Fleeing the wasteland and farming: don't panic, the family's metaphysics boss

Chapter 274

The merchant raised his brows, took a sip from his teacup, put it down again, and then sighed: "Mu Country was attacked by Qu Country before, I didn't expect this news to reach Yinzhou."

Qingyu looked at the merchant with a half-smile, and pointed to the herbs on the tray on the table: "So these herbs are just right, aren't they?"

The merchant was flustered by those eyes.It's a strange feeling, the person sitting in front of him is only a half-grown child, but the eyes seem to see through everything, but they are so dark that people can't see through.

The merchant coughed lightly, hiding his unease, and nodded: "If the lady can really guarantee that all the medicinal materials are of this quality, then our price will naturally be negotiable.

Let me just say that the six grains in Mu country range from five taels to seven taels per stone. "

This price is slightly cheaper than the current price in Yinzhou.

Qingyu shook his head and said, "This is your grain price at the beginning of the year. This year, the weather in Mu country is good and the harvest is bumper. The price of grain now ranges from one stone to two taels to three taels."

The merchant was startled, and thought that this little girl was really not simple, and he probably had inquired about it in advance.

He thought for a while, decided to retreat, and asked: "Then dare to ask Miss, how much stone grain do you want in exchange?"

Yes, these medicinal materials are not traded in money, but in grain.

Qingyu said slowly: "There are still some medicinal herbs in our field that have not been harvested. After harvesting, I will give you three thousand stones.

I have also inquired about the prices of medicinal materials in Mu. Three thousand stones of medicinal materials can be sold for at least 5000 taels in your Mu country, and thirty-five taels of silver can be bought for at least [-] taels in your Mu country. food.

I also don't want you to come and bargain with me, so I just said, I want to exchange the three thousand stones of medicinal materials for eleven thousand stones of food.This should be acceptable to you. "

The merchant looked at Qingyu in astonishment, for no other reason than this price was the highest price he could afford.He is well aware of the prices in his country, and when he knew that there were nearly [-] shi of medicinal materials, he roughly estimated them in his heart.

Roughly estimated based on common trauma medicinal materials, it can be exchanged for 1 to [-] shi of grain.

Eleven thousand stones happened to be the highest range he could bear.

Could this little girl be able to read people's hearts?Because of being guessed the highest price in the center, the merchants were a little flustered, and even didn't know what to say for a while.

After thinking for a while, he finally said: "Miss, this calculation is right, but it's not right either.

Have you forgotten that the medicinal materials have to be transported to Mu country, and the grains have to be transported to Yinzhou. The distance between the two places is hundreds of miles. The transportation cost is not small. "

"So I only exchanged eleven thousand stones, and the rest can be used for you to transport medicinal materials back. As for the transport of food, don't worry, we will transport it ourselves, and we won't let you send it back."

This is really amazing, even the transportation has been calculated.

The merchant pondered again.In fact, the country of Mu really needs a lot of medicinal materials, and the current price of medicinal materials is only at the moment, and will rise soon, so he actually earns much more than he estimated now.

But this price is really far from what he expected. Although it is within the range he can accept, it is also the highest range, and I feel very uncomfortable after all.

So the merchant hesitated, wanting to agree but not wanting to agree so easily, quite entangled.

"You can inquire about the current price of medicinal materials in Yinzhou. If you hesitate, then my price will be more than that."

The pharmacy in Yinzhou has already started to increase the price, which means that the batch of [-] shi medicinal materials in her hands will increase in value.Compared with the depreciation of the other party's food, her medicinal materials are still increasing in value, and the result is obvious.

The merchant also understood in his heart how he would come to the door without any preparation. In fact, he had arrived in Yinzhou a few days earlier, but he was just inquiring about the prices in Yinzhou.

What the little girl said was exactly what he was worried about. He had only been here for a few days, and he saw the prices of the drugstores rising one after another. Although he didn't know the reason, it was not good for him, so this Come in a hurry today.

"If you've made up your mind, you can come to me again." Qing Yu slightly nodded in blessing, then got up, but wanted to leave.Shi'an followed suit.

The merchant was a little anxious, and quickly raised his hand to stop him, saying: "Miss, stay put. Three thousand shi of medicinal materials can be exchanged for [-] shi of grain, that's fine, but you must ensure that all the medicinal materials are of this high-grade quality, otherwise I can only give up on this deal." .”

Qing Yu stopped, sat down again, and said affirmatively: "Don't worry, the quality will never be inferior.

In addition, you can come again when the next harvest is harvested, and our medicinal materials will be continuously provided. "

The merchant asked puzzledly, "Madam, where did you get your medicinal materials?" He actually wanted to ask this question a long time ago. Yinzhou's medicinal materials are all bought from outside, so how can you sell them to others?
"We planted it ourselves. We have hundreds of acres of medicinal fields, and there will be more next year. So in the future, you can come and buy medicinal herbs during the harvest season, and the number will only increase."

These words have comforted the merchants a lot. For their merchants, there is nothing better than a long-term and stable supply of goods.

He was surprised again: "I didn't expect Yinzhou to have so many medicine fields." After all, Yinzhou is adjacent to Mu State, and he knows that most of the medicinal materials in Yinzhou are purchased from Daxia Puzhou.

It's a pity that Daxia doesn't have a second open state like Yinzhou that allows businessmen from various countries to trade.

After careful consideration, the merchant finally signed the letter, and the two parties made a contract, agreeing to barter on the fifteenth day of the next month, and then the merchant took his leave and prepared to leave.

But Qingyu stopped him and asked him to wait for a while, then left the main room with Shi'an, and after a while, the two of them came in carrying a dustpan.

Fifteen earthen pots were placed in the dustpan, which made the merchants puzzled.

Without waiting for the merchant to ask, Qingyu first opened a jar and handed the jar to the merchant, "This is the vinegar, sauce and soy sauce we brewed ourselves."

Although the merchant didn't know much about seasoning, he had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. As soon as the jar was opened, a very special aroma came out, which was completely different from the usual soy sauce.

He was very surprised: "Why is this smell so fragrant?"

Qingyu smiled and said: "Don't worry, eating it will only be good for your health. Of these fifteen jars, there are five jars each of vinegar, sauce, and soy sauce. I think I gave it to you.

But there is one condition, after you return to Mu country, sell these seasonings to your local restaurants. If they like it, you can come to me to pick up the goods in the future.In addition, my selling price for this can is two or two dollars. "

The merchant looked at the little girl in front of him in disbelief. He was here to do the medicine business, but this little girl opened up another business channel for him.

Seasoning is expensive, but it is necessary for life. Many ordinary people only have salt in their homes, but restaurants are different. These seasonings are the last thing in restaurants.

Merchants can smell that these seasonings at hand will definitely become goods that restaurants are scrambling for when they take them home.Because the taste is so unique and fragrant, even just smelling the seasoning can make people salivate and want to taste it, let alone make it into a dish, how delicious it is.

Thinking of this, the merchant immediately accepted it happily, went out and called a carriage, took fifteen earthen jars and left.
