lotus leaves.
Everyone felt itchy when they saw Gu Xu selling for money, and their eyes looked at passers-by even more enthusiastic.
Soon, another old woman came. She stopped in front of the stall for a long time, and finally compared the shops and went to Gu Xu's stall again. The old woman told me a little price, at a price of fifteen cents per scoop.
I bought two scoops.
Everyone realized in despair that they could not sell their things next to Gu Xu. After that, everyone scattered and found a place to sell their cherries.
Taking advantage of this time, Chu Ci, who was sitting in a restaurant and listening to books, also took the opportunity to negotiate a business. He spent a lot of money during this period. He spent some money on the money he had brought before, and his monthly salary for the past two months was also
It was all spent. He happened to listen to the storytelling here today, so he decided to provide them with articles and enrich his wallet.
The shopkeeper didn't believe him very much. After hearing him tell a story he had never heard of before, he decided to try it out for a few days.
After Shen Shi arrived, Chu Ci came down to check everyone's situation. The baskets were empty and looked pretty good.
Chu Ci took out an empty small basket and asked everyone to count the money they earned and pour it into the basket. After careful counting, Gu Xu's group won with absolute strength.
Chu Ci took their group and bought a lot of food with the money they earned, and sent it to the Tzu Chia House together.
...
The next morning court, the censor participated in the report, and Chu Ci, the Imperial College, led the students to do their jobs without doing their jobs, and to do their jobs with low jobs, which would be insulting their courtesy and should be severely punished.
The emperor was very strange, but he was soft-educated. He touched the tangerine peel pills on his waist, and then said, "Imperial College Chu Ci immediately went to court to defend himself."
