Chapter 94 How Much Can You Make Seafood in Chang'an?
"Oh, I met him at that little market on West Street." Tang Zangyue opened up and said: "At that time, I saw that Xiaoyi suffered a loss, and out of humanitarianism, I stepped forward to help relieve the siege, so I had this fate." Then he invited me to his house, and when he heard about the difficulties I mentioned, he recommended you to me...... But is it inconvenient? ”
Brother Chen: "You allow me to think about it for a few days." ”
Tang Zangyue is naturally fine.
"Of course. It's just that I will stay in Chang'an for a maximum of a few days, Brother Chen and reply to Tang as soon as possible? Tang Zangyue hesitated and said: "If it doesn't work, you can pay twenty-five taels in the future, and if it is done, there will be one hundred taels of thanks." ”
One hundred taels!
Brother Chen's pupils shrank.
The children in the family are at the age of their relatives, and the yard at home is not enough to live, so they can only buy a yard. How expensive is land in Chang'an? Even if it's a betrayal...... and the silver taels that I received were much worse.
Brother Chen's eyes sank and said, "Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow." I don't know where Brother Tang lives? ”
"Fortune Inn."
On the way to leave, Tang Zangyue recalled the other party's reaction.
When mentioning Xiao Yi, both he and the woman had a wary look at her, obviously being a thief and worried about her origin.
But when it comes to pay, the man's reaction is somewhat unusual.
It turned out to be for money.
Tang Zangyue gathered her mind and prepared to eat the things from other stalls.
On the first day I came to Chang'an, I ate wontons. I ate noodles yesterday, and I'm going to try rice noodles today.
Chang'an's rice noodles are as thick as a thumb, which is equivalent to potato flour in later generations, and Tang Zangyue is not very used to eating them. She is still used to the thickness of snail noodles or Mianyang rice noodles.
But the taste is not bad, with shredded sauerkraut and meat in it, you can see oil flowers on the surface.
……
Brother Chen, on his side, mentioned the matter to Sister-in-law Chen, and the latter's eyes were shining, "Why don't you earn money if you have money?" Besides, the silver is not low......"
"I'll go to the market he said first."
"Blind toss." Sister-in-law Chen complained, but did not stop his behavior.
Just in case.
Although their family has benefited from this kind of bad thing, but if it is her, who wants her own mother's life, she doesn't know, and she can't fight with this person? Even if this person was a friend of life and death with him before.
I'm afraid that this brother surnamed Tang came to find fault and test after Xiao Yi learned the truth.
The scene of Tang Zangyue and Xiao Yi's "first" acquaintance was seen by many people, and Brother Chen soon found out.
The pork seller on West Street and Brother Chen were familiar with each other, and repeated the scene of that day vividly, and at the end, he said: "That merchant can speak well, and at first glance, he has read books before, and he has ink on his belly." At that time, I really couldn't stand it anymore to go to the chivalrous battle, if he hadn't appeared, I would have almost been deceived by the voices around me and the poor old man! No, someone came to trouble the old man today, so the old man cleaned up the stall directly, and he didn't dare to do business......
He deserves it! said that the rabbit with one male and one female, gave a price of 400 Wen, and obviously slaughtered the guest officer, and he still had to choose two male rabbits for the guest officer! How does this make someone else raise a bunny cub?
Later, I heard that the old man had done the same business in East Street, and it was not until the East side became famous that he moved to West Street. Isn't the purpose just to prevent more and more rabbits from having no business to do?
Phew, this black-hearted thing. ”
After listening to the other party, Brother Chen asked the question he was most concerned about: "They really didn't know each other before?" ”
The pork seller was far away at the time, and because there was business in the stall, he didn't hear anything talking between the two, but later I heard that the trader was just pulling out a knife to help when the road was uneven.
The pork seller nodded affirmatively, and said suspiciously: "I don't know, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing."
On the second day, Brother Chen found the Fulai Inn and inquired about the room where Tang Zangyue lived.
Tang Zangyue opened the door and invited people indoors.
Brother Chen got straight to the point and said, "I promised you." ”
In the past, Brother Chen may not have had any connections, but after he betrayed his treachery and made a move against Xiao Yi's family, he became popular.
After Brother Chen asked what she wanted to sell and buy, he had a preliminary judgment.
Tang Zangyue: "In the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there is no shortage of food, I need a lot of cheap old grain, common herbs, and then visit all parts of the Chu State in exchange for goods from all over the country." As for what to sell in the capital, and the buyers for it...... Naturally, Brother Chen listed it first for my reference.
I'm selling coastal coconuts and fresh seafood. ”
Brother Chen was a little surprised. He asked, "What is a coconut?" ”
"The juice is sweet and can be used to make soup, and the coconut fruit can also be used directly, and the price is set at 100 wen a piece, because it is inconvenient to transport."
Two coconuts per penny were set at 100 wen each, and she had more than 3,000 coconuts in her space, and she had to sell more than 2,000 coconuts, which meant that she made a net profit of two hundred taels of silver.
Rare is expensive, coconuts are in Chang'an, she doesn't plan to sell them all at once, and when coconuts are no longer rare in Chang'an, she will stop in time.
The big head is still on the seafood.
She asked the inn that fresh shrimp cost 1,000 wen each.
Counting the fresh shrimp alone, she has nearly 1,000 catties, which is about 10,000. The shrimp here keeps it fresh, and although it is dead, it can be discounted and sold for 800 wen a piece, and the taste is the same.
Generally calculated, it can be sold for 8,000 taels of silver, excluding the price of more than 600 catties of grain in exchange, which is about 3 taels of silver, and the net profit is only a fraction of it......
It's so profitable.
Crabs, sea cucumbers, oysters, and abalone have higher unit prices and will only make more money.
Tang Zangyue said: "I have inquired about the price of fresh seafood in Chang'an, just a live shrimp costs one or two silver, although my shrimp is not alive, but the freshness is about the same as that of live shrimp, but it needs to be eaten on the same day, otherwise the longer it is stored, the more it will lose its freshness, so it sells for eight hundred wen." ”
Brother Chen: "You want to sell fresh seafood?" ”
Tang Zangyue nodded, "You can help me catch up with someone, and I can negotiate the rest by myself." ”
In fact, she had already negotiated a business at the Fulai Inn, but the other party didn't want much, so she could only stretch out her hand to the dignitaries.
Some dignitaries lived in luxury, and there was ice in the cellars, and they might have bought these things to store and enjoy them before the spring came. No matter how bad it is, feast other people who want to make friends, and fresh seafood is also on the table.
Brother Chen listed a few contacts for Tang Zangyue on the spot.
One is an official worshipping the sixth grade, the family is not short of money, and the surface is poor, but in fact, he is more luxurious than many first-class ministers; One is a wealthy businessman, shrewd and does not want to be limited to business, and has recently used silver to open the way to buy an official position for his son......
Brother Chen said several people one after another, and Tang Zangyue finally finalized the first two.
Brother Chen also favored these two, otherwise he would not have mentioned them to Tang Zangyue first. He nodded in response and said, "At most, I'll get back to you tonight." ”
Tang Zangyue nodded: "Okay." ”
Brother Chen came out of the Fulai Inn, and was not in a hurry to negotiate this business, but went to Xiao Yi's house and brought more than a dozen catties of pork, which seemed full of sincerity.
In fact, since betraying Xiao Yi, he hasn't set foot in this yard for a long time because of his weak heart.
