"Cough cough cough cough."
The young man cleared his throat and tried his best to look innocent and honest, "The workshop in Anshui County that the big shopkeeper mentioned is also ours."
The big shopkeeper sitting on the high chair widened his eyes.
"If the shopkeeper insists that Anshui County's cured meat is delicious, he can also transport it." Zheng Ruqian stretched out two fingers, "We also undertake the transportation of goods and only charge 20% of the transportation fee for the goods. What do you think?"
It's a pity that the brother and sister were busy in the workshop and didn't have time to arrange for people to transport the things.
Zheng Ruqian, the boss, could only sacrifice his own life for justice and take action personally.
He was so full of pride that he didn't notice that the expression of the big shopkeeper opposite him changed from shock to disbelief, then to confusion, and finally to unwillingness.
"Two taels of silver..." the big shopkeeper murmured angrily, "Even in Fengjing, there is nothing so expensive."
Actually there is.
For example, lychees are shipped from the south every May and June, and each one is worth thousands of gold.
The ancients said, "When a concubine rides on the earth and laughs, no one knows it is a lychee." This also casts a more precious veil on lychees, making Fengjing a craze for "eating lychees" every hot summer.
Rich people not only eat for themselves, but also invite others to eat, in order to show their financial strength and raise their wrists so that others dare not look down upon them.
The reason why cured meat makes people feel that it is not worthy of its high price is because the price of pork is low and it is not rare enough.
But Zheng Ruqian did not regret raising the price at all.
The rent and wages in Anshui County are less than half of those in Fengjing. Cured meat can be sold for five hundred coins, so why can't it be sold at a higher price in Fengjing.
However, two taels of silver was indeed a bit too high. Seeing the heartache and confusion on the head shopkeeper's brow, Zheng Ruqian turned around and winked at his sister.
Jiang Sheng understood.
The little girl raised her head and asked innocently and ignorantly, "Second brother, do you have to sell it for two taels of silver? Can you pay less to see how distressed my uncle is?"
The big shopkeeper was startled and quickly calmed down his expression, suspecting that his emotions were too extroverted.
"Cheap? How come it's so cheap?" Zheng Ruqian puffed his beard and stared, "We also need to make cured meat at a cost. With so many people to feed, it's not even cheap."
"But..." Jiang Sheng shook his arm, "Just make it a little cheaper for uncle, just a little, a little."
Zheng Ruqian's expression was very difficult, and he was at war with himself. He seemed to want to lower the price, but he was reluctant to do so.
The big shopkeeper opposite had his heart in his throat for no apparent reason.
After a while, Zheng Ruqian finally made up his mind, "It's at most five hundred cents cheaper. If you want it, don't let it go."
A pound of cured meat costing two taels and a pound, after deducting the five hundred cents, is one tael and a half, which is equivalent to a one-third cheaper price, and anyone would be proud of it.
The big shopkeeper stood up almost immediately, stretched out his hand and said, "Don't worry, little friend, let's discuss it carefully."
Half an hour later.
Zheng Ruqian held the deed with the scent of ink in his hand, looking up and down, admiring it from left to right.
Although he does not have the literary talent of his elder brother, he relies on a literary star every day, and it is difficult to become illiterate.
At least he could understand all the words on the deed. After confirming that there was no trap, Zheng Ruqian and the big shopkeeper signed and pledged at the same time, selling the cured meat to Youranju at one and a half price, with a monthly supply of at least 200 kilograms.
After going to the Yamen and crossing Ming Road, the contract will officially come into effect, becoming an agreement and a binding binding on both parties.
"You two little friends, please supply goods to Youranju in a timely manner." The big shopkeeper smiled. He still did not treat the two brothers and sisters equally, but at least he was no longer condescending. "If there are any new goods, just send them over."
Zheng Ruqian instantly thought of Aunt Zhang's white water.
But Jiang Sheng only tugged at the corner of his clothes and made him swallow all his words.
On the way back.
Zheng Ruqian couldn't help but ask, "Why not sell Baishuishui to Youranju? It will definitely be welcomed by the people of Fengjing."
There is no shortage of rich people in Fengjing. As long as there is a strange enough gimmick, even if it is a bowl of pure white water, people will flock to it.
What's more, Aunt Zhang's white water has heaven and earth in it, which is delicious enough.
But Jiang Sheng had other ideas.
This was the little girl's second idea after the workshop.
"Second brother, Bai Shui Shui is made by my aunt." Jiang Sheng considered it and said, "I remember she said before that she wanted to open a shop of her own."
Not selling white water without authorization is a sign of respect for Aunt Zhang.
Supporting Aunt Zhang to open a shop is Jiang Sheng's gift to this kind woman.
Everyone should bravely run towards the life of their dreams, brothers should be so, Xiao Jiang Sheng should be so, and of course Aunt Zhang should be too.
The carriage was still clattering along, and there were vendors clamoring outside.
The tip of Zheng Ruqian's nose was slightly sour, and he stretched out his hand to rub the little girl's head, "How could I have such a kind sister in my life?"
Jiang Sheng grinned, "I am also very lucky to have such good brothers."
Being able to meet each other is God's arrangement.
And meeting you is the greatest luck.
It was already dark when we returned to the courtyard.
The brothers were sitting in twos and threes. Although they were busy with their own business, they all glanced at the door from the corner of their eyes.
After finally seeing the bouncing little Jiang Sheng, their hearts dropped slightly.
Seeing the serious Zheng Ruqian again, I completely put my heart back in my stomach.
Fengjing is different from Anshui County. This city is too big and prosperous, with too many wealthy families, and too many people who cannot be offended.
Although Chang Yan sneered at these, he had to admit that the six brothers and sisters now were existences that big shots could easily kill.
Even if Xu Mo is a Jie Yuan.
In Anshui County, even the county magistrate is concerned about his status, but in Fengjing, he is not ranked at all.
Fengjing's Jieyuan was not fifty but thirty, not to mention there were more tribute students, Jinshi, and various dignitaries.
Speaking of this, Chang Yan suddenly remembered the agreement between the former Sheriff and Xu Mo.
He looked over calmly, "Brother, have you paid homage to Mr. Dou?"
The former county governor's surname was Dou.
Xu Mo put down the ancient book and thought about it for a moment before saying, "Not yet."
It means that I will visit in the future, but it is not convenient at the moment.
What could be inconvenient?
Chang Yan suddenly thought of Zhu Zhi, Xu Mo's strange change of mood, and the recent strangeness, and his pupils dilated slightly.
The eldest brother may be doing something more dangerous, and he doesn't want to implicate Master Dou, so he avoids it.
the other side.
Jiang Sheng held four big elbows bought from the market and entrusted them to Wen Zhiyun like a treasure. He circled Chang Yan and finally brought them to Xu Mo. "Brother, we have elbows to eat."
Not only the 200 taels of silver for selling the sausages, but also the 50 taels of silver given by Youranju, which together amounted to 250 taels.
Now there is no need to be stretched thin, and there is no need to smack the meaty taste in the green vegetables.
Jiang Sheng was so cruel that he bought four big elbows so that his brothers could enjoy them.
"It looks like the dinner was very sumptuous." Xu Mo smiled very condescendingly.
Jiang Sheng was so happy that he turned to Aunt Zhang with his big elbow in his hand and offered it reverently, "Aunt, braise it in soy sauce."
Zhang Xianglian leaned forward and backward happily.
These kids really love meat.
"Okay, okay, let's braise it for you." She took the elbow, took out the machete, and went to the kitchen to burn hair and scrape oil.
Jiang Sheng followed closely, not forgetting to drag Zheng Ruqian and Wen Zhiyun along with him.
Home with my sister is always so happy.
Chang Yan raised the corner of his mouth and quickly glanced at Xu Mo, "Brother is afraid of hurting Mr. Dou, but isn't he afraid of hurting our brothers and sisters?"
