Chapter Ninety-One: Salted Dried Fish

Jiang Hexing and two soldiers walked to the store, which was very deep, and there was a tall black counter at the door, on which a scale was placed. There was a man standing behind www.biquge.info counter, looking about 40 years old, dressed in a black linen robe, also with short hair and a long beard. The beard is not black and white, but some yellowish. Jiang Hexing walked in from the counter, and he also followed: "Guest officer, please look at it casually, they are all fresh and fresh fish that have just arrived." ”

Jiang Hexing followed his fingers and looked over, the shop was very deep, there were many large tanks on both sides, and the tanks were filled with clear water, and he kept seeing the big fish jumping up from the tank, but after all, they didn't jump out of the tank, but they fell back into the tank one by one. In the middle is a small road, the top is wet, the river line is walking, while looking at the water tanks on both sides, the fish are very large, at least more than 5 catties, and the stirring is particularly powerful.

Jiang Hexing went further and found that he was actually out of the store, in front of which was a big river, and on this side of the river was actually a wharf, and many boats docked here.

Jiang Hexing only woke up when he saw the big river, this is the big river in Jilin City, obviously this fish market is built by the river. Fish is sold in the front, and the back of the store is connected to the river and the wharf, so new fish are constantly being brought into the store.

Jiang Hexing turned his head and said to the boss next to him: "It turns out that you are connected to the big river here, no wonder there are so many fresh live fish." ”

The boss smiled and said, "The guest officer is a foreigner, our fish market is known to everyone in Jilin City, and fresh live fish are bought here." Guest, I don't think you look like a person who buys live fish, how about looking at our dried fish and salted fish? ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "Okay, just take a look." ”

Jiang Hexing and his party followed the boss out of the store directly, crossed the road, and came to the opposite store, the signboard was also Zhao's fish shop, and the guy at the door saw that the boss brought people over, and he didn't speak, and watched Jiang Hexing and his party enter the store.

This shop is also very deep, and the fishy smell is not as strong as just now, and Jiang Hexing looked up to see that there were all kinds of dried fish and salted fish hanging on the wall. Jiang Hexing didn't understand this very well, so he turned his head and asked, "Boss Zhao, what's the difference between this dried fish and salted fish?" ”

Boss Zhao stuck to his yellow beard and said, "Is the fish dry?" It's all cooked and can be eaten directly, you see the ones on the south wall, piece by piece. I make all the salted fish, and you can see that the ones on the back wall are all raw. ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and said, "Pay attention everywhere and be knowledgeable." ”

Jiang Hexing walked around the store for a while, but didn't ask what the price was. The boss didn't speak, just walked around the store with Jiang Hexing.

After a while, the boss said, "Guest officer, how about sitting down and resting for a while?" ”

Jiang Hexing nodded.

Boss Zhao pulled Jiang He to the back of the counter, there was a black square table, and a circle of black chairs next to it. Boss Zhao pulled Jiang Hexing to sit down, he nodded at the estimate at the door, and after a while, a few teacups were brought over, and the hot water inside was steaming.

Jiang Hexing said: "Boss Zhao, it's a good way to do business." ”

Boss Zhao waved his hand and said, "Where is it, I've been very idle lately, and no one has spoken." ”

The two laughed.

Jiang Hexing asked, "But isn't business good?" ”

Boss Zhao picked up the teacup, blew a breath, put the teacup on the table and said, "Isn't it spring ploughing now, they are all busy with spring ploughing, and no one comes to buy it." Look at the people on this street, hehe. ”

"Oh, is business like this?"

"It's not that it's much better than this in the busy farming season, whether it's live fish or dried fish here, it may be the most sold in our Jilin City, and the salted fish is estimated to be about the same, but it's not mainly sold here. You want to have live fish, who eats so much salted fish? ”

Jiang Hexing nodded and asked curiously: "Boss Zhao, I see that you seem to have a lot of salted fish here, you don't eat it locally, and there seems to be no shortage of fresh fish to eat in all parts of Pingzhou, where do you sell this salted fish?" ”

Boss Zhao looked at Jiang Hexing with a smile on his yellow beard and said, "Guest officer, I see that you are not an official, nor a farmer, not a businessman, or a scholar. People who read books don't seem to be as curious about fish as you are, so I want to give the guest officer a way to make a fortune, are you interested? ”

Jiang Hexing was very curious and asked, "Boss Zhao, how do you know that I am a businessman?" ”

Boss Zhao said: "On the occasion of spring ploughing, farmers are busy, and officials must not stop, and those who are idle are businessmen and scholars. But you're not, a scholar, there's someone who comes to the fish market, right? Besides, judging by what you're wearing, it doesn't seem like most people can compare, so I'll assume you're a businessman and come to see what opportunities you have to make a fortune, right? ”

Jiang Hexing said with a smile: "Then Boss Zhao tell me, where is the way to make a fortune?" ”

Boss Zhao pointed to the salted fish and said, "It's on this salted fish." I'll tell you, if you pull a wagon to Xindi, I promise that you can pull back at least two carts of copper coins when you go to a cart of salted fish, and then I'm afraid that you won't be able to pull it all out of money. ”

Saying this, Boss Zhao seemed to see himself pulling the copper coin and hurrying back, with a happy smile on his face.

Jiang Hexing and the two pro-soldiers both took a breath, opened their mouths wide, and asked in surprise: "Salted fish can make so much money?" ”

Boss Zhao looked at Jiang Hexing mysteriously, and said in a low voice: "This mystery is not difficult, you can understand it if you think about it, let me say a little, the key to this salted fish is not the fish, but its saltiness, can you understand?" ”

Jiang Hexing suddenly realized, gently knocked on the table and said, "Does Boss Zhao mean salt?" ”

Boss Zhao shook his head and said with a serious face: "I am not allowed to sell salt to Han in Pingzhou, and I won't let you do it, I only sell salted fish." ”

Jiang Hexing finally found out that there was a loophole, and he was still very clever, he couldn't help but let people sell salted fish. According to the laws of Pingzhou, there is nothing illegal.

Jiang Hexing looked at Boss Zhao, raised his thumb and gestured at Boss Zhao and said, "Boss Zhao, master, admire." But I don't think the salted fish in your store is enough for a wagon? ”

Boss Zhao shook his head and said, "Guest officer, you also underestimate our store, do you know where my store leads?" ”

Jiang Hexing also shook his head.

Boss Zhao pointed to the black door at the back of the store and said: "The back is more than a hundred times bigger than here, it is the place where I make salted fish, don't say a car, you are a hundred cars to pull away, what is the difficulty for me." ”

Jiang Hexing doesn't know if he really has so much inventory, or if he is boasting and saying big things to show his strength, listening to his tone, the strength is not small.

Jiang Hexing asked, "Then Boss Zhao, how are the shipments lately?" ”

Boss Zhao was also sincere, sighed, and said: "Now they are all busy with spring ploughing, and the salted fish warehouses behind our street are almost full, not only me, but also other families." ”

Boss Zhao looked at Jiang Hexing and said in a low voice: "Guest officer, in fact, now is a great opportunity to make a lot of money, and this opportunity is not easy to find." Think about it, how cheap this salted fish is now, and everyone will know this way in the future, do you still have a chance? ”

Jiang Hexing saw that Boss Zhao was very sincere, and he didn't want him to waste more scheming, so he proposed to go to other stores to have a look. Boss Zhao saw that Jiang Hexing didn't ask the price, so he had to say: "My name is Zhao Qiao, I hope you can remember this guest officer." You can see here, I put my words here, I give a price that no one has, as long as others are cheaper than me, I am even cheaper than others. ”

Jiang Hexing said goodbye to this Boss Zhao with a smile and a smile, along the main road, looking at the past, it was basically the same, but the varieties of some domestic fish were a little different, basically the shops by the river in the east did live fish business, and the shops in the west made salted fish and dried fish. All claim to have huge processing plants, as many as they want.

Jiang Hexing left the fish market with his own soldiers, returned to the main road, found the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time, drove the carriage, and headed towards the big river to the east. A stone bridge had already been built over the river, and Jiang Hexing waited for the carriage to cross the stone bridge until the office of Jilin City.
