The best-quality red dates, hawthorns, and chestnuts in the entire Henan County were brought to Fengjing by the locals and brought to Fengjing with great difficulty, but they were called pickled things.
Zheng Ruqian was at a loss for a moment.
It wasn't until Jiang Sheng tugged on his wrist and looked over with worried eyes that he came back to his senses.
I had known that people in Fengjing were proud. I had experienced it when I rented a house, and experienced it again when I was selling preserved meat. I thought that after reaching a cooperation, we could talk to each other on an equal footing, but I didn't expect that people would not think highly of them at all.
In the past, ten-year-old Zheng Ruqian would have begged humbly, would have approached him with a playful smile, and would have tried every means to sell it to Youranju.
But the thirteen-year-old Zheng Ruqian was angry first, then grabbed his sister's hand and left decisively.
The boss of Youranju was slightly stunned, and the younger brother next to him said with a bit of regret, "The red dates are big and round, really good..."
But what doesn't Fengjing have?
Zhengxin's dates are good, and Yanchuan's dates are not bad either. As for hawthorn and chestnuts, Fengjing has no shortage of them all, so only outsiders take the rotten bits and pieces as treasures.
A clear "chi" sound came from the big shopkeeper behind him, as if he was laughing at their overestimation of their capabilities.
Zheng Ruqian clenched his fists, went in straight, and walked out straight.
Gao Dawan was waiting at the door with a carriage full of goods. His eyes lit up when he saw them coming out. Just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Sheng shook his head.
All the words piled up in my throat.
Zheng Ruqian sat on the carriage and said calmly, "Let's go home."
Gao Dawan is in front, and the two brothers and sisters are behind.
Feeling the carriage moving forward smoothly, Jiang Sheng finally couldn't help but tugged on his brother's sleeves and carefully comforted him, "Second brother, don't be sad. People from Fengjing don't know the goods. If these things are sent to Anshui County, Shopkeeper Hao I don’t know how to be happy.”
Zheng Ruqian laughed, and in turn stroked his sister's little tweet, "Don't worry, I'm not sad."
He just suddenly understood one thing. Youranju could be his business line, but it couldn't be his only business line.
Calculate carefully.
From Xieyang County to Anshui County and then to Fengjing, Zheng Ruqian delivered almost all of his goods to Youranju, and he was used to sending them to Youranju.
He only consigned some dried pickles and beans to a dry goods store in Yunshui County, but they were ignored because the profits were low.
Thanks to the big shopkeeper's blow, Zheng Ruqian began to think about cooperation with other stores, and even thought about opening a dry goods store of his own.
Soon the carriage stopped at the door of the house.
The brother and sister walked into the small courtyard hand in hand. The eldest brother had not finished school yet. Only Wen Zhiyun and Chang Yan came out to greet him. Behind him was Aunt Zhang, holding a plate of pastries in her hand.
"Are you back?" Chang Yan's eyes lit up, "Auntie just made jujube cake. It's just the right time. Do you want to try it?"
After saying that, he took the plate very naturally and sent it to his brother and sister.
Aunt Zhang looked at it with a smile and didn't feel anything was wrong.
Wen Zhiyun tilted his head strangely, always feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't say anything.
Jiang Sheng had already wiped his little hands, grabbed the pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.
Zheng Ruqian was still looking at the broken jujube paste on the plate in a daze, "This is..."
"This is a pastry from Danyang County. There is an eldest sister in the hairpin courtyard workshop whose natal family is in Danyang County. She once told me that it needs to be steamed with glutinous rice noodles and fine jujube paste. You just happened to bring it yesterday The dates were big and fresh, so I gave them a try." Zhang Xianglian pursed her lips and chuckled.
There are many types of noodles on the market.
Whole grains are the cheapest and are what ordinary people eat the most.
The price of refined grains is so high that even if you don’t have some financial resources, you don’t dare to buy it. The Jiang Sheng brothers and sisters also had their first meal of refined noodles when they rented a house in Xieyang County.
The price of glutinous rice noodles is even more expensive, because it can be added to the city wall, and the most expensive one can be sold for more than 100 yuan per catty.
The pastry Jiang Sheng swallowed in two bites was only the size of a fist, and its cost was more than 30 yuan.
In Anshui County, only big families could eat this kind of food, and the landlords only dared to taste it during New Years and holidays.
But this is Fengjing.
It is Fengjing where wealth and wealth are overwhelming, it is Fengjing where there is power, there are dandies everywhere, and there is Fengjing where one can drink a pot of tea with only ten taels of silver.
What are the dozens of pastries worth?
Zheng Ruqian's eyes lit up. He picked up a piece of pastry and put it into his mouth. Feeling the unique flexibility of glutinous rice and the aroma of jujube paste between his lips and teeth, he couldn't help but smile.
Jiang Sheng's anger came from next to Leng Buding, "Second brother, you didn't wash your hands. Auntie told us to be clean. If you don't wash your hands when eating, you will pull out worms when you poop."
Zheng Ruqian, "..."
At some point, Wen Zhiyun brought the basin and Chang Yan brought the handkerchief.
The second brother could only put it in and scrub it clean, and then my sister changed from a fluttering moth with her hands on her hips to a quiet and beautiful butterfly.
The brother and sister tasted the glutinous rice and jujube cake with relish, and it was so sweet.
Even Wen Zhiyun, who had just eaten, swallowed.
Aunt Zhang liked this scene. Seeing that the plate was empty, she turned around hurriedly, "There are still more, there are still more in the pot, they are all open to eat."
Wait until it's almost time to eat.
Zheng Ruqian rubbed his sticky fingertips and asked solemnly, "I heard Jiang Sheng mentioned before that my aunt wants to open a store?"
Zhang Xianglian was stunned for a long time before nodding, "Yes, but it requires too much money."
The money she has earned in the past few years has come from the workshop. She does not need to work like a worker. She is only responsible for checking the finished products and cooking for the children at other times.
Jiang Sheng offered to give her more money, but Zhang Xianglian felt that the work in the workshop was too easy, and she would also eat the food cooked for the children. There was no reason to ask for more money, so she refused.
But in this way, thirty or forty coins a day, which is only ten taels of silver a year, can barely be enough to rent a shop in Fengjing for a year.
But what about labor, materials, and costs? Where does the money come from?
Gradually, Zhang Xianglian hid this idea in her heart and regarded it as inspiration in life.
"It's a bit difficult for my aunt to open a store by herself." Zheng Ruqian sincerely suggested, "If you want to do business here, setting up a stall would be more suitable."
However, Fengjing has strict rules and regulations. Except for festivals celebrated by everyone, those who set up stalls will inevitably be driven away by the Fengtian government officials. If the number of times is frequent, they may even be imprisoned.
Zhang Xianglian also understood and smiled regretfully.
"But I am planning to open a store. If my aunt is interested, she can cooperate with me." Zheng Ruqian suddenly turned around, "I will provide the money, my aunt will provide the people, and we will also occupy a place in Fengjing."
Zhang Xianglian was startled, Jiang Sheng was stunned, Wen Zhiyun had a complicated expression, and Chang Yan was shocked and delighted.
When did the second brother, who was so timid about selling mushrooms that he asked his sister to accompany him, became so ambitious that he wanted to open his own shop and planned to occupy a place in Fengjing?
