Chapter 274, Shipping Dealers

On the bustling streets of Beijing, Liu Jin took Zhao Erhu to stroll through the streets very casually.

It's rare to come back to the capital once, so naturally it's indispensable to take a stroll around the capital and take a look, of course, Liu Jin is not really idle and bored, he just comes out to wander around, he goes to see it with a purpose.

"Erhu, it's really lively enough, much more lively than Tianjin."

Looking at the bustling streets, the whole capital is more prosperous than before, not only there are millions of people living in the capital, but also hundreds of thousands of people living outside the capital in all directions, so during the day, the capital is very lively and congested.

The streets are full of pedestrians, restaurants, teahouses, shops... All kinds, dazzling, at the same time, all kinds of stalls and vendors are countless, buying all kinds of snacks, selling all kinds of gadgets, performing acrobatics, running rivers and lakes, all kinds of colors, all kinds of shouts and shouts are sandwiched with accents from all over the world.

"It's lively, but the roads and streets in the capital are too narrow."

Zhao Erhu thought about it and replied, now Zhao Erhu is no longer the soil bun who has just come out of Hetun.

"It's too narrow, and it must be changed in the future, otherwise it will definitely be blocked."

Looking at the bustling streets in front of you, there are so many pedestrians that it is difficult for a horse-drawn carriage to pass, and it is clear that this old city may face traffic congestion in the future.

"It seems that glass windows are very popular~"

While Liu Jin was strolling around the streets, he was also paying close attention to the changes in the restaurants, teahouses and other buildings on both sides of the street.

In the past, all the windows were paper windows, but now the restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street have been replaced with glass windows, and the glass windows reflect the light under the sunlight.

Through the glass windows, you can also see that there are a large number of glass lamps and lanterns in these restaurants and teahouses, and glass mirrors are installed at the doors of some restaurants and teahouses, and some slogans such as "taking history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, using copper as a mirror, you can be dressed", "untidy, no hospitality" and so on.

Similar to later generations, these industries are the most trendy industries, all keep up with the trend of the times, and now all kinds of glass products have become the standard configuration of the upper class society in Beijing, naturally these restaurants, teahouses have to keep up with everything, especially some high-grade restaurants, that is even more so.

"The glass windows are much easier to use than the previous ones, with plenty of light and not afraid of wind and rain, so they will definitely be welcome."

Zhao Erhu thought about it and nodded and said.

"It's good to be popular, and the more popular the better."

Liu Jin naturally smiled from ear to ear, the sale of this glass is still an exclusive transaction, and the business here in Gujin Building is still very hot.

The ancient and modern buildings have driven the atmosphere of the entire capital, and the whole capital will drive the atmosphere of the entire Ming Dynasty, the market on this side of the capital is full, and the entire vast Ming market.

Now the biggest business of Gujin Building is not the capital, but a steady stream of merchants from all parts of the Ming Dynasty, these merchants sell all kinds of glass products to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, so that glass products have become the standard configuration of the Ming high society.

Naturally, the business of Gujinlou is very hot, and Liu Jin and Zhu Houzhao are full.

"Brother Jin, this cement is also slowly becoming popular, you see that this building is also built according to our building in Tianjin."

Zhao Erhu pointed to a small building built of cement and green bricks next to the street and said, this small building has now completed the construction of the main body, although it is only three stories high, but it has become the focus of the street, almost everyone passing by here has to stop and take a good look.

The houses in the capital are basically houses made of wood, of course, don't think that houses made of wood are bad, in fact, in this era, only rich people can build such houses.

Ordinary poor people can only build mud houses, not wooden houses at all.

Houses made of wood, he has many advantages, but it is difficult to build very high, generally one floor, a few can build two or three floors, but not too high.

Now use cement and green bricks to build a house, it is easy to build very high, that is, there are restrictions on the capital side, and it is not allowed to exceed a certain height, so although the capital is prosperous, in fact, all the buildings are not high, most of them are still one-story houses, only the restaurants and teahouses along the street will have two or three floors, but they are relatively few.

Of course, the height of the building is not the reason for the attraction of this building, but the main thing is that the structure of this building is completely different from this era, square, and the outside is covered with a layer of white lime, which is the most eye-catching existence in the surroundings.

And the façade of this building is also built very wide, very atmospheric; The floors are paved with cement and the latest tiles, and there are glass windows, glass lamps and so on to decorate them.

"Mochizuki Tower?"

Liu Jin looked at the latest glass-supported signboard outside the building, this kind of glass signboard is also a new product pushed out by the ancient and modern buildings, as long as a few candles are lit inside at night, it will immediately have the effect of advertising signboards in later generations.

"I remember that Mochizuki Tower doesn't seem to be in this place, right?"

Liu Jin turned his head and looked around, the Moon Tower was a place where he was famous, how could he forget that this was obviously not the place where the Moon Tower was located, and there was a new Moon Tower here.

"This is a branch of Mochizuki Tower, and it is said that it is specially used for seafood."

Someone next to him heard Liu Jin's words, knew the details, and also replied.

"Branch?"

"Specializing in seafood?"

After listening to this, Liu Jin was also slightly stunned, this feeling is similar to the hotels, restaurants, etc. in later generations, and there are even branches, and they also specialize in seafood.

I have to say that after traveling to this era, Liu Jin has finally formed some changes to this era, and the butterfly effect seems to be getting bigger and bigger.

Beijing and Tianjin have spacious cement roads, and allow fishing at sea, and all kinds of seafood from sea fish are also continuously transported to the capital, so that there is a special seafood restaurant here in the capital.

It is difficult for anyone to predict what will happen in the future and what huge changes will occur.

For this change, no one can say for sure, but at least for now, this change is still more beneficial than disadvantageous for Daming, which makes Liu Jin feel a lot more relieved.

mentioned seafood, Liu Jin then remembered that there was already a special seafood store in the capital, and with Zhao Erhu, Liu Jin also walked towards the seafood store.

The seafood store is also located in Chongnanfang, Langdong, only a few hundred meters away from the seafood store, Liu Jin can already smell a faint smell of sea, the closer he gets, the stronger this smell of sea.

"There are so many people~"

Coming to the seafood store, Liu Jin looked around, the whole street where the sea goods store is located is very lively, a large number of people here to select seafood from Tianjin, all kinds of bargaining voices are endless, and at the same time, all kinds of fishy smell and fish smell are also coming, so that Liu Jin can't help frowning slightly.

"Childe, do you want to buy seafood?"

"I've got new tuna, grouper, and whales here, all of which just arrived this morning, and they're very fresh."

Liu Jin walked very casually, and as soon as he walked into the seafood store, the boss immediately greeted Liu Jin with a smile on his face.

Tuna and grouper are the most expensive of the seafood, and the price of whales is not expensive, but because of its fame, after all, it is the Kunpeng in the sea, and it is also very popular in the capital.

"Yes~"

When Liu Jin heard this, he also smiled, and then looked at his stall with interest, the variety of seafood is still very complete, there are some here in Tianjin, and they are all here.

Baskets of large yellow croaker, small yellow croaker, large amount, full size, all kinds of sea conch, crabs, large pieces, large pieces, bright red whale meat, a tuna that has been cut in half, and grouper in the water, and all kinds of dried fish hanging and so on.

"Boss, you have a lot of goods."

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"Of course, I dare to say that there is no one in the entire seafood industry who has more seafood than me Qin Quan."

"This is whale meat, a whole piece of whale meat, directly transported from Tianjin, bright red, bright red, very fresh, this whale, but the Kunpeng in the sea, eat this whale meat, not only can nourish yin and yang, but also can make people lucky, Pengcheng thousands of miles."

The boss Qin Quan was very able to speak with one mouth, pointed to a large piece of whale meat, and insisted on saying that the whale meat was a flower.

"And this tuna and grouper, which were also transported from Tianjin in the morning, you look at the gills of this fish, it is still bright red, bright red, this was caught last night, it is very fresh."

"This tuna and grouper are the finest marine fish, the meat is extremely delicious, and the bones are very few, especially this tuna, which is very suitable for slicing and dipping sauce."

"I also have acquaintances here in Tianjin, so I can get these precious seafood, you must know that these seafood, all of them are given by restaurants and dignitaries in the capital, and it is difficult to have goods."

"Childe, do you want to buy some?"

Qin Quan talked a lot about it, but it was all about expensive seafood to sell, but he saw that Liu Jin was a rich man.

"How do you sell all these fish?"

Liu Jin also smiled and asked after hearing this.

"The fish I have here is the cheapest in the capital, this tuna is only 350 wen a catty, grouper is 200 wen a catty, and as for this whale meat, it is cheap, only 10 wen a catty."

Qin Quan's eyes rolled slightly, and he quoted the price with a smile.

"Your price is not cheap at all, as far as I know, this tuna is only 120 yuan a pound in Tianjin, as for this grouper, it is only 70 yuan a pound, and whale meat is only 4 yuan a pound."

As soon as Liu Jin heard the other party's offer, he immediately knew in his heart, these various kinds of sea fish were transported to the capital, and the price was basically doubled, and the precious seafood was even more doubled.

"I didn't expect Childe to be an insider~"

"But that price is also the price of Tianjin, this is the capital, there are more than 100 miles to transport it, and it is necessary to use a four-wheeled carriage, constantly transported over, in order to ensure freshness, you also know, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, the sun is shining, this goods will not work, the price can not be compared with Tianjin."

When Qin Quan heard this, he immediately smiled awkwardly and said.

"No, I don't buy and sell marine fish, but I also know the price of these seafood very well, and your marine fish are very fresh."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the big yellow croaker and the small yellow croaker and asked, "How do you sell these big yellow croakers and small yellow croaker?" ”

"Childe, these are all bargains, as long as five cents a catty, there are discounts for large amounts."

Qin Quan said with a smile.

"Your seafood is cheaper, I want it all."

Liu Jin looked at the other party, it was rare that the other party had to say a lot to himself, how could he still let the other party do some business, anyway, he bought these sea fish and sent them to Xishan, or sent them to the glass factory for his subordinates, and it could be regarded as an extra family meal for his employees as a capitalist, and it didn't cost much silver.

"You want them all?"

When Qin Quan heard this, he was slightly stunned, and asked in disbelief, and then he suddenly became excited, this feeling has met a big customer.

"Childe, you are also an insider, I can't hide anything from you, if you want all these goods, eighty percent of the price, how much will I earn some errand fees, what do you think?"

"Eighty percent, Boss Qin, this errand fee is too expensive."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

"That's it, seventy out of five, you also know, this shipping is really not cheap, no matter how low it is, I won't have any money to make, so let me eat porridge."

When Qin Quan heard this, he said very anxiously.

Now that the weather is hot and there is no ice in this era, if the fish are not sold in time, they will definitely stink, and the stinky fish will lose money.

Now he has met Quanyao's big customer, although the price is much lower, but because of Quanyao, he still has a lot of profits in it.

"Seventy percent, if it doesn't work, I'll ask the others."

Liu Jin thought for a while and said, Liu Jin naturally didn't care about this bit of silver, mainly enjoying the feeling of bargaining.

"Okay, seven achievements are seventy~"

Qin Quan thought about it, gritted his teeth, agreed to Liu Jin's price, and then shook his head slightly and said: "This price is really not making any money, the son must take care of Lao Qin and me if he has a business in the future." ”

"Haha, no problem, no problem, this is a deposit, please send it to the glass factory on this side of Xishan outside the city."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded, then took the two big ingots from Zhao Erhu and put them in Qin Quan's hands.

Qin Quan got the two big ingots, and immediately a smile appeared on his face, holding the silver ingots and carefully weighing, weighing, and then shaking them with his teeth, his eyes lit up slightly, and the official silver was full of color.

"Good, good, no problem, no problem~"

The silver given by the other party is very sufficient, and it is not a matter at all to send it to the glass factory, he has a partner under his hands, and there are already special carriages and horses here in the capital to transport seafood, not only to pull goods back from Tianjin, but also to deliver goods near the capital.
