Chapter 118: Rush to buy
"Finished?" The head of the Cui family glanced at him coldly.
"Say...... It's over......" The shopkeeper was stunned and replied tremblingly.
"What are you waiting for if you don't roll?!" The head of the Cui family roared: "Are you still waiting for the old man to send you out!" β
"Get out, get out of here......"
The shopkeeper was almost frightened, and immediately crawled out......
The head of the Cui family secretly took a sip.
Bah!
I'm angry when I see your unlucky face!
"Fine salt as white as snow, without any peculiar smell......" After sitting back on the chair, the head of the Cui family lightly tapped the table with his fingers: "This is not good news......
Although the Cui family has many industries, the most fundamental thing is this salt.
It can be said that more than half of the Cui family's income comes from salt.
The sudden appearance of better quality salt was enough to threaten them......
What he cares about most now is how many goods the other party has.
If you get some by chance, it's better to say.
If there's a constant supply of goods, that's bad......
"The other party sells in limited quantities, so there must not be many goods in hand......" Cui Jiang whispered.
"On the surface, it does." The head of the family frowned and said, "But if that's the case, why do they want to sell it at a low price?" With the quality of this snow salt, even if it is more expensive, I am afraid that it is not ugly and cannot be sold, right? β
"This ......" Cui Jiang said: "Why don't we lower the price?" β
It is certain that today's events will soon spread throughout Chang'an City.
When the time comes, if you have a normal brain, you will definitely not buy their Cui family's salt anymore.
Reducing prices seems to be the only way at the moment.
"Can't fall!" The head of the family shook his head and said: "Before, we said to the outside world that the price was raised only because of the loss caused by the accident in Yanjing, and now the price reduction will damage the reputation." β
"In this way, arrange for someone to go early these days and buy all their fine salt!" The head of the house said as his fingers tapped lightly on the table: "Then arrange for some spirits to go to the vicinity of that salt shop to squat." β
"What do you mean, ...... master?" Cui Jiang seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up suddenly.
"This batch of fine salt is definitely just arrived in Chang'an City...... "The head of the house replied: "I suspect that the salt shop was lucky to meet some kind of businessman, this matter must be investigated!" β
"If that's really the case......" Speaking of this, the head of the Cui family squinted: "When the time comes, let's just grab this way!" β
"I'll do it!" Cui Jiang answered and left.
Looking out of the door, the head of the Cui family clenched his fists fiercely.
If it was really the salt brought by the merchants, then things would be easier to do.
He had even figured out that it would not matter if he spent a little more money at first.
When this road is completely in your own hands, the price of this fine salt will not be set arbitrarily at that time?
At that time, those rich people in Chang'an City will definitely be willing to untie their purses!
As for the ordinary people?
A bunch of untouchables are just poor, who cares if they live or die?!
Following.
As soon as the bell of the end of the curfew rang for me, someone hurried towards the salt shop.
When they ran over, they realized that someone had arrived before them......
Looking at this amount, it is still unknown whether I can buy snow salt today......
Time passed, and more and more people appeared.
In fact, they are somewhat lucky.
According to their thinking, the salt shop business was so good yesterday, so today you need to stock up on some goods, right?
Although I don't dare to ask for an unlimited supply, how can I not put it like yesterday?
After all, if you do business, how can there be a reason to refuse customers?
People are like that.
They tend to think about how things are going in their own favor.
The waiting process is long.
Especially in the early morning of this winter......
Boredom is one thing, the key is that he's cold!
Now that the coal stoves and kang in Chang'an City are basically popular, if there is really no way, who is especially willing to come out to find this kind of favorite!
How fragrant it is to lie in the quilt with your mother-in-law in your arms!
People usually like to find something to do when they are bored, so some people in line start looking at each other.
As he looked at it, he began to stare wide-eyed......
Get out of here, these damn guys!
Fuck off, I have a good chance of getting snow salt!
Well......
The people's thinking is so simple and simple......
The queue is still growing.
Some of them saw that there were too many people, shook their heads and left.
It wasn't until nine o'clock in the morning that the shopkeeper of the salt shop appeared.
The shopkeeper of the salt shop will be in a good mood.
The proprietor specially explained that the door would not open until after 9 o'clock in the morning.
It's for him. Undoubtedly good news.
On a cold day, you can sleep in the warm bed, and there is nothing more pleasant in the world!
Especially this ondol, it's really a good thing!
Since sleeping with this thing, my old cold legs have been reduced a lot!
Our Majesty is so powerful that he can make such a magical thing!
In fact, the shopkeeper's idea is similar to that of the vast majority of people in Datang.
They don't care if Li Shimin made this kang out by himself, or even if they knew, they didn't care.
Cao Ze, the mastermind behind the scenes, did not show up, then this fire kang was made by Li Shimin!
In their opinion, it is just a word.
The kang is a good thing, and Your Majesty is a good emperor who thinks about the people!
Because of this, Chang'an City has a lot less criticism about Xuanwu Gate.
The shopkeeper of the salt shop is cool, but these people waiting in line are completely miserable.
The boring waiting is actually nothing, the key is the fucking cold!
From shivering before dawn to now, people are about to be frozen into stupidity......
Thereupon......
Hulaββ!
As soon as the shopkeeper's front foot opened the door, everyone rushed in!
After all, there is a coal stove in the salt shop.
"Please line up and buy." The shopkeeper hurriedly shouted: "If there are malicious queue cutters and disruptors, the store will refuse to sell snow salt to them." β
"Shopkeeper, we just want to come in and warm up."
"yes, it's cold outside."
"The shopkeeper will do the trick."
β¦β¦
Speaking of which, this is also human nature, and the shopkeeper understands it.
Or rather......
There was a preparation at all.
With a look from the shopkeeper, the guys immediately began to get busy.
These guys slept in the salt shop at night, and had been watching in the house for a long time just now.
"Please come and get the number in the order you just lined up." One of the workers shouted, "I'll buy them in the order they received the numbers." β
Soon, the first man received his number.
The man looked curiously.
The so-called number is actually a piece of bamboo with words written on it.
One is written on the top, and there is a number 1 below.
What made him most curious was the layer of things that covered the surface of the bamboo slices.
It feels a bit like cloth, but it's transparent......
After the last number plate was issued, the organizer shouted to the others: "Today's amount has been distributed, and those of you who haven't received the number plate will come back tomorrow." β
