Farmer's Favorite

It was a happy and exciting thing for Zhuang Xinyan and Zhuang Xinyan to have a company.

In this way, in the past few days, the two would follow the charcoal cake from time to time, only to find that this lazy guy was either acting coquettishly and playing around with them, or just found a place to lie down and sleep for most of the day.

Zhuang Xinyan looked at the charcoal cake and snored again, he couldn't help but said suspiciously: "Tell me, could it be that the old man is bluffing us? Stay at home all day without going out?"

He felt that he couldn't imagine that when he was with Lin Qi, he wished he could be by Lin Qi's side all day long. The charcoal cake was good, it wouldn't leave without closing it, so it knew it was stuck at home.

Lin Qi hugged the milk doll in his hand, and he chuckled: "Let's see again, let the kitchen cook some more bones for it later, and see if it will bring it a companion."

However, it's a pity.

There are a few big bones in a bowl, all of which are eaten up by charcoal cakes.

I didn't intend to take it out at all.

Zhuang Xinyan still wanted to take a closer look, and was even more curious about the gray and thin dog.

However, after a few days, he had no leisure time.

Zhao Bin has been taking care of external work.

Maybe it was because he had been away for a long time, and because he was an official, he made a lot of friends in the town. It happened that a friend from other places gave him a message that day.

"You mean, Jingjia Paper will open a workshop in Genshan Town?" Qiao Zhe was a little strange.

Zhao Bin nodded, Genshan Town is a small place, Jingjiazhi really wants to open a workshop here, the reason is obvious if you think about it, it is to deal with Xishanzhi.

"So, what are they going to do?" Zhao Bin was a little uneasy, but at the same time a little excited.

You know, Jing Jiazhi's name, he had heard it since he was a child and grew up, and now he was able to play against them, and he felt excited just thinking about it.

Zhuang Xinyan was not at all excited, he said: "I still have the credit of finding the male empress and Yuxi. Jing Jiazhi dare not come in secret. Since it is an open confrontation, I am really not afraid of him."

Say this.

The other two were taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

This is not wrong.

As for the reason, it is very simple, that is the cost of Xishan paper.

In the confrontation with the merchants of the same item, the biggest point of winning or losing is the quality and price.

If the quality is the same, it is natural to look at the price.

One price is high, the other price is low, two choices are in front of us, and everyone in the world knows how to choose.

After all, not many people are willing to pay an unreasonable price for a cheap thing.

This was Zhuang Xinyan's plan.

"Besides, the people in the workshop have to keep an eye on it. I'm worried that what they're planning is the prescription in your hand." Zhao Bin reminded.

Zhuang Xinyan nodded.

The recipe for making paper is actually not difficult.

Especially Jing Jiazhi made a living on this, but if they knew something, they might be able to figure it out on their own.

However, even if the Jing family bribed all his subordinates, what they got was the most common paper-making method, which could be produced, but the cost of making paper in this way would be higher than the current paper-making method of the Jing family.

Because, the most core part, only he and Lin Qi know.

So they discussed a few more words. From the current point of view, the only thing Jingjiazhi has to do is to lower the price of low-quality rice paper even lower than them.

If this continues, it will be a blow to them.

Although their prices are cheap, they do not contain enough content. When Jingjia paper and Xishan paper are placed together at the same price, most people in the world will choose Jingjia paper.

Such an approach is a blow to them, and it is also the same to Jing Jiazhi.

If their prices are as low as they want to be, they are trading at a loss.

In a short period of time, it was fine for the Jing family, but after a long time, they couldn't bear it.

Therefore, this competition between rice paper will not last too long.

Zhao Bin asked: "Then how do we plan to do it?"

Zhuang Xinyan raised the corners of his mouth, not knowing why he smiled treacherously.

……

Jing's workshop was built very quickly.

The head of the Jing family, Jing Yeshu, even came to this small place in person.

He told his subordinates, "Let the people below do something as soon as possible. Be sure to bribe some people from Xishan Village. Zhuang Xinyan's papermaking recipe must be obtained no matter what."

"Master, don't worry, the subordinates have already arranged candidates." The person below said again: "It's just that the subordinates of the dealer are strict, and they can be bribed in a short time."

Jing Yeshu frowned upon hearing this.

The man followed closely and said, "However, this subordinate has already contacted Zhuang Xinyanyue's family and a person in the village, and will settle the matter right away."

Jing Yeshu just nodded, and he said: "From today onwards, the price of all low-grade rice paper in this area will be lower than the five papers of Xishan paper, and it should be done as soon as possible. Take care of everything."

Without the help of Bafang Pavilion, he didn't believe that he couldn't handle a mere farmer.

Although there are people in Bafang Pavilion in Genshan Town, they are scary people who can't make up their minds. He has to ask Yuan Yi to completely drag Xishan into the water before he comes back.

That is, on this day.

Scholars in Genshan Town were pleasantly surprised to find that the price of rice paper has become cheaper.

When they were about to go looting, they were stopped by another group of people who told them happily that the price of Xishan paper had dropped again.

So, these people ran to Xishanzhi again.

Before entering the door, I heard someone yelling outside that the price of Jingjia paper has dropped again.

So back and forth.

Instead, these people are not in a hurry, they are so stupid that they can see that the two shops will fight against Taiwan again.

They planned to see how much the price of rice paper could drop.

Not sure, in the end, they will be able to pick up a big bargain.

However, when the price was reduced by almost half, there was finally news that there was no news of another price cut.

The current situation is that the Jingjia paper is a few pennies lower than the Xishan paper.

It was at this time that a group of people suddenly broke in in front of Jing Jiazhi's gate.

They all held silver coins in their hands and shouted: "Give me [-] pieces of rice paper."

"I want five thousand!"

"

I also want [-] copies, and I want it now. "

"I want……"

One after another.

There were about a dozen or 20 people who came, and everyone wanted a huge amount.

The shopkeeper suddenly felt bad, and when he was about to refuse, someone shouted: "Why, you Jing family don't plan to sell it? Could it be a lie to announce your low price with great fanfare?"

Can the shopkeeper be called a liar?

Naturally not.

I thought it was a business anyway, so I just sold it.

Thus.

In front of Jingjiazhi's shop, it lasted for several days from morning to night, and from morning to night the next day.

The speed of selling can't keep up with the speed of paper making, and we can't wait for the rice paper to be shipped from other places.

Thus, Jing Yeshu came to Genshan Town for the fifth day.

He was told by the people below that all the rice paper in the town had been sold out, and there were quite a few people standing outside the shop, all waiting to buy.

Jing Yehua was overjoyed at first.

It's as if business has gotten so good.

Then I asked the shopkeeper carefully, and I couldn't understand it, and said angrily: "You idiot, how can ordinary scholars buy so much at once? Zhuang Xinyan must have made a fool of you!" .”

This time, he sold the rice paper at a low price, which was equivalent to losing as much as he sold.

Jing Yehua suppressed his anger, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Zhuang Xinyan, you sent someone to buy my rice paper just to make me lose money. My Jing family really can afford it, but I don't believe you, Zhuang Xinyan. able to afford it.”

So, he ordered that, in the same way, send people to buy Xishan paper again, and buy it wantonly.

If you want to lose, let's lose together.

Such a low price war.

It went on like this for half a month.

Jing Yeshu looked at the account books every day. In the past half month, he had lost almost 6000 taels of silver to go out.

In addition to the money from selling rice paper at a loss, half of the money was used to buy Xishan paper.

He was calculating the account books day and night. Although he didn't reach the point where he couldn't support it, he still felt a little distressed when he saw the money flowing out.

At this time, he could only continue. If Zhuang Xinyan could bear it, he would naturally be able to bear it.

however.

Can Zhuang Xinyan carry it?

Of course he can bear it.

Even, he is willing to carry it for as long as possible.

At this time of night, the three of them were still sitting in the study.

Qiao Zhe has been doing calculations and clearing the account books, and the sound of fiddling with the abacus can't stop ringing in the study.

It wasn't until a moment later that he put down the account book in his hand, raised his head slightly, and said with a smile on his face, "We have received 360 taels of silver in this half a month."

Zhao Bin's eyes widened, "There are really so many?"

Qiao Zhe nodded heavily, "There are so many."

After confirming, Zhao Bin clapped his palms violently, and he couldn't help laughing: "I really want to see the face of the Jing family who knows, if he knows that we have received so much money, he will be so angry that he vomits blood." .”

Zhuang Xinyan also raised the corners of his mouth.

Income.

That's right, from the outside for the past half month, the two Zhuang Jing families are fighting against Taiwan. The two sell rice paper at a low price, and they even send people to buy up the rice paper that the other party sells at a loss.

Just waiting to see which one supports first.

however.

Zhuang Xinyan never intended to do such a stupid thing.

In terms of price, the two of them seem to have directly cut the price by half, but in fact, at this price, Xishan Paper still has some slight profits. Although it is very small, it will definitely not lose money.

What's more, the price of Jing's paper is now lower than theirs.

He bought it wantonly, and used the method to replace the unique pattern of Jingjia paper on the rice paper with the pattern of Xishan paper, and then sold it to the people who came to buy it from Jingjia.

Although the process of changing the pattern is a little troublesome, the price of [-] sheets of rice paper from Jingjia Paper is five cents lower than that of their Xishan Paper.

The rice paper they changed the patterns on was changed, replaced it with Xishan paper and put it in the shop, and the people from the Jing family bought it back at a price of more than five yuan for a hundred sheets.

In this way, it is difficult for them not to make money.

Zhuang Xinyan said: "The three of us will share evenly with those who have given a fraction to those who have worked so hard for half a month."

"How can this work?" Zhao Bin quickly refused, and the three of them divided the 1000 taels, and each of them was more than 300 taels.

Earning more than 300 taels in half a month was something he couldn't even imagine.

"It's indeed too much, and besides, we didn't contribute much." Qiao Zhe also said.

Zhuang Xinyan said: "We can't do such a good business for long, the next is the most critical time, and then you can put in a lot of effort, maybe it's okay."

His words are not false.

This time it was just a coincidence, the Jing family was really easy to deal with, so they wouldn't have been in the rice paper business for so many years.

What he has to do now is nothing more than a stalemate, and the one thing that can decide whether to win or lose is the help he is waiting for, which is the news from Shangjing, but he doesn't know when there will be news from Shangjing, and what it will be like news.

These are things that he has no way to control, but can only wait for the result.

If it works, everything will become simple, but if it doesn't work, things will be a little complicated.

……

With more and more deficits in the account, Jing Yeshu gradually became a little uneasy.

Especially in one part of the workshop, when he saw the mountain paper piled up high, he had a gloomy expression.

This person, one of them came forward, he bowed his waist slightly and said flatteringly: "Master, what do you think about this batch of rice paper?"

Jing Yeshu originally planned to leave just like that, but after hearing these words, he didn't know why, so he walked towards the place where the other party's Xishan Paper was.

The man hurriedly said again: "The Xishan paper came out suddenly after all, look at it, master, this paper is very poor, and the hair roots can be seen at the corners, especially the Xishan pattern on it, which is even more crooked. Crooked and twisted, completely irregular."

Unexpectedly, Jing Yeshu suddenly brought a stack of rice papers to him. When he took a closer look, his face became darker and darker, especially when the people around him kept belittling the rice papers. Angrily said: "You bastard, this is Jing Jiazhi!"

At the same time, Jing Yeshu really felt a sweetness in his throat, he gritted his molars and said: "Zhuang Xinyan, you are too deceitful!"
