After a few days, Zhang Chao met with the shopkeeper of Risheng Grain Bank again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, it was the home-guest translocation, last time Zhang Chao took the initiative to come to the door to talk about grain procurement, wanted to have some discounts, and hoped to be able to settle the month, but the shopkeeper of Risheng Grain Bank rejected with disdain.

And now, the half-old shopkeeper with a soft-footed head is a lot haggard, and the whole person no longer has a rooster-like domineering, only the soft-footed head on his head is as weak as the soft-footed head.

"I've seen Saburo."

The shopkeeper sped up and trotted over from afar, and gave Zhang Chao a salute, which was quite polite.

Zhang Chao smiled slightly, enjoying this feeling.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, don't come unharmed!"

Shopkeeper Zhao sighed helplessly, "Recently, food prices have fallen sharply every day, my heart is broken, and my hair is gray." I heard that Xiao Langjun was called, Xiao Lao'er immediately came, let me introduce, this is our host Zhao Langjun, said to be a neighbor with Xiao Langjun, the Zhao family is opposite Zhangjiagou, across the bath ditch. ”

Zhao Dahu is about the same age as the shopkeeper, he is also around fifty, and his hair is half white. It's very dark and thin, and he's only wearing a simple cloth robe. Seeing Zhang Chao, he hurriedly said hello.

"Xiao Langjun wants to buy grain?" Zhao Dahu asked impatiently. The Zhao family was originally the landlord of Nanyuan, the world was in turmoil in recent years, all parties were in turmoil, and the grain was extremely expensive, so Zhao Dahu began to do a grain business, he no longer just took the grain output on his own farm to Chang'an store to sell, but also began to buy grain vigorously like other grain merchants, and then hoarded Juqi and sold it at a high price.

In previous years, I did make a lot of money.

At the time of this year's summer harvest, Zhao Dahu made a wrong judgment and felt that the battle of Tang, Zheng and Xia in the Central Plains would definitely not be so easy to distinguish the winner and loser, and if the battle was stalemate in front of the front, a large number of government soldiers stayed on the front line and could not come back, which would inevitably affect the harvest in the second half of the year, and even affect next year's harvest.

In the past, too, food prices were bound to rise during and after the war. At that time, the doumi had already been fried to 400, and he thought that it would be possible to rise to a new high, and by next year, when the harvest was not good, it would be possible to sell the grain even if it was 800 doumi.

It is precisely this judgment that Zhao Dahu has been buying a large amount of grain since the summer, and what is the harvest of rice, wheat, millet, pepper and sorghum, because many grain merchants also judge the same as him, resulting in the purchase price of grain rising again this year.

No one expected that in the Central Plains War, the Tang Dynasty said that it would win, and it was so beautiful, and the soldiers who went out did not die much, and this battle was easier than fighting for Hedong two years earlier to fight Liu Wuzhou.

What is even more unexpected is that Li Xiaogong and Li Jing marched south to Jiangling, and Xiao Mill had 400,000 troops, but they were wiped out before they could survive for a month. Closely following the southeast and Lingnan, the situation in the world was clear.

A large amount of grain has entered Beijing, causing the grain merchants, who have been holding on to their grain and waiting for the price to rise, to lose money all of a sudden.

The price of grain is falling more and more day by day, and the more grain in hand is pressed, the more it is to lose.

If it was in the past, Zhang Chao, a customer who only needed 100 stone grains a month, Zhao Dahu would not have dared to come forward in person, let alone come to meet in person.

But the situation is stronger than people, Zhang Chao said a word, he had to run over, and he was afraid that it would be too late, and the business would be robbed by others.

Zhang Chao understood Zhao Dahu's current mood very well, thinking that when he knew that the grain had plummeted, it was just as bad as thinking about the hundreds of stone grain that he had purchased and stored.

Zhang Chao smiled, "I do have plans to buy grain, you also know, now the famous yellow buns and meat buns in Chang'an are all operated by my Zhang family, up to now, our Zhang family has this shop in Chang'an West City, and there are four shops outside the four gates, in addition to seven shops in Ningmin, Lantian and other counties and townships. ”

Zhao Dahu was smiling with him, but he was secretly hating in his heart, why was he so unlucky, but this little guy was so lucky, and he made such a big situation in business.

He thought in his heart that the Zhang family had eleven cake shops, and he had heard that the Zhang family's shop had a good business, and people who came to buy cakes every day had to queue up for a long time, and he also asked the guys to line up to buy them.

Eleven stores need a lot of food every day, if the Zhang family can buy grain from their own grain store, it can also reduce losses and stop losses.

"I don't know how much Xiao Langjun is going to buy, I will definitely give the best price!"

Zhang Chao was not in a hurry, he held the spoon in his hand and gently stirred the bean curd in the bowl in front of him.

This bean curd is also the next new product of the iron gun cake shop, and it is actually very simple to make, much simpler than making tofu. Freshly out of the pot of bean curd is served in a bowl, sprinkled with maltose, and then served with a bowl of shrimp skin pickles, chopped fritters, green onion soup, and a plate of fried buns, which makes people appetite.

Because it is cold now, Zhang Chao's bowl of bean curd also adds a little ginger juice.

"Shopkeeper, give Zhao Dongjia and Zhao Shopkeeper a bowl of bean curd, and then a plate of raw fried soup and a bowl of soup."

It's not morning, but you can still think of it as an afternoon meal.

Zhao Dahu was thinking about selling grain, but Zhang Chao was not in a hurry, and he had no choice but to sit down and pay for the bean curd.

Douhua is not Zhang Chao's exclusive invention, the Han Dynasty began with tofu, and there was also bean curd. It's just that just like Zhang Chao's yellow bun can be outstanding, Zhang Chao's bean curd is indeed more delicious.

Especially with that bowl of soup, served with raw pan-fried.

"It's delicious." Zhao Dahu ate a few bites and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

The crispy and golden fried bun has a crispy skin on the outside and a tender meat filling and soup inside. The egg drop soup with crushed fritters is also very delicious.

Zhao Dahu was like a whirlwind in the clouds, and he had eaten and drunk all of them before he knew it. After eating, there is still a feeling that the order is still unfinished.

"Uncle Zhao, I plan to get grain from Risheng Grain Bank in the future."

"Thank you for taking care of me, thank you." When Zhao Dahu heard this, he was extremely happy, "I don't know how much?" ”

Zhangjia Cake Shop is now in good shape, and there are eleven store chain operations, but now the main product is still yellow bun, which is actually a bean dregs nest, and these two are the most sold.

However, Zhang Chao had also hoarded more than 500 stone corn before, so for the time being, Zhang Chao would not buy corn at Zhao's house.

Zhang Chao plans to buy wheat and soybeans this time, and then Zhang Chao plans to focus on selling meat buns and fried buns, and is preparing to officially sell white flour steamed buns.

The Zhang's soybean milk, tofu, dried tofu and bean dregs also need to use a lot of soybeans.

Zhang Chao didn't plan to collect it in the countryside, he planned to order it directly from the Zhao family.

Now the business of Zhangjia Cake Shop is so hot, and there are eleven store chain operations, and there are a lot of wheat beans needed. Zhang Chao conservatively calculated, eleven cake shops, plus some retail stall carts, as well as delivery to restaurants, all together, if the business is up, at least 3,000 catties of flour will be needed a day.

The flour yield of wheat is generally about seventy percent, more than 3,000 catties of flour, and more than 4,000 catties of wheat are processed.

The demand for beans in the Zhang family is higher, such as bean sprouts, bean curd, tofu and bean dregs and dried tofu, etc., Zhang Chao estimates that it will cost 5,000 catties a day.

"Forty stone of wheat, fifty stone of soybeans." Zhang Chao reported a number and reported a little more margin.

"Every day?" Zhao Dahu asked.

"Every day." Zhang Chao nodded.

Nearly 100 stone grain is needed a day, and nearly 3,000 stone grain is needed in a month.

"Xiao Langjun, now that the price of grain is affordable, it is better for you to buy more at a time, and I can also discount the market price more." Zhao Dahu asked with some expectations.

Zhang Chao smiled, everyone can see that now the price of grain is unstable, the grain market has collapsed, those merchants who hoard grain can't hold on, many small grain merchants are bankrupt, and a large amount of grain is quickly sold.

"No, I want the Sunrise Grain Line to give the food according to the number I just gave. I have a request, the Zhao family's men have to deliver grain to Zhangjiagou and various designated stores every day. ”

"The grain payment is settled every seven days, and the grain price can be taken according to the market on the same day, but I ask for a 10% discount."

Zhao Dahu's brows furrowed, Zhang Chao's conditions were not very good.

Under normal circumstances, of course, the grain store will also deliver food to customers, but it has to charge additional freight. What's more, in this case, the seven-day settlement of the grain payment is even more difficult for Zhao Dahu to accept, not to mention a nine-percent discount.

"Xiao Langjun, you are a little bit of a danger to others!"

"Uncle Zhao, what you said is wrong, I came to talk to you about this matter for the sake of our neighbors. Now that the grain market is collapsing, how many grain merchants are waiting to sell their grain, and the price of this grain is one price a day, and it will be a lot of benefits for one more day. ”

"The payment for grain is settled on the same day, cash on delivery, there is no discount, I can give you free delivery to the designated place." Zhao Dahu also knew that he didn't have much confidence.

Customers who can buy 3,000 stone of grain a month are really big customers, and if they maintain it well, they can become long-term customers in the future.

Put it in the past, the grain is not worried, and Zhao Dahu doesn't care too much, but now, it's not him asking for help.

"I also take a step back, the grain payment is settled every five days, and the price of grain is still with the market on the day of the transaction, 95% off. This is my final bottom line, if I can't talk about it, then I can only say that it is a pity. ”

"One knot in three days, ninety-eight fold, free food delivery to the door."

Zhao Dahu gritted his teeth and paid back another price.

Looking at Landlord Zhao's appearance, this is my last bottom limit, and Zhang Chao is content. When it came to this condition, he was satisfied. In fact, the price of grain is settled in a few days, it doesn't matter, Zhang Chao is in the catering business, and the return of funds is the fastest, which is a cash flow business, and there is no need to press the cost or anything like that.

Zhang Chao is really happy about the nine-eight-fold discount and the free delivery of food to the door. Grain is also considered a bulk commodity, and the amount of nearly 100 stones a day is also a transaction of more than 100 yuan a day, and a ninety-eighty discount can also reduce two or three yuan. In particular, free delivery can save Zhang Chao a lot of manpower and material resources.

"Okay, I'll give in one more step, just according to your terms, let's say there is no evidence, let's sign a contract!"
