"Cucumbers?"

Zhang Papi first snorted coldly, and then changed his tone, "Hey, this cucumber is a little unusual." ”

Xiaobawang said proudly, "Dad, this is not an ordinary cucumber, this is called Jasper Qing, it is said that it was personally cultivated by Zhang Xianren of Qiyunguan in Yangzhou, and it can also be cultivated in winter without greenhouses." Especially if you look at this cucumber, it is long and tender, one is better than the ordinary several, especially this color, green and green, like jade, it tastes very delicious, I heard that women cut thin slices and apply them on their faces, and they can also beautify their faces. ”

"So what, isn't it just a cucumber, can it still be worth a hundred years old ginseng?" Zhang Peel took a closer look, and made a disdainful sound again. He sees things differently than his son's starting point. This cucumber is rare, but it is just a cucumber, and when it comes to flowers, it is still a cucumber.

"Dad, how can you say such a thing, it's a good thing. Any idea how much I paid for it? Two thousand dollars. Zhang Chao proudly raised two fingers.

As a result, when Zhang Papi heard this, he was angry, and directly kicked him, "Kill you a loser, you will spend 2,000 yuan on a cucumber." Do you know what you can do with 2,000 yuan, you can buy two old ginseng and buy several acres of mountain land. I'll kill you a loser, and all you know all day is the loser's stuff. ”

Little pickpockets are scurrying.

"Dad, it's not two thousand dollars for a cucumber, it's a hundred. I bought a hundred for 2,000 dollars! ”

"A hundred?"

Zhang Papi stopped, panting, "Where are so many cucumbers?" ”

"There is a trader from the south of the Yangtze River, he was originally entrusted by Qi Yunguan to send this batch of cucumbers to Beijing, but because something happened to the person who received the goods in the capital, he sold the cucumbers, and it happened that my son and I bought it with vision. Twenty wen a piece, it's really not expensive. ”

"It's really not expensive."

Zhang Papi sat back on the bed and reached out to twist his beard.

"Those cucumbers are the same?"

"It's like this, almost every one is arm-long, about a pound, and the length is extremely well-proportioned, and it is extremely tender. I also tried one, and it was also very delicious, tender and crispy, and sweet and delicious. ”

"You're back on business."

Zhang Papi heard that there were 100 sticks, so he took out the one in the box and looked at it and ate it. I ate a few bites, but I couldn't stop.

In winter, this cucumber is actually better than many fruits. It is difficult to preserve fresh fruits in winter, especially in the Guanzhong area, you can eat a few kinds of fresh fruits, but this cucumber is not the taste of ordinary summer at all, it is too delicious.

"Dad, that's what my son thinks, let's order a batch of gift boxes, and make them more classy, take sandalwood as a box, and then put silk lining inside. The exquisite and high-end atmosphere of this cucumber packaging, we took it as a gift, and said that this is the fairy fruit jasper green of Qiyunguan Zhang Daxian in Yangzhou, Jiangnan, which is better than ginseng········"

The Zhang family has always been engaged in the business of lending, and they can always live a very free life in Lanxi, firstly, because it is not illegal to lend usury in these years, and secondly, because the Zhang family has always paid attention to the official government, what is the official record in the yamen, and even the staff of the county order bookkeeper, and even the local governor Baozheng, etc., they will all be up and down, and naturally they will be more accommodating to his family's affairs, and even cooperate.

The Zhang family knows better than anyone that the network that their family has painstakingly managed is their family's umbrella. At any time, this network cannot be messed up.

Giving some gifts to the people above is naturally indispensable.

This cucumber is so novel, it is a little unusual to give it to it, and it is indeed not bad compared to ordinary gifts. Especially for those with higher status, they often don't like ordinary yellow and white things.

"Yes, I know I'm starting to think with my head." Zhang Papi praised his son.

"What about the merchant who sells cucumbers, I want to meet him."

"Dad, they're gone."

"Gone?" Zhang Papi frowned again, "Since they can bring a hundred cucumbers, they can bring more, you haven't thought about seizing this opportunity?" Idiot? ”

"Dad, my son had thought of it a long time ago, but they really only had a hundred cucumbers in their hands. But my son had already told the man that if he could help get us more cucumbers, I would pay the price. And I told him that if he could get us the seeds of the cucumber, or even the cultivation method, I would give us a lot of money. ”

"You're still too tender. How can you let go of such an important matter in a few sentences. If it were me, I would send someone to follow these people, no matter if they really went back to Yangzhou or where they went, and followed them wherever they went. In any case, it is necessary to find out where the cucumber is produced, as long as you find the place and person who grows the cucumber, there will always be a way to get more cucumbers, and even how to grow this cucumber. ”

He sighed, greed in his eyes.

"Son, this cucumber is really unusual, if we can master this cucumber cultivation method, it is to dig a cash cow."

"Dad, then I'll arrange for someone to go to Yangzhou now, didn't he say that it was cultivated and planted by the Zhang Immortals of Qiyunguan in Yangzhou, and the monk can still run to the temple if he runs?"

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll send someone to investigate. However, it is not certain whether this matter is as the man said. ”

Zhang Papi sighed again and again, always feeling that he had missed a cash cow.

"Give me fifty of these cucumbers tomorrow."

"Dad, why do you want so much?"

Zhang Papi glared at Zhang Chao, "What does your father want to do, and I want to ask you?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

"The important thing in gift-giving is not whether the thing is worth or not, but whether it has a heart. Although this cucumber is good, it is not suitable for everyone. For example, if you send money to the clerks in the chief yamen there, it is not appropriate for you to send cucumbers, you have to send money, directly a string of heavy copper coins, or even a silver cake, which is more effective than anything else. ”

"But if you are giving gifts to the county order or the lord's book, you can't give these mundane things anymore, you have to give some antique calligraphy and paintings, or some unique books and the like, as well as high-quality paper and pencils. For another example, sending some jasper green that sounds very fairy and tastes good can also please them, understand? ”

"That's what Daddy said."

"Our restaurant has not been able to do Fuchun Restaurant, I plan to get some jasper green to go to the restaurant, be a gimmick, hype and publicize, attract a little attention, and attract some popularity."

"Dad, our family's Fugui Restaurant has never been able to do Fuchun Restaurant, can it be done with a few cucumbers?"

"What's not going to work, it's up to you how you do it. Let's promote this jasper green well, and then the restaurant only sells one plate a day, so that the guests can bid, and the one with the highest price will win. Only the highest bidder can eat it, and the rest of the people, no matter how rich they are, can only wait for the next day to bid for it. ”

"What you want, it's this gimmick, Jasper Qing can just use it to get this gimmick." Zhang Papi smiled and taught his son his way of business.

The little overlord who listened to it was greatly admired, and Jiang was really old and spicy.
