Chapter 322: A Thousand Taels of Gold for Tomatoes
Gu Shun hurriedly came to Mingyue Tower with the silver, Yue Qingming was taking Ruyi and Jade to pack those tomatoes in boxes in the courtyard, and then carried them into the vacant room, ready to wait outside Mingyue Tower to announce the activities in Mingyue Tower tomorrow, after all, these tomatoes can not be stored for a long time, and they still have to be sold as soon as possible.
"The more Qingming!" As soon as Gu Shun entered the courtyard, he shouted Yue Qingming's name, greeted her, ran to her happily, and said with a smile: "I brought the empty box and silver, you see if the silver is enough!" ”
Then the people brought by Gu Shun came in after them, and those people directly brought the box full of silver to Yue Qingming, opened it for her to see, Yue Qingming stretched out his hand and took it inside to take a look, it was indeed solid silver.
So Yue Qingming asked Gu Shun with a smile, "How many tomatoes do you need?" ”
"A box! Previously said yes! ”
Then Yue Qingming glanced at the box that Gu Shun brought, it was not particularly big, and then asked Ruyi and Jade to put a hundred tomatoes in that box first, and when the last tomato was entered, it was almost just enough to cover the box, just right.
Gu Shun was satisfied, after all, those silver were actually not very important to him, there was silver in their Nan'an Palace, but there were no tomatoes in their palace, although it would be better to spend some silver to buy their favorite tomatoes and go back.
Besides, there are so many people up and down the house, even if their master can't finish eating, they can still reward some to their subordinates, or invite friends to have a meal at home, the number of this hundred tomatoes is not much.
When Yue Qingming went back with a whole box of tomatoes here, Gu Shun's mood was happy, originally he thought that he was going to stay in Mingyue Tower for a long time before Yue Qingming would sell himself some tomatoes in advance.
After Gu Shun left, Yue Qingming asked Ruyi, how much silver there was, Ruyi looked at it and said, "Visually, it should be a thousand taels of silver, but if you want to know the specific weight, you still have to find something to weigh it." ”
"No, it's good to know the approximate number."
If the tomatoes in Mingyue Tower were sold before, they were two dollars of silver, but because of Gu Shun's generous shots, these hundred tomatoes were actually sold for more than a thousand taels of silver, almost one or two more silver, and the price was several times higher.
And just when Yue Qingming was happy because he sold the first box of tomatoes, and felt that his tomatoes must be able to make a lot of money, and let his Mingyue Tower become famous in the imperial city, the little guy who ran outside suddenly ran to the backyard, hurriedly stood in front of Yue Qingming, and said: "Boss, it's not good, the guests outside have been driven away!" Go out and have a look, it's all guards, and it's from inside the palace! ”
Yue Qingming subconsciously frowned, Ruyi and Jade also subconsciously exchanged glances with each other, why are the people in the palace here now? It's really strange, they haven't done anything strange in Mingyue Tower now, besides, the large-scale sale of tomatoes will only start tomorrow, and the people in the palace shouldn't know about it.
But Yue Qing's face quickly regained his calmness, after all, the matter of asking Jiang Qianbai for help was related to the things in the palace, if it was because of Jiang Qianbai entering the palace that these people came here, it would prove that what Jiang Qianbai said in front of the queen mother came in handy, after all, now in addition to such a possibility, Yue Qingming really couldn't imagine that there would be other possibilities for people in the palace to appear here in Mingyue Tower.
So Yue Qingming took a deep breath, and then walked to the lobby outside, Ruyi and Jade were closely behind Yue Qingming, just in case something unexpected happened, they had to protect Yue Qingming by Yue Qingming's side.
But when they followed over and saw that the person sitting in the lobby of Mingyue Tower was the great eunuch Chen Gonggong beside the emperor, the emotions in their eyes were surprised, how could he come here?
And when Yue Qingming saw that person was wearing the clothes of a eunuch in the palace, she knew that he was a eunuch from the palace, but she didn't know why he came here, so she chose to treat him with a friendly attitude in front of the eunuch.
So Yue Qingming walked in front of the Chen Gonggong with a smile and said, "Hello, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
Seeing Yue Qingming walking in front of him, Chen Gong said openly: "You are the boss of Mingyue Tower, right?" ”
"I am."
"Very good," Chen Gonggong then said: "In this case, our family will not go around the bend in front of you, our family is Chen Gonggong in the palace, and he came here to buy the tomatoes in your restaurant for His Majesty the Emperor, and brought a thousand taels of gold, I don't know how many tomatoes can be bought in your restaurant?" ”
Yue Qingming looked at Gonggong Chen with a smile, but his mind was running rapidly, now he came to do business with himself but the richest emperor in the entire imperial city, even if he raised the price of tomatoes a little, it would not be a problem, such rich people would not care about the price of things.
So Yue Qingming said: "Father-in-law, I think you also know that tomatoes are relatively rare, and those tomatoes I planted have only been harvested once, I don't know if the price is a little more expensive is acceptable?" ”
"Girl, what are you talking about, Your Majesty needs these tomatoes, do you think Your Majesty will be short of money? You just say how many tomatoes you can buy for a thousand taels of gold, let people pack them, and we can take them back directly. ”
"Okay, my father-in-law is so refreshing, then I won't talk nonsense, the number of tomatoes that Jin Qianliang can buy is one hundred and twenty, I'll let people pack them up now and let my father-in-law bring them back."
"Go ahead."
"Yes."
After Yue Qingming turned around, he had a smug smile on his face, or the people in the palace were rich, and they still looked indifferent to them by being so pitiful, but this is good, he can make a lot of money with these tomatoes, and he can also give bonuses to the people in the restaurant when the time comes!
How nice that is!
