Even if he bought all the fish, let alone a few fish, Yun Chao would not tell the fat shopkeeper how to make squirrel fish.
After arriving in the Wu Dynasty, Yun Chao truly realized what knowledge is wealth. As a poor man with only four walls, his ability to escape from a life of abject poverty all depended on the knowledge in his mind. How could he teach it to others so easily?
Moreover, if he takes out too many things at once, with Yun Chao's current abilities, he may not be able to keep them and cause big trouble.
"Ah ha, I don't know how to make squirrel fish. I just ate it a few times when I was in Bianliang, Tokyo. It is said that my ancestor learned it when he was the imperial cook for Wu Zetian..."
The fat shopkeeper was stunned by Yun Chao. Isn't this kid a mud-legged guy from the countryside? How come he has eaten at the Bianliang Restaurant in Tokyo? Could it be that he is a child of some down-and-out family?
The fat shopkeeper had suspected that Yun Chao was talking nonsense, but what he said was true and vivid. Not only did he explain the characteristics of the squirrel fish, he also described Bianliang, Tokyo, vividly. If Yun Chao had never been there, the fat shopkeeper himself didn't even think about it. believe.
Yun Chao had never been to Bianliang, Tokyo. He had only heard of the name. As for why he could say it so vividly, no need to ask. Of course, he made it up based on scenes from previous costume movies and TV series.
Not sure where Yun Chao came from, the fat shopkeeper didn't dare to bully others easily, so he could only take his time and talk about it later.
I couldn't learn how to cook squirrel fish, but I couldn't let go of several baskets of big and fat fresh fish. It was a cold day and the river was frozen, so it was hard to find fresh fish.
After some haggling, in the end, the fat shopkeeper bought all the fish for ten taels of silver, which was the same as Yun Chao's initial price, which was twice as high as Yun Chao's psychological price. A pound of fish was almost fifty taels. Money.
Compared with a pound of pork worth a hundred cents, it seemed that Yun Chao had made a loss.
However, you must know that this is the wholesale price, not the retail price on the market.
The wholesale price is fifty cents per catty, and when it is sold in the market, it can be sold for seventy or eighty cents per catty.
If it weren't for the cold weather and difficulty in fishing, Yunchao wouldn't be able to sell it at such a high price.
As for why Yunchao doesn’t retail?
The reasons are very simple. First, retail sales require a lot of time, and second, ordinary people generally do not buy fish.
Like the people in Wolong Village, the people in the city don't know how to cook fish.
However, for the chef at the Lion House, cooking fish is a piece of cake. Although he can't make the squirrel fish that Yun Chao said, he can still make the fish delicious and there is no need for him to worry about the ancients.
Yun Chao's series of tricks made Wang Shitou dumbfounded.
At that time, at the city gate, Yun Chao spent one tael of silver to buy the fish from the Lai brothers. He still felt that Yun Chao had suffered a loss.
But now it seems that not only did I not lose money, but I also made a lot of money!
One tael of silver changes hands and becomes ten taels. When did silver become so easy to earn?
That day, Yun Chao only asked Lai Zhicheng fifty taels of silver to teach him how to fish. Shitou thought Yun Chao was a waste of money.
Now it seems that Yun Chao is not a prodigal, he is too wise!
The Lai family had been busy all day and only made one tael of silver. Yun Chao made nine taels of silver in one move, and he didn't know who suffered the loss!
In addition to being amazed, Shitou only admired Yun Chao and was not jealous at all.
The reason is simple, he can't do this kind of business.
Not only was Wang Shitou unable to do it, but no one in Wolong Village could do it, including Muramasa Yori Zhicheng.
Shitou finally understood that the main reason why Yun Chao was able to make money was because he could convince even the fat shopkeeper who was so awesome.
If it were the Lai brothers who looked like bears, it would be strange not to be tricked to death by this shrewd fat shopkeeper!
When Yun Chao left, the fat shopkeeper not only escorted him out personally, but also repeatedly told him that if there were such big fish in the future, the Lion House would take as many as they had!
The pace of life in the Wu Dynasty was very slow, and there was a serious lack of entertainment activities. Yunchao's ox cart parked in front of the Lion Tower for so long, it had already attracted many passers-by to watch.
Fortunately, Yun Chao and the fat shopkeeper conducted the transaction in the building, otherwise it might have caused some trouble.
Seeing the fat shopkeeper of the Lion House personally seeing Yun Chao out of the house with such a good attitude, the crowd of spectators were all surprised.
When had I ever seen a fat and powerful shopkeeper treat a fish vendor like this? It seems that this guy’s identity is not simple!
Yun Chao waved to a little man selling steamed buns across the street.
"Xiao Langjun, do you want to buy steamed buns?"
The little man was from Wuhan University where Yun Chao bought steamed buns last time. When he saw Yun Chao waving at him, he thought he was going to buy steamed buns and walked over carrying a load.
"Get in the car, I have something to tell you."
"Get in the car?" Wu Da was confused and didn't know what Yun Chao wanted to do.
"Look what this is..." Yun Chao opened a bamboo basket and revealed the contents.
"Steamed buns? So many?"
Wu Da was stunned, looking at the basket full of big white steamed buns, wondering what kind of medicine Yun Chao was selling in the gourd.
So, Wu Da accidentally got into Yun Chao's oxcart. This guy packed so many steamed buns. Could it be that he also wanted to sell steamed buns?
Yun Chao asked Shi Tou to drive the car to a secluded place on East Street and took a steamed bun to Wuhan University.
Wu Da was stunned when he tasted it. Is this a steamed bun?
So fluffy and soft!
Fragrant and sweet!
White and big!
It's better than my wife's...my wife's steamed buns!
"Xiao Langjun, are you...are you going to sell steamed buns too?"
Wu Da is ugly but not stupid. Yun Chao's steamed buns are so delicious. If someone came to be his competitor, his steamed buns would be sold at a loss!
Yun Chao did not directly answer Wu Da's question, but chuckled: "Boss Wu, do you think I can make money if I also sell steamed buns?"
Wuhan University wants to say no, so get out of here.
However, when the words came to my lips, I couldn't say them out no matter what.
There is no way, Wu Da is an honest man, even if he wants to kill Yun Chao, he can't say it out loud.
Wu Da's face was originally dark, but now it is even darker, darker than the bottom of a pot.
Yun Chao didn't dare to joke anymore. What if this guy gets angry and waits for his brother Wu Er to come back and settle the score with him?
"Boss Wu, I'll sell you these steamed buns for three cents each. Do you want them?"
"Three pennies each?"
"Yes, it's three cents. Isn't this kind of steamed bun worth three cents?"
"It's worth it, but I can't ask for that much."
Wu Da understands that this guy wants to sell all the steamed buns to himself. If he doesn’t buy them, he will sell them himself. He’s blackmailing people!
Yun Chao shook his head: "Boss Wu, my steamed buns are not ordinary steamed buns, they are steamed buns with special spices. If sold at retail, they cost at least four cents each. Do you understand?"
"this……"
Wuhan University understands, wholesale and retail, who doesn’t know.
However, Wuhan University was not sure whether anyone would buy Yun Chao's steamed buns for four cents each, so they did not dare to agree easily.
