Li Niang and Uncle Fu entered the city and went straight to Changsheng, although the shopkeeper Chen likes to be greedy for a little cheap, but the person is still good, and in a hurry, Li Niang is too lazy to find other agents, and is still inclined to cooperate with Changsheng.

Li Niang didn't want Uncle Fu to help her, jumped out of the car by herself, and when she looked up, she saw that the shopkeeper Chen and Li Liu'er were sending Zhang Wu out, and she stepped forward to salute with a smile.

"Hey, this is really a coincidence, Zhang Wuye has always been good?"

"Hey, who's this pretty lady? Why doesn't it look like Miss Mo at all, Lao Chen, you can't see you for a few days, has it changed too much? ”

"Not really, Mo ...... The young lady is really open, and the old man doesn't dare to admit it. ”

Shopkeeper Chen was a little surprised, why was this Zhang Wu so polite to Molly Niang, and now there was no time to speculate, it was right to follow Zhang Wu.

"Don't boast about it, I will be proud." Li Niang raised her hand to cover her eyes, amused Zhang Wu and Chen Shopkeeper, the two laughed for a while, and then asked Li Niang what she was doing in the city.

"Oh, that's the case, this year is not a continuous disaster, the villagers in our village planted a lot of radish and cabbage, but ten miles and eight towns are all planted the same, can not be sold, the village chief begged to my brother, my brother went to the book, found a few recipes for making pickles, this is not just the villagers' vegetables made into pickles, today let me send some dried radishes to the two masters to see, can be sold no."

Li Niang brought Zhang Wu with her, this is polite and a means of promotion, seeing that these two did not show a displeased look, she secretly passed.

"The radish has been eaten, I haven't heard of this dried radish, but the Mo family must not be wrong with the product, come, let's take a look." Zhang Wu said and walked to the carriage, Uncle Fu saluted first, and then opened the car door and took out a handful of dried radishes for Zhang Wu to see, and the shopkeeper Chen also came over.

Zhang Wu sniffed the smell of dried radish, looked at it for a while, and suddenly bit down on it to taste it, and then raised his eyebrows, "Hmm!" It's really good, fragrant and crispy and salty, and the porridge must be good! Come on, let's move a bag down and weigh it, and we're half done today's task! ”

Shopkeeper Chen hurriedly took his eyes to see Li Niang, Li Niang quickly gave him a look, and said with a smile: "Fifth master, you are still in such a hurry, we haven't talked about the price yet, can you accept it for a catty of 12 Wen?" ”

Since the government opened the granary to stabilize the price of grain, the price of a pound of cornmeal is six yuan, Li Niang according to the law of trade in later generations, the price of dried radish is twice as much as the staple food, and the moisture content of radish is about sixty percent, plus labor freight and agency fees, a pound of dried radish can earn at least eight yuan, which is really profitable.

Li Niang was very calm on the surface, and she was so anxious that she was dying, who knew that Zhang Wu agreed without frowning, Twelve Wen could buy what he wanted, he felt that it was too cheap, and waved his hand: "Checkout!" ”

Chen's shopkeeper shouted at Li Liu'er to take the big scale, and together with Uncle Fu, he carried a bag of dried radishes and weighed it, and one hundred catties was still spared, and immediately Zhang Wu's subordinates came to carry the bag away, and happily paid 1,200 yuan.

Li Niang smiled and thanked Zhang Wu for her patronage, "In another ten days, there is another kind of sauerkraut out of the tank in my house, the taste is particularly sour, if the fifth master is interested, then we will let Li San'er send some to the house, the big fish and meat are too greasy to eat during the New Year, and some sauerkraut is just used to eliminate food and relieve greasy, and dried radish and sauerkraut are used to stew fish or stewed meat, the taste is also great, and it can also be used to relieve hangover when made into hot and sour soup." ”

"Sauerkraut? Hey, why do I drool when I hear this name? Okay, let Li Liuer send it then. Zhang Wu responded happily, and Li Niang and Chen thanked the shopkeeper together.

Sending Zhang Wu away, Li Niang and the shopkeeper Chen went to the shop to talk about things, and finalized Chang Shengxing to become the general agent of Mo's pickles in the capital, the wholesale price given by Li Niang is eight yuan, and she also stipulates that the retail price must be 12 Wen, no more or less, as for how much money the Chen shopkeeper wholesaled out, she doesn't care.

Li Liu'er rushed out to find a Chinese, Li Niang signed a contract with the shopkeeper Chen, the Chinese person stamped it, Li Niang paid fifty Chinese fees, and the business was completed.

The remaining 300 catties of dried radishes were unloaded into the shop, Li Niang got 3,200 Wen, and the shopkeeper Chen wanted to invite him to dinner, Li Niang did not agree, before going out, his brother had an explanation, and he was not allowed to enter and leave social places at will, restaurants and restaurants belong to social places, so she still ate wontons and pancakes at the city gate.

When she returned to Xiaowan Village the next night, Li Niang said to Uncle Fu: "Pay attention to confidentiality, the price of the transaction cannot leak out of our mouths." ”

Uncle Fu immediately bowed his head and said: "Don't worry, the villain won't say a word, it's all rotten in the stomach, including the peach blossom and her mother." ”

With such an attitude, Li Niang expressed her joy and happily went to her brother to ask for praise.

Pickles have a market, Li Niang is full of energy, and after two days she personally went into the city to deliver the goods, mainly to understand the sales situation, but when it came to prosperity, Chen shopkeeper saw that she brought only 500 catties of dried radish, and she was anxious.

"What is enough for this? Don't you know the best sales before the year? Once the Chinese New Year's Eve has passed, it will not be sold in the first month. ”

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, you just want 10,000 catties, I can pull it over for you, I'm not a little worried, after all, this is the first time we have done this business."

10,000 catties is a bit exaggerated, and Chen shopkeeper doesn't dare to open his mouth so much, these days basically sell a hundred catties every day, and this morning there have been several big housekeepers to ask about this radish dry, these people like Zhang Wu like to buy in large quantities, people have a large population, slaves alone raise hundreds of people, this pickle and food and money, it is better to make it for slaves.

Sure that the sales are good, Shubai carried a jar of good wine and went to the village chief Li, he wanted to rent Li's five ox carts to deliver pickles to the capital, the rent of a trip is 100 wen per ox cart, this is less than selling radish and cabbage, but it is better than nothing, and the ox cart is idle at home It can't make money, right?

The village chief happily agreed, saying that the next day he would call his uncle and brother to the end of the village to pull pickles.

At night, the snowflakes began to flutter again, and the next day I got up to see that the snow thickness reached half a foot, and there were still small snowflakes in the sky.

On a snowy day, the radish is not dry well, Jiang Shi gave an idea, burn the kang to dry, there are still three empty rooms in this courtyard, there are big kang in the house, Li Niang immediately let people light the kang and try to dry a batch, the drying speed is faster than the sun, so don't worry about the progress.
