Shopkeeper Zhao didn't know how much white sugar Yunchao had, thinking that such a rare thing must not be available in large quantities.
In order to monopolize the market in Qingyang County, they simply set a high price.
"Five coins per catty, young man, what do you think?"
Yun Chao shook his head: "Shopkeeper Zhao, to tell you the truth, I bought this white sugar from a big food merchant with great difficulty. The purchase price is only one tael of silver. You can do whatever you want."
Five coins per pound?
Are you kidding me about traveling back in time? It’s true that Yunchao’s brown sugar costs 200 silver per pound. However, excluding labor, freight, filtered impurities, and consumption during the purification process, the cost price of a pound of white sugar is close to four silver coins. , sell it for five cents, and he still earns a dime. Isn’t the technology patent a cost?
Shopkeeper Zhao hesitated.
Selling medicines can certainly make money, but the purchase price is too high, which will inevitably affect profit margins.
The profit margin is smaller, and the money will naturally be less.
"Young gentleman, you also know that we medical practitioners are kind-hearted and cannot bear to see patients suffer. Many times we don't make any money selling medicines. We would rather sell medicines to dust, and hope that there will be no suffering in the world. What do you think?"
Yun Chao curled his lips, Comrade Zhao is a thief, he actually knows how to occupy the moral high ground, you think I don't know, those precious medicinal materials of yours are not for the poor at all.
During the Dawu Dynasty, poor people simply could not afford medical treatment.
Even if you grit your teeth and grab side medicines, most of them are the cheapest medicinal materials.
Don’t even think about precious medicinal materials such as sugar and wild ginseng. Even if you sell them, they won’t be worth that much!
"Shopkeeper Zhao, what you said is so good. I admire your noble sentiments so much. Let's do this. You can't do all the good things by yourself. I only charge a cost price and shipping fee, which is only one or two yuan per pound. How about selling it to you?"
Shopkeeper Zhao’s eyelids twitched. He’s really a little fox. I, Old Zhao, have taken out my parents’ heart as a doctor, but you’re still holding on to the price. Is that interesting?
"Xiao Langjun is a true gentleman! Since you agree with my opinion, let's work together to benefit the people, and at the same time, we will also do good deeds for ourselves. You entered with one tael of silver, then we will sell it in my pharmacy for one tael of silver." , how much will I pay you for selling it, and I won’t make any money, what do you think?”
"Farewell!"
Yun Chao turned around and left. "I won't play with you anymore. Not only will I not let you make money, but you will also have to pledge the goods first. You will be charged for whatever you sell. Do you think I am being taken advantage of?"
Looking at Yun Chao's expression, shopkeeper Zhao knew that the deception had failed: "Young gentleman, please go slowly. We have something to talk about. If business cannot be done with justice, why should we be so angry?"
Yun Chao rolled his eyes. At this time, you knew it was a deal. Where was that compassionate face just now?
Too lazy to play chat with the old fox anymore: "Shopkeeper Zhao, I will give you a final price. If you think it is high, forget it. One tael, one coin per pound, what do you think?"
"Okay, young man, you are really decisive. Just as you said, one tael, one penny, a pound, whatever you have, I will take it all!"
Yun Chao laughed dumbly: "Shopkeeper Zhao, you want them all? Are you sure?"
"Yes, I will ask for as much as you have! Hey, young gentleman, we have agreed that you are not allowed to just sit down and raise the price when you see that I want more!"
Yun Chao laughed and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Zhao. I am the most trustworthy person. I will get whatever I say. Whoever doesn't keep his word is the eggplant!"
Shopkeeper Zhao rolled his eyes. What a mess. Talking without counting is like an eggplant. How miserable it would be if a person grew up like an eggplant...
Well, shopkeeper Zhao was taken directly to the eggplant field by Yun Chao. He was busy wondering what a person would look like when he grew into an eggplant. He didn't pay attention. When he woke up again, he saw that Yun Chao had already asked his men to carry in several sacks!
"this……"
Looking at the four sacks lined up on the counter in front of him, Shopkeeper Zhao had a bad feeling.
Coupled with Yun Chao's smile that looked like he had stolen a chicken, shopkeeper Zhao felt that he might be in trouble today!
Sure enough, when he hesitated to open one of the sacks, his mouth immediately formed an "O" shape in shock, and he couldn't close it for a long time!
"Xiao Langjun... you... you..."
Several sacks were opened one by one...
Shopkeeper Zhao turned into a wooden statue and was stunned for three minutes before he recovered.
"Xiao...Xiao Langjun, this...this is too much, I...I really..."
Halfway through his words, shopkeeper Zhao couldn't continue. He remembered clearly what Yun Chao said just now, whoever doesn't keep his words is an eggplant.
Good guy, no wonder the little fox said something so outrageous, it turned out to be waiting for me here!
Shopkeeper Zhao felt shuddering at the thought of turning into an eggplant after he failed to keep his words.
Businessmen in ancient times generally focused on credibility. Although shopkeeper Zhao didn't swear just now, he had already said how much he wanted. Now that his tongue is cold, he breaks his promise and makes money. It's really a shame to lose face.
"Haha, shopkeeper Zhao, I'm kidding you. You can have as much or as little as you want, no need to force it!"
Yun Chao felt much better when he saw that shopkeeper Zhao was frustrated. He asked you, old boy, to show off. Do you dare to pretend anymore?
Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Zhao misunderstood and thought that Yun Chao was mocking him. His old face turned red: "Xiao Langjun, what are you talking about? Go out and ask around. Who doesn't know in Qingyang County? I, Old Zhao, speak the most Reputation, every spit and nail, isn't worth a few hundred taels of silver, and I, Old Zhao, can still afford it!"
Yun Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, why was he so anxious: "Shopkeeper Zhao, don't be angry, I'm joking with you, do what you can, do what you can..."
When Shopkeeper Zhao heard this, he became even more excited: "Little Master, do you look down on me, Old Zhao, and think that I can't even get out a few hundred taels of silver?"
Yun Chao spread his hands, "Come on, love me, I can't save you!"
Yun Chao tried to persuade him a few more times, but the more he tried to persuade Shopkeeper Zhao, the angrier he became. In the end, Yun Chao just stopped talking and said whatever he wanted!
Three hundred kilograms of brown sugar, Yun Chao purified a total of two hundred kilograms of white sugar, and received more than two hundred taels of silver. Until he left the drug store, the few boys who followed Yun Chao could not wake up.
I knew sugar was valuable, but I never thought it was so valuable. Just a few bags of sugar were worth more than two hundred taels. Isn’t this money so easy to earn?
Especially the few guys who had seen Yun Chao buying brown sugar at Nanhuo Shop knew that all the white sugar was processed by Yun Chao using brown sugar.
If I remember correctly, the brown sugar I bought at that time cost 200 yuan per pound. Now it has become white sugar, which has doubled several times. Is this too exaggerated?
While being surprised, the few boys who knew the truth also admired Yun Chao even more.
No wonder people in the village say that Brother Chao has descended from the stars, reincarnated as a living Bodhisattva, turned brown sugar into white sugar, and turned two hundred coins into one tael or one cent. How could ordinary people have such magical means!
Originally, Yun Chao's plan was to go straight into the tiger's den and go directly to the Lion Tower to find out.
However, when I was chatting with shopkeeper Zhao just now, I overheard him say that the Lion House seemed to have recruited a lot of new people recently, and they looked a little fierce and not like kind people.
So, Yun Chao changed his mind: "Mancang, go to Cross Street and call Wu Da. Keep the noise low and don't make any noise. Do you understand?"
