Zhang Fu, who was next to him, was startled when he heard that his son-in-law actually took the initiative to raise a cucumber from two to one hundred.

He hurriedly leaned over, "San Lang, you can buy half an acre of sloping land for a hundred yuan, and it's too outrageous to buy a cucumber." ”

Zhang Chao crossed the leg of lamb with one hand and smiled disapprovingly.

A bite of roasted lamb shank and a bite of cucumber are both greasy and watery.

"This cucumber is a good thing, but it also depends on whose hands it is. In this way, it is not easy for you to come from Jiangnan, so I will do a good deed, and I will wrap up this cucumber. A hundred, right, give you a thousand dollars. ”

100 1,000 yuan, that's 10 yuan.

Guo Tuzi was pleasantly surprised, the original price at home was two pennies, but now it has risen five times all of a sudden, this is still a round wholesale.

Yang Dayan felt that things were a little abnormal, he heard that the Zhang family father and son were bullies, but he didn't hear that the Zhang family father and son were stupid. This kind of refreshing energy that directly gives a high price should not be Zhang Xiaobawang's style.

"Does Childe have any conditions?"

Li Xiao asked calmly.

Zhang Chao smiled, "Haha, you are very interesting and smart." I'm a person who likes to deal with smart people the most, and I can save a lot of things. This money is nothing to you, but there is one condition, I believe that you have come all the way from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is impossible for you to bring only a hundred cucumbers. ”

Everyone is in a different position, has a different vision, and wants different things. If these cucumbers are placed in front of ordinary soil wealth, they are at most some very rare winter cucumbers, and they grow more delicately.

But Zhang Chao's little overlord in the countryside belongs to the little overlord, but he is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and he often goes in and out of Chang'an.

The end of the year is a good season for gift-giving.

Although this cucumber is not valuable, it is rare and fresh. The aristocracy and wealthy families of Chang'an are sometimes not rare in gold and silver, but rare in these rare and fresh things.

If you use cucumbers as a stepping stone and send them to friends in Chang'an, you will probably be appreciated.

Of course, Zhang Chao also saw a business opportunity from it.

The cucumber in Li Xiao's hand, he really hasn't seen a second one, if he can master the channel of this cucumber and sell it to the noble house of Chang'an and those big restaurants, then he will definitely make a profit, and he will not make less money.

Scarcity is expensive.

Ordinary people may think that a pound of cucumber costs ten cents, which is simply more expensive than eating meat, and they will not eat it at all. But those rich people, who cares about ten cents, what they eat is not money, it is rare and fresh.

"This consistent money is the money of this hundred cucumbers, as long as you continue to supply me with this jasper green after you go back, then how much I will pack in the future, what about the price, of course, it is impossible to calculate it according to ten cents, how about a discount, five cents?"

As he spoke, Zhang Chao stretched out a greasy thug and slapped it directly on Li Xiao's shoulder.

Li Xiao walked sideways without a trace.

"Childe, we're actually just a delivery person, and we can't be the master of continuing to send you cucumbers in the future. Moreover, in fact, we are not specifically here to send jasper green, jasper green is only incidental, otherwise, we will send a hundred jasper green from Yangzhou all the way, and we have a team of people, even if it is a hundred dollars, we will still pay the discount. ”

Zhang Chao was a little dissatisfied.

Why is this little trader still so difficult to speak.

"Do you really only have a hundred cucumbers in your hands?"

"It's true that there are only a hundred, no, it's true that there are only ninety-nine left, and the hundredth has already been eaten by Childe."

Zhang Chao pinched his chin and thought for a while, "This cucumber is indeed produced by Yangzhou Qiyunguan?" ”

"Indeed."

"So this cucumber is really not grown in a greenhouse?"

"Of course not, how can such a good cucumber be grown in a greenhouse? Gongzi lives at the foot of the Son of Heaven, often in and out of Chang'an, it's not unseen in the greenhouse, how can the green vegetables grown in the greenhouse not grow so well? ”

The more I say that, the more I think this is a big business opportunity.

A greedy gaze flashed in his eyes, if he could get his hands on this new variety that Qi Yunguan had spent eighteen years cultivating, and then he would plant this jasper green in Lanxi in the future, it would not be possible.

"Do you know how this jasper green is grown?"

Li Xiao smiled.

"Of course we don't know this, Jasper Qing was cultivated by the Qiyunguan Zhang Immortal after eighteen years of hard work. It is said that Zhang Xianren only planted a small piece, and this kind of seedling can grow, especially the seeds must be planted by Zhang Xianren's hands, and the seeds of jasper green cannot sprout at all. ”

"Oh, that's right." Zhang Chao was a little disappointed, but even more excited. The more I say this, the more business opportunities and valuable this jasper green becomes.

Li Xiao knew very well what the hell Zhang Chao was thinking in his stomach, in the face of a rare thing like Jasper Qing, it was strange that people couldn't afford to be greedy.

"Zhang Gongzi, we only have this hundred jasper green in our hands now, if Zhang Gongzi wants it, we are also very happy, we don't sell two things, but this price has to be negotiated again. Ten pennies a piece, too cheap. As long as Zhang Gongzi thinks about it, this thing is so extraordinary and so rare, or it was transported from Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was preserved so fresh and tender in the winter, he knows how difficult it is. If Gongzi eats these jasper greens, with your connections, it will be too easy to make several times as much money as you can make a casual move in Chang'an. If it's a gift, it's even more satisfying. ”

"Ten cents is a lot, and a pound of pork is only five cents." Zhang Chao put up a shelf.

Li Xiao bargained with Zhang Chao.

But it's all sky-high asking prices, and the money is paid on the spot.

Guo Biao and Yang Dayan were silent on the side, but they didn't know what to say. When I came, I thought it was expensive to have two or three papers, but now I can't understand them arguing about twenty or thirty pieces there.

"Twenty-five wen one!"

"Twenty."

Li Xiao gave a thumbs up, "Okay, just twenty cents, deal!" ”

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed.

"Twenty is twenty, and about it is just two pieces of money, I really don't feel at ease with this money, I just think I bought a fresh one."

Li Xiao was also very satisfied with this transaction, a hundred cucumbers were sold for a hundred stone of corn, which was like robbing money. Especially since this money was snatched from the little overlord Zhang Chao, it is even more comfortable to think about.

The deal was negotiated, and there were no extraneous complications, Zhang Chao asked Li Xiao to keep the cucumber, and then asked Zhang Fu to go to the counter to get the money.

After two payments, Zhang Fu finally took 500 copper coins and a half silk.

At this time, a horse of silk is almost worth ten stones of rice, about a thousand dollars, so the Zhang family did not do anything in the payment, but gave a little more.

"After I go back, if I can get more cucumbers, I will collect as many as I send, and if I can get the cultivation method, I will give you a great fortune." Zhang Chao personally sent it to the door and tempted Li Xiao.

Li Xiao smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and left with a few people.

Zhang Cong and Liu Garlic respectively carried a bag of copper coins and a bundle of silk, and followed behind with excited faces.

"Let's go, go to Lanxi Street to buy grain and meat, and have a good meal tonight!" Li Xiao turned his head to look at the Li Zhai, which was gradually getting smaller and smaller behind him, and turned back to a few people.
