Seed dealers in ancient times

Going out to play is no less exhausting than being busy, and when you come back from having fun, you will be very tired, and it will be dawn when you wake up.

Zheng Jiang stopped at home to have a late breakfast. Just as he put down his chopsticks, Huang Jingyi hurried in. Seeing that the people were still eating, he stood by and waited to speak.

"You are in a hurry, but what happened?"

"Master, just now I heard from a buddy that there are a lot of people who look like shopkeepers in the city selling things from our seasoning shop."

Zheng Jiang asked unhurriedly, "Did you see someone?"

Huang Jing thought that Zheng Jiangting was still doubting the credibility of the matter, and said directly: "Old slave heard the news and went to the street to see it himself, it is true."

Zheng Jiang stopped to glance at Huang Jingyi: "Of course I know it's true. I ordered this from Doubanfang the other day, and they are all villagers from Yangmu Village."

At that time, in order to select a group of people who went south, he asked Cai Lin to distribute the things of Doubanfang, and gave them to the villagers at a price lower than the market price. It can be seen that whether it is suitable to go south to sell things will be decided.

There are quite a few villagers who come to sign up and participate. Anyway, if you sell one, you can earn a few pennies. If you can sell one, you can count it as one. If you sell goods from Zhongnan, you will earn more.

When Zheng Jiang stopped to go out to watch the battle, the city was bustling with activity.

Villagers infiltrated the entire city, some went to restaurants to sell, and some went to residential alleys to sell. The timid only dared to sell on the street, the brave dared to enter restaurants to sell, and even knocked on doors in residential alleys.

The market in the city has long been opened by Zheng Jiangting. The bottom line is that it is easy to sell, and it is not easy to sell if it is not good.

Many places such as restaurants and restaurants have ordered goods directly in the shop, and the villagers can’t sell them at all when they go to sell them. However, some small restaurants, such as noodle shops and small stalls, may sell some. Anyway, they didn’t order in the shop. If you want to buy it, it is better to buy it directly to your door. You may buy a lot at a time. Of course, this is only a good situation. The bad situation is that the hawker thinks that what he is selling is fake and refuses to buy it.

There may be more people who buy in Minxiang, but they buy less. It is estimated that the amount sold in a day is about the same as that sold in a restaurant.

All in all, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Zheng Jiangding only needs to go to the village to see the results in three days.

Taking advantage of this gap, Zheng Jiangting and Hu Jinxin studied the route to the south.

To the east of Jincheng is Yong'an, a large provincial city in the south of the Yangtze River. The famous silk and satin shop and porcelain shop opened in Jincheng all get their goods from Yong'an. Hu Jinxin opened up a market there in the early years, but the competition from the big provincial city Big, the development of the construction team in the past was not too optimistic.

"It's the best arrangement to sell goods to Yong'an this time. First, it's a southern provincial capital. Second, it's prosperous and inclusive, and it's easy to accept new things." Zheng Jiang paused: "But Yong'an is a little far away."

From Jincheng to Yong'an, if there is no delay on the road, it will take five days to focus on the journey.

"It's a bit far away, but there are three small counties along the way of Yong'an. You can go to the small counties first to sell some, and go there step by step." Hu Jinxin pointed to the map: "The first county town that Jincheng passed was Lincheng. High, you can go by boat, we are upstream, and it will take half a day to get there."

Zheng Jiang paused and said, "It's fast to go by boat, and the goods are easy to load, but what about horses and carts? If you bring them on the boat together, you'll need a big boat. If you don't bring carts and horses, you'll have to get Lincheng." Go set it up."

After Hu Jinxin thought about it, it was indeed the reason.

Zheng Jiang stopped and said again: "How long will it take to reach Lincheng if we go by land?"

"It will take a day to get there by car and horse, and we can arrive before dark."

"For the sake of convenience, let's go by land."

After customizing the route and purchasing horses and chariots, within three days, Zheng Jiang stopped and went to Yangmu Village early in the morning.

Cai Lin sent out a total of [-] people to sell things. The number of things sold was different, the most was nearly a hundred catties, and the few were less than ten catties. Zheng Jiangting kept the top ten first.

"The least one left was sold for [-] catties, which is not bad. Now I want to hear how you sold it." Zheng Jiang stopped, looking like a lottery prize, and said with a smile: "Let's start from the tenth." Speak."

"I am a hawker along the street. I have fast legs and a loud voice. I can yell for a long distance. Customers follow the sound and come to buy."

Zheng Jiangting nodded slightly, wrote down the name in the notebook, and noted the two characteristics of good physical strength and loud voice at the back.

"next."

"I was running on the street, and a big family asked about the situation, and bought thirty catties together."

Zheng Jiangting frowned slightly, remark: luck.

The one behind saw the one in front started, and before Zheng Jiang stopped talking and saw the one in front finished, the governor started to say: "I persuaded a few widows and little brothers and girls to buy it, hehe."

Hearing this, Zheng Jiangting couldn't help but looked up at the man who was speaking. He was not too old, but he was really handsome, which was interesting. Zheng Jiangting wrote down the word "beautiful".

One after another, they reached the first place.

"I sold it door-to-door in Minxiang. I bought four catties and got two cents less. Many people who were willing to buy bought two copies to save money."

Zheng Jiang smiled appreciatively, thick-skinned is the basis for sales promotion, clever use of sales methods is the icing on the cake, and the number one happens to be all, he is very satisfied.

Looking back at the contents recorded in the book, he kept all the ones with advantages, and eliminated them all due to luck. There were only seven left. Including the five peddlers selected before, there are ten in total. Two people are almost there.

Doubanfang hurriedly rushed away two thousand catties of goods, Hu Jinxin took eight hundred, and Zheng Jiangting kept the bulk alone.

After people and goods are ready, it is already mid-April.

"I heard that the weather in Yong'an is quite warm. I packed your clothes for you. I'm afraid it will rain and cold. I'll pack you two thicker clothes. Don't catch the cold if you go there."

"I know you don't like tidying up when you're out. I prepared all the convenient clothes you like to wear on a daily basis. I'm afraid you won't be able to change and wash them during the day, so I asked the silk and satin shop to make two for you."

Chu Xian hasn't slept well in the past few days, and his eyelids are black and blue. Zheng Jiangding knows that he is reluctant to go far away by himself. After all, they have not separated since they got married for so long, and this point is still a long time.

"I heard that Yong'an is prosperous and prosperous. If it is true and the business is going well, then I will take you to Yong'an to have a look next time."

Chu Xian smiled gently. It was indeed a good place to hear her mother talk about Yong'an before, otherwise her mother would not be full of nostalgia when she recalled it.

"it is good."

Before the couple expressed their heartfelt feelings, Zou Yun hurriedly came into the room with his things.

"I don't know when I'll be back from this trip. Seeing that my daily necessities have been prepared by Brother Xian, I have to make some snacks for you to eat on the way."

It is inconvenient to drag things out, so the goods are loaded into three cars, plus the daily necessities and clothes of the accompanying shopkeeper, and a dozen people's things are another car. Zheng Jiang has the most things parked among rough old men. That's right, no one in the host family dared to say anything, but Zheng Jiangting also found it troublesome, but when he thought it was his wife's and mother's wishes, he took everything he could.

"Okay, I'll bring the snacks, don't prepare anything, I won't be able to take them down by then."

The family sent people out, there was only one carriage outside the house, and the caravan was waiting at the gate of the city.

Before Zheng Jiang stopped the carriage, he gave Huang Jingyi a few more words: "Take care of the master husband and old lady, and wait for me to deal with things when I come back."

"Don't worry, master, I will definitely do my job well."

Zheng Jiang stopped to take a deep look at Chu Xian, and parting was imminent. He always felt that the person standing at the door was thinner than before, and he retracted his foot on the carriage. He took it into his arms.

Chu Xian curled her fingers, and raised her hand to caress Zheng Jiangting's shoulder: "I'll wait for you to come back. Go, don't delay."

Zheng Jiangting slowly let him go.

"Mom, take care of yourself."

"Don't worry."

The carriage creaked and rolled over the bluestone slab, and disappeared at the corner of the alley. Chu Xian let out a long breath, but couldn't express the melancholy in his heart. Looking back, he saw that Zou Yun's eyes were red, and tears started to fall.

"Mom, what's wrong with you!"

Zou Yun waved his hand: "It's okay, my mother is getting old, and the wind and sand can't distract my eyes."

"It's windy and chilly outside today, let's go in quickly."

Chu Xian helped the man to walk into the house. He knew in his heart that Zou Yun was also reluctant to stop Zheng Jiang. At the beginning, he just went to other counties to sell goods. Although it has been a long time now, Zou Yun still has some palpitations in his heart. .

Chu Xian didn't have time to worry about worrying about comforting others.

Zheng Jiang stopped here all the way to the outside of the city, and the convoy was ready to go. Originally, Zheng Jiang's convoy was already small and large, and with Hu Jinxin's, the combination of the two teams improved a lot. One can tell at a glance that it is a caravan doing business.

He actually thought it was weird to be so ostentatious, but Hu Jinxin said thoroughly that the road they took this time was very safe, and a large team has great benefits. Although the target is large, there are many people. had a certain deterrent effect.

Everything has two sides, the main thing is to see which side is more malleable.

Hu Jinxin, who was in the middle of the caravan, heard the sound of the horses being stopped, and lifted the curtain of the carriage: "You are here, and I will treat you as if you are reluctant to leave if you are late."

Zheng Jiang stopped to urge the servant who was driving the car to drive the car over: "I'm laughing at the long wait."

"Maybe it's time to start?"

The sun was rising outside the city gate, and the golden light was scattered on half of the city wall. The freshness of flowers and plants was wrapped in the April wind. Zheng Jiangting was in high spirits: "Let's go!"

At sunset, the caravan arrived at Lincheng on the map, and there was a curfew in the small town, thanks to the fact that there was no delay on the way, if they came later, the gates of the city would be closed.

After the caravan entered the city and found a place to stay, everyone was tired all day and took out dry food. Those who accompanied Zheng Jiang were all villagers who couldn't bear the money to eat in restaurants. They ate big cakes brought from home. The steamed buns are filled with the water in the gourd. Although the taste is not good, it fills the stomach after all.

Hu Jinxin brought most of the servants who were born in the family. Although they were protected by the boss to guarantee board and lodging, they came out to do business after all, not to play, and probably they all ate not much better than the villagers. Therefore, the two teams enjoyed themselves happily. No class animosity arose.

Zheng Jiang stayed in the small room on the second floor of the inn. He didn't order any food at the inn. He dug out the dim sum prepared by Zou Yun from his bag. He said he ate it on the road, but he didn't think of it at all.

In order to reduce the space and make it easier to carry, Zou Yun never used a food box, but used the oiled paper wrapped in the supper in the restaurant. When the burden was opened, there were three small oiled paper bags inside.Zheng Jiangting unpacked them one by one, and found a package of yam cakes in the shape of snow-white peach blossoms. He doesn't like sweets, but this yam cake is sweet but not greasy. It is the only cake he said was delicious.

The other pack was scallion pancakes. When the last pack was opened, Zheng Jiangting couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be a whole marinated chicken gizzard, and it was served with chili noodles. Chu Xian probably prepared it. On weekdays, he drinks a little wine at home and likes to eat whole braised chicken gizzards with wine, Chu Xian knows it best.

He felt warm in his heart, someone thought that no matter how far he traveled, he still had roots to depend on, unlike before, when he drove from one village to another city and wandered, he felt that it was the same wherever he stopped.

To live up to the wishes of the family, the pastry is just chicken gizzards, and it is refreshing to eat.

"You kid actually closed the door to eat and drink!"

Hu Jinxin lived in a room opposite Zheng Jiangting, and when he opened the door, he caught people eating.

"Come, come, come! Let's go together." Zheng Jiang poured a cup of tea and invited Hu Jinxin to sit down: "It's just after eating, let's go out for a stroll together, and see if we continue our journey tomorrow or sell things in the city."

Hu Jinxin was not too polite, he sat down and the two of them ate and drank. Fortunately, there was enough food, and the two elders were full.

The evening breeze was blowing, and the lights in the city were already lit. There were many lanterns hanging on the streets, but not many were lit. After nightfall, the streets were gray.The two walked on the main street, and their perception was not much different from the alleys in Jincheng.

"I see that Lin Cheng's business is not doing well."

The depression in the city really made Zheng Jiangting feel that there is no need to waste time here: "Why don't we just stay in the morning tomorrow and let the guys go out for a run, the main thing is to let them practice their hands, and they can sell a little. .Anyway, it’s a message from Jincheng. If there’s some business to do, it’s easier to buy in our city than in other counties.”

"Okay, do as you say."

The two returned to their residence and discussed the arrangement with the people below. When the market opened tomorrow, they would each take their things out to sell, no matter whether the things were sold or not, they would come back at noon to gather for the next place.

After receiving the task, everyone packed up and fell asleep early, and they will be able to show their skills tomorrow, both happy and a little uneasy.
