Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Xiao Yuanzheng went to see the cattle before leaving, and then said to Zhou Man, Tai doctor Lu, "The cattle will be handed over to you, and we won't be here until two days later."

Man Bao and Imperial Physician Lu nodded in agreement.

When Xiao Yuanzheng and others were sent away, Imperial Physician Lu turned to look at Zhou Man.

Man Bao looked at him inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

Imperial Physician Lu said indifferently, "Do you know how much an egg the steward purchased cost?"

Man Bao thought for a moment and guessed, "Sanwen money?"

It's twice as expensive as when their eggs in Luojiang County were the most expensive. Shouldn't this price be reliable?

Imperial Physician Lu, "No, at first it was five cents a piece, but now it has risen to six cents. I heard that eggs in the capital are very difficult to buy now."

Man Bao's eyes widened, his spirits lifted, "So much money?"

She tried her best to recall the ledger she had read not long ago. It also included the income from selling eggs. It was already agreed that the villagers raised half of their chickens, including not only chicken but also eggs.

It's just that she only remembered the total amount of chickens and eggs sold, not how many eggs and chickens were sold.

Imperial Physician Lu glanced at her and snorted with contempt: "Don't think about it, if you sell it, you will definitely not have this price. Didn't you see that the steward was so guilty that he was sweating? Not even money can be sold."

Man Bao: ...I have been patronizing and recommending their agricultural and sideline products, where should I pay attention to this?

However, Man Bao still wrote a letter and asked Jiulan to send it to the sentry, and asked someone to send the letter to the family.

Even if the price is not so high, it is good to be able to sell it, and it is a fortune to make a fortune.

Huangzhuang is not far from the city, and the guards here are the imperial guards. Today Yin or even came to see her in person, so she still has some face. Although the steward of Huangzhuang wanted to stop the letter, the guards still Send someone to deliver a letter to the Zhou family.

The letter was sent directly to Bai Shan.

As he opened the letter, he asked curiously, "Why did you send the letter back after only a day and a half?"

Bai Erlang smiled, "Is this missing you?"

Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "When do you plan to go back to Chongwen Museum to study?"

He said, "I didn't go because I had to prepare for the examinations for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel. Liu Huan didn't go because he wanted to prepare for the Mingjing examination. Why didn't you go?"

Bai Erlang: "Didn't Yin also go?"

"He's not in good health."

Bai Erlang snorted: "It's not, it's obviously because you didn't go, he didn't go because he was bored."

He said: "I don't want to go either, Yi Ziyang is out of office, and Feng Zongping also asks for leave, Zhao Liulang is the only one I can get along with in the entire Chongwen Museum, but I don't like to play many of the things he likes to play. It's weird."

Bai Shan was just trying to shut him up, not really letting him go to school. Seeing that he was talking non-stop, but finally stopped pinching him and Man Bao, he looked at the letter with peace of mind.

When he opened the letter, he realized that it wasn't for him.

So he picked up the envelope and glanced at it again, and found that no one had accepted it, only Man Bao's signature, and couldn't help laughing.

He opened the letter and read it, then folded the letter and said, "Let's go, let's go to Brother Friday."

Friday Lang is not at home, in the restaurant.

Bai Shan and the others walked all the way, and at the busiest time in the restaurant, there were people waiting to eat inside and out. In and out serving.

When Santou and Sitou came back from school, they took off their Confucian shirts, put on their homely clothes, and went to the hall to greet guests and serve food.

Bai Shan also saw Daji's second son, Bai Shuping. He also ran with a vegetable plate, deftly dodging the constantly walking guests, placed it on a table accurately, and shouted with charm: "Fen steamed pork. One bowl, one grilled fish, can you take a look at it?"

Friday Lang settled the bill at the counter and was about to make an order. He was not as fast as Zhou Lijun, but it was similar to an ordinary cashier.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang stayed for a while, then went over to lean on the counter.

Wu Wulang calculated a little slowly, and said without raising his head: "Wait a minute, which table are you at?"

When he looked up, he saw Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, his eyes slightly brightened, "Why are you here? Come, come and help me settle a meal, there will be more people checking out and leaving in a while."

Bai Shan saw the menus on the table, with the names and prices of the dishes, and the table number on the top, which was very clear, even if they didn't know much about the dishes in the restaurant, they could calculate it without error.

Bai Shan took over and said, "Brother Friday, Man Bao wrote you a letter."

Then he handed the letter to him.

Wu Zhou Lang can not write many words, but he recognizes a lot of words, which belongs to the long-term stage where he can read and write.

He read it word by word, overjoyed, "Eggs in Huangzhuang are so expensive?"

Bai Shan: "... Fifth brother, you didn't understand Man Bao's meaning. Man Bao said that there was a manager in Huangzhuang who falsely reported prices, so Xiao Yuanzheng wanted to see you."

Wu Wulang calmed down a bit, "Oh, I said, eggs outside are usually two cents a piece, and the more expensive ones are three cents. How come it's so expensive on Manbao's letter?"

Someone came to check out. Bai Shan found out the menu for their table and handed it to Bai Erlang. After letting him settle the bill, he talked to Wuwu Lang behind the counter, "Are there many eggs in Zhuangzi?"

Wu Lang thought for a while and said: "I have to ask Lizhong, but there should be a lot. At the beginning of last year, we added a lot of chicks to them. Years ago, we sold a batch of roosters and hens that didn't lay eggs very well, but I remember. There are also many laying hens left."

Bai Shan said: "Then go and see Xiao Yuanzheng. In addition to eggs, there are also meat, chicken, pork, and vegetables to talk about."

He smiled and said, "Now that we have talked about it, let's talk about it in a big way. Later, you will prepare some of everything to send, and let them see the finished product. It will be better to talk about it."

Friday Lang asked, "What about the price?"

Bai Shan asked him, "What does the fifth brother think?"

Friday Lang said: "Give it to them at a lower price than the market price. Now you don't have to worry about selling eggs. They are usually sold for two cents a piece. It's not uncommon for large ones to sell for three cents. This is indispensable, but other can give them less.”

Bai Shan nodded, "The fifth brother is used to buying, so he should be more familiar with this than us, so you can make up your own mind."

Wu Wulang was a little strange, "Aren't Manbao and the others in Huangzhuang? I heard that there is a lot of land there, and they are all good ones. Where does the water for the moat come from, why are there still lack of vegetables and meat and eggs?"

Bai Shandao: "That's His Majesty's Zhuangzi. This time it was bought by the Imperial Hospital. The two are separate. Even if the people living there want to eat the vegetables from the Huangzhuang, they have to pass the purchasing and stewardship level first. Yes. Only in this way can the income and expenditure be calculated, otherwise they will be chaotic inside, and the accounts will be chaotic, and it will be bad if they don’t match up when the quarterly accounts are settled.”
