Chapter 90: Purchasing

After the fourth master finished eating the white porridge, he added another bowl for the first time. Eat slowly, but bite after bite. When he finished eating and put down the dishes and chopsticks, Lu Mingtao asked someone to clean up the table, "Fourth master, how do you feel?" "Asked with concern." Very good, the rice is fragrant, the taste is pure, and it is very comfortable in the stomach to eat. The fourth master gently stroked his stomach, "Mr. Lu, I'm tired." Lu Mingtao listened to his words, and his heart was relieved, and he finally had food that could make him eat comfortably. This is what I should do, and the fourth master doesn't have to be polite. ”

The fourth master waved his hand, "This is not Mr. Lu's business. After speaking, he stood up and walked slowly around the room, according to the amount of food he usually eats, but today he has eaten too much. I wonder if this rice may be purchased in large quantities? "According to Dr. Zhang, only two acres of land produce this rice, and it is expected that the yield of this rice should not be high, but fortunately, it can be planted about 100 acres next year, and it can be purchased at that time." As he spoke, he took out the list he copied from Doctor Zhang, "Fourth Master, look, this is the recipe for eating peanuts and chili peppers produced by Miss Lin Zhu." ”

"An orphan girl has a lot of skills, I don't know where I learned it? Have you ever asked her where she came from? The fourth master's eyes flashed. I asked Dr. Zhang, who said that she was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and that she had two people to take care of her before she was eight years old, and that she lived alone after the two left, but the two people who took care of her left and there was no more news. Lu Mingtao also guessed whether Lin Zhu had an extraordinary background, but not only Lin Zhu didn't know who Lu Dao's biological parents were, but even her biological parents didn't know her, and the only two insiders were dead, so Dr. Zhang didn't know Lu Dao's life experience when he checked it, and only thought that she was an orphan whose parents died. So Lu Mingtao also agreed with Dr. Zhang's statement.

"It seems that Mr. Zhang attaches great importance to this Lin Zhu. I have recognized my goddaughter, but I don't know what will happen to the few people who know the Tao of the Zhang family? The fourth master continued. There was no ridicule in the words, and several young masters and young ladies of the Zhang family had a good reputation in the capital. Several young masters are quite literary and personable; Several young ladies can also be called models of everyone's beauty. But he was not looked at by the fourth master, and except for Doctor Zhang, no one else in the Zhang family looked down on him. "The people of Zhangfu don't seem to know that there is such a Miss Sun in Ludao. Even the person sent by the man to deliver things was also Master Zhang's butler at the beginning. was also troubled by the dog's eyes and looked down on people. But fortunately, I met it, and I got 100 catties of special white rice! After Lu Mingtao finished speaking, he took out a few paper bags, "This is the seeds of the special watermelon, and a few ordinary vegetable seeds, I also took half of them, and was said to be insatiable by Mr. Zhang." Alas, it's just a little bit of vegetable seed. He shook his head and sighed as he spoke, how could this old doctor be so stingy.

"Then why did you force you to come? Don't look like a villain who is cheap and well-behaved, you can't get used to it. The fourth master looked at Lu Mingtao's contrived appearance with disdain, if some of his admirers saw this scoundrel look, would they be disappointed, I really wanted to see it. However, for the sake of Lu Mingtao's appearance on the surface, he can attract a lot of business for Muyue Commercial Bank, so let him go for the time being.

"I'm also thinking about you, Fourth Master, if these vegetables can also grow special. Your body should improve dramatically. Lu Mingtao said thoughtfully, "It seems that Linjia Village is imperative." ”

"It's good to know the way, but don't go. The goal is too big, let Lao Du go. ”

"Yes." Lu Mingtao nodded yes, remembered something and said again. "I also bought these recipes with Mr. Zhang. With his return gift, he also sent a return gift to the Lin Zhu girl. ”

"Can Boss Zhang be the master?" The fourth master was lying on the recliner again.

"I promise to buy all the output from her land at market price." Lu Mingtao poured himself a cup of tea. Drink slowly. "Let's talk about it if you can get the right of first refusal." The fourth master gently closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

When Lu Mingtao heard this, his previous feeling of being full of confidence was gone, and he suddenly thought that if the grain in the forest and bamboo fields was of this quality, let alone the market price, even if it was double, five times or even higher, someone would buy it, and even the food that could satisfy the appetite of the fourth master could be bought at the market price? Thinking of this, Lu Mingtao felt a cold sweat behind him, fortunately there was a reminder from the fourth master, otherwise he would miss the opportunity, and he almost lost his love for buying watermelons at a high price, which was too dangerous for the business bank.

He looked at the fourth master who was pretending to sleep, this is only eighteen years old, Mu Qiyue, the second son of the current emperor's prince Shuqing, since the day he followed, he thought that everything was indifferent, since the establishment of the firm, the whole general manager gave him power, and he didn't care about anything, but occasionally talked to him, but what he said made him not despised. He took a deep look at the fourth master and silently withdrew.

Wang Shudun and Wang Mu father and son were dazzled by the prosperity in the capital, but they still remembered their duty, "Third child, next year your grandfather said that he would send you to study, don't let down his old man's heart." Wang Shudun said earnestly. Don't worry, Dad, I won't. After Wang Mu saw the prosperity of the capital, he secretly made up his mind that one day he would stand on this land with dignity.

The two found a seed shop in Fang City, and they inquired about it, and this seed shop was very complete, and there were many novel seeds. So the two of them went straight to him.

Shiji is not the name of any restaurant, but a seed shop, with a peculiar name, but whether it is a grain seed, a vegetable seed or a seed of medicinal herbs, it is a seed that can be eaten after growing, so it is called Shiji.

As soon as the father and son of the Wang family ate and recorded, they found that the seeds were varied but well organized. A few guys did their jobs, and there weren't many people in the store. There are also some people from poor people who choose among them, but the guys are not impatient at all.

"What do you two want? The small shop has a variety of grains and vegetables. Let me introduce you to both. "A man in Tsing Yi came to the Wang family's father and son." Uh, can we take a look first? Wang Shudun said with some hesitation, would he look down on such a big store if he bought less? Yes, I'll introduce you to both of you and see what you need. The Wang family father and son were amazed by the approachability of the guy in this seed shop, and they didn't mean to look down on them at all.

Under the introduction of the Tsing Yi guys, the Wang family father and son found that there were more than a dozen kinds of rice alone, some of which they had never even seen, some of which were said to be fragrant rice, with slender rice grains, and rice called glutinous rice, which was similar to their own white rice, which was said to be sticky after cooking, and there were more black and purple rice, the two were very curious, thinking that Lin Zhu might be interested in this kind of rice, so they asked the guy the price of these rice, "Man, how do you sell this glutinous rice, fragrant rice and this black rice purple rice?" ”

"Glutinous rice and fragrant rice are one tael of silver and one catty of seeds, and black rice and purple rice are two taels of silver and one catty." The man's offer startled the two of them, and he said in his heart that it was really expensive. "Don't be too expensive, the price of rice after this growth is also very high, glutinous rice fragrant rice is 100 wen a catty, and this black rice purple rice is 200 wen a catty. As long as it is planted, more people will reap it. ”

The father and son of the Wang family discussed, and asked for two catties each, although Lin Zhu gave less money, but they had never planted these, and they were not sure that they should ask for a little less, eight catties of rice seeds cost twelve taels, and their hearts were a little trembling.

There are also wheat seeds, before coming here, Lin Zhu confessed to let the two of them bring back some wheat seeds, so the two bought five catties of wheat seeds. Let's look at the variety of vegetables.

The guy in Tsing Yi didn't expect the two of them to be so generous, and at first he didn't have much hope that they would buy it, after all, although the seeds in this store are good, they are very expensive, and some countrymen will only buy some ordinary grain seeds, but these two people are good to pick up and buy, and they spend money happily. So the guy worked hard to introduce the two.

Despite this, the guy carefully asked the Wang family father and son what was suitable for planting in the field, and would not introduce it indiscriminately in order to sell more things. So the two of them also bought some vegetables that were suitable for growing in Linjia Village, which they didn't have. After buying, the two went to check out with the guy, and suddenly someone came to talk to the guy, "Second son, where are the potatoes that came from behind?" ”

The man asked the two of them to wait, and he and another man arranged for them to put some earthy-yellow, child-sized chunks the size of a child's fist into a basket. Wang Mu asked the guy curiously, "What is this?" ”

"Ah, this one, it's new to our shopkeeper, and it said that it was taken back from the south, and it can be eaten, but we don't know how to eat it. The shopkeeper cooked a few, there was no taste, but it was also a fresh object, so we took it out and sold it, ten cents a catty. Why don't you buy it and try it back? The man said as he put the potatoes in the basket.

"Dad, do you think we want to buy it?" Wang Mu was a little moved, but Wang Shudun nodded and agreed. "Since you can eat it, buy some back, if the seeds are so big, you can't plant much if you buy a hundred or ten, so let's buy less first." So they bought potatoes again. A hundred potatoes were fifty or sixty pounds, and the man packed them in a sack. Put it in the car along with other things. The two of them finished buying and were ready to return to the inn.

Wang Mu and his father and son drove the carriage away, looking around. Passing by some storefronts, Wang Mu said to Wang Shudun, "Dad, it's hard to come to the capital, let's buy some things in the capital and go back, and buy some for grandpa and mother." Xiaozhu girl also said that let's not rush to the road, we can play here for a day or two. ”

"It's okay, you can't go home empty-handed." Wang Shudun took Wang Mu to buy some food and fabrics that he had never seen in Baihe Town, all of which were introduced by the guys. But they didn't buy the silk or satin, which was not at all in keeping with their status.
