Chapter Forty-Six: The Afterhand

Six thousand one hundred and twenty coins, that is, six thousand one hundred and twenty five baht, twenty-four baht is one tael, and one tael in the Sui period is equivalent to forty-one grams in later generations.

In this way, the money in the cabinet should weigh nearly more than 100 pounds.

"It's too inconvenient." Qian Duo is also distressed, Chen Ping thought in his heart, he really can't get it back by himself, "Is my cousin's leg okay?" ”

If Chen Yuanliang's leg is good, he can go back to Baitu Village together, and as soon as the money is put in the long ox cart, he will be more stable when he is accompanied by someone.

"How can it be so fast, he is here with an injury, a temporary helper, and I haven't seen anyone else in the county government so diligent." Chen Xiaozhong put away the key and said, "Put the key here with me first, find someone to bring a message home, and let your grandfather come over tomorrow." ”

"Uncle, can't you send me?" Didn't you just say that you would send yourself back, how could you bring a message to your family with a few words, Chen Ping was a little speechless.

"How can I have that kung fu, didn't you come with a fire sickle? You have to put it on the counter quickly, so that no one can steal the business. Chen Xiaozhong lifted the cloth bag on the ground and opened his mouth, and it was indeed a fire sickle inside, the same as last time, and it was estimated that there were more than 100 of them, "It's too little, it's better to find a blacksmith in this county." ”

"It's really convenient to find a blacksmith in this county, but you also need to pay for it. Now I only need to give Uncle Blacksmith a layer of money, and Uncle Blacksmith is from the same village after all, and he is close to me, how can outsiders be so reliable. Chen Ping took out an axe-shaped piece of iron from his pocket, "Uncle, take a look at this first." ”

This axe-shaped piece of iron Chen Ping brought is ready to be pre-sold before the product upgrade. Not only that, but there are also transformed fire folds in Chen Ping's pocket, all of which are prepared to cope with the saturation of the market.

But the current situation seems that there is still some time for the market to reach saturation, so these two things do not need to be put out for the time being.

"This ......" Chen Xiaozhong took the iron piece handed over by Chen Ping, this iron block is smaller in shape, and the weight has become much lighter, one side is rounded, one side is square, the index finger is used as a pad, and the thumb is pressed, just right, "This is much better than the previous one, and I plan to sell it now?" ”

"Definitely not, wait a little longer." Chen Ping took out the fire fold again and gave it to Chen Xiaozhong, "Uncle, take a look at this again." ”

One after another, Chen Xiaozhong was not in a hurry to pick up the fire fold, but looked into Chen Ping's pocket: "How many things do you put in that pocket?" ”

"Just these two things and nothing else." Chen Pingdao.

Chen Xiaozhong took the fire fold, and this time, he could feel the weight, and it was a little more lenient than the previous fire fold. From both ends, you can see the compacted filling inside.

"Is this mugwort?" Chen Xiaozhong picked out a trace with his fingernails, pinched it, put it under his nose and sniffed it, "What's the use of this?" ”

"Uncle, you can try it today, and you will know what it is used for." Although the open flame is not as good as the fire fold directly rolled into jute paper, the time is more than three times that of the ordinary yellow paper when it is preserved by the yin fire.

That's the value.

"These two things can't be put in the light right now." Although he has not yet tried the fire excerpt, Chen Xiaozhong sees the value of these two things, "At least it will take a while." ”

"That's what I thought, too." Chen Ping smiled a little gloomy, "Walking in the winding alleys of the side streets, when you see people hanging fire sickles, it is best to make another shot at this thing." ”

Patents cannot be applied for, there is no patent protection, and even the argument that patents do not exist, does not mean that Chen Ping has no way to deal with businessmen who plagiarize his intellectual property.

"Why wait until then?" Although Chen Xiaozhong can operate, it is only reflected in his eloquence, and he does not have a deep understanding of business strategies.

"Uncle, do you think that when you walk on the side street and you can see people hanging this fire sickle, does that mean that this fire sickle is quite common?" Chen Xiaozhong nodded, he could figure this out, Chen Ping saw this, and continued, "Since it is so common, does that mean that the amount of this fire sickle is large?" ”

"That's right."

"That's right, some merchants, in fact, are not just merchants, at least people with this ability, seeing that the fire sickle is so popular, it will definitely be produced in large quantities. But there will definitely be a degree in this market, just like the cash cabinet, the space is so big, and you can only put so much money. Chen Ping paused, and saw that the uncle didn't understand very well, so he made an analogy, "If the uncle has a million dollars in his hand, can he put it all in that cabinet?" ”

"Of course you can't put it down." Chen Xiaozhong shook his head, "I don't have that much money." ”

"That's it, the extra money will be backlogged in the hands of the uncle. This fire sickle is also average, and when the county, or even the neighboring states and counties, can no longer eat these fire sickles, the market will reach a saturated state, and even if they have more fire sickles in their hands, it will be useless. Chen Ping glanced at the object in Chen Xiaozhong's hand and smiled a little gloomy, "Then we will put this out again, and let the fire sickle in their hands rot in the warehouse, how good." ”

Chen Xiaozhong is reminiscing, there are too many words in Chen Ping's words that he can't understand, such as the market, saturation, and best-selling, etc., and he needs time to taste and ponder it...... It doesn't necessarily understand.

"You mean to keep a back hand?" After pondering for a long time, Chen Xiaozhong felt that Chen Ping should think like this.

"Yes, that's right." is indeed a backhand, and only in this way will Chen Ping get the maximum benefits, and it will not be so easy to arouse people's disgust.

Chen Xiaozhong looked at this nephew, and felt more and more that what Yuan Liang said was right, the eldest son of the second brother's family was indeed going to be born.

"That's fine, just do what you want." Although Chen Xiaozhong still can't fully understand, his trust in his nephew has reached a higher level.

The uncle and nephew chatted in the room for another quarter of an hour, and when lunch was served, Chen Yuanliang did not come back.

After lunch, Chen Ping took some money from the cabinet and went out of the grocery store to buy items at the county store.

You have to bring cheese, but you don't have to rush to buy it first, the cheese shop is not far from Nanqu, so you can wait for other items to be purchased before you stop by the way.

Flour is wanted, Chen Ping went to the noodle shop on Hengjie to buy some, with flour, of course, this pork meat is also indispensable, and went to the meat shop to weigh some pork.

Then I turned around a few alleys, and went to the vegetable shop to buy some lotus roots, which were still powdered, and then brought some white water.

"It should be enough." There are meat and vegetables, and if you want to take Chen Ping, you can't lift it, so when you come out of the vegetable shop, you will return along the same road.

He carried flour on his shoulders, pork meat in his right hand, and hemp rope in his left hand, on which lotus root was tied, and in his pocket was white water. Chen Ping left the county and city and walked along the north and south side streets.

After only a few steps, Chen Ping stopped in front of a shoe store and fixed his eyes on a fur shoe.
