But even so, there are still many people who are willing to join in and buy, and some businessmen are even willing to deliver goods to the palace without spending any money!
They are willing to do this, on the one hand, they are coveting the gimmick of imperial use, so that they can promote their own products more. On the other hand, the reputation you get and buy is also a talisman for yourself!
In fact, the greed of the eunuchs in the palace is no different from those of high-ranking families, but there is a bottom line, that is, the supply of the palace must be guaranteed! So although they are also willing to swallow up merchants to enrich their own pockets, if this is the case, they will have to withdraw and participate in management, which is simply impossible for eunuchs who have been in the palace for many years!
But if their family members are allowed to manage the business outside the palace, who knows who will get this family property? Therefore, they will leave some bottom line for participating and buying merchants, but they will definitely have to accept the endless blackmail from the eunuchs!
This does not matter to those merchants with backends. The knowledgeable eunuchs will take away part of the profits in an appropriate manner. But to businesses without a backend, these eunuchs are like vampires who knock on the bones and suck out the marrow! Therefore, there are very few small businesses involved in buying and selling, because that means long-term and continuous extortion, and even becoming a worker for eunuchs!
And once the eunuchs get the secret recipe and production process, they will definitely kill them all without hesitation and then sell the secret recipe to other big merchants! Therefore, for small businesses, Hebuy is the road of no return! But now for Zhang Shunping, Hemai is a temporary way to temporarily protect his wealth! He can reach an agreement with other forces during this period, and then he can get rid of and buy this bottomless pit!
After listening to Liu Haojia's words, Zhang Shunping said: "My nephew doesn't know something, and I have thought about joining the joint purchase, but I don't have anything at hand that can impress the palace!"
Father Liu also understood what Liu Haojia meant at this time, and immediately said: "Then didn't you go to the market to look for something that might be useful?"
Zhang Shunping shook his head and said: "To be honest, brother, I have searched all over the market in the past few days, and even sent people to ask around, but there was still nothing that could catch the eye of the palace, so I gave up this idea and concentrated on waiting. Follow the news from Nanjing."
Hearing Zhang Shunping say this, Father Liu felt confident! He sat up straight and pointed at the snacks on the table and said, "You have tried these snacks, what do you think?"
Zhang Shunping didn't react at all at this time, but he still complimented and said: "These snacks are really good and very delicious! I think the snacks in the palace are only of this level!"
Father Liu smiled and said, "You didn't taste anything else from this snack?"
Zhang Shunping couldn't adapt to this sudden change of topic, but he was stunned! He looked at the snacks on the table and thought about it, there was nothing special about the taste he had just tasted!
Because Zhang Shunping came from a wealthy family, many snacks at home were made with honey. In terms of sweetness, it was really on par with invert syrup, so he really couldn't think of anything.
Seeing that Zhang Shunping was stunned, Liu Haojia simply made it clear and said: "Uncle Zhang, these snacks are made with a new type of sugar, so they taste very sweet! I think this new type of sugar is enough to participate and buy! At least from now on In terms of price, it is definitely much cheaper than honey, but the taste is not bad at all!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia turned around and took out two fine porcelain jars and placed them on the table for Zhang Shunping to open. Father Liu thoughtfully handed over a spoon.
Zhang Shunping was completely stunned at this time! He didn't expect to encounter such a thing when he came to pay rent, so he subconsciously opened the first fine porcelain jar, and a rich sweet fragrance instantly hit his nose! It smells a lot like honey, but a little different!
He quickly calmed down and took a closer look, and saw that the jar contained a dark brown viscous liquid. Although he couldn't tell what it was made of, the smell was absolutely tempting! But this is not enough to surprise Zhang Shuixi, because another similar liquid is honey. Many wealthy families reserve large amounts of honey all year round. Come to think of it, this thing in front of you is almost the same as honey!
By the way, when I was a kid, there were often unscrupulous vendors, especially those who carried burdens and sold honey along the streets. They often used inverted syrup made from white sugar to pass it off as honey and make huge profits! At that time, people had little knowledge and how many people were deceived!
After looking at this can, Zhang Shunping was a little disappointed! He originally thought there would be a surprise, but it turned out to be just honey! I think this honey must be a little special, but the palace will definitely not care!
So he calmed down and opened the second jar. This time he was really surprised! I saw that the jar was full of objects that were as fine as snowflakes and as white as cotton. It smelled much sweeter than the white sugar on the market! So he couldn't help but blurt out: "What is this? Sugar at this time? Why is it much more delicate than white sugar!"
Liu Haojia said: "Yes, this is the soft white sugar made by my family according to the secret recipe handed down from our ancestors! It tastes better than white sugar! If you don't believe it, Uncle Zhang can taste it!"
Zhang Shunping has been conquered by Baitang at this time! He has subconsciously felt that this kind of thing is definitely qualified to participate and buy! So he stretched out his spoon and picked out a spoonful of white sugar and put it into his mouth. To his surprise, the white sugar melted in his mouth and instantly filled his entire mouth with sweet flavor! This melting speed was completely different from the white sugar he had eaten before!
At this time, Liu Haojia pointed to another jar and said: "Uncle Zhang has tasted the sugar. Try this syrup again. This one tastes better!"
Zhang Shunping already believed Liu Haojia's words at this time, and immediately picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to wash away the sweetness in his mouth. Then he used the tip of a spoon to mix up a piece of syrup, and he was even more surprised when he saw the long filaments drawn out of the syrup!
He broke the thread and sipped the syrup in his mouth. The feeling of lubrication immediately spreads on the tip of the tongue! Sure enough, this syrup is sweeter and tastes sweeter! However, Zhang Shunping feels that although syrup is not as mellow as honey in terms of taste, in terms of sweetness, it far exceeds honey!
Zhang Shunping couldn't wait to swallow the syrup in his mouth. He didn't even bother to take a sip of the tea, and said eagerly: "What are the names of these two things? I have eaten white sugar, and this sugar is several times better than white sugar in terms of taste. !”
