While laughing, the atmosphere became relaxed.

Since Wang Dong began to explore how to make zuò "fritters", the cost he invested was not small. His own money and the money he borrowed from Liu Er were all spent in just three days. There's a lot of wasted food.

If such a "waste" is placed in ordinary people's homes, it is simply a crime. has always had a lot of money, but now there is only a lot left in the hands of the Zhang family.

"Thankfully, it worked." Wang Dong said to himself, "Otherwise, I will really have to pay to my grandmother's house." ”

"Wang Lang, why do you sigh?" The little lady heard Wang Dong muttering to herself, and asked curiously.

Wang Dong smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"Nothing? You kid, do you even want to deceive the old man? Jiugong stood on the side and stared down, and the momentum seemed to say, "You lie to me and try it."

Wang Dong said: "I'm lamenting two things. ”

"What?" Today, the money is making a lot of money, but Wang Dong sighed on the side, and the lady of the Zhang family and the ninth prince are naturally very curious.

Wang Dong said: "First, I sighed, although our business is doing well, but there are only three of us, after all, the strength is limited, if there are more people, it will be good." ”

"Hey, this matter is easy to do, what is the matter with my Dao," Jiu Gongdao, "There are not enough people, isn't it?" Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter. ”

"You're going to solve it?" Jiugong boasted about going to Haikou, and this time it was Wang Dong's turn and the Zhang family's wife to be surprised, but I didn't know what Jiugong could do, but seeing his confident appearance, the two of them didn't want to ask too much.

"Wang Lang, what about the other thing?"

Wang Dong said: "When the two of you were in the morning market, did you pay attention? ”

"Watch out for what?"

Wang Dong stood up, sighed, and said, "Keep an eye out for those who buy our breakfast. ”

"Not the same people as us? Could it be that they also gave birth to an extra eye? Jiugong was unimpressed.

Wang Dong shook his head: "No, during the morning market, although our business was good, if Jiugong paid attention, he would find that most of these people were neatly dressed, and it was obvious that they were not ordinary residents." ”

"What does that mean?" The little lady was even more puzzled.

Wang Dong sighed: "This shows that the price of our fritters is still expensive, and ordinary people can't afford to eat them at all." For example, those woodcutters, the money they get from chopping wood a day is only a mere three or four pennies, how can they be willing to use this money to buy our food to eat? ”

Wang Dong's words made the Zhang family lady and Jiugong Mao stop.

"I can't imagine that you kid has such insight at such a young age, it's rare, it's rare." Jiugong praised on the side.

Wang Dong smiled bitterly: "Ashamed, ashamed!" At the beginning, I thought that these fritters and bean curd could become food that everyone from the wealthy merchants to the ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty could afford, but now it seems that the price of the catastrophe has skyrocketed, far beyond my expectations. ”

Wang Dong's words made Jiugong and the Zhang family silent for a while. Indeed, they are happy to make so much money. But now, I feel sorry for those who can't afford to eat.

Jiugong sighed: "If it is a year of good weather and good weather, how can I not afford this little fritter and bean curd, how can I be an ordinary person in Datang who can't afford it?" It's just that in the past few years, disasters have continued, alas! ”

"Why don't we lower the price?" The little lady of the Zhang family mentioned yì said.

Wang Dong shook his head: "We reduce the price, although it is feasible, but the target does not cure the root cause." If you want fried dough sticks and bean curd to be promoted throughout the country and enter the homes of ordinary people in Datang, the vendors must be profitable to be successful. If it is unprofitable to significantly reduce profits, who wants to do this business? Could it be that it's just the three of us who can do it? Only fundamentally, reducing the purchase price of flour, oilseeds, and other materials is the fundamental method. ”

Wang Dongzhi is not getting rich by holding the method of making "fritters", but hopes that this food can be quickly promoted in Datang.

"Wang Lang is ambitious, the little lady is ashamed." The little lady of the Zhang family said with admiration.

Jiugong also looked at Wang Dong with an appreciative expression: "Don't focus on your own interests, look at the entire Tang Dynasty, so bold." ”

"The two of you praised it." Wang Dong said modestly, "Doing this can be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." ”

"I didn't think that Wang Lang, you were also a person who believed in Buddhism?" The Zhang family's eyes lit up, as if she saw like-minded people.

Wang Dong was stunned: "Believe in Buddhism? He vaguely remembered that the Tang Dynasty did seem to respect Buddhism. Regarding the words of the Zhang family's lady, Wang Dong did not deny it, nor did he admit it, but just smiled slightly. But in the eyes of the little lady, he acquiesced.

"Okay," Jiugong patted his thigh and looked at Wang Dongdao, "Promoting this food can be regarded as a good thing for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a great merit. ”

"What's the method?"

Jiugong looked at Wang Dong mysteriously and said, "Do you know where most of the rice grain in Jinyang City comes from?" ”

Seeing that Jiugong was so mysterious, Wang Dong couldn't help but be stunned: "What Jiugong said, is it Taiyuan Wangjia Rice Grain Store?" ”

Jiugong smiled and nodded: "I didn't expect your kid to be quite smart, yes, eighty percent of the rice and grain supply in Jinyang City is from the Wang family." ”

"What does the Nine Princes mean? Do you want me to talk to Sanniang and say that she will sell us flour and other things at a lower price? ”

"Besides, do you have any other ways to reduce costs?" Jiugong asked rhetorically.

Wang Dong shook his head, but said helplessly: "But, how could the dignified Wang family listen to the words of my little subordinate and lower the price?" He remembered that Sanniang had tried his best to control the selling price of the flour, and wanted a lower price, was this possible?

"This is not a matter of my heart," Jiu Gong stepped forward and patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, "You still need to plan carefully about this matter, but I can remind you of one thing." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Sanniang is not a real businessman."

"Not a real businessman?" Wang Dong was stunned, "What do you mean......"

"Haha, you can only understand the unspeakable, you can know it, you can know it, you can know it......" Jiugong laughed and got up, and then walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

Wang Dong and Jiugong's words, listening to the ears of the Zhang family's lady, were like playing dumb riddles, what "not a real businessman", what "you can know", she didn't understand at all.

At this moment, I saw Jiugong get up and leave, and couldn't help asking, "Jiugong, where are you going?" ”

"Get some help." The voice came, but there was no one to be seen.

It's hard to imagine that before yesterday, Jiugong was still a drunkard who was drunk and dreamed of death all day long. Now, as if he has changed a person, if he is familiar with him, he still thinks it will be his twin.

The lady of the Zhang family turned around, but found that Wang Dong was also in deep thought, as if ...... Only she has nothing to do.
