"Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Liu? Do you want cabbage, spinach, or cucumber?"
Before dawn the next day, many farmers carried two baskets of fresh vegetables into the city. Of course, there were also some who directly pulled ox carts into the city. With the blessing of cement roads, the speed of the ox carts was naturally very good!
Not surprisingly, the farmers chose Zuixianlou as the first stop for selling vegetables. This was how they used to do it when the bean sprouts first came out.
"Yo~! Lao Hu, come in quickly!"
Zuixian Tower had just opened its doors. Shopkeeper Liu saw Lao Hu bringing dozens of dealers outside and greeted them quickly.
Mr. Liu didn't come today, but his sons did.
"This...! Lao Hu, are all the vegetables growing in your shed?"
As one of several elders under Li Zexuan, Shopkeeper Liu knew that the farmers under Li Zexuan were secretly cultivating vegetables. When he saw the farmers bringing in so many fresh vegetables, Shopkeeper Liu was surprised at first, and then suddenly said.
Lao Hu grinned and said: "Yeah! It has grown to some size, so everyone thought of getting some to Chang'an City first to see if they can be sold!"
"It's easy to sell! It's easy to sell! Of course it's easy to sell!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded quickly and said that when he saw those green cabbages and cucumbers, he couldn't help but get excited, "Ding San! Quick! Get the scale and weigh all these vegetables~!" "
Shopkeeper Liu didn't even ask about the price, he just called the waiter over to weigh the dishes. Anyway, these dishes have been "processed" by their Zuixianlou, and they will definitely be sold at sky-high prices. As long as the dealers' asking prices are not too outrageous, then Zuixianlou will You can definitely make a lot of money!
After all the vegetables were weighed, Shopkeeper Liu asked: "Everyone's weight of each dish is recorded on it. Lao Hu, tell me the price of each dish. I will ask the cashier to settle the bill for you now!" "
Zuixianlou is backed by Li Zexuan, and it can be said that it is rich and powerful. Naturally, shopkeeper Liu will not default on the farmers' food money.
Hu Hanyun scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Shopkeeper Liu, you also know that these vegetables are grown in greenhouses, so the cost is much more expensive than growing vegetables in summer... ..”
He was afraid that shopkeeper Liu would misunderstand, so he got vaccinated in advance.
"Haha! No matter how unreasonable Mr. Liu is, he still understands this truth! Lao Hu, just tell me the price. Don't have any scruples. No matter how high it is, Zuixianlou will make money!"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed and waved his hands nonchalantly.
Lao Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "We are discussing these dishes. Shopkeeper Liu, just pay us ten times the summer price!"
Li Zexuan clearly said it was twenty to thirty times, but Hu Hanyun said it was ten times. This was also discussed in private before they came here. Anyway, ten times the price is already very profitable for them. Well, just this trip today has earned back the cost of the greenhouse!
"ten times?"
Shopkeeper Liu frowned, shook his head and said, "Old Hu, you're kidding me again! Green vegetables in winter are so precious, how can they be paid for ten times the price? No matter what, it's twenty times! Ding San, call the cashier to come over and settle the bill. Just settle it at twenty times the price!”
Shopkeeper Liu is also a man who has seen the world. Although Li Zexuan has not told him the "guide price" of greenhouse vegetables, with his sophisticated eyes, how could he not see that Hu Hanyun is deliberately lowering the price to take care of Zuixianlou?
"Ah? I can't do it, I can't do it! Shopkeeper Liu! This dish is not worth the price!"
"Yes! Shopkeeper Liu! Ten times too many!"
Lao Hu and others were shocked and shouted from behind, but shopkeeper Liu went straight to the backyard without looking back.

"Master! Master! Someone in the East Market is selling fresh cucumbers, spinach and water spinach!"
Chongrenfang, Cao family compound.
A maid ran in excitedly and said.
"What? Fresh cucumbers? How is that possible?"
Cao Wendong stood up in shock and didn't believe it.
This maid was the one responsible for buying fruits and vegetables for the Cao family's back cook. Seeing that her master didn't believe it, she almost swore to God, "Master! It's true! I saw it with my own eyes in Dongshi! And there were more than just sellers. There’s one!”
Cao Wendong stared at the basket on the maid's arm, and said angrily: "You saw someone selling cucumbers, but you didn't buy it~? Do you know how rare a cucumber is in this winter? That's just getting money. You can’t even buy it!”
The maid almost cried, "Master, those cucumbers are too expensive, almost thirty times more expensive than summer cucumbers! My maid... My maid dare not buy it!"
Cao Wendong hated iron and said: "Why is it expensive? Is this also called expensive? Go quickly! Let someone carry the money and go quickly! Buy as much as you have for me! I don't know if your master likes cucumbers the most?"
"Yes! Master, your servant will go right now!"
……………………
Cao Wendong's family was not the only one who heard the news. Chang'an City is a place where dignitaries gather. With so many wealthy houses, who doesn't have a servant who is responsible for purchasing vegetables?
A large amount of fresh fruits and vegetables suddenly appeared at the market in winter, which naturally attracted their attention! As a result, countless domestic slaves from wealthy families hurried to the East Market, pulling copper coins in oxcarts. After all, these fresh fruits and vegetables were in short supply, and everyone was afraid that they would be late and unable to buy them!
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I heard from the deacon of the royal kitchen who is purchasing today that there are cucumbers and green vegetables sold in the East Market, and they are all freshly picked!"
In the West Garden of the Imperial Palace, a palace maid hurriedly walked in and said to Queen Changsun.
"Oh~? There are fresh cucumbers on the market?"
Empress Changsun frowned and asked doubtfully: "Is it possible that someone in Wentang Supervisor sold cucumbers to private merchants without authorization to make huge profits~?"
When she thought of this possibility, Queen Changsun's face became a little serious!
The palace maid raised her head and replied: "Your Majesty! No! There are more cucumbers in the East Market than the Warm Tang Supervisor! And the people selling cucumbers are farmers outside the city, even if the Wen Tang Supervisor is willing to sell them to They can’t afford their cucumbers!”
"Oh~? That's even weirder! How can these farmers have the conditions to grow cucumbers in the harsh winter?"
Queen Changsun's mind was full of doubts. At this time, no matter how rich her imagination was, she could not imagine the reason. This is mainly because the farmers under Li Zexuan are very tight-lipped. Greenhouse vegetables are only passed down among the farmers, making it difficult for outsiders to know.
"Mother, the cucumbers sold by farmers are not only fresh and large in quantity, but also very expensive! I heard that a pound of cucumbers costs 600 coins, which ordinary people cannot afford!"
The palace maid said again.
If cucumbers were not too expensive in winter, she would have wanted to buy some to satisfy her craving. After all, after a winter, no one would not want to eat some fresh vegetables.
