Chapter 911 Mulberry Jam

"Are you still selling these mulberries?" Seeing the old man stunned, Yuan Zhou asked again.

When Yuan Zhou asked, his tone was gentle, and the noodle soup at the door also whimpered twice, which sounded very cute, as if to prove Yuan Zhou's words, it does not bite.

The two baskets carried by the old man were all filled with purple-black mulberries, which seemed to be full of different sizes. They may have been picked for a long time and are now a little wilted, but they are still very fresh.

When the old man heard this, he looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise. He didn't react until Yuan Zhou asked the question for the second time.

"You want to buy, want to buy this?" the old man asked, pointing to the basket.

"Yes, it looks good." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Oh...oh, okay, this is not expensive. I'll sell it for eight yuan. It's so late and I'll charge you six yuan a pound." Seeing Yuan Zhou nod, the old man immediately said.

The old man was very happy and lowered the price without waiting for anyone to counter-offer.

"Okay, give me these two baskets." Yuan Zhou nodded and said.

"Two baskets? That's not possible. Eat less of these mulberries to support people. Eating too much is not good, and it's a pity if you can't eat them and they go bad." The old man was excited at first, and then shook his head.

"Don't worry, this is a store in front of me. I'll definitely use it up after buying it." Yuan Zhou said gently.

"A shop? Well, little boss, please remember that you can't put away the mulberries. Eat them quickly and I'll weigh them for you." The old man nodded, then put down his burden and started to get the scale.

"Well, you weigh it, and I'll get a dustpan to hold things." Yuan Zhou nodded and then said.

"Don't worry, young man, my scale is accurate. It can't be wrong." The old man nodded, then huddled by the door and waited quietly.

Yuanzhou didn't go far, so he took a large dustpan from the second floor. It looked like it could hold the forty or fifty kilograms of mulberries outside without any problem.

"Just put it in this." Yuan Zhou said.

"Okay, I call you young man and you watch." When the old man saw Yuan Zhou coming back, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded, then poured the noodle soup in his hand into the dog bowl and looked up at the old man.

"The total in this frame is twenty-one and a half kilograms, and this one is eighteen and a half kilograms. The total is thirty-eight kilograms for you. You can calculate how much it is. I am too old to figure it out." The old man put down the scale and said with some embarrassment.

"The total is two hundred and forty yuan." Yuan Zhou said.

"Two hundred and four? Okay, I'll give you a small change. Just give me two hundred yuan." The old man said with a smile.

"That won't work, just take it as much as you want." Yuan Zhou couldn't refuse and directly handed over exactly two hundred and fourteen dollars.

"Thank you, thank you young man." The old man said with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome, how do you get here?" Yuan Zhou asked just as the old man was carefully loading mulberries into Yuan Zhou's dustpan.

Indeed, the old man looked like he was selling mulberries, so how could he carry a load into such a remote alley? This alley was almost untraveled, let alone any business.

"No one is allowed to sell it outside now. I haven't sold it for a day, so I just wanted to go astray so as not to disturb other people's business." The old man said slowly.

"You grow this to sell?" Yuan Zhou didn't say much, but asked about something else.

"That's not the case. I just have two old mulberry trees at home. When I can't eat the fruit, I sell them to subsidize them." The old man said.

"Then if you still have some next time, send me some." Yuan Zhou said calmly.

"That won't work. I'll bother you to buy it no matter what." The old man shook his head repeatedly.

"It's okay. If there is no selling point, you can walk here in case I need it." Yuan Zhou said.

"Thank you for your kindness, young man. If you think it tastes good, I will bring you some next time." The old man said cheerfully.

"No, I'm opening a shop now. What matters is having money, so that my business will be good." Yuan Zhou said seriously.

"Thank you, young man." The old man nodded and thanked him again.

"You're welcome." Yuan Zhou said.

While pretending to be mulberries, the old man said thank you several times, and each time Yuanzhou said seriously that you're welcome,

He bought it for his own needs.

The old man didn't get up until every mulberry was put into Yuan Zhou's dustpan.

"Thank you." Yuan Zhou said.

"You're welcome. I want to thank you, young man. My mulberries have not been treated with pesticides. They can be eaten after being washed with clean water." The old man instructed.

Yuan Zhou didn't say anything this time, nodded, and watched the old man walk away with his empty load.

Yuan Zhou's eyesight was very good. Even if there was no light in the alley, he could see that the old man's back was no longer so stooped. Perhaps it was because all the mulberries in the burden had been sold and the weight had been reduced.

When the people walked away, Yuan Zhou was dumbfounded.

"Um, forty pounds of mulberries is that much?" Yuan Zhou felt a little headache looking at a dustpan full of black and purple fruits.

He couldn't eat so much even if he ate it himself, and the shelf life of giving it away was very short, and it might rot before it was finished.

"I seem to be stupid for a moment." Yuan Zhou looked at Sang Ye and murmured to himself.

"Forget it, just buy it, make jam, and practice your skills." Yuan Zhou picked up the dustpan and prepared to put it in the small courtyard of the tavern.

After putting them away, Yuanzhou grabbed another handful of mulberries, washed them with warm water, drained the water and took them to the back door.

"I'll give you something to eat. I'm going to give you some rewards for being an excuse. But it's not good if you eat too much. There's only so much." Yuanzhou put the mulberries into the bowl of noodle soup and said.

"Woof." Nian Tang raised his head and shouted at Yuan Zhou, then lowered his head to eat mulberries. Of course, he didn't forget to point his butt towards Yuan Zhou.

I guess he was dissatisfied with the fact that Yuanzhou only gave him so few mulberries.

Because he bought mulberries at short notice, Yuanzhou was busy washing them that night.

"It seems like this jam can be made." Yuan Zhou was washing and calculating how many bottles of jam he could make.

Because there were too many, Yuanzhou moved out a lot of dustpans to dry the water so that the sauce could be cooked the next day.

Therefore, as soon as breakfast time was over the next day, Yuan Zhou hurried to the vegetable market to buy sugar.

Anyone who uses the sugar provided by the system cannot give it away, so Yuanzhou can only buy it again.

Yuanzhou pulled his hand-pulled cart back with twenty kilograms of sugar, but as soon as he reached the door, he saw two people waiting at the door.

"Xiao Yuan went shopping?" Lian Carpenter was the one who spoke.

"I'm really sorry that Lian Carpenter has been waiting for so long." Yuan Zhou said immediately.

"No, I didn't tell you the time yesterday. I figured you were free now, so I came right over." Lian Carpenter waved his hand nonchalantly.

On the other hand, the middle-aged man who was following Carpenter Lian looked at Yuan Zhou with surprise in his eyes.

But no, although they had just arrived, those who dared to wait even a minute for the carpenter to come to the door would basically have no furniture later.

But it was obvious that Lian Carpenter didn't mind, so the man looked at Yuan Zhou in a strange way.

"The carpenter is in trouble." Yuanzhou said as he opened the door.
