Chapter 22 The Great Procurement
The two night patrol servants were startled by Mu Fan, who suddenly appeared, and were about to start greeting someone, but Mu Fan immediately took the initiative to step forward and said hello with his hands behind his back, "Don't panic, it's me." ”
The two family members held the lantern and looked at it, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said respectfully: "Oh, it turned out to be Mu Gongzi." Although the two were a little surprised when Mu Fan came, it was not easy to ask. After all, they are the apprentices of the master, so naturally they will not be notified when they come to the house.
"Well, what about my master?" Mu Fan asked, although it was getting late, since he was here, he would definitely meet Jiao Xiang as soon as possible.
The two family members glanced at each other, and one of the tall ones replied: "Mu Gongzi, the master went out yesterday." I heard that I went to the main city, and it may take a few days to come back. ”
"Went out?" Mu Fan frowned slightly, it was really a coincidence that he came, and he originally planned to let the master take him to purchase. After all, Mu Fan is a layman when it comes to flour and steamers, and he doesn't know where to sell them. But now it seems that I can only inquire slowly.
"Come on, go get busy. Mu Fan waved his hand and said, since the master is not there, it is a little inappropriate to visit the master at night. After the two family members left, Mu Fan came to his room with ease. I opened the door and lit the light, and the room was spotlessly clean. Obviously, after I left, someone has been carefully cleaning.
Lying down on the bed, Mu Fan summoned the system, took out the 300,000 taels of silver tickets in his backpack, and after looking at it curiously, he pressed it under the pillow. Although Mu Fan is already a ghost in theory, ghosts also need to rest. Besides, when he came, his body was extremely tired, and his soul was also very tired, so he closed his eyes and emptied his thoughts, and it didn't take long for Mu Fan to fall asleep.
The next day, the news of Mu Fan's return spread, and early in the morning, Xiaohe and Rose came to the door of Mu Fan's house to wait, startling Mu Fan, who opened the door and was about to go shopping.
"Childe is good. Seeing Mu Fan, Rose and Xiaohe bowed respectfully. Xiaohe, the girl, was full of joy when she looked at Mu Fan, but the rose next to her blushed and lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Mu Fan.
"Ahem. Mu Fan looked at the two beauties in front of him, and was in a good mood, but he was still a little embarrassed when he thought of watching Rose take a bath last night, and coughed slightly embarrassed twice, and said, "It's very early." ”
"Childe, when did you come, if it weren't for the night watchman, Xiaohe wouldn't know. Xiaohe said in a slightly complaining tone, she knew that Mu Fan was very easy-going with his subordinates, so she was not too restrained when talking.
"It only arrived last night. Mu Fan scratched his head and said, "I happened to meet your sister Rose and Jiading." ”
Hearing Mu Fan's words, the rose next to her blushed even more.
"Childe also met Sister Rose?" Xiaohe said with some surprise, "But I and Sister Rose have been together last night, and we only separated after she went back to her room to rest." ”
"I just happened to see Childe when I went back to my room. Rose hurriedly changed the subject, "Childe, Madame has prepared breakfast and is waiting for you in the living room of the main room." ”
Mu Fan also knew that he had just said something wrong, so he quickly nodded and agreed, "Oh, then let's go over quickly, don't let my master and wife wait." ”
Although Xiaohe felt that something was not quite right between Mu Fan and Rose, he couldn't ask any more questions, so he could only follow Mu Fan to the hall of the main room in the front yard.
Jiao Xiang's daughter-in-law, who is Mu Fan's mother's surname Wang, saw Mu Fan coming, and did not ask more about his sudden appearance last night, and directly took Mu Fan to the table and asked the chef to serve several plates of snacks.
"Xiaofan, have you taken care of the affairs at home?" asked Mrs. Wang kindly.
"Back to my wife, it's almost. Mu Fan replied respectfully.
"Then when you come back this time, can you stay for a few more days?" Mrs. Wang and Jiao Xiang's child committed a murder before their death, although they did not go to hell to suffer, but they also had no right to live in Xudu, and could only be reincarnated. Therefore, Jiao Xiang and Mrs. Wang have always treated their apprentices as their own children, and naturally wanted Mu Fan to live longer.
"Master, I'm here mainly to buy something, and I'm afraid I'll have to go back before tonight. "Mu Fan also wants to stay here for two more days, but every time he teleports over, the system only gives twenty-four hours. Moreover, there is still a three-day cooldown time for the teleportation map, according to the time difference of 1:4 between the human world and the Xudu, the next time Mu Fan wants to come over, it will be twelve days later at the earliest.
Xiao He and Rose, who were standing by the door, heard Mu Fan's words, and their expressions were a little lost.
"So anxious?" Hearing Mu Fan's words, Mrs. Wang paused, nodded and said with a smile: "The eldest husband should indeed go out more, it is the master's vision that is shallow." ”
"Master, I will come back to visit you and my master often, and there are many places where I still need to ask you for advice and learning. Mu Fan replied respectfully.
"That's natural, if you encounter difficulties, the first thing you think of is not the master and the master, but I will be angry. Mrs. Wang smiled.
The two chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. After breakfast, Mu Fan went out of the main room. I went to the back kitchen first and got some pastries and gave them to Xiaohe and Rose, which made the two maids very moved. After the two of them had eaten, Mu Fan said that he would come back in half a month, and then he left Jiaofu under the reluctant eyes of the two.
Mu Fan remembered that Jiao Xiang once said that the ingredients used in the steamed buns were Qingtian's fine flour, and the steamer was made of Nanshan green bamboo. With this specific name, it's not that hard to find.
Mu Fan walked to the original rice noodle shop, and the boss in a dark blue robe greeted him, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you lately?" The businessman's eyesight is good, he hasn't seen him for a few days, and he still recognizes Mu Fan at a glance.
"It's fine. Mu Fan glanced around and said, "This time, I came here mainly to buy some Qingtian noodles, I don't know if you have it here, boss." ”
"Kiyota Seimien?" the boss nodded and replied, "Yes, there are some of them, please come with me." ”
After speaking, the boss took Mu Fan to the innermost part of the store and stopped in front of a shelf. Mu Fan noticed that the noodle bags on the shelves were much smaller than the bags outside, but they were also much more delicate, and they were all high-quality goods.
The boss raised his hand and carefully removed the bag located in the middle of the shelf, untied the cyan hemp rope, opened the mouth of the bag, and said sideways: "Guest officer, you look at it, this is this year's Qingtian noodles, not old goods." ”
Although Mu Fan didn't know much about flour, he had also seen and used this Qingtian noodles in the taste building, stepped forward, pinched a little casually, rubbed it, and then put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it. The wheat flour has a slight aroma, and it is indeed the same as the Qingtian noodles used in the taste building.
"Boss, what is the price of your Qingtian noodles?" Mu Fan clapped his hands and asked.
"Eighty taels per catty. The boss smiled and replied, "I have the lowest price." ”
Mu Fan began to calculate in his heart that one catty of noodles in the world can make five steamed buns, and one catty in the six cities of Yudu is not ten taels, but sixteen taels. In other words, one pound of Qinghe flour here can make eight steamed buns. The price of one pound is eighty taels, so the cost price of each steamed bun is ten taels of flour alone.
"It seems that what the master said before is that the cost of each steamed bun is about fourteen taels, which is indeed the truth. Mu Fan secretly said in his heart, looked at the boss and asked, "I want a lot of money, and the price will be cheaper for me." ”
"Guest officer, you just want a hundred catties, and the price can't go down. The boss said, "I have pure Qingtian noodles, and there is no mixed noodles at all, and if the price drops again, I will not make any money." ”
"I want 2,000 catties, and this is only the first time I want the goods, if the price is fair, I will come often in the future, and the amount I want each time is only higher than this time. Mu Fan said bluntly: "Now you re-negotiate the price, if it is suitable, we will make a deal, if it is not suitable, I will go to another place to see." ”
"Two thousand catties?" The boss was slightly stunned, and hurriedly said, "Guest officer, you won't be joking with me, right?"
You must know that Qingtian noodles can be said to be the best noodles in Shangqingfang, and the price is also the most expensive. Except for the big rice and noodle shop that specializes in delivering goods to the taste building, few people come to his small shop to buy it on weekdays. It is not bad to be able to sell one or twenty catties a month, but two thousand catties is a big deal.
"Do you think I look like a joker?" Mu Fan took out a stack of silver tickets, tilted his head and smiled, "As long as the price is right, I can pay now." ”
Looking at the silver ticket in Mu Fan's hand, the boss believed it, thought about it and gritted his teeth and said: "Guest officer, I will give you ten taels cheaper per catty, this price is about the same price as the origin of Qingtian noodles, and I really can't sell it for less." ”
"Sixty taels per catty, I will only take the goods from you in the future. Mu Fan bargained.
"Guest officer, our Luyuan City is three days and three nights away from Qingtian, and I really can't sell it at the price you gave. The boss said seriously, "Why don't you go to another house and ask, if the price is lower than mine, I don't want a gold ingot, and I will give you 2,000 catties for free." ”
Listening to the boss's words, I think that seventy taels per catty is already the limit in this Luyuan City. Mu Fan had limited time, and he didn't bother to run anymore, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I see that you are also a real person, so I bought it from you." ”
"Okay, dare to ask where the guest mansion is, I'll ask the guy to send it to you. The boss said happily.
"Stock up first, I'll go buy some other things, and I'll tell you the address later." "These flour Mu Fan is to be put into the warehouse and brought back to the world, once put into the warehouse, two thousand catties of flour will disappear out of thin air, no matter who sees it, it will inevitably cause some trouble. Therefore, Mu Fan is ready to rent a courtyard room and use it as his warehouse in Shangqingfang.
After paying the deposit, Mu Fan rented a courtyard house in a secluded place in Luwan City, and then found a shop that sold kitchen utensils. The steamer made of cuizhu is not cheap, it costs three hundred taels each, but it is easier for Mu Fan to accept than the price of flour. After paying for five steamers, I asked the boss to help deliver them to the courtyard. Immediately afterwards, he returned to the rice noodle shop, escorted two large carriages loaded with Qingtian noodles, and came to the courtyard.
When everything was ready, it was already evening. The man who followed the unloading took the balance of the flour and left happily. After shutting the door, Mu Fan summoned the system, put all the flour and steamer into the warehouse, and then chose to return to the world.
