Chapter 25: The First Business

On the first day of midwinter, Zhao Dazhuang came to Du Jun's house as promised, as his name suggests, strong and solid, like a black tower, but he is a little shorter, and Du Jun is about the same height.

Aunt Liu and Da Zhuang's mother are from the same village, and they also married into Zhaojia Village, and because of this relationship, this job fell into the hands of Da Zhuang.

In addition to farming, Da Zhuang usually does odd jobs everywhere, but now the weather is getting colder and there is less work, and now he is quite satisfied with this temporary job of three months and one tael of silver per month. Close to home, flexible time, and not heavy work.

After Du Jun got up early and ran with his sister in the morning, he changed into a set of clothes, got a shawl hair, arranged the morning training, and after instructing the two of them, he and Da Zhuang got into the carriage and set off to the county seat of Anxian County again.

The weather in early winter was wet and cold, and Du Jun wore thermal underwear inside and felt that he could bear it, so he sat behind the carriage and watched the groom, how to catch the car.

Da Zhuang doesn't hide his secrets, they are all from the same village, even if they were not familiar with it before, they will have to deal with it often in the future. Tell him about his experience in driving a carriage over the years, driving a carriage still depends on experience, there is still a gap between saying and doing, Du Jun is not in a hurry, he should be able to learn it in three months.

An hour later, the carriage stopped at the largest market in the county seat of Anxian County, and Du Jun asked Da Zhuang to park the carriage at the horse shop, and pick her up at Wangjiang Pavilion three hours later.

Entering the bazaar, Du Jun first inquired about the prices of chickens, ducks and rabbits, so that he knew what to expect. Then they buy cages made of bamboo strips in a large number or size (at least two or more), buy a batch, carry them to the surrounding remote places, collect them into space, and then continue to buy them until there are no more empty cages to sell in the whole market.

Walk out of the market and head towards Wangjiang Pavilion. Today's goal is the largest restaurant in Anxian County.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Xiao Er saw a beautiful woman with a temperament, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Guest officer, it's not time to eat yet, would you like to have a cup of tea or?" , Xiao Er saw Du Jun's clothes, and then looked at his hair, he couldn't tell whether this was called a girl or a little lady, yes, it was still called a guest officer, nothing could go wrong.

"I'm looking for your shopkeeper, is he there?" Du Jun asked Xiao Er with a smile.

"You're looking for our shopkeeper, wait a minute, I'll inform you."

After Xiao Er finished speaking, he ran to the second floor and looked for the shopkeeper.

After a long time, a pot-bellied man came down from the second floor. Xiao Er followed behind him, and he couldn't see it at all.

"The shopkeeper is the guest officer looking for you." Xiao Er came out from behind and pointed at Du Jun.

"Oh, I'm the shopkeeper of this restaurant, my contemptible surname is Tong, this little ...... Nun...... What do you call a guest officer, and what is the so-called thing to look for? ”。

Yes, this person can't tell whether Du Jun is married or not, but his clothes are valuable and his temperament is outstanding, out of the shrewdness of a businessman, he will introduce himself first, and then ......

"The shopkeeper Tong is good, in Xia Dujun, I have a business I want to talk to the shopkeeper."

"I don't know what kind of business it is?"

"It's a long-term business, is the shopkeeper Tong going to talk about business in the hall?"

Du Jun asked the shopkeeper Tong without being humble or arrogant.

"Oh! It's me Meng Lang, come, upstairs please", the shopkeeper Tong woke up like a dream, and explained to Du Jun. The two went up to the second floor one after the other, opened a box, and Xiao Er then brought tea.

"I don't know if I call Miss Du or Mrs. Du?"

I don't blame the shopkeeper Tong for asking, in this era, those who come out to do business are either their own shops, generally called Mrs., or the housekeeper lady of a certain house, looking at Du Jun's hairstyle, it is obvious that he is not married to a wife, so the shopkeeper Tong has this question.

"Hehe, shopkeeper Tong is polite, just call me Du Jun, it's all this hair that causes trouble, I'll get it", Du Jun took out a headband and tied a ponytail in three or two.

I still want to make a beautiful appearance, but no one knows the goods and is depressed.

The shopkeeper Tong startled Du Jun's sudden move, looked at Du Jun dumbfounded, and also admired this woman's refreshing temperament.

The relationship between people is so strange, sometimes an action, a look will become a friend, an intentional friendship, an inner appreciation, and the distance between the two people is quickly shortened.

"Okay, then I'll call you Du Jun, contemptible people are older than you, if you don't mind, call me Uncle Tong, don't call me the shopkeeper, what do you mean by big business?"

Du Jun took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Uncle Tong, you need chickens and ducks in this hotel, right?" ”

"You mean you can provide chickens and ducks?"

Tong shopkeeper in his heart, chickens and ducks are the most common, even if you have the goods, but I have a fixed supply shop, is this to pry the line? I can't help but be disappointed, what kind of big business is this? It's not good for your own restaurant.

"Uncle Tong, I not only have live chickens and ducks, but also rabbits, which are also alive, and I can supply them for a long time to ensure that your restaurant continues."

Du Jun proposed a new choice. There are two supply shops, this one is chicken and duck, and the other is chicken, duck and rabbit, so which one to choose?

The purpose of a restaurant is to be able to provide a variety of fresh dishes in order to attract diners. This little rabbit made Shopkeeper Tong's heart begin to tilt, but it has not completely fallen to Du Jun.

After all, a fixed supplier, after a long time of cooperation, there is also feelings.

Shopkeeper Tong was still fighting between heaven and man, and Du Jun kicked out another bomb over there, "Uncle Tong, not only chickens, ducks and rabbits, I also have sheep to provide."

Rabbits are rare in Anxian County, but they can still be seen occasionally, but sheep, not to mention in Anxian County, are even rare in Dazhou.

Sheep live in the mountains or grasslands, Dazhou, as a plain near the sea, has always belonged to the upper class exclusively, thinking of the deliciousness of mutton, the shopkeeper swallowed his saliva.

Du Jun looked at the shopkeeper Tong opposite, with a tangled face, is this agree? Still disagree?

Another bomb, business is not a matter of a word, Wangjiang Pavilion is not good, and then change a restaurant, are you afraid that you will not be able to sell the goods?

"Uncle Tong, I still have cattle to provide."

"You girl, can you finish the words in one breath?" , The shopkeeper sprayed directly, Ya, a heavy hammer in a word, you are a gopher when you are an uncle, smash them one by one.

"This cow is forbidden to be bought and sold by the people, only sick cattle or disabled cattle can be slaughtered, and the yamen must sign, cattle, this is not good", although the greedy is not good, but what should not be done or can not be done.

Du Jun is in a hurry, if you don't buy it, what will I eat?

"Uncle Tong, this cow is specially raised to eat meat, not the kind of yellow cow buffalo."

"And such a cow? How many heads do you have? ”

The shopkeeper Tong is a little tempted, as long as there is beef in the restaurant, it is the fastest to sell. It's not unheard of to break a leg of a cow and deal with it as a remnant cow, and the people don't raise officials or pull it, just operate it on the government side.

"About a few hundred, I haven't checked it carefully", Du Jun was unhappy, there was meat, and he couldn't eat it.

"Poof", the shopkeeper sprayed out directly with a mouthful of water, which didn't let people play well, this is the rhythm of making people kneel.

Tidying up the table and calming down, Shopkeeper Tong looked at the cardamom girl in front of him again, isn't this a spy sent by another country?

"Say, what else, say it all at once". Shopkeeper Tong has already caught Du Jun's rhythm, looking at her calm appearance, (not calm, unhappy) There should be something.

"Well, there are cows", Du Jun replied boringly, before he could recover from the blow above, the sauce beef that he had never forgotten was gone...... Gone......

"Cows, don't grab milk from calves to drink", the shopkeeper Tong waved his hand and let the cow go. Cows don't drink milk, what are cows called! It's terrible to be uneducated, despise it!

"Let's discuss the beef cow matter again, it's not impossible", the shopkeeper Tong didn't completely say that it was impossible to die, and gave Du Jun a chance to buffer.

"You said you can cooperate for a long time, how long is the supply cycle? What is the maximum quantity to be delivered? If it's out of stock, where am I going to find you? After a while, the shopkeeper Tong returned to his position and asked a few key questions.

"Ah, I'm now in Zhaojia Village, the new farm is still preparing, the supply cycle is tentatively set once every five days, the quantity depends on how much you want, I'll prepare it for you."

When it comes to practical problems, Du Jun also has to tell the truth, at least he has an address, which can also make people feel at ease.

"Can you get the goods today?"

Shopkeeper Tong asked tentatively.

"No problem, you give me a number, I'll prepare", I'm not afraid that you want the goods, I'm afraid that you don't want it, Du Junle.

"Then let's have twenty chickens, fifteen ducks, thirty rabbits, two sheep, you know, there are also chicken and duck supply shops in the restaurant, and there are some in the backyard, so this time there will be fewer points", the shopkeeper Tong explained again.

Just like you, the shopkeeper Tong, be honest and honest, and the business can be done for a long time.

"Okay, then I'll prepare and bring it to you in half an hour", Du Jun calculated the time.

It's off to a good start, and the first business is done!
