Butchers usually go to various villages to collect pigs and sell them at the market. How much knowledge can they gain? When Yun Chao said that he wanted to do business with him, he thought it was some big business, and he immediately gave up.
"No...no way, little brother, how can I do business..."
As he spoke, the butcher waved his hands as if the business was a tiger.
Yun Chao couldn't laugh or cry: "Boss, I just want you to send me a pig every few days. It's not for other business."
"ah?"
When the butcher heard that it was this kind of business, he immediately became excited. He is good at this kind of thing: "Little brother, you scared me to death. You just give away pigs when you give them pigs. Why do you want to do business with me?"
Yun Chao and his party were all wearing unpatched cotton clothes. They were all in high spirits, holding sticks in their hands, and their eyes were shining. They had already become the focus of everyone's attention.
Now I heard the butcher was startled again, and soon a circle of melon-eating people gathered around him.
Yun Chao didn't want to be treated like a monkey, so he stopped talking to the butcher: "Boss, if I ask you to give away a pig every half month, what price do you want?"
"What? Little brother, what are you talking about? I'll give you a pig in half a month?"
Not only the butchers, but also many people who eat melons find it incredible.
These days, not to mention eating a pig in half a month, how many people can eat a meal of meat in half a month?
Good guy, this guy shouldn't be a young master from a wealthy family, right?
With Yun Chao's age and his temperament, even if the common people were unaware, they would not mistake him for a housekeeper.
I heard that some wealthy families have servants in groups, who eat oil, wear silk, and urinate in gold toilets. Could it be that I am lucky enough to meet the young master of such a family today?
Even He Yuan, the richest man in Sanshui Town, is not said to be able to eat a pig in half a month. How rich must this young master's family be?
The people who eat melons can think of it, and the meat vendors can naturally think of it. When he talked to Yun Chao again, his tone changed: "Little brother... No, Master, can I ask where I gave you the pig?" ah?"
Be respectful, but you should make it clear what you should say. It is okay to give pigs, but the place where they are given is different, and the asking price is of course different.
In ancient times when transportation was backward, transportation costs accounted for a very large part of the cost. Negotiating prices regardless of distance was just a rogue act.
Yun Chao: "Wolong Village."
"What? Wolong Village?"
Both the butchers and the melon-eating people thought they had heard wrongly.
Who doesn’t know about Wolong Village? It is one of the poorest villages around Sanshui Town. It is so poor that people starve to death every winter. The richest person in the village is Muramasa, who occasionally comes to the town to attend the market. Some people Still know each other.
How could the stingy village chief of Wolong Village raise such a handsome young master?
Besides, it’s impossible for a village official to take in a pig in half a month?
"oh!"
The butcher understood: "Little brother, do you also want to sell meat?"
Okay, just now he was a young master, but when he heard that he might become a competitor, he immediately became a little brother again.
Yun Chao was so angry that he was so verbose: "Just tell me what kind of meat I sell and eat it myself. How much does it cost to send a pig to Wolong Village? If you don't do it, I will find someone else."
"Do it, why don't you do it!"
The meat dealer couldn't see that Yun Chao was lying. Even if he lied, he would do it. If he didn't do it, someone else would do it if he had a grudge against Qian.
Finally, Yun Chao and the butcher reached an agreement to send a pig to Wolong Village every half month.
After it is delivered, the butcher is responsible for killing it, and the price is calculated based on the net weight of the pork. The price is calculated based on the amount of meat, which is eighty cents per pound.
By sending pigs directly to Wolong Village, the butcher does not have to pay taxes, and it does not take up time to sell meat at the market. It is extra money, and he is a regular big customer, so the asking price will of course be cheaper.
Seeing that the meat dealer was still hesitant, Yun Chao knew what he was worried about, so he directly handed over the two taels of silver: "Boss, this is the deposit, and we will calculate it together after the meat is delivered."
This time, the butcher was completely relieved. With these two taels of silver as a base, even if Yun Chao didn't want it, he wouldn't lose money in travel expenses.
Seeing that Yun Chao was so generous, he gave money directly before giving away the pigs, and one payment was two taels. Many melon-eating people were envious.
Especially the hawkers who were selling things wanted to drag Yunchao along and force him to do business with them!
Unfortunately, Yun Chao was not interested in things like bamboo baskets and firewood. Seeing so many people around him, he simply clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, I want to find some skilled carpenters and masons. Where can I find them?"
Upon hearing that Yun Chao was looking for a craftsman, several people in the crowd immediately pushed their way to the front: "This young... young master, I am a stonemason with good skills. If you don't believe me, ask around..."
"Master, I am a carpenter. I have been working for almost thirty years. If you don't believe me, ask everyone. Who doesn't know that I, Carpenter Huang, have the best craftsmanship?"
"Pull him down, you are the only one with the best skills. If you are the best with the skills, then who am I, Carpenter Wang?"
"..."
Yun Chao didn't expect that the craftsmen of the Great Wu Dynasty were so powerful. Didn't they say that technicians in ancient times were all scarce talents? Why did one guy come up with so many talents?
Just when I didn't know what to choose, I suddenly felt someone tugging on my clothes.
Looking back, I saw that it was a meat vendor, and he was winking at me.
Yun Chao understood now that the butcher had something to say to him. It seemed that the deal was a good one, as the butcher actually regarded him as one of his own.
So, Yun Chao clasped his fists again: "Everyone, I want to go shopping now. In half an hour, I will be waiting for you at the entrance of the town. Anyone who is willing to go can come over. I will need to make a selection then. By the way. , If you have any relatives or friends who are willing to go, please let me know."
Seeing that Yun Chao did not agree immediately, the first few people who stood up were a little disappointed. However, Yun Chao and his party were outnumbered and they did not dare to say anything, so they could only agree reluctantly.
After settling the account and paying the money, Yun Chao asked the butcher to put the meat on the bullock cart for him.
The butcher didn't show up either. After placing the meat, he consciously followed Yun Chao and his group.
With the butcher as a guide, Yun Chao's next shopping trip will be much easier. Who has good stuff and who is honest? I need to give him a critique.
…
At the end of Sanshui Town, there is a gambling house.
It's said to be a gambling house, but it's actually just an ordinary farmhouse.
The room was filled with smoke and a group of guys were shouting and playing around with money.
An idle man walked in, lay down and said something in the ear of a strong man with tattoos on his face.
After hearing this, the strong man pushed the table and stood up: "Stop, it's time to work, get ready to work!"
