Seed dealers in ancient times

Zheng Jiang woke up early the next day, no matter how good the bed is outside, it is not as comfortable as the one at home, which makes people unable to stay in bed.

I thought it was early, the whole inn was empty when I went downstairs.

"Guest officer, would you like some breakfast?"

"One bowl of porridge and two steamed buns are enough."

Zheng Jiang stopped to find a place to sit down, and after a while Xiao Er brought breakfast.

"Hey, when did those shopkeepers who were resting in the inn last night go out?"

"It's been a long time since our inn opened, and we went out with our things when the sun was shining."

Zheng Jiang paused, and quickly went out to check the situation after breakfast.

At this moment, the city has become lively, and there are many people buying and selling vegetables. Zheng Jiang stopped and saw the salesman selling in a restaurant, but he was scolded for not selling the goods, and left the restaurant in despair. out.

"Master Zheng."

Zheng Jiang stopped and patted the salesman on the shoulder: "It's okay, I have a thicker skin. When I first started my business in Jincheng, I was also selling next to restaurants. Try it and someone will buy it.”

The shopkeeper nodded his head, and then mixed into the crowd again.

"45 texts, think about money like crazy, dodge and dodge, don't delay my business."

"It looks passable, but is this edible?"

"Go away, go away, don't buy or buy."

Zheng Jiang stopped and walked for a few streets, and most of the voices he heard were like this.When I returned to the inn at noon, the shopkeepers who had gone out enthusiastically in the morning were all sitting aside, clasped hands and looking sad.

Hu Jinxin's team is almost in the same situation.

Zheng Jiang stopped to look at Mr. Bookkeeper's book, and when he went out in the morning, he brought about ten catties of things with him, some with dried chili, bean paste, oily chili, chopped raw pepper, base, and some alone , Some of them are more comprehensive, but only one or two people have sold out their items, and most of them have brought back their items.

After all, I sold fifty catties of things in the morning, which is not as good as Jincheng's results, so it's no wonder everyone has no confidence.

"I also watched everyone go to sell things today, and their performance is actually not bad. After all, Lincheng is a small county, so let's just treat everyone as a practice. It is Yong'an who really wants everyone to show their skills. Everything is difficult at the beginning, so don't worry about it." Be discouraged, and the road will be fine after the market opens.”

Seeing that Zheng Jiangting, as the owner, never blamed everyone but instead comforted everyone, they were encouraged and their faces improved a lot.

"Okay, hurry up, everyone, those who need to replenish the dry food, make up the dry food, pack up and prepare to go on."

The shopkeepers hurriedly dispersed.

Zheng Jiang didn't see Hu Jinxin when he came back, and was about to go upstairs to find someone in the room. Two middle-aged men hurriedly came outside the inn, holding up their clothes and out of breath: "Stop, but Boss Zheng?"

Hearing that Zheng Jiang paused, he glanced at the two people suspiciously, and looked at ordinary people who were not dressed like ordinary people: "You two are looking for me?"

Seeing that they found the right person, the two looked at each other with a smile and breathed a sigh of relief: "We are here to discuss business with Boss Zheng. I heard that your caravan will leave in the afternoon, so hurry up and come here in time. gone."

"Last month, we went to Jincheng to buy some special dishes recommended by someone to eat some special dishes in Qingfeng Tower, which is unforgettable even now. I heard that there is a seasoning shop that sells seasonings, so I went to buy a lot that day, but unfortunately I couldn't bring too much. Today I heard that a caravan from Jincheng came to the city to sell seasonings, so I found this place after some inquiring."

Zheng Jiang stopped with a smile on his face: "It's really hard for you two. I wonder what you two want to buy?"

"We're planning to get some goods, we are Lin Cheng's restaurant owner."

Zheng Jiang stopped raising his eyebrows: "Two sit down."

"Since you want to get the goods to cook in restaurants, and you have already considered earning money in this area, why not make more money."

"What does Boss Zheng mean?"

"Join my allies."

Zheng Jiangting explained the meaning of joining with the two of them again, and then guided him: "You two must have been to Jincheng and you must know that this product is good for sale. It's just that no one has tasted it in Lincheng. People who will eat it after the market opens If there are too many, won’t other families also pay attention to it, and since that’s the case, if they sell vegetables and ingredients at the beginning, even if their peers do it, they won’t earn as much as you.”

The two merchants pondered for a while. If they opened a shop with the goods, they could also sell them to their counterparts in Lincheng. It was indeed a good choice.

"Okay! Let's join Boss Zheng's alliance!"

Zheng Jiangting immediately signed a contract with the two, talked about the franchise fee and the purchase price, and asked someone to go to Zheng's shop with the proof.

Before leaving, he taught Huang Jingyi these business skills, but he was not worried that he would make mistakes in the past.

Although the goods shipped out did not sell much, Zheng Jiangting was in a good mood. This trip was not just to sell a few truckloads of goods, but mainly to promote their goods, attracting merchants to buy goods and Joining, Lin Cheng's trip was not in vain.

"Xiao Zheng, guess what?"

Zheng Jiangting had just sent the people back, when he saw Hu Jinxin coming out of the inn with a smile: "I also said where you went, you are in such a good mood, can something good happen?"

Hu Jinxin said: "Just now the owner of the inn asked me to discuss business. It is not a good thing to get goods from the shop."

Zheng Jiangting: "That's double happiness."

The two exchanged news and laughed together.

Lin Cheng was delayed for half a day, and it took two days to arrive at the next county seat. He did not find an inn on the road that day, so he borrowed a farmer's yard to rest for the night. When they arrived in the city, everyone was a little tired. According to Lin Cheng's arrangement mode, after resting and rectifying sales, the caravan continued to set off.Along the way, the most delays were in the county town. Originally, it only took five days to arrive at Yong'an, but it was delayed until the eighth day.

It was noon on the day of arriving at Yong'an.

On the official road close to Yong'an, there are more people visible to the naked eye. Passing sedan chairs and carriages abound, and even bumped into two caravans who were also entering the city.

When we arrived at the entrance of Yong'an City, the majestic city walls shaded by misty rain and apricot blossoms could not stop the noise and prosperity in the city. !"

Zheng Jiang stopped to lift the curtain of the sedan chair. After comparing with the previous counties, Yong'an gave people a very intuitive impression of prosperity.

"Let's go into the city, enter the city one moment earlier, and wander around a little longer."

The wheels of the car turned and rolled over the stone slabs of the century-old city, and the caravan entered the city with joy.

"Seed cakes, sesame cakes!"

"Shixin satins are sold cheap!"

"Does the guest officer want to stay? Our inn is big and spacious, and it is easy to accommodate carriages and horses."

As soon as they entered the city, the peddlers surrounded them, shouting one after another, the battle was astonishing, and the cars and horses stopped slowed down.

"Guest officer, don't leave. Our inn is specially built for caravan travelers. The price is affordable, and the Datong room is well paved."

Zheng Jiang stopped to see that people had been following the carriage to sell, thinking that he was looking for a place to live anyway, so he said, "Let us take a look and live if it suits you."

"It's suitable, it's very suitable, I guarantee your satisfaction!" After the man finished speaking, he trotted to the front of the convoy: "Everyone, follow me!"

It's not too far, it's just two streets away, and I stopped at Zhengjiang along the way, but I didn't want to put down the curtains of the car, and looked all the way to the inn.

Hu Jinxin looked at the inn together. Although it was a little out of the way, it was better than quiet, so he settled in the inn.

After the goods were sorted out and the people who stayed behind were arranged, Zheng Jiang stopped and Hu Jinxin sent everyone to scout the spot, and the two also went out for a stroll together.

"I haven't been to Yong'an for two years. The people here have already arranged a meal after receiving the letter. Let's go to taste the specialties of Jiangnan together."

Zheng Jiang sat in a carriage all the way, and his bumpy butt hurt. Now walking a few steps on the street is much more comfortable, and he has a lot of interest in eating and drinking.

There are many restaurants in Yong'an, and the people watching are dazzled, because they can't let the bearers deliver them directly because they don't take the sedan chair, so they can only ask people to go there. To Zheng Jiangting's surprise, there were still a lot of customers in the restaurant after the meal, almost catching up with the restaurants in Jincheng.

When I came here, I heard Hu Jinxin say that Yongan people love to eat and play, and what he said is true.

A small private room was booked upstairs, and what was waiting was the manager of a construction team that Hu Jinxin had arranged here in the early years. After the two met, they didn't talk nonsense, and they were really hungry.A table of common dishes, such as chicken, duck, fish and other big dishes are indispensable.

"Xiao Zheng, you should try Yong'an's eight-treasure duck. There are many rice fields and rivers in this area. The common people like to raise ducks, and the ducks they make are delicious."

"There is also braised pork with pickled vegetables, and preserved vegetables are best served with rice."

"Glutinous rice lotus root, soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy."

"Stir-fried eel!"

Zheng Jiang stopped moving his chopsticks and tried one by one. Although they were all dishes he had eaten, he really didn't eat them often in Jincheng. Today, he ate them not only delicious, but also tasted the taste of reunion after a long absence.

After the meal, there was dim sum and soup again, and the exhaustion from traveling for several days was swept away after a meal.

Zheng Jiangting went downstairs with Hu Jinxin with a full stomach. Hu Jinxin was going to check the accounts of his own shop, so the two didn't go back together.

Zheng Jiangting was the only one left and simply walked back slowly along the way he came. He also ate his food along the way. He saw some small vendors selling fried chestnuts on the road, and went to buy some with itchy hands. The shell was still hot when he squeezed it open. Yes, the taste is glutinous and powdery, very fragrant.

Zheng Jiangting was in a good mood, turned around and went into the shop: "Man, prepare a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for me, what more papers are there!"

"Okay!"

"Remember there are envelopes!"

After being out for seven or eight days, the road was bumpy and tiring, and Zheng Jiangting had no time to write letters to his family. Now that he has arrived in Yong'an safely, it is time to write two letters to Brother Xian.

After picking up the things to write the letter, he took the things and walked to the Ganlai Inn where he was staying.

Xiaoxian, everything is fine at home. My husband has arrived in Yong'an safely, and now we are staying at the Qianlai Inn. Everything is going well.

Yong'an is prosperous, and there are many delicacies. Today, try eight-treasure duck, sugar-fried chestnuts, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and taro balls.

……

In a starry night, a lamp flickers.

Chu Xian sat at the table, opened the letter paper and read it again, but felt that it was not enough, and read the letter from the beginning to the end in a murmur, as if he was actually there, as if he could see the tall and handsome man sitting in the restaurant in the south of the Yangtze River. During the trip, eat local specialties and taste the taste.

If he sits next to him again, the dishes that are praised as delicious will definitely arrive in the bowl without using chopsticks.

Thinking about it, Chu Xian let out a long breath, and stroked the ink that had dried up with her fingertips, as if she could touch the palm and back of the person who wrote the letter through the vigorous ink on the paper.

It's May, and it's not yet summer. The crickets hiding in the yard and the frogs somewhere are already screaming for joy.

He carefully collected the letter paper, carefully folded it into the envelope, and went to the window to set up the window. The moonlight is very good tonight, and the moonlight spilled in when the window was opened.

Chu Xian looked at the bright moon like a hook, the moon shines on both the south and the north, wondering if there is anyone he wants to see.
