How to make money from this?

You can’t really sell peaches at sky-high prices, right?

The people of Chang'an City are not stupid.

"We'll get off the official road ahead and walk a few miles and we should be there."

Wenying recalled the address of Peach Village, combined with some road signs he saw along the way, and basically locked his destination.

The last time I came to Peach Village was three years ago.

That time, I lost all my money. Not a single peach in the carriage was intact.

Fortunately, the purchase price was not high, and the losses were not particularly large.

However, those peaches are really delicious.

Wenying recalled the scene when she was eating peaches in Peach Village, and her mouth watered uncontrollably.

I don’t know if anything has changed now.

"Huh?"

When preparing to drive the carriage down the official road, Wenying discovered that there was someone selling a load of peaches under the locust tree at the intersection.

Could it be that someone got there first?

Wenying's heart skipped a beat.

When doing business, competition is inevitable.

However, it feels very uncomfortable to finally come up with a good idea, only to be snatched away by someone else.

"Hey! How do you sell these peaches?"

Wenying signaled the driver to stop the carriage and came to the peach seller.

This peach is red and big, and it looks mouth-watering.

Yes, this is the peach from Peach Village.

Even after three years, Wenying could recognize him at a glance.

Shui Ergui got up early in the morning to pick peaches. He ate a few mouthfuls of gruel in the morning and then carried the peaches to the side of the official road.

Under the scorching sun, he had just come to take a nap under the locust tree when he found someone buying peaches.

Isn't this a dream?

"Snapped!"

Shui Ergui couldn't help but slap himself.

It hurts!

Wenying looked at the silly Shui Ergui in front of her and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Judging from my experience in dealing with farmers over the years, this peach seller is definitely not one of my peers, but nine out of ten, he is a nearby villager.

"Are you selling these peaches? How do you sell them?"

Wenying raised her voice again.

"Ah... they are for sale, of course they are for sale. These peaches are grown by my family. They are so sweet. They only cost a penny for two. Do you want to take a bite first?"

Shui Ergui quickly picked up a peach and signaled to Wenying that he could try it first before buying it.

Big, red peaches, two for a penny, really cheap.

If this were placed in Chang'an City, it would be possible to sell it for five cents each.

"No need to taste it, I'll just buy two first."

Naturally, Wenying would not take advantage of other farmers and directly gave him a penny.

Then he picked up two peaches, wiped them on his sleeves without washing them, and took a big bite.

A stream of honey overflowed from the corner of Wenying's mouth.

Um.

Still a familiar taste.

"Did you just say that you grew this peach yourself?"

Wenying ate a peach in three strokes and began to think about the purpose of this trip.

In Peach Village, there are quite a few villagers planting peach trees.

However, there are good and bad peaches in each household.

The most urgent thing you need to consider is not how to lower the price of peaches.

They only sell them for a penny each, how can it be more expensive than this if they buy them themselves?

How to monopolize the peaches in Peach Village this year is what Wenying is thinking about now.

Even if you can't get 100% of it, you should at least get more than half of it.

Since the carriage has been traveling so smoothly along the way, the peach must not have been completely damaged like three years ago.

And if the damage is only 10% to 20%, or even 30% to 40%, this is completely acceptable.

After all, the peaches in Peach Village and the peaches from other places are on completely different levels.

If there is a lot of damage during transportation, the worst case scenario is that it will be sold at a higher price.

Based on Wenying's understanding of the spending power of the nobles in Chang'an City, she can definitely make a fortune this year.

"Yes, I grow them all myself. How about it? It's delicious. Do you want some more?"

Seeing that Wenying only bought two peaches, Shui Ergui was a little disappointed and continued to persuade him to buy more.

"Are you a villager from Peach Village?"

"Yes, it's Peach Village, which is just a few miles away.

"How is the peach harvest today? Is it in good condition?"

"This year is a good harvest year, and the quality of peaches is also very good. No, you have tried it just now. Are they much more delicious than ordinary peaches? I am not bragging, the peaches produced in Peach Village are,

No one from all over the country says it’s not delicious.”

After a short conversation, Wenying had a general understanding of the situation in Peach Village this year.

What a good harvest.

I finally don’t have to worry about running out of goods.

"Are there any traders coming to the village to buy peaches this year?"

Wenying asked a relatively sensitive question.

"Hey, if there were, I wouldn't have to carry a burden here to sell peaches."

Seeing Shui Ergui's helpless answer, Wenying felt inexplicably relieved.

"Well, don't sell your peaches, I want them all. The price you mentioned is one penny for two. If the other peaches in your home are selling like this, I won't lower the price with you, but

, I have a condition."

"Ah? You want them all?"

Shui Ergui's eyes widened and he looked at Wenying in disbelief.

Didn't you burn incense when you went out today?

How could such a good thing fall from the sky?

"Yes, I want it, but I have another condition."

Seeing Shui Ergui's reaction, Wenying was very satisfied.

"Sir, what are your conditions?"

"The conditions are actually very simple. You can only sell all your peaches this year to me. In addition, you must pick the peaches and carry them basket by basket to the official road."

Although it is only a few miles from here to Peach Village, looking at the uneven road, if it were transported by horse-drawn carriage, it is estimated that more peaches would be damaged in this section of the road than in the entire official road of 200 miles.

That's why Wenying made this request to Shui Ergui.

"That's it? Are there any others?"

Shui Ergui licked his tongue, feeling that happiness suddenly knocked on the door.

The request made by the shopkeeper is not a request at all.

"No, that's all. However, we won't sign any contract. Just to avoid breach of contract, both of us must make an oath to God."

Wenying had no better way to restrain these villagers.

These villagers are basically illiterate, so you can't talk about signing a contract with them.

However, if there are no constraints at all, that won’t work either.
