Farmer’s Blessed Girl
Chapter 2984 stay
Looking at his expression, Ning Yushi only thought that he was a fool and a fool, but during this time he and Zhou Liwei lived and ate next door. Knowing how hard he was in charge of the salt field, it seemed that he should have a previous schedule.
But such an opportunity is not available to everyone. He reached out and patted his shoulder, "You have a good aunt and a good uncle."
After saying that, he turned around and left with a laugh.
Zhou Liwei scratched his head, feeling that these scholars like to keep half of what they say, he shook his head, and after watching the carriage go away, he turned around and went back to keep writing his books.
Ning Yushi took Yanxian back to Beihai County Office. Bai Shan met him in the county office and invited him to a working meal by the way: "The prince went to Dengzhou."
That's a long way to go, and Laizhou has to go further east, which is the easternmost place in Dajin.
Ning Yushi thought for a while, then left in no hurry, "Then I'll stay here and wait for His Royal Highness."
Bai Shan: ... Although he is not afraid of the censor, Ning censor is still somewhat uncomfortable here. For example, if he finishes his official duties in advance every day, will he return home early or continue to spend time in the county office? ?
But he didn't show his face, he still responded with a smile, and said, "I'll send Lord Ning to the inn."
The post station in Beihai County is not very far from the county office, but it is not on the main street, but next to a relatively small street that enters the main street.
It is also very small, with two floors up and down, two courtyards in the front and back, and Yicheng and his family live in the back.
The cooks and clerks of the inn are all served by his family.
Officials coming and going on business can stay in the inn for free, but Beihai County is too poor. Except for the occasional official from Qingzhou City to deliver official documents for one night, most of the time the inn cannot receive officials.
So they would take foreign guests, and in order to compete with the better inns on Main Street, they kept the prices very low.
It attracts businessmen who come to Beihai County to visit relatives or not very rich.
When Bai Shan sent Ning Yushi to the inn, a group of people walked out scoldingly, and their expressions seemed to be very angry, "This is, when we came last year, it was five cents a pound, and this year it is six cents. Now? We need six cents for the purchase price, and at least twelve cents to sell it. If people are willing to take twelve cents, why not buy fresh fish, but have to buy this stinky salted fish?"
"That's right, Twelve Wen, you can even buy pork and chicken, so why eat fish?
"Let's dry it. There's not much else here, just a lot of sea fish. After another two months, if they can't sell their fish, they will know that the price will be reduced."
Bai Shan frowned, his eyes swept across the faces of those people, and Yushi Ning also raised his head and glanced at each other, passing by these people when he entered the door.
Yicheng was carefully recording the accounts with a pen on the counter. He did not dare to make mistakes, otherwise the waste paper would be very expensive.
One of the yamen came forward and knocked on the table first, and the postmaster said without raising his head: "This store only accepts guests who stay in the store. If you don't stay in the store, you need to go out and turn left and go to the street."
Servant: "...Yicheng, it's the adults who are here."
Yi Cheng lifted his eyelids to look, saw Bai Shan in civilian clothes, and immediately put down his pen, "So it's the county magistrate, please come in, come in quickly."
Bai Shan asked Yushi Ning to go first, looked up at the back of his building and said, "This is Yushi Ning, an official from the capital, who will arrange a quiet, spacious and airy room for Yushi Ning."
"Yes, yes, please go upstairs, Yushi Ning."
Although the inn accepts foreign guests, he will reserve two good rooms, so as not to encounter officials who come to stay and do not have good rooms.
He took people up to the second floor, went to the innermost room, opened the door, and asked a few people to go in and see the room.
The room is very spacious, with a bed and a round table occupying more than half of it, a wooden couch by the window, and a bathroom separated by a screen on the other side. Basin, space is not small.
The window was opened and it was facing an alley. It seemed that few people were walking, but from a distance, the main street was across the alley, and it was indeed quiet.
Still quiet.
Bai Shan turned his head to look at Ning Yushi, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel, sir?"
Ning Yushi was very satisfied, so he settled on this room. Ning Yushi's captain brought his luggage in, and the guards also turned around to choose their own room. The station, which was originally small, filled up all the empty rooms at once.
The postman hurriedly hung up the sign that it was full.
Ning Yushi looked at him busy, turned his head and asked Bai Shan, "Salt fish is so cheap?"
During his time in the salt farm, he occasionally chatted with the long-term workers in the salt farm. Knowing that they were fishing, he often sent the good fish to Beihai County and Qingzhou City to sell at a variable price.
Some marine fish are cheap, and you can buy a pound for ten yuan, while others are very expensive and require hundreds of yuan per pound.
The most frequently mentioned by the long-term workers is that someone caught a very rare fish when they went out to sea. It was soaked in seawater overnight and sent to the outside of Qingzhou City. The next day, it was sent to the city at dawn. A pound can sell for two hundred yuan. Wen, that fish is not too big, just over two catties, it can be sold for nearly five hundred cents, which is worth their 100 catties of salted fish.
He thought it was just an exaggeration to set off the preciousness of the fish, but it turned out that it was not that the fish was too precious, but that the salted fish was too cheap?
Now is the season to start fishing, and Bai Shan is also having a headache. Even including Qingzhou City, the consumption of fish is actually limited, so more fishermen still dry the fish into dried fish and sell them to the merchants who come to buy them.
But they pushed the price too low.
The fishermen not only have to catch fish, but also hang and air dry after they are caught...
So hard, a catty of fish is only a few cents.
"The road is difficult now, and the transportation cost is very high. When merchants receive the goods, they must at least double the price to make money." Bai Shan is not a person who does not know the fireworks of the world. He naturally knows that merchants also have difficulties. So he said: "So I think it will be fine when the Longchi Ferry is repaired. The official road leading to the outside in Beihai County will also be repaired. The price of salted fish should be raised."
Ning Yushi sat at the table and asked, "What else?"
Bai Shan smiled and sat across from him, "As expected of Yushi Ning, the lower official does have other plans. I always thought, why can't salted fish be more valuable than other fish? It's not just meat, its body And with salt."
"There is a dish of salted fish in a dish, which doesn't even need salt, so isn't it a matter of course that it is more expensive?"
Ning Yushi: "The poor family has no chance to eat salted fish. I can't think of this method for the time being. People who would take the risk to buy salted fish and want to taste the fish in the sea are not those who are very short of money, and they are not short of salt."
"So it's very important who you sell the salted fish to and where you sell it," Bai Shan said. "Xiaguan is now looking for such merchants."
Ning Yushi smiled and said, "Don't you have an uncle who often travels to the grasslands of the Western Regions? Maybe he can help you."
see you at seven pm
