Chapter 12 The Wedding Candle

I bought a stone of millet and ate five dou of one meal today. I saved some food and only had two meals left. This is better than having no overnight food at home, but it is just a little better.

Dr. Zhao was standing in the cold wind, holding his stomach, as if he wanted to remember the rare feeling of fullness today.

If you have never been hungry, you don’t know how valuable it is to eat a full meal.

Li Xiao thought in his mind that if he saved some money, he would earn twelve and a half dollars a day. Twelve and a half dollars could fill his stomach with his forties. It sounded like the goal was very simple.

"Sanlang, there will be no hidden dangers in selling this cucumber to the Zhang family's little bully, right?" Dr. Zhao asked with some concern. There were too many people just now, so he didn't want to say much, but the Zhang family and the Li family were a big grudge. The current decline of the Li family was all calculated by the Zhang family.

"Don't worry, there's nothing to do with your feet."

The little bully bought 100 cucumbers for two thousand yuan, and he is probably still laughing now. According to Li Xiao's estimate, he would definitely sell these cucumbers for money. There are not many rare things in Chang'an City. Some of the noble and wealthy families can digest them, and maybe they plan to make a small profit.

"Wouldn't that be cheaper than the Zhang family?"

"Care them? How could it be?" Li Xiao smiled. He still had nine hundred cucumbers in his hand, and this was the first batch. In a few days, the second batch of cucumbers could be harvested again.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xiao took the cucumbers to the Zhang family. If there were only a hundred, he would just go to Chang'an by himself. Because of the large quantity, Li Xiao knew very well that cucumbers could not really be sold at too high prices.

"I plan to sell all the remaining cucumbers tomorrow." It is impossible for a 20-month cucumber to be sold, but even if one can be sold for two cents, it will never be a loss. After all, Li Xiao's cucumbers were not really transported from Jiangnan, nor did they grow in the field after several months of cycles.

His cucumber vine can produce tens of thousands of cucumbers, so the goods will be sufficient. What you need now is to get the quantity out.

"Sanlang, do you know where this cucumber is produced?" Dr. Zhao asked. It was the first time he saw such a magical cucumber. The first time he heard that Zhang Xiaobawang was willing to buy 100 cucumbers for two thousand yuan, which fully demonstrated the rareness of this cucumber.

"I think so. If we can find a master of this kind of cucumber, we can master this channel and make a lot of money in this transaction." Dr. Zhao is quite business-minded.

Li Xiao’s cucumbers were simply explained to others by a businessman, but he had never explained the specific one to anyone, and he couldn’t explain it clearly. Fortunately, everyone trusted Li Xiao very much, and he didn’t say it, and no one went into it.

However, seeing that the cucumber is so rare and easy to make money, everyone still wants to get more cucumbers.

"I will contact you again, probably there is no big problem."

"Is that true? But why do people sell such a good thing for us? Can't they sell it directly on their own?"

Li Xiao laughed twice and said, as a reply.

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao couldn't say much.

Li Xiao said there were nine hundred cucumbers, so Mr. Zhao thought about how to sell them as soon as possible.

"How about selling them all to Zhang Chao?" Mr. Zhao said.

Li Xiao shook his head, "Today, he sold him 20 cents a piece, because he said that this cucumber is only one batch, with a small number and very rare, and it was transported from thousands of miles south of the Yangtze River. If we take out another nine hundred cucumbers tomorrow, then this matter will not be clear. He will definitely not be willing to buy it at that time, and may even ask us to refund the high price we gave yesterday."

"My idea is that we will go to Lanxi, Lantian and Chang'an tomorrow to sell it, and try to sell at a high price first. It's okay to sell it in a scattered manner. It's okay to sell it a little bit. It's a little bit. Taking advantage of the rare things now, we will make a profit."

Even if it is less than twenty cents per piece, it would be good if it can be sold for fifteen cents per piece.

After selling it, you can sell it at a lower price. If you can’t sell it for twenty cents, it’s fifteen. If you can’t sell it for fifteen, it’s ten cents. If you can’t sell it for ten cents, it’s five cents, and if you can’t sell it for five cents, it’s two cents.

Even if you sell two cents per piece, Li Xiao can produce tens of thousands of pieces, which is quite a lot of money.

This money is not a big money, nor is it enough to pay back the Li family's debts, but it is still enough to improve the current difficult life.

"Looking back, the little bully took the cucumber and thought that the strange goods were used as a treasure, but in the blink of an eye, the streets were filled with anger, and he was probably so angry that he vomited blood." Mr. Zhao said with a smile. Mr. Zhao never had any good impression of Zhang Chao.

"That's not right. You can make some money from him and get angry with him. You should take some interest first."

When I got home, the room was still lively.

Today I was full of food and everyone was warm. No one was in a hurry to lie on the bed early and chat around the fire pit.

As soon as Li Xiao entered the door, he found that Li Zhen, Zhao Wan and many other women were not there.

Yang Da saw him coming in and smiled, "The groom is back."

Guo Biao and several other men came over, "Cuihua has already boiled water for you. Hurry up and take a shower. Even if it is your wedding night, you must wash it clean!"

Li Xiao was a little confused.

Why is this considered a wedding night?

Mr. Zhao followed in, looking smiling.

As he was talking, Li Zhen also came in with a smile.

"Brother, today you and your sister-in-law will settle your family."

“Yes, today.”

Everyone says everything.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with things. At the beginning, Li Xiao and Zhao Wan had a good relationship, and they were childhood sweethearts. Later, Li Xiao left home to take refuge because of Zhao Wan's heroic rescue of the beauty. When the news of Li Xiao's death was returned, Zhao Wan took the initiative to marry into the Li family with her spirit card. Speaking of which, this is also a man with love and a woman with a righteousness.

Now that Li Xiao is back, this is naturally a happy thing for everyone.

Tonight, it should be the wedding night.

Li Xiao stood there and didn't know what to say. Although he inherited the memory of Li Xiao and always liked Zhao Wan, it was just the childhood sweetheart. It was not as good as a marriage, and he was not exactly the Li Xiao.

After he came here, he admired Zhao Wan's loyalty and praised her virtuousness. To be honest, it was really hard to accept that he would marry a girl who had only met for a long time.

But seeing everyone taking it for granted and even having fun, he didn't know what to say. No matter what he said at this time, it would probably destroy the atmosphere and would even be regarded as unacceptable by everyone.

After all, no matter what, Wanniang is already his wife, and what qualifications does Li Xiao have to refuse? Rejection is an ungrateful and careless man who will be sprayed to death by spitting on his lips.
