Chapter 9 Tomatoes at the Township Fair

the next morning.

After Li Youran got up, she went to the farm land and took a look. The eggplants were already blooming.

It is lavender and blooms all over the plant, which is very beautiful.

After reading it, I took a tomato and started to eat it. I ate one tomato for breakfast today.

The taste is very good!

Li Youran has never eaten such delicious tomatoes before.

"Woof woof!"

"Meow!"

Rhubarb and Xiaohui also wanted to eat, and Li Youran gave one to each other.

Both guys are not picky about food, they eat meat, vegetarian dishes, rice, pasta and other things. Basically, they eat whatever Li Youran eats.

This made Li Youran very happy.

After eating the tomatoes, Li Youran looked at the remaining twenty tomatoes in the basket and wondered whether he should sell them in the market?

After hesitating for a moment, I decided to sell it.

Today he is no longer as worried about meeting the three-eyed wind wolf as he was yesterday.

He is very brave to dare to live alone in the mountains.

Moreover, he now has an animal trap, which makes him even more courageous.

It's still the same old rules, put on your boots, take a long wooden stick, put tomatoes on your back, and then bring in rhubarb and small ash.

Set off.

Li Youran has to go a little further today. He wants to sell at the rural market.

Today is the township market.

Yunxi Village is under the jurisdiction of Changle Township. There is a 10-kilometer journey from Yunxi Village to Changle Township.

In the past, it was all a mountain road, going over mountains and ridges, so it was not easy to go to the township market.

Now that roads have been built, it is easier to go to the rural market.

Of course, the road is not wide and can barely pass a small car. But for motorcycles and tricycles, it can run very comfortably.

The villagers are already very satisfied.

After all, no one has a car, the most they have is motorcycles and tricycles.

Such a wide road is enough.

There were no surprises all the way to the village. From the village to the Changle Township Market, there would be no danger if we took the highway.

Walk out of the village entrance, step on the road to Changle Township Market, and continue your journey.

Li Youran doesn't have a motorcycle, so he can only walk.

It's 10 kilometers. If you walk faster, you'll arrive in a little over an hour, which is not a long time.

In the past, when there was no highway, it would take two or three hours to walk. Wouldn't it be the same as walking?

As I was walking, I heard the sound of a motorcycle behind me.

Soon, the motorcycle stopped next to Li Youran, "Youran, are you going to the countryside?"

It’s Li Haichi, a villager in the village.

Li Youran nodded and said: "Yes, Uncle Haichi, go sell some tomatoes."

Li Haichi looked into Li Youran's back and said with emotion: "Youran, your vegetable growing skills are very high! I heard yesterday that the cucumbers you grow are very beautiful and delicious. Now look at these of yours

Tomatoes are also very beautiful!”

Li Youran smiled and said: "Maybe it's because the soil in my land is of good quality."

Li Haichi said: "Maybe so. Come on, I'll give you a ride and I'll go to the countryside too."

Li Youran hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble Uncle Haichi."

Li Haichi also smiled and said, "Why are you so polite?"

"Dahuang, Xiaohui, let's go, take the car." He greeted Dahuang and Xiaohui to get on the bus together.

Big Yellow "woofs" and Little Gray "meows". Both guys are very excited about riding in the car.

Ten minutes later, we arrived at the Changle Township Market.

Li Youran got out of the car, packed two tomatoes and gave them to Li Haichi, saying: "Uncle Haichi, I'll give you two tomatoes, take them back and try them."

Li Haichi didn't want to take it, but looking at the red tomatoes, he thought they were very delicious.

Then he laughed and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome."

Li Youran smiled and said: "You shouldn't be polite at all."

After collecting the tomatoes, Li Haichi drove away on his motorcycle.

Li Youran carried tomatoes on his back and prepared to find a place to set up a stall.

There is a street here, which is quite long, almost more than a mile. Both sides of the street are quite quaint houses and other buildings.

There are no high-rise buildings, only three-story wooden lofts at most.

Normally, there are not many people on the street. But during the market, it is quite lively.

Every time there is a market, villagers from nearby villages come to the market.

Come to buy something, or come to sell something. You can sell some home-grown vegetables, or raise chickens, ducks, rabbits and other poultry, as well as fish.

There is a gathering every three days.

Today is the market day. This is why Li Youran came here to sell tomatoes.

There is a vegetable market on the street that sells vegetables together. People usually go there to set up stalls and sell vegetables.

Li Youran also went to the vegetable market, found a place, and put out the tomatoes.

As soon as it was put on display, it quickly attracted the attention of people around it.

These tomatoes are really attractive, and it’s hard not to notice them.

"Isn't this tomato so pretty? I've never seen such a pretty tomato before." A lady said with emotion.

"Young man, did you grow all these tomatoes yourself?" an uncle asked.

"These tomatoes look very delicious. Boy, how do you sell these tomatoes?" asked an uncle.

Li Youran smiled slightly and said, "I grew it myself. It costs three yuan a pound."

Other tomatoes in the market generally sell for two yuan a pound. But Li Youran believes that his tomatoes should be sold more expensive.

This is not the Yunxi Market in Murakami. If the food should be sold more expensively, it will naturally be sold more expensively.

This is a rural market. If you go to the city to sell it, it will definitely be more expensive.

The nearest city is Izumo Castle, which is a bit far away, more than 100 kilometers away.

Do you want to go to Izumo City to sell vegetables? Li Youran decided to wait and see. After all, it was too far.

"They cost one yuan a pound more than other tomatoes. However, these tomatoes are indeed better. Boy, weigh two for me and I'll take them back to taste." The uncle just said.

"Okay." Li Youran agreed happily.

It seems that if the price is a bit more expensive, everyone can still accept it.

A successful sale, no matter how big or small, always makes people happy.

I weighed two tomatoes, one pound and five taels. The tomatoes are very big, so one weighs half a pound.

One pound and five taels is exactly four yuan and five cents.

The uncle paid the money, took the tomato, and said, "Young man, I'll take it back and taste it. If it tastes good, I'll buy it from you in the future."

Li Youran smiled and said: "Okay. These tomatoes must be delicious and you won't be disappointed."

The uncle nodded and left carrying the tomatoes.

After hesitating for a while, an old man said, "Young man, please weigh me one too."

"Okay, no problem." Li Youran agreed and weighed one, seven taels.

Two yuan and ten cents, I received two yuan from the uncle, and the uncle was very happy.

Then, more people started to buy one or two.

The number of transactions continues to increase.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully mastering the merchant skill. After mastering this skill, the host will have a chance to obtain entertainment products from the earth, as well as special items, farm points, etc. when selling vegetables in the future."

Li Youran was immediately pleasantly surprised.
