Shenshi, Chang'an East City, Huaxia Vegetable Shop
Qin Ming's carriage slowly stopped in front of the Huaxia Vegetable Shop.
When Qin Ming got off the carriage and looked at his shop, he found that the Huaxia Vegetable Shop was empty, and he couldn't help but have a puzzled expression on his face.
"Did you set the price of vegetables too high?"
"Is it causing the vegetables to become unsalable?"
"Can't you?"
"Fifty cents per pound should be something that the powerful and wealthy businessmen of Chang'an can afford, right?"
When Qin Ming was puzzled, Qin Da, who had been standing by the door, saw Qin Ming, who had just gotten off the car, his eyes lit up, he ran to Qin Ming and shouted respectfully
"Sir, you are here."
Qin Ming looked at Qin Da and said doubtfully:
"Qin Da, what's going on? Is business not good?"
Qin Da looked at Qin Ming's confused eyes and said excitedly:
"Sir, our business is very good, but all the vegetables were sold out in one morning!"
Qin Ming couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this. Poverty really limits my imagination.
He looked at Qin Da steadily and confirmed again:
"This is sold out. I remember that in the past two days, we transported at least tens of thousands of kilograms of vegetables to the shop, right?"
Qin Da nodded affirmatively and said excitedly:
"Yes, sir, just after noon, all the vegetables are sold out."
"Many people surrounded our shop because they came late and didn't buy anything."
"Our shop was almost demolished. In the end, Young Master Cheng and the steward of the Hejian County Prince's Mansion stepped forward and those people dispersed."
After Qin Ming confirmed with his confidants again, he was sure that the people of Chang'an were not short of money.
Without further delay, he hurriedly entered the store.
At this time, the store lobby was packed with about ten people sitting there.
Most of these people are tenants of Zhuangzi. Uncle Huang recruited them from Zhuangzi into the shop after he bought the shop.
In addition to these hired workers, there were also Uncle Huang, Huang Hu, and the young father-in-law Cheng Chumo sitting in the lobby.
At this time, Cheng Chumo was in a weird state. He was almost lying on the chair, his hand still stroking his stomach back and forth.
She looked like a pregnant woman.
As soon as Qin Ming entered, Uncle Huang and others stood up one after another, their faces all flushed.
"Hello, sir."
"Hello, sir."
"Hello, Mr. Qin."
.....
"Brother, are you done with your work?"
Qin Mingze smiled and nodded to everyone, then silently said to Cheng Chu:
"Brother Cheng, please wait for me in the lobby for a while. I'll finish handling the matters here and then go back with you."
Cheng Chumo gained a lot of experience today. Not only did he see fresh vegetables in the winter, but he also saw the real rich people in Chang'an.
Good guy, someone actually bought hundreds of kilograms of vegetables that cost fifty cents a pound.
The tens of thousands of kilograms of vegetables and eggs in this store were sold out in just half an hour after he arrived at the store.
This also made him lament that there were too many rich people in Chang'an City.
Of course, his visit was not in vain. While gaining knowledge, he also ate a lot of courgettes.
He didn't know the exact number himself, but there must be at least a dozen.
This can't be blamed on him, mainly because since the beginning of winter, the family has not had many fresh vegetables.
The only few times they were given by the palace, the royal family only had warm soup (later Huaqing Pool), which could grow some fresh vegetables in this cold weather.
Cheng Chumo thought about it, fifty cents per catty was indeed not expensive. Brother Qin's shop is doing well, as it should be.
Today is the first day the shop opens. Brother Qin will definitely have to tell the shopkeeper a few words, so it doesn't matter if he waits a little longer.
Thinking of this, Cheng Chumo waved his hand towards Qin Ming and said:
"Brother Qin, you work first, I'll wait for you."
"Well, thank you for your understanding, Brother Cheng."
After saying that, he looked at Uncle Huang.
Uncle Huang has been a housekeeper in the Qin Mansion for many years, so he naturally recognized the young master and wanted to talk to him alone.
It happened that he also wanted to report today's events to the young master, so he said:
"Sir, come with me."
After speaking, Uncle Huang took Qin Ming to a room in the backyard.
After entering the room, Qin Ming sat on the main seat and asked:
"Uncle Huang, thank you for your hard work today. Stop standing and sit down over there."
After speaking, Qin Ming pointed to the chair opposite.
After Uncle Huang entered the door, he stood respectfully in the room.
Today has also refreshed his understanding of the young master. When Zhang Jiaoxi, who came to deliver vegetables early in the morning, told him that the young master would set the price of vegetables to fifty cents per catty.
He couldn't wait to rush back to Qinjiazhuang to see if the young master was crazy.
At fifty cents a pound, only a fool would buy it.
But he was just a housekeeper after all, so he could only bite the bullet and sell it at the price the young master said.
He thought at that time that even if he was regarded as a madman by others, he would admit it.
What he never expected was that there were so many fools in Chang'an.
The store opened after half an hour of silence.
Nearly 20,000 kilograms of vegetables were sold out in just over an hour.
This made him feel that he had never seen the world.
The young master must be far-sighted. Otherwise, as he originally thought, ten cents per catty would mean that the family would make less money.
In addition, he did not expect that the young master would actually have a friendship with the young master of Duke Lu's mansion.
Like the prince of Hejian County and the young prince of Duke Lu's mansion.
This is all, he is a little housekeeper, and it is difficult for him to meet such a person in heaven.
If it weren't for Young Master Cheng, he and Butler Liu from the Hejian County Prince's Mansion would be here today.
He really didn't know how to spend those servants and housekeepers of powerful families who couldn't buy food in Chang'an City.
And whether it's the shop, the booming business, or these powerful people.
By the way, there is also a Ximeng Tower that is being renovated. Shopkeeper Guo said that it was a business done by the young master and the Prince of Hejian County together.
These are all obtained by the young master through his own ability.
Seeing the young master's calm and composed appearance at this time, he became more and more respectful to the young master.
But I can't help but think in my heart, Master, you hide it too deeply.
However, Uncle Huang said respectfully:
"Thank you, sir."
When Qin Ming saw Uncle Huang sitting down, he asked:
"Uncle Huang, how much did our shop sell for today?"
Huang Bo heard this and replied respectfully:
"Back to the young master, the accountant who came to the house just now has done the counting. A total of 1,100 guan was sold today."
Qin Ming was not too surprised when he heard this. He nodded and continued:
"Well, okay, tell the accountant to record the accounts. From now on, in the shop, after excluding daily shop expenses and taxes paid to the court, 30% of the remaining income will be kept."
"Ten percent will be used to purchase necessities for our village. Twenty percent will be temporarily stored in the store. Don't touch it. It will be given to Prince Hejian and Mr. Li in the future."
"Let Uncle Zhang's transportation team transport the remaining 70% back to Zhuangzi."
When Uncle Huang heard this, he felt at ease. It seemed that Prince Hejian and Mr. Li's family both had shops.
"Okay, sir."
