Cao Dachun picked up the small bottle and observed it, frowned, and then said, "I don't know what this is, I just think that the woman painted on it is very beautiful, so I thought about buying it and giving it to Master." ”

"Nonsense." Yi Changan was rarely slightly angry, "When have you ever seen Master indulge in watching the pictures of ladies?" ”

Cao Dachun didn't expect Yi Changan to be angry, so he hurriedly apologized: "What Master blames is that it was the apprentice who lacked consideration. ”

Jin Luoluo was also a little puzzled, how could such a gentle man as Yi Changan blame Cao Dachun for such a trivial matter today?

But she didn't think much about it, but spread out her palm and said to Cao Dachun: "Show me." ”

Cao Dachun hurriedly put the small bottle in Jin Luoluo's hand, Jin Luoluo observed it carefully, then carefully opened the lid and sniffed it in front of his nose, but he didn't smell anything. Still, it always felt something familiar to her.

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Jin Luoluo finally had a flash of inspiration, thinking that he had been to some old streets and ancient towns, and had seen some local century-old people playing with this thing, what is this called, ah, by the way, "snuff bottle!" Jin Luoluo blurted out.

Yi Changan and Cao Dachun both turned their heads to look at her, and Yi Changan asked first, "Ninety-nine girls know what this is?" ”

Jin Luoluo nodded, "This should be a snuff bottle, but I don't know how to use it, I should need to add some tobacco or something to it." "It's almost extinct in modern times, and of course she can't know how to use it, and it's nice to know what it's called.

"Ah, I remember!" Cao Dachun patted his head suddenly, "When I bought it, it came with a bag of powder, I don't know what it is, I still feel a little stinky when it smells, so I threw it away!" Cao Dachun sighed in annoyance, "I see, if I had known, I wouldn't have thrown it away." It's still a ninety-nine girl who knows a lot. ”

Jin Luoluo was curious at this time, the last time it was a cloisonné bead hairpin, and this time, it was a snuff bottle that he had almost never seen on the market, so he asked curiously: "Cao Dachun, where did you get all these new things?" ”

Cao Dachun's eyes avoided, hesitated for a while, and then raised his eyes and asked, "If I tell you, can you not say it?" ”

Jin Luoluo was stunned when he saw Cao Dachun's serious appearance, there seems to be something wrong with this.

Jin Luoluo nodded hurriedly and said, "I'm not the kind of girl with a big mouth, besides, I have such a good relationship with your master, if you don't believe me, you have to believe in your master's eye for making friends." ”

Yi Changan next to him was stunned, and his gaze at Jin Luoluo softened for a moment.

Cao Dachun nodded slightly, got up and looked outside the door, and after making sure that there was no one else nearby, he turned around and came to Jin Luoluo's side and whispered: "There are people at the dock who secretly sell imported goods, I have been fishing on the beach all year round, and I am very familiar with them, so I can buy them at a low price." ”

Jin Luoluo frowned, a little puzzled, and asked, "Secretly selling imported goods?" Why sell it secretly? ”

Cao Dachun was a little surprised, then nodded again and explained: "Jiujiu girl has never been in contact with shipping, so it's normal that she doesn't understand. The people who do the shipping of the sea have been bringing back some strange or cheap things from neighboring countries and even overseas all year round, but the imperial court does not allow them to sell these goods privately, so the imperial court comes forward to buy their goods, and then resell them in the market at a higher price. ”

"Why does the court want to do this?" Jin Luoluo interrupted very puzzled, doesn't this suppress the development of foreign trade?

"If the court doesn't do this, how can it collect tribute?" Cao Dachun asked rhetorically.

Jin Luoluo was speechless for a while, this method of collecting tribute was convenient and comprehensive for the imperial court, but he did not think about the disadvantages of this method from the perspective of these merchants who did shipping.

"So, is the purchase price of the imperial court particularly low, and those who do shipping are unwilling to sell the goods that have worked hard and risked all the way from overseas to the imperial court at a low price, so they are secretly buying and selling in private?"

Cao Dachun looked at Jin Luoluo in surprise, and then exclaimed: "The ninety-nine girl is really smart, she can see through it at a glance." ”

Jin Luoluo smiled, this matter is actually very simple, the current information is not as transparent as in modern times, and petty officials have to take advantage of this opportunity if they want to earn some "extra money", so the officials who come forward to buy imported goods will definitely find a way to suppress the price of imported goods, so that they can earn the difference.

However, if this degree is not grasped well and the foreign trade businessmen are deprived of the benefits they deserve, then these foreign trade businessmen will definitely secretly think of other ways to earn benefits.

However, Jin Luoluo has grinded out a way to make money.

"Cao Dachun, if I also want to buy imported products, how should I buy them?" Kinlolo: I asked.

Cao Dachun smiled slightly, looked at Jin Luoluo like those girls who love to buy, buy, buy, buy ”

"Wow!" Jin Luoluo's eyes began to glow with a $-shaped golden light.

So, in the middle of a cold night, Jin Luoluo followed Cao Dachun and sneaked to a corner of the dock.

Cao Dachun familiarly led her into an inconspicuous boat. When the curtain of the boat was opened, the candle flame was faintly lit, and there were several tough guys sitting inside, some of whom had scars on their faces and had a sinister face. Jin Luoluo couldn't help but swallow his saliva, how did he feel like he was making an invisible deal with the bigwigs of the underworld.

Because of Cao Dachun's relationship, he fished in this area all the year round, and he was very familiar with them, so he didn't take much precautions against Jin Luoluo, and happily hid them and put all the imported goods that were not sold to the imperial court in front of Jin Luoluo.

"There are 500 texts for everything, and you can choose whatever you want." A big man suppressed a rough voice.

Jin Luoluo casually pulled up a large bag of things, in addition to jewelry, there were also some spices, cotton cloth, and handicrafts...... Some of these strange things are far more than five hundred Wen, and some are not worth it, Jin Luoluo smacked it, bought it together, and looked at the dazzling array It should also sell better.

After pulling for a while, Jin Luoluo pinched the money bag, raised his eyes and smiled at the big man: "Big brother, I bought it all, can it be cheaper?" ”

In this way, a large bag of things, at a price of less than fifty taels, was bought.

Cao Dachun looked at Jin Luoluo's generosity and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Jiujiu, it turns out that you are so rich......"

"Huh!" Jin Luoluo smiled softly, this is called being rich? So what was her life in her last life called?

Compared with the generosity of her previous life, she is now living a life completely on a budget. She had to find a way to earn her first pot of gold in ancient times with the one hundred and fifty taels of flipbooks in her hand.

Back in Yefu, Jin Luoluo didn't sleep all night, she roughly sorted out the imported goods she bought, and packed them in three different bags according to their value.

At dawn on the second day, Jin Luoluo carried this big bag of things on his back and knocked on the door of one of Master Ye's concubines.

The concubine had just gotten up, and there was still a trace of tiredness on her body.

Jin Luoluo spread out the three packages in front of the concubine: "Madam, I have some good goods here." ”

Suddenly, when the concubine's eyes touched those goods, her eyes immediately lit up, and the whole person was also a lot more energetic, and her hand picked up a hair ornament that looked very pleasing to the eye.

He played with it in his hand for a while, and then looked at Jin Luoluo playfully.

"Little girl, ...... are you?"

"Madam, slaves and maids have some special channels to get some strange things, and the price is also very beautiful." Jin Luoluo said mysteriously.

"Special channels?" The concubine smiled.

Jin Luoluo smiled and groaned, and he didn't plan to explain too much, but pointed to the goods on the table and said: "You can pick the best bag of five taels of silver, the general bag of three taels of silver can be picked at will, and the last bag of half a tael can be picked at will." Don't bargain, don't bargain, if the lady is optimistic, just pick it up. ”

"Oh? So good? Sure enough, the concubine no longer struggled with special channels, but began to pick it up decently.

While picking, he said to himself:

"It's only three taels, it's too cheap!"

"This is a bit expensive, but it's so good?"

"Hey, what is this, why have you never seen it?"

"Wow, there is even this, I saw it in the market not long ago, it sells for twenty taels, and you only have five taels?" As he spoke, the whole person looked at Jin Luoluo with surprise and joy.

Jin Luoluo smiled on his face, and without explanation, he just waited for his wife to choose.

The first concubine was selected for nearly half of the time, and everything was expected, but the good things were basically picked by her.

But it doesn't matter, Jin Luoluo is confident in this batch of goods, not to mention selling them all, at least he can make a lot of silver.

Out of the courtyard of the first concubine, Jin Luoluo continued to walk towards the mansion and knocked on the door of the second concubine's courtyard.

The next business is becoming more and more difficult, because the good goods are almost picked by the previous concubines.

Jin Luoluo has changed from a random selection at the beginning to a sales model.

"Madam, this color is white, and the color of the jade pendant on your waist also matches, this is too suitable."

"And this, a versatile accessory, simple and generous, not fancy, low-key and connotative."

"Ah, this and this, the luxury lady style, is the most important way to show the noble identity of the lady."

……

Sales are sales, Jin Luoluo still knows how to measure, if the concubine is not optimistic, Jin Luoluo will no longer continue to sell,

A morning has passed, and the mouths are dry, and there are still few goods left to sell.

The capital is back, and I have made a lot of money, but I am so tired!

Jin Luoluo suddenly remembered that in her previous life, those entrepreneurs displayed PPT in front of her, foaming at the mouth, telling moving stories, promoting their projects, and speaking so hard, just to attract her financing.

Compared with those passionate entrepreneurs, Jin Luoluo feels that she is far from strong enough today.

However, there was still a worthless inventory left, Jin Luoluo thought about it and decided not to make a move.

In fact, the price reduction can also be sold, but a few concubines look up and don't look down, everyone knows how much money they sell, if the price is reduced, when they sell it in the future, they will ask for a price reduction, which is not good.

In fact, if he took it out to set up a stall, Jin Luoluo felt that he could sell it, but after all, this batch of goods came from the wrong way, and if it was checked, it would be worth the loss if the back road was broken.

The first time he made a move, he earned a salary that a maid had to work for more than a few years to save, Jin Luoluo was very proud, and he hadn't eaten lunch yet, so he hurriedly ran to Yi Chang'an's account office.
