Chapter 266: Selling Tea
Because the son had reached the age of marriage, after the death of her husband, the sister-in-law and her son were driven out by their in-laws, took shelter in a grass hut in the village, and opened the cloth shop with the help of their mother's family. Now with Gu Mingzhu's help, the life of the two of them is getting better and better, and the sister-in-law of the cloth shop is grateful to Gu Mingzhu from the bottom of her heart, so she is extra careful when doing business, for fear of messing up, Gu Mingzhu will not cooperate with her.
This little girl has a flexible mind, a lot of ghost ideas, a rag doll, she made hundreds of tricks, these are beyond the reach of the sister-in-law of the cloth shop.
After a few gentiles ordered the goods, they sat down to drink tea, and they didn't mention the deposit at all, Gu Mingzhu understood that this was testing himself?
Gu Mingzhu is not in a hurry, she has other business to discuss.
"A few people came to the Great Jin Dynasty to do business, but they have not purchased tea." Gu Mingzhu has studied the foreign trade situation of the Great Jin Dynasty, and knows that the current official of the Great Jin Dynasty has no monopoly on silk and tea, and it is some dignitaries and nobles who do this business, and they have planted tea in their hands, and the tea profits are high and the sales are good, but it is a pity that the tea-making technology is not up to par, and the tea is not selling very well.
"Tea? Miss Gu means you have tea for sale? The yellow-haired man from before, who was named Smith, stared at Gu Mingzhu with a pair of blue eyes and asked, Tea is a good thing, make money, but unfortunately they can't get it, this tea production is small, and it was taken away by those large caravans, they can't get it.
Gu Mingzhu didn't talk about tea, but asked, "The deposit of the rag doll...... When does Mr. Shi plan to pay? What if I prepare the goods and Mr. Shi doesn't keep his promise and doesn't want this batch of goods? ”
Smith smiled heartily, "Miss Gu, I didn't mean not to give you a deposit, but you are so small?" I don't know if it's reliable to do business, I'm just testing you, making a harmless joke, I'll pay this deposit, two hundred taels, I don't know if Miss Gu is satisfied?"
Gu Mingzhu smiled, "Of course you are satisfied, you must treat people honestly when doing business, you pay the deposit, let's discuss the tea matter again." ”
Smith happily paid the deposit, and Gu Mingzhu made a receipt.
Smith couldn't help but ask, "Miss Gu, this tea ......." ”
"I'm afraid not this year, now it's the winter season, the tea trees are all yellow, and there will be spring tea in the spring next year, you will come next year, and I will make tea, you will definitely get the first batch of tea next year" Gu Mingzhu said with a determined face.
When Smith heard the previous sentence, he was immediately deflated, and when he heard the latter sentence, his eyes lit up, there is tea and technology, which shows that they will have a steady stream of tea to sell in the future, which is a stable way to make money.
If you make this business bigger, other businesses can stop in the future.
After all, the profit of this tea can be much faster than that of other businesses, and it is not worried about selling.
Thinking of this, he threw out five hundred taels of silver tickets on the stone table, "Miss Gu, this is the deposit for next year's tea, and when the time comes, I hope that Miss Gu will fulfill her promise and have tea to sell to me, and she will also want good quality tea." ”
Gu Mingzhu accepted the silver ticket with a smile, not embarrassed at all.
Seeing that Chu Jing and the sister-in-law of the cloth shop twitched the corners of their mouths, this little girl didn't even have a single piece of tea, so she dared to accept someone else's deposit, saying that she was bold or greedy for money?
Smith also sent a receipt to Gu Mingzhu, Gu Mingzhu looked at it, and motioned for Smith to take it.
A few of them sat down again and talked about the time and place of the loading, and then the Gentiles took their leave, and they too went back to prepare.
Through Smith's mouth, Gu Mingzhu knew that the flowing river on his barren beach turned out to be a canal, from the north to the south, directly to the capital, although this Zhengning County is small, but it is a fulcrum of the canal, many businessmen from the south to the north like to dock their boats on the dock, go to the market town to rest, replenish some food and water, play in the town inn, eliminate fatigue and then go.
It couldn't be more convenient to get goods out of here, and Smith's ship was parked at the docks, and all that was needed was to use an ox cart to transport the goods to the docks.
Thinking that the wheat and vegetables he planted could be continuously transported out of this flowing river in the future, and then turned into white flowers and silver to be brought back, Gu Mingzhu was excited.
The sister-in-law of the cloth shop also had to go to Cangku to count the goods that would be shipped tomorrow, and Gu Mingzhu had to go back to the village to collect some rag dolls to make up the numbers, so she didn't dare to stay in the sister-in-law's shop of the cloth shop for more and went out of the cloth shop.
Gu Mingming bought some spices and ingredients for making hot pot in the market town, and then came to the place where the carriage stopped with Chu Jing, and Yun Chi was standing by the carriage waiting, looking around and waiting for them to come back.
Yun Chi wanted to go with Gu Mingzhu and them, but was glared back by Chu Jing with a cold look, thinking that the general wanted to be alone with the young lady to cultivate a relationship, so he didn't follow to be a big bulb.
Seeing the two of them coming back, they hurriedly greeted them, first looked at Gu Mingzhu's hand, and saw that she was carrying some spices and ingredients in her hand, so she knew that Gu Mingzhu was going to make something delicious, so she stepped forward to help her carry it over, and asked as she walked, "Is the young lady going to eat again?" ”
Gu Mingzhu replied with a smile, "Of course you have to make it delicious, otherwise why buy so many ingredients?" It's just you, who thinks about food all day long, take a look! The body is fat, and in the future, if the girl wants to marry you, you should eat less, so as not to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. ”
As soon as he heard Gu Mingzhu say that he would marry a daughter-in-law, Yun Chi's face turned red, and he looked at his fat figure, and he couldn't help but be worried, this really has to be restrained, lest he not be able to marry his daughter-in-law and cut off the incense.
Thinking that Yun Chi is older than himself and that he is married, Yun Chi didn't even say anything about his relatives, he has no father or mother now, he is almost like an orphan, no one worries about his family affairs, where would Chu Jing, a big man, think of this?
Gu Mingzhu felt that as a housemother, she should care about the lifelong affairs of her subordinates.
Then he asked, "Yunchi, what kind of girl do you like?" If you don't dislike it, I'll help you find one, you've reached the age of marriage, and it's time to think about it. ”
Chu Jing glanced at Gu Mingzhu in surprise, is this little girl preparing to be a matchmaker?
Yun Chi glanced up at Gu Mingzhu, and then said with a red face after a while, "I don't know either?" I think something like the young lady is fine. ”
The young lady is so good, smart and beautiful, he also wants to find such a daughter-in-law.
Chu Jing's face turned black on the spot, what did this kid say? How do you call it like a little girl? The little girl is the only one, can she still find the second one, could it be that this kid hit the little girl with the idea?
The more Chu Jing thought about it, the more he felt that there was such a possibility, and his eyes looking at Yun Chi were like knives, and he wanted to chop him alive.
