Chapter 44: The Seller

In the past few days, Ning Changrong has no time to go to the merchant to discuss the matter of chilblain cream, and he has gained a lot today, so he called it a day early. Ning Changrong finally had time to find a merchant.

After persuading the merchant to come to his house to see the goods, the merchant hesitated, he sold all the small things for one penny or two, and the price of this thing was two and a half, and the family meant that it was sold all over the place, and he had to go farther, if he added the distance problem, he would sell it for about four cents, otherwise he would work hard in vain.

Ning Changrong took a bottle and gave it to the merchant and asked him to open it and try it himself, but the merchant hesitated, but he still didn't make up his mind.

In the end, I still wanted to make more money, so I took ten and was ready to test the water.

As soon as Ning Changrong went home, he pulled the merchant to talk about business, and before he could explain the situation to his family, the family had been waiting for him to explain why he came back so early today.

The explanation to the Ning family is that he met a big customer today and wrapped him up all of a sudden, so he went home early.

After returning to Wang Xiujuan's room, he took out the ten taels of silver.

Ning Changrong explained, and the two of them were clear,

Ning Qingxi was a little happy, "Then this is really a windfall." It would be nice to have a few more such families. ”

"What good things do you think? Although this shopkeeper Feng only gave a low price, but people give money anyway, if you meet other errands, giving money or not is two different things, people directly let you give the recipe, what can you do? ”

"Can I still not know, Daddy? Didn't I imagine it? Fortunately, we are not from here, and we have more knowledge in our heads, otherwise this money would be too difficult to earn. ”

Wang Xiujuan opened her mouth and said: "Changrong, these ten taels of silver are considered our own, and we don't need to mix them with the money in the public school." ”

They helped with the small cakes, so the money would be distributed to the Ning family after it was sold. It's their own.

Ning Changrong nodded, he didn't say anything about the seller in the first place, and this was the idea.

The two looked at Ning Qingxi in unison, for fear that she would think her family was too much.

"What are you watching me do? Isn't that great? That's how it should be. ”

Isn't she just embarrassed to eat alone on the first day she came, why did she become such an image in the eyes of her father and milk? Her own family and the Ning family, she can still distinguish between distant and close relatives, and they didn't take advantage of others, so the money for this recipe should indeed be collected by their own family.

……

When he was at the gate of the city, Ning Changrong's goods had to be paid five cents, and he estimated that the guard might have seen him get along with the county lieutenant yesterday, and was polite to him, only charging him three cents, and openly and secretly inquiring with him about his relationship with the county magistrate's housekeeper.

Ning Changrong pulled the tiger skin as a big banner, and he didn't say it clearly, and let the person guess by himself if he said some specious things.

The guard saw Steward Feng waiting at the gate of the city several times, and he also went up and licked his face and greeted him several times, but people ignored him. I didn't expect to wait for Ning Changrong, a mud leg from the countryside.

Seeing him like that, it didn't seem like offending the steward, and Ning Changrong didn't talk about the relationship between the two, and the guards couldn't figure out Ning Changrong's identity for a while, so they were polite to him.

He knew that Ning Changrong was here to sell small cakes, and he had also taken a few, which were delicious, but he would never have thought that Steward Feng would wait for someone for the sake of the small cakes, so he couldn't guess the relationship between the two.

Ning Changrong had just finished chatting with the guards when he was stopped again at the city gate.

The other party introduced himself as the shopkeeper of a pastry shop.

What is Sifangzhai, he has heard of it, it seems to be a more famous pastry shop in the county.

The steward looked at Ning Changrong being treated politely by the guards, and thought that he had something to do with these people, although the guard was just a big-headed soldier, but the steward was also a little surprised, how could a countryman have anything to do with the big-headed soldiers in the county? It seems that the big-headed soldier is quite polite to him, does this person have anything to do with it? The arrogant attitude has been reined in.

politely invited Ning Changrong to a nearby inn and sat down to talk about things.

As soon as Ning Changrong heard him introduce that he was the steward of the pastry shop, he guessed that this person should have come to buy the child. Naturally, they will not refuse the invitation of the visitor.

"I wonder what this steward is doing?"

The steward glanced Ning Changrong up and down, he was really blind, he had actually read a few books, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken like this.

"The little cake belongs to yours?"

"Exactly."

"You also know that I am the shopkeeper of Sifangzhai, and I came this time to buy from you."

Ning Changrong didn't expect this person to be so direct, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said, "Fang Zi can be sold, I don't know how much money you are going to sell?" ”

Ning Changrong said again before the other party was about to speak:

"Don't worry, I'll calculate an account for you first, my small cake sells for ten cents, and I can sell two hundred to three hundred a day, which means that my daily income is between two and three taels of silver, and after removing the cost and labor costs, I can earn about two taels of silver a day on average."

"How much do you plan to pay for my recipe? As long as you open your mouth, I will never bargain, if it is suitable, we will hand it over on the spot, and if it is not suitable, we will treat it as if we have not seen it this time. ”

"Presumably, there are many pastry shops in the county that are interested in my recipe."

After speaking, Ning Changrong took out a piece of paper from his pocket and slapped it on the table.

The offensive and defensive forces are also different.

Where does the shopkeeper of Sifangzhai not understand when he looks like this? The other party obviously came on purpose, and he had already calculated that someone would come to him to buy pastries.

Ning Changrong's long list of calculations really made him a little confused, and the fifty taels that he originally opened were also choked back, and he was ready to take forty taels before he saw him talking to the guards.

It seems that it is not easy to fool, and the other party is obviously not that shallow knowledge.

The shopkeeper of Sifangzhai sat up with a serious expression, "Since you can say it so clearly, you have your own price in your heart, and your pastries sell very well, I don't deny this, what you said can be sold for two or three taels of silver a day, that's because it is not known whether there will be such a sales volume in the end of the year, Taixi County is a small place after all, and the people who can afford it are limited." ”

Ning Changrong's expression did not change in the slightest, and he motioned to the shopkeeper to continue, what they said was indeed right.

The shopkeeper of Sifangzhai tentatively reported a number, "What do you think of sixty taels?" ”

Seeing that Ning Changrong took back the recipe and wanted to leave, the shopkeeper of Sifangzhai hurriedly increased the price: "Ninety taels!" ”

Ning Changrong paused, and continued to raise his feet.

"One hundred taels! It can't be more, it's the last floor price! ”

Ning Changrong didn't look back, walked to the staircase and prepared to go downstairs to sell his pastries. Waiting for the next destined person.

"One hundred and fifty taels! This is really the last reserve price! If you don't say yes, you can go. ”

Ning Changrong turned around and sat back in his seat with a smile, "Deal." But I have one request, I will continue to do this business after the Fang Zi is sold to you. ”

The shopkeeper of Sifangzhai didn't expect Ning Changrong to be so difficult, and thought for a while, "Yes, but you can only sell it in Taixing County." And Fang Zi can't be sold to anyone else! ”

Sell somewhere else? Ning Changrong couldn't sell it if he wanted to, it was nothing.

Let Sifangzhai sell small cakes exclusively, it's okay, he won't lose one hundred and fifty taels, and it will be too much to increase the price, and he is also afraid that people will use some means to lift the table.

was in business, so Ning Changrong didn't tell him that he could add milk. This man is not honest at first glance, and if he really doesn't understand anything, he will definitely be deceived.
