Chapter 36 Negotiation
The women of the merchant family are not so particular, not to mention that the Liao family has been doing overseas business for a long time, so the family style is also more open. They came to Shu this time to find a better source of Shu brocade, and they happened to meet the Dragon Boat Festival.
Lexu County on the edge of the Ning River is near the water, so there is a dragon boat race. They also came here to see the excitement, but they didn't expect to meet Li Qing's stall by mistake and see the fried ghost. At this time, Li Qing had already gone to the river to watch the race.
"Mother, look, it's Liu Xiucai, that's the dragon boat of our village." Yunji excitedly pointed to the water in the distance.
Li Qing followed the direction of Yun and his finger and looked over, and saw several dragon boats floating on the water, full of people, waiting solemnly, just waiting for the county order to give an order, and immediately leave the string.
The gongs and drums shook the sky, the county order raised the order flag, and everyone held their breath.
As if there was a snap, the county ordered Su Xuning to draw the chess pieces in his hand, and the three dragon boats flew forward.
The people on the shore were all waving their flags and shouting, and there were at least three people from the village standing here, and Li Qing finally squeezed in.
The gestures of the people who row directly are in unison, and the long dragon boats are under their oars, on the water, as if flying.
In order to let the people know which village's dragon boat it is, each dragon boat is hung with colorful flags.
Shilitang is a mixture of red and green colored flags, in the second position, the first is Dayebai Village. Almost all of them were hunters, and their physical strength was superior to that of the other two villages.
The dragon boat gradually moved away, and the people on the river bank also chased after it, Li Qing carried the clouds on his back and it was inconvenient to run, so he had to look at the three smaller and smaller dragons on the water from a distance.
The tricks played by the ancients are not lost to modern people at all, Li Qing felt the breath of life from the Dragon Boat Festival activities such as dragon boat racing, and a warm and upward feeling surged from the bottom of Li Qing's heart.
In the end, Dayebai Village won, Shilitang was second, and Shiyuan Field was third.
I heard that something happened in the middle, as if it was who hit whom, Li Qing didn't care. She took Yun Ji to visit the roadside stalls and bought some cute gadgets for Yun Ji.
When she returned to her stall, she found that Jiang was no longer there, and there was a person dressed as a small servant waiting.
"Dare to ask the little lady if she is a seller of fried ghosts?" The little guy lowered his head and asked with a smile, very polite and well-trained.
Jiang was not there, and Li Qing suddenly became vigilant.
"Who are you?" Li Qing asked.
The little maid did not answer his origin, but said: "My master is very interested in the snacks of the little lady, and has invited your parents to come to the discussion, and sent the villain to wait here, so that you will not be anxious because you can't find anyone." ”
"Oh?"
Unexpectedly, someone actually fell in love with his fried fritters, Li Qing looked at the little guy in front of him. Judging from the words and deeds of the other party, the master tutor behind it is okay, and his accent is not like a local.
There are already a lot of people on Ninghe's side, and if you are looking for someone to negotiate at this time, then the other party should be a serious businessman, not like a bully or something.
"Please come with me, my master and your parents are in the Canglang Pavilion at the end of this road." The little girl saw that Li Qing was carrying the child on his back, so he spontaneously picked up the burden and carried the basket.
Li Qing nodded and thanked him, and walked forward.
"Childe, someone is here." The little guy laid down his burden.
When Jiang saw Li Qing coming, it was as if he had the backbone all of a sudden. She was a village woman who had rarely seen anyone outside, and she was sitting cramped and restless. This group of people wanted to buy the recipe for the fried ghost from them, although she fried the fried ghost, but the final method was controlled by Li Qing, how did she know what the recipe was?
I didn't expect this small food to be favored by businessmen.
Although Jiang was not very good at learning, those people planned to pay twenty taels of silver to buy the formula, and she was extremely disdainful of it. She and her own A-Qing only made more than one or two taels of silver by selling fried ghosts on the dock three or four times, which means that they can earn twenty taels of silver by the end of the year.
This group of people really dared to bully her for being a village woman, do they really think that she has low knowledge?
The reason why she is not cramped and uneasy is because the cold face in front of her stares at her like a Hades, and her back is cold.
"A-Qing." Jiang Shi hurriedly stood up to meet her and picked up the sleeping Yun Ji from her back.
"I heard you want to buy my recipe?" Li Qing had a preconceived idea, which made these businessmen who had thought of wording and prepared to drop prices again and again, and were instantly confused.
"We are Su businessmen, we came from afar, and we happened to see this kind of snack fried ghost, and we expressed our interest, hoping that Mrs. Jiang could sell us the recipe and bring this snack to the north." Zhang Desheng changed his previous hippie smile. Li Qing didn't feel like a mountain village woman, and he couldn't understand what it felt like, so he couldn't underestimate it.
Miss Liao Liu, who was on the side, brought a stool to Li Qing and poured tea. Li Qing sat down and didn't glance at the tea on the table.
"How much are you going to pay?"
At this time, the gentle aura on Li Qing's body had been completely put away, and he looked like an old and spicy business elite. Even the Jiang family, who got along with each other on weekdays, was taken aback, she had never seen Li Qing's side.
This daughter-in-law is a capable one.
"So the little lady Jiang is going to sell us the recipe for the fried ghost?" Coopers Liao.
"This is natural, but I sell it to you doesn't mean that I can't sell it in Shudi, what Gongzi just said is to develop this snack to the north, in that case, what can't I agree with?" Li Qing picked up the tea on the table and took a sip elegantly.
Liao Xing's face was paralyzed, a trace of surprise flowed under his face, this poor and remote Shudi village woman could actually see the shadow of the noble lady in the boudoir, could it be that this person had an extraordinary background?
Because it was a temporary decision, it didn't investigate the details of the other party, could it be really underestimated? It seems that twenty taels can't be bought.
Liao Xing weighed it and decided to buy the recipe for the fried ghost for one hundred taels. Liao Xing gestured a finger under the table, and glanced at Zhang Desheng, and got his response.
"One hundred taels." Zhang Desheng smiled at Li Qing and said: "Jiang Xiaoniang's fried ghost sells for five copper coins, which is not expensive or cheap, and one hundred taels will not be bought out, but we will take it to the north, do you think it is feasible?" ”
Li Qing quickly calculated in his heart that according to the housing prices in the county, one hundred taels is not enough for one store, so one hundred taels is not enough. But she has other things to sell, so there's no hurry to get rich suddenly.
Thinking like this, one hundred taels is reasonable, and Li Qing plans to increase the price a little more.
"One hundred and fifty taels, I can sell you something more, it's with the fried ghost."
"Oh? There is even a one, can you tell me what it is?" Liao Yong was interested, and he probably understood why the eldest brother wanted to increase the price.
"The concubine makes a fried ghost, but I don't know that this is actually a breakfast snack, if it is accompanied by bean juice, it will be better, if you have a restaurant under your name, this is a good breakfast, then you will earn more than one hundred and fifty taels, the little woman is in a corner of Shudi, and it will not affect your son's business at all."
