No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 82 Establish a contract! First encounter!
The result has been decided, and Ji Qingyue’s Party A has been announced.
Congratulations to Tai'an House for becoming Ji Qingyue's only client!
While the others felt regretful, they did not feel disappointed and congratulated the shopkeeper of Tai'an House with clasped fists.
In less than an hour, three questions were asked in a row, which not only convinced everyone, but also made people not underestimate Ji Qingyue.
Being able to grow such good vegetables and come up with such clever topics, for a newcomer who has just arrived, using this method to successfully greet them in a strange place will not make people feel disrespectful or abrupt. . Even if there is a conflict in the future when doing business, if you want to take action against Ji Qingyue, you have to consider whether it is necessary.
When everyone congratulated Tai'an Tower, they did not forget to ask Ji Qingyue for the specific answer to the third question.
They all know that it is impossible to miss a single article in thirty articles for no reason, but they have never found the overlooked point in it, and they have been eager to know the answer since they started reading the question.
The shopkeeper of Tai'an Building cleared his throat and explained: "This question is a coincidence. The two cents written by the waiter cannot be counted with the house price. The shopkeeper clearly gave a discount of five cents, but the waiter took away two cents. The students didn't know this. They must have thought that the shopkeeper only gave a discount of three cents, so the house price was twenty-seven cents. Three people and nine cents would get twenty-seven cents. The three cents returned were returned to them, no more, no less, in total. Thirty articles, not one of them has disappeared.”
"Oh——" After everyone understood, they were suddenly enlightened, and then they started beating their chests and stamping their feet.
Such a simple logic, why didn't they understand it just now? !
Convinced, convinced! Ji Xiaolangjun is indeed very talented and should not be underestimated!
They were not so disappointed when they didn't get any food.
Even after the answer to the third question was asked, the others still did not leave. They were not here to inquire about the business of Ji Qingyue and Tai'an House, but they were worried about the answer to the question the day before yesterday and shouted to let Ji Qingyue gave a clear answer.
Ji Qing asked around more and more, only to realize that their answers had not yet been decided. Some said they would earn one penny, while others said they would earn two pence.
He smiled and said: "It's totally wrong to say three essays, and two essays are wrong." When they heard three essays, the shopkeepers all laughed heartily, but when they heard Ji Qingyue said two essays were wrong, several people stood up and asked why wrong.
"Do you know how many transactions the person in question has made?"
Faced with Ji Qingyue's rhetorical question, those people answered "three times."
The first time: eight cents to buy and nine cents to sell.
The second time: sell for nine cents and buy for ten cents.
The third time: buy for ten cents and sell for eleven cents.
"These three transactions resulted in three profits and losses, namely profit of one penny, loss of one penny, and profit of one penny. After working for so long, the answer is that in the end I only made one penny."
When they heard that the result was one article, some people laughed: "So, one article is the answer?"
Unexpectedly, Ji Qingyue nodded, shook his head, and said something even more puzzling: "The answer to this question is that one article is indeed good, but there is some truth in it. Don't forget, if you sell eleven articles from the beginning, that is You can earn three cents generously. I should have earned three cents but now I have only earned one cent. Do you still think you have earned it?"
At this time, someone retorted in a low voice: "Who would have thought that we could sell eleven cents!!"
"The boss doesn't think so." Ji Qingyue's words immediately made the shopkeeper below him feel the same. A business that is busy but does not make a profit or the profit does not reach the target is a loss for the boss, and it involves more than just money. , there is still time. When the owner checks the accounts, all he cares about in the end is profit and loss. Since the profit that can be obtained at one time is offset by the cost of excess transactions, this is a real loss.
If you want to make money, you must have a keen vision and unique insights, and avoid many transactions that waste time, money and material resources. The cost saved is also profit.
Now everyone was completely convinced, and the shopkeeper of Tai'an Building looked at Ji Qingyue with even more fervent admiration.
After getting the exact answer, the others said goodbye to Ji Qingyue one after another. After a while, there was only one shopkeeper left in the yard, shopkeeper Qin of Tai'an Building.
The shopkeeper was in his forties, wearing a silk round-neck robe, a black hat, and a goatee. He was looking refreshed and waiting to talk about establishing a contract with Ji Qingyue.
One of them was willing to buy and the other was willing to sell, so the process of establishing the contract was very smooth.
The price of goods is determined by season and is divided into summer and winter. The delivery time is set from February to early to mid-December. The delivery location is the first Shili Pavilion outside the city. Before each delivery, Ji Qingyue Li Yu or others will be asked to send a message to Tai'an Tower a few days in advance.
Shiliting is a small canopy set up every ten miles on the official road. It is a temporary resting point set up by the government for people to take shelter from the rain.
Because Ji Qingyue does not need to bear the transportation costs and the cost of passing through the city gate, the actual vegetable prices are definitely cheaper than those shipped from the south, but he does not make the vegetable prices too cheap, because these vegetables are expensive because of the labor. From plowing to sowing to harvesting, you can only rely on him alone!
Labor costs are very expensive, okay!
Before setting the price, he and Li Yu visited all the large shops and markets in Shandan, and also asked people in the caravan for prices. They roughly understood the price of each vegetable in Shandan. Based on these prices, Ji Qingyue sets the price higher, leaving some room for bargaining.
Ji Qingyue has already thought about the scene when delivering goods. Before each delivery, he has to carry the paintings out of the city early like a snail, arrive near the designated Shiliting Pavilion, and then find a hidden place to move the vegetables out. Waiting for someone from Tai'an Building to pick up the goods.
He didn't know if the secret would be exposed over time. To be on the safe side, Ji Qingyue decided to find another way to pick up the goods.
This time, Ji Qingyue asked the shopkeeper of Tai'an Building to go to Shiliting to pick up the first shipment in two days.
There are two copies of the contract, and the buyer and seller each get one copy after signing.
After the contract was concluded, shopkeeper Qin did not stay long and said goodbye readily.
After dealing with the matters that were hanging on his mind, Ji Qingyue could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He and Li Yu brought some fresh vegetables, returned the borrowed benches one by one, and put the long door back in. Only then did they have time to calculate how much they would pay for every batch of vegetables sold in every future transaction. You can earn a few hundred taels, and when winter comes in November and February, the price can double several times. If you switch to R/M/B, earning 100,000 per month is not a dream.
Things that were impossible in modern times are now possible.
Changing houses next year is no longer a dream.
Everyone is an efficient person. From the shopkeepers entering the venue to leaving the venue, and then deciding on the client, the whole process only took more than an hour and less than two hours. Li Sanlang didn't even come back from the examination room.
Ji Qingyue thought to himself that the fill-in-the-blank questions shouldn't be so difficult. There should be restrictions such as access control.
The fact was indeed what Ji Qingyue thought. After entering the Gongyuan, more than a thousand candidates sat in their own rooms, and after receiving the test questions, they wrote and answered.
There are not many questions, and capable candidates can finish answering them in less than an hour. However, there is no such thing as handing in papers in advance and leaving early in this exam. You must unify your stance after handing in papers to eliminate any possibility of cheating. Therefore, candidates I can only huddle in the room and wait until noon.
An hour and a half after the exam started, as soon as the final gong sounded, the examiners sent people to collect the papers. The room was narrow and small, making it very uncomfortable to sit. The candidates were all looking forward to handing in their papers and leaving as soon as possible.
Li Sanlang walked out of the examination room carrying the basket and stretched his waist that had been shrinking for a long time. Fortunately, Brother Ji had told him to eat a full meal in the morning. A bowl of porridge was served with an egg and half a biscuit, and the wet and dry ingredients were evenly matched, so he didn't have to eat it because of stomach problems during the exam. The environment in the east wing of the examination room is terrible. Going there once will definitely affect your mood, bring back a smell, and make people in the next room curse.
He came to Gongyuan with his classmates. Everyone knew that he stayed at the house of his brother's friend. When they arrived at the inn, they separated, leaving only Li Sanlang, who walked back to the alley alone.
The sun is high at noon. At this time, the roads are usually empty. Everyone is taking a break and having lunch. There are no people in the alleys. Every shop is empty, and there is not much business coming to the door.
As he walked, Li Sanlang saw a small and exquisite dark carriage parked in front of Brother Ji's house.
There were many warriors surrounding the BMW car. As soon as Li Sanlang was about to approach, they immediately became alert. If there was any sound when their eyes moved, they could hear the sound of "rust".
In order to avoid accidental injury, Li Sanlang quickly explained: "Excuse me, I don't mean any harm, it's just because this is where I stay."
The carriage was parked in a very domineering position, right at the door. If Li Sanlang wanted to enter, he would definitely have to approach the carriage.
But each of these guards stared at him as if facing a powerful enemy, which made him a little frightened and a little embarrassed.
So he had no choice but to stand in a place not far or near, and did not retreat. He just stopped moving and allowed these guards to be on guard.
At this time, Li Sanlang thought that they should come to see Brother Ji. Brother Ji had said that he had made an appointment with some shopkeepers to discuss business today. Maybe these people came to see Brother Ji to discuss business.
After a while, a guard shouted to Li Sanlang: "We have no intention of staying long, please wait for a moment, young man."
Li Sanlang nodded to indicate that he understood.
After a while, a guard disguised as a man came out of the house. He seemed to be holding some paper in his hand. After he came out, he stood outside the carriage window and handed the paper into the carriage after the people inside opened the window.
Then the carriage stopped staying and the small carriage turned in the same direction.
They seemed to be leaving.
Li Sanlang quickly turned aside to avoid it.
Just when the carriage passed by, he vaguely heard a voice in the carriage saying something to the guards trotting outside. The content mentioned in the words immediately reminded him of what happened some time ago, so Li Sanlang looked at Without any etiquette, he chased after him.
"Everyone...!!"
Fortunately, the carriage was very slow, and Li Sanlang caught up with him before he could run far. Before he could speak, the male guards surrounding the carriage came over and stopped him, while the carriage continued to move forward.
Not caring to catch his breath, he immediately went straight to the topic and explained to the carriage: "Just now I overheard the girl in the car mentioning that she wanted to take the road to the state capital via Luoshan. I have no right to comment, but thinking about the past few days I have to say more about what happened. Although the bandits on the Yaoshan Mountain have been eliminated, there are still bandits from other forces hiding in the Licang Mountain behind the Yaoshan Mountain. Because of the huge mountain range, the soldiers from the state capital only found some traces. We can find out their exact hiding place. Taking that mountain road can indeed greatly shorten the distance, but the risk is extremely high, and no one has walked it for a long time, so please think twice."
The driver heard the instructions from the people in the car, stopped the carriage, and asked Li Sanlang to come forward and ask questions.
The car curtain opened a corner, and inside was a neat woman of seventeen or eighteen years old. She asked, "How did you know that there were bandits hiding in Lancang Mountain there? We have never heard of these things mentioned by the government!"
Li Sanlang didn't talk nonsense: "Because my father and brother were both in the team that suppressed bandits last time. They captured bandits in Lancang Mountain who did not belong to Juishan Village, and most of the bandits who went up to suppress bandits last time were transferred from the state capital. Not all of the soldiers are from the county government. If there is no news from the county government, I guess something went wrong somewhere."
Li Sanlang didn't question at all why the people in the car could get information about the county government. Just looking at the many guards following outside the car, he could tell that the identity of the people inside was not simple.
Xu Dan looked at Lu Lu on the side and saw his cousin frowning. The good mood she had just received from the question was gone.
Dad's letter clearly stated that she should take the mountain road behind Juoshan Mountain and rely on the mountain road of Lancang Mountain, because the bandits had been completely wiped out there not long ago, and no bandits would appear again in a short period of time.
But this person said this... Can she still walk on the mountain road there?
Could she believe what this man said?
The journey between Shandan and Chang'an by carriage is less than a month, and by horseback riding day and night it can reach Chang'an in less than seven days. The contents of my father's letter are correct, but what this man said is wrong. It makes people take notice.
So, should she take the route set by her father and return to Chang'an?
Lu Lu didn't speak or look outside from beginning to end, but quietly waved his hand.
Xu Dan knew what she meant, and quickly thanked Li Sanlang and said "I understand", then lowered the curtain and the carriage continued to drive out of the alley.
Li Sanlang watched the carriage that was protected by guards gradually move away, and turned around to return. At this moment, he suddenly realized that his hands were empty, and the basket was thrown to the ground in a hurry, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone inside were scattered on the floor.
He rushed back in panic and quickly checked his household registration papers and guarantee documents.
It was truly a blessing among misfortunes. The inkstone was dry when the basket fell to the ground, and it happened to cover the two pieces of paper. The two pieces of paper were firmly pressed down so that they were not blown away by the wind.
Li Sanlang was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. When had he ever been so impulsive?
The two vouchers were fine, but a corner of the inkstone was broken and there was a crack. It was useless now.
He felt a pain in his heart and regretted repeatedly that this inkstone had been with him for many years, but he unexpectedly broke it carelessly.
Fortunately, he also had another inkstone, but he didn't take it with him, but placed it in the academy.
It seems that I have to go back to the academy now to get the spare inkstone.
Li Sanlang sighed softly, went into the house and put away his things, explained the reason to Ji Qingyue, and then went up the mountain back to the academy.
