Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"Young Master Ling, then I'll say it straight."

After sitting down in the main room, the shopkeeper Zhang didn't talk to him, looked at him and went straight to the topic: "To be honest, I launched that cool product after you left yesterday, and the reaction was beyond my imagination. After the peak season, I went to the town in person, and the shopkeeper in the town also expressed great interest. He closed the book to the shopkeeper at the state government overnight, and explained in detail the method of cold products and the purchase of jam. I will pick it up this morning. Upon the handwritten letter from the state treasurer, we decided to launch this cold product in all branches of the state at the same time, so I would like to ask Mr. Ling, can you supply us with a thousand cans within ten days? Then at least a month Guaranteed to have 5,000 cans?"

This data is very huge and scary, and it is their conservative estimate, so he will come here in person. To be honest, he did not expect the chief treasurer of the state capital to take this matter so seriously.

"Yes, yes, but I'm afraid we have to calculate the price in a different way." Ling Jingxuan seemed to have expected this outcome, and then said condensedly.

"What kind of calculation?"

As soon as he heard there was a play, the shopkeeper was decisive and in high spirits. Just at this moment, Ling Jingpeng came in. Ling Jingxuan raised his hand to signal him to take it easy. He raised his head and said to Ling Jingpeng, "Go to the cellar and bring me a jar of jam."

Ling Jingpeng nodded, turned around and walked out. The shopkeeper Zhang was puzzled. When he came back again, he was holding a jar of jam sealed with a white cloth in his hand. Ling Jingxuan took the jam and opened the white cloth and handed it to the shopkeeper. "Yesterday we negotiated a can of one or two silver coins. I thought you didn't want much, but at most a few hundred cans a month, but now your amount has been fully increased tenfold, and it is very likely that you will get more in the future. Turn it up, if you keep using this kind of small jar, I am afraid that the jar will be out of stock soon, as you can see, I am a villager with two children, and it is impossible to run to other places. I bought jars, so I thought about it, this jar can only hold a pound at most, or I can use a big jar to pack it, we will calculate it by pound, if I lose a little, I will charge you a tael or a pound?"

Obviously it is a business without a capital, and he can still say that he is in a state of pain, which is also no one.

"Also, but it's best not to exceed 100 catties per jar. We are going to send it to various restaurants nearby. Too much volume is not easy to distribute. If it is damaged during transportation, it is not bad."

His request was not excessive. Indeed, a pound of a tael was more cost-effective than a can of a tael. The shopkeeper Zhang had no reason to disagree, but their contract was about to be rewritten.

"Don't worry about this, my estimate is 50 catties per jar, which is enough for your distribution, but Mr. Zhang, have you ever thought about selling jam to the outside world?"

He still doesn't know whether the wine can be sold for money. If he wants to make enough money to buy land and build a house in three months, he can only rely on jam. Although the amount given by the shopkeeper Zhang is already amazing, he feels that it is not enough. , After what happened yesterday, he decided to develop in the shortest possible time, and let those who look down on them regret to death.

"For sale? What do you mean??"

A person who can be a shopkeeper must have a very lively mind. The doubts in Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes only hovered for a second, and then gradually burst into a bright light, Ling Jingxuan nodded affirmatively in front of his eyes: "Well, selling it to the outside world, that ice In fact, there is not much technical content in the product. Senior foodies know what to do at a glance. As far as I know, the daughters and wives of large families are generally not allowed to show their faces outside casually, right? If the family packs it back, it is estimated that the ice will melt. If you can buy ready-made jam and make it yourself, won’t you be able to solve this problem?”

In any era, is there more money to be made than women's money?

"That's the reason, but if you want to sell it to a big family, a big jar is not suitable, you still have to use a small jar, and it has to be more beautiful, don't you say that there are not so many?"

"That's it."

The thief smiled and climbed up his cheeks. Shopkeeper Zhang looked at him suspiciously, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and then he couldn't help pointing at him and laughed: "You kid, you really know how to do business."

He didn't know until now that he had already planned it, just waiting for him to jump in.

"Hey? The shopkeeper's words are serious. I'm also trying to make ends meet."

Ling Jingxuan humbly clasped his fists and cupped his hands, and continued with a smile, "Because you want a large amount, I suggest using a large jar, and it's not a trick, don't worry, shopkeeper, I still sell small jars of jam for one or two silver per jar. For you, as for how much you want to sell a can, it doesn't matter to me, I will not disclose the reserve price to anyone, and of course I will not sell it to others, all of which can be written into the new contract."

"This is natural, but the quantity will be large when the time comes. Are you sure you can supply it?"

Looking up and looking around, it's not that he doesn't trust him, it's that the family is so big, and he heard some rumors about him before he came, knowing that he is now alone with his two children, and occasionally his parents and brothers will come. Help, but the amount they want is too large. It should be difficult to maintain this amount with just a few of them?

"Master Zhang, don't worry, since I dare to make this proposal, I can guarantee the quantity, but I still say that the fruit for making jam is a seasonal product, no matter how much you want, I will only supply it until the end of September, ten It will no longer be available when the moon is cool.”

He had already thought about it for a long time, and brought the Zhao Dalong family together. Of course, it is not cooperation, but employment. In the future, he will be too busy. He can also hire some long-term workers. I heard that he can buy people. , In order to earn enough money to buy land and open up wasteland, I had to go out and fight.

"Cheng, you said so, what else should I worry about?"

The shopkeeper also sighed quickly, turned his head and asked the guy next to him to go to the car to get a pen, ink, paper and inkstone

And silver, no matter how the contract changes, he will take back the 100 cans today anyway.

"Let's talk about that fish. You can sell it outside for only ten cents a pound at most. If I pay the same price, give me all your fish."

Taking advantage of this period of time, the shopkeeper opened up again, Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly: "Sure, it's the same sentence, every morning around this hour, you send someone to pull it, and I can only supply you thirty pieces for the time being. I plan to dig a fish pond with two acres of land in my backyard and try to raise it by myself in the fish pond. If you are interested, we will talk about it when it survives."

I'm afraid the fish pond can't be delayed any longer. Just from the jam, it can be seen that Xinyuan Restaurant is definitely rich and rich, and he doesn't make their money because he has a brain.

"Okay, my brother can trust you. We will not write a contract for the supply of fish for the time being. We will discuss the contract when you raise a large number of fish."

While talking, the guy with the bag had already returned, and the shopkeeper took the bag and took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone inside and pushed the rest to Ling Jingxuan: "I thought that it would be inconvenient for you to use the banknotes in the village, so I did it without authorization. The master changed it for you for a hundred taels of silver, you first look at the quantity."

"Thank you, Manager Zhang." After taking the burden, Ling Jingxuan didn't really count each one, so he threw it to Ling Jingpeng who was standing behind him.

Chapter 050 Let the little buns give nüè again

"Do you think this contract is feasible?"

Not long after, the shopkeeper sent him a re-drafted contract, which was similar to yesterday's, only adding the amount he had to supply each month and a new contract of one tael of silver and one pound. Ling Jingxuan took a brief look at it. After taking the seal and stamping it with his own fingerprints, the cooperative relationship between them was established.

"Since the matter has been done, I won't disturb it any more, the restaurant is still busy."

The shopkeeper took out yesterday's contract and tore it up in front of Ling Jingxuan. He took the new contract and was about to leave. Ling Jingxuan hurriedly said, "Jing Peng, Jing Peng?"

It wasn't until this time that he realized that his younger brother didn't know where he had gone, and glanced at the burden he was holding in his arms, Ling Jingxuan suddenly couldn't help laughing. ?

"Jing Peng? Jing Peng??"

"Ah? Brother, did you call me?"

Under his push, Ling Jingpeng finally came back to his senses, but the eyes of the gods who came in both directions were confused, Ling Jingxuan shook his head helplessly: "The shopkeeper is leaving, you can take the man to the cellar to carry the jam."

"Oh, then this is for you!"

The confusion disappeared in an instant, Ling Jingpeng couldn't help blushing, he threw the burden on him and ran out, the two guys standing behind the shopkeeper also followed, Ling Jingxuan smiled: "I'm sorry, let the shopkeeper see the joke. Now, my younger brother hasn't seen anything in the world yet, so he's a little rude."

However, it seems to be better than his little bun. If he also falls to the ground like a little bun, it will be a real shame.

"It doesn't matter, young people, just have more experience and experience. By the way, Brother Ling, you probably don't know it yet. Yesterday, a plague broke out in Ping'an Hall in the town. The county master came with the yamen overnight. The village has been quarantined, but fortunately, Ping'antang came up with the prescription for the prevention and treatment of the plague at the first time, and the epidemic has not spread. You'd better go to the town to pick up two pairs of medicines to prevent it, and, At the same time, the county master brought news of the conscription. It seems that something went wrong on the front line. The imperial court decided to conscript temporarily. As long as each family has two laborers over the age of 14 to 35, one person should be hired. I heard that you have two younger brothers. , it is best to prepare in advance, the official document will probably be sent to various villages soon."
