Poisonous Peasant 'Concubine'

Early in the morning, two carriages suddenly drove into Lingjia Village from the intersection of several villages. After asking about Ling Jingxuan's residence, the carriage in front went straight to the foot of Yuehua Mountain. All the villagers working in the village saw it, but no one dared to ask. Almost everyone was guessing who the two carriages were looking for.

"Huh?" The carriage stopped at the door of Ling Jingxuan's house, and shopkeeper Zhang of Xinyuan Restaurant got out of the car behind, motioned to one of the drivers to look at the carriage, and knocked on the closed wooden door of Ling Jingxuan's house with two assistants. .

"Who is it?" Xiao Baozi's voice sounded crisply, and then, there was only a creak, and the wooden door was opened from the inside. Shopkeeper Zhang opened his mouth, and Xiao Baozi turned around quickly, let go of his feet and ran back.

"Daddy, daddy, the uncle from the restaurant came yesterday, daddy?"

Seeing this, shopkeeper Zhang's forehead went dark, and he looked at the little figure who was having fun with a stiff face.

"I made shopkeeper Zhang laugh, please come in!"

Not long after, Ling Jingxuan came out of the house, followed by Ling Jingpeng and the two little buns who had just come over, the shopkeeper who was stunned finally came back to his senses, smiled a little embarrassedly, cupped his fists and said: " Mr. Ling, please."

"Hehe... let's not be polite, please." How can the host walk in front of the guests?He still wants to do his business.

"Haha?? Then I'm going to be blunt. To be honest, Mr. Ling, I'm here to talk to you about jam today. Yesterday?? Hey, you can catch such a big carp at this time of year. your?"

Shopkeeper Zhang, who entered the yard, was only halfway through his speech when his attention was attracted by the barrels of fish placed in the yard. Seeing the fat and big carp inside, shopkeeper Zhang couldn’t help but wonder, it’s not that there are no special fishing in this area. Fishermen who make a living, not to mention the fish in the river, even the sea fish have a lot, but because of the year-round fishing and the inability to feed them, it is generally difficult to see such a big fish in this season, which is why the fish The main reason why the price is so high.

"Well, the medicinal fish I raise in a nearby stream doesn't produce much, and it's only enough to make a living."

Ling Jingxuan obviously didn't want to say more, he just fooled around a few words, he didn't think shopkeeper Zhang would be as easy to deceive as those people in the market, it would be bad if he asked him to take him to see the place where the fish were raised, in his Before the fish pond was built, he didn't plan to catch too many fish. "Medicine fish? Can you raise it yourself?"

Sensitively grasping the point, shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help exclaiming, for thousands of years, this is something that no one has ever done.

"Hehe... I just got lucky and figured out a recipe for raising fish with herbs."

He knew this would happen, Ling Jingxuan was helpless, if he said that he caught the fish casually, with the shrewdness of shopkeeper Zhang, it would be even more difficult to fool him, now is not the season for fish to be produced in large quantities, and it is early in the morning, so why are there so many fish waiting for him? Where to let him catch it?

"Then can you ration it every day?"

Seeing that he still had something to hide, shopkeeper Zhang resolutely gave up on the topic, and instead pointed out that he was interested in these fish. Ling Jingxuan pretended to be contemplative before replying: "Currently there are up to [-] fish per day, not necessarily carp or silver carp. , Grass carp is available, if the shopkeeper wants it, he can only send a carriage to pick it up, I can’t deliver it to the town every day.”

Xinyuan Restaurant can be opened all over the Qing Dynasty, and the power behind it must be extraordinary, and it is a good thing to cooperate with them for a long time. Now because I don’t have my own fish pond, I can’t sell a lot of fish. In the future, I have my own fish pond. You can make money with them.

"Okay, let's go in and talk slowly."

One last look at the lively fish in the bucket, shopkeeper Zhang took the initiative to step forward, and Ling Jingxuan quietly gave Ling Jingpeng a look, signaling him to take the two little buns to the backyard before following. The most important task for children is to study And play, it was fine in the past, and he didn't want them to get involved in business matters prematurely in the future.

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

After sitting down in the main room, shopkeeper Zhang didn't talk to him, and looked at him straight to the point: "To be honest, I launched that cold product after you left yesterday, and the reaction was beyond my imagination. After the peak period, I went to the town in person, and the shopkeeper in the town also expressed great interest. I wrote a letter to the shopkeeper of the state government overnight, explaining in detail how to make cool products and purchase jam. After receiving the handwritten letter from the shopkeeper of the state capital, we decided to launch this cold product at all the branches in the entire state capital at the same time, so I would like to ask Mr. Ling, can you supply us with a thousand cans in ten days first? Then at least a month Guarantee the amount of [-] cans?"

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

"It's possible, but we're afraid we need to calculate the price in a different way." As if he had expected this result, Ling Jingxuan pondered for a while and said in a concentrated voice.

"What calculation method?"

Hearing that there was something going on, the shopkeeper was resolutely in high spirits, just at this moment Ling Jingpeng came in, Ling Jingxuan raised his hand to signal him to be calm, looked up and said to Ling Jingpeng: "Go to the cellar and get me a jar of jam."

Ling Jingpeng nodded, turned around and walked out. Shopkeeper Zhang was full of doubts. When he came back again, he was holding a jar of jam sealed with a white cloth. Ling Jingxuan took the jam and opened the white cloth and handed it to the shopkeeper. : "Yesterday we talked about a pot of one tael of silver. I thought you didn't want much, at most a few hundred pots a month, but now your amount has increased tenfold, and it is very likely that you will buy more in the future." Scroll up, if you keep using this kind of small jars, I am afraid that the jars will be out of stock in a short time, as you can see, I am a villager with two children, and it is impossible to go to other places I bought a jar, so I thought, this kind of jar can only hold a catty at most, or we can just use a big jar to pack it, and we will calculate it by two catties, and if I suffer a bit, I will charge you one or two per catty?"

It's obviously a business without money, but he can still say it with a look of pain, which is no one else.

"It's fine, but it's best not to exceed a hundred catties for one jar. We are going to send it to various nearby restaurants. Too much is not easy to distribute, and it is not easy to deal with if it is bumped and damaged during transportation."

His request was not too much. It was true that one tael per catty was more cost-effective than one can of one tael. Shopkeeper Zhang had no reason to disagree, but their contract was about to be rewritten.

"Don't worry about this. My estimate is [-] catties per jar, which is enough for you to distribute. But shopkeeper Zhang, have you ever thought about selling jam?"

He still doesn’t know if the wine can be sold for money. If he wants to earn enough money to buy land and build a house within three months, he can only rely on jam. Although the amount given by 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 make those who look down on them regret to death.

"For sale? What do you mean??"

A person who can become a shopkeeper must have a lively mind. The doubts in shopkeeper Zhang's eyes only hovered for a second before gradually revealing their light. Ling Jingxuan met his eyes and nodded affirmatively: "Well, for sale, the ice product In fact, there is not much technical content. Senior foodies know how to do it at a glance. As far as I know, daughters and wives of wealthy families generally cannot show their faces outside casually, right? If you buy ready-made jam and make it yourself, wouldn’t this problem be solved?”

No matter in which era, is there any better money than women's money?

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

"That's it."

A thief smiled on his cheeks, shopkeeper Zhang looked at him suspiciously, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and then couldn't help pointing at him and laughing: "You boy, you really know how to do business."

It wasn't until this moment that he realized that he had planned it long ago and was just waiting for him to jump into it.

"Hey? The shopkeeper's words are serious, I'm also here to make a living."

Ling Jingxuan clasped his hands modestly, suppressed his smile and continued: "Because you want a large quantity, I suggest using a big jar. It's not just playing tricks. Don't worry, the shopkeeper. I still sell small jars of jam for a tael of silver. Here you go, as for how much you want to sell for a can, it has nothing to do with me, and I will not disclose the reserve price to others, and of course I will not sell it to others, all of which can be written into the new contract."

"Naturally, it's just that the quantity will be large at that time. Are you sure you can supply it?"

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

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Zhang. 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 large the quantity you want, I will only supply it until the end of September. Yuetianliang will no longer serve it.”

He had already thought about it, and brought Zhao Dalong's family to work together. Of course, it's not a cooperation, but an employment. In the future, he will be too busy. He can also hire some long-term workers. , in order to earn enough money to buy land and open up wasteland, he had to go all out.

"Success, you've already said that, what else do I have to worry about?"

The shopkeeper was also straightforward, and turned his head to let the guy next to him go to the car to get the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and silver. No matter how the contract changes, he will take back the [-] cans today anyway.

"Let's talk about the fish again. The most you can sell outside is ten cents a catty. If I offer the same price, just give me all your fish."

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

I'm afraid that the matter of the fish pond cannot be delayed any longer. From the matter of the jam alone, it can be seen that Xinyuan Restaurant is definitely rich and powerful, and he has a foolish mind to not take their money.

"Okay, my brother can trust you, so I won't write a contract for the supply of fish for the time being. We'll negotiate a contract after you raise a large number of fish."

While talking, the man carrying 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 in front of Ling Jingxuan: "I thought it would be inconvenient for you to use bank notes in the village, so I decided to take it out without authorization." The master has exchanged it for you with 100 taels of broken silver, you should check the quantity first."

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