Chapter 485: Shangshu Sells Goods and Gets Rich (Third Update)
"Fried chestnuts, fried chestnuts in sugar, fried chestnuts in fragrant sugar."
While everyone was having breakfast, a group of teenagers ran to Dongshi, put a big iron pot on the shelf, and burned charcoal.
Chestnuts and stones are thrown in, and shovels are stir-fried.
When it is almost done, drizzle with sugar water, and soon the caramel flavor wafts out.
Song Xiaodong and the others finally learned how to fry chestnuts with sugar, and set up a stall for the first time today.
They needed to carry a lot of things, so they hired an ox cart in the county town and drove to Chang'an slowly before dawn.
Next to the cauldron were placed baskets made of grass and branches, and they consulted with someone to weave them.
Negotiate the price and wait until the sale is done before the money is given.
The small basket is used to hold chestnuts, and the raw edge paper cannot hold the fried chestnuts, and there is moisture.
In addition, there is a bamboo tube, which is not weighed, and the bamboo tube is loaded, and the money is calculated according to the bamboo tube.
The Tang Dynasty people have never eaten fried chestnuts with sugar, and before Li Yi carried out a lot of stir-frying, there were not many people in the Tang Dynasty who could fry them, and the most classic was fried rice.
Look at the fried, still 'oily', and smell the caramel.
"How do you sell it?" People passing by saw it, were hungry, and wanted to try it.
"Five dollars and a bamboo tube, look at this bamboo tube, it can hold a lot, I'll put it for you with a pointed one." Song Xiaodong picked up the bamboo tube next to him.
"Five cents? Looking at the bamboo tube...... Five dollars to buy raw chestnuts can buy you more than these three. "It's too expensive for people who ask for a price.
"You taste one, think it's delicious and then buy it, we have to cut it, fry it, put sugar, everything is money."
Song Xiaodong handed over a chestnut, he was not in a hurry.
Because proprietor Li said that triple the price is appropriate.
The person who asked the price took it, peeled off the skin, and took a small bite, revealing a satisfied look.
"Fill me with a tube, I don't have anything to put on it, or I need to put it on my clothes." He pulled out a five-dollar voucher.
"You can't put it on your clothes, we have prepared a small basket, buy a tube and give a small basket."
The young man next to him took a straw basket, the basket was relatively small, just enough to hold a bamboo tube of chestnuts.
The branches are large and can hold two, three, and five tubes.
The first one was sold, and the rest of the people who saw it were excited.
It didn't take long for a queue to form in front of the stall.
The pot is sold out, and other people who want to eat it can only wait, and it will take three quarters of an hour to do it.
"I'll give you the money first, and I'll come back to get it later." Some people don't want to wait, and the ones in front of the queue give money.
"Okay, you go get busy, I remember what you look like, you take a small basket and go."
The boy took the five-dollar voucher and handed the other party a basket.
In case you don't remember clearly, the basket is a proof.
Quite a few people began to give money, and the teenagers took it one by one.
"Aren't you afraid that someone will buy chestnuts, pour them out, and come back with a basket?"
There are idle and bored people standing there waiting, chatting by the way.
Song Xiaodong smiled: "We believe that there will be no such person, even if there is, the basket with chestnuts will rub the things on the chestnuts, you can see it." ”
The person who bought it before took a look at the inside of the basket, and sure enough, it rubbed against the water and black things on the outside of the chestnuts.
When he praised the teenagers for their cleverness, he asked: "How did you come up with the idea of stir-frying in a big pot?" It used to be boiled. ”
"Bishop Li Dong ours, we practiced for several days before we practiced." The young man next to Song Xiaodong said loudly.
"Oh~~" The onlookers made a neat movement.
"No wonder it's so delicious, it turned out to be taught by proprietor Li."
"It looks like you have to wait for a pot, you guys bring two pots here, there are so many people, take turns."
"Hurry up, when will it be okay? I'm going to try the chestnuts made by the method called by Dong Lee. ”
Everyone was relieved to talk about the topic of Li Dongzhu.
The teenagers went from pot to pot, didn't eat lunch, and originally planned to eat chestnuts.
Now that the chestnuts are selling so well, they will be gone after two more pots, and I am reluctant to eat them.
Buying something to eat, I still don't want to spend money, endure it, some people run to fill the well water of the pressure well with a bamboo tube, and fill it with water.
As they calculated, after two pots, it was gone.
There they used water to cool the stones, and when they were cold, they put them in a pot and carried them up.
Looking at each other and smirking, succeeded, made money.
It is easier to sell than picking chestnuts up the mountain and selling them directly, and the money you make is more than double that of selling them.
"When I go back today, I have to find more people to pick chestnuts, and then I will ask Brother Guan to borrow a cauldron, or according to what Li Dongzhu said, I will give double the money in a hundred days."
Song Xiaodong is full of expectations for the future and tells the other teenagers about his plans.
The boys nodded vigorously and grinned, and some laughed for a while, and began to wipe their eyes with the back of their blackened hands.
I don't know which one couldn't help it, but when I cried, everyone cried along.
"Let's go, stop crying, go back to dinner." Song Xiaodong wiped his eyes, beckoned people to pack things, and went to wash his hands.
I bought some rice that I was reluctant to eat on weekdays, went back to cook, and then went to Zuixianju to drink free soup and eat free pickles.
The next day they hired two wagons, and the ox carts were too slow to run mad than the horses unless they were driven hard.
This time, there were a lot of chestnuts, and the teenagers moved two large pots and brought rice.
The people who came out of the palace to buy found out, and directly wrapped a pot of freshly fried chestnuts and carried them back in large baskets.
It was supposed to be distributed to the harem to eat, but I didn't forget to send it to the government hall in a basket and hold five cylinders.
"The skin of the chestnuts is easy to peel, there is no water, and it tastes sweet." Zhang said peeled one and ate the evaluation.
Xiao Huangmen, who sent the things, replied with a smile: "Li Yi gave an idea to a group of teenagers in Lantian County whose lives are not very good. ”
"He's him again? Hehe! Lu Huaishen took a chestnut in his hand and said while peeling it with a smile.
"If you want to teach, you can teach them all, only teach some people, others are anxious, and chestnuts are not only available in Lantian County."
Yao Chong thought about it, and finally found an entry point that could criticize Li Yi.
Zhang said to peel another one: "After Long Xue went to the Li family Zhuangzi, he bought a lot of red and blue pencils from Li Yi and sold them everywhere. ”
He said that after Bi Gou sold out a hundred copies of the children's kaleidophy, the Craftsman Alliance went to learn.
They can make a thousand flower rulers, but they can't make red and blue pencils.
Bi Gou sent his family to wholesale from Li's Zhuangzi, and then returned to the city to go out in batches, all of which were refills.
Wrap the refill with paper, and wrap it to the pen.
Many children have new toys and stop running around, staying at home looking for a newspaper to draw.
Some of them finish painting with a kaleidoscope, and they can add a few strokes to paint something else.
"How did he think of making money?" Lu Huaishen is not very clear.
Zhang said that he knew: "He said that he couldn't make money with a single household book, how could he manage the accounts for the imperial court?" ”
"He should be charged a business tax, and he should make this money."
Yao Chong thought of the business tax, and it was good to start collecting it from Bi Gou.
"One day, the people in his family heard that they could make a fortune, but it was not a small amount of money." Zhang Shuo shook his head and threw half a chestnut in his mouth.
Now Lu Huaishen and Yao Chong were surprised, and they tossed upside down, a thousand dollars a day?
Sell it like this, and sell it for a year, which is higher than their salary.
There is no need for Bi Gou to do it himself, his family's subordinates will take it and sell it, and it's done.
Zhang Shuo swallowed the chestnut: "I'm going to ask Your Majesty, if Li Yi still has a lot of deals, and my family also needs money." ”
