"Alright, alright, don't embarrass the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper did not miscalculate, nor did he covet money. These five taels of silver are the profits of our 'Tongxiang Building' today. ”

Qin Yong naturally knew in his heart that this newly invited shopkeeper had no unclean hands at all. So, that's the time to say.

In fact, the five taels of silver, at first glance, it seems to be quite small. However, you have to see who it is compared with, if it is an ordinary teahouse or inn, its profit is really not small.

Because, ordinary teahouses and inns, the profit at the end of the day is only this number at most. Moreover, this is still when they count the accommodation income, otherwise, it would be very good to have an income of two or three taels of silver a day.

It turns out that the price level of ordinary teahouses and inns in this era is not very high. Because, in this era, one or two pieces of silver is basically equivalent to two thousand yuan in later generations, so the profit of ordinary teahouses and inns can basically reach several thousand yuan a day, and it is two or three hundred thousand yuan a month. That's a lot.

Of course, this is just an ordinary teahouse and inn. The profits of more high-end teahouses and inns are of course a little higher. It's just that there are relatively few such teahouses and inns.

"Oh."

After Qin Yong's explanation, a few little girls in qinqi, calligraphy and painting suddenly understood. It turned out that his expectations were too high, so this caused such a misunderstanding. In fact, an ordinary shop like this can have an income of nearly two thousand taels of silver in a year, which is not bad in Bianliang City. You know, in Bianliang City, most of the shops pù. The turnover of a year is estimated to be no such figure. And their annual profits, if there are two or three hundred taels, can basically be supported. It can even make their behind-the-scenes owners live a more comfortable and stable life.

After a few days of stinking, the strong sour smell slowly eased near the "copper smelly building". However, at this time, the topic caused by the "copper stinky building" is even greater. Because, although this strong sour smell is slowly lightened near the "copper smelly building", but. But at the same time, it spread all over the city.

It turned out that at this time, the "copper smelly building" started an unexpected business, that is, "wholesale".

Of course, the word "wholesale" was "invented" by Qin Yong. However, in this era, there are countless such businesses, but they are not called this name. Qin Yong's "innovation" is. It's just a complete concept. Moreover, it is still on such a topical product as "stinky tofu". So, in the next few days, such a conversation was circulating everywhere in Bianliang City:

"Hey. Did you go to the copper smelly building wholesale today? ”

"Approved! However, I only have one person, and I only get ten catties. The quantity was so small that it was sold out in less than two strokes. ”

"Who's to say it isn't! Alas. I don't know how many pounds I can grab tomorrow. ”

The word "wholesale" has come out from being created to being popular throughout Bianliang City. It was only a few days. The most important reason for this is that after selling "stinky tofu" at the door for five days, they went directly to the door to do business. That's not all, the price of "stinky tofu" has doubled sharply. However, they also proposed that if they didn't need to fry it, the price could be maintained at the original ten cents a piece. Moreover, it is a large supply of goods, and one person can buy up to ten catties a day!

The amount of ten catties really scared those ordinary guests at first. Because, if this is only for one person, how long will it take?

However, it didn't take long for many people to react. Who said that if a person buys ten catties, he must eat it alone? If you can't eat it, you can't sell it to others?

What's more, many wealthy businessmen and nobles don't have a demand for a few catties or a dozen catties?

Therefore, the amount of ten catties is really not much. Even, there are some clever small traders and hawkers who quickly seize such a business opportunity. That is, from the "copper stinky building" is wholesaled to those "stinky tofu" that have not been fried, and then find an iron pot and set it up on the street casually It is a simple stall. In this way, they can even sell it for 112 cents a piece. Because, after all, many people don't bother to do it themselves. Or, if you can buy it on the street, even if it is a penny or two more expensive, they don't care.

Most of these people are Confucian students, and then they are ordinary small rich families. However, one consequence of this incident in the end is that the sour smell of "stinky tofu" was limited to one place. But now that the small merchants and vendors have come out to do this business, the result is that the whole Bianliang City is filled with this smell.

Of course, although the "copper smelly building" is currently mainly facing large wholesalers. But in fact, they have not lost the general retail business. It's just that their ordinary retail business is "high-end".

Because, their price has risen to 20 yuan a piece. Refreshments are also available. Because, at present, the number of people who enter the "copper stinky building" to eat "stinky tofu" has gradually decreased.

After all, it's twice as expensive. At the same time, there is not much difference in taste.

The only difference is probably in the condiments. After all, the "stinky tofu" of the street vendors is only sold for 11 or 2 cents a piece, so in terms of condiments, it is naturally much less than the "copper stinky building". At the same time, they are unlikely to provide any seat service, they just take it and leave.

However, ordinary people don't care about this, and the main reason is not because of the price difference that doubles? At the same time, there are also some people who are more refined, so they choose to stay in the "copper smelly building" to consume. These were all Qin Yong's original plans, and so far, they have basically been realized. (To be continued......)
