The Golden County Magistrate

"What! There is such a good thing! I want to save it too!" Qu Moyue was excited.

"Aren't you planning to buy cosmetics tomorrow?" Bai Lu smiled.

"Spending money is not as good as making money! Besides, money makes money, how can I miss such a good thing of making money for free? Wait, I'll get my silver box!" Qu Moyue jumped up, turned around and ran out.

Bai Lu didn't care. They were sisters. She had to save money anyway, and helping her bring it was just a matter of convenience.

After a while, a cheer suddenly came from outside: "Is there such a good thing? I want to save it too!"

Bai Lu was stunned, got up and walked to the door to look outside, only to see a group of Fengling Guards surrounding Qu Moyue, who was chattering non-stop, and everyone around was surprised.

Bai Lu was speechless.

This girl, although not big-mouthed, is really talkative!

Soon, the news spread throughout the Fengling Guards.

Many people found it hard to believe and thought that there was no such good thing in the world, but many people believed that Bai Lu would never lie to them, and they directly brought their savings of many years to ask her for help and took them to Qingshan County to deposit silver.

They were all sisters, so Bai Lu couldn't refuse, so she had to take out paper and pen and write down everyone's name, silver, etc.

"Wow! What is this?" Seeing the strange paper and pen in her hand, all the girls were surprised.

"This is a fountain pen, and this is a notebook. They were all bought in Qingshan County. They are expensive. Ten taels of silver!" Bai Lu saw that all the sisters were envious and felt a little proud.

Girls, who doesn't have some vanity?

After writing it down one by one, more than 30 people, all the silver added up, collected more than 10,000 taels of silver.

After sending the sisters away, Bai Lu looked at the pile of silver and was a little worried.

How to take so much?

...

The night was as dark as ink, in the mansion of the official of the land.

He Jinyao looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "Have you taken note?"

The middle-aged man was called Zhu Yiyan. Like Zhou Yang, he was also He Jinyao's confidant.

At this time, he said solemnly, "I have taken note! But..."

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, He Jinyao said, "You can say whatever you want."

Zhu Yiyan hesitated and said, "Sir, on the first day of opening, you prepared 3,000 kilograms. Is it too much?"

He was the backbone of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally handled a lot of business.

But he had never done pork business.

This time He Jinyao called him to take care of this matter, and Zhu Yiyan was a little unhappy.

The business he was handling was the most important and profitable business of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce before. Now he was suddenly transferred to open a pork shop, and he felt like he was demoted.

But since Sir He had given the order, he naturally did not dare to disobey it, so he had to prepare with all his heart.

And tomorrow, the pork shop will open.

He Jinyao called him over, checked all matters one by one, and finally told him to prepare 3,000 kilograms of freshly slaughtered pork tomorrow.

Hearing this, Zhu Yiyan almost choked.

Even if Lord He has never eaten pork, he should have seen pigs run, right?

It was good enough that someone bought that thing, but he actually prepared 3,000 kilograms at once. Are they preparing to let it all go bad?

According to his idea, at most he would sell a hundred kilograms tomorrow, so he would just need to prepare a little.

And even if it was only a hundred kilograms, it would probably be difficult to sell out.

At this moment, he finally couldn't help but put forward his own opinion, but unexpectedly He Jinyao stroked his beard and smiled: "Not much, I guess it is definitely not enough. But for the time being, there is only this much, so I have to make do with it."

Zhu Yiyan: "..."

Not enough?

Lord He might be a little confused. If he was selling mutton, he could lower the price to 200 wen per kilogram, and perhaps he could sell 3,000 kilograms in one day.

Now he is selling pork!

Seeing his expression, He Jinyao suddenly came to his senses and slapped his forehead: "I almost forgot, Yiyan, you still haven't tasted this pork, right? No wonder you have such doubts."

Before that, all his energy outside of state affairs was put on Yaochi Xianniang, and he had no time to deal with other business.

Even Zhu Yiyan was transferred here temporarily, and he was confident in using his confidant.

So there was no time to tell him everything in detail.

Zhu Yiyan hurriedly said: "I have eaten pork."

He Jinyao laughed: "You don't understand, this pig is not that pig! Don't worry, if this thing goes wrong, I will never blame you."

Zhu Yiyan thought to himself how many differences there were in pork, and didn't take it to heart.

But when it came to this point, he had to suppress the countless opinions in his heart and opened the booklet he had just taken from He Jinyao, which recorded all the matters that needed to be paid attention to after the opening of the pork shop.

When he saw the price of pork, his face suddenly changed and he looked up at He Jinyao: "Sir! Is this price wrong??”

He Jinyao was not surprised by his reaction and said, “Let’s leave it like this for now. We’ll see if there’s a need for adjustment after a while, and then we’ll consider how much to increase the price.”

Increase?

Zhu Yiyan felt that either the adults had a problem with their mouths or his ears.

At this price, it’s still going up? Then it’s still selling!

In the middle section of Changning Street, Zhou’s Pork Shop has been basically renovated, and a sign is hung outside, saying that it will officially open tomorrow.

At the end of Changning Street, Yan’s Meat Shop has closed, and the two stood at the door, looking at Zhou’s Pork Shop from afar.

This street is a famous meat street, with more than 20 meat shops, supplying more than 80% of the meat in the capital.

The livestock and poultry raised by the Zhou family are mainly cattle, sheep and chickens, among which the most famous is Yan’s Meat Shop.

Not only does it supply The fresh meat of Ying's livestock and poultry, and a large amount of wild animal meat for sale.

Many dignitaries bought meat from him, and even the meat in the palace was partly supplied by Yan's Meat Shop.

Only in the capital, the most prosperous place under the feet of the emperor, can there be such a street of meat jerky.

In other places, most of them are scattered and cannot form a scale at all.

There is no way. In this year, the people are poor, most of them are from farming families, and very few can afford to eat meat.

At this time, there are two people standing in front of Yan's Meat Shop. One of them is the shopkeeper, surnamed Ni, and the other is the owner of Yan's Meat Shop, Yan Rong.

"Fresh, really fresh! There is a shop specially opened to sell pork? Ha!" Yan Rong smoked a dry pipe and muttered with obvious sarcasm.

"It's a pity to waste such a good shop. "Manager Ni sneered.

Pork is also sold in their shop.

Wild boars hunted by pig farmers, and sometimes some farmers raise pigs by themselves, have been processed many times to remove most of the fishy smell.

However, even so, the meat is still tough and smelly. It is the cheapest meat in their shop, only 200 coins per catty.

But it is still the most unsalable meat in the shop.

In the eyes of the two, opening a shop to sell pork is not to make money, but to think that one has too much money and is eager to lose it!
