Chapter 256 Encounter in Fucheng
When Boss Ji entered the village again, he found that the villagers were busy picking strawberries in the back mountain, but there was not even a merchant in the village who had purchased the goods. He did not understand the meaning of the villagers' actions.
Unable to figure it out, he went directly to Shen Ying, "Village Chief, I'm here again."
"Hey! Isn't this Boss Ji! Welcome." Shen Ying smiled broadly. , full of energy.
This reaction really surprised Boss Ji, "Village Chief, is it possible that you have sold all your strawberries?"
Otherwise, why would Shen Ying be so happy!
Shen Ying laughed loudly, "No, no, we haven't sold them yet! As Boss Ji said, this year's strawberries are not delicious, so we have no plans to sell strawberries."
" Huh?" Boss Ji became even more immobile.
Shen Ying didn't try to talk to him, she just took out a jar of strawberry jam and put it in front of him, "Boss Ji, what do you think of this thing?"
Boss Ji didn't know why, so he took a closer look. After looking at it, he commented seriously: "Good! The green glaze on the white background is still azure. It has a kind of beauty of misty mist and misty rain after the rain. The strawberries on it are also vividly painted. Eh! No, these strawberries don't seem to be painted on. , it’s painted and then fired, what a great craftsmanship!”
Shen Ying couldn't stop laughing when she heard this, "Boss Ji is great, but I don't understand the old man you are talking about. I want you to taste whether the food in here is delicious."
Boss Ji was stunned for a moment. He started subconsciously, and when he opened the lid, a strong sweet aroma of strawberries hit his face, which really surprised him.
Shen Ying handed over a spoon. Boss Ji took a bite and licked it gently with his tongue, his eyes widened.
Shen Ying said: "Put it under the quilt, make some water and drink it."
Boss Ji made a glass of water as instructed, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help nodding, "Wonderful! This water is sweet with a slight sourness. Drinking it can quench your thirst and make your mouth taste fragrant. Village chief, you are really awesome!”
He already understood what Shen Ying meant, and he really admired it, "How does the village chief plan to sell this thing?"
Shen Ying took a deep breath, and her expression became more serious, "Boss Ji has also seen this jar, right? Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s just talk about how much this jar is.”
Boss Ji couldn’t laugh or cry, “Village Chief, don’t beat around the bush and just say it. This jar is indeed worth a lot of money.”
< br> Shen Ying nodded with satisfaction, "Actually, I wanted to sell a jar of strawberry jam like this for 500 yuan, but Su Tai said that she wanted to give money to the merchant, so we discussed it and finally set the price for one jar. Three hundred and fifty articles.
Don't worry, Boss Ji. Listen to me carefully. First of all, I went to the town to ask about this jar. People said that such a jar can be used as an ornament. Each one costs at least one or two hundred cents, or even more, and there's also strawberry jam. You know what's going on with the strawberries this year. We use the best sugar to make it.
You didn’t taste the caramel when you tasted it just now! It only has the sweet aroma of strawberry, and the ingredients are not cheap! We are just about to protect our capital with three hundred and fifty coins. ”
Boss Ji really felt that three hundred and fifty cents was too expensive, and wanted to cut the price to three hundred cents, but this exquisite white porcelain jar was placed in front of him, and he would settle the accounts himself until Shen Ying The price was not high, but the bargaining seemed a bit weak.
Shen Ying talked about the difficulty of making the strawberry jam.
This time, the boss stopped bargaining. "good! That’s it, I’ll ask for a thousand cans first. If the sales are good, I’ll come to the village chief to continue our cooperation. "
"Easy to say, easy to say! "Shen Ying quickly took Boss Ji to pick up the goods.
On Su Tai's side, Xiao Xi is also ready.
"Madam, don't worry, I will definitely sell these five thousand jars of strawberry jam. I won't come back until I sell them all!" Xiao Xi assured with confidence.
Su Tai was happy and worried, "It doesn't matter if we can't sell out, safety first."
Xiao Xi nodded obediently. Following several bullock carts on the road.
The destination of her trip this time was Fucheng, with the merchants she had cooperated with before, including the big merchant. The strawberry jam this year was more delicious than the strawberries, so she was very confident about this trip.
Wait until we arrived in Fucheng.
Xiao Xi first found a reliable inn to stay with her ox cart pair. Before she could rest, she ran to the shopkeeper to sell strawberry jam.
Seeing that they were a caravan, the shopkeeper didn’t dare to give in. He was just perfunctory at first, but he didn’t expect that the strawberry jam was more delicious than he expected. He immediately asked Xiao Xi for twenty cans for the kitchen. The chef cooking up a dessert.
Xiao Xi got off to a good start and visited several dim sum shops in Fucheng non-stop.
Everyone is a businessman, so they can naturally tell the quality of things. Among other things, they can’t miss the taste of strawberry jam and the exquisite white porcelain jars. However, at first, everyone did not dare to order in large quantities because of this. One house has thirty or fifty cans, and that house has twenty or thirty cans.
Xiao Xi was not in a hurry. After reporting the inn where she was staying, she went back to the inn to wait for the news.
The next day, several merchants came to the door voluntarily, offering orders for hundreds of cans.
The big merchant also showed up. Xiaoxi talked with him for a long time and finally sold him two thousand jars of strawberry jam.
As a result, she was left with more than a thousand jars of strawberry jam.
This is only her second day in Fucheng, and the remaining goods will be sold out in less than two days.
Xiao Xi was in a good mood. She had eaten in the lobby of the inn and was about to go back when she saw a group of officials carrying several people in.
Little people instinctively seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Xiao Xi immediately hid on the side and accidentally glanced at Su Chunlin on the stretcher, and immediately shouted, "Uncle!"< br>
"Xiao Xi? Why are you here!" Su Chunlin was so anxious that he sat up.
Liu Jianzhang took a look and realized that they knew each other. He immediately stepped forward and told Xiao Xi the situation, "Little girl, we are official officers responsible for transporting soldiers who died in battle. We can't just stay. Since you know each other, I Can I give them to you?”
Xiao Xi nodded vaguely and stuffed Liu Jianzhang with twenty taels of silver, "Thank you for your hard work, sir. You can use the money to sell some wine. If you need my help, just ask."
Liu Jianzhang got the money. , his attitude became more and more friendly, "No, no, no, we have to go to various counties to report the news. Originally, Shen Baichang asked us to send them back to Zhaohua County, but it will take time for them to return to the village from the county, and we can't send them. It just so happens that you I know, it should be no problem for me to hand them over to you.”
“No problem, no problem, I promise to send them home safely.” Xiao Xi could not wait to swear to the sky.
Liu Jianzhang was even happier. He said a few polite words to Su Chunlin and the others before leading them away.
Xiao Xi quickly asked the shopkeeper to open a few more guest rooms and help them carry them in.
Wait for the helper to leave.
Xiao Xi quickly closed the door and asked excitedly: "Uncle, why are you back? Are you not fighting anymore?"
Su Chunlin shook his head happily and sighed, " How is that possible! Because we are older and more seriously injured this time, staying in the military camp is a drag. My son-in-law found a way to get around and sent us back. Why are you in Fucheng? "
