Naturally, there are firecrackers sold in the city.

The most firecrackers are set off during the Chinese New Year, and ordinary people will set off a few firecrackers to pray for good weather and abundant harvests in the coming year.

In addition to the New Year, whoever has a red and white wedding will also set off firecrackers, in Yongzhou City, Han Han knows that a family sells firecrackers.

But - what does this firecracker have to do with the lesson of the melon seller?

Is it possible to buy firecrackers to scare them at night?

Han Han spoke out the doubts in his heart and was ridiculed by Jing Zhe.

But about what firecrackers are for, he still hasn't been told.

Next, Han Han honestly took Jing Zhe to the house selling firecrackers in the west of the city.

On weekdays, firecrackers are rarely sold, and those who need to buy firecrackers also know the place, so those who sell firecrackers do not need to open stores on the street.

Jing Zhe was taken to an alley by Han Han and began to knock on the door.

"Buy firecrackers?"

A middle-aged man with a goatee rubbed his sleepy eyes and pushed open the door, looked at the two and asked.

"Don't buy it."

“……”

The goatee was stunned for a moment, and his face was gloomy: "If you don't buy firecrackers, what are you knocking?" Sick? Go south to the second alley and there is Langzhong, so you don't want to go! ”

With that, Goatee impatiently reached out and closed the door.

"Don't, don't turn it off!"

Jing Zhe hurriedly resisted the door, thinking that he was worthy of making firecrackers, this temper is very explosive!

"What? You don't buy firecrackers? ”

The goatee glared at him and said dissatisfied.

"I don't buy firecrackers, I buy other things."

"I don't have anything but firecrackers!"

The goatee is going to close the door again.

"I buy saltpeter!"

"Nitrate... Stone? ”

The goatee stopped closing the door in his hand, looked at Jing Zhe with some vigilance, and asked out loud, "You also want to make firecrackers?" ”

“……”

Well, treat him as a peer.

"No, I don't."

"Liar, don't make firecrackers and buy saltpeter, what do you do? You're here to steal business, aren't you? Don't sell! Let's go! ”

Only among peers can there be the most red fruit hatred, this is true, after treating Jing Zhe as a peer, the goatee directly pushed people.

"That's a good thing! I'll give you an analysis, you can listen to it first, and then think about whether to sell or not! ”

The goatee didn't say anything, but he stopped pushing people in his hand, and Jing Zhe saw this and hurriedly spoke.

"I buy your saltpeter at a high price, even if I make firecrackers, it won't make money, right? Besides, the city is full of your old customers, wouldn't it be a loss-making deal for me to make firecrackers? ”

The goatee was silent, calculating.

"Now there is more than half a year to go to the New Year, and you can still go to pick again when the saltpeter is gone, so as not to delay you to make firecrackers for the New Year."

"Your saltpeter, how much I buy, you also save the time and energy to process and manufacture firecrackers, it is equivalent to turning hands, not pure earning?"

"How much can you buy?"

The goatee's eyes flickered, obviously moved by Jing Zhe's words.

He saved a lot of saltpeter, and when he finished making firecrackers and selling them, he had to wait until the Chinese New Year, which meant that these raw materials needed to be pressed in his hands for half a year.

If he could sell these saltpeters in advance, he would be able to earn a lot of more money for nothing!

Anyway, in the mines outside the city, there is saltpeter, and then you can go to miner!

"That's nature! Can you see how much saltpeter you have first? ”

Goatee opened the door, moved his body to the side, Jing Zhe and Han Han glanced at each other, and walked in.

The goatee led them to a firewood house, pushed the door open, and a whole room of white saltpeter appeared before them.

"Well, this is my saltpeter, can you buy them all?"

Jing Zhe nodded, and then asked, "If you can buy all of these, how much silver will you need?" ”

Goatee thought for a while, then asked tentatively, "Twenty taels of silver?" ”

In fact, if all these saltpeters are finally made into firecrackers, they can be sold for about twenty taels of silver, and this has to add other raw materials and labor, and he will ask for twenty taels when he opens his mouth, which is a bit of a lion's mouth.

But doing business has to be like this, he doesn't open his mouth widely, how can he bargain on the other side?

"Twenty taels of silver? Not much! I want them all! ”

“……”

Goatee and Hanhan were collectively at a loss.

Goatee regretted it a little, this posture is clearly a rich boy, seeing that he is wearing a brocade robe, he should have guessed it a long time ago, it is better to ask for a few more taels.

And Han Han was holding his pockets, thinking that if Jing Zhe asked him for money, he would resolutely refuse to give it! He's only one or two—no, there's only nine hundred wen left, so I can't give him a ho.

"If Childe can buy all this saltpeter, I will hire someone to send Childe back with a car!"

This kind of person is stupid and has a lot of money, goatee must provide the best service, if it can develop into a repeat customer, he will be shipped twice a year, is it not much faster than making firecrackers to make money?

Jing Zhe waved his hand and signaled that he didn't need to.

There are so many free laborers on the mountain, but he doesn't need others, and besides, he can't let outsiders know that they came down from the mountain.

There are many people in the city, and there is no way to take the mountain in the official mansion outside the city, but it is different in the city.

"Don't bother the shopkeeper, we can just ship it ourselves - is there any discount in this way?"

Goatee shook his head, "Twenty taels of silver is already very low, if Gongzi finds someone to transport it himself, and other raw materials for making firecrackers, I can give you some." ”

"Good!"

Jing Zhe gladly accepted.

"Childe is going to pull saltpeter away today?"

Jing Zhe looked up at the sky, it was almost noon, he went back to the mountain, and brought people to pull it down in the afternoon, but the problem now is that there is no money.

"Shopkeeper, can you take credit here?"

"On credit?"

Empty gloves white wolf?

These words instantly popped up in the goatee's head, his face turned dark, and he said in a deep voice: "If the son has no money, then leave quickly!" Don't waste time! ”

Jing Zhe smiled, "Just kidding, what's the shopkeeper's hurry?" When I call someone to pull saltpeter, the silver will naturally be indispensable to the shopkeeper! ”

Hearing this, the goatee's face softened a little, and Jing Zhe and Han Han were sent out of the door.

Coming out of the goatee's house, Jing Zhe had no intention of returning to the mountain, but was thinking about how to earn enough twenty taels of silver.

Han Han held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Young village master, what does this buying saltpeter have to do with teaching those who sell melons?" ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed, and you will understand when the time comes."

Jing Zhe said mysteriously.

"But we don't have twenty taels of silver, do we?"

"I'll have to think about it."

Jing Zhe wiped his sweat and continued.

"It's too hot, let's find an inn first, eat some food and then sleep, wake up full of vitality, maybe I will think of a way to make money!"

Hanhan: ......
