065 Mending the Dead
The shrewd Qi Ming can only use the logic that he can understand to explain Sheng Jiaojiao's money-making account.
It must be because of the price of medicinal materials given by "Chen Adi", which was originally messed around, plus Sheng Jiaojiao also united Qi Erniang and Niu Ju to pour apples together
There is nothing wrong with the purchase price of this apple, but the merchant who sold apples to Sheng Jiaojiao was afraid that he would not be able to sell a large number of apples, so he sold it to Sheng Jiaojiao at a price similar to that of other counties.
It can be inferred this because Jishou County is located in the northernmost part of Osawa, and any fruit here is transported from other counties.
When the fruit is pulled to Zhishou County, it will increase the sky-high price.
In general, if you deduct various costs according to the market, Sheng Jiaojiao will lose.
That's it, whether it is medicinal herbs, side dishes or apples, Sheng Jiaojiao can still make money, it can only be said that the time and place are favorable, and she is so lucky that she is against the sky.
Qi Ming rubbed his eyebrows, flipped through the account book over and over again, and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao.
She immediately straightened her waist, blinked her eyes wide, and put on a harmless smile.
Qi Ming sighed,
"You, stupid people have stupid blessings, our family has not been tossed by you like this, your luck is good enough."
Sheng Jiaojiao, who was sitting opposite Qi Ming, simply put on a smirk,
"I don't know how to do business, I only know how to buy low and sell high, and I don't know anything about other people's capital and market conditions."
She really doesn't understand, she wasn't a minister in her previous life, she doesn't need to understand this.
In this life, the medicinal herbs, apples and side dishes that Sheng Jiaojiao sells don't cost at all, and her only cost is the wages of Qi Huan, Niu Ju, Qi Erniang, and Qi Sanniang.
That's right, Qi Erniang went to the village to sell apples door-to-door, Qi Sanniang made up the medicine field, and Sheng Jiaojiao gave them wages.
This is a private account, and it is not mixed with the public account of the house.
And the goods are "out of nothing", and others do not know about it.
So Qi Ming thought that Sheng Jiaojiao had lost.
Sheng Jiaojiao was also happy to make Qi Ming think that she was just lucky, and met Chen Adi and a merchant who had hoarded a large number of apples in his hands.
I saw her elbows propped up on the small table, her chin was supported with both hands, and Qi Ming said with full dependence:
"Then now that Brother is back, Brother, you have to think of a way, whether our family can soar or not, it all depends on Brother in the future."
"I'm back to join the army, but I don't want to pay attention to you."
Qi understood a glance at Sheng Jiaojiao, saying so, but he had already begun to reason with Sheng Jiaojiao.
Because this is a long-term business, and because it is a long-term business, there must be a charter from the beginning.
It is only supplied to the second battalion of the east and west, and the amount is not large, and it doesn't matter if it loses a little
But if you want to negotiate business with the two camps in the north and south, regardless of the relationship between relatives and relatives, the plate is bigger, and the banner is erected, then you have to have the same price for medicinal materials.
It is impossible for Sheng Jiaojiao to be close to the battalion commander of the East and West Second Battalions, that is, to sell medicinal materials indiscriminately, and the North and South Second Battalions are not very close, so they are to set a real price for medicine, right?
What's more, since there is such a good source of goods as Chen Adi, it is completely possible to expand the business, not only to supply medicinal materials to the barracks, but also to open a medicinal herb shop by yourself, and supply medicinal materials to the entire Jumping Horse Lake, or even more places.
Qi Ming's mind spun fast, and he talked to Sheng Jiaojiao about his plan.
Sheng Jiaojiao nodded again and again, only asked Qi Ming to set a price for medicinal materials, and then went to the battalion commander of the four battalions in the east, west, south and north to negotiate a long-term, fixed supply list.
She writes the contract.
"You! The book is stupid to read. ”
Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao looking like she had decided on him, Qi Ming sighed, resigned herself to her fate, and took over the matter of going to talk to the four battalion commanders in the southeast, northwest and northwest for her.
He took out a heavy package from his back.
The wrap was wrapped in blue floral cloth into an oval shape and tied tightly.
Qi Ming placed the package in front of Sheng Jiaojiao, and opened the blue floral cloth outside, revealing the neatly stacked snowflake silver ingots inside.
The silver ingots were stacked in three layers, and a stack of silver tickets was pressed at the bottom.
Seeing these things, Sheng Jiaojiao's heart jumped, she put her hands on her calves, and looked at Qi Ming.
The sound of the Qi family talking outside the window suddenly became extremely distant.
In the room, Qi Ming pushed the pile of silver ingots and silver tickets to Sheng Jiaojiao, and said:
"This is what your brother has accumulated over the years of walking the streets and alleys, since you want to do business, these will be given you capital, only allowed to earn, not lost."
Qi Ming is different from Qi Zhang, Qi Zhang's mind is on leading the troops to fight, it is very easy for him to get money, and he goes directly to rob the subject country, the soldiers and bandits are bandits, and in the actual troubled times, there is no division between soldiers and bandits.
So Qi Zhang took money to Sheng Jiaojiao to do business, no matter whether he made money or lost, he had the intention of giving money to Sheng Jiaojiao to play, and he didn't really think that Sheng Jiaojiao would make money.
But Qi Ming is different, Qi Ming is a very shrewd person, shrewd and affectionate at the same time, so he would rather not do business anymore, but also come back to join the army to defend his family and country.
So Sheng Jiaojiao wants to do business, and he is willing to let Sheng Jiaojiao do it, and even he feels that when he was a merchant before, he knew a lot of contacts, but now it is a pity to have lost those connections.
When he came back to join the army, he also intended to let Sheng Jiaojiao continue to maintain these connections, and the money he saved could be used as capital for Sheng Jiaojiao, but he had requirements for Sheng Jiaojiao.
He wants her to make money, he doesn't want her to lose money.
Sheng Jiaojiao looked at the pile of silver ingots and silver tickets in front of her, opened her lips slightly, and asked hesitantly:
"And what if I lose it all?"
"Then Brother will hang you up and beat you! Wait until you retire and earn back all the money you lost. ”
When he said this, Qi Ming pretended to grin viciously, revealing his two tiger teeth.
This look, far from being lethal, seems to be a bit bluffing.
Sheng Jiaojiao couldn't help but laugh "poof".
She got up, straightened up her skirt, and blessed Qi Mingyingying,
"I will live up to my brother's expectations."
Although Sheng Jiaojiao had a noble status in her previous life, she had never been in business, and she had never had close contact with businessmen with low status.
But she has one advantage that no one else has, that is, she can "make something out of nothing" that grows in all the fields.
Because she's a water ghost.
So she can sell the things in her hand indiscriminately, and she won't lose any way anyway.
Qi Ming left the silver ingot and silver ticket with a satisfied face and got up and left.
As soon as Qi Ming walked out of her room, the first thing Sheng Jiaojiao did was to take out a pen and paper and start writing a letter to Chen Adi.
Her letter was written very long, and it took a lot of space to describe the tense atmosphere in the north of Zhishou County, and it also used a lot of space to describe the plight of the soldiers on the border who lacked clothes and medicine.
In the end, he used a lot of words to praise Chen Adi's pride and righteousness that did not lose her son.
In the end, Sheng Jiaojiao said about the girls in Daze now, the situation and helplessness of being women, obviously thinking about the world, but they can only accept the fate of not going out of the door.
obviously has the ambition to do a shocking career, but he can only be locked in the door of the mansion, teaching his husband and children every day, and competing with his aunts and jealousy.
As a woman, what a pity.
Come on, bravely break free from this shackle, let us together, use our own strength, for the border soldiers, do what we can!
This letter was written with pride, and the most literary people in later generations read it, and they couldn't help but be passionate about Sheng Jiaojiao's letter.
So the content of this letter, in short, is to hope that Chen Adi can find a way to supply medicinal materials to Sheng Jiaojiao!
In her previous life, Sheng Jiaojiao knew Chen Adi, and she was extremely eager to make contributions on the battlefield and defend her family and country like her son.
As long as she can do something for the frontier soldiers, Chen Adi must be the one at the forefront.
Regarding her temperament, Chen Xiong is also quite helpless, but there is no way, Chen Xiong is such a daughter, she can only be so accustomed to protecting her all her life, and doing her best to meet all the whimsical and heroic ambitions of Chen Adi.
Sheng Jiaojiao hadn't expected it before, Qi Ming was not easy to fool like this.
The lies she used to tell everyone in the past were perfunctory to her second brother Qi Ming.
So Sheng Jiaojiao wrote to Chen Adi, which can be regarded as making amends for her lies.
Fortunately, she was able to get over this panic, she and Chen Adi got close in her last life, although Chen Adi is the daughter of a businessman, but she also has a meritorious role in the community, and she can be regarded as a person in the post-party, so she is often called into the palace by Sheng Jiaojiao to talk.
She knew how she should state one thing, which could impress Chen Adi and let Chen Adi supply medicinal materials to Sheng Jiaojiao.
I also clearly remember that Chen Adi has reported many times that Chen Adi lived in Zhishou County at her address.
Therefore, Sheng Jiaojiao was able to write a letter to Chen Adi, and guaranteed that after Chen Adi saw the letter, she would be inspired by the content of her letter and make an irrational choice
So as to firmly contribute to the border soldiers and contribute their meager strength.
The letter was sent by Niu Ju and sent to the post station in Jumping Horse Lake on horseback.
Just when the people in the north of the county ran to the south of the county, Sheng Jiaojiao became more and more reluctant to leave Loess Village and went outside.
All the things she does now are entrusted to others, and the day when the abolished princess chooses a wife for Yin Ze is getting closer and closer, the more reluctant Sheng Jiaojiao is to go out and show her face.
It was two days after sending Chen Adi's letter that Qi Ming, who went to the barracks to join the army, directly invited Tan Ji from the East Camp, Qi Zhang from the West Camp, Qin Wa from the North Camp, and Bai Tao from the South Camp to the home to eat and drink.
Sheng Jiaojiao had just returned from pouring water from the earthen col and carried the clay pot into the backyard when she heard the voice of a man talking in the front yard.
Zhou, who was supposed to work in the field, was cutting vegetables in the backyard, Qi Erniang went out to sell apples, Qi Sanniang was serving medicinal herbs in the medicine field, and Qi Huan actually went to pick apples under the pretext of practicing swords.
Seeing Sheng Jiaojiao standing by the clod of soil in the backyard in confusion, Zhou beckoned to Sheng Jiaojiao, pointed to the front yard, and said:
"Your second brother is going to have a banquet for the four battalion commanders of Jumping Horse Lake today, saying that he wants to talk about the supply of medicinal herbs, and he will come to help quickly."
These four battalion commanders have nothing to avoid, Qin Wa is nearly forty years old and is Qi Zhang's master, and Bai Tao is Qi Ming's uncle.
Not to mention Tan Ji, who is already very familiar with Sheng Jiaojiao.
So Sheng Jiaojiao doesn't have to avoid people.
She listened to Zhou's words, approached the water tank, unloaded the clay jar behind it, helped bring the vegetables in the wooden basin to the edge of the water tank, and began to wash the vegetables.
It seemed that Qi Ming wanted to negotiate things all at once, so he set up a table in the stove house, and asked the family to fry a few more dishes, and there were several jars of wine in the yard.
Sheng Jiaojiao took a pot of vegetables into the stove house, and the Zhou family had already begun to cut bacon, which Qi Ming had brought back from outside.
He really brought back a lot of good things this time, and it is said that he also brought back a lot of Jin Guo's farming fertilizer, called "Farming Treasure", which is said to be the best fertilizer sold by Jin Guo.
But Qi Sanniang was very happy.
That's an authentic farming treasure.
Bacon also brought back a lot.
Sheng Jiaojiao watched Zhou's cut the bacon on the cutting board one by one, and couldn't help but look up at the beams of the stove house, which were already densely covered with all kinds of bacon.
Originally, the Qi family couldn't eat a lot of bacon, and Qi Hua would collect some bacon from the village and come back, but as soon as Qi Ming came back, he brought a lot of bacon, and a lot of bacon could not be hung up, so he could only hang it on the beam of the hall.
Several battalion commanders ate and drank in the stove house, and in the earthen house, the light was not very bright, Bai Tao began to joke about Qi Zhang, and only listened to him:
"Your Erlang came back, and the countrymen didn't kill a few, so they directly gave you a post, what's the matter, when you go back to your own house, it's like going to the meeting with a single knife, what do you think?"
Qi Zhang took a sip of wine, just laughing, he did pick up Qi Ming's post today, so he made a special trip home.
So this is not considered to be Xiu Mu's homecoming, this is for the baggage of the four military camps in Jumping Horse Lake to go to Qi Ming's appointment.
Sheng Jiaojiao put the washed wooden basin in Zhou's hand, raised her arm, tied the long hair at the back of her head again, sat on the edge of the stove with her skirt, and filled it with feces.
She never went to see Tan Ji.
But she can clearly feel that Tan Ji exists.
The sound of Zhou's chopping vegetables sounded, and Qi Ming began to talk about the medicinal herbs.
Regarding the supply of medicinal materials, Sheng Jiaojiao had told Tan Ji and Qi Zhang before, and she was a pharmacist known to Qi Ming.
And during the days when Qi Ming came back, Qi Hua would send medicine to Xiying and Dongying every day, and the quality of this medicinal material, Tan Ji and Qi Zhang had seen it, which was quite good.
It's just that Sheng Jiaojiao didn't say a specific price for the medicine, so Tan Ji and Qi Zhang both let the military doctors in their barracks take the idea.
has always given more and less, and there is no fixed number.
"Since it's a long-term business, it's not good to teach the pharmacist I know to keep sticking money."
Qi Ming said the reason, and then quoted a price for the medicine, Qi Zhang and Tan Ji had no opinion, the price was very reasonable, even if they took the money and went outside to buy medicinal materials, they were afraid that it would be much more expensive than the price of the medicine.
