The Only Favorite Ugly Husband

In ancient times, the information was not smooth, the logistics were inconvenient, and the money in the hands of the common people was very little, so that the vast majority of merchants did very little business. Although there were also rich merchants and tycoons, they were a minority after all, and they were basically talking to the government. Only when you have a relationship can you make a lot of money.

For example, the sweet-scented osmanthus Xia's family, who was married to the Xue family in the red building, was only in the flower business, but because they were registered in the household department, they earned back gold and silver.But to be honest, their business is limited to "the sweet-scented osmanthus bureaus in the city and outside the city, all belong to his family", which is completely incomparable with the situation of modern chain stores opening all over the country.

Because of this, those merchants who came together to buy goods did not dare to buy too much goods, and the situation in Hecheng County could actually consume the amount of goods they bought.

Jiang Zhen bought a cargo like this... They all thought Jiang Zhen was crazy.

Wang Haisheng was also a little worried when he heard the words. They did buy a lot of goods. He felt that with so many things, he might not be able to sell them for a lifetime...

But anyway, there are real things, and they are all very durable, at worst, I can keep them for myself.

"We plan to go to various places and sell as we go." Jiang Zhen explained, but he didn't say that he actually wanted to go to Fucheng to sell. Of course, even if he told these people that he wanted to go to Fucheng to sell, these people might not agree. I understand—there are also sea goods merchants in Fucheng. When Jiang Zhen goes there to do business, how can he compete with the local merchants there?

"It turns out that if you go to remote villages more, you should be able to sell some." The man said, looking at Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng sympathetically. The two people's business has not opened up, so they can only eat and sleep like this. run around...

These sea goods merchants stayed in this fishing village for a day and two nights before leaving, and Jiang Zhen took this opportunity to understand the situation of the fishing village and the private salt he had been thinking about before.

The price of salt outside is very expensive, but in this fishing village, no one makes salt and sells salt, and there are many reasons.

At this time, the salt-making process was not as good as that of later generations. The salt of later generations was all dried out, and the manpower and material resources required were not much, so the fine salt in the supermarket was only two or three yuan a pack, and it was cheap for one yuan. Buy a pack, but this year is different.

Nowadays, people make salt mainly by boiling it with fire. In this way, making salt is more troublesome and requires more firewood.

Because of this, it is easier to control the people on the side of the salt field and prevent them from making salt. For example, in this fishing village, people from the side of the Hongjiang Salt Field will send people over to look at it from time to time, and they find that there are people logging and cooking too much salt. , Either kill or catch, as time goes by, no one dares to boil too much salt.

After learning more, Jiang Zhen let go of his previous idea of ​​selling private salt.

He didn't think it was such a rebellious idea to sell private salt, because he didn't have much sense of belonging to the current dynasty named Daqi, and he didn't regard it as his own country at all, and the price of one necessities of life was so high Many people can't afford it, and in his opinion, it's too much.

Of course, he didn't intend to advocate justice for the people. He had such thoughts before, mainly for the betterment of his own life.Similarly, if he traveled to the 70s and [-]s, in order to live a good life, he would probably secretly do some speculative things, reselling eggs and food stamps.

After all, in essence, he does not agree with such a system.

However, he wanted to sell private salt mainly to improve his own life, but he didn't intend to lose his life. When he found that this road was not going to work, Jiang Zhen resolutely let it go, but it was a pity.

These days, it is really not easy to make money.

Their small fleet set off again in the early hours of the morning, and when they reached the place where they had been charged a toll of [-] Wen, someone boarded the boat to check again.

The men who boarded the boat were some fierce men, and after they got on the boat, they began to check the things on the boat, especially the salted fish.

Noticing this, Jiang Zhen felt relieved.He had discovered before that none of the people who went with him bought too much salted fish. After thinking about it, he didn't buy much salted fish. Now it seems that he did the right thing.

"What are you doing with these things?" After seeing the goods on Jiang Zhen's boat, the inspectors on board stabbed the clams that Bai Jiang Zhen had packed with fishing nets a few times with a knife.

"It doesn't cost money." Jiang Zhen restrained his aura, looking very non-existent.

"That's right, no money!" The man laughed a few times, then stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhen: "Come on, two taels of silver."

Jiang Zhen didn't ask anything, and gave the other two taels of silver.

"Although he's new here, he's very good." The man said to Jiang Zhen, jumped out of the boat and left.

Their small fleet was released, and it wasn't until this time that those who came here with Jiang Zhen mentioned some rules to Jiang Zhen, for example... For a shipment of two hundred catties of salted fish, at least one offering must be made. Two silvers, this silver will only be more, not less.

These people didn't seem to reject Jiang Zhen, but they still didn't like Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen didn't find it strange, after all, no one would like someone who competed with him for business.

If they were willing to bring him here, they were already treating him well.

After saying hello to those people, Jiang Zhen separated from them. He and Wang Haisheng did not return to Hecheng County, but changed their way to Fucheng.

How to sell his cargo, Jiang Zhen already had an idea in that fishing village by the sea.

It takes almost a day to go from the sea to Fucheng. Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng walked slowly along the river, and arrived at Fucheng in the evening.

Both Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng were very busy along the way.One of them rowed the boat, and the other soaked the dried kelp in water. At first they cut the kelp into several sections and soaked it in the traditional way. Later, Jiang Zhen got bored and couldn’t put too much water in the boat, so he just used the traditional method to dry the kelp. I tied the dried kelp with a rope, threw them directly into the water, let them soak in the river and then fished them up.

After catching it, he took a brush to scrub the kelp, and scrubbed the strips of kelp clean.

As for why Jiang Zhen did this, it is related to the way of eating dried kelp and the way people sell kelp at this time.

People on the beach will make kelp into dried kelp and sell it to sea goods merchants, and when sea goods merchants sell it, they also sell dried kelp directly.

However, the processing method of dried kelp is very troublesome. Not only does it need to be soaked for a day and night, but it also needs to be scrubbed.

A piece of kelp, often a family can't finish it for a few days, after all, if you eat too much, you will get tired.

Because of this, in modern times, no matter in supermarkets or vegetable markets, kelp is basically soaked, cut and sold. Customers can buy as much as they want, but at this time, everyone only sells dried kelp.

Dried kelp is black and dusty, and it doesn't look very good. The price of a piece of kelp is not cheap. If you convert it, the price of a catty of kelp is the same as pork.

Even if a catty of kelp soaked can yield a lot, except for Chinese New Year, ordinary people are really reluctant to spend money on it.

Jiang Zhen planned to soak the kelp and cut it up before selling it.

It takes a lot of effort to do this, but if it can be sold, it is estimated that it can earn a lot more than selling dried kelp, and it is better to sell.

When they arrived in Fucheng, after parking the boat outside the city, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng hurried away.

They soaked the kelp in the river, washed it clean, cut off the unsightly parts, and then cut it into filaments.

The hands of the two were sore from cutting all the time, and they finally cut out [-] catties of kelp. In fact, only [-] catties of dried kelp were used to cut the [-] catties of kelp.

What's more, a hundred catties of dried kelp seemed to be a small amount in bundles, but when it was soaked, it suddenly became too much, and they couldn't even fit it on the boat!

The Fucheng is very large and very prosperous, and it is not comparable to Hecheng County.

Every morning, people from outside the city would come to Fucheng to sell their own vegetables. Some of them walked through the streets and alleys, and some sold them in fixed places.

On this day, a boat appeared in a river in Fucheng. Two men got off the boat, and a lot of salted fish and seaweed were brought down... They were obviously here to sell seafood.

There is a special seaweed store here in Fucheng, and people here like to go to familiar places to buy, so no one noticed them at first, and no one bought from them, until one of them shouted: "Kelp! Kelp costs a penny a bowl!"

A bowl of kelp for a penny?

Why is the kelp sold in a bowl?

Many people looked over in surprise, only to find that someone was selling small, emerald green kelp. The kelp was washed clean and looked very attractive.

"How do you sell this kelp?" asked an old lady carrying a basket.

"That's all, a penny." Jiang Zhen grabbed a handful of sea belts for the old lady.

The handful of kelp he caught looked quite a lot, and if he cooked it at home, he could indeed have a bowl, but in fact the portion was not much. At least he made two or three times as much as selling dried kelp this way.

He made money, and the old lady was very satisfied. She was reluctant to ask her to spend twenty or thirty yuan to sell a large piece of kelp, but she was willing to spend a penny to add a dish to the table.

After the old lady bought the seaweed first, other people also came, most of them asked for a penny of seaweed, some asked for two or three pennies of seaweed, and wanted Jiang Zhen to grab more.

"I caught you too much, I'm going to lose money?" Jiang Zhen smiled, and instead of giving the other party too much kelp, he took two flower clams from the side and gave it away: "Take this, you can give it to the children to play with." .”

Many people in this prefecture city have never seen a clam before, so they were stunned: "What is this?"

"The mussels in the sea have edible meat, but they are relatively small." Jiang Zhen said.When he was in Hexi Village before, he always acted like no strangers should enter, and he didn't like to smile and solicit guests like this in his nature, but he was short of money.

Why didn't you work to do the task before?Isn't it just a little enthusiasm to sell things?Actually nothing.

Of course, he had to do this, mainly because Wang Haisheng not only couldn't attract guests, but he couldn't even count money.

Jiang Zhen's stall was placed by the river, and their boat was parked in the river. At the moment, Jiang Zhen was in charge of selling things, while Wang Haisheng continued to wash kelp.

They have to soak kelp for at least a day before they can sell it. Wang Haisheng is busy with tomorrow's business right now.

Jiang Zhen picked up a lot of flower clams, mainly used them as toppings, and sold some for three cents a catty. When selling them, Jiang Zhen would tell him a few words: "There is sand in this thing, it is best to raise it if you want to eat it." For a few days, I would cook it, dig out the meat, wash it and cook it with pickles.” People here often cook mussels with pickles.

In one day, all three hundred catties of kelp were sold, and a lot of salted fish were also sold, even half of those clams were sold.

They sell salted fish at the same price as others, and they don’t make much money, but kelp is very profitable. Although the price is cheap, it adds up.

It's just that they sell so much kelp, it will take many days for the two of them to sell it, and they should be very busy during this period.

Last night Jiang Zhen was busy making kelp and didn't sleep well. Today, he really didn't want to be busy all night. After thinking about it, he simply "hired" a [-]-year-old boy with two palm-sized salted fish help.

The next day, Jiang Zhen continued to sell kelp.

Those who bought a penny worth of kelp yesterday have basically eaten up all the kelp, and some will buy some more today. In addition, there are some new customers who will come to buy...

Soaking and shredded kelp, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng sold it for a total of ten days. In the last few days, their business was not very good, because other seaweed merchants in Fucheng also learned to soak and cut kelp. silk sold.

After finally thinking of a way to make money, Jiang Zhen felt that it was a pity that he could only make money once, but he was satisfied after counting the money in his hands.

This time he bought goods and paid for the journey, he spent about 12 taels of silver, but he sold things these days, but he sold them for 30 taels of silver.

In other words, he made a total of 18 taels this trip, almost earning back the money to buy the boat.There were even some seafood left on board.

Of course, making money is making money, and they are exhausted...

Jiang Zhen discussed with Wang Haisheng and decided to rest for a day before going back, but he didn't know that at this time, Zhao Jinge's family had already been entangled.
