I heard Yuan Jiarong say, "When my sister digs up sweet potatoes, there are countless sweet potato leaves and sweet potato stalks left, if my sister wants, my sister can make them into dried vegetables or pickled vegetables, and sell them to my sister at cost price." ”

"I wonder how much it costs?"

Zheng Yuxin knows that this sweet potato not only has a high yield, but also the vines and leaves are extremely dense, and it can also be eaten.

"This thing, the main reason is that the labor cost is too expensive, the dried vegetables cost a pound, the pickles cost three dollars a pound, and the cost of at least two and a half cents is on the salt, and the salt of the pickles still needs to be provided by my sister, such a large amount of salt, we ordinary people can't get it.

What does my sister think? This is the real price for my sister, if it is an ordinary person, my sister is really reluctant to waste it so much. ”

The other party pondered for a while, and then asked, "If it's all dried vegetables, how much can my sister provide?" ”

As soon as I finished asking, I heard the woman cover her mouth and scold with a smile, "Little villain, what about my sister's words, but my sister is not afraid that you know, it is 20 million catties per month." ”

This price is indeed lower than that of ordinary dried vegetables.

It's just that...

How can I say that I am also a businessman!

And...

"I wonder where my sister plans to go with some other sweet potatoes?"

"Even this can be known, my sister is really well-read, but this is my sister's own secret, I can't talk to my sister," the woman said with a smile.

I only heard Zheng Yuxin say slowly, "To plant so many sweet potato fields, and to make all kinds of food, there are no more than 100,000 people who can't eat it at all, and they all spend their energy on sweet potatoes, so naturally they can't grow other grains, so they can only buy them." And to be able to provide such a huge amount of food, except for my Zheng family, there is no other family, my sister only needs to pay a little attention to it, and she can determine the origin of sweet potatoes, what does my sister think? ”

The woman didn't seem to be afraid of her threat, "Is my sister going to poke this out?" ”

Zheng Yuxin still smiled and said, "Naturally not, but I can easily cut off their food." ”

Yuan Jiarong also smiled, "So what about my sister?" ”

But there is a secret way in my heart, even if you want to check, you have to ask your good sister, if you want to find out.

The other party shook his head, "It's not good, I just hope my sister can give me more discounts." ”

But Yuan Jiarong didn't seem to have the only choice for her, "In that case, why don't you sell them to your rebel army in Dachu?" ”

Speaking of this, the woman seemed to agree with her thoughts very much, "Well, this method is good, the civil strife in Chu is the best thing for my Great Wei."

As for their food that has been cut off, isn't there still so many sweet potatoes in my sister's field?

Alas, although my sister is a Wei person, after all, she has lived in Chu for so many years, and she still has some empathy for the suffering of the Chu people in her heart.

No matter which country, it is not easy for the people at the bottom, Chu has also had many disasters and difficulties over the years, the fields have been dry for many years, especially in the north, this year there is a big drought that has not been seen for many years, and the people have no harvest, they all say that a long drought will be flooded, and a long drought will be locusts, and I don't know if the south, which is known as the granary of Chu, can be saved..."

What a good opportunity this is for their Great Wei, but it's a pity that this sweet potato doesn't belong to her, otherwise, she would take advantage of the civil strife in Chu and directly recruit troops...

Then he said, "Since my sister has no intention of trading with me, then I forgive my sister for leaving." ”

As she spoke, Yuan Jiarong got up and wanted to leave.

"Sister, wait a minute, how can there be a fixed price for doing business, isn't it all you who come to me to set the price, since my sister is unwilling, then we will continue to discuss, how can my sister treat my sister badly, come, please sit, please sit..."

Zheng Yuxin naturally stepped forward to stop her and persuaded her to sit down.

After sitting down, Yuan Jiarong looked at her and smiled, "What does that sister want?" ”

The other party shook his head helplessly, "Naturally, my sister can do whatever she wants, but there are some details to discuss with my sister, after all, such a big deal is not something that can be negotiated through talks." ”

Tsk, it seems that the Zheng family's life is not easy! Yuan Jiarong thought to herself.

Otherwise, how could the Zheng family, who controlled almost the entire grain price of the entire Chu State, compromise with a small businessman of his own for the sake of tens of millions of catties of grain per month.

In such a situation, it is no wonder that some clansmen want to rebel.

Because the amount of food provided by Yuan Jiarong was too large to be clarified in a while, she stayed in the Zheng Mansion for one more day before leaving.

After sending the people away and returning to the study, the housekeeper couldn't help but speak, "Young Patriarch, let's cooperate with the Wei people, if we are caught from above, this can be settled on any charge." ”

Zheng Yuxin pressed his temple, "Send someone to Cangling City to check, the main thing is to find out if there are any people from the imperial court who are eyeing this side, as for the rest, don't worry about it, that's not what we should do."

However, the above only took the secret stake of the Wei people last year, and he was complacent, and this year is an eventful season, and he has no time to take care of the affairs of the Wei people, and he really wants to punish the crime, there are many reasons, and this one is not bad. ”

In this regard, the housekeeper sighed, "Alas, the eldest lady is really, how can you say that you don't care about anything, now all the burdens are on you, how is this..."

"Aunt Qing, if my mother is willing to take care of it, the position of this young patriarch is not mine, let her go."

"But..."

"It's nothing, everyone has their own ambitions."

The housekeeper hesitated a little, "Otherwise, call Miss Lin Chu back to share some of the burden for you, they all say that her talent is not much worse than yours, it is a pity to manage a shop in a small county, and to stay in such a remote place, I am afraid that it will not be comfortable, in fact, there is really no need to ignore the whole family because of the anger of the grandparents." ”

Her words made Zheng Yuxin laugh, "Aunt Qing, your heart is boundless, obviously not inferior to me, to put it bluntly, it is above me, how can it be that your mouth is not much worse than me?" ”

The housekeeper disagreed, "I don't think, the patriarch also said that she likes swords to go sideways, she..."

It's just that before she could continue, Zheng Yuxin interrupted her, "Aunt Qing." ”

"Yes."

"How is the third master doing lately?"

"The third master is still living in a simple house, not mixing in anything, and no one is taking care of him under his knees, so he looks really lonely. Now that it is an eventful autumn, young patriarch, why don't you recruit Miss Lin Chu back in the name of the family, so that she can not only contribute to the family, but also give their ancestors and grandchildren a step down. ”

Zheng Yuxin nodded, "Well, I'll talk to her." ”

Let's not talk about the Zheng family, let's go back to the Xue family.

The closer to the sweet potato harvest and the day of cuttings, the more things the Xue family will do.

After sending all the sugar to the Zheng family, they waited to dig the sweet potatoes.
