The jar contains four liters of tonic wine, equivalent to forty servings, and can be sold for 20,000 yuan. As for vegetables, they sell 5 kilograms of lettuce for 10 yuan per 500 grams.
Two kilograms of cherry tomatoes, two kilograms of eggplant, two kilograms of cucumbers, and two kilograms of bean poles sell for 15 yuan per 250 grams.
Although expensive, the quality is high and the price is acceptable for those wealthy and powerful families. What’s more, after these vegetables are stored in Lu Jueyu’s space, the health benefits after consumption increase by threefold.
When Li Chenmo came back with the bamboo basket, Bajie hurried over to help him move it to the tricycle. After moving the bamboo basket, Bajie came back to get the tonic wine. Seeing so much tonic wine, he was ecstatic and asked, "Brother Li, is this all your tonic wine?"
"There are still some, but they are not ready yet." Li Chenmo said thoughtfully.
"When can we sell the next batch?" Bajie asked.
Thinking of the amount of tonic wine in his wife’s space, he said, "It will be ready as soon as next week."
After hearing what he said, Bajie felt happy and said, "Then, please let me know when the wine is ready."
"Mhmm. Bajie, I need your help with something. "
"Brother Li, what is it?"
"There is an old man who often waits for my wife at the intersection in front of Houzi’s house. Help me take care of him. If he wants to pay with gold and jade, just accept it. You can directly deduct his part from our share."
Although Bajie didn’t understand why Li Chenmo and his wife wanted to collect jade, and even specifically told him about the old man, he didn’t say anything and nodded, "I understand."
After sending Bajie away and locking the door, Li Chenmo returned to the bedroom. Lu Jueyu was too sleepy and took the two of them to her space. After changing their clothes, they went to bed.
Meanwhile, Bajie and his sister arrived at Houzi’s place in forty minutes. By the time they returned, the black market was crowded with people. As he rode through the intersection, he saw an old man waiting anxiously in a secluded corner.
Thinking of Li Chenmo’s words, he looked at his sister and said, "Sha Sha, you go back first."
Ding Sha didn’t know what her brother wanted to do, but she didn’t dare to stay outside for too long with these goods. So she nodded and returned to Houzi’s place first. After his sister left, Bajie rode towards the old man and asked, "Old man, are you looking for a young woman and her husband?"
"Yes, we got a jar this time. I’ll go get it."
After saying this, Bajie went to the tricycle to get the jar and came back soon. When the old man saw the fresh vegetables, meat sauce, and snacks taken out of the bamboo basket, he was stunned. But what shocked him the most was the jar of wine. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
The moment Houzi untied the rope and opened the lid, the fresh smell of spring dew filled the room. The old man knew it was good stuff without tasting it. After Houzi and Bajie finished checking the goods, he asked, "Nephews, can I buy some tonic wine and food?"
Since Li Chenmo had asked them to take care of the old man, Houzi didn’t embarrass him and said, "Uncle, what should I call you and what do you want to buy?"
The old man pointed to the tonic wine and said, "You can call me Old Mo. I want a bottle of this wine, a hundred grams of each vegetable, a bowl of jujube cake, and a jar of wild honey."
Houzi nodded and said, "Uncle, this tonic wine sells for 550 yuan per 100 ml. As for vegetables and so on, this is the price."
Houzi handed a piece of paper to the old man. The prices on the list have been changed by him. 10% was added to each item as his fee.
When the old man looked at the price, he exclaimed, "Why is it so expensive?!"
