Seed dealers in ancient times

After picking the Spring Festival, Zheng Jiangting is still doing the business of potato flowers. There are many people during the festival, and the diners are generous, so the business is very good. Now in normal days, the business is not as good as picking the Spring Festival.

Cai Lin made a lot of money on the first day, and on the second day, regardless of Zheng Jiangting's dissuasion, he prepared several large pots of potatoes, but only half of them were sold. Since then, he has honestly reduced the supply, even though the business is not as good as harvesting During the Spring Festival, after all, it can still sell for a hundred yuan a day. Although the business after that is not as good as that of the Spring Festival, it makes people feel a little depressed, but Zheng Jiangting thinks that if it is not because of the opening of the Spring Festival With good publicity, business is not so good nowadays.

Zheng Jiangting didn't just stick to selling potato flowers all the time. About a month later, after waiting for a new batch of tomatoes to ripen, he made some tomato sauce and started selling French fries.

The new product launch business is booming. Potato flowers are more sauce-like, while French fries are sweet and sour. For a while, diners have their own preferences. Girls and brothers like tomato sauce as a dipping sauce very much. French fries, while the man prefers potato flowers, which are good with food and wine.

One of him and Cai Lin is in the north of the city and the other is in the south of the city every day. Usually, they sell at a fixed point of sale every morning. Diners who want to eat will go to the fixed point to buy in the morning. After the morning passes, they will each sell along the street. Earn some money from scattered customers, and when the business is good, they will be sold out before even half of the city is gone.

"Handler, wait! Five servings of fries."

Zheng Jiang Ting had just arrived on the main street when he was stopped by the shopkeeper of Xin Fu Lou. He had already seen the strange thing. Ma Lier threw five servings of French fries into the frying pan, and Xiao Er brought out five plates. The fried crispy golden French fries were placed next to each other on plates, and a spoonful of ketchup was placed on each plate.

The French fries here are not finished yet, and a head stuck out from the upstairs window: "The hawker sent me two large portions of potato chips."

Zheng Jiang paused to answer, and Xiaoer said: "Master is busy, I will send it to you."

"Success, please trouble little brother."

The restaurants on the main street are full of rich and wealthy masters, and some of them want to give rewards when they go there. Zheng Jiang Tingyuan didn't know, but once he went to give two rewards himself, he knew why every time he went to the restaurant Every customer would be so attentive if they wanted to eat potatoes, and he didn't expose it. It would be a waste of time to go hawking on the street by himself, and it would be even more tiring if he ran up and down restaurants. two.

The shopkeeper saw that Xiaoer had left and came out, and while watching Zheng Jiang stop frying potatoes, he said, "Every day I just pass by, there are more than a dozen customers in my restaurant who buy it. The little master's business is doing well, right?"

"It's a joke from the shopkeeper. It's easier to sell it on the main street. There are not many people buying it in other small streets."

The shopkeeper knew that he was speaking modestly. He had eaten potato chips and French fries, and they tasted really good. His concubine, who had just gotten married, loved French fries very much, so he pestered her to buy them back every now and then. And know how easy this business is to do.

If the business is good, some people will pay attention to it. I don’t know how many people have their eyes on this business. It’s a pity that the raw materials of potatoes can’t be bought in the city. I don’t know where the vendor got it. able to look.

The shopkeeper pulled Zheng Jiang to stop and said, "Little master is so tired from walking around the streets every day."

Zheng Jiang stopped laughing: "It's not too tiring. I used to be in the salesman business. I can't do anything else. My legs and feet are good. It's not as rich as the shopkeeper. I guard the big restaurant to do business, and we can only beg for food. eat."

The shopkeeper thought in his heart that he could really speak, he was obviously a shrewd person, no wonder no one knew where the potatoes were obtained from, and seeing that the potatoes were fried and had to leave, he simply stopped making troubles. He said bluntly, "How about I want to discuss a business with the little master?"

Zheng Jiang stopped raising his eyebrows: "The shopkeeper is polite, just say what you say."

"It's better to supply my restaurant directly if you sell it everywhere every day. It will save you a lot of effort."

Supplying goods is simple, and selling them in batches to restaurants is a big income: "The shopkeeper means that I can't sell them outside if I supply them to you?"

"Hey, of course not, you still sell yours, but you can't sell it in my restaurant in the future, what do you think?"

Zheng Jiang stopped laughing and said: "Then this business can be done, how much does the shopkeeper need?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect the business to be so easy to talk about, so he hurriedly said: "You send thirty potato chips and French fries each day before the hour, and I'll see how much I can sell every day."

Zheng Jiang paused and said, "Success, I will send the processed potatoes when the time comes. The shopkeeper's self-provided frying pan is fried, and they can be sold while they are hot. I will charge you a penny less for each potato, and use it as a cost price."

The shopkeeper was overjoyed: "Little master is refreshing!"

Immediately, Zheng Jiangting received a deposit of two hundred cash.

Zheng Jiangting got a big business today and it was very early to finish work. He went to the restaurant to make a phone call, planning to go home early and prepare the potatoes that Xin Fulou wanted. When he returned to the restaurant, he found that there were very few customers today.

Zhang Fu just went to bring back the meal ordered by the academy: "Aren't there a lot of guests? The scholars who rushed to take the exam have returned. I heard that there are two scholars in Jincheng who won the exam. Everyone went to watch the excitement."

When Zheng Jiang stopped counting, he rushed to take the exam in March, and now it is April, and indeed all the scholars have passed the exam and returned, so he couldn't help but think of Li Kesheng.

"Which two won the exam, have you heard of it?"

Zhang Fu whispered: "I made a special inquiry and heard that Li Kesheng failed the ranking."

Zheng Jiang stopped to glance at Zhang Fu, this kid really knows what to say.

Zhang Fu laughed: "I heard that one of the two masters who passed the exam is a son of a rich family in Jincheng, and the other is a poor scholar from a distant village. The original master of the academy had great expectations for Li Kesheng. Yes, it turned out that I didn’t win the election this year.”

"Now people are talking everywhere in the college, saying that this year's examiner is not the same as in previous years. The previous year's examiner prefers gorgeous and beautiful articles, but this year's examiner prefers pragmatic articles. Li Kesheng happened to be wrong. The taste of the examiner."

Zheng Jiang stopped and said: "It's a good thing that the imperial court likes to be pragmatic, otherwise some frail scholars who can write beautiful articles are selected every year, and they will only talk with sore teeth."

Zou Yun heard the sound and stepped forward: "I heard that many shopkeepers who run small businesses have gone to Mr. Juren's house today. Shall we also prepare a gift and go see?"

After the scholar is elected, the family members no longer have to pay taxes, and there is money issued by the court every month, and they are people who eat public food at once. Naturally, many people will come to support them, and those who cannot continue to do business will automatically Please return the family property to Juren's family, so that you don't have to pay taxes after you have asylum, and some people just want to get acquainted, so that they can get one or two cares from the master Juren in the future.

Zheng Jiang stopped and said: "We are not familiar with the two Juren, so there is no need to add icing on the cake. It is the time when there are a lot of gifts, and we will not take them to heart when we go to others. There is no need to give gifts. In addition, our family's business is good. We pay taxes. It’s okay to pay, and there’s no need to send the family property to others for protection.”

Zou Yun nodded. As a woman, she doesn't know much about these things, so she can only rely on Zheng Jiangting to make the decision.

Although Zheng Jiangting is not interested in clinging to the two Juren at the moment, he has a deeper understanding of the customs of the current era. Businessmen love to be involved with officials and lords, so he should rely on this when he looks for opportunities, but It's not that simple to get close. First of all, you can't wait for someone to become famous before you get close. You have to have a pair of discerning eyes, choose someone early and train them.

In the future, let Zhang Fu pay more attention to the poor and ambitious scholars in the academy when he goes to the academy to deliver meals.

Putting away his thoughts, he said, "Brother Xian didn't come over today, did he?"

"Young Master Chu was in the restaurant in the morning, and he went to the bank later. Didn't you say that the butcher who delivered meat to our restaurant before became more and more fond of stealing, raping, and playing tricks? He wants to change to another one. The new butcher appointed today came to collect the deposit , Mr. Chu said that he didn’t have any cash on hand, so he had to go to the bank to change some.”

Zheng Jiang paused and said, "Then I'll go back first."

He didn't go to the bank to find Chu Xian. He had done this many times, so there was no need to worry.

All the way back to Qingwu Lane, the quiet alley in the past is noisy today, and many women are surrounded in Qingshiban Lane.

There was a lot of discussion around, and a sharp voice from the crowd overwhelmed the noise, and Zheng Jiang could hear it from far away: "I blame you, a vixen, because you delayed my life, otherwise I would have been successful!"

The vicious resentment was followed by bursts of crying: "Now the future is all delayed by you, you pay for my son's future!"

As he said, he was about to go forward to scratch Chu Xian, and the spectators hurriedly moved away in fright. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Zheng Jiang ran over quickly. Fortunately, there was a little brother blocking Chu Xian before him. Go ahead, otherwise people will catch Chu Xian: "You are unreasonable, why did you come to our Qingwu Lane to make trouble!"

"Get out of the way, let that vixen talk to me properly!"

"Say it? Why did I tell you that it's fine if my son doesn't have the ability to pass the exam? Why do you let a shrew come to complain about a sick and weak brother? Could it be that this is the style of a scholar's family?"

The woman turned her head and saw Zheng Jiangting, who was tall and burly, and her momentum weakened: "Who are you? It was that vixen who seduced my son first, which caused him to fail the exam. Otherwise, how could my son's talent be so good?" He failed the exam, he is clearly the most valued student of the master, but now he is compared by a poor scholar, all blame him for delaying my son!"

Zheng Jiang stopped being stung by the fox spirit's earache, and he scolded directly: "Who seduced your son? You really think your son is a high-ranking official, pestering my fiancé, I didn't come to ask for trouble, but you came here first Shrew Swearing at the street, let's go, go to the Yamen to say something, don't quarrel with the neighbors in the alley here."

Saying that Zheng Jiangting was about to pull people to see the official, the woman immediately became cowardly: "You, you are taking advantage of the crowd to bully me, a woman, is there any justice!"

Seeing the woman sitting on the ground playing mischievously, the surrounding spectators immediately said: "Whoever bullied you, it's clear that you were the one who made the noise first!"

"Who the hell is this? How shameless!"

The noise was getting louder and louder. Wang's house opened a door, and Wang Liushi liked to watch the excitement the most. She saw the crying outside and called out to Wang Yingying: "Yingying, come and see, it seems to be Chu Xian's house. Something happened."

Wang Yingying was upset about picking the Spring Festival. When she heard that something happened to the Chu family, she suddenly became interested: "Let's go and have a look."

The mother and daughter strolled past hand in hand, heard the sound of abuse and crying, and was thinking about how much trouble Chu Xian had caused, when she squeezed in just now, she found that the woman on the ground looked familiar, and Wang Yingying was shocked Call: "Auntie?"

Wang Liushi woke up when she heard her daughter's voice, she was really Wang Yingying's distant aunt, and the two families were not very close, if it wasn't for Yingying's obsession with Li Kesheng, she insisted on giving some to her during the festivals. Li went, they probably lost contact with the Li family.

She loves to cling to good people the most. The Li family was originally well off, and they had a talented son. It would be great if the two families could get married. She had expressed her intentions before, but the Li family had no intentions. She also secretly laughed at their poor family and hoped to climb the dragon and the phoenix, but she was very angry. After that, she didn't think about the Li family. It's just that Yingying has been stubborn and refused to wander around. After thinking about it, I heard that Zheng Jiangting and Chu Xian were engaged before things started.

Now it was learned that Li Kesheng had failed the ranking and that he was still involved with Chu Xian. The matter was really complicated.

Wang Yingying wanted to help the woman up, but felt that it was embarrassing for people to cry and make noise here. She really regretted calling out the word aunt just now. Why did the high-ranking aunt in the past become like this? She He turned his attention to Wang Liushi for help.

Seeing the woman's embarrassing appearance, Wang Liushi was quite relieved. Li Jinshi had already boasted about Li Kesheng as a man of honor, and heard that he had already accepted the offers of some merchants, and he was only waiting for his son to win the election. She protected the selected merchants, but now her son failed the ranking, and she lost all face. Naturally, she went crazy everywhere and wanted to blame others for her son's failure, not his son's own problems.

She pretended to try to attract people, but picked up the pain point and said: "It's a pity that the guest student failed the ranking, sister-in-law, don't be too sad and break your body, you can take the exam again after you fail the exam this year. You suddenly came to the door and yelled nonsense, didn't you scare me?" Are you my little brother?"

Chu Xian didn't expect that the Wang family and the Li family were related. He just changed money from the bank and was about to go home. He always felt that someone was following him on the way. He thought that someone was malicious to his money. He waited until the alley. Finding out that it was a woman, and the way she opened her mouth was very sinister, it really opened his eyes.

Standing beside Zheng Jiangting, he said to Li Jinshi in a cold voice: "I have nothing to do with Li Kesheng, please be respectful, Madam, and don't make indiscriminate visits in the future, otherwise we won't be polite."

After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Jiangting.

Zheng Jiang stopped holding hands tightly, and squinted at Li Jinshi: "If you don't leave, I will ask you to go out."

Li Jinshi swallowed, a few strands of hair scattered on her forehead, she looked like a crazy woman, she didn't dare to go crazy anymore, she dragged Wang Liushi's hand and went away in a desperate manner.

The spectators dispersed in a rush, and when they saw Zheng Jiang stopped, they all stepped forward to care about Chu Xian: "There are everyone these days, Brother Xian, don't worry about it."

"The next time you meet this kind of thing, call us."

In the end, they were all here to watch the excitement. Chu Xian was clear in his heart, and just now he spoke for Brother Hui from the back alley, but he had to save face, and he said politely, "Thank you everyone."
