"What about cooperation? Twenty-eight points, you come up with a secret recipe and I will run it, and in a year, I will be able to sell this MSG all over the entire Tang Dynasty, and then Ah Lu Gongzi will only have to count the money at home. After Shopkeeper Xue finished speaking, he laughed.

Fu Lu arched his hand: "I'm sorry Shopkeeper Xue, I only sell MSG." If Shopkeeper Xue has no intention of buying, please forgive me for being rude and say goodbye again. ”

Shopkeeper Xue sighed and said helplessly: "Ah Lu Gongzi, how can you cooperate?" You make an offer. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not used to working with people." Fu Lu saw that Shopkeeper Xue still wanted to do his ideological work again, waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper Xue doesn't need to say any more, it will be in vain to talk about it, and it will hurt each other's harmony." ”

Shopkeeper Xue tried his best, but he felt that he had punched the cotton, and he felt indescribably aggrieved and frustrated. He has been in business for decades, and he really has never met a person like Fu Lu, who is as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit.

Helpless, he had to say, "Okay, then buy your MSG." You see I buy a lot of money, isn't it cheaper? ”

Fu Lu shook his head again: "Ten taels of silver for a bottle, no two prices." Seriously, the cost of making this powder is very high, ten taels of silver is sold for it, but in fact, I make very little money. It's just that this MSG is not known yet, so I let everyone buy some and taste it first in line with the idea of small profits and quick turnover, and I will specify a price increase after a while. And there is another point, Shopkeeper Xue just wants to buy it today, and I don't have it in stock, so it will take a few days to make it. ”

Seeing that Fu Lu insisted that there was no more discussion, Shopkeeper Xue also knew that he was a tough temper. It is estimated that there is no room for negotiation about the green vegetables, so I have to sigh and say, "Okay then." Sell me this bottle of yours today. Then I ordered another thirty bottles. You bring it here when you're done, I've tasted it, and it's fine. Then pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

"Okay" Fu Lu stood up, took the bottle of MSG from his bosom, and put it on the table. Uncle Wu took out a piece of silver from his arms and handed it to Fu Lu.

Fu Lu took it and looked at it, and smiled at Shopkeeper Xue: "I'm sorry Shopkeeper Xue, can you exchange this silver for copper coins for me?" Otherwise, it is inconvenient to use the money at ordinary times. ”

Shopkeeper Xue waved his hand to Uncle Wu. Uncle Wu ran downstairs, and after a while, he came up with a large string of copper coins. Hand it to Fu Lu.

Ten taels of silver is 10,000 copper coins, and the weight is quite heavy. Fu Lu put it into the bamboo basket where the vegetables were delivered, and asked the shopkeeper Xue for a few green vegetable leaves to cover it on, and said goodbye to him.

Coming out of the Fulin Building, Fu Lu breathed a sigh of relief. The first big deal was negotiated. That's good.

But for Yung Yunhe. However, the flower viewing will be an opportunity not to be lost, and MSG is now completely a seller's market, that is, it was delayed for a month, and the shopkeeper Xue should buy it and he has to buy it.

So Rong Yunhe decided to go to the flower market today to have a look, if she wants to spend a lot of money to buy flowers and trees, she will rush back, and strive to make more than a dozen bottles of monosodium glutamate within two days, and then buy flowers and trees after making money.

Fu Lu breathed a sigh of relief. But Shopkeeper Zhao was restless. At this time, he saw Fu Lu coming out of Fu Lin Lou from a distance, and he hurriedly ran out. called "Alu", his face full of nervousness.

Fu Lu was in a hurry to go home, and he didn't have the heart to say more to the shopkeeper Zhao, so he opened his mouth without waiting for him to ask: "The matter of green vegetables, it was Lao Sun who told the people of Fu Linlou. But don't worry, I didn't sell them the food. After speaking, he said that there was an urgent matter at home, and hurriedly said goodbye and left.

It wasn't until he walked to the door of the house that Rong Yunhe remembered that he was full of things about flower viewing parties and monosodium glutamate, but he forgot about buying meat. She patted her head, saw that there was no one around, and secretly put the 10,000 copper coins into the space, and then carried the basket into the door.

Rong Yunhe went home to clean up, brought a silver ticket, and pulled Fu Lu to prepare to go to Pingzhou City.

The two drove the carriage for a long time, and asked for directions several times, and then arrived at the water chestnut pond. Rong Yunhe got out of the car and stood at the entrance of the water chestnut pond flower market, and saw many flowers and trees on the street, and many people picked and bargained among the flowers and trees.

The street is not long, only five or six hundred meters from the beginning to the end. The shops on both sides are full of colorful things, but other flowers and trees are placed in the middle of the two streets, and I wonder if it is a temporary trading market that appears in conjunction with the flower viewing party.

The form of flowers and trees is very similar to the flower and bird markets that Rong Yun has seen in modern times, but probably because everyone does not know the varieties of flowers and trees, the sellers have written the names of flowers on paper and pasted them on the branches or flower pots.

Rong Yunhe looked along the road, and found that there are many varieties of flowers and trees here, but most of them are common varieties such as rhododendron, yueji, pomegranate, osmanthus, camellia, chrysanthemum, etc., although there are many orchids, and even some still have flowers, but most of them are ordinary flower types of spring orchids and cold orchids.

Rong Yunhe subconsciously glanced at the silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver in the space and sighed. She can't afford this kind of ordinary orchid, and the price of precious flowers and trees is not even more ridiculously expensive? It seems that it is not easy to earn that 1,000 taels of silver at the flower viewing party this year.

In addition to the vendors on the ground in the middle of the road, Yung Yunhe found that there were three shops on this street that also sold flowers, and the flowers inside were obviously more precious than those outside.

Walking to the door of one of the largest stores, Rong Yunhe saw this person standing inside, and gathered around to admire something. At this time, she no longer had the idea of participating in the flower viewing party, she just wanted to take a look more and see if there was a business opportunity to make money by planting flowers in the space, so seeing that the store was so lively, it was estimated that there were some treasures, so she walked into the store and wanted to know what kind of flowers made everyone so amazing.

"It's beautiful."

"Well, it's very good, it's the first time I've seen such a good orchid."

Rong Yunhe listened to this discussion, and as soon as he approached, he was attracted by an orchid around them. The leaves of this orchid are dark green, half hanging on a two-foot-high porcelain pot, and the beauty of the leaves is like that of a girl, graceful and graceful; The petals are blooming brightly, the three petals outside the flower are tightly round, like plum blossom petals, the tight edge is like inlaid with white edge, the color is green, the double pocket is held, and the shape is like a silkworm moth.

In her previous life, someone else had given the old lady of the Xue family two or three precious orchids, and the old grandmother was obsessed with orchids from then on. Even Rong Yunhe has some knowledge of orchids. She knows that this orchid is the Song plum in the spring orchid, which is the traditional inscription of Chinese orchids and the representative variety of plum petals.

This flower was selected by Song Jinxuan of Shaoxing during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Named after the combination of Song Jinxuan's surname and the plum petals of the flower, the flower type is dignified and generous, and it is listed as the first of the four famous species of Chunlan.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is an orchid I bought from Hangzhou, and the leaves and flowers are impeccable, almost perfect. The asking price is three thousand taels, which is not an exaggeration. Buy it at home and enjoy it. You can also use it to participate in this year's flower viewing party, win the championship in one fell swoop, and earn back the prize silver of 1,000 taels of silver. It also fought for your face. This is very famous, and it is no problem to sell it for another 5,000 taels of silver as soon as it changes hands. This is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone, and this is a rare opportunity. A middle-aged man standing next to the flower was sparing no effort to sell the orchid to several men gathered around.

"The king's shopkeeper. You're asking too much for that, aren't you? The orchid that Mr. Zhang bought last year. Thou hast sold him only two thousand pieces of silver. ”

"Yes, yes, the flowers are good, but the price is too high." The other chimed in.

"Lin Gongzi, Master Li, this orchid is not the same as the one sold to Master Zhang, look at this leaf shape, this flower shape ......"

Don't say two thousand taels, three thousand taels, Rong Yunhe doesn't even have two hundred taels.

Even if there is so much money in the family, it should not be used to cause trouble at this time.

Listen to the guys haggling there. I also sighed in my heart, and then looked away from the orchid. This kind of Song Mei is still a lot in modern times. The price is not high, you can buy one for a few dozen yuan. The planting technology in ancient times is not as good as in modern times, and modern ordinary goods may be difficult to find when they are brought to ancient times.

Since he came here, Rong Yunhe naturally wouldn't go out so easily. She avoided the crowds and walked elsewhere to check out the flowers in the shop. Half of the store is filled with orchids, and it seems that orchids are the main flowers of this flower store.

"Huh." After glancing at the flower shop, Rong Yunhe suddenly exclaimed. When she saw someone looking back at her, she bit her lip and pretended to be nothing, avoiding the eyes of those people. It wasn't until everyone stopped paying attention to her that she raised her head again and carefully examined the few orchids in front of her.

She had just discovered a very strange phenomenon. She found that there was a faint mist floating on top of the two orchids. This mist was extremely familiar to her, and this was what the aura floating in the space looked like.

Why do these two orchids have fog? Rong Yunhe frowned and looked at them.

I saw that one of the pots was as small as a leek, and the leaves were dark green and dull, and some of the leaves were still twisted, looking malnourished. But it is this pot of orchids, the fog is the thickest, and the white mist wraps itself like a cover. The mist of the other plant is much lighter, but the quality is much better, although there are no flowers, but from the leaf quality, there is still a good orchid.

Because of "watching the flowers for a while, enjoying the leaves all year round". Rong Yunhe knew that Jianlan looked at the leaf shape, the second looked at the flower buds, and the third looked at the opening product. In the absence of flowers, the quality of an orchid can also be seen through the quality of the leaves. According to her experience, this orchid shrouded in a faint mist may not bloom worse than the Song Mei that everyone is watching.

Could it be that the misty orchid is a famous product? This thought flashed in Rong Yunhe's mind, and he couldn't get rid of it anymore. To confirm this suspicion, she walked back into the middle of the crowd and took a closer look at the Song Mei plant. This Song Mei is also considered a good orchid in this store, and if her guess is correct, then it should also have fog.

Rong Yunhe squeezed into the middle of the crowd, and looked intently at the Song Mei, only to see the Song Mei standing gracefully on the porcelain pot, and the white walls set off its green leaves and flowers more beautifully.

How can there be no fog? Rong Yunhe looked at it and frowned.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Probably everyone in the restaurant was given a bite, and after tasting it, they were all silent. Even the first person to sigh, and he was reluctant to speak again, but he was afraid that the taste of the extreme beauty would slip away from his mouth as soon as he spoke, as if he was in a dream, and when he opened his eyes, the beautiful scenery in front of him would disappear in an instant, making people regret it.

"It's so good, I've been walking down the road and I've been smelling it. Shopkeeper Li, what kind of good dishes are you cooking today, how can it be so fragrant? Hurry up and try it. A loud voice woke everyone up from a delicious intoxication.

Luzhu came to his senses, quickly covered the lotus leaf, and then covered the altar lid on it, put it in the wooden barrel, and said to Dongzi: "Hurry up and take it home." After speaking, he looked at the old man with his eyes inquiringly. The old man glanced at it and nodded slightly.

Dongzi also knew that this dish could no longer be placed here. Otherwise, the guests passing by will smell the smell and come to each person, and everyone will ask for a word, will you give it to eat? Everyone else has eaten it, but you don't give it to him, which not only looks small, but also offends people. But whoever has such a good thing is reluctant to share it with others until he has tasted it enough.

And he knew that this old man and the young man were here to sell recipes today. Now such a precious and delicious thing, eaten for nothing, not a penny can be paid, and the three of them have worked hard for ten days, but they only taste so many bites, which is not cost-effective!

So he didn't say a word, picked up the bucket and left.

"Hey......" someone watched him leave with a bucket and quickly shouted, "Do you sell this thing?" I'm out of ten taels...... No, no, twenty taels of silver, what do you think of it? The last sentence was asked to the old man.

"Just buying the ingredients in this is more than twenty taels of silver. Boss Lu really knows how to plan. Someone sneered, and then shouted, "I'll give twenty-two taels." ”

Another person asked, "How about buying a bowl for three taels of silver?" ”

Three-two? Lu Zhu quickly thought about it. The remaining Buddha jumping over the wall in this jar can hold at least ten bowls, which is only thirty taels. Moreover, it is also possible to raise the price. For example, three taels of silver are only sold for half a bowl. Because of its rarity, the spirit rhinoceros has been sold for two taels of silver.

This Buddha jumps over the wall, the ingredients are precious, and it takes a lot of effort, three taels of silver and half a bowl are not too much, right? She turned her head and looked at the old man. Although it is a bit hard to make this thing, it is worth it to earn thirty or forty taels after removing the cost. The most important thing is that it is best to solve the current financial difficulties and stop shouting and selling recipes.

In fact, she didn't know that the spirit rhinoceros died at the sight of the sun, and it couldn't be transported to other places at all. And because the amount is small and difficult to catch, you can't catch 100 a year, so it's so expensive to sell. (To be continued.) )
