(Today's single update, the weekend bird is busy, you can wait until the evening to see the update.) Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info)

The next day, Yang Yun got up early to help Yang Yong and them, and pickled the plums into licorice plums, originally Yang Yong bought reed ginger yesterday, and should have used reed ginger to pickle plums, but it was too late last night to chop reed ginger, so I pickled licorice plums today.

Today, Yang Yun still helped Yang Yong and prepare fifty catties of licorice plums and fifty catties of apricots. After eating breakfast, Yang Yun followed Uncle Li and Yang Yong to the town together. After going to the town, Yang Yun and Uncle Li first went to the iron shop, and asked Master Tian to make two iron plates, and Yang Yun told Master Tian that the thinner the better, so that the heat penetration is faster. The shape of the iron plate, Yang Yun asked to be square, in fact, it is the same as the plate used at home, but there is an extra layer of edges around it, which is to precipitate the lard and prevent the oil from overflowing when roasting the pork jerky.

The two plates were finally sold at a price of 400 wen in Yang Yun's bargaining, and Master Tian asked Yang Yun to come back to pick up the plates in the afternoon, which Yang Yun fought for, and asked Master Tian to help him beat the plates first. Yang Yun had built things here a few times before, but he had made a lot of money for Master Tian, so he naturally had preferential treatment for Yang Yun's request.

After Yang Yun came out of the blacksmithing shop, she went to the pharmacy to buy the spices she wanted to use, star anise, cinnamon, pepper, fennel, and bay leaves, and Yang Yun spent another 300 wen to buy spices. This time, the amount of spices bought was relatively large, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy gave Yang Yun a little cheaper. And the shopkeeper of the pharmacy also repeatedly explained to Yang Yun that these medicines don't need to be mixed and matched to eat, and Yang Yun didn't argue with him, only said that he would pay attention, and the shopkeeper of this pharmacy was quite kind.

After Yang Yun finished buying spices, she went to the grocery store to buy some pepper, white sesame seeds, and sugar, and after these things were bought, she went to the wine store to buy rice wine, and after purchasing all the things, she went back to Yang Yong with Uncle Li where they set up their stall. I ran several places in the morning, and it was almost noon. Yang Yun went to the place where Yang Yong and the others set up their stall, and saw that there was still half a pot of pickled fruit in their pot, so she decided to wait for Yang Yong and them to finish selling the pickled fruits before going home together. Moreover, I haven't taken the two iron plates that Master Tian ordered at him, and I won't be able to get them until the afternoon.

At noon, a few people bought steamed buns in the town to satisfy their hunger, and at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the pickled fruits brought by Yang Yong and them were finally sold out.

"Are you selling pickled fruit?" When a few people were packing up their things, suddenly a young man walked up to Yang Yong's stall and asked Yang Yong about them.

"Yes, I'm sorry for this big brother, our pickled fruits are all sold out, if you like to eat this pickled fruit, please come and buy it again tomorrow morning, we will set up a stall here for the next few days." Yang Yong saw that someone wanted to buy pickled fruits, but unfortunately their pickled fruits were all sold, so he could only ask this guest to come and buy them again tomorrow.

"I'm not here to buy fruit, I'm looking for you to be in charge." This guest's request is also too strange.

"May I ask what is the matter with this little brother?" Uncle Li is an adult here, and the young man wants to find a family member, so naturally Uncle Li will come forward to deal with it.

"This eldest brother, this is the case, the pickled fruits sold by your family, my master likes to eat them, so my master wants to meet this eldest brother."

"May I ask who your master is?"

"My master's surname is Zhu." Wouldn't it be Master Zhu again, Yang Yun guessed that nine out of nine were Master Zhu when she heard this surname, this Master Zhu's eyes were really poisonous, every time there was something new in his house to sell in the market, this Master Zhu immediately took a fancy to it. Yang Yun is quite strange, she has sold things in the town so many times, and she has never met anyone from the Li family.

"But it's the owner of Pinmingju."

"Exactly, isn't this big brother who knows my master."

"Hmm. I have had a few encounters with Master Zhu. ”

"That's great, I don't know if this big brother is free now, can he go with me to meet my master." Uncle Li understood when he heard the young man say this, and Master Zhu fell in love with the pickled fruit business again. Uncle Li turned his head to look at Yang Yun and asked Yang Yun what he meant with his eyes. Yang Yun nodded directly to Uncle Li, saying that this business can be discussed.

"If you are free, this little brother, please wait a while, I will explain the matter to the children, and I will go with you to see Master Zhu."

"Feel free to do so, just come with me when you're done, I'll be waiting for you." The young man heard that Uncle Li knew Master Zhu, and he was even more polite than just now.

"Brother, you and Brother Dabao go to Master Tian and help me get the iron plate, and I have already paid for the iron plate. After a while, you can go home first, Uncle Li and I will go to Master Zhu's side to talk about this pickled fruit business, and we will go home by ourselves in a while. Yang Yun didn't need Uncle Li to explain, and arranged things directly.

"Sister, why don't we get the iron plate and wait for you here, and we will go home together in a while."

"Brother, you go back first, you can go to the mountains to pick plums when you go back early, if you can negotiate with Master Zhu, they will definitely want a lot of plums and apricots." And this business always has to be bargained, not so fast. You'd better go back and pick plums first. ”

It makes sense for Yang Yong to hear Yang Yun say this. Yang Yun and Uncle Li, Yang Yong and Dabao split into two ways, each doing their own thing. Yang Yong and Yang Yun have been to the iron shop a few times, so Master Tian should know Yang Yong, and Yang Yong will naturally have no problem getting the iron plate.

The young man took Yang Yun and Uncle Li to Pinmingju. After entering Pinming's residence, the young man took Yang Yun and them to a room, but in the room, he saw Master Zhu's eldest son, Master Zhu, not Master Zhu.

"I thought it was someone doing this pickled fruit business, but I didn't expect it to be you again." Zhu Gongzi and Uncle Li saluted each other, and talked about Yang Yunlai straight to the point.

"Hehe, it's such a coincidence, I didn't expect Zhu Gongzi's family to fall in love with my family's pickled fruit business again."

"Haha, this good thing is naturally seen by anyone with a vision." Yang Yun felt that Zhu Gongzi's words had the meaning of boasting and belittling the Li family. Yang Yun came up with so many novel businesses, all of which were preempted by the Zhu family, and the Li family, as the richest man in the town, had never won against the Zhu family once.

"Well, you and Master Zhu are both discerning people." Yang Yun naturally followed Young Master Zhu's words and praised their father and son.

"Since everyone is an acquaintance, let's get straight to the point, how much money the little girl is willing to sell to the Zhu family for the recipe for pickling fruit this time."

"As for this business, Fang Zi doesn't need money, and he will give it away for free, but the premise is that Young Master Zhu wants to buy plums and apricots from our village." Yang Yun had already thought about it on the way here, what is the secret of the so-called recipe, as long as you listen to the name of the licorice plum, you will know that it is licorice. Yang Yun didn't plan to fool the Zhu family with this.

Yang Yun thought that there are many plum and apricot trees in Zhoujia Village, and the yield of a fruit tree is particularly high, plus both plums and apricots have weight, and a fruit tree can produce at least a few hundred catties of plums.

"Haha, the little girl is still so refreshing, then how much does the plums and apricots in your village cost a catty."

"Eight pennies a pound."

"As far as I know, the pickled fruit of the little girl's family sells for four yuan a bowl in the bazaar, a bowl is about half a catty, and the pickled fruit is sold for eight yuan a catty, and the purchase of unpickled fruit also costs eight yuan a catty, the little girl is really good at this abacus."

"Young Master Zhu, our pickled fruits are indeed sold for eight cents a pound in the market, but will your Pinmingju also sell for eight cents a pound?"

"It's ......, but it won't."

"That's it, the fruit from our Zhoujia Village is sold to you Pinmingju, and you take it back and pretend to publicize it, if you don't sell it for thirty yuan a catty, I won't believe it."

"Haha, little girl, did anyone say you were smart."

"My family knows I'm smart."

"Haha...... interesting, interesting." Is it so funny? Yang Yun really couldn't understand why the young master of the Zhu family loved to laugh so much, and he always called himself a little girl, he was indeed malnourished and a little small, but this young master of the Zhu family looked like he was only in his early twenties, so he liked to pretend to be an adult, cut! Yang Yun deeply despised him in her heart.

"Fruit is a pound of money, is Young Master Zhu willing to buy it? We have to rush back to Zhoujia Village. ”

"I'm willing, little girl wants to have a trading method."

"Cash in stock, Young Master Zhu sends a carriage to Zhoujia Village every day to carry goods and trade at the entrance of the village, that is, how much money you buy a day, how much money you give?"

"Well, the money is in arrears, and everyone doesn't owe it. Okay, according to the little girl's method, I will send someone to Zhoujia Village early tomorrow morning to buy fruits. ”

"Young Master Zhu, you should come back the morning after tomorrow and buy fruits from Zhoujia Village. It's going to be dark when we go back to Zhoujia Village, and even if we tell the villagers to pick fruits, it's too late. ”

"It's because I didn't think about it well, so according to what the little girl said, I'll send someone to pull the goods the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay, then let's make a covenant." To do business, you have to sign a contract, even if it is an acquaintance, Yang Yun is not willing to make a verbal agreement with others, so it is better to make a contract to protect rights and interests.

"Haha, I understand this, write it to the little girl right away." This girl does everything in one place, and she can't suffer a loss, this girl is really getting more and more interesting. Young Master Zhu sighed with emotion in his heart.

After Young Master Zhu wrote the contract, Yang Yun took a closer look and felt that there was no problem, so he asked Uncle Li to sign the contract in duplicate, and Yang Yun and Young Master Zhu each took one copy. Yang Yun wrote the recipe for pickling fruit to Young Master Zhu again, of course, the method of pickling fruit with reed ginger, Yang Yun did not tell Young Master Zhu that he always had to leave something in his hand. Besides, Yang Yun only said to send prescriptions, but did not say to send two prescriptions.

When Yang Yun and Uncle Li were about to go back to Zhoujia Village, Young Master Zhu sent someone to drive a carriage to send Yang Yun and them back to Zhoujia Village, Yang Yun saw that the time was not early, if she and Uncle Li walked back to Zhoujia Village, it would be dark, Yang Yun did not have the absolute kindness of Young Master Zhu, anyway, both parties had to cooperate in business, and there was no such thing as owing favors.
