168 Chapter 168: Selling Bean Sprouts Wholesale
Liu Xiaomei couldn’t resist squatting down and touching the bean sprouts covered with dew.
“Are these few baskets enough? Shall I go and get two more baskets?” Wang Xiaomei asked.
The bean sprouts had grown so well. She reckoned they could probably harvest more than 300 catties.
“No hurry. Let’s harvest first and see how it goes!”
!!
“The baskets are definitely not enough. We’ll have to move them back and forth to weigh them later,” Qin Xiaoyao replied.
Then, she called out to everyone to start harvesting the bean sprouts.
It was easy to harvest the bean sprouts, and a large bunch of them could be picked effortlessly.
They could even be placed neatly into the baskets.
The four women were quick with their hands and feet. It didn’t take long for them to fill up the four baskets.
Looking at the remaining bean sprout plots in the corner of the shed, Qin Xiaoyao asked everyone to stop.
“We’ll just leave these remaining plots.”
“When we want to eat bean sprouts, we can come and harvest them.”
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Big Girl Li.
“Big Girl, after we’re done, you can come over with your own bamboo baskets to pick them yourself. Also, give Aunt Sun two catties as well.”
Big Girl Li’s face lit up.
“Great! Thank you, Sister Sanya!” She quickly thanked Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled and turned to look at Wang Xiaomei.
“Go get another bamboo backpack and pluck four or five catties. I’ll let my big brother take it back with him later,” she said.
Big Brother had come to fetch water earlier and knew that the bean sprouts in her shed were ready for harvesting today.
He said that he would come back later to get 50 catties of bean sprouts and 10 pairs of straw sandals.
The Qin family had just experienced that incident with Madam Zhang, and they had to stock up on food. They needed money right now and were very willing to help Qin Xiaoyao sell these bean sprouts.
“Sure! I’ll go at once!” Wang Xiaomei hurriedly went off.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao leave the shed with the basket.
Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei carried another basket.
Before long, Qin Xiaoyao began to weigh and adjust the volume of bean sprouts in the basket.
At this moment, Qin Dahu arrived.
Qin Dahu was shocked when he saw the baskets of fresh and tender bean sprouts.
“Younger Sis, are these the bean sprout you were talking about? They look so tender!” Qin Dahu couldn’t help reaching out for a touch.
He barely used any strength, yet he broke one of the white and tender bean sprouts.
“It’s a sprout. Of course it’s tender. It also tastes very fresh,” Qin Xiaoyao said as she weighed the sprouts.
“This basket has already been weighed. It’s exactly 50 catties.”
“In addition, those in the bamboo backpack are for Second Brother and your households to have a taste of something new. Big Brother, you take it back and give half to Second Brother.”
Seeing that there were quite a lot of bean sprouts in the bamboo backpack, Qin Dahu was about to refuse.
However, Qin Xiaoyao seemed to know what he was going to say and spoke again.
“It’s not just for you to eat. Father is taking turns eating at both of your households, and Second Sister-in-law is pregnant. Take it back and let them have a taste.”
Qin Dahu couldn’t find any words to refute her.
Only then did he take out his money.
“50 catties of bean sprouts and 10 pairs of straw sandals. A total of 80 copper coins.”
“Take this!” As he spoke, he handed a string of copper coins to Qin Xiaoyao.
That was right. The bean sprouts that his younger sister supplied them were sold at a price of one copper coin per catty. As for how much they could sell them at the market, they could decide for themselves.
In his opinion, it was entirely possible to sell such fresh and tender bean sprouts at two copper coins per catty.
Of course, if the customer bought more, they could lower the price for him.
In short, if this basket of bean sprouts was sold out, it should not be a problem to earn 20 or 30 copper coins.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t have time to waste.
“Put it on the table. I’ll get it later.”
“Okay.” Qin Dahu did as he was told.
Qin Xiaoyao then instructed Wang Xiaomei to bring the straw sandals out of the house.
Then, she allowed Qin Dahu to choose the straw sandals he wanted.
After that, Qin Dahu spoke to Qin Xiaoyao for a while longer.
After confirming that there was nothing else he could help with, he carried the bamboo backpack on his back and left.
Following this, Qin Xiaoyao finished weighing another basket and looked at Big Girl Li and Liu Xiaomei.
“Alright. These two baskets are for you two. They weighed 100 catties in total, so that’s 100 copper coins,” she said.
“Give me 30 pairs of straw sandals too. So that’s a total of 190 copper coins,” Big Girl Li added.
As she said that, she reached for her money as well.
...
At the same time, Liu Xiaomei stepped forward to select the straw sandals.
That was right. Ever since Big Girl Li and Qin Xiaoyao set up their stalls separately in the markets on South Street and North Street, their businesses had also been separated.
Although the woven bamboo products in the Song family’s storeroom were shared by the two of them, they were stored separately.
It was only because Big Girl Li hadn’t moved to town before then, and she didn’t have a place to put these things that she put the goods in the Song family’s place.
A few days ago, she had already moved her portion of the goods away.
At night, when the two Xiaomei’s went out to set up their stall in the night market, they used the stock that belonged to Qin Xiaoyao.
Of course, Qin Xiaoyao only got one-third of the money after they earned it. The remaining two-thirds went to those two Xiaomei’s.
In this regard, Big Girl Li did not contribute anything. On top of that, her husband, Liu Daniu, was Qin Xiaoyao’s supplier. There was some profit to be made from this, so she didn’t mind.
Without waiting for Qin Xiaoyao’s reply, Big Girl Li placed the silver and copper coins that she had prepared in advance on the stone table.
It was placed away from the money Qin Dahu gave, forming two piles.
Qin Xiaoyao only took a glance and continued to work.
...
Soon, another three baskets of bean sprouts weighing 50 catties each were sorted out.
In the end, they even had half a basket left.
When Big Girl Li saw this, she proposed to split the half basket.
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Wang Xiaomei, and seeing that she didn’t object, she sold the remaining half basket of bean sprouts to Big Girl Li and got another 20 copper coins.
Just then, Liu Daniu arrived.
After Qin Xiaoyao paid for the new woven bamboo products and eggs she ordered, she also paid Liu Daniu the money she received from the Mansion and Restaurant the day before after deducting her own share.
That was right. She didn’t really take stock of the goods that Liu Daniu sent over nowadays.
She simply sent those goods and her own goods to Fortune Mansion and Fortune Restaurant straightaway.
After that, based on the procurement receipts the two establishments issued, she would calculate the portion that was due to Liu Daniu. It was more convenient and faster this way.
After Liu Daniu received the bill, he would compare it with the goods he had delivered the day before.
After verifying that almost all the quantities were roughly the same, he had also accepted this method.
Both sides had been working together in this way for a while now, and it saved them a lot of effort.
After sending Liu Daniu and Big Girl Li off, Qin Xiaoyao brought Wang Xiaomei back to the hall for breakfast.
“It seems that I’ll have to ask Yun’er to help in the future. Otherwise, the two of us will not be able to cope,” Qin Xiaoyao said as they walked along.
The thing was that they had another business at home now.
She had to harvest the bean sprouts and weigh them, which took a lot of time.
“No problem. I’ll just wake up earlier tomorrow and harvest the bean sprouts in advance! By the time Mrs. Song gets up, we can weigh and pack them straightaway!”
“Yun’er has to make breakfast with Aunt Song. So she won’t be free.”
Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Wang Xiaomei with a smile.
“How long is it going to take if you harvest by yourself? It’s better to get Yun’er to help. In the future, when I’m too busy, you can bring Yun’er to help with the accounts and collect money.”
“If you two can graduate to help out, I’ll be able to relax a little.”
Wang Xiaomei was shocked. Mrs. Song wanted her to settle accounts and collect money?
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled again.
“What? You’re not confident?” she asked.
