Chapter Forty-Eight: The price of tents has also increased

Sun Deqiu and Tang Gaoming shuttled through the crowd, constantly counting the specific number of tents needed, and then hurriedly walked to where Jia Nian was.

There was a loud shout in the sunset, and Gu Enze and the others carried the tent to the direction of the thatched hut.

Tents are placed on both sides, and there are no less than 12 tents as far as the eye can see, which is quite spectacular from the outside.

"Village Chief" Sun Deqiu came over and shouted to Jia Nian: "I just counted it, and 65 tents are needed."

"In other words, we still lack 50 tents," Jia Nian said subconsciously after hearing Sun Deqiu's reply.

Sun Deqiu nodded: "Well, there are still fifty missing"

"Deqiu, Gao Ming, you take these people to my house to carry three pieces of corn out" Jia Nian looked around at everyone and saw that they were all yellow and thin, so he asked Sun De for instructions.

One tuck of corn can feed an adult man for a month. If you boil the corn into thin porridge, you can feed two or three adult men for a month.

Now there are 220 people here, which means that it should be enough to move out of the three dendrobs to make porridge.

After all, one grain can feed thirty people for a day, and when it is converted into one meal, it is sixty people. In boiling gruel, more than a hundred people should be more than enough.

Tang Gaoming and Sun Deqiu showed puzzled eyes: "What are you doing when you move the grain out of Sanhu?" ”

"Boil porridge," Jia Nian said to them.

The two reacted instantly, and hurriedly looked up at the sky, seeing that the sun was about to set, so they didn't delay. Sun Deqiu waved at the crowd and said loudly to them: "A few of you guys, come with us to carry corn."

"There are two people here, go with me to get the iron pot," Tang Gaoming said to everyone.

Dozens of people came out, mostly young women.

Looking at the backs of those people, Jia Nian set his eyes on Zhao Ergou, and then motioned for him to take a few steps forward.

Zhao Ergou understood and walked forward with Jia Nian.

The two walked towards the Chaohu River embankment, and then stopped, looking around the endless Chaohu Lake water. Finally turning to look in the direction of Changhe Village, a smile appeared on the corner of Jia Nian's mouth.

Looking at the smile on the corner of Jia Nian's mouth, Zhao Ergou took the opportunity to sigh: "The current Changhe Village has a little village atmosphere"

"It's not easy for Village Chief Jia," Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian smiled at Zhao Ergou, and then his eyes fell on those elite water thieves: "Changhe Village is prosperous, and it is not as good as Guizhai"

Hearing this, Zhao Ergou did not reply, but showed a thick smile.

It seems that this village chief Jia is also a person who understands, knows the pros and cons of doing this, and also understands why Shuizhai has no fear. But that's fine, as long as he is honest as the God of Wealth, it will naturally be a happy situation.

"I remember that Guizhai seems to sell tents too," Jia Nian asked Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou replied without thinking: "Village Chief Jia has a good memory, we do sell tents in Baifan Water Village"

"I need fifty tops, can you get a discount of one or two" Jia Nian said to Zhao Ergou, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Zhao Ergou shook his head: "Actually, I also want to get a discount, but the big boss is strict, and I can't do anything."

"After all, tents are in demand," Zhao Ergou elongated his voice.

Jia Nian showed a suspicious look: "Tight substance? ”

"Village Chief Jia, please see" Zhao Ergou pointed in the direction of Changhe Village, pointing to a tent: "These fifteen tents in your village are actually produced by our Baifan Water Village. There are countless water thieves large and small in Chaohu Lake, and they must carry items to rob houses and houses, do you think this can not be in demand? ”

"You made all these tents?" Jia Nian was speechless for a moment, he suddenly found that he had underestimated the white sail thieves before, and he couldn't imagine that he would be so good at doing business.

Zhao Ergou said with a proud face: "Looking at the countless water thieves in Chaohu Lake, except for our water village, there is no second one that has the strength to make tents."

"Then give me fifty tops" Since this is an exclusive thing, Jia Nian didn't want to say anything more, so he directly said his needs to Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou's face smiled like a flower: "2,000 yuan per tent, that is, 20 taels"

"Fifty tents totaled 10,000 denarii, which was 100 taels of silver, and 1 gold of gold. May I ask Village Chief Jia, how do you plan to pay" Zhao Ergou asked Jia Nian.

Jia Nian subconsciously blurted out: "Isn't it 10 taels and one top?" It's only been a few days, and you're 20 taels."

"During this period of time, there was a large influx of refugees, and the business of the water thieves was booming, so the tents began to sell out," Zhao Ergou explained to Jia Nian: "In the end, the tents in our own inventory have bottomed out, so the big boss raised the price of the tents in a fit of anger."

"20 taels, this is too expensive" Jia Nian complained to Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou showed an embarrassed look: "The big boss asked me to sell 25 taels and one top, I see that in front of Village Chief Jia, I privately made the decision to lower 5 taels, and I have reached the bottom line and can't reduce the price."

"1 gold, I'll give you a gold" Jia Nian gritted his teeth and said, believing their nonsense is really a fool, obviously taking advantage of the fire to rob it.

is worthy of being the person who has mastered the savings of the Jia family for generations, this person is Hao.

The smile on Zhao Ergou's face became a little thicker, and he continued to say to Jia Nian: "The unit price is 20 taels and one top, we don't give it away."

"You mean I want to send someone to your water village to get a tent?" Jia Nian asked Zhao Ergou.

Zhao Ergou nodded: "There is no profit in the tent, so I can only trouble your village to send someone to run."

"Of course, if your village doesn't have time to leave, our water village also provides door-to-door delivery services," Zhao Ergou sold to Jia Nian.

Jia Nian resisted the urge to beat Zhao Ergou violently, and asked him: "How much does it cost?"

"Door-to-door delivery is divided into expedited and non-expedited, non-expedited ones need 1 gold, expedited ones need 2 gold, and you can also set up a tent for you for free" Zhao Ergou said to Jia Nian, as if he had seen countless glittering gold.

After a slight pause, he felt that he didn't understand the words, and continued to explain to Jia Nian: "If you don't expedite it, you will arrive tomorrow night at the earliest, and if you expedite it, you will arrive two hours at the latest, and you will guarantee that all your villages will live in tents in the first half of the night."

"Okay, I'll give you three gold, before the end of the first half of the night at the latest, I want to see fifty tents that have been set up" Jia Nian gritted his teeth and said, being held seven inches by others, he could only pay obediently.

Sooner or later, you water thieves will spit out the money with interest.

Stronger than others, Jia Nian only dared to think about it in his heart. To be honest, in the face of the powerful white sail water thieves, turning the other cheek is the most unwise choice, but it is the most cost-effective to take advantage of their momentum.
