The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Shitou lost his parents when he was young, and was later adopted by an old couple in the village. The old couple was not rich, and Shitou had been eating at other people's houses until he was six years old. The people in the village felt sorry for him, so they squeezed out a bite from their own rations to feed the child and prevent him from starving to death.

Later, the old couple passed away. At that time, it happened that the Li family's house was recruiting people, so Lao Zhao brought Shitou here. Anyway, they needed people, and the house at that time could support another child.

When the child grows up, he can also be a companion to the young man. Those who have been raised since childhood are more loyal than those recruited from outside.

Now Shitou has been living in the house, and the house provides food and accommodation, and he lives a happy life.

"Just take it if you give it to you, and you deserve it." Li Fu said, "You negotiated this deal beautifully today, and this is your reward."

"Don't tell me you don't need any money, young man, you still have to save money to get married in the future." Li Fu said with a smile.

Old Zhao, who was standing at the side, smiled when he heard this.

Yes, they are all grown-up men, including her husband.

"Shitou, take the reward from your husband. Your husband is right. You don't need it now, but you will need it in many places in the future." Old Zhao said with a smile.

Shitou scratched his head embarrassedly.

He hadn't even thought about marrying a wife yet.

Since it had come to this, Shitou couldn't refuse and agreed.

However, if the manor was repairing a canal, he would definitely help.

Although he was young at that time, he also had memories. If it weren't for the big guys in the manor, he, an orphan, would have starved to death. Although the two old men who adopted him were no longer around, he wanted to repay the kindness of the big guys in the manor.

The first egg-changing business that Shitou negotiated in Chang'an City was a good start.

Then he started working directly in the manor.

Now, it is only the Keyuelou family, and the first batch has come out to see if his family can afford to eat it.

Next, Lao Zhao will arrange for people in the house to collect eggs from the farm.

Under the leadership of Li Fu, the people in the farm have food to eat and clothes to wear, but if they have money, they are not rich enough.

Therefore, as soon as Li Fu spread the news that he would collect eggs, every household brought their eggs here.

Lao Zhao set up a table in the front yard of the house.

"Eggs that have been stored for more than a month will not be collected. Fresh eggs must be collected." Lao Zhao said.

Langjun said that eggs that have been stored for too long will not be good for making eggs.

In the study, Li Fu was studying the map around the farm.

Obviously, it is definitely not enough to collect only the eggs from his own farm.

Therefore, when more people are available, he has to find people to collect eggs from the surrounding farms, and collect as many as he can.

There are still many families raising chickens these days. Selling eggs is also a source of income. Although it is not much, for ordinary people, if they save for a long time, it can also buy a new piece of clothing or a few pounds of meat.

Old Zhao came to the study.

"My dear, the work of collecting eggs outside is done. A total of 500 eggs have been collected. Because they are all fresh eggs within a month, the quantity is not that large." Lao Zhao said: "Let them take the old eggs they have saved back and dispose of them by themselves. We don't want them."

"Five hundred eggs, this is not enough." Li Fu said: "Lao Zhao, come and have a look. I plan to have people collect them from the surrounding farms as well. Collect as many as possible."

"Shitou has also told the shopkeeper of Keyuelou that the second batch of goods will not be small. We can't let others look down on us. We should try to get as many as possible."

"My dear, what if the quantity is too large and Keyue can't eat it?" Lao Zhao asked: "Sell it to other restaurants?"

"Even if Keyuelou has to grit its teeth, it has to eat it." Li Fu smiled: "And it is happy and willing to eat it. After all, if other restaurants get involved in this business, how can they use this thing to attract business?"

Lao Zhao thought and nodded.

"It's not impossible to buy fresh eggs from the nearby farms, but when our people go there, the eggs they sell to us may not be fresh. We can trust the farmers living in our own farms, but it's hard to trust others."

Old Zhao was a little worried. After all, this business has just started. If they use fresh eggs and fail, it will ruin their reputation.

And the stuff called mutated eggs is different from other things. You can't open them one by one to check whether they are mutated.

"This is easy." LiLi Fu said: "We who collect eggs must learn how to judge whether the eggs are fresh. Fresh eggs feel rougher in the hand, and the surface of the eggs seems to have a layer of white frost, and the color is bright. If there are black spots on the eggshell, it is an egg that has been stored for a long time.

In addition, eggs put into water with the pointed end facing down are fresh eggs..."

Li Fu briefly said some tips to distinguish whether eggs are fresh.

"After a long time of contact, you can basically tell at a glance." Li Fu smiled and said: "Aren't these collected now fresh? When the time comes, let someone take a closer look and learn well, so that you won't be fooled when you go out in the future."

This kind of life trick is basically not difficult to find if you pay attention.

"My husband even knows this, he is really knowledgeable." Lao Zhao praised happily.

My husband used to like reading, but it seemed that he was just studying hard, not like now, he looks smart.

"Okay, quickly arrange the staff. Let Liu Niang pick up the eggs collected today. It's just that the last batch of eggs has been sold, so the tools are free." Li Fu said, "Make a number mark on the jar, so that if they are not made on the same day, they can be distinguished."

"Yes, my lord." Lao Zhao responded.

He had to finish all the things that my lord had told him to do.

The materials needed in the house were also handled by Shitou. In fact, except for some spices, the others were not valuable. The most valuable thing was salt.

As for the precious spices that Shitou and the shopkeeper of Keyuelou mentioned.

If you don't brag like this, how can you sell things at a good price?

To do business, you have to be able to brag and dare to brag. If you don't even dare to brag, how can you expect you to dare to do things and make a lot of money?

In the kitchen yard, there were materials all over the floor. If you use the original tools to deal with them, it seems a bit stretched, but now you can only make do with it.

Fortunately, there is money in the warehouse now. I will discuss it with my husband tomorrow and do it again.
