Chapter 375 The Deliciousness of Ugly Fruit
The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he heard this: "Thank you very much, husband, for your support."
"This coal stove costs five taels of silver, and each briquette costs twenty cents."
"Chenghui, a total of nine taels of silver."
"You are our first customer, and I will give you ten more briquettes..."
"If you spend ten taels of silver, the store will provide delivery services within the city and provide door-to-door guidance. Look, you already have nine taels of silver..."
The old man in gray clothes nodded immediately: "Then bring fifty more briquettes."
It costs exactly ten taels of silver, and can be delivered to your door, with instructions on how to use it.
Some people couldn't stand it and advised the old man: "You are really stupid, this little thing costs ten taels of silver..."
"How do you need ten taels of silver to burn firewood for a year?"
Even if things are expensive in the capital, an ordinary small family can only have five or six taels of silver for firewood a year.
The old man in gray clothes nodded at the other party and did not refute, but just explained.
"The old wife at home is sick, and the little maid she bought is too sleepy and playful. She always dozes off while making medicine, and the fire goes out in a short while..."
"The medicine is not effective enough, and the old wife will never recover from her illness."
"The doctor said, you still have to watch the fire carefully..."
"I stay with my old wife at night, and if I try hard enough to take medicine during the day... I can't stand it anymore."
"This coal stove can save me from worrying, which is equivalent to saving my life and my old wife's life. How can a few taels of silver compare?"
As soon as this was said, everyone understood and felt sympathy for each other.
"Yes, a more expensive medicine costs several taels!"
"If you can boil the medicine without looking at the fire and recover early, it will be worth spending more money on charcoal fire..."
"Besides, you don't need to use this all day long. You can use it when making medicine..."
"Hey, doesn't your old lady always need to make medicine? I think you should get one too..."
"Yes yes yes..."
So a few more people came forward to buy.
As soon as the scene started, everyone came to the first consensus: this thing does not need to be watched by fire, and it is especially suitable for making medicine.
At this time, a woman came forward and said: "My master often eats stewed bird's nest, and he always heats it on the stove with water separated..."
"This is more practical than charcoal. I will buy one to stew tonic for the master..."
The master might even give you a reward!
When everyone thought about it, it was indeed so.
Some supplements that need to be simmered for a long time are definitely more stable with this firepower.
At this time, people from the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue came.
Also coming with them were the ministers and principals from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This is a deal that is closely related to his bonus. Once the boss speaks, the leaders of the relevant departments will come forward to support it on the first day.
This time, they were all at the managerial level. As soon as they came up, they waved their hands: "We need five stoves at home, and a thousand briquettes!"
"My family wants fifteen and fifteen hundred briquettes."
"I have a small family. I only need a coal stove and two hundred briquettes." This person's voice was obviously much softer.
……
With everyone watching, only more than a thousand taels of silver were sold in one morning.
Supposedly, this is quite a lot, but they can't stop them from comparing the briquette shop with the state-owned shop next to it.
A fruit shop, a tea shop, a powder shop... they can all earn thousands of taels a day casually!
Especially during the opening days, which day is it not overcrowded?
So a gap appeared, some people ridiculed it, and some people despised it.
"Look, the imperial court keeps opening shops, selling things that no one has ever seen before. If you open too many shops, can they all be good?"
"That's right, if you ask me, it won't work after a long time..."
All kinds of strange stories were sent to the desk of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue along with the daily report of the coal briquette shop, and everyone was uneasy.
Compared with other shops, this money is too little...
Will he be scolded?
Is this project considered a failure?
Cui Chaoyong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, glanced at the briquettes, but didn't care at all: "It's okay, everyone can do whatever they need to do. I'll report to His Highness the Prince." He hurried away with the report. As soon as he left, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Qiu Zhishan, It's coming.
Qiu Zhishan looked at the unhappy-looking household employees: "Where are you adults?"
"Lord Hui Qiu, we, Sir, have gone into the palace to report to His Highness the situation of the briquette shop today..."
The person in charge explained that Qiu Zhishan had already gotten the news a long time ago. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It's okay. You adults have told me earlier..."
It's summer now, so it's normal for the briquette business to be slow.
Their Ministry of Industry only needs to make briquettes, make briquettes, make briquettes... stock up and wait until winter.
There is one good thing about Qiu Zhishan: he is very willing to listen to professionals when he doesn't understand.
In terms of business, ten Qiu Zhishan cannot catch up with one Cui Chaoyong.
He believed in Cui Chaoyong.
So Qiu Zhishan sat in the Hubu Yamen and did not go home for dinner, waiting for Cui Chaoyong to come back.
When Cui Chaoyong went in with the report, he was also uneasy.
It's one thing for him to say "it's okay". Whether it's really okay depends on His Royal Highness's reaction today.
Fortunately, Fu Chenan really felt "nothing".
He also comforted Cui Chaoyong in turn: "It's hot now, so it's normal for business to be bad."
"You only need to spend the next six months to let everyone know that there is an alternative to briquettes, and then slowly let people know how useful this thing is."
"When winter comes, just wait and see, they will all want as many briquettes as you save."
Cui Chaoyong's heart dropped into his stomach: "Here!"
As soon as he left, Fu Chenan went to Wolong Villa to find Xiao Yingchun.
Xiao Yingchun was held in Fu Chenan's arms. Fu Chenan lowered his head and rubbed her belly, and kissed her from time to time.
After hearing what Fu Chenan said, Xiao Yingchun became curious about another thing.
"I gave you a lot of fruit seedlings at the beginning of the year. Now it's summer. Are the fruit seedlings alive? How is the situation now?"
At the beginning, in order to make the fruit seedlings easy to feed, we selected the best quality varieties.
When Fu Chenan heard this, he stopped touching his belly and said, "I'll go back and ask, please wait for me for a while."
Fu Chenan rushed to the back door, just like going to the study to get a file.
The old god Xiao Yingchun was waiting, and even took a strawberry in his mouth, eating it deliciously.
Not long after, Fu Chenan came back with a basket in his hand, which contained obviously small fruits.
There was a helpless smile on his face: "We have actually grown some fruits, but they think they are too ugly and completely different from what we sell in the fruit shop, so they dare not report it..."
Xiao Yingchun picked up a strawberry and took a closer look. Hey, it was twice the size of the one he just ate!
She lowered her head and smelled it, but was surprised: "This seems to be quite fragrant. Go and wash it, and I'll have a taste."
Fu Chenan also watched the video and heard Xiao Yingchun talk about the idea of "Chou Chou Fruit Shop".
He immediately went to wash the fruits. After a while, a large basin of various fruits was brought over.
Xiao Yingchun immediately stuffed a small strawberry into his mouth.
The next second, her eyes suddenly widened, "Hmm..." It's so delicious!
This strawberry looks unremarkable, but it’s actually very sweet!
Not only is it sweet, but it also has a very strong strawberry fragrance.
The unique sweetness of strawberries made Xiao Yingchun feel like "I have never tasted such delicious strawberries."
She nodded wildly and pointed to the strawberry Amway Fu Chenan to try.
Fu Chenan also ate one in his mouth when he heard this, and his eyes widened: It is indeed more delicious than the strawberries Xiao Yingchun often buys here...
Xiao Yingchun swallowed the strawberry and touched the little cherry.
The cherries are not big either, they are bright red and small...
The rich sweetness of cherries made Xiao Yingchun squint her eyes in comfort.
After eating the cherries, she proudly pushed away all the fruits that the aunt had picked before.
"I won't eat this anymore, I will eat what you grow!"
"Sell this to the aristocratic families of your Tianwu Dynasty!"
