Chapter Seventy-Three: The Charm of Salt
There is very little salt on the market, and even if people like them save money, they sometimes can't touch it.
This kind of salt is usually used by the most noble people, and he only had the opportunity to see it by chance when he worked in a big official's house, and ordinary people probably never saw this thing in their lives.
Now, he actually bought half a catty for a hundred yuan?
His voice trembled a little: "Boss, you didn't lie to me, did you?" ”
Xu Jiao told him very firmly: "I didn't lie to you, the third-class salt we have here is two hundred wen a catty, you remember to publicize it with your neighbors, friends and relatives when you go back, I don't have any sound here." ”
"Definitely, definitely."
Gao Qiang excitedly took half a catty of salt in his hand and went home, his wife had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him at the table, and the two children were also obediently waiting for the meal.
Looking at the table, there were some whole grains and a pot of wild vegetable soup.
Even if it was something like this, the children stared at the wild vegetable soup with bright eyes, and they were very hungry.
"Let's take the soup and remake it." Gao Qiang said to his wife.
The wife thought there was something wrong with this pot of wild vegetable soup and asked, "What's wrong?" It's still hot, so it doesn't need to be redone. ”
Gao Qiang handed her the things he had twisted in his hand, and a smile couldn't help leaking out in his tone: "You open it and take a look." ”
Seeing him like this, she was a little curious, unpacked the package, and the two children also came around curiously.
"Wow!" The children let out an exclamation sound, and a pile of snow-white salt appeared in front of them, and the wife seemed to be unable to believe the scene in front of her, and dipped a small amount of her finger into her mouth, salty, this is really salt!
Excited and scared, she asked, "Where did this thing come from?" You didn't do anything bad. ”
Seeing his wife's excited reaction, Gao Qiang hurriedly told her everything that happened today.
"How can such a good thing happen?" Although it was a little unbelievable, she still brought the wild vegetable soup to the stove first, added salt and reheated it.
The children ate this meal very well, and after eating, they went out to show off with their friends.
The wife carefully put away the salt and took out 400 yuan from the place where the money was hidden in the house.
"What is this?" Gao Qiang looked at his wife's actions and asked curiously.
didn't expect to get a roll of the eyes, and his wife said angrily: "You men just don't plan, what if the boss doesn't think he can make money tomorrow and won't sell it?" Although the family has no money, it is still possible to take out 400 wen to buy two catties of salt. ”
Perhaps speaking too quickly, she paused for a moment and continued: "The children are still young, and they should eat more salt on weekdays." ”
"I know, I naturally don't want to lose the child and you, let's go, let's go buy salt."
Seeing Gao Qiang going and returning, with a woman with him, Xu Jiao asked with some curiosity: "What's the matter, is there something wrong with our things?" ”
"Nope." Gao Qiang immediately waved his hand: "The boss's things are very good, but we are afraid that we will not be able to buy them in the future, so we want to buy two catties more." ”
His wife nodded her head as well.
Xu Jiao didn't say anything that we would always sell in the future, in case she was lazy and didn't know when she wouldn't do it, it was also very possible.
After receiving the four hundred Wen handed over by Gao Qiang, Xu Jiao shouted to the back: "Four hundred Wen third-class salt." ”
The guards are faster than last time, and may be more proficient in packaging techniques.
This time, it is divided into two paper bags, and one paper bag only contains one pound at most, otherwise it is too big and easy to break or leak out.
Gao Qiang and his wife took the paper bag, thanked the boss and went home, but they were blocked by nearby neighbors at the door of their homes.
They were all attracted by the words of the two children of the Gao Qiang family, they said that the family ate salt today, how fragrant and fragrant, and the other children ran back to their parents when they were hungry.
They hadn't found a place to sell salt for a long time, and even a slightly more well-off family hadn't eaten salt for a long time, so when they learned that there was a place to sell salt, they naturally couldn't wait to ask.
Gao Qiang didn't squirm, told them the location of Jiweiju, and also told the price.
As soon as everyone heard that there was such cheap salt, they rushed home to get money to buy it, and soon there was no one at the gate of the yard, leaving only the husband and wife staring wide-eyed.
Xu Jiao sat bored in the store, there is only one customer a day today, and it seems that she will have to find a way to publicize it tomorrow.
As she was thinking this, a large group of people suddenly gathered in front of her store, and she was so frightened that she quickly stood up and shouted, "Queue up first to buy things." ”
Ordinary people are still a little restrained when they come to this kind of store, and when they see the person in front of them who looks like a nobleman, they all line up honestly.
Someone else couldn't help but ask: "Boss, can you really buy a pound of salt for 200 wen here?" ”
Xu Jiao nodded: "Of course." Then he turned to the first person in the queue and asked, "How many pounds do you want?" ”
She didn't ask these people if they needed second- and first-class salt, because it wasn't necessary for ordinary people, it was too expensive for them to afford.
Together, these people bought more than 100 catties of third-class salt, and they all took their things home satisfied.
Xu Jiao didn't forget to tell each of them: "Remember to help me publicize it." ”
Such a good thing, don't you need the boss to say that they will advertise it?
Soon Xu Jiao was busy with her feet not touching the ground, and the people who came to buy salt formed a long line at the door, and she had to call two more guards to help take care of the front, and there were seven or eight guards in the backyard who were busy packing.
The steward of a five-grade official saw this long queue and asked curiously about the people in line: "What are you lining up for?" ”
The people in line looked back and saw his dress, knowing that this person was not an ordinary person, and told him about it 1510, and then pointed to a person who couldn't help but open it and dip it in a sip of salt as soon as he bought it and said: "Look, that's it, it's like that, two hundred wen a catty, we are all here to buy this." ”
The steward went out of the house today to purchase food and clothing in the house, and salt was also one of them, if he bought such a good salt, it only cost two hundred yuan, and he would definitely be more appreciated by the old lady.
He is a steward of the five-grade official mansion, and he has seen much more things than ordinary people, and this kind of salt of two hundred wen a pound looks like it can be almost the same as the fine salt that only nobles are qualified to enjoy.
Jiweiju, I heard the people say that the boss is the boss of Shiweiju, this woman is terrible, he has heard his wife complain countless times in the house that he can't buy the fragrance of Shiweiju.
This boss is really not simple, and even this kind of salt can be sold cheaply.
Thinking about it, it was his turn to enter the store.
The guest in front of him was dressed well, not like an ordinary person, so Xu Jiao didn't ask him how many catties he wanted, but asked him: "Do you want first-class salt, second-class salt or third-class salt?" ”
Is there a grade of salt here? He didn't hear anyone say anything about it just now.
