Shopkeeper Luo's eyes lit up when he saw the red pepper, so he quickly took the red pepper, broke it and put it to his mouth and bit it, which was really spicy. The taste is different from that of dried chili peppers, but Shopkeeper Luo has always been the shopkeeper of Juhualou, and his eyesight is naturally very good.

"Sure enough, it's chili." Shopkeeper Luo smiled, but secretly regretted that he had just said the price he bought in the capital, and soon Shopkeeper Luo came back to his senses, and he had chili peppers in his hand, so he naturally understood the price of chili peppers, even if he didn't say it, the other party also knew.

Li Yuanqing picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, but was stopped by Liu Kui.

Liu Kui took out the silver needle, and after checking that there was no poison, he handed it to Li Yuanqing, "Childe, you use tea." ”

Li Yuanqing took it and took a sip.

When Shopkeeper Luo saw the interaction between Liu Kui and Li Yuanqing, he guessed that this was not a son from an ordinary family. Although it is rough, it is not vulgar, "Li Gongzi wait a moment, this kind of business is not something that I can talk about as a shopkeeper." Please move upstairs, I have already sent someone to ask for the owner. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded and smiled, "There is a Shopkeeper Lauro." ”

Shopkeeper Luo personally led Li Yuanqing and Liu Kui to the box upstairs, and asked the shopkeeper to make good tea and send them in.

Just after Li Yuanqing drank a good tea, the shopkeeper came in with Luo Dongjia.

Shopkeeper Luo introduced, "Childe, this is our owner; The owner, this is Li Gongzi, who grows chili peppers at home. ”

Luo Dongjia looked at Li Yuanqing, looked carefully, he hadn't seen it, he didn't know Li Yuanqing's background, and he became more and more polite, "Li Gongzi, I actually grow chili peppers at home, which is really admirable." ”

The shopkeeper Luo asked the shopkeeper to bring a few handfuls of chili peppers down, and asked the chef to replace the dogwood with chili peppers to make some spicy dishes.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Luo Dongjia has won the award, I heard that you also bought dried chili peppers last year, and there are seeds in it, presumably Luo Dongjia also planted a lot." ”

When Luo Dongjia heard this, he was not polite, smiled, grabbed a handful of red peppers from the basket, and couldn't put them down, "I planted some, but not as good as the peppers planted by Li Gongzi." ”

Hearing this, Li Yuanqing's expression was indifferent, "Luo Dongjia has won the award, since Luo Dongjia knows chili peppers and knows the price of chili peppers, then Li will not go around in circles, how much is the right amount of chili peppers?" ”

Luo Dongjia was thinking about it, although the chili peppers grown by his family did not grow as well as Li Gongzi's chili peppers, they also had a spicy taste, and they were enough to make dishes for the entire Juhua Building, and he didn't think about selling these chili peppers.

But now seeing Li Gongzi's appearance of a mountain of chili peppers at home, Luo Dongjia thought a little more.

The Luo family not only has the property of Juhualou, but also the Luo family firm.

The Luo family transported the surplus cattle, sheep, horses or furs from the frontier to the Central Plains or the capital in Guannai, and then transported the good things of the capital or other big cities to the cities in the northwest.

This business is the most profitable for the Luo family.

If there were enough chili peppers, he could also sell them to other places through the Luo family caravan.

After Luo Dongjia carefully inspected it, he smiled, "Li Gongzi's chili pepper is naturally good." This chili pepper is a thing in Fanbang, Luo Mou also inquired before, this is sold to the capital by the Gu family of Xunyang Mansion, and then checked further, only to know that it is a village called Jixiang Village that was the first to use the seeds of Fanbang to grow such a high-quality chili pepper. ”

"The local sales of 30 wen a catty, five catties of fresh chili peppers can be dried a catty of dried chili peppers, transported to the capital, the price of dried chili peppers is three taels of silver a catty, and the profit is as high as ten times. This is still the price after the cost has been removed. Li Gongzi knows the price, and I don't go around in circles. ”

"This year is the second year of planting chili peppers, Li Gongzi can grow them, and other places will also grow them, and the price will definitely not be as high as the Gu family's sale. Therefore, Luo offered 100 yuan a pound of fresh chili peppers and 600 yuan a pound of dried chili peppers. ”

Li Yuanqing was shocked when he heard the bid of the shopkeeper Luo, this price is quite good!

One acre of chili pepper can produce 2,000 catties, and it can be sold for 200 taels of silver.

He planted about 100 acres of land this year, and he could earn 20,000 taels of silver.

Although he had never done business before, he had also seen how Liu Paner negotiated the price, of course, it couldn't be that the other party would accept as much as the price said, and of course he had to raise the price.

Li Yuanqing smiled, his eyes were calm, "Shopkeeper Luo, I also said that last year, these chili peppers were sold in the capital for three taels of silver and a pound of dried chili peppers. Shipping from the capital to the northwest, the price will increase. Even if you can buy it from Jixiang Town this year, the price will not be low, and then dry and ship it to the northwest, it will definitely not be the only price for me. ”

"Besides, look at it, my chili pepper grows big and long, and it is full of spiciness, incomparably fragrant, and the quality is not worse than the chili pepper in Xunyang Mansion. Luo Dongjia sold these peppers elsewhere, and they were able to sell them for a high price. Although there will be people planting in other places this year, there are so many cities in Dazhou, and these peppers are still a minority after all. The price has doubled, and my family's 100 acres of peppers are all yours. ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Luo felt a pain in his flesh, the price after doubling was too expensive, with a bitter face, he sighed, "Shipping to other places, the price can be doubled, but the loss and manpower and material resources on the road also cost a lot of money." The price that Luo gave you just now was already very high, and now you have to double it, and I will ship it to other places, and I won't make much money. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, how could he earn less?

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Shopkeeper Luo, this year's dried chili peppers, you can sell them at a high price in these northwest states, even if you sell them for three taels of silver, you can do it." No matter how much manpower and material resources are used for transportation, is it still more expensive than twice the price? ”

"Li just has important things to do, and he doesn't have time to deal with these moments. If the Luo Dong family is unwilling, then I can only send my subordinates to sell chili peppers in the northwest cities. Although it takes a bit of work, the price is very high, and it definitely makes more money than if I sold it all to you directly. ”

As soon as he heard this, Luo Dongjia knew that Li Yuanqing was bargaining, but if he didn't raise the price, Li Yuanqing would definitely not sell it to him. It's okay to increase the price, but it can't be doubled!

"Li Gongzi, the price has increased by fifty percent on the original basis, and the price of doubling is too high." Luo Dongjia thought about it, and then counteroffered, hoping to suppress the price.

If you press it down a little, he will be able to earn a little more.

At this time, the shopkeeper held four dishes, fried meat with chili peppers, beef with green chili revenge, scrambled eggs with green and red peppers, and fried bean sprouts with chili peppers. The other shopkeeper was carrying a small basket of freshly baked crepes.

Li Yuanqing saw that the food was coming, "Luo Dongjia, it's time for dinner, let's try the food!" ”

Li Yuanqing and Shopkeeper Luo washed their hands, and Liu Kui had already tried the dish with a silver needle to make sure that it was not poisonous.

The burrito is fried with green and red peppers, the taste is amazing, spicy and fragrant. There are several dishes, all of which are perfect for burritos.
