Chapter Ninety-Three: The Business War
The Xin family's chili sauce can be said to be thriving in Luonan, because Luonan Wangfu is a powerful backer, and Lin Caifeng's previous affairs are the forerunners, and no long-sighted people deliberately come to find trouble.
Xin Ping made enough money and thought about buying a house, and Jiao Niang naturally welcomed it with both hands. However, Xin Ping wanted to buy a house, so he didn't have to borrow it to live in Yefu. And Jiao Niang wants to buy a manor outside Luonan City and hire tenants to farm, so that the fruits and vegetables in the restaurant can be used with their own, and slowly form a dragon of industry.
The brother and sister argued and expressed their opinions. Of course, his uncle Jiang Nancheng hoped that Xin Ping and them could buy a house, and he said that if the Xin family bought a house, he could subsidize five hundred taels.
Ye Wenzhou is strongly supportive of Jiao Niang, he thinks that his house is empty and empty, Xin Ping and they might as well use the money to expand the industry in key places, and buy a house without being in a hurry.
The two sides are fighting with each other, you come and go, and they don't give in to each other. Just when Xin Ping was about to buy a house, a bad news came: suddenly there were no Sichuan peppers in the market.
It turned out that Jiao Niang specially chose Sichuan pepper when making chili sauce at that time, this chili variety is moderately spicy, and the taste is rich, and the hot sauce made by other chili peppers is not as good as Sichuan hot sauce.
Without Sichuan peppers, the raw materials in the Xin family's workshop can only last for three days, and once the shutdown is stopped, the impact will not be known. Xin Ping was anxious to go to the market to inquire, and it turned out that all the Sichuan peppers were bought by Deyuanlou.
Xin Ping went to Deyuanlou to ask to see the owner, hoping to buy some Sichuan peppers from them for emergency. The owner is the young master of a certain business family in Luonan City, and he is already a little strong, and it was his idea to purchase Sichuan peppers this time, in order to step on the Xin family restaurant.
At this time, Xin Ping sent it to the door, how could the owner give up a good opportunity to humiliate Xin Ping, Xin Ping was counted and dusty, and he slammed out of the round building angrily.
Forced to be cornered, Xin Ping had to set up a carriage and take Li Li to collect Sichuan peppers in the countryside, while Jiao Niang and Ding Yuanyuan followed Song Yunhui to rent a carriage and split up with Xin Ping.
It's a pity that there are not many Sichuan peppers to harvest in villages that have just passed through famine and war, and a group of people only collect less than two baskets of Sichuan peppers at the end of the day.
Xin Ping was so sad that he couldn't eat, and he couldn't sleep. Jiao Niang took the opportunity to persuade: "It's better to have your own farmland, at least we can grow our own crops that can't be bought on the market!" ”
"You have a point, but what now?" Xin Ping smiled bitterly, he had to admit that his sister was more far-sighted than him.
Jiao Niang is actually a little helpless, the village can't collect it, and the market has no sale, they can't go to the round building to grab it!
Lin Ruyi brought tea to the brother and sister who were scratching their ears and cheeks, and after hearing their conversation, he thought for a moment and proposed: "There is no one in the surrounding villages, it doesn't mean that there are no other places, why don't you ask the vendors in the market where they sell Sichuan peppers from, and give more money to go to the waterway to pull the goods." ”
The so-called empowerment of the pot is like this, what you can't figure out by life, and when you are pointed out by others, you suddenly have a clear path.
Xin Ping jumped up excitedly, hugged Lin Ruyi and turned in a circle: "Daughter-in-law, you are too smart!" ”
Lin Ruyi, who was ashamed of this move, hammered Xin Ping's shoulder: "You can't go crazy!" ”
Jiao Niang sneaked away with each other, leaving space for the little couple.
As soon as the second day dawned, Xin Ping and Jiao Niang drove to the wharf outside the city, and many merchants were transporting goods by water. There is an old diner Zheng Meng in Xin's restaurant who is doing business at the dock, and Xin Ping wants to ask him to help match him.
Zheng Meng himself has a cargo ship, and he usually carries merchants to pull goods and deliver goods, and he is busy pretending to direct his men to load goods at the moment, and the clumsy guys are making him angry.
"Lao Meng!"
"Who called grandpa me...... Hey, it's the big shopkeeper of Xinping, what do you have to do! Zheng Meng thought that the guy had made a mistake again, and was just about to get angry and turned his head to see that it was actually the Xin Ping brothers and sisters, and immediately changed his smiling face.
"Of course, please help, brother, do you know where the Sichuan peppers are purchased from?" Xin Ping and Lao Meng can chat, the two have a good relationship, and they often push glasses and change lamps in the tavern to chat. This time, Xin Ping didn't go around the bend and asked him to help directly.
Lao Meng said proudly: "You can ask the right person, now you want to enter Sichuan pepper, you have to go to Quanchuan, I passed by there this time." ”
"Brother Zheng, how long does it take to go back and forth to Quanchuan?" Jiao Niang couldn't help but ask.
"It takes about three days to go back and forth, but I have been far this time, and it will take about half a month to come back. Why, do you want me to help you get some Sichuan chili peppers back? Zheng Meng asked curiously.
Xin Ping frowned, it was too late for half a month.
"Brother Zheng, can we follow the boat to Quanzhou?" Jiao Niang heard that she was going to go for two days, and she thought that she would not go to the chili pepper first, and then find a way to come back. Xin Ping suddenly understood what Jiao Niang meant, and looked at Zheng Meng expectantly.
"That's not a problem, but we're going to go now. You ......" Zheng Meng pointed to the carriage behind the brother and sister, and Xin Ping threw a piece of silver to a steward on the dock and asked him to send the carriage to the Xin family restaurant.
In this way, the brothers and sisters of the Xin family got on the boat to Quanzhou, the ancient ship was not as comfortable as the current cruise ship, and the boat was very bumpy, and Jiao Niang vomited not long after she got on the boat.
Xin Ping could only let her lie in the cabin: "I knew I was going to sea and didn't bring you here, I was guilty." ”
Jiao Niang smiled weakly with a pale face: "Okay, who can predict things like gods?" If we could have expected it, we would have bought all the Sichuan peppers in Luonan City a long time ago. ”
In this way, in the midst of infinite seasickness and turbulence, they finally arrived at Izumikawa.
There is a spice market in Quanzhou, specializing in selling all kinds of herbs, peppers, and spices, and the Xinping brothers and sisters are dizzying, and many spices have never even been seen by Jiao Niang.
The two of them went around and found a relatively large spice shop, where Sichuan peppers are not only large in quantity but also much cheaper than those sold in Luonan.
Xin Ping talked with the shopkeeper for a long time, signed a long-term contract to take the goods, and finally pushed the price to the lowest. Jiao Niang picked a lot of spices, and the shopkeeper saw that they were big customers and gave them all the spices, and also thoughtfully and enthusiastically sent them and the goods to the dock and booked a ship.
The journey into Sichuan pepper was very smooth, but Jiao Niang vomited and was almost dehydrated, and when the brother and sister returned to Xinjia Restaurant with the goods, they heard that Yuanlou had also begun to sell chili sauce.
Jiao Niang was taken aback, and hurriedly called someone to buy the chili sauce from the round building to taste. Fortunately, although the taste of the two is similar, the chili sauce of Xinjia Restaurant is obviously superior.
Now the sales of hot sauce in Xinjia Restaurant and Deyuanlou are evenly divided, the price of Deyuanlou is cheap, and the taste of Xinjia Restaurant is better.
Xin Ping is stunned, the fame of the chili sauce is driven by his own family, so he has to move the round building directly, not to mention, and despicably buy all the Sichuan peppers on the market, wanting to trample the Xin family under his feet.
Jiao Niang is very open, as a modern person, what kind of business war has she never seen? It's just for a good word.
