Chapter 65 High-end atmospheric and high-grade cabbage
"This time I came to the capital, and the principal brought a total of five auspicious rui, which were first sold in the store."
Du Shen touched the stubble on his chin, clapped his hands, and said, "Shopkeeper, how much do you think a cabbage should be sold for?" ”
The shopkeeper replied tentatively: "Ordinary cabbage, about 30 yuan a ......."
Du Shen pouted: "Ours is auspicious!" ”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "It's the villain's mistake, our auspicious Rui, the quality is very good, why do you have to sell it for sixty wen?" ”
Having said that, there was not the slightest confidence in his tone.
No matter how you say it, it's just a cabbage, and if you can sell it for sixty yuan, unless it's more money to burn!
However, when Du Shen heard this, his face was not good-looking.
What's that?
Sixty texts?
He has worked so hard to grow Chinese cabbage for so long, and only one sells so little?
Who to fool!
Du Shen stretched out a hand: "Fifty taels of silver!" ”
The shopkeeper's mouth couldn't close: "Fifty taels of silver? If this spreads, people will point their noses and scold! ”
Du Shen snorted disdainfully.
Scold?
Then you have to find this principal!
Of course!
This must not be said, otherwise if you don't say it, even the eyes of a few apprentices looking at you will become strange.
Du Shen cleared his throat and said in a soothing tone: "Don't worry, someone will definitely buy it, and they are still begging us to buy it!" ”
The shopkeeper could only nod yes.
The Mr. Du Shen in front of him, but the master of his own little grandfather, where is the seniority, let alone fifty taels of silver, even if it is five hundred taels of silver, he can only bite the bullet.
Du Shen was a little embarrassed when he saw that the shopkeeper was so obedient, so he explained: "Our cabbage...... Phew, our auspicious rui is not ordinary, of course we can't sell it at the price of ordinary cabbage, and what we sell is not for eating, what we sell is forcible grid, forced grid, do you understand? ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "The villain doesn't understand!" ”
At this time, Zhao Xiu spoke.
He arched his hand and said with understanding: "Back to the words of the master, the apprentice often hears the master say, there must be a style in life, there must be a pattern in doing things, no matter what the background is, the posture must be sufficient, is this a forced style?" ”
Zhang Hao, Xu Pengju, and Wang Gui all looked up at their masters, with inquiring expressions.
Du Shen nodded approvingly: "The son can be taught." ”
Finished!
He turned his head to the shopkeeper and instructed: "In this way, make some chests out of fine wood, and carve them extremely gorgeously on the outside, highlighting the two points of luxury and nobility, and then sell our auspicious fortune under the pretext of luxury." ”
As the saying goes, scarcity is precious, and the cabbage that grows in this season is a rarity.
It shouldn't be a problem to sell a tough price, right?
Du Shen thought so, and all kinds of thoughts suddenly popped up in his head.
There are a lot of rich people in the capital, and there are exchanges during the New Year's holidays, and the gifts they give are worth thousands of gold, if you fool the cabbage......
Ahem!
If you package auspicious rui as a luxury luxury and find someone to promote it, you will be able to make a lot of money.
If you want to do it, the shopkeeper hasn't reacted yet, so Du Shen is busy first.
"Pengju, go get brush and ink for the teacher!"
"Yes, Master!"
With that, Xu Pengju walked to the edge of the store's booth and brought a brush and rice paper.
After taking the brush, Du Shen spread out the rice paper, and the little apprentice Wang Gui personally studied the ink.
I saw the pen walking the dragon and snake, the handwriting flew, and soon two lines of big characters jumped on the rice paper.
"There will be no gifts for the holidays this year, only jade cabbage will be accepted for gifts!"
Du Shen smiled and nodded with great satisfaction.
"In the future, our auspicious rui will be called jade cabbage!"
The shopkeeper's hand: "The villain obeys!" ”
Holding this piece of rice paper, Du Shen walked directly to the door of the store, skimmed the hanging sign, and pasted the rice paper directly.
"What a broken signboard, it's really an eyesore to watch!"
Xu Pengju on the side scratched his head, he looked at his husband's behavior, and actually wanted to say that the signboard was hung by your old man.
But thinking of the experience of being a thief, Xu Pengju was secretly speechless.
Coincidentally, as soon as he turned around, he happened to meet Wang Gui's eyes.
Wang Gui's eyes were complicated, but Xu Pengju was an old god.
It's all a small scene for repeat offenders.
……
At this time.
In the palace, like Du Shen, Emperor Hongzhi was also extremely attentive to cabbage.
A few days ago, after he asked for ten cabbages from Du Shen, he took them from his son, a total of eleven cabbages, and planted them all in the imperial garden.
And, in the middle of the Imperial Garden, a room-sized vegetable greenhouse was built coldly, just for growing cabbage, which looked very strange.
However, Emperor Hongzhi did not feel this way at all, he carried a kettle, watered the Chinese cabbage in the vegetable greenhouse, and opened his mouth while watering.
"Xue Li, how is my cabbage looking?"
"Back to Your Majesty's words, this cabbage is crystal clear, glowing with a little green, the slave maid thinks that it is also a masterpiece in the world, and it is still growing in the winter season, it is a first-class rarity!"
In the end, it was Xue Li, who had served Emperor Hongzhi for many years, and his flattery was too much for people to pick out the brush.
Sure enough!
Emperor Hongzhi was very useful, and his face also showed a color of complacency.
"I have this cabbage, green and pleasing to look at, and after a long time, I will take it out of the soil and send one to each of the four cabinet ministers, the British Duke, the Wei Guogong, and the Xincheng Bo all work hard and deserve one."
As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi shook the kettle and said, "As for the rest, I want to stay and enjoy it with Empress Zhang." ”
And yet at this moment.
Suddenly, the voice of a eunuch came from the Imperial Garden.
"Your Majesty, the queen brought the crown prince here and asked for an audience!"
Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was slightly stunned, and his heart chuckled suddenly.
Audience? What does this mean?
As His Majesty of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi only married one wife in his life, that is, Empress Zhang, the relationship between the two is very good, there has never been friction, compared to the relationship between the emperor and the queen, it is more like a husband and wife.
If Empress Zhang wants to see Emperor Hongzhi, she really needs to inform her under normal circumstances.
However, the Imperial Garden is owned by the Crown.
Even if Empress Zhang knew that Emperor Hongzhi was here, she didn't need to mention the word "Hajj" if she wanted to come over.
Could it be that I did something wrong? Can you make the queen angry?
Emperor Hongzhi looked suspicious and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wrong!
Since I brought the prince here, I'm afraid something will be wrong......
Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly, handed the kettle to Xue Li, and walked straight out.
Facing each other, Empress Zhang and the crown prince Zhu Houzhao just caught up.
Empress Zhang is not very old, and she is not a stunning beauty in appearance, but she has the temperament of a mother in her eyebrows, which is quite powerful.
Xue Lizuo waved his hand: "The slave has seen Queen Zhang and His Majesty the Prince." ”
Empress Zhang smiled and raised her hand: "Eunuch Xue, you go down first, there is something to discuss with Your Majesty in this palace." ”
Xue Li glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, who nodded and retreated directly.
After he left, Empress Zhang's expression changed, and she sighed sadly and said: "I heard that Your Majesty has been staying in the Imperial Garden all day long except for the previous court, and the concubines thought that Your Majesty was overworked and wanted to relax, but who would have thought that she was holding a few cabbages and turning around, didn't Your Majesty feel a little lost." ”
Zhu Houzhao also followed: "Father, you have to deal with all the major affairs in the court, please think twice!" ”
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Empress Zhang, glanced at Zhu Houzhao again, and secretly sneered in his heart.
Prince, Prince, you went to your mother's place to sue your father......
I see your skin is itchy again!
