Glutinous rice is not a necessity, it is a seasonal food. During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will purchase some glutinous rice to make rice dumplings or rice cakes. But Zongzi does not have to be made of glutinous rice, rhubarb rice can also be used.
In the south, there will be more tricks, and some people will use glutinous rice to make wine, but these are niche activities, so the consumption of glutinous rice is actually very limited.
The most important thing is that compared to other grains, glutinous rice has higher requirements for freshness. Fresh glutinous rice is soft, glutinous and delicious, with a refreshing fragrance. Old glutinous rice will have a dusty smell. Eating glutinous rice itself is a bit refreshing. Who would eat old rice in such a disgraceful way?
Tan Xinren was sweating on his forehead. He had no idea what Zhang Tianci wanted to do with the purchase of Nuomi. He just speculated on Xiao Feng's calligraphy skills and concluded that this must be a profitable business like sorghum. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng deliberately set a trap!
Looking back now, I learned that the news about Zhang Tianci's acquisition of Nuomi came from Chunyan Tower. It was because he heard that Xiao Feng tested Zhang Tianci's calligraphy in Chunyan Tower, and then Zhang Tianci ran away to other places, that he sent people to track down what Zhang Tianci was doing, and that's how he learned that Zhang Tianci purchased Nuomi.
So here’s the question, Xiao Feng doesn’t like serious women, so why does he have to go to Chunyan Tower to test Zhang Tianci’s handwriting? Did you really go there just to see that mother?
That's right, Xiao Feng's unique taste has become well-known in the capital and has become a hot topic among the upper class. Even Jiajing heard about it. He just smiled faintly and said to Huang Jin: "For cultivators like us, even if we are interested in women, we are still looking for a cultivation cauldron. As for whether we are young and beautiful, it doesn't matter. With this It can be seen that Xiao Feng is a man of virtue."
Huang Jin thought of the young and beautiful girls in Xiyuan and praised them against his will: "Long live the Holy Ming."
It's a pity that Tan Xinren is not in the mood to ridicule Xiao Feng's unique taste at the moment. When he puts the things together, he knows that he has fallen into Xiao Feng's trap. Zhang Tianci didn't want to buy Nuomi at all, he just used the deposit to make a small gain.
If Tan Xinren was not fooled, then Zhang Tianci would only fulfill a small part of the contract at the cost of losing a deposit, or at most a small compensation. But Tan Xinren was fooled and spent nearly ten times the liquidated damages to support merchants and farmers in terminating their contracts with Zhang Tianci. As a result, Zhang Tianci made a huge profit.
Now the dilemma is on my side, should I fully fulfill the contract, or should I give up most of the deposit and only buy a little glutinous rice according to the annual amount?
As a savvy businessman, this question is almost a no-brainer. Even if you give up most of the deposit, you can still bear it by gritting your teeth. But if you buy these glutinous rice at full price, it will not only occupy the warehouse, but if you can't sell it, you can only deal with it at a huge price reduction, and you will definitely lose more!
After Tan Xinren sent Miss Yun away, he immediately sent someone to call the shopkeeper of Shengshi Grain Store: "We can't collect the glutinous rice anymore, stop it immediately!"
The shopkeeper blinked: "Boss, the contract will be executed in the next two days. If the contract is not executed, it will be void and the deposit will be gone!"
Tan Xinren waved his hand: "The situation is too small! The deposit is nothing. If the glutinous rice is taken back and the full price is paid, the loss will be much greater!"
The shopkeeper asked in confusion: "Master, didn't you say that this business will definitely make money? The liquidated damages we paid to Zhang Tianci is a large amount of money. If we don't make it back from the glutinous rice, our grain store may lose money this year. ah!"
Tan Xinren blushed and became angry: "Losing money is also losing my money, so just do as I say!"
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything anymore, so he had to quit, and returned to the grain store and told the guys dejectedly: "Don't even think about giving out any gifts at the end of this year. The grain store will definitely lose money."
The guys were anxious. Although the losses and profits of the grain store belong to the owner, from the shopkeeper to the clerk, the "happy face" at the end of the year, which is equivalent to the bonus for future generations, all depends on performance. If the grain business loses money, this year's work will be in vain!
Everyone was noisy around the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper slapped the table and said, "What the hell are you talking about? How much money do you have? My losses alone are greater than those of you combined! Let's have some fun. The boss has a lot of capital, at least the food." If the store goes bankrupt, you still have work to do. With such a big hole, if it were placed in an ordinary grain store, it would go bankrupt immediately!"
Xiao Feng was drinking with Zhang Tianci in the yard. According to Zhang Tianci, after making such a big sum this time, he should go to the best brothel, no, set up a table in a restaurant to celebrate. Xiao Feng, however, was unwilling to make it public. In his previous life, he compensated a client for drinking in a hotel and got really hurt. The shadow continues to this day.
Xiao Feng's favorite atmosphere is when the whole family gathers around the dining table and has a few home-cooked dishes, preferably one that goes with wine. Then add two ounces of wine, sip slowly, and watch your wife and children talking and laughing. That is true happiness.
Unfortunately, although Zhang Tianci repeatedly stated that he was not an outsider, Qiao Niang still refused to come to the table to eat together. Qiao Niang strictly guarded her status as a slave and would never change it just because her family's fortunes declined or rose. It was okay to go to a restaurant for dinner last time, but it would never be okay to eat at home in front of foreign guests. Xiao Feng had no choice but to work slowly and carefully, slowly changing her mentality.
Qiaoqiao was young, and Qiao's mother felt sorry for her because she had suffered a lot since she was a child, and she didn't want to wrong her too much. Xiao Feng didn't have the airs of a master, so he insisted on letting Qiao Qiao serve, so Qiao Niang didn't stop him.
Zhang Tianci was half drunk and took out a stack of banknotes from his arms: "Brother, this is half of the profit this time. Keep it."
Xiao Feng waved his hand: "Put it away, it will be used soon."
Zhang Tianci was stunned: "Are you going to use so much? What business are you doing?"
Xiao Feng drank a glass of wine, and Qiaoqiao immediately picked up the wine bottle and filled it up. Xiao Feng looked at Qiaoqiao dotingly and smiled: "You say goodbye to my wife and daughter tonight, and you have to go out in the morning. Tan Xinren got it After the news you spread in Chunyan Tower, you will definitely break the contract. Although those merchants and farmers got two deposits in vain, they still have to sell the glutinous rice. "
Zhang Tianci nodded repeatedly: "That's right, especially farmers. Even if you give them full price and let them rotten the glutinous rice at home, they will never agree. My ancestors also came from farming, and farmers are like this. "
Xiao Feng whispered: "But since they have already received two deposits, they won't care too much about the price of the glutinous rice. As soon as Tan Xinren breaks the contract, they will definitely be anxious and will be willing to sell the rice at a lower price. Go back immediately and wait. After Tan Xinren’s contract expires and he defaults, he will go back and place a deposit to receive the rice.”
Zhang Tianci was stunned by this coquettish operation. He held the wine in his hand without drinking it for a long time and opened his mouth wide: "Brother, do we really want to buy glutinous rice?"
Xiao Feng nodded: "Buy, the word test is to buy glutinous rice. This tossing in the middle is just a way for me to deal with Tan Xinren. If you really want to make a fortune, you have to sell rice. This is the true meaning of the word test. .”
Zhang Tianci stopped talking nonsense, drank it all in one gulp, stood up and saluted Xiao Feng: "Brother, let me go home first."
Xiao Feng looked at Zhang Tianci's back, turned around and smiled at Qiao Niang: "Zhang Tianci has left, come here for dinner!"
