Chapter 65: After the First Report, There Will Be a Return (Third Update)
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan took pleasure in climbing the mountain, and Steward Zhang started a fierce negotiation with those businessmen, and in a room on the second floor of Shuiyunjian with the closest outside, a total of more than a dozen people sat down around this round table, and the wine and food on the table basically did not move much.
Steward Zhang first toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then began to point to the scenery outside and said: "Everyone, you are all rich people, Zhang's Zhuangzi can't compare to you, the hospitality is not good, please bear with me." ”
"Steward Zhang is polite, if other people from Zhuangzi say this to us, we will still believe it, but the people from the Zhuangzi of Zhang and Wang can't be like this, eh? Why did Steward Zhang come alone this time, it was so difficult that the Wang family didn't care? ”
The owner surnamed Lu asked with a smile at this time, and for a while he got a voice of approval.
Steward Zhang was not surprised at all, this situation had already been said by the little prince yesterday, and immediately followed: "The master of Wang Zhuang handed over this matter to the Zhang family to manage, and the two families are one, in order to prevent others from coming to provoke the relationship between the two families, therefore, the Wang family is no longer out, oh, I didn't say that you guys, they are all the ones surnamed Mi who are making trouble." ”
When the businessmen heard this, they didn't show anything on their faces, but they were still a little uncomfortable in their hearts, they really planned to do so, and deliberately gave more to the family at that time, and the money for the family was less, not to mention the two Zhuangzi, the brothers could still fight for this, but I didn't expect that people had already prepared.
"Naturally, we all believe in Steward Zhang, hey~! Speaking of the man surnamed Mi, I also hate it, the good deal was actually mixed up by him, otherwise, I would have bought the seeds back a long time ago, I don't know how much Steward Zhang knows about the dock in Xiaoluo Shuihe? That's the right place for us to transport food. ”
Wang Dongjia hurriedly played the circle, and at the same time looked at the scenery outside the window, this building is a somewhat circular structure, the middle is empty, and there are more places to see the scenery outside.
Because there has been no rain in the past few days, there is only some silt in the place dug out specifically for water storage, but he still praised: "If you want to say that this water and clouds are really good, from here, the sky outside is high and cloudy, waiting for a heavy rain, this water will also be there, the rain on Xiaoluoshui's side yesterday is not small, that is the place of Gejia Zhuangzi, right?" ”
"Brother Wang is right, it is Gejia Zhuangzi, I heard that the rice seedlings of Gejia Zhuangzi were damaged by the wind last year, and they were bought from Zhangjia Zhuangzi, no wonder the yield in that field is higher, some are lower, and the high one does not seem to be much different from Zhangjia Zhuangzi."
Jin Dongjia also spoke, and stood up and walked to the window to look over there, where the rice was almost cut.
The two of them said a few words in a row, thinking that they could make Steward Zhang tired of coping, but they didn't know that Steward Zhang didn't look anxious at all, so he first said to Wang Dongjia: "If Wang Dongjia wants to find a boat, he should go to Song Gongzi over there, and this matter is not under my stewardship." ”
"Why, isn't it Zhang's Zhuangzi over there? Or is there another housekeeper in the main family of the Zhang family? Oh, how did this Zhang family get it, and actually assigned the position of steward to outsiders? Wang Dongjia asked deliberately.
"Hehe, Wang Dongjia, the wharf at Xiaoluoshui is indeed not Zhang's Zhuangzi, the Zhang family and the Wang family are both farmers, how can they do that business? The seeds I said this time are also related to agriculture, otherwise I wouldn't have come, as for the arrangement of the main family, it is naturally the master who is in charge, and my family has been the housekeeper of the Zhang family for several generations, and I have long been familiar with it. ”
Steward Zhang also dealt with this matter, without revealing the slightest tone, which made Wang Dongjia feel depressed.
The other proprietor next to him immediately said what Jin Dongjia said just now, "Steward Zhang, I don't know what Fang Cai Jin Dongjia said is the truth?" I heard that this water cloud room was also opened by the sponsors of the three Zhuangzi, so why don't you bring the people of the Ge family together to discuss, how about it? ”
"It is indeed funded by three families, since you have taken a fancy to the things in the Ge family's fields, it is better for Zhang to go back and wait first, and you will talk to the people of the Ge family Zhuangzi first, the production in the field is really good, Zhang feels that there are even more Zhuangzi of the two Zhuangzi of Zhang Wang, here congratulations to you for finding a good seller."
If you don't buy enough, you can continue to find Zhang, because the rice in this field has been put for a long time and occupies a position, so next time maybe the price will increase slightly, the people of the Ge family are here, Zhang is afraid that he is not good to talk because of Zhang again, everyone, eat slowly, and the account will be calculated to the restaurant. ”
Steward Zhang doesn't eat this set at all, of course he knows that the seedlings that Ge Zhuangzi bought from here are not good, but they are definitely not as good as those from his own side, the little boy helped get the seedlings, but there is nothing on the ground, and the little boy's methods are not so easy to learn.
As he spoke, he stood up, smiled at the proprietors, and was about to go out.
The merchants were in a hurry, and they exchanged glances to each other, and the people sitting at the door immediately got up and stopped Steward Zhang with a smile.
"Steward Zhang can't leave like this, I'll take a closer look just now, compared to the rice of the Zhang and Wang families, the Ge family is still a little worse, and it can't be kept as seeds, eh? Steward Zhang, is this dish on the table a new dish? I haven't seen it anywhere else, don't you think? ”
This person said that he would not let Steward Zhang go, and pushed Steward Zhang back to the position just now, his eyes swept over the table, and found that there was a dish on it that had been eaten in the first place in Linshui, pretending not to know, and diverted what he had just said.
The people sitting here are all human spirits, and they began to praise the dishes one by one, and they no longer dare to play the small tricks of Fang Cai, people don't care at all, you threaten people, people will increase the price, and Fang Cai also said that it is going to rain, and the rice here will be finished, but it just happened that people said that they occupied the space.
"Oh, you may be eating it for the first time, this is actually the usual roasted tofu, but with some hot sauce sent from elsewhere, the taste is different, not so spicy, try it."
Steward Zhang changed the posture he was going to leave just now and began to talk about the dishes, anyway, everyone understands what's going on in their hearts, haven't you eaten it? Who doesn't try new dishes from Xiao Luoshui?
"Okay, delicious, remember it in the future, I will have to come a few more times, this tofu is made of soybeans, I don't know if the Zhang family has a place to grow beans? The output is not small, right? Are there any seeds? ”
Lu Dongjia ate a piece of tofu and began to ask about the seeds again.
Steward Zhang deliberately pushed the plate of tofu in front of this person, "It's delicious, you can eat more, let people make another one after eating, the soybeans are good, but they are not planted, I never thought that there will be more Lu Dongjia, next year, next year Zhangjia Zhuangzi must plant some." ”
"Oh, that's really a pity, I can only buy some rice seeds, I don't know how much money Zhang and Wang give a catty? It won't be what Song Gongzi said, one hundred and fifty wen a catty, right? That's all expensive with the surname Mi, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
Wang Dongjia followed along, just bringing the matter back to the seed.
"Naturally, it is not so expensive, but recently I have bought a lot of high-priced grain from other places, and there are many grain stores that have no grain to buy, so we can know that this year's output is low, and the grain family will be higher.
You are all in the grain line, don't tell me that there is a lot of food, when I bought it, I asked in your store, it is indeed not, it is said that there is a shortage in the capital, then it will be reduced to 20 Wen, 130 Wen a catty, you can rest assured, the seeds of Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi will not be as out of stock as your grain store. ”
Steward Zhang smiled and looked at the faces of these owners, and said meaningfully.
Everyone's faces changed slightly, and they laughed, but they were thinking about the gains and losses in their hearts, one hundred and thirty wen, it is a lot more expensive than the one hundred wen that should be made, and it just said that the food cut off was not deliberate, and it had nothing to do with himself and others, in this case, of course, there is a shortage of food, and the price of grain should also rise, how can the seeds not rise?
"Hehe, what Steward Zhang said is yes, a few days ago, we did not come up with food, but someone came to report last night, saying that the grain from outside came in, and there was a lot of it, and the price was cheap." One of the proprietors laughed dryly and explained.
"Really? What a coincidence, cheaper? How much cheaper? That kind of child also has to reduce the price according to this, right, don't you say? Steward Zhang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he thought of the matter that the little lady had added, and this was the case.
"Really, it's such a coincidence, how much cheaper? At the beginning, you bought the surname rice for a bucket of twenty-nine Wen, and our one is cheap, and one bucket is only nine ...... No, it's Bawen, it's not rice, it's wheat, and rice is cheap, eleven wen a bucket. ”
Lu Dongjia opened his mouth again to take the conversation, deliberately lowering his grain price.
"What about millet? Are you all like that? Steward Zhang asked in disbelief.
"Millet six Wen and one bucket, all of them, aren't they?" The price set by Lu Dongjia is the price they charged, it may have been cheaper in the past, but this year there is a drought and locust plague, so it is more expensive, and it is definitely not this money if you really sell it.
Everyone nodded at the same time, and a Jin Dongjia asked, "Since Steward Zhang knows the price, I don't know how much the seed can be reduced?" ”
"How much? It must be more down, so it is, since you have food, then I will buy some first, the same first buy 10,000 stones, take the waterway, the freight is naturally from you, and the same is true for the seeds of Zhang Wang's two families, the freight is paid by us, man, go, find the guarantor of the tooth, as well as the lord of my family and the lord of the Wang family, just say that you can buy cheap grain. ”
Steward Zhang said happily, looking happy to cooperate, and the guy turned around and ran, as if he had disappeared in just one breath.
The owners turned their heads to look at the place where they had disappeared, dumbfounded.
