Chapter 7: Counterattack (Part II)

Zheng Chen gave them the price of two pennies a catty, let them go out with their family, and by the way, let them go to help buy some oil and come back.

After that, I went to several other uncles with better relationships, and they also bought them at the same price, and asked them to help buy twenty catties of oil, lard and mutton fat.

There are a total of five families, each family gave 400 Wen, in addition to the money to buy oil, there is still a little left, Zheng Chen said that it was to buy green fruits (made up, don't be serious).

When Zheng Chen returned home, Zheng Xu had already cooked the meal and was waiting for Zheng Chen, Zheng Chen told him about buying green fruits and asking others to help buy oil, and asked Zheng Xu to prepare a place to put it, this time Zheng Xu surprisingly did not ask, and after eating, he cleaned up his room and his eldest brother's room.

In the afternoon, the families brought the oil over, and asked their children to help make the molds that set the soap, and they went up to the mountains to collect green fruits, led by Zheng Fang, after all, he went up the mountains to hunt all the year round and was familiar with the mountains and forests.

Zheng Chen asked more than a dozen children to make molds in the yard, and he and Zheng Xu went into the kitchen to make soap, making more than 1,000 pieces all afternoon.

In the evening, Zheng Fang came to Zheng Chen's house with seven or eight people pushing a cart of green fruits.

"Xiao Chen, here are all green fruits, fifty catties per bag, there are twenty bags here, adding up to one thousand catties, you said put it there, we will help you move into the house." Zheng Fangxiao's eyes were about to narrow, a thousand catties of green fruits are two thousand wen yuan according to two wen a catty, the average score of the five families, one family can get four hundred wen, this is just an afternoon's harvest, if it is a whole day at least two thousand jin can be harvested, then there will be eight hundred wen a day, which is several times stronger than hunting.

"Just put it in the yard, tomorrow when you go up the mountain, you will collect some wood and come back, I will buy it according to the market price, and I will give you the money tomorrow." Zheng Chen arranged for them to place the green fruits in the corner of the courtyard.

"Okay, I'll send it over at noon tomorrow, and if you don't have so much space to put it, you can put some in our house." Zheng Fang is not afraid that Zheng Chen will not give money, even if he does not give money, it is nothing, after all, these green fruits are not worth anything, they just make some effort, so they should be regarded as wasting some time and strength to see a person clearly.

"yes, I can spare some space over there, too."

Several other people also chimed in and said, Zheng Chen could see that they were sincere.

"Then thank you uncles, I really don't have enough space here, I have to take out these green fruits to dry tomorrow, I can't dry so much in this yard.

And tomorrow you can bring the children with you, I've already made enough boxes, and I don't need their help tomorrow. Zheng Chen was not polite to them, just occupying some space.

"Then you don't have to move down, we'll take two bags back each, and we'll help you dry it early tomorrow morning before we go into the mountain."

"The third one is right, let's take it back and help you dry it..."

Zheng Fang: When they heard Zheng Chen say this, they directly took over the matter of drying green fruits.

Zheng Chen didn't be polite to them, and after chatting with them for a while, he let them go back, he didn't have any money, and he couldn't entertain them for dinner, and they didn't care.

After dinner, Zheng Chen and Zheng Xu made more than 300 pieces of soap before resting, and when they got up early the next morning, Zheng Chen also found that Zheng Xu had made more than 100 pieces of soap.

Zheng Chen and Zheng Xu had breakfast and took more than 200 pieces of soap into the city, and as soon as they arrived at the city gate, they met the maid named Xiaoyun.

"You're finally here, do you still have that soap?" The first thing Xiaoyun did when he saw Zheng Chen and the two of them was to ask about soap.

"Yes, but we can't sell it to you, if you want, you can go to the Lu family's rouge shop to buy it, we will deliver it to them now and we will go over together." Zheng Chen said to Xiaoyun with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go..."Xiao Yun didn't ask much, now that she has been appreciated by her wife, she will have a higher status in the Lin Mansion in the future, she is still afraid that Zheng Chen will come to entangle her, if there is a place to buy it, she naturally does not want to have anything to do with Zheng Chen.

The three of them came to the Lu family's rouge shop, and Zheng Chen said to the Lu shopkeeper with a smile: "Lu shopkeeper, we sent the soap, just now this young lady wanted to buy it directly from us, but we didn't sell it to her, we brought her to you to buy it." ”

Hearing Zheng Chen's flattering tone, Shopkeeper Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, yesterday he was also worried that Zheng Xu would let Zheng Chen see something strange after he took the agreement back, it seemed that he was too careful, and sure enough, just like the news he found, this nerd didn't understand anything, just like his two elder brothers.

"Actually, it's nothing to sell a few dollars, I'm not so stingy." Shopkeeper Lu said with a smile, if it weren't for his attitude the day before yesterday and that agreement, Zheng Chen might have been deceived by his appearance.

"Shopkeeper Lu, you can talk later, give me ten pieces of soap first, and you will have time to talk after I leave." Xiaoyun now just wants to go back to the business as soon as possible, so as not to be entangled by Zheng Chen.

"Okay, two hundred wen a piece, ten yuan and two yuan..."The shopkeeper Lu quoted directly, and he did not shy away from the presence of the two Zheng Chen brothers.

"I'll give you two dollars, I'll go first..."Xiaoyun didn't even pay back the price, which was not much different from Mrs. Budget.

After Xiaoyun left, Zheng Chen's two brothers looked ugly, Zheng Xu was real, and Zheng Chen was pretending.

Zheng Xu also wanted to step forward to question, but fortunately, Zheng Chen reacted in time, and asked first: "Shopkeeper Lu, you are a little unkind, we only sold you forty wen, but you have to sell two hundred wen, should you give us some price!" ”

"Hey... If we don't sell it for 200 yuan, we won't have to make any money, except for buying your soap for 40 yuan, the guys in the shop have to pay salaries, I also have to pay salaries, and this shop still needs to pay taxes, and the money that really goes to the boss is not much. Shopkeeper Lu said in a deep tone.

"I'm sorry, we misunderstood Shopkeeper Lu, two hundred pieces of soap are here, Shopkeeper Lu will pay us the money, let's go back first!" Zheng Chen pretended to be embarrassed, and seemed to really believe the nonsense of the shopkeeper Lu.

"Yesterday I gave you the usual money deposit, today I will give you another seven times to settle it, now I will order another 10,000 pieces of soap, according to the agreement to pay one-tenth of the deposit, I will give you forty yuan, you send it to me in three days, if there is not enough manpower, I can let a few people come over to help you." Shopkeeper Lu still looked smiling.

"One... 10,000 yuan... This... How could this be done in three days. It's not a question of manpower, it's a matter of green... There aren't enough raw materials. Zheng Chen pretended to be embarrassed and didn't get angry.

Shopkeeper Lu's eyes flashed, and he heard a kind of raw material from Zheng Chen's words just now.
