Transmigrated To Ancient Time: Thrive With An Auction System!-Chapter 163: Buying Waste ( 2 )

Noticing the old woman’s fear and anxiety, Xie Ya’er said with a smile, "Granny, today I came to discuss a business with the Village Chief. I wonder if he is at home?"

"Replying to Madam, my son is in the fields. I will ask someone to call him. Please come inside and have a seat," the old woman said and gestured for them to enter.

"Then, we have to trouble you, Granny," Xie Ya’er nodded and walked into the house.

The house was small, but the yard was vast. There were several plots of vegetables in the yard, but most of them were wilted and had yellow leaves.

While she was looking around, the old woman had already asked a boy to inform her son. When she walked in, she saw the noble guest already taking her seat.

She quickly poured a bowl of water for them and said, "Madam, please forgive my family’s lack of hospitality. We only have water at home."

"It’s okay. Granny, please have a seat," Xie Ya’er gestured.

Since she had said so, the old woman could only take her seat and wait.

Xie Ya’er glanced at the bowl and saw that it was clean. Reaching out, she took a sip of the water.

Although the water was clear, she could smell moss, and the water tasted strange. So, she only took a sip and put the bowl down. Even so, the old woman was flattered by her gesture.

She knew that wealthy families only drank spring water, let alone the noble lady. For her to be willing to take a sip of water she poured for her, it already showed her magnanimity and politeness.

They only waited for 15 minutes before a middle-aged man returned with a boy, followed by a group of people. Seeing them coming, the old woman stood up and said, "Dali, you are back."

"Mother," Wang Dali reached out to support her and helped her sit down before he turned to the guests.

He had learned about the situation from the boy. Although the boy’s words were not clear, he knew that these people were from the General’s mansion.

Cupping his fists, he bowed and said, "This commoner greets Madam."

Everyone followed and greeted Xie Ya’er politely. She waved her hand and said, "Everyone, no need for formalities."

After a moment of pause, she asked, "Are you the village chief?"

"This commoner’s name is Wang Dali, the village chief of Wang Village."

"Village Chief Wang, please have a seat," Xie Ya’er nodded.

With her permission, Wang Dali took a seat across from her. "Madam, why did you suddenly visit our village?" he asked.

"Village Chief, I heard that your village mostly earns money from raising pigs and selling pork."

"We are indeed raising a lot of pigs and selling pork," Wang Dali nodded.

"Then, there must be a lot of pig blood and pig innards every day. Usually, how do you handle those things?" Xie Ya’er asked.

"We mostly bury the innards in the wasteland and throw the pig blood into a pit."

"So, it’s basically wasted."

"Madam, those things are smelly and can’t be eaten, so it’s normal for us to throw them away," the old woman said. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Xie Ya’er smiled and asked, "If I tell you that I want to buy pig blood for 3 wen per 2 jin and pig innards for 2 wen per jin, will you be willing to sell them?"

As soon as she said this, everyone was stunned. After a long time, Wang Dali finally asked, "Madam, are you serious? Those things can’t be eaten, or you will get sick."

When she heard his words, Xie Ya’er smiled and replied, "Village Chief, you only need to tell me if you are willing to sell them or not. Other matters are not your concern."

Even though she was smiling, Wang Dali felt pressured. Facing such an opportunity, only a fool would refuse. Since she had said so, he didn’t need to be concerned about what she wanted to do with those wastes.

After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Madam, we will sell them."

Xie Ya’er nodded and said, "For the pig blood, you need to boil it for 1 hour to coagulate it. You can send the coagulated blood to the General’s mansion together with the pig innards every day."

When they heard this, the villagers exchanged glances.

Although it required them to do more work, it was still acceptable. After all, those things had no value. If some work could allow them to sell those things for money, they were willing to do it.

Wang Dali saw them nod and said, "Madam, we will definitely do as you said."

Nodding at him, Xie Ya’er gestured to Chun Hua.

Taking out 2 pieces of paper from her sleeves, Chun Hua placed them on the table, then took out the cinnabar paste, a tube of ink, and a brush.

Xie Ya’er wrote down the terms and put her thumbprints on them. While she wiped her finger with a wet handkerchief, she said, "Village Chief, you can read the agreement first. If there is no problem, just put your thumbprints on it."

The Village Chief recognized some words and read the agreement for a while before he put his thumbprints on it. Afterwards, Chun Hua kept one and handed the other to him.

"Village Chief, the steward will settle the payment during delivery."

"Thank you, Madam." The village chief stood up and bowed to her.

The villagers followed suit and said in unison, "Thank you, Madam."

Xie Ya’er waved her hand and stood up. She nodded at them and left the house, followed by everyone. After she reached the village entrance, she turned and said, "Village Chief, I hope this cooperation will last for a long time."

"Madam, we will definitely not disappoint you."

"Good."

As the carriage drove away, Wang Dali turned to his sons and said, "Inform everyone to gather in the village hall. I will announce this good news to everyone."

"Yes, Father."

While Wang Village was bustling with activity, a similar situation happened in several villages that raised pigs. After personally visiting the villages, Xie Ya’er understood their situation.

Although she couldn’t help everyone, at least she could lift the burden of several villages. This was enough for now.
