"Hmm."

Thinking that Lu Xu mainly wanted to sell grain, Yan Junqi gave him an idea: "The price of grain is cheap this year, and the local small grain merchants in Guanyang have a lot of inventory in their hands. ”

"Is there such a thing?"

"Hmm. Xiaowen disliked the high asking price, and was afraid that the grain price would be lower next year, so he didn't ask for much. ”

The main reason is that they still have a lot of warehouses, Lu Wen is afraid of snow in winter, and the warehouses are snowy, and the grain is stuffy and sprouts and grows mold in spring.

Yan Junqi suggested: "Since it is only transported to Chongning, why don't you take them with you?" ”

Now when it comes to the trade routes of the three counties in Guanyang, everyone is no longer so resistant.

If these small businessmen find people to find cars by themselves, not to mention efficiency, they don't need to do everything by Lu Xu himself, worrying about labor.

If the small grain merchants in Guanyang can connect with the Xiao cavalry, and they sell grain to the Xiao cavalry army in the future, it can not only ensure the price of grain in Guanyang, but also make both sides profitable, Lu Xu does not have to worry about sending grain to Qiu Hu to the north will make the Xiao cavalry unhappy.

There are many small merchants who come and go frequently on the trade route, and it is more beneficial to the trade route than a large caravan once every two or three months.

Lu Xu pondered and complimented: "Okay, I'll talk to them tomorrow!" Junqi, you're so smart. ”

Yan Junqi smiled shyly.

There was no one in the granary, Lu Xu took Yan Junqi's hand, pinched the thin cocoon on his right hand, and asked while walking, "What do you want to eat tomorrow morning?" I'll do it for you. ”

"No, I'll just eat at the shop."

"What do you want to eat at noon? What do you want to eat at night? While I'm at home these days, I'll cook whatever you want to eat. ”

The author has something to say:

Lu Xiao's love progression~ and some beautiful misunderstandings -

Lu Zhou: My brother loves me so much!

Hanlu: Big brother, friend of women, model brother!

Lu Xu feeds, feeds, feeds......

Tan Shishi scoffed: At this level, it's not as good as me! (receiving, receiving, receiving...... ）

Chapter 183: Mutton Hot Pot

Lu Xu listened to Yan Junqi's suggestion, and asked Lu Wen to find those small grain merchants in Guanyang early the next morning.

Some of them lived in the county, some of them were in other towns, and it took a day to get together.

Lu Xu listed three plans, the first is that he will lead them and help them contact the Xiao Cavalry, and then they will directly sell food to the Xiao Cavalry.

The second is to sell him grain, and the money and goods are cleared, and he hires someone to deliver it himself.

The third is to sell it to him, but the transportation is handled by these small grain merchants themselves, and he gives an extra 400 yuan per stone.

No matter which one is chosen this time, in fact, this time it is Lu Xu who pays for it, but he chooses the first one, only this time he paid for the Xiao cavalry to buy it, and in the future, they will sell it to the Xiao cavalry themselves, if the Xiao cavalry can't pay in time, they will have to bear their own risk.

However, this is not without benefits, trading with the Xiao Cavalry, and if they want to open up the Shuozhou market in the future, there will be a great guarantee.

Lu Xu didn't urge, let them think slowly, "You can give me the news within three days, and we will leave in five days." ”

The small merchants confirmed to him again: "Only send to the ancient road at the junction of Chongning and Dengzhou? ”

Lu Xu: "Yes, the Xiao cavalry can't cross the county to enter our Longxing, otherwise I will lead them to Guanyang to collect them, and I don't have to work so hard for you to make such trouble." ”

Small merchants are not too much of a hassle at all.

As long as they don't have to go to Shuozhou, they are very relieved.

After a discussion about acquaintances, good relations, and similar situations, more than half of them replied to Lu Xu the next day-

Only a small part chose the second option for insurance, and sold it to Lu Xu, and the money and goods were cleared. In addition, some of the brave ones chose the first one, and most of them chose the third one.

If you can work as a local grain merchant, your family has a solid population, and it is not difficult to gather some young people from your own family or from a relative's house, but it is really not convenient to hire people from the wharf.

Now the road is easy to walk, although it is farther from Guanyang to Chongning than from Guanyang to the state capital, the road is faster, and it has arrived in ten days.

According to the price of Guanyang to find a porter now, short-term workers are 40 to 50 wen a day, long-term workers for more than 10 days are 40 wen a day, and 20 days back and forth are counted, and a porter is 800 wen.

I heard that the big rocks on the trade road have been removed, the pits have been filled, and one cart with two porters and three carts is enough.

In this way, they can make a lot of money more with one car.

Lu Xu registered their names and hometowns, counted how many cars and how much grain they carried, and paid half of the silver as a deposit.

The grain merchants got the money and immediately went to the wharf to recruit workers.

Lu Xu took the account book and made careful calculations with Lu Wenjing.

Lu Wen couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, you are too good at spending!" ”

He saved a little, and Lu Xu spent it.

He saved a little more, and Lu Xu spent it again.

Lu Xu: "Has our hot pot restaurant been renovated?" Can you open your business? ”

Lu Wen: "How can it be so fast!" I said let you buy it early, but you don't, you're busy now! ”

Lu Xu: "If you really can't do it, let's sell a few stones first." ”

This time, he stayed in Dengzhou with all the stones he brought back from the north, and only brought back a basket of small stones, which were rare and expensive, and he had to sell them slowly.

Anyway, there are still ones at home, so let's sell them for a big piece.

Lu Xu closed the account book and asked Lu Wen to withdraw the money, and he went to settle the money from the wine store and the grocery store first.

As for the ones borrowed by the Luo family, Luo Chun handed him a message, and he was not in a hurry to return it, so he first asked him to buy food for the Xiao cavalry.

Now the whole Guanyang can see that the future business route can make money, and the people who borrowed money from the Luo family still want to take the Luo family's line, how can anyone come to the door to urge money at this time.

Lu Xu went to the wine shop to send money, and the shopkeeper accepted his money and gave him a batch on credit.

The grocery store simply doesn't need money, his nephew has already settled in Dengzhou, and he has been eating and drinking for nothing for a while, and he has rented a big shop for free, where is he embarrassed to ask Lu Xu for money.

Lu Xu bought a lot of things from him again, and the profits alone were enough to cover the money he paid for the goods last time.

Especially the cloth that his brother-in-law sent from his hometown, Lu Xu wrapped up the round.

This time, he asked Lu Xu to bring some cloth for his nephew to sell.

In the past few days, Guanyang has become lively again.

There are people recruiting workers at the wharf every day, and the Lu family's restaurant is being renovated nervously, and some people see that they bring eight sheep from the village and hire a butcher.

Seeing that Lu Ji's tables, chairs and benches were all set up, and the signboard was also hung up, he didn't send an invitation.

The merchants who were invited to eat mutton last time were a little unable to sit still, and took advantage of the casual chat to ask: "Is the Lu family planning to open directly this time?" ”

"Look, I didn't get an invitation, what about you?"

"Me neither."

Everyone's hearts were balanced again, and someone found a reason for Lu Ji: "Isn't Guanyang Lu Ji replaced by his younger brother who picks the door now." ”

"Lu Wen!" Everyone was stunned, and they were very relieved to accept it.

There are also people who ridicule everywhere, saying that Lu Ji has changed the manager, and his style has changed, and when Lu Xu was in charge in the past, he opened a new store and didn't engage in activities, but it would not work if he was replaced by Lu Wen.

Some people also say that it is not Lu Wen's problem, but that Lu Ji's business has become bigger, and there is no shortage of customers.

Speaking of the cool words, there are still people who speculate in a matter, look, if it goes on like this, it won't be a few years, and it's hard to say what Lu Ji will be like in the future.

As a result, it was spread, and someone found out that something was wrong, "My father-in-law has received an invitation letter, and there are coupons." ”

"Your father-in-law?"

"That's right."

"What does your father-in-law do for business?"

"My father-in-law doesn't do business!"

"Don't do business, Lu Ji sent him an invitation?"

"The Lu family has always not only given to the rich, my father-in-law is not far from Lu Ji, saying that it is a neighborhood coupon that Lu Wen personally visited and sent, and there is no money for those over 60 years old and under 3 years old, and the first three days of meals are discounted by 20%, and a large plate of mutton is given for free."

"Is that just for neighbors?"

"Like...... Their regular customers of Lu Ji also gave it. ”

Merchants who did not receive the invitation: "......"

In addition to neighborhood coupons, Lu Wen also designed vouchers, vegetable coupons, and meat coupons.

The voucher is still the same, it can be used in any store in the Guanyang Alliance, and it will be given away if you spend a certain amount in any store in the Guanyang Alliance.

Vegetable coupons and meat coupons can only be used in the newly opened Lu Ji hot pot restaurant, and a vegetable coupon can be exchanged for a plate of any variety of vegetables and vegetables, and a meat coupon can be exchanged for a plate of any meat.

Chickens, ducks, fish, pigs and sheep, what you like to eat.

These two coupon patterns were drawn by Lu Wen himself, and the engraving was carved by Lu Wen staring at the craftsman, and the paper was a good paper he specially found, and the number was also recorded on it.

In order to prevent others from forgery, he also personally took the list, and with one, he crossed out the corresponding number.

The number is strange, it looks like a password, and it is a miracle that Lu Xu can be ugly when he sees that the straight words can be ugly.

was so angry that Lu Wen chased him all over the yard.

This is obviously a symbol that he worked so hard to design!

At present, these two coupons are only distributed in ready-to-wear shops, dessert shops and grocery stores, and if you buy enough one tael of silver at a time, you will get a vegetable coupon, and if you buy enough three taels of silver at a time, you will get a meat coupon, or you will have to wait for the hot pot restaurant to open, and send one after settling the account.

Others complained about Lu Wen's stinginess, and Lu Wen unceremoniously scolded back: "Our sheep are expensive!" ”

Others can't do anything if they want to, who let Guanyang be the only one without a semicolon?

Let's not eat it with him, I really want to taste it.

Go ahead, with Lu Wen's tone, I don't know what price will be set for a plate.

Everyone thinks about it, let's buy clothes and groceries! These are all affordable, three or two are three or two, anyway, you have to buy the whole thing from zero, and it's not bad to change a meat coupon for free.

Finally, on the opening day, many families in Guanyang moved. In addition to eating mutton hot pot last time, the rich businessmen who have long been hungry for mutton have been active in the number of people with neighborhood coupons.
