Seven people from Guo Shisi went back by boat from Xiaqiu Village, took the new canal, and brought many New Year gifts.
The imperial court has ordered a cleanup of the river workers, and those who had deliberately deceived others were arrested.
At the same time, notices were posted in various important places in Nanjing to tell others that there was a Rouge River here. Consider the distance and avoid taking the Yangtze River.
Zhu Wentian stir-fried sugar-roasted chestnuts for another full hour. Seven pots and three pots were pushed to the palace for everyone to share. Two pots are left in the tent for the people in the village to eat, and one pot is delivered to the place that sells box lunches, and then distributed at Fuhua Restaurant next door.
The last pot will be given to the guys who sell beer and Jubiqi, and will be sold to people in other places tomorrow.
The children in the village were eating eggs. After the last pot of chestnuts was fried, the pebbles were still hot. Wet the straw paper with water, add some salt and water to rub the eggs, wrap them in paper and bury them in the pebbles.
When cooked, they become salt-baked eggs, which taste different from boiled eggs.
During dinner, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi came again. The prince asked people to taste the food first, then sent the food back to the princess, and then came back to drink with the mayor.
"Can Chief Zhu Li finish the specific design of the convenience area directly?"
Zhu Biao came with a mission. He found that it would be better to ask Xiaqiu Village directly to find someone else.
"Your Highness, please wait a moment." The chief stood up and entered the tent, then took out a piece of paper with a picture on it.
"Your Highness, please see, there are four rooms in total, one for finding work, one for recruiting workers, and one for buying and selling things."
The headmaster handed over the picture and explained at the same time that the picture showed the layout of the four rooms.
Zhu Biao glanced at him: "Why do we need to separate?"
“If they are not separated, they will become confused, such as those looking for workers and those looking for work, who will ask each other back and forth.
Nanjing has a large population, a lot of businessmen coming and going, and the houses need to be big, considering the cold winter and hot summer.
Wealthy businessmen are unwilling to get together with people looking for work. They are afraid that others will stain their clothes and they dislike the strong smell of sweat in summer. "
"When you have this concern and sell them food, they are unwilling to buy it, let alone drink tea. They have to pay for it if they can't make money."
Zhu Biao thought that it would be really troublesome for a large group of different people to gather together.
“Your Highness, actually once everyone agrees with this place, you can make money by selling information.
Where are the good products? If someone wants them, I'll show you a few for free. If you want to see more comparisons, I'll charge you.
The same is true for sellers. If you are looking for a buyer, you have to pay more, and the free ones are always cheaper.
Some people are even anxious to buy or sell. For an extra sum of money, they post the content in a conspicuous place and write it in big characters.
Later, let alone a conspicuous place, I wanted to pay as if it were posted on the wall.
However, those looking for work do not charge money. They have no money in the first place, so they can provide free boiled water. "
The head of the village told Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi about Hanhan's new method of making money. It was so bad! The heart is so dark!
Sure enough, the two brothers were dumbfounded. Why did they still charge money when others came over and asked them what they needed and what they wanted to sell?
"Zhu Lichang, would you do it if it were you?" Zhu Ping felt that if he were like this, he would have the desire to kill.
"If Xiaqiu Village is in a hurry, you can pay for it. That's what I said. You can make money in this way, but you don't necessarily need to make money in this way."
The director never thought about making money from this. The news Hanhan said was money, and he could make a fortune by selling the news.
So he went on to say: "If there is a place like this in every county in the Ming Dynasty, then the urgent report from the court will be passed on and then sold.
Merchants know where the goods are lacking and where the goods are. They buy them first, transport them and sell them. Is the money spent on buying information worth it?
After mastering this information, the imperial court knew the situation of the products in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. Wherever there was a shortage of things, the imperial court ordered the transportation.
If the rice is expensive, you will sell, if the grain is cheap, you will buy. It is more flexible than Changpingcang. People not only need food, but also need other things. "
The two brothers stopped moving again. They had never thought of a convenient place, but there were more things hidden behind it.
Zhu Ming took a sip of wine and calmed down his shock: "According to this, selling money seems to be no problem. Can our business be used?"
When he thought about the business he had done in partnership with Xiaqiu Village, it seemed that he didn't just buy low and sell high, but also did extra processing.
"Your Highness King Qin, it's time for the Drunken Crab to go on the market. This can make money."
The headman talked about a business. The crabs caught at the lake in the autumn used a lot of jars and materials.
The Chinese New Year is almost here, it’s time to sell it for money, why not keep it until next year? All broken.
"Sell it, brother, the princess can't eat it." Zhu Xi did not forget to remind the boss.
"Thank you, second brother." Zhu Biao naturally knew that pregnant women were not allowed to eat drunken crabs. In fact, there was no need to worry about it. Xiaqiu Village was here and they would prepare meals for pregnant women every day.
There are four pregnant women with big bellies in Xiaqiu Village, and there are also pregnant women who are not obviously pregnant, and they will provide food specially.
It is impossible for Xiaqiu Village to make mistakes when it comes to food. Even the clothes and shoes worn by pregnant women in the village are different from others, and the palace has already followed suit.
Maternity clothes give people a loose and comfortable feeling. At the same time, they cover the big belly and make the pregnant woman look like a baby.
…
It’s the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, four days before New Year’s Eve. Counting today, there will be no thirty children this year.
The price of fresh vegetables in Xiaqiu Village has been reduced by fifty cents per catty, and as many as can be picked that day are sold as soon as they are delivered.
Drunken crab is also on the market. In the whole of Nanjing, no one will go to any famous restaurant if it cannot serve drunk crab.
Including Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion, as well as Zhenjiang Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Changzhou Mansion, and Hangzhou Mansion on the lower reaches of the Yangtze River next to Nanjing Yingtian Mansion, drunken crabs are all sold.
In order to make more money, Zhu Xi used his connections in the palace to send ships to and from the imperial court to deliver goods, and gave some extra money to the sergeants. This was proposed by Xiaqiu Village.
By the way, I helped Xiaqiu Village sell vegetables to Zhenjiang Prefecture and Yangzhou Prefecture. The price was 500 yuan per catty, and the quantity was limited.
Drunken crabs are divided into four grades according to their size. The cheapest one costs 40 cents, and the most expensive one costs 800 cents.
Tell the buyer that after opening the jar, it should be eaten within two days. If the jar is not opened, it will last until February.
They usually buy it from restaurants, contact distinguished customers, and open a jar to sell separately. The 800-yuan one is particularly large.
Anyway, no matter which kind it is, eating is no longer a crab. Who in the ordinary family is willing to spend a month's income to buy a big crab?
Not even those who earn 40 cents. Those who earn 20 to 30 cents a day still have to support their families.
"Hanhan, do you think I'm awesome? We've made a profit. Before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we can sell all the drunken crabs.
Now there is only the Beiyuan war to fight, other places are becoming more stable, and merchants are making more money.
The heroes of the previous war also had rich families. Unfortunately, the Yi people didn't like drunken crabs very much, otherwise they would sell them to them. "
Zhu Fang came over. He didn't want to chat with others and just wanted to share with Hanhan.
"Sell, more, eh! Hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian was not surprised at all that the drunken crabs were selling well. There were so many mansions around, and rich people could afford them.
He is now thinking about how to spend the money he earned. Don't keep it in your hands, which is a waste of money.
