Chapter 312: White Sugar
The shopkeeper waved his hand, and the person who had already prepared it walked steadily towards each table with a plate before putting down the plate, and some people opened their eyes wide, isn't this snow-white particle just salt? Before everyone could ask, someone immediately took the silver spoon and scooped the salt-like items from the dish into their mouths.
Chen Qingyun couldn't help but chuckle when he looked at the snow-white item in front of him, looked at the seat next to him that should have been the Wang family, and then said in a low voice: "It's a pity, if Wang Luoyang comes, I don't know what kind of expression this face will be." I'm becoming more and more interested in the boss behind the scenes, Uncle Xiang, it seems that this time it's really as the shopkeeper said, it's worth the trip! After speaking, he picked up the silver spoon and scooped it into his mouth with elegant movements, and the snow-white thing suddenly spread sweetly in the tip of his tongue, making Chen Qingyun can't help but squint his eyes.
This thing is actually sugar, too? But shouldn't sugar be red? How can you make this sugar, which is as white as salt? Such thoughts filled the hearts of all the merchants in the audience.
After looking at the shocked faces of the people in the audience, Shopkeeper Fang coughed his throat and said: "Bosses, this is the second thing that needs the right to auction and sell, the name is white sugar, just like everyone thinks in their hearts, it is sugar." However, unlike brown sugar, the preparation method of this white sugar is more cumbersome, and the snow white is like the refined salt. As I said just now, the agency of this white sugar is total, and if there is a need in the future, you need to buy it from this general agent, and other places will not sell it. ”
Everyone was in an uproar, such a good thing. It's actually equivalent to a one-time buyout? If the right to sell the brown sugar in the state capitals just now is an empty glove white wolf, then this time the general agent right of the white sugar auction is completely like giving the hen that lays golden eggs to others. Is the boss behind this scene smart or stupid? This thought flashed through everyone's hearts, and for a while, the audience exploded like cold water dripping from a frying pan.
Lu Zilu saw the scene under the stage on the second floor, and couldn't help but look up at Lin Xiaoman, and then asked, "Why did you do this?" Isn't this the same as giving the money to someone else for nothing? ”
Lin Xiaoman looked at him in surprise, and then said, "How come?" You're thinking too much, aren't you? ”
Lu Zi frowned violently, and then his breath was slightly short. He said in a quick tone: "How come? How could it not? This is a general agent. Whatever price he wants to give, he has to buy from him whenever someone needs it. That's the case. It's completely equivalent to monopoly! ”
Lin Xiaoman shook his head. Said slyly: "Whether it is the state sales right of brown sugar or the general agency right of white sugar, there are years of term, and I have customized a set of processes, if they dare to make huge profits." Then they will be able to automatically revoke their privileges as a general agent. Moreover, even if I sell the sales rights of the general agent to someone else, doesn't he have to take the goods from me? And the contract will indicate what is the minimum amount of goods to be taken each month, so as to ensure my own interests. Moreover, even if the price of this sugar in the market is too expensive, it will not affect you, because your sugar is directly supplied by me. What do you have to worry about? After speaking, Lin Xiaoman looked at Lu Zi's stiff face in puzzlement, and then continued to turn back to look at the merchants in the hall and ignored him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the general agency of this white sugar is five years, and the starting price is 100,000 taels. After the shopkeeper finished speaking cleanly, the audience was like the first auction of brown sugar, and began to raise cards one after another frantically. Everyone is in business, and there are always business opportunities in it. No one will be that fool and give this opportunity to make money to others in vain, which is tantamount to weakening themselves and strengthening others.
By the time the price reached 280,000 taels, the audience was already silent. Chen Qingyun held the wooden sign with a relaxed smile on his face, he believed that no one could make more than him! At the beginning of the welcome house itself, the shopkeeper made the situation clear, and they had the right of first refusal. So basically, all the way down belongs to accompanying the prince to study. And only two of the four major families came, and one of them still did not participate and only accompanied, so who among these merchants could break the thick thighs of the Chen family. Therefore, this general agency is nine out of ten for the Chen family.
Shopkeeper Fang shouted three times in a row that no one offered a higher price than Chen Qingyun, so he sounded the gong and drum next to him, congratulating Young Master Chen for getting the general agent of this white sugar.
After everyone's heated discussion, they were red-eyed about the third thing. I don't know what kind of thing will come out this time, so everyone will be surprised. Shopkeeper Fang felt that there had never been a moment when he felt that he was more protruding than the fragrant beauty or fat meat.
I felt the hot handkerchief in my arms and wiped the sweat from my forehead. The shopkeeper announced loudly that everyone should take a break and wait for the auction.
Shopkeeper Fang fled backwards to avoid everyone's enthusiastic gaze, and then avoided the crowd and trotted towards the second floor. Some people want to get up and find a square shopkeeper to set up, but who is not thick in the surrounding circle? Each supervised each other, and for a while, everyone did not dare to act rashly. I can only sit where I am, but the chair is like a nail on it, which makes it difficult to sit still.
However, the shopkeeper did not leave these merchants alone, and those who served the dishes now brought fragrant dishes to the table one by one. After each dish is served, the person who serves it will carefully explain what kind of sugar the dishes are made of.
The merchants here are all old customers of Yingkeju, but they have never seen Yingkeju sell the dishes served this time. I can't help but be surprised, could it be that these dishes are specially developed because of those sugars?
If cooking and adding sugar to vegetables become a daily routine, then wouldn't this sugar be almost like salt, and every household needs it? While tasting the delicious dishes under the chopsticks, I didn't expect that the dishes with sugar would be so delicious, and the hearts of the merchants were burning like the sun.
Shopkeeper Fang wiped the sweat from his face before respectfully knocking on the door of the room where Lin Xiaoman was.
"Come in." The crisp sound is pleasant to the ear.
Lin Xiaoman watched the chubby shopkeeper move into the room, and suddenly felt that this private room suddenly became smaller. couldn't help laughing and said, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper Fang, sit down and eat together!" It turned out that Lin Xiaoman and Lu Zilu's table was already full of dishes. (To be continued......)
