I bought two pieces of paper and a Mao Wen, plus an inkstone and a piece of ink, and the money was gone.

Da Biao called the store a money-grabbing shop.

"Value for money, the stationery of the reader, how can it be measured like this. If you want to say expensive, the new dishes of Fuchun Restaurant today are only expensive, but they are just a plate of cucumbers, but they are sold at a consistent sky-high price. The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.

"Hold the grass!" Da Biao couldn't help but roar.

The cucumbers in Fuchun Restaurant, aren't they sold yesterday, one for five yuan, and twenty for the wholesale price, and the total is only one hundred yuan. They sold it for a plate of money today?

Changed hands and multiplied two hundred times?

Profiteers, big profiteers.

Out of the store, Da Biao was still scolding his mother angrily.

"We've got to go to them, damn it, raise the price."

"Forget it, business, you and I want to. Yesterday we talked about the five cents, today they sell a consistent plate, that's their own business. It is their ability to sell out, and if they can't sell it, it has nothing to do with us, and as for whether they are profiteers or not, what does it have to do with us? ”

Merchants, no businessmen, no traitors.

However, Li Xiao feels that this restaurant is just a gimmick to hype. It has always been a dish of money, it is indeed expensive, even if it is a bear's paw hump, it is not so expensive, but after all, it is a new thing, and it is normal to hype and hype and advertise.

After the beginning of this freshness, especially when everyone finds out that this jasper green is not the only one, it will definitely not be able to sell at this high price.

"Why don't you take a look?" Da Biao said.

"What's there to see, it's still important to get down to business."

"What's the matter?"

Li Xiao still has a thousand dollars left in his hand, and he still has to buy some sugar. This is a plan to make money, but there is no need to tell Da Biao about them now, he didn't even say Yang Dayan and Dr. Zhao.

This plan is currently only known to Wan Niang.

"If you don't have anything to do, go to the grain store to help transport the grain home, and be careful to wander around and meet the people of Zhang Papi's family."

Li Xiao didn't forget the matter of pit the little overlord Zhang Chao last time, cucumbers were sold for five or six yuan a piece for someone else's family, and a twenty yuan for a piece sold to the little overlord's family, and he lied to them that there were only 100 pieces in total.

The people in Zhang's family are not easy to get along with, and they are probably angry at this time, and if they do, they will definitely have to make extraneous branches.

"I still have some things to do, so I'll go first, and I'll meet at the street corner when I'm done."

Li Xiao didn't take anyone else and went to the street alone.

Although Blue Creek Street is quite lively, there is only one shop selling sugar.

It's a pretty big shop, but it's called Rejuvenation Hall. Looking at the signboard, Li Xiao stood there stunned for a while.

This shop used to be one of the Li family's several properties in Lanxi.

This is also a century-old pharmacy in Lanxi, Lanxi Street is not small, but there is only one pharmacy. Not only selling medicines but also purchasing medicinal materials, and also sitting in the hall to diagnose diseases, the reputation in Lanxi has always been good.

The business of this old store has always been very good, especially the income is very good, after all, no one can do without birth, old age, sickness and death. As the old saying goes, there is a pharmacy at home, and thousands of acres of fertile land are not exchanged, which is exactly what it says.

But now this pharmacy is already in the name of the Zhang family.

Li Xiao hesitated, but still stepped on the steps.

"I'd rather let the medicine on the counter produce dust, but I hope that people in the world are free of disease."

Under the plaque of the Rejuvenation Hall, there are two lines of words at the door.

These two sentences are also a concept of the Li family's past operation of this pharmacy, the pharmacy is not for the purpose of making money, but mainly for saving people from the sick.

It is this signboard that I don't know how much good reputation it has won for the Li family.

Stepping into the store, Li Xiao turned his eyes around, but found that he had not seen any of the old men of the Li family in the Chinese medicine shop.

There is both some loss and some relief.

After those old people changed hands in the pharmacy, they either returned to their hometown in the countryside or found another job, and no one stayed to do things for Zhang.

"Is there frost sugar here?"

Li Xiao asked.

An old man behind the counter looked up, "Yes, six hundred wen a catty, the best frosted sugar, native to Jiaozhou, Lingnan, the best frosted sugar in Datang, frost like snow, sweet as honey." ”

"Chang'an is only five hundred yuan a catty, and your price is a lot more expensive." Li Xiaodao.

"Our frosting is the most authentic." The shopkeeper's reply.

"Yes, can you take a look?"

Buying candy and buying it at a pharmacy may seem a little strange, but it's actually quite normal. In recent years, many commodities are actually in pharmacies, such as sulfur, saltpeter, alkali stone, lime, etc., sugar, and some places are also available in pharmacies.

The shopkeeper called the man and asked him to fetch the frosting.

There are high, medium and low-grade cane sugar in the pharmacy, and the price is determined by color, and the whiter the more expensive. But the most expensive ones are not as white as frost and snow, just light white with yellow, and the cheapest ones are almost black.

But even the blackest ones, they are also called frosted sugar, and they sell for one hundred and ten cents a catty.

"Isn't there any whiter sugar? The best sand sugar in Datang is very white. ”

"This guest officer laughed, the high-grade frosting sugar we have here is the best, whiter, don't say we don't have it here, Chang'an doesn't have it, and the whole Datang doesn't have it."

"Oh, don't deceive me, the shopkeeper, I've seen whiter frosting candy, and even seen a large frosting candy that is as crystal clear as ice, known as rock candy."

"Rock candy?" The shopkeeper shook his head, "I've never heard of rock candy that is as crystal clear as ever." ”

"Yangzhou has, this is a new kind of frosted sugar this year, because the particles are large, and crystal clear, like ice, so it is known as rock sugar. This sugar is now popular in the south of the Yangtze River, and aristocratic families are vying to buy it, and they are proud to treat guests with rock candy. ”

The shopkeeper listened to what Li Xiao said, and he really believed it.

"That's probably expensive."

"Well, a pound of rock candy costs four or five yuan, and there is no market."

"I can't imagine that at the feet of the Son of Heaven in Guanzhong, it is not as good as the land south of the Yangtze River, not only there is no rock sugar, but there is not even a whiter frosting sugar, which is really disappointing."

The shopkeeper said, "If Jiangnan has it, then Chang'an will definitely have it soon, and the things of the world will gather in Chang'an, and there is nothing that Chang'an does not have." ”

"Well, what the shopkeeper said is reasonable, if you can seize the opportunity to grab the first batch of rock frosting, I believe you can make a lot of money." After speaking, Li Xiao turned around and left.

Originally, he did plan to come here to buy sugar, but seeing that the sugar was sold so expensive, especially after the store had become Zhang's family, he changed his mind.

What he said just now, he didn't say it nonsense, but did it on purpose.

After leaving the pharmacy, Li Xiao went directly to Lantian County. It's only forty miles away, and buying ten catties of sugar can be cheaper by at least 100 yuan, and it doesn't hurt to run.
