Chapter 7 Tooth Extraction

Zhang Fu, who was next to him, was shocked when he heard that his son actually took the initiative to increase a cucumber from two to one hundred.

He hurriedly came over, "Sanlang, you can buy half acre of slopes for a hundred cents, so it's too outrageous to buy a cucumber."

Zhang Chao put his lamb legs on his hand and smiled disapprovingly.

A bite of roasted lamb legs and a bite of cucumber will not only relieve greasyness and wateriness.

"This cucumber is a good thing, but it depends on whoever is in his hands. This way, it is not easy for you to come from Jiangnan. I just treat it as a good deed. I have packed all these cucumbers together. A hundred pieces, right? I will give you a thousand dollars."

A hundred or a thousand coins is ten cents per piece.

Guo Tuzi was surprised. He used to order a price of two yuan per piece at home, but now it has increased by five times at once. This is still a wholesale price of 10 yuan.

Yang Dayan felt that things were abnormal. He heard that the Zhang family and his son were bullies, but he never heard that the Zhang family and his son were idiots. This kind of refreshing spirit that directly gave high prices should not be Zhang Xiaobawang's style.

"Do you have any conditions?"

Li Xiao asked calmly.

Zhang Chao smiled and said, "Haha, you are very interesting and smart. I like to deal with smart people the most and can save a lot of things. This money is nothing to give you, but there is one condition. I believe that you can only bring a hundred cucumbers from Yangzhou, south of the Yangtze River."

Everyone is in a different position, has different vision, and wants different things. If these cucumbers are placed in front of ordinary earth wealth, they will at most be rare winter cucumbers, which will grow more watery.

But Zhang Chao's little bully in the countryside is the little bully, but he is at the foot of the emperor and often goes to Chang'an. Although he is not qualified to date the top dandy in Chang'an, he also touches the side of the noble circle.

The twelfth lunar month of the year is a good season for gifts.

Although this cucumber is not valuable, it is rare and fresh. The nobles and wealthy families in Chang'an sometimes don't care about gold and silver, but they just care about these rare and fresh things.

If you use cucumbers as a stepping stone and send them to Chang'an, your friends will probably be appreciated.

Of course, Zhang Chao also saw a business opportunity from it.

He has never seen a second cucumber in Li Xiao's hand. If he could master the channels for this cucumber and sell it to Chang'an Noble House and those big restaurants, he would definitely make a fortune, and he would not make less money.

Scarcity is precious.

Ordinary people may think that a pound of cucumber costs ten cents, which is more expensive than eating meat, and they will not eat it at all. But who would care about 10 cents? What they eat is not money, but rare and fresh.

"This money is the money for these hundred cucumbers. As long as you continue to supply me with this jasper green after you go back, then I will pack as much as I can in the future. Of course, it is impossible to calculate it for ten cents every one. I will give you a discount. How about five cents every one?

As he said that, Zhang Chao stretched out a greasy thug and slapped Li Xiao's shoulder directly.

Li Xiao passed by without a trace.

"Young Master, we are actually just delivery people. As for continuing to deliver cucumbers to you in the future, we can't make the decision. Moreover, we are not here to deliver Jade Green this time. Jade Green is just a sideline. Otherwise, we would send 100 Jade Green from Yangzhou, and our team of people, even if one is one hundred, we will still pay the bill."

Zhang Chao was a little dissatisfied.

Why is this little vendor still so difficult to speak?

"You really only have a hundred cucumbers in your hands?"

"It's true that there are only one hundred, no, it's true that there are only ninety-nine left now, and the 1000 has been eaten by the young master."

Zhang Chao pinched his chin and thought, "This cucumber is indeed produced by Qiyunguan, Yangzhou?"

"really."

"Then aren't these cucumbers grown in greenhouses?"

"Of course it is impossible. How can such good cucumbers be grown in greenhouses? The young master lives at the foot of the emperor and often goes to Chang'an. I have never seen green vegetables grown in greenhouses. No matter how good they grow, can't they grow in greenhouses grow so well?"

The more I said that, the more I thought this was a big business opportunity.

A greedy gaze flashed in his eyes. If he could get the new variety that Qi Yunguan had cultivated for eighteen years, he would not have to plant this jade green in Lanxi from now on.

"Do you know how this jasper green is planted?"

Li Xiao smiled.

"Of course we don't know about this. Jade Green was cultivated by Zhang Xianren in Qi Yunguan for 18 years. It is said that Zhang Xianren only planted a small piece, and this kind of seedling is extremely capable of growing, especially the seeds must be planted by Zhang Xianren's hands. It is impossible to sprout directly using Jade Green's seeds."

"Oh, that's it." Zhang Chao was a little disappointed, but he became even more excited. The more he said this, the more business opportunities this Jade Green is, and the more valuable it is.

Li Xiao knew very well what the hell was in Zhang Chao's stomach. It would be strange if people didn't have greed when facing rare things like Biyuqing.

"Mr. Zhang, we only have these hundred jade greens in our hands now. If Mr. Zhang wants it, we are happy to sell one item, but the price must be discussed again. Ten cents are too cheap. Just think about it. This thing is so extraordinary and so strange. It is still transported from Yangzhou, Jiangnan and preserved so fresh in the winter. You will know how difficult it is. If Mr. Zhang eats these jade greens, with your relationship, it will be easy to make several times the money in Chang'an. If you give it to someone, it will be even more satisfying."

"Ten cents are a lot, but a pound of pork costs only five cents." Zhang Chao put on airs.

Li Xiao and Zhang Chao bargained.

But they all ask for a lot of money and pay it back locally.

Guo Biao and Yang Dayan were on the side without saying a word, but they didn't know what to say. When they came, they thought it was expensive. Now they were arguing about twenty or thirty or thirty words, which really made me unable to understand.

"Twenty-five tinsels per piece!"

"twenty."

Li Xiao gave a thumbs up, "Okay, just twenty pennies per piece, the deal will be completed!"

Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment, but immediately laughed.

"Twenty is twenty, and about two cents of money is just two cents. I really don't feel at ease with this amount of money, just think it's just buying fresh ones."

Li Xiao was also very satisfied with this transaction. One hundred cucumbers sold for 100 stones of corn, which was like robbing money. Especially this money was stolen from the hands of the little bully Zhang Chao, which made it even more comfortable to think about it.

After the deal was negotiated, there was no outstripping. Zhang Chao asked Li Xiao to leave cucumbers and then asked Zhang Fu to go to the counter to get the money.

After two stale payments, Zhang Fu finally brought five hundred coins and one and a half pieces of silk.

Silk and silk were used as currency, which was also the characteristic of the Tang Dynasty. Money and silk were used together. At this time, a piece of silk was worth about ten stones of rice, worth about one thousand coins. Therefore, the Zhang family did not do anything to pay for the goods, but instead gave a little more.

"After going back, if you can get more cucumbers, I will collect as much as I can. If you can get a method of cultivation, I will give you a fortune." Zhang Chao personally delivered it to the door and seduced Li Xiao.

Li Xiao nodded with a smile, then waved his hand and took a few people away.

Zhang Cong Liu and Liu were carrying a bag of copper coins and a bundle of silk, and followed behind with excitement on their faces.
