The vegetable sellers glared one by one, Song Jiu was not stupid and would not agree, he had to pay more, but how much was it worth the price of the dish?

Just when they were hesitating, someone came over again, and the major stores in the capital were in charge.

There is a reason why Song Jiu excluded the eldest sister from the management scope of the main store, such as Chinese dishes, the main store has to be selected repeatedly, and it can only be asked if it is tightly packaged, and it will not be asked if it is not tightly packaged. After picking in this way, you have to look at the condition, and after reading it, all the leaves are selected together, and then you use the choy sum to cook. Where is the eldest sister willing to be, in order to ask for cheap vegetables, only pick the remaining vegetables when she buys, and even the yellow leaves and old edges have to choose the leaves and keep the leaf stems.

This kind of consumption point of view does not allow you to run a store.

The main store is extremely picky about the ingredients, and they came one by one, but they actually paid attention to it very early, can this vegetable be missing them? Now that the steward is here, first of all, we have to look at it, it is not good to be strange, and we must also have quality. After looking at them carefully, a steward stroked them affectionately: "Good thing." ”

Growing in a greenhouse, the humidity and temperature keep up, and the soil is soft, Song Jiu said that the yield will increase, not to mention the increase, it will increase by more than six or seven times. Therefore, these celery grows vigorously, all of them are green and pleasant, with enough moisture, and they must be crisp and tender. However, the nutritional value is very doubtful, but who can judge how much nutritional value there is at this time?

The shopkeeper stood up and looked at this group of vegetable sellers, indeed he was a tiger, these little vegetable sellers were sheep, and turned his head to Song Jiu and said, "Jiulang, how is it sold?" ”

"I'm just negotiating this price with everyone, and it's not easy to set the price."

A few stewards ran to the side, but in fact, for them, the price was secondary. This fine vegetable is not out of season, but also a gimmick. If you are not afraid of being expensive, you are afraid of being bad. One stood up and asked, "How much is this pile?" ”

"Standard half-stone."

"Everyone is embarrassed. Jiulang, we set a price for you, a pile of thirty yuan. ”

"Thirty dollars," although the eldest sister was mentally prepared, she was still stunned by thunder, how much does this catty cost, no wonder the younger brother said that his store can't afford to sell the price, a pot of fried celery comes up, and the money is always a pot, who eats it!

"Thirty dollars is too expensive. It's still twenty-five yuan, and you have two heaps of money, and the rest of the vendors will get a cent. Song Jiudao. One point in the main store, even fewer left, dozens of vegetable sellers only divided a dozen piles, a dozen catties per person, not a little money, one by one as a treasure to take home.

The next day, celery began to appear in the market, and the price was chaotic. There are 1,000 wen per catty, 800 wen per catty, and some people shout 1,500 wen per catty. There is no most expensive, only more expensive. That's the price. actually sold fast, the sun just came out, and my brother only became a legend. Someone wants to buy it but can't see it.

The ministers also ate celery, and Song Jiu sent a lot. But there are more ministers, and there are clans. Commanders, some of the fathers of the Lords. A household has less than two catties, and there are not dozens of yamen who take much.

Mrs. Liu Wensuo mixed a plate, fried a plate, and deliberately bought a jar of good wine, and a good dish must be accompanied by good wine to be decent. Liu Wensu asked: "Lady, how much is it sold on the market?" ”

"Official, the concubine was late in buying vegetables in the morning, and she couldn't see it, but she only heard rumors, first it was sold for 800 wen and 1,000 wen a catty, and then it rose to 1,500 wen, but it was quickly snatched away. Half of them entered the restaurant, and very few of the real people could buy it. ”

"Fifteen hundred, these two dishes are equivalent to a cow, how can the old man swallow it?"

"Official, you can eat it, this thing is rare, and if there are more people who plant it in a few years, it will no longer be expensive."

Liu Wensuo knew that the Tao was this reason, and Song Jiu also deliberately explained that day, if you lead to the right road, it will feed many people, of course, if you lead to the evil road, the consequences will be serious. Now that Song Jiu intends to lead to the right path, he has nothing to say. I'm just upright, and I'm not unreasonable.

But eating two pots of celery worth three dollars made his flesh ache.

After taking a bite, I couldn't help but say, "This dish tastes different." ”

"The concubine tastes it, it's different, so tender. It's just too expensive, in another two years, when it's cheaper, it will cost dozens of dollars a pound, and it doesn't matter if you eat it once in a while. ”

"After two years, Song Jiu will not plant it, and all of it will be planted by the people, and they may not have this good taste if they don't plant it through Song Jiu's hands."

"This baby is elusive, and she also has some skills."

"Alas, I don't know if he has the ability to do it, I don't understand it, let's eat it, it's edible anyway."

Not only does it taste good, but it also has a psychological effect, and if you eat such an expensive vegetable, it will be delicious even if it is not delicious.

As a result, in the early morning of the next day, Liu Wensuo heard that all the ministers were talking about this celery, and some of them were good at picking up good words, what was fragrant, what was sweet and pleasant, so they almost came to write an article to praise it.

There were many people who went over to watch curiously, and Boss Hu was also anxious, this dish was expensive to buy, and he was afraid that people would steal it, so he hurriedly organized more than a dozen villagers to hold machetes and bow and arrows on their backs, and patrol day and night, not even a dog let it in. Therefore the people could not see what they wanted to see.

The second batch of vegetables came up, and not only all the people from the main store were present, but also some people from the big restaurants were also present. There are fewer to the vegetable sellers, or Song Jiu forcibly evened it out, otherwise it would not be enough to just have a store and a restaurant. Four or five hundred catties are evenly distributed at a time. Where is this enough, a capital includes soldiers, a large number of foreign population and merchants, there are nearly one million people, and the consumption of vegetables is close to one million catties a day. Hundreds of catties of vegetables are thrown down, and you can't even see the shadow. There is actually a sky-high price of two dollars and a catty, but the people want to find it, and my brother is still a legend.

You can eat it at major restaurants and restaurants. However, it is not always the same money, as various vegetable dishes come up one after another, a small plate of candied cucumber with ginseng sauce can be sold for 50 yuan, a pot of bear's paw roasted eggplant can be sold for 80 yuan, and a pot of bird's nest gourd soup can be sold for 90 yuan...... And these extraordinarily expensive dishes have to be served in limited editions.

Song Jiuxin is really not black, cucumbers are sold regardless of catties, on the root sales, the big one is only 400 Wen, the medium one is only 300 Wen, the gourd and gourd, the gourd is almost the same, only the leeks can't be helped, the winter melon is too big, there is no way, it must be calculated by the catty. There are still winter melons, some people will store them, and some winter melons are not rotten. But it's not a new flavor, and the price will drop a little bit. However, with one or two snowfalls. Winter melon has also become a sky-high price.

The price in Song Jiu's hands is still acceptable, but it is unacceptable when he arrives at the vegetable market. With a goose feather snow falling. There was once an incredible price at which a cucumber was sold for two cents and a gourd was sold for four cents. Don't shout expensive, you won't be able to see it in a little night.

As soon as the vegetable garden was opened, countless vegetable sellers rushed over, wanting to divide a few catties, even if it was ten catties, it would make a small fortune. The most surprising thing is that out-of-season vegetables sell very expensive, but it is always a legend. At this time, it is late in the morning, but most people get up early and go to bed early, so the vegetable market opens early. Every time, hundreds of catties of vegetables flow out of the vegetable garden and are scattered in various cities, but most of the people who get up first are people in restaurants. So when the people came to buy vegetables at dawn, they could not see it. Many people have only heard people talking about it, but they have never seen it in its form.

……

The snow was falling, and the capital became quiet.

The Song family is still very lively, there are more than 40 people eating alone, and it is impossible to be lively if you want to, looking at the gobbling students, Dr. Zhang looked at the garlic with cucumber and fried eggplant in sauce on the table. said: "You only paid twenty yuan, how can you swallow it?" ”

Can't settle accounts, if you sell them at market price, it's just these two dishes. More than 30 yuan is gone, which is equivalent to more than two months of his salary.

Speaking from the heart, the student had to put down his chopsticks. Cui'er said, "Dr. Zhang, you're wrong. They also paid 20 cents, but you didn't pay a penny. ”

Zhu San's little lady, who also came to eat, lowered her head and giggled.

Zhu San raised his head and asked curiously, "Jiulang." How much money did you make with this vegetable? ”

"How much money is there, I'll calculate an account for you, the yamen came to ask for a little, and the relationship is usually good, so I have to give it. This is different from bread, which is given to the emperor and ministers. Mainly now it is in demand, and if you get up late, you can't buy it with money. Ministers can go to the main store to eat at a high price, where can their wives and concubines eat? If I can't eat and complain, when the pillow wind blows, I will be cold. ”

Everyone laughed together.

This is the truth, in the Song Dynasty, women still had some status, and even some ministers were still strict wives. Song Jiu said again: "This gift can't be sent less, the same 1,000 catties, plus the ya, the usual relatives and friends, more than 10,000 catties will be removed." ”

"That's a lot of money," the seventh sister said bitterly.

"Money is earned and spent, but many people don't understand how to spend it, and some people think that spending is eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, which is the wrong way to spend. Think about how much silk His Majesty has given me, if there is no money and silk given by His Majesty, can all this be done? And vegetables are so expensive for these small merchants to sell, if I don't give them a little, they will be impeached one by one, can I afford it? ”

"The hearts of the peddlers are too dark."

"Seventh sister, you can't blame the hawkers, my family produces, the output is too small, the store comes to rob, the restaurant comes to rob, only a little bit, a hawker can only get a dozen catties, or even only a few catties, from the morning, standing in the cold wind until the afternoon to open the shed, can they not sell expensive? In the future, this will not be the case. ”

"Alas, Song Jiu, you are the first vegetable in the ages, and it is also the first price in the ages, my mother-in-law actually saw the price of a cucumber and a cow for three dollars."

"Dr. Yan, you don't understand, it's a good thing. It turned out that the most developed areas in China were Southern Tang, Bashu and Wuyue. The people of the Central Plains are the most bitter, but since Zhou Taizu began to focus on internal governance, Bianjing has become better and better year by year. In the past few years, Bianjing has not been able to catch up with Jinling, Hongzhou, Yizhou and Hangzhou, and in recent years, it has been faintly overtaking. It is precisely because the country is gradually stable, coupled with the good geographical location of the capital, the business is developed, and there are more rich people. Otherwise, it can be sold for such a high price? There is another better thing, like my fundraising, I have to do it step by step to show them, if I don't do it, will the yamen believe it? If the greenhouse vegetables are used well, they can feed many people. But if I have the heart to promote, who will believe it? It's expensive, so I don't need to shout next year, and there are many vegetable farmers to learn. ”

"You can't make money selling glass yet."

"Liuli can make money first, but the profits are mainly placed in Hezhou, otherwise the yamen will not be convinced. When the river is ripe, it will gradually be released. You don't understand my good intentions. Song Jiu said bitterly. In fact, he was smiling secretly in his stomach, he didn't need to understand anything, as long as he was one step ahead of everything, he was a mountain of money! And because I let it go, I did it very beautifully.

"Jiurou, are you really so kind?" Zhu San asked.

"Tell me, is my heart good?" Song Jiu asked the students.

"Mr. Zhu's words are wrong, Mr. Nine is a good gentleman," the student said loudly. If nothing else, I can't say anything about this twenty-dollar dinner.

Dr. Yan and Dr. Zhang took advantage of a little bit, because Dewang was old, and the students did not dare to speak up, and Zhu San wanted to take advantage of it, but his wife said that he would not win. (To be continued......)
