Chapter 296: A Little Try
No matter what Jia Yi said, Feng Zhiang had already regarded all Jia Yi's words as bragging, and he despised his face with contempt in his heart, if Feng Ang wasn't here, Feng Zhiang would even directly let people bomb their group of people back into the sea, he didn't have much respect for the northerners, but thought they were a group of arrogant fools in his heart.
Jia Yi, who saw all of Feng Zhiang's expressions in his eyes, only shook his head helplessly, wanting to change a person's mind just by talking about it, it is really a very difficult thing, after all, there is nothing really happening in front of him, and no one will choose to believe it directly.
Jia Yi asked the person behind him to take down a canned food from the boat, yellow peach, this thing is definitely a rare thing in Lingnan, and it happens that Feng Ang is here, he can also testify to the value of this canned yellow peach.
Soon, a small can appeared in Jia Yi's hand, skillfully went out to seal the mud and lifted the lid, and a faint fragrance with a slight sweetness floated out of the can, so that everyone in Lingnan couldn't help but take a hard breath.
Feng Zhiang was no exception, he couldn't help but lean towards Jia Yi, put his nose to the mouth of the jar and inhaled fiercely, the fragrance of yellow peaches made him like this taste for the first time, but just now the two of them were still tense opponents, but now he can't wipe off his face no matter what.
"Brother Feng, try it, this is my specialty in Guanzhong, yellow peach." Jia Yi put the canned yellow peach in his hand in front of Feng Zhiang with a smile on his face.
At first, Feng Zhiang was a little reluctant to take it, but he really hadn't smelled such a fragrant delicacy, although he was a little resistant in his heart, his hand still involuntarily stretched out in front of Jia Yi, took the can in Jia's hand, and without using a spoon, he directly reached into the can, grabbed a yellow peach, stuffed it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully.
Just took a bite, Feng Zhiang's eyes widened, this kind of delicacy that had never appeared in Lingnan conquered his taste buds for the first time, and the start became much faster, and after a while, all the canned food in the small half jar got into his stomach, and then distributed the canned food in his hand to the soldiers standing behind him, which is something that any general would do.
"What does Brother Feng think?" Jia Yi saw that Feng Ang wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve very boldly, and then asked with a smile.
"Well, it's very good, this should be a kind of fruit, called yellow peach, it's really delicious." Feng Zhiang had an opinion on Jia Yi, but he couldn't help but praise Huang Tao, nodded with satisfaction, and gave the most fair evaluation.
When Feng Ang sat on the side and saw his son's appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile on his face, he had already understood Jia Yi's purpose, but Feng Zhiang didn't realize that he was standing in Jia Yi's position now, but he didn't plan to remind Feng Zhiang, after all, if Jia Yi could have a good relationship with Feng Zhiang, then Jia Yi's fortune work in Lingnan would also be able to save Feng Ang a lot of trouble.
"Then, how much does Brother Feng think this can should be sold for?"
Feng Zhiang didn't completely lose his mind, seeing the smile on Jia's face, he immediately felt that there must be something wrong with this, but he really couldn't think of it for a while, looking towards his father, but he saw that his father turned his face to the side, and he couldn't see the expression on his father's face at all.
Although he didn't know how much this yellow peach could sell for in Chang'an, this delicacy was something Feng Zhiang had never tasted, so he felt that this fresh thing should have a good price, hesitated slightly, cut the price in his heart by half, and then stretched out a finger to Jia Yi.
"Consistent money."
"Brother Feng, I have a thousand jars of canned yellow peaches on this ship, since Brother Feng loves them so much, it is better to buy them all, in addition, I also have a thousand canned pears and a thousand canned apples on this ship, the taste is very good, Brother Feng want to try it, the price is according to what Brother Feng said, how about a jar of money?"
Looking at the smile on Jia Yi's face that had not changed in any way, Feng Zhiang knew for the first time that the price he said must be high, otherwise he would never let Jia Yi sell these canned foods to himself so happily, but he really couldn't understand that such a delicious thing could not be regarded as expensive for Qian Jue, but why did Jia Yi still look like he was winning, could it be that there was still a profit in it?
Feng Ang shook his head, but seeing that his son was about to suffer, he had no choice but to open his mouth to reveal the mystery.
"Ang'er, this canned food is at most ten cents a jar in Chang'an City, of course, the cost of the jar itself is not counted, if the jar is counted, it will be at most twenty cents, you spend the same money, Jia Yi has turned fifty times."
Feng Zhiang believed that his father would never deceive himself, so that is to say, the price that his father said was the real price of the can, but how could this be possible, how could such a delicious thing be so cheap, Feng Zhiang, who couldn't figure it out, frowned for the first time, but he had never studied business, but he couldn't figure out the key.
Feng Ang shook his head again and explained the principle of this.
"Ang'er, scarcity is expensive, in our Lingnan, this canned yellow peach is indeed very scarce, even if it is sold for the same money, I believe no one will feel that it is a loss, but in Chang'an City, this yellow peach is not said to be everywhere, it is definitely a very common thing, therefore, this canned food can only be sold for 20 yuan in Chang'an City, as for Jia Yi just said that a lychee can be sold for 100 yuan in Chang'an City, it is not an exaggeration, to manufacture, if it is directly transported, no matter how many lychees are made to Chang'an City, wait for it, It's all broken, and no one in Chang'an City can eat this kind of food that only belongs to Lingnan, so let alone a hundred wen a piece, even if it is a price of two hundred wen or even higher, there will be people who are willing to pay for a taste, I'm right, Jia Yi. ”
When Jia Yi heard this, he bowed slightly and said: "What Yue Gong said is very true, it is the truth that rare things are precious, but there is also my credit for this, that is, the production of the canned food, otherwise if you want to eat lychees from Lingnan, it will take at least fifty years to do it." ”
Riding the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was lychee, what she said was that Yang Guifei wanted to eat lychee, so that people could get it from Lingnan 800 miles to Chang'an urgently, but this kind of lychee that was not chilled and sealed and preserved, even after the messenger sent it to Chang'an non-stop, the lychee would not be saved, and the taste would be lost.
Feng Ang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he raised his head violently and laughed loudly, Jia Yi did not show any modesty about bringing such a thing as canned food to Datang, he said it very directly, without any pretentious appearance, although this is a bit of a show-off, but it is a big compound Feng An's taste, what is his own is his own, there is no need to hide the choking and make people guess, which makes people disgusted.
Feng Zhiang finally saw Jia Yi's methods, although he didn't know how this can was made, but being able to think of such a thing as making canned food was very telling in itself, so his opinion of Jia Yi had changed a lot, at least he didn't think that Jia Yi was useless.
Jia Yi, as the leader, first visited Feng An, and after Cheng Chumo and others dealt with the things on the ship, they also came to Feng An, and after greeting him, he was pulled into Guangzhou City and Yue Gongfu by Feng Ang with a large team.
On the banquet, Cheng Chumo became the undisputed focus, if nothing else, just because Cheng Chumo's alcohol consumption was so good, Feng Zhiang originally had the heart to find some face on the wine table, but he didn't think about what Cheng Chumo did, but Cheng Chumo was dizzy, so far, he can be regarded as knowing, it turns out that the gentlemen of Chang'an City are not in vain.
Feng Ang watched the younger generation drinking and playing, and they were happy to thicken their friendship, but when he took the time, he still asked Jia Yi about the giant ship with a curious face.
"Boy, you built the giant ship?"
Jia Yi nodded noncommittally, to say that the matter of making ship models was really done by Jia Yi alone, but he did not have any participation in the construction of giant ships, after all, he really didn't know much about the things that were made, rather than pointing fingers at the shipbuilding site, it was better to directly delegate power and let his craftsmen give full play to their imagination and build the giant ship well.
"Sort of."
"I didn't know what modesty was just now, but now I'm humbling Lao Tzu."
Feng Ang scolded and patted Jia Yi lightly on the back of the head, and then mysteriously approached Jia Yi and said softly: "How about the construction technology for me, you can mention the conditions as you like, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you." ”
Jia Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this, he found that these princes and kings all have a great desire for huge items, there was a Li Daozong before, and now Feng Ang is still like this, it is really a headache.
In desperation, Jia Yi could only move out the great god Li Er, and sure enough, no matter what time it was, Li Er's reputation was absolutely good, and after seeing Feng An's face change several times, he never mentioned this matter again.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Feng Zhiang had already been poured under the table by Cheng Chumo, maybe he felt that he hadn't drunk enough, and he was thinking about pouring down a few people, Jia Yi was the first to pat his stomach and say that he was full, and walked outside, joking, drinking with Cheng Chumo is not enjoyment, it is looking for guilt.
