Chapter 16: The Big Sell

The stall is good, and the salt water has been boiled, but the appearance of this salt makes people look a little uneasy, it looks good, it is good-looking, snow-white and snow-white, but this is not like salt.

Li Xiao ordered Liu San and others to pick up customers, and saw Chen Zhengtai sitting behind the counter, Chen Fuxing rushed to take a fan to fan him, and Chen Zhengtai was lying on his back, enjoying comfortably, like a son-in-law.

Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Now the big guy doesn't have much wages, and he sells a hundred yuan of goods to give a copper coin as a share, and this salt ...... It seems to be a necessity for the people, but there are many salt merchants in Chang'an City, and each family has its own stable source of customers.

When Liu San came back from the street, he brought a lot of passing guests, who heard that there was free salt water to eat, but they cheered and flocked to him.

You must know that salt is a necessity, so the price is expensive, ordinary people, a pound of salt can be eaten for half a year, all of which are saved.

Sometimes, table salt is comparable to gold. After all, the salt refined by the ancient method consumes manpower, consumes fuel, and the yield is very low, and the price has always been high because of the extremely high tax.

But...... The poorer had to be replaced with vinegar cloth or inferior salt.

This salt water is a good thing for many people, and they don't drink it for nothing.

A large pot was erected in front of the shop, and the water in the cauldron was boiling, and the men took a lot of pottery bowls, pinched some salt, and carefully sprinkled them into the pottery bowls, and then scooped up the boiling water, and this bowl of salt water was boiled.

Chen Zhengtai got up from behind the counter, and when he arrived at the door, he said with a red face: "Ladies and gentlemen, our Chen family has done some small business here over the years, thanks to the care of the elders and villagers, this can be maintained.

Some of the people nodded, and some whispered, "Who is this person?"

"I heard that it is the young master of the Chen family."

"Isn't that the ...... That Chen family ......"

"Who else."

Thereupon...... Everyone suddenly realized.

Chang'an City is relatively well-informed, and there are many good deeds, so I still have a little hearing of the 'Chen family'.

Looking at Chen Zhengtai's appearance again, I think it is a certain son of the Chen family.

How do you look like a fool, you think that if you drink salt water for nothing, others will buy your salt? It's a little careless.

"I heard that the son of the Chen family only knows how to read stupidly and is a nerd."

"Ah, what you said, the Chen family counts up to three generations, is there anyone who isn't a nerd?" Chen Zhengtai's ears are sharp, and these whispered discussions will inevitably get into his ears.

I can't imagine that my Chen family doesn't seem to have a good reputation.

So he pulled down his face: "I kindly invite you to eat salt water, what, I don't want to eat salt water, and I still want to hang salt water?" Love to eat, don't eat!"

When Chen Fu heard this, his spirit was shocked, and he also crossed his hands, looking like he was rolling up his sleeves and was about to beat someone.

The crowd was frightened.

To be honest, if Chen Zhengtai is still smiling, the big guy will inevitably have more tongues. But when I saw that this son of the Chen family was fierce and vicious, I couldn't help but feel cowardly, the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, Mengjin Chen, no matter how defeated, it was not something that ordinary people could provoke.

So half of the people went, but there were still many people who were still looking forward to drinking salt water for free.

Seeing them like this, Chen Zhengtai calmed down and became idle. Really...... He is too young to control the scene, and the Chen family has been criticized over the years, which makes people look down on him. It's better to be fierce yourself.

Seeing that everyone was looking at the bowls of salt water, they didn't dare to step forward.

Chen Zhengtai said, "Come on, come and eat."

Everyone: "......"

The scene was quiet and silent.

Chen Zhengtai gritted his teeth: "Whatever you do, come and eat, if you don't eat, break your legs!"

Call......

Everyone gasped.

Li Xiao felt that his heart was ...... Hit rock bottom.

Where is this to do business, is this to be the king of the mountain?

Son...... That's not how buying and selling works.

Finally, a bold person stepped forward: "Okay, drink it, Gongzi Xie gives water, I, Chen Jian, have traveled south and north, and I haven't seen anyone who is forced to drink water, so I'll taste it today."

With that, he stepped forward and took a bowl of salt water. Chen Jian pouted and blew into the hot water.

It didn't take long for him to take a gentle sip of salt water.

On the tip of his tongue, a slight salty taste suddenly stimulated his taste buds.

This is......

A completely strange feeling, no bitterness, just a little saltiness, and the saltiness is exceptionally refreshing.

Chen Jian was not afraid of being hot, as if he didn't believe it, and couldn't help but take a sip of salt water, and his mouth made a chirping sound. Immediately after that, the whole person stood in place, and then ...... The pottery bowl in his hand was not grasped steadily, and he clattered...... The pottery bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

Li Xiao was taken aback, what's wrong, this salt water is poisonous?

The other do-gooders took a step back, gasping and looking uneasy.

Li Xiaojian stepped forward, wanting to hold Chen Jian up, he couldn't help but think in his heart, if there was really a problem with this salt water, this would be a disaster, and he didn't know how much trouble it would cause.

But when he stepped forward, he suddenly heard Chen Jian let out a low roar: "Don't move!"

Li Xiao still had a stiff face.

"What's wrong with you?"

Chen Jian seemed to come back to his senses, smacked his lips, ignored Li Xiao, and looked at Chen Zhengtai: "Childe, what kind of salt is this?"

Chen Zhengtai put his hands behind his back and said, "The salt of the Chen family, what are you doing with so much?"

"But I don't know how much this salt costs?" Everyone looked at Chen Jian strangely, this person ...... What do you do with the good end of the question? Finally entered the most critical link.

Chen Zhengtai took a breath and looked like a weight: "Five hundred wen a catty."

500 wen a pound......... In ancient times, salt was very expensive, and the best green salt on the market was only 300 yuan.

The tone of the Chen family's son-in-law is really big, five hundred ...... It's better to grab 500 wen.

People were talking and whispering.

Li Xiao shook his head in his heart, it was too expensive, and the son didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were if he didn't know it.

This Chen Jian said: "It's only five hundred Wen?"

That's what you hear...... How strange is it.

Chen Zhengtai smiled: "As we all know, our Chen family has been a good family for generations, and they are willing to be kind and charitable, and they have never done this sky-high asking price, of course, it is five hundred Wen, can they still lie to you?"

Li Xiao: "......"

The rest of the people all looked at Chen Zhengtai with shocked faces, this son of the Chen family, isn't he a nerd? Five hundred wen, are you still willing to give?

When everyone was silently complaining in their hearts, they heard Chen Jian say in surprise: "Gongzi is really a good person."

Everyone fell silent again.

But I heard Chen Jian say energetically: "Okay, I'll take ten catties of the five hundred wen a catty."

Ten pounds......

Everyone looked at Chen Jian in disbelief.

This person...... Must be insane.

Chen Jian is not crazy, he is a merchant, he has seen the scene. The taste of this salt is really good, not only does it look good, but it also tastes like it, and it is many times stronger than the best green salt.

You must know that this ordinary salt inevitably has an astringent taste, but this salt ...... Mellow.

This kind of salt, although ordinary people may not be able to eat it, but if you buy ten catties and eight catties first, and sell it to those high-ranking officials or wealthy households, five hundred yuan...... It's a lot.

Just when everyone was dumbfounded, Chen Jian did not hesitate, and directly weighed ten catties of salt with lotus leaves, as if holding a treasure, and walked away, he had to set off quickly, go to Kanto to try the sales of this white salt, I don't know if the price has doubled, whether it can be sold, if this business is done well, it will have to come to Chen Ji to buy in the future.

Only then did everyone react. Many people were curious, and they flocked to taste the salt water, and some people ate it, and they couldn't help but make a sound in their mouths, and exclaimed, it was so delicious.

"It smells so good!"

Some business travelers in the past also made up their minds like Chen Jian.

It's only a moment's work, a whole car...... More than 600 catties of salt were swept away.

Liu San was extremely excited, his heart was about to jump to his throat, it was only a noon effort, and the salt sold from his hand was about 100 catties. One hundred catties is fifty pounds of business income, and didn't Chen Gongzi make a rule? The guys are paid according to their work, and if they sell goods for 1,000 yuan, they can get a reward of 10 yuan. That is to say, in the blink of an eye,

I earned 500 yuan.

Five hundred wen is enough to feed a family for a month.

Although the days are still a little harder, it is only one day of noon...... This salt is particularly popular, because many businessmen and merchants come over, all of them are five catties and ten catties to buy, Liu Sanxin is like a mirror, these people are in a hurry to buy these new goods, go to other places to peddle, after all...... Such a good white salt has never been seen before.

Got rich.

If you can do so much every day, wouldn't you be able to get fifteen yuan in a month? Fifteen times, this income is thirty times that of his former work in the Chen family.

The whole shop is already crazy.

"Childe, it's out of stock, it's out of stock, it's ...... I've got to get more salt in a hurry. ”
