Rebirth and farming: the prosperous days of the eldest sister of Nongmen

Chapter 6 Buying Oranges

Ye Xing naturally agreed, and after giving Fang Zi and calculating the money, Ye Xing didn't leave in a hurry, but asked carefully about the business in the store.

"Boss Tong, how much hot tea can our Tong's house sell in a day?"

"Hey, that's not necessarily the case. When the business is low, it's less than a hundred bowls a day. If everyone comes out to listen to music and watch plays during the Chinese New Year, the whole upstairs and downstairs are full of people. At least five or six Hundred!"

When it comes to the business of the Tong's House, Tong Guanshi is excited. Although the Tong's House is not the largest house in Xunyang Prefecture, it is at the top of the list anyway. The business has been smooth and stable for so many years.

"Little lady, are you still worried that our Washe won't be able to eat your business?"

Ye Xing quickly denied it: "No, no, I just want to know, so that I can supply it by then. After all, the business of Tong's cottage is bound to be very hot as the new year is approaching."

"That's the truth. This orange and ginger tea girl should prepare more. It will only get colder and colder in the future. It is necessary for the guests who come in to drink a cup of ginger tea to warm up. By the way, little lady Next time you want to make dim sum, you can consider those with a strong fragrance and delicate appearance, as ladies and gentlemen of rich families are more particular about it.”

"Thank you, Manager Tong, for your suggestion. I'll go back and think about it!"

When Ye Xing came out of the Tong's house again, there was an ingot of ten taels of silver and three hundred copper coins in his arms. With the money by his side, Ye Xing walked around Fucheng with confidence.

Ye Xing took a look at the foods sold in Fucheng. Ordinary biscuits cost a penny, meat buns with stuffing cost three pennies, and vegetarian ones only cost two pennies. But most of the dim sum shops sell exquisite peony cakes and hibiscus cakes. Desserts are several times more expensive.Ye Xing secretly looked at the dim sum shop's business, and she also wanted to open a shop in Fucheng that specializes in selling food. By that time, she would definitely make more money than she does now.

But Ye Xing is a cautious person, she didn't buy anything except two catties of mutton for the family and candy for Ye Tao, so she went straight to the place that sells fresh fruits and vegetables.In the golden autumn season, sure enough, most of the stalls are selling oranges.

"Little lady, let's take a look at the oranges, my ones are big and sweet."

"My family's is also good. The pulp inside is as sweet as honey. I guarantee that you will never want to eat sugar after eating it."

When the fruit sellers saw someone looking at their stalls, they immediately shouted vigorously, and all of them praised the fruit sold by the family to the sky.

Since Washe needed a lot of tea, Ye Xing skipped those small vendors and walked to a large orange stand, where his oranges were packed into cages.

"Old man, how do you sell your oranges?"

"My family sells one cage by one, and one hundred catties per cage, how can the little lady want so much?"

Sure enough, this shop was wholesale, which was exactly what Ye Xing wanted.She picked up oranges in a cage and asked, "I want a lot, how much is a cage like this?"

"This cage costs [-] Wen." The old man was afraid that Ye Xing would think the price was too high, so he quickly added, "This is a good product, with thin skin, big stuffing, and plenty of juice. Many rich people also buy my oranges! "

Ye Xing pointed to the one next to it and asked, "What about this one?"

"That kind only costs [-] Wen, but although it doesn't look good, it tastes good!" The old man hurriedly gave Ye Xing a small orange to taste.

Ye Xing tasted one that was really sweet and sour, and calculated the cost in her mind. One hundred catties can make 150 cans of orange ginger tea. After deducting the cost of ginger and sugar, one hundred catties can make a net profit of ten taels of silver.Ye Xing thought it was feasible, and immediately made a decision.

"I want [-] Wen a cage, I'll add another [-] Wen and you send it to Yejia Village tomorrow, and send me a cage every five days."

When the old man heard that this was a long-term business, and that Yejia Village was not too far away, he immediately responded with a happy smile: "I didn't expect that the little lady is really a straightforward person. Don't worry, I will personally deliver it to you tomorrow morning. It will definitely not delay the little lady's money. !"

Ye Xing is clever when he wants to do business in the market, and he immediately guessed that he is also doing business, and making her spend a lot of money to go out can make people feel happy, no wonder he can do it among a bunch of loose goods. Wholesale business.

After paying a deposit of [-] wen readily, Ye Xing went home with the rest of the money and things.Ye Tao, who was squatting at the door to play, looked up and saw Ye Xing carrying a basket on her back, and jumped up happily.

"Sister, sister is back!"

Mrs. Wang, who was leaning against the door and doing embroidery work, stood up happily when she heard this, and hurried forward to help Ye Xing take the basket. After entering the house, she was busy pouring hot water for Ye Xing.

"It really sold according to the number of pieces?"

"Of course, Guanshi Tong has been working for so many years and knows that this is very troublesome to deal with. Why don't you let me prepare it for him and send it to him." Ye Xing thinks this is better than just selling prescriptions. Selling prescriptions is not a long-term solution, besides There are still many things that have not been introduced in this dynasty, and it will become more and more difficult to figure out new recipes in the future.

"After the orange ginger tea is agreed, give us a can of 150 renminbi. They will sell the can. At least in five months of cold weather, we can sell a lot of it. It's much better than buying it out with ten taels of silver at once! When we have it If you have money, you can open a shop, and when the time comes, you can do whatever is delicious.”

When Ye Tao heard the three words delicious, she immediately became excited and shouted: "It's delicious, I eat delicious food too!"

Ye Xing quickly took out a bag of candies from the basket, and stuffed one into Ye Tao's mouth, Ye Tao's eyes lit up: "Such sweet candies!"

Ye Xing also gave Wang one, and Wang shook his head and said, "You guys eat, candy is for children."

Ye Xing knew that Mrs. Wang was reluctant, so she put one in her mouth, and forced another one to Mrs. Wang.

"Mom, don't be reluctant, you can eat this candy, I have something to ask you for help tomorrow! I'm ashamed to say if I don't eat it!"

Mrs. Wang ate the candy in embarrassment, nodded slightly and said: "Silly girl, what are you talking about, just tell your mother if you have anything to do, and the whole family can say what they want to help or not."

Ye Xing really needs help from Mrs. Wang, "Guard Tong reminded me today to make something with a strong fragrance and exquisite appearance. When I came home, I saw sweet-scented osmanthus all the way. What do you think is better in autumn?" Is sweet-scented osmanthus more fragrant? Besides, we have a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus, and we can pick them without much effort. I plan to make some sweet-scented osmanthus snacks next time to sell."

Wang said with a smile, "What's the problem? I'll pick some for you tomorrow. You really have new ideas every day now. My mother is old, and I can't compare to you young people."

"Haha, I just heard someone read two lines of poems in Fucheng that 'Osmanthus osmanthus has never bloomed, and this year the flowers bloomed to everyone's surprise'. Since the scholar specially read two lines, it is really a good thing to come to sweet-scented osmanthus. Mom, how much do you want tomorrow? Pick some, it’s also good for us to keep the sweet-scented osmanthus nectar or dry it in the sun.”

Ye Xing felt that it was too difficult to pretend to be illiterate. When her life became stable, she had to buy books and study. Then she would take Ye Tao and Wang to read and read together, and they would not suffer from being illiterate again.
