057. Go sell sugar
"Oh, okay, I don't know why you have to do this!" Leaving the Wu Pavilion, Gu Jiayi broke away from Ji Xuanmo and looked at him angrily. Why do you want to do this to Zi Mulberry www.biquge.info? Don't you think it's too cruel?
"You're too young to understand." Ji Xuanmo avoided Gu Jiayi's inquiring eyes and muttered.
"Don't tell your mother when you go back." He added abruptly.
"Of course I won't say," Gu Jiayi looked up at the sky, the sky was clear, and there was not a trace of white clouds, but this person's mood couldn't be as bright as the sun, "Zisang, she should go back to the palace, right?" ”
Ji Xuanmo nodded, "I understand her, if I don't say that I have someone I like, she won't give up, in fact, it's okay, she originally belongs to the court, and it's just different from us, no matter how entangled she is, it will only hurt her." ”
Gu Jiayi couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to Ji Xuanmo, there was no sadness in his eyes, but there was an inexplicable element in his eyes, in fact, he also liked Zisang a little in his heart, but he didn't seem to notice half of it. Zisang thought that they were happy with each other, but Ji Xuanmo only thought that Zisang was single-minded, which may also be the huge disparity in the identities of the two, so that Ji Xuanmo didn't dare to face this relationship.
"When I met her, I didn't know she was a princess." Ji Xuanmo said.
Gu Jiayi listened attentively, but she didn't want Ji Xuanmo to stop talking, but instead led the horse over and asked her to go up first.
"And then?" Gu Jiayi looked at him with wide eyes.
"What, then?" Ji Xuanmo seemed to be talking to himself, and then rode his horse and whipped away.
Gu Jiayi couldn't help but sigh lightly, this kid is really strange. Are the feelings of a young boy so incomprehensible? It would be a pity that her soul is already in her twenties, and she is already old in this era.
The days back in Fuchu were peaceful. Mrs. Ji taught her embroidery every day, like a strict embroidery master. Gu Jiayi can also understand her mood, when she was in the Gu Mansion, He also taught her embroidery so strictly, who didn't know how to embroider in ancient times, when she married into her in-law's family, she didn't know these skills, but she was afraid that she would leave a laughing stock. Gu Jiayi can't figure out what will happen in the future, but she always wants to get married, whether it is to not lose the face of the Gu family, or the face of the Ji family, or her own face, she must learn embroidery well. Whatever, follow the customs.
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the appointment with the sugar workshop arrived.
"You're going out?" The wind scars came out of nowhere.
These days, he is not in the house, and he even runs away with the small roll, and he doesn't know what he is busy with.
"Yes, Xiaojuan told you, I'm going to sell sugar, do you want to come along?"
Feng Liji smiled and shook his head, "I really can't see that you have a lot of ghost ideas." ”
Gu Jiayi smiled and didn't say anything.
Feng Lichen went back to the room directly, she had to pick up the small roll, put it in a cloth bag, and change into simple coarse cloth clothes, before going to the stable to lead the horse.
Coincidentally, I met Ji Xuanmo again.
"Where have you been?" He looked at her.
"Go... Go shopping. "She'd better not tell him about selling sugar.
When she arrived at the sugar workshop, she hurriedly rushed to the market after completing the formalities such as inspecting the goods and paying the money. She knew that at this time, the procurement of ordinary restaurants would go to the market to buy things.
The stalls in the market are all rented to vendors on a fixed basis, so Gu Jiayi did not dare to grab the vacant stalls. However, the stall owner was already set up, and she chose a fairly conspicuous open space to sit down.
This is not the first time she has set up a stall, and her stall practice career has risen to a new level. But this time the things sold are not the same as the previous two times, walnuts are a rare thing, not popular in the market, and the early publicity is not good enough, so the first time to sell need to rely on skills, dried red dates are a common thing, but too popular in the market, oversupply, not from the price to reflect the advantage, it is difficult to attract customers, sugar is well-known but expensive, as long as the price is reasonable, slightly lower than the market, do not seek no market.
Therefore, when she put out the sign of "sugar two hundred wen a catty", it really attracted many people.
This price is lower than other sugar stalls, but sugar is not like salt and is not necessary. At first, there were a lot of people looting, but after a while, few people cared about it.
Gu Jiayi scratched her scalp, maybe it would be better to sell it directly to a restaurant. Although the restaurants now have a fixed supply of sugar, if she sells it at a lower price than the original, she may be able to seize the market opportunity, but in this case, she will offend other sugar merchants.
"Little sister, who told you to sell candy here?" A middle-aged uncle squinted at her contemptuously.
Hey? Trouble found so quickly?
"Your prices are lower than ours, so how can we do business? Didn't your parents teach you to follow the rules of the market? ”
He was followed by several angry men.
"I heard them say I don't believe it yet, what kind of world is this, such a young child knows how to lower prices?"
Gu Jiayi's scalp was numb for a while, and there were more and more people watching the excitement around, but they were all just looking, and no one stood up to speak for her.
"Then you also lower the price!"
"I'm really weird, you can sell it for two hundred pounds, do you want to cost it? Do you still want us to lower the price? You let us drink the northwest wind! ”
Cost? Her sugarcane is self-grown, and there are no transportation fees, no taxes, but it costs some money to take it to the sugar factory, which is considered the cost, think about it this way, she is indeed not as difficult as them, and it is because of this that she dares to lower the price. But she can't tell them the truth about the origin of her sugar cane!
"But I can sell it for the price of two hundred wen a catty, and you can sell it at a lower price than mine, I have no complaints."
"You stinky girl......" A sturdy woman raised her arm as she said, wanting to slap Gu Jiayi's face, but was stopped by her man.
"What, I fell in love with this girl, and I want to get it back to be small?" The woman looked back at her husband defiantly.
"Ah Yuan, what are you talking about!" The man looked mild-mannered and looked at his wife with disgust.
"Get out of the way!" Ah Yuan's arms were extremely thick, and he pushed her relatively weak husband aside.
Gu Jiayi felt that the woman would definitely not hit her, so she didn't think about avoiding it at first. Who knows, the woman picked up her arms again, Gu Jiayi's hair tips were stirred by her palm, she was ready to take this slap firmly, she must be this woman named Ah Yuan to look good!
Suddenly, the palm wind disappeared, and there was no expected pain on his face, Gu Jiayi opened his eyes and looked over, only to see that Ah Yuan's beating hand was firmly grasped by a person, Gu Jiayi looked over, but saw the familiar face.
It turned out to be thin, happy, and dusty!
He smiled at her, "I didn't expect you to be here, I've been looking for you for a long time." ”
Had he been looking for her?
