Since Tai Shenglong didn't like her little business, it was useless to say more, Xiao Jinyue took the second steward and fennel, and left Tai Shenglong.

After getting into the carriage, Fennel looked angry, "Girl, Taishenglong is such a big business, and the cane sugar that is transported into Beijing every year may be more than 100 stones, why is it so unreasonable and unwilling to give us a part." We didn't ask for it in vain, we didn't want to buy it with them with real money. ”

The second steward was also disappointed on horseback.

Xiao Jinyue was not disappointed and sad, she had expected that the trip would not be too smooth.

In this era, the yield of cane sugar is low, which is not only a precious commodity for the common people, but also very scarce in the eyes of hundreds of officials and nobles.

It can even be said to be a status symbol.

Whatever it is, once it is brought to the palace as a tribute, it becomes a status symbol.

In the palace, up to the emperor, the queen mother, concubines, princesses and princesses all own, those royal mansions, prime minister's mansions, national mansions and other noble families will naturally follow the trend and buy.

At a glance, the hundreds of officials below, whether it is the emperor or the important ministers and nobles, how can they be less?

Whatever it is, grab it first.

Otherwise, everyone has it in the house, but you don't, and you are embarrassed to go out of the house and get together with others.

Under such an upward and downward effect, everyone naturally snaps up to buy.

Under such circumstances, how can sucrose not be in short supply, and its yield is already low.

The identity of the proprietor behind Tai Shenglong must not be low, Xiao Jinyue is just an official lady with an unknown name, they naturally don't look at it, even if there is more cane sugar, why should they sell it to them.

The east family can't do it, isn't there still the west family?

Xiao Jinyue said lightly, "Let's go, Taishenglong didn't talk about success, so let's go to Jinyuanzheng to have a look." ”

The Kim Yuen Zheng firm is not located on Changqing Street, but on Zhengshi Street, which is five blocks away.

Xiao Jinyue lifted the corner of the curtain to observe carefully, and found that along the way, although there are many shops of various shops on Zhengshi Street, it is obviously not as prosperous as Changqing Street.

Even the scale of the Kim Yuan Zheng firm is inferior to that of Tai Sheng Long.

Seeing Xiao Jinyue and his party coming in, a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old came over lazily and asked them what was the matter.

The second steward stepped forward to talk to him with a smile, and also stuffed a purse into it without a trace.

The young man unceremoniously took the purse and stuffed it into his sleeve without saying a word.

But when the second steward said that he wanted to talk to their chief steward about business, the young man immediately said with a cold face, "Our big shopkeeper is not in the firm." ”

Throwing down this sentence, the young man turned around and left.

The second steward frowned, and the next moment he gritted his teeth and took another purse to chase after him.

After saying a lot of good things, the young man took Xiao Jinyue and his party to the flower hall, coldly threw down the sentence "Wait", turned around and left.

I waited for half an hour.

The second steward wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the door from time to time, but he was surprised by the calmness of the second girl.

Xiao Jinyue has guessed from the attitude of the little buddy that it is estimated that there will be waiting.

It was boring to sit still, and she simply memorized various medical scriptures and pharmacopoeias in her heart.

I don't know how many times the tea was changed, but the young man appeared again, ready to take them to the shopkeeper.

Out of the flower hall, around the corner, a little girl in Tsing Yi rushed over and almost hit Xiao Jinyue.

Fortunately, she had been secretly paying attention to her surroundings, and Xiao Jinyue turned sideways and avoided it.

The little maid lowered her head and apologized to Xiao Jinyue in panic.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at it casually, but it was just a little girl, and when she saw that the other party had been lowering her head, she was about to cry when she heard the voice.

Speechless for a moment, she hadn't said anything yet, as for being scared like this?

Afraid that the other party would really cry, Xiao Jinyue had no choice but to wave her hand and say softly, "It's okay, you didn't hit me, go down." ”

The little girl was like being pardoned, raised her hand to half-cover her face, and hurriedly retreated.

A small accident, Xiao Jinyue didn't take it seriously, and continued to walk forward after the little guy.

Instead, he followed the fennel behind him, twisted his eyebrows and glanced back in the direction where the little girl ran away.

But in her heart, she was muttering, that little maid seemed to be a little familiar, she seemed to have seen it somewhere.

I thought about it in my head for a while, but I didn't remember it.

Although there was a little doubt in her heart, the little maid didn't bump into her own girl in the end, but she walked faster, maybe there was something urgent, and it was not strange that she didn't care about looking at the road in a hurry.

Fennel left the little maid behind, and turned her head to see that her girl had gone away, so she had to follow quickly.

took Xiao Jinyue and the others into a small courtyard behind the business, and the young man who led the way stopped and pointed to the front, "Our big shopkeeper is waiting in that private room, you can go in by yourself, I still have something to do." ”

Fennel looked surprised, "Didn't you say that your big shopkeeper is not in the firm?" ”

The young man said impatiently, "Just came back." ”

Xiao Jinyue glanced at the back of the young man who was far away, and walked towards the elegant room with his feet raised.

Jin Yuanzheng's eldest shopkeeper was about fifty years old, slightly chubby, and when he saw Xiao Jinyue's girl's house walking in front, his face was slightly stunned, and he soon returned to normal.

I didn't expect that it would be such a young girl who wanted to talk to him about business.

Motioned for Xiao Jinyue to sit down, and after the maid served tea, they exchanged a few words of greeting, and the big shopkeeper said gently, "I don't know what the girl wants to talk to?" ”

Xiao Jinyue saw him ask bluntly, but she was in the right place, and she didn't want to beat around the bush, so she directly explained her intentions, "I heard that your business has cane sugar, I want to open a sugar store, I wonder if the big shopkeeper can give me some goods?" ”

The big shopkeeper shook his head, "You're late, our firm's goods have already been delivered." ”

As expected, Xiao Jinyue was not surprised, "Big shopkeeper, when will the next batch of goods arrive, and if there are many, can a part of it be evened out?" ”

The big shopkeeper pondered for a moment before saying, "Yes, yes, there is ......."

Xiao Jinyue was listening intently, but the young man who led the way just now hurriedly walked in and said loudly, "Big shopkeeper, the big girl has something urgent to find you, let you go over immediately." ”

The big shopkeeper frowned, then returned to normal, and hurriedly said to Xiao Jinyue, "The girl will sit down for a while, and she will come when she goes down." ”

People are in a hurry, so it is naturally difficult to stop them, Xiao Jinyue said gently to him, "It's okay, the big shopkeeper has to go ahead and be busy." ”

Jin Yuanzheng's shopkeeper left in a hurry, and the second steward said with a smile on his face, "Second girl, the big shopkeeper should agree to give us the next batch of goods, right?" ”

Although there is no goods now, it is a pity, but there is no way to do it, so I can only wait for the next batch of goods.

As long as Jin Yuanzheng is willing to supply his own goods, it will be delayed, anyway, this business will not be able to start in a moment, and there are still many things to be done.

The big shopkeeper was interrupted by the young man before he finished speaking, and he hadn't even skimmed the eight characters, so it was too early to be happy.

Xiao Jinyue shook her head and said lightly, "Before the contract is signed, everything is unknown. ”
