Chapter Forty-Nine: Trouble Comes to the Door
The last time I sold raw snails, it was a cost-free business, and if you want to sell dried bananas, you have to spend money to build an oven first, Yang Yun also understands that all the people in the village are very poor, before Yang Yun came to Zhoujia Village, most of the people in Zhoujia Village can't even eat, they can only drink brown rice porridge. Last time, the whole village also made some money by selling raw snails, but no one could make seven or eight taels of silver. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Therefore, in this business of selling bananas, I am afraid that no one in the village can compete with the Yang family, even if someone wants to compete, it will take many days to finish building the oven and setting the iron sheets, and the Yang family has already finished picking the bananas on the mountain. Yang Yun was overjoyed when she knew such a result. To paraphrase the favorite words of many friends in my previous life, 'It is still reasonable that silver is hard.' ’
That day, after Zhu Er confessed that he wanted to bake more goods, he came over and carried the second goods, and the secondary goods carried a total of 400 catties of dried bananas, a total of 16 taels of silver. Not long after Zhu Erzai took away the bananas this morning, another carriage came far away in the direction of Yang's house, Yang Yun looked at the carriage slowly approaching, felt that the carriage was a little familiar, and thought about it carefully, it was not Liu Shan of the richest man in the past, who had set up this carriage to carry bamboo mats to Yang's house. This Li family can't be specifically looking for the Yang family.
It wasn't until the Li family's carriage stopped in front of the Yang family's house that Yang Yun believed that the Li family had come to find the Yang family today, and there was no need to guess that it must have been the Li family who inquired about it, and it was the Yang family's dim sum shop selling dried bananas to Master Zhu. Looks like trouble is coming to the door.
"Yo, isn't this Miss Yang, are you waiting for Liu Shan at the door?"
"It turned out to be Uncle Liu, the little woman just sent a friend away at the door, but she didn't expect to meet Uncle Liu at the door. Uncle Liu, where are you going? ”
"Miss Yang, this carriage has stopped at your doorstep, where do you say you can go, of course you are looking for Miss Yang's house." The people who came to the door were all guests, it was not good to keep people out of the door like this, and it was not good to stand at the door and talk like this, Yang Yun directly invited Liu Shan into Yang's house.
"Since I'm here to find the little girl's house, then Uncle Liu will invite it at home." Liu Shan got off the horse, bolted the carriage to a tree in front of Yang's house, and went into Yang's house with Yang Yun.
"Grandpa, Uncle Li's house has a guest, you hurry up and come out to entertain." Uncle Li and Grandpa heard Yang Yun's cry, they all walked out, and when they saw that it was Liu Shan, their faces were not very good, and everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, and they all understood the purpose of Liu Shan's visit today. When the Yang family used to make bamboo mats, Uncle Li also came to help, so when Liu Shan came to carry the goods, Uncle Li also helped to install the bamboo mats, so he naturally recognized Liu Shan.
"It turned out to be the mountain master, I haven't seen you for a long time, hurry up and ask in the house." Grandpa spoke first and invited Liu Shan to sit in the house. Yang Yun took the opportunity to pull Uncle Li's sleeve and explained to him in a low voice.
"Uncle Li, what Liu Shan will say in a while, you and grandpa don't agree, if he says that he must buy dried bananas from home, tell him directly, we have signed an exclusive supply contract, and if you break the contract, you will lose a lot of money. I also told him that there are not many goods at home, and they have already booked them for others. ”
"Xiao Yun, don't worry, Uncle Li understands, our family's inventory is indeed not much, Uncle Li has seen it, and it is a little reluctant to get together enough for 200 catties of bananas." What Uncle Li said was sure to be the truth, and when Yang Yun thought of doing the business of roasting dried bananas, it was already a little late in time, and it was a long time after the Mid-Autumn Festival before he started roasting dried bananas. This will sell dried bananas for almost a month, and the weather is already very cold, and most of the banana trees will not grow bananas in such weather.
After Uncle Li and Yang Yun finished talking, they went to the house to talk to Liu Shan, and Yang Yun went to the kitchen to help Grandpa and them make tea. When he sent Zhu Er away just now, Yang Yun had already told him that there were not many dried bananas left, and the next time he came to pick up the goods would be the last time, and Zhu Er also promised to pick up the last batch of goods in three days. Dried bananas can be stored for a long time, and Yang Yun plans to leave about 30 catties each for the Yang family and the Li family, which can be given away during the New Year, or some for a few children to eat.
Yang Wan finished boiling the tea and sent it to his grandfather, just when he heard Liu Shan say that he wanted to buy dried bananas, and Uncle Li and his grandfather both rejected him, Yang Yun saw Liu Shan's increasingly gloomy face, and knew that he would not be good at taking a break this time.
Liu Shan suddenly slapped the table and stood up, and Yang Yun knew that he was angry.
"I ask you again, does the Yang family really not sell dried bananas?" Liu Shan's tone was particularly hot. Yang Yun hurriedly brought the tea, helped Liu Shan pour a cup of tea, and sent it to him.
"Uncle Liu, calm your anger, drink a cup of tea first, we have something to say. It's not that the little woman's family doesn't sell your dried bananas, it's really late, you also see that the weather is already very cold, the banana trees no longer grow bananas, and the little woman's dried bananas are really sold out, there are hundreds of catties left at home, and the final goods have been booked, even if you buy these hundred catties of dried bananas, you can't sell them in two days when you go back. ”
"You really don't have any bananas in your house?" When Liu Shan heard Yang Yun's explanation, his face was still angry, and he didn't believe what Yang Yun said.
"Yes, there are really no dried bananas, if you don't believe it, go to the kitchen with the little girl, or go to the utility room to have a look, the raw bananas that were cut back are piled up in the utility room, and there will be no raw bananas in it, and the banana trees on the mountain will not grow bananas in winter." Liu Shan suspiciously went to the kitchen and utility room with Yang Yun to have a look. There are indeed no raw bananas in the utility room, and the kitchen is just a hundred pounds of dried bananas in the corner.
"In this way, it's really Liu Shan's late." Liu Shan saw that the Yang family did not have any bananas dried up, and his face was much better, but he was still gloomy.
"If you think the dried bananas are delicious, when the bananas are produced next year, you will be able to buy them earlier, but there is really no goods this year, the two bags of dried bananas in the kitchen corner are the last goods, and the little woman still wants to leave some for the New Year at home to entertain guests."
Liu Shan listened to Yang Yun's words and thought for a while, just now the old man Yang said that the last hundred catties of dried bananas have been ordered, if they can't deliver on time, they will lose money if they breach the contract, and the Yang family will definitely not sell this hundred catties of dried bananas to him, and even if they buy back a hundred catties of bananas, it will not have any impact on the Zhu family's dim sum shop. It seems that I am going to run for nothing today, if only I could have found out earlier that it was the Yang family who was selling dried bananas, and this old man Zhu's secrecy skills have really been done.
Every time Zhu Er came to pick up the goods, he chose the time, either very early, or in the evening, when he returned to the town, it was just dark, and no one saw where he went to buy the goods. Except for the first time to send Yang Yun's grandson back to Zhoujia Village at noon, the other times to pick up the goods are to choose the time when there is less traffic to come to Yang's house. Moreover, the carriage of the Zhu family often goes to many places at the same time to purchase, so even if Zhu Er's carriage follows other carriages out of town, others will not notice which direction the carriage is going.
