"Bell~Bell~"

"Crackling~"

On a bustling street in Beijing, gongs and drums are beating at the door of a shop, and firecrackers are ringing in unison, and there is no doubt that this is the opening of the house.

"Ladies and gentlemen in the capital, walk by, pass by, don't miss it, our Ryukyu sugar shop has opened~"

At the door of the store, a person dressed as a shopkeeper smiled and said to the person who was attracted to it, and as his words fell, the shopkeeper at the door also pulled down the red festive curtain, and a gilded plaque was revealed.

The three big characters of Ryukyu Sugar, the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, obviously also invited a famous artist to write it, and this signboard plaque alone also cost a lot of silver.

"In order to celebrate the official opening of our Ryukyu Sugar Shop, all customers who consume in our store today will be 100% off 10~"

"The sugar in our Ryukyu sugar shop is the best sugar in the whole Ming Dynasty, and the price is also the cheapest, and the quality is definitely the top, please feel free to buy."

The shopkeeper's voice was very loud, and he said to the people around him with a smile.

"Ryukyu?"

"What kind of ball is the Ryukyus?"

The onlookers next to him asked suspiciously.

"Ryukyu is not a ball, it is a ground, located in the southeast region of our Ming Dynasty, across the sea from Fujian, and all the sugar in our store is made from sugar cane grown here in Ryukyu."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he replied with a smile.

"I know, I know, it's Ryukyu Island, I heard that it's still a wild land, how can you grow sugar cane?"

Some people know about Ryukyu, but in the original concept, this Ryukyu was a wild place, and no one has ever set foot in this place, and now there are people who grow sugar cane and boil sugar here.

"That was before, when we Liu Gongzi built Ryukyu City here in the Ryukyus, recruited immigrants to reclaim the land, and planted sugar cane to boil sugar."

"In other places, this brown sugar costs eight or nine hundred yuan a catty, and some even sell it for one or two silver a catty, we only need five hundred wen a pound here, and today is celebrating the opening, full of 100 minus ten, in fact, it is more than 400 yuan a catty, which is very cheap."

The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"True or fake, how can there be cheap sugar?"

Someone said in disbelief.

"I don't really believe that the sugar cane grown in this wild land can be eaten?"

Some people are also skeptical, in the eyes of the Ming people in this era, the Ming is the best, everything is the best of the Ming, as for the world outside the Ming, it is a wild land, and nothing is as good as the Ming.

"Of course you can eat it, not only can you eat it, but the quality is very good, you can go in and see if it's good, you can taste it first, give it a try, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, it's okay to have a good time."

The shopkeeper smiled and said as a matter of course, and after speaking, he also got out of the way.

"Let's go, go in and take a look, this 500 wen a pound of sugar is really cheap."

"Yes, let's go, let's go, let's take a look, I knew how cheap the sugar here is, I won't buy sugar just now."

When the people around heard this, they immediately began to flock in.

As everyone entered the Ryukyu Sugar Shop, they immediately saw mountains of brown sugar, as well as snow-white and snow-white sugar.

"Ryukyu brown sugar, the price is 500 wen a catty~"

"Ryukyu snow sugar, the price is two taels of silver a catty~"

Next to the sugar, there is also a brand, which clearly states the brand and price of the sugar.

"Come, come, everyone can taste our Ryukyu brown sugar, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, you can taste it."

There was a shopkeeper holding a plate of brown sugar that had been cut into very small pieces, and he shouted while motioning for everyone to taste the brown sugar of the Ryukyus.

"I'll have a piece ~ I'll have a piece ~"

When I heard that there was free sugar to taste, the scene was a bit chaotic.

Sugar is a luxury in this era, the price is extremely expensive, even if it is sold for 500 wen a catty now, this sugar is still very expensive, and it belongs to the rich to be able to afford it, as for ordinary people, it is estimated that only by gritting their teeth can they be ruthless to buy a pound or two to taste.

"Everyone take your time, take your time, don't rush, don't rush~"

The shopkeeper immediately panicked, but fortunately, the other shopkeepers also hurried over to help, so that everyone lined up and came one by one.

"Hmm~ This sugar is good, sweet but not greasy, it is definitely the best brown sugar~"

"It's really good, I thought this sugar was sold so cheaply, it must be bad, but I didn't expect this taste to be so pure, much better than Xu Ji's sugar."

People who tasted brown sugar couldn't help but nod their heads, and they knew if they tasted it.

The raw materials of sucrose in Ryukyu Castle are good, and the processing is very standardized, so the quality of the brown sugar produced is naturally not said.

"Little Er, give me ten catties~"

Soon, some people started to buy sugar, and the taste of such cheap sugar was really good, so there was no reason not to buy it.

"Give me a pound too~"

There are some people whose family background is not good, and after thinking about it, they grit their teeth and buy a pound to go back, such cheap sugar, if you don't buy some sugar, you always feel as if you are losing.

"Okay, wait a minute~"

One by one, the shopkeepers immediately began to get busy.

"Xiao Er, how can you sell this snow candy and how expensive is it?"

Soon, someone noticed Snow Candy and asked curiously.

"This snow sugar is the best sugar, crystal clear, snow-white in color, and more pure in taste, it is definitely the best sugar in our Daming, and this price is naturally expensive."

The shopkeeper also replied with a smile.

"Then can we taste this snow candy?"

When someone heard this, they laughed and said.

"This doesn't work, this doesn't work, it's too expensive~"

The shopkeeper suddenly shook his head and said.

Liu Jin's pricing is obviously not arbitrary, the price of brown sugar is cheap, mainly the volume, snow sugar is expensive, take the high-end route, take the high-end route, take the high-end route, as long as the quality is good enough, as for the price, it is not a problem at all.

For the really rich, there is no difference between 2 taels of silver and 2 pounds of silver.

The sales are very hot, the quality is good enough, the key is that this price is much cheaper than other sugar, so with the opening of the Ryukyu sugar store, soon, the old and young masters of the whole capital also immediately knew that there was a sugar shop in the capital, which was not only of good quality, but more importantly, the price was very cheap.

Of course, not only here in Beijing, but also in Tianjin, there is also a Ryukyu sugar store opened, and these two stores are advertised to show everyone Ryukyu candy.

Going retail is obviously not Liu Jin's plan.

The sugar production here in Ryukyu Castle is too large, and it is impossible to sell so much sugar if you rely on your own retail, so you will eventually have to sell this sugar to other merchants, and through these merchants, the sugar will be sold to every corner of the Ming Dynasty.

The birth of the Ryukyu Sugar Store also quickly attracted the attention of merchants specializing in sugar business throughout the Beijing-Tianjin area.

In the living room behind the Ryukyu Sugar Store in the capital, Li Yuanshan was smiling at this time and discussing business with a businessman from the Jiangnan region.

"Mr. Wu, what do you think of our sugar?"

Li Yuanshan asked Wu Lang in front of him with a smile.

"Very good~"

Wu Lang carefully tasted the taste of brown sugar and white sugar, and then carefully looked at the color of brown sugar and white sugar, granules, etc., he who has been in the sugar business all year round, immediately knew that the quality of these sugars was really not to say.

"Of course, the quality of the sugar produced in our Ryukyu City is absolutely the best."

Hearing Wu Lang's words, Liu Yuanshan said with satisfaction.

"Mr. Li, I want as much sugar as you have."

Wu Lang thought for a while and said, he is from the Jiangnan region, the Jiangnan region is very rich, and he likes sweets since ancient times, so the demand for sugar is very large, and he is the area that consumes the most sugar in the entire Ming Dynasty.

He clearly knows that the quality of this sugar is not to say, the price is very cheap, as long as he can get the goods, he will definitely make money, because the price is cheap, there are many people who can consume.

"Mr. Wu, our output is very large, I'm afraid you may not be able to eat it, and our sugar is also an agent system, so if you want to sell our sugar, please come to our supplier bidding meeting at the fifteenth year."

When Li Yuanshan heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said.

"Can't eat?"

When Wu Lang heard this, he immediately felt despised by others, and then he smiled and asked, "How big is your output?" If it's tens of thousands of catties, or even hundreds of thousands of catties, I can still eat it. ”

Sugar is expensive, mainly because the production is too small.

Wu Lang didn't know that he was from the Jiangnan region and was still very powerful, of course, if he made money from this sugar, he could also recruit people to borrow silver to turn around.

"Haha, the output of sugar in our Ryukyu City is more than 10 million catties, if Mr. Wu can eat it at one time, I can still have a lot of trouble left."

When Li Yuanshan heard this, he couldn't help laughing, these merchants who were engaged in sugar trading were all similar to Wu Lang, and when they saw that this sugar was cheap, they all wanted to cover it all in one bite.

However, after everyone heard that the output could reach 10 million catties, they were all dumbfounded, and their eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"Ten million pounds?"

Wu Lang was the same, and the whole person was dumbfounded.
