"Okay, Master."
Leng Feng and Leng Yu glanced at each other. It goes without saying that the master's move was quite damaging. In addition to not wanting others to know that he also liked snacks, he also occupied a quota in the town's palace. Leng Yunmo would be furious.
It is estimated that the Duke of Laozhen will also suspect that his grandson bought it. As for the imperial merchant Zhou Mansion, he probably will not like this snack. After all, the Zhou Mansion also runs restaurants and pastry shops, so he is not very interested.
On the second day, when the time came, Uncle Chen heard someone knocking on the door. After asking, he learned that he was here to buy potato chips. He immediately took the customer to the side hall to pack the potato chips and settle the bill. When asked about the residence, the other party said Zhenguo Gongfu.
Uncle Chen thought to himself: The Duke of Laozhen was afraid that he would be late and unable to buy it.
"Do you want more fruit peel? Do you want 10 packs according to the old rule?"
Lengfeng originally wanted to ask what the fruit peel is? Afraid that his identity would be exposed, he replied: Just follow the old rules.
"Okay, a total of 2 taels and 100 yuan."
After settling the accounts, Leng Feng used Qing Gong to quickly return to the Second Prince's Mansion. At this time, Leng Yichen had just finished practicing and saw that his subordinates not only bought potato chips, but also other items, including 10 large bags.
"This is fruit peel. Master, please try it."
Leng Yichen took a piece and tasted it: it was sweet and sour, and a bit chewy, but he still felt that the potato chips were to his taste. The concubine and the queen mother probably liked this piece, and would give them some to try in court.
"Tell Leng Yu to buy 10 packs later, and the four of you will each take one pack to taste later." The master treated the four personal guards very well.
"Okay, Master."
Su Lele planned to go to the iron shop today to ask the shop owner to make several large iron plates and pans. We also need to build several ovens.
I heard that the owner of Zhujia Iron Shop in Nancheng District is an honest man, and the iron products he makes are of high quality and the prices are honest.
I don’t know if it can be customized, so Su Lele plans to ask and take a look around Nancheng District.
When she arrived at the Zhujia Iron Shop, she saw many people already choosing farm tools, iron pots, knives...
The waiter asked gently: "Girl, what do you want to buy?"
"Can you customize this?"
"This...girl, wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper." After saying that, the waiter went to the blacksmithing place in the backyard.
After a while, a sturdy middle-aged man wearing black linen clothes came over with the waiter: "Girl, do you want to customize it? Do you have the drawings?"
Su Lele told the maid Qiu Yu: "Yes, Qiu Yu, show it to the boss."
"Boss, I plan to make four large long iron plates and two pans. The dimensions are marked on the drawing. Can they be made?"
"It can be done, but it requires a lot of iron and the price will be more expensive."
"It doesn't matter if it's more expensive, as long as it can be made." Su Lele responded readily.
"Okay, I'll get the goods in three days."
Su Lele readily gave the deposit, and after agreeing on a time to pick up the goods, she took her maid Qiu Yu to the dock in Nancheng.
The only wharf in the capital is Hengyun Wharf in Nancheng District. At this time, many ships were docked on the shore. There were many ships coming and going on the river. Many strong men could be seen carrying goods. Boat passengers hurriedly walked to the shore. There were also some shopkeepers shouting and selling goods on the edge of the pier. It was very lively.
Su Lele came to the pier for two purposes.
First, buy seafood. She is craving for seafood. Last time she went shopping at the market, she didn't see any seafood for sale. Second, find out how fast the ship is transporting and how long it takes to transport seafood from the island closest to the capital. She plans to develop some seafood snacks in the future: shredded squid, small fish larvae, grilled shrimp, crispy fish, kelp, Dried seaweed.
Xu Yijiang was looking at the pile of seafood he had caught with a sad expression on his face. Just now he yelled until his mouth was dry, but no one was interested, and his heart was cold. Don't the people in the capital like to eat seafood?
His hometown was originally in Hainan County under Pingzhou Fucheng. His family had made a living by fishing at sea for generations, and their life was pretty good.
But a month ago, his mother was seriously ill. In order to treat her, he and his brother sold their house and several acres of farmland, moved their family to the capital, and now rent in Xicheng District.
His wife is usually responsible for taking care of his mother. He and his second brother Yihe support their daily life by working as porters and odd jobs at the dock. Two days ago, they saw that the family's money was about to run out. There was really no other choice. He and his second brother decided to go back to their old jobs. Then he drove his only unsold property: a small fish boat to Hainan County to catch seafood to sell.
Xu Yihe ran over anxiously and asked, "Brother, haven't you sold it yet? If I had known it, I would have sold it cheaply in Hainan County. How could I know that people in the capital don't like to eat it?"
"Several people said that seafood has a strong fishy smell and is not good for this taste."
Xu Yijiang was already planning to sail back to Hainan County to sell it.
Su Lele walked around the shore without seeing anything, and she felt a little disappointed. Suddenly she heard Qiu Yu nagging: Why do you smell a fishy smell? Looking forward, hey, I finally found it.
"Brother, how do you sell this seafood?"
Xu Yijiang looked at the woman in front of him who was as white as snow, tall and slender, and full of smiles. He said, "Little girl, these shrimps are 15 yuan per catty, miscellaneous fish are 12 yuan per catty, and these flower crabs are 20 yuan per catty." , if you want more, it’s cheaper for you.”
"I've got them all, and your seafood looks quite fresh. Where did you catch it from?"
Seeing that his eldest brother had not yet recovered from the surprise, Xu Yihe responded quickly: "It's fished from Hainan County, a subsidiary of Pingzhou Fucheng, my hometown. It takes two hours to go back and forth."
It takes 4 hours to go back and forth, and 2 hours to go one way. It’s not too far, and we can consider long-term cooperation.
"Girl, you really want them all. To be honest, these seafood are not easy to preserve. If you have ice cubes at home, they can be stored for a few days. You can buy some to taste, but you don't have to ask for them all."
Xu Yijiang was very honest and did not try his best to put in good words because his money was about to run out.
"Thank you for kindly informing me. I've got it all covered, and I want to cooperate with you here. You send a batch of shrimps and fish to Su Mansion in Beicheng District every two days. No matter how big or small, you can collect as much as you like." After charging this price, I will also accept some other seafood in the future.”
The two brothers looked at the girl in front of them like a fairy descending to earth, and said very gratefully: "Girl, thank you so much, I won't charge you for these seafood, you can take them back and eat them."
Su Lele will definitely not get it in vain. The shrimp weighs at least 10 kilograms, the fish is even more, estimated to be around 50 kilograms, and a few flower crabs weigh at least more than 2 kilograms.
"Money must be given. It's not easy for you fishermen, how can I let you work in vain!"
"Thank you...thank you...it's cheaper for you, just give me 1 tael in total."
"I might have to trouble you to send it to Su Mansion." Su Lele also wanted to go to the market.
The two Xu brothers responded loudly: "No problem."
Watching Su Lele leave, the two brothers slapped each other. Is this true?
At this time, birds and doves gathered in the Duke's Mansion.
The Duke of Laozhen took a slender wooden stick and chased Leng Yunmo, his voice was deafening:
"You bastard, you dare to steal the potato chips I bought. Do you think I don't know about it? You dare to go to Su Mansion to buy potato chips in the name of the Zhenguo Palace. No wonder you sneaked into my villa yesterday. Is this true? Be kind!"
"Grandpa, you are wronged! I did not buy it in the name of the government, you must believe me!"
Leng Yunmo was roaring in his heart, that bastard dared to impersonate the name of the Zhenguo government, let me know, let's see how I kill him!
