Chapter Forty-Seven: Turning the Clouds and Rain
Glutinous rice is not a rigid need, it is a seasonal food. During the Dragon Boat Festival, every household will purchase some glutinous rice and make it into zongzi or rice cakes. But zongzi doesn't have to be made with glutinous rice, you can also use rhubarb rice.
The southern region will make more tricks, and some people will use glutinous rice to make wine, but that is a niche behavior, so the consumption of glutinous rice is actually very limited.
The most important thing is that compared with other grains, glutinous rice has a higher degree of freshness requirements, and fresh glutinous rice is soft and delicious, with a fresh fragrance. Chen glutinous rice will have a smell of dust, people eat glutinous rice itself is a little fresh mood, who would eat old rice so badly?
Tan Xinren's forehead was sweating, he didn't know what Zhang Tianci was going to do when he bought glutinous rice, but he was just speculating about Xiao Feng's word measurement method, and decided that this must be a profitable business like sorghum. Unexpectedly, Xiao Feng deliberately set a trap!
Looking back now, I learned that the news of Zhang Tianci's purchase of glutinous rice was also from Chunyan Tower. It was because he heard that Xiao Feng measured Zhang Tianci's characters in Chunyan Building, and then Zhang Tianci went to other places, so he sent people around to track Zhang Tianci's actions, and only then did he learn that Zhang Tianci bought glutinous rice.
So the question is, Xiao Feng doesn't like serious women, why do you have to go to Chunyan Tower to test Zhang Tianci's words? Is it really to see the mother?
That's right, Xiao Feng's unique taste has become well-known in the capital and has become a talking point among the upper class. Even Jiajing heard about it, he just smiled faintly and said to Huang Jin: "Cultivators like me, even if they are interested in women, they are also looking for a cultivation furnace, as for whether they are young and beautiful, it doesn't matter, it can be seen that Xiao Feng is a Taoist person." ”
Huang Jin thought about the young and beautiful girls in the West Garden, and praised him against his will: "Long live Shengming." ”
It's a pity that Tan Xinren is not in the mood to ridicule Xiao Feng's unique taste at the moment, he thinks about it together, and knows that he has fallen into Xiao Feng's trap. Zhang Tianci didn't want to buy glutinous rice at all, he just used that deposit to make a big deal.
If Tan Xinren was not fooled, Zhang Tianci would only perform a small part of the contract, at the cost of losing a deposit, at most a small compensation. But Tan Xinren was fooled and spent nearly ten times the liquidated damages to support merchants and farmers to terminate their contracts with Zhang Tianci, so Zhang Tianci directly made a big profit.
Now the problem is on my side, should I fully fulfill the contract, or give up most of the deposit and only buy a little glutinous rice according to the annual amount?
As a savvy businessman, this question hardly needs to be considered. Even if you give up most of the deposit, you can afford it by gritting your teeth. But if you buy these glutinous rice at full price and come back, not only will it occupy the warehouse, but if you can't sell it, you can only deal with it at a big price, and you will definitely lose more!
Tan Xinren sent Miss Yun away, and immediately sent someone to call the shopkeeper of Shengshi Grain Bank: "The glutinous rice can't be collected, stop it immediately!" ”
The shopkeeper blinked: "The owner, the contract will be executed in these two days, if the contract is not executed, it will be invalidated, and the deposit will be gone!" ”
Tan Xinren waved his hand: "The pattern is small!" What is that deposit, if the glutinous rice is recovered and paid at full price, the loss will be much greater! ”
The shopkeeper asked in confusion: "Owner, doesn't it mean that this business must make money?" The liquidated damages we paid to Zhang Tianci are a lot of money, if we don't earn it back on glutinous rice, our grain bank will lose money this year! ”
Tan Xinren's face turned red, and he became angry: "A loss is also a loss of my money, just do as I say!" ”
The shopkeeper didn't dare to say any more, so he had to quit and return to the grain store and tell the guys dejectedly: "At the end of this year, don't think about any happy noodles, the grain store will definitely lose money." ”
The guys are in a hurry, although the grain bank is all the owner, from the shopkeeper to the guys, the "happy noodles" at the end of the year are equivalent to the bonuses of later generations, and they all depend on performance. If the grain bank loses, this year will be in vain!
Everyone shouted around the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper slapped the table: "Fart, how much money do you have?" Lao Tzu's loss alone is greater than all of you combined! Let's steal the fun, the owner has a lot of capital, at least the grain store will not go out of business, and you still have work to do. Such a big hole, if it were placed in an ordinary grain store, it would go out of business at once! ”
Xiao Feng was drinking with Zhang Tianci in the courtyard, according to Zhang Tianci's meaning, he had made such a big sum this time, he should go to the best Qinglou, no, the restaurant set a table to celebrate. Xiao Feng was reluctant to publicize it, he was really injured when he drank in the hotel in his previous life, and the shadow has continued until now.
Xiao Feng's favorite atmosphere is that the family gathers around the table, a few home-cooked dishes, preferably one of which is an appetizer. Then blanch two taels of wine, drink slowly, and look at the wife and children talking and laughing, that is the real happiness.
It's a pity that although Zhang Tianci repeatedly said that he was not an outsider, Qiao Niang still refused to eat together. Qiao Niang is very strict with her slave status, and she will never change it because of the decline or rise of her family. The last time I went to a restaurant to eat, it was reasonable, but it would never be okay to be a foreigner at home. Xiao Feng had no choice but to work slowly and slowly change her mentality.
It's Qiaoqiao's young age, and Qiaoniang also feels sorry for her since she was a child, and she doesn't want to be too wronged by her. Xiao Feng didn't have a master's shelf, so if Qiaoqiao was put on the table, Qiaoniang didn't stop him.
Zhang Tianci was half drunk, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms: "Big brother, this is half of the money earned this time, you can take it." ”
Xiao Feng waved his hand: "Put it away, it will be used soon." ”
Zhang Tianci was stunned: "Do you want to use so much?" What kind of business do you do? ”
Xiao Feng drank a glass of wine, Qiaoqiao immediately picked up the wine jug and filled it, Xiao Feng looked at Qiaoqiao dotingly and smiled: "You say goodbye to your mother and daughter tonight, and you will have to go out in the morning." After Tan Xinren gets the news that you spread in Chunyan Tower, he will inevitably breach the contract. Although the merchants and farmers got two deposits for nothing, they still had to sell the glutinous rice. ”
Zhang Tianci nodded again and again: "That's that, especially the farmers, even if you give him the full price and let him rot the glutinous rice at home, they will never will." My ancestors also came from farming, and farmers are such people. ”
Xiao Feng said in a low voice: "But since they have already got two deposits, they won't care too much about the price of glutinous rice." Talking about Xinren's breach of contract, they must be in a hurry and will be willing to sell rice at a lower price. You go back immediately, wait for Tan Xinren's contract to expire and breach, and then go over again to make a deposit and receive rice. ”
Zhang Tianci was stunned by this commotion operation, he didn't drink the wine in his hand for a long time, and opened his mouth wide: "Big brother, do we really want to buy glutinous rice?" ”
Xiao Feng nodded: "Buy, the word for the test is to let you buy glutinous rice." Tossing in the middle this time is just a means for me to deal with Tan Xinren. If you really want to make a fortune, you have to rely on selling rice, which is the true meaning of that word test. ”
Zhang Tianci stopped talking nonsense, drank it all, stood up and saluted Xiao Feng: "Big brother, so the little brother will go home first." ”
Xiao Feng looked at Zhang Tianci's back, turned around and smiled at Qiao Niang: "Zhang Tianci is gone, come over for dinner!" ”
