Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant
Chapter 23
Before the two brothers went to sell buns, some people might think that their family was rewarded by the emperor, but now they feel that the emperor only rewarded some things. The steamed stuffed bun stall is very popular. Since the stall was first set up, there has been no idle time. Some people in the village have tasted it. The real meat is delicious when eaten. It is delicious and not expensive. It's real meat, can it make money?
People in the village who had something good to do would ask the brothers on the way back from closing the stall, and the two brothers could only laugh and answer.The person who asked may be just curious, but who knows if they should take it as someone else's talk, and what should they do if they spread the word and attract people with bad intentions?Their family can be said to be powerless, so it's better to keep a low profile.
"Why, I'm afraid we'll be jealous. As for hiding it!" My curiosity was not satisfied, and I felt a little unhappy.
"I said you should calm down! Do you think that you are older when you are older? In terms of seniority, you have to call them uncle. They kindly brought you back. You don't ask for money, so you just stay there. Why do you talk so much?" Some people are not pleasing to the eye, what does it have to do with how much money others make, and if they ask the bottom line, they will put on airs if they don't talk about it, and they really treat themselves as dishes.
The questioners stopped immediately and stopped asking. In the village, seniority is very important. Now even if the two brothers reprimand them, no one will come forward to help them.
Although Wang Laoliu's family has been back for a while, the relationship between relatives in the village is still unclear, and everyone has not recognized them. I really don't know who is older and who is younger.
After the two returned home, they discussed that they should not take people with them in the future. When people asked how much money they made, it was not easy to open their mouths.After the two discussed it, Wang Xiubai took the book he bought today and went to the field to exchange his father.Tian Ding started to prepare things for tomorrow, and after finishing his work, he went back to the house to sleep for a while.
After half a month of busy work, there were a few more stalls selling steamed stuffed buns in the town, and the style of the stalls was the same as that of the Wang family brothers, and the prices were similar. In the first three days, there were discounts, which attracted some customers.Wang Xiubai was a little anxious, but Tian Ding was not in a hurry. Thinking about his previous life, before the apocalypse began, let alone how many bun shops there were in a city, even in a small town, there were several bun shops. It's okay to go out.
Several new steamed stuffed bun stalls were quite popular at the beginning, everyone was trying to get a bargain, but after that, they became a bit sluggish, after all, they still didn't taste good.Among the several steamed stuffed bun stalls is the town inn, and the restaurant is set up here. At first, the hatchback didn’t pay attention to the small steamed stuffed bun stall. There are all kinds of food on the street. It’s a business to make a living, but someone is eating it. After passing the steamed buns at the steamed stuffed bun stall, I went to their store to comment on their steamed stuffed buns. They were so impressed by the news that they sent Xiaoer to buy some and come back to taste. After tasting the taste, they felt that the steamed stuffed buns were different. I showed it to the chef and tried to make a batch of steamed stuffed buns, but the taste was not good enough.
I heard from the yamen servants who came to eat, that despite the small size of the steamed stuffed bun stall, you can make a lot of money every day, not to mention that they are sold out every day, and there are still reservations in advance.On a certain day, someone ordered a hundred or so orders, and many people didn't buy them the next day, and even scolded the person who ordered more.It was just an interesting story, but people who listened to it found business opportunities, especially in inns. In the past, when customers left, they would buy some steamed buns and other food in their stores. Although they still have them now, they are obviously much less than before. , In other words, earn less.The inn was the first to set up a stall outside, and it also occupied a very powerful place. When it launched a discount a few days ago, it really made some money, but after that, it didn't make much money every day, and there was still a lot of stuff left.The same is true for restaurants. As for other people who followed suit, they switched to other businesses after a few days.
It’s not that the inns and restaurants haven’t thought about it, and none of them want to spend money to buy it, but the people who make good friends with them shake their heads, saying that the two brothers can’t move, don’t look at the current situation. The two seem to be incompetent, do you know who their father is?Although the former prime minister of this dynasty returned to his hometown, who knows who he handed over when he was an official, and whether he had any disciples.
Those who do business in the city don't have many favors, and I don't know where I heard it. The emperor is still thinking about the marriage of the youngest son of the Wang family, so all those who have malicious intentions have given up their minds. Looking for money, he came to the door, wanting to buy the recipe for making steamed stuffed buns.
If one came to the door, there would be two. After hearing the prices quoted by several companies, Tian Ding had an idea, and after selling the buns one day, he took his brother to the grocery store.The shopkeeper of the grocery store in Wu County was surnamed Wu. When the shopkeeper saw the two coming in, he bowed his hands and saluted. Then he asked the two what they needed to buy today, and how the crabs were growing.
"Shopkeeper Wu, today I'm not here to buy, but to sell. I don't know what Shopkeeper Wu thinks of my steamed stuffed buns?" Wang Xiubai clasped his hands in return, explaining the purpose of his visit.
"Cheap, delicious." Shopkeeper Wu summed it up in four words, but he didn't seem to be tempted at all, and he didn't blame shopkeeper Wu for not being tempted, because steamed buns have nothing to do with groceries.Just like in later generations, if you go to a hardware store to buy buns, the owner of the store will definitely call you sick.
"There are people in the city who want to buy prescriptions." Wang Xiubo didn't understand why his younger brother wanted to sell the prescriptions to shopkeeper Wu, but his younger brother said so, so he had to ask. If it was bought by shopkeeper Wu, it would be natural to do business with acquaintances. More reliable than others.
Shopkeeper Wu didn't answer, it was useless for him to ask for prescriptions, I really don't know what the two brothers were thinking, they went to the grocery store to sell prescriptions.Shopkeeper Wu didn't think that the bids of those who went to buy prescriptions would be low, maybe it didn't reach the price they expected.
"Shopkeeper Wu, don't refuse in a hurry, let me give you an analysis." Tian Ding opened his mouth slowly. "Our steamed stuffed bun costs two yuan a piece, and the cost is about one yuan. They are still mature. If they are sold as raw food, the cost is less than one yuan."
"Raw food?" Shopkeeper Wu looked at Tian Ding. A steamed bun made a net profit of one cent, and the two brothers could earn at least one or two dollars a day.Shopkeeper Wu was silent for a while, then thought for a while, then shook his head, "If I open a food shop, buy it, and sell both raw and cooked dishes, that's fine. If I shop here, I can't do it. Fortunately, in summer, it will stink."
"No ice?" Tian Ding was a little puzzled. He had ice when he was in the capital before. When he was rushing here, the season was like the end of the world. He didn't feel the heat in summer. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he instinctively thought that he hadn't thought of it.
"There is ice, and ice Queen can be used, and the cost is far more than two taels." Shopkeeper Wu shook his head, thinking about the identities of the two brothers in front of him, he felt that the two were thinking too simply.Seeing that Tianding was still puzzled, shopkeeper Wu talked about how the ice was preserved.
"That's it, let's put aside Fang Zi's business for now, how about our ice-making business?" Tian Ding was delighted after hearing the method of storekeeper Wu's preservation of ice. In later generations, no one knows that saltpeter can make ice. This is not giving them free money. Well!Just think about it, Tim Ding will be happy.
"Young master Wang knows how to make ice? Is it difficult?" Shopkeeper Wu's expression immediately changed from his previous casual attitude.
"I'm afraid shopkeeper Wu can't take charge of this matter. I wonder if I can meet the owner of the shop." Ice production is not a one-time thing. Ice is needed every summer, and the grocery store will definitely not only do business in Wu County. What he has to do is take the prescription and invest in shares, and distribute dividends every year.
Shopkeeper Wu pondered for a while, and seemed to understand Tian Ding's thoughts, "I will report this matter to the owner, and when the owner arrives, I will go to the stall to find the two of you."
The two brothers got up to say goodbye, and when they went out, Wang Xiubo asked how his brother made ice.Tian Ding shook his head, not sure if his elder brother was stupid or impatient, what was he thinking when he asked about this on the street.The two returned home all the way, and Tian Ding said slowly, "The ice making is very simple, but no one has discovered it yet."
Tian Ding is going to find some saltpeter tomorrow and try it at home. There is no accurate way of measuring grams, so he learned the ratio.But when he thinks about earning money again, and earning it for a long time, Tian Ding's mood is even better.I also said a few more words to my father who was not pleasing to the eye.
"You can't just focus on making a living. Xiubamo forgot to enlighten Tian Ding. Even if you are a businessman, you can't be illiterate. You can look at the deed in the future and be deceived by others." Wang Laoliu said seriously, and the two brothers replied immediately, not forgetting As for the matter of literacy, Wang Laoliu nodded in satisfaction, "Our family should have some spare money right now. For my father, why not hire a man to help take care of him in the fields at night."
Wang Laoliu made several suggestions, and the two brothers agreed that they should be dealt with.After leaving the house, Tian Ding lamented that if his father hadn't made troubles, Yu's family would be like a rock in town.
"Father's handwriting has improved a lot." Wang Xiubo looked at the books his father copied, "If father is free, he only needs to borrow books in the future." After Tian Ding heard this, he felt that his elder brother's calculations were very precise.
In the imperial palace of the capital, the emperor personally sent a letter from Xiangcheng. If it was a letter like this in the past, it would not need to be handled by the emperor, and there would be a special attendant to handle it. Today, the attendant is by the emperor's side Worth, listening to Lan Jin talk about the urgent letter sent from Xiangcheng, before the personal attendant could speak, the emperor before the imperial case asked about the shop he had run before.
That's right, the North and South Grocery Store was the property of the emperor when he was the prince, and it is still in operation to fill the internal warehouse.The personal follower reported it immediately, and the letter fell into the hands of the emperor. After opening it and reading the contents, the emperor was happy, "The youngest son of Prime Minister Wang is really extraordinary."
I didn't see the letter with me, so I didn't know the content above, so I just stood aside as the background.After the emperor finished reading it, he tapped his finger on the imperial case, "This son will remain the same when he grows up, and the Li family will suffer a loss. However, the marriage was ordered by his father and should not be abolished. Mr. Li also felt wronged by his eldest grandson taking this son. I think he has stayed in the capital for too long."
In the general's mansion, there were three people kneeling in Old General Li's study. All three were people sent by the old general to Xiangcheng to investigate secretly. After the three returned, they reported three different versions to him. One said that there was no one in the Wang family, and one It is said that the youngest son of the Wang family is stupid, but one person explained in detail what the Wang family is doing now.Old General Li stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and looked at the three of them. If he couldn't tell who was real and who was fake, he didn't need to be an official, he just returned home.
In the study, besides General Li, there is also Li Sushan, the grandson of Li's parents.This son is handsome, capable of writing and martial arts, only one thing is lacking, he can't laugh.Ever since he was born, I have never seen this son smile, but he is very fond of the old general. The old general said that the Li family has been fighting for generations, fighting and fighting, seeing many lives and deaths, what is the use of laughing.
Li Sushan stood upright beside his grandfather, like a pillar, thinking about who is the master behind the three. He felt that each of the three was used by others.Li Sushan thought about that day outside the gate of Wang's house, he stood far away and saw the child being hugged, although he couldn't see the face clearly, he felt amiable, now he doesn't know if the child has grown taller, and what it looks like.
Li Sushan was distracted in an open and honest way, but General Li was wondering whether the Li family should take over the son. He sounded smart, but when he thought of Prime Minister Wang, General Li felt uncomfortable, and asked him to be in-laws with the surname Wang. A hundred people are not willing, and marrying the youngest son of the Wang family, the eldest grandson will have no offspring, and Old General Li has not seen anyone yet, no matter how good it sounds, a hundred people are not happy.
People in the village who had something good to do would ask the brothers on the way back from closing the stall, and the two brothers could only laugh and answer.The person who asked may be just curious, but who knows if they should take it as someone else's talk, and what should they do if they spread the word and attract people with bad intentions?Their family can be said to be powerless, so it's better to keep a low profile.
"Why, I'm afraid we'll be jealous. As for hiding it!" My curiosity was not satisfied, and I felt a little unhappy.
"I said you should calm down! Do you think that you are older when you are older? In terms of seniority, you have to call them uncle. They kindly brought you back.

Some people are not pleasing to the eye, what does it have to do with how much money others make, and if they ask the bottom line, they will put on airs if they don't talk about it, and they really treat themselves as dishes.
The questioners stopped immediately and stopped asking. In the village, seniority is very important. Now even if the two brothers reprimand them, no one will come forward to help them.
Although Wang Laoliu's family has been back for a while, the relationship between relatives in the village is still unclear, and everyone has not recognized them. I really don't know who is older and who is younger.
After the two returned home, they discussed that they should not take people with them in the future.
