Chapter 9 Jingzhou Wenhui
Fifty dollars a piece? Zhang Jin was suddenly moved.
According to the price of Zhou's shopkeeper, 500 honey candles can be sold for 25,000 yuan, and if you use this money to buy rice, according to the price of rice in Xiangyang, you can buy nearly 1,000 stones!
However, in the Han Dynasty, one stone was only more than forty catties, but even so, it was enough for the whole village to eat for three or four months, and it was not impossible to hold on to the wheat harvest next year with a strangled stomach and mixed with wild vegetables!
"Hehe..."Zhang Miao laughed softly.
"What? Is the guest officer not satisfied with the price? I can tell you the truth, in the whole market you can ask casually, if someone can afford a higher price than me, you can pick out the eyes of the shopkeeper! ”
Shopkeeper Zhou sneered.
"That, the shopkeeper, can it go up a little more, and hundreds of people in the whole village will rely on this honey candle for food to save their lives!" Zhang Jin hurriedly said.
Shopkeeper Zhou shook his head slowly: "The price has been given the best." ”
Now that the shopkeeper Zhou has been determined, the three people in front of him are hillbillies with little knowledge, I don't know what shit luck I got to get a honey candle, it's good not to desperately lower the price, how can I be willing to pay a higher price?
When Zhang Jin wanted to say more, he was stopped by Zhang Miao reaching out.
"In that case, forget it. This candle is a rare item, and it definitely goes beyond this price. Zhang Miao smiled, pulled Zhang Jin and Zhang Ping and walked out.
"The guest officer walks slowly, if he changes his mind, just come back." Shopkeeper Zhou didn't keep it, and said in a harmonious voice.
"Ah Miao, how do you ......" Zhang Jin was a little anxious and wanted to reprimand Zhang Miao.
"Let's talk about it later!" Zhang Miao interrupted him and pulled the two out of the market.
On the way back to the post house, Zhang Miao looked back from time to time, and saw that no one was following him and there was no abnormality, so he was relieved.
"Ah Miao, why are you in a hurry to come back, the price can be negotiated again, maybe it can go up a little." Back in the inn room, Zhang Jin immediately said dissatisfied.
Zhang Miao shook her head slightly: "If it goes up, how much can it go up?" Three dollars, or five dollars? I have to exchange these candles for a year's worth of food for the whole village, and then I have to use the remaining money to buy other items, and each one can be sold for at least 200 yuan! ”
"Two hundred? You are crazy! Zhang Jin said in shock.
The price of a stone of yellow rice is only more than 200 yuan, and a mere honey candle wants to exchange for a stone of grain, how crazy it is!
Zhang Miao said as a matter of course: "There is a lot of food in this Xiangyang City." And the honey candle, I'm afraid that we are the only ones in the whole Xiangyang. In other words, this honey candle is a seller's market, and the price is completely determined by us, so what's impossible? ”
Zhang Jin doesn't know what a seller's market is, he only knows that exchanging a stone of grain for a honey candle that can only burn for more than an hour, this kind of thing is probably only a fool would do!
Zhang Miao glanced at Zhang Jin with pity, and wanted to say that poverty limits your imagination, and you don't know what a rich person is. But after thinking about it, he still didn't say it, after all, Zhang Jin is an elder.
"Uncle Jin, there are a lot of rich people in Xiangyang City, and for those good-looking families, a few copper coins are nothing at all." After thinking about it, Zhang Miao patiently explained, "Let's make it clear that this honey candle is a top luxury, and only the real rich family can afford it, so we shouldn't go to the market to inquire about it!" ”
"But we don't know any rich people." Zhang Jin shook his head and said.
"Didn't Deng Tu say that he wanted to help us find a way, let's wait patiently first." Zhang Miao said.
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and after a while, Ma broke in to tell him that Deng Tu had arrived.
"Brother Zhang Jin, are you okay living here?" Deng Tu asked with a smile.
"Very good, the cubs said that they have never lived in such a good room, and they have never slept on such a soft bed." Zhang Jin said with a smile.
Deng Tu said: "That's good, Brother Zhang Jin, I have already told my brother about you, and he promised to help." You can rest assured, there are many wealthy families in Xiangyang City, and the honey candles are not worried about selling at all. ”
Zhang Jin said happily: "That's good, there is Brother Lao Deng Tu." ”
After greeting for a while, Deng Tu was about to say goodbye and leave.
Zhang Jin said: "Why is Brother Deng Tu in a hurry to leave, it's just fine, let's have a few jars of drink!" ”
Deng Tu was a little embarrassed: "Brother Zhang Jin, I'm afraid it won't work today." Today, the state pastor held a cultural meeting in Xijiachi in the south of the city, and my brother asked me and my little daughter to meet the market......"
Zhang Jin understood: "Since Brother Deng Tu has something to do, let's have another day, let's have a good drink another day." ”
Deng Tu smiled: "Thank you brother for your understanding." ”
Just when Deng Tu was about to leave, Zhang Miao, who had been listening silently, spoke.
"Father Deng Zhong, the cultural meeting held by the state pastor must be very lively, can Father Zhong take me to meet the world and take a look at the characters in Jingzhou?" Zhang Miao looked at Deng Tudao without blinking.
"This..."Deng Tu was a little embarrassed, because Deng She also warned him yesterday not to get too close to Zhang Miao, so as not to affect his daughter's lifelong events.
"If Father Deng Zhong is embarrassed, forget it, I and other rough people in the countryside have never seen the world, and if I go, I will be embarrassed by Father Zhong." Zhang Miao said in a light tone.
Deng Tu suddenly couldn't hold it anymore, and his face turned red and said: "Ah Miao, what are you talking about, you are a rough man in the countryside, isn't the middle father also a person who slaughters dogs and pigs!" Go, go with my father! ”
"Ah Miao..." Zhang Jin was about to scold Zhang Miao, but Zhang Miao turned around and gave him a honey candle mouth shape.
"Ah Miao, you are also old, you should go and see the world. That, let Zhang Ping accompany you, and if you have something, you can take care of it. Zhang Jin immediately changed his words.
If you can take this opportunity to make friends with a few and sell the honey candles at a high price, the task of this trip will be completed.
The cultural meeting attended by the state pastor in person is considered to be of the highest standard in Xiangyang, and not everyone can attend this kind of cultural meeting, and there must be an invitation card issued by the state pastor's office. However, Deng She, as a state pastor, is responsible for the peripheral work of the Cultural Association, and it is not a problem to get invitations.
Deng Tu took Zhang Miao and Zhang Ping back home, and Deng Lihua was already dressing up and waiting.
Seeing Zhang Miao, Deng Lihua was very surprised, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Zhang Jun, do you want to participate in the cultural meeting too?" Teresa Teng asked with a smile.
Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "I heard that Jing Xiang is so heroic, and I also want to see it, so I begged my middle father to take me with me." ”
Deng Lihua smiled and said: "With Zhang Jun's knowledge, maybe he can make a splash in the Wenhui." ”
Zhang Miao smiled slightly: "The girl praised it falsely." The girl is dressed so beautifully today, she will definitely be able to charm countless Jing Xiang Junjie! ”
"Nonsense!" Deng Lihua said slightly ashamedly, and put down the curtains of the car windows with a brush.
There was a muttering sound in the carriage, and there seemed to be other women besides Teresa Teng.
"Ah Miao, come on, take down Deng Lihua early!" Zhang Ping whispered in Zhang Miao's ear.
Zhang Miao pushed him and said in a low voice: "What nonsense, what we have to do now is to fool a few fools and sell the honey candle at a high price!" ”
