Chapter 233

In late August, chili, a novel spice, became popular in the catering circles of Yuliang and Guliang counties, and it was encircling the richest Huangliang County.

In fact, at the beginning of August, the few restaurants that signed contracts with Fourteen had tasted the sweetness from the beginning, and sent people over to place a large number of orders.

Among them, the least order is one thousand catties, worth one hundred thousand yuan.The largest order was three thousand catties, with a total value of 30 yuan.

In the end, Shishi did not sell it, saying that because the number of peppers picked in the first year was limited, each family could only order at most [-] catties.

So these restaurants were in a hurry, for fear that the peppers would be robbed, and after buying all the remaining quota, they began to go other ways.Privately find a third party to buy peppers from Fourteen, and they are willing to pay an intermediary fee.

For one hundred yuan a catty of fresh chili, the agency fee can sometimes soar to twenty yuan a catty. It can be seen that the first batch of restaurants that cooperated with Fourteen really made money.

In addition to them, many people who were not involved in the catering industry also sent people to find out where the peppers were purchased, and then sent their family servants to Huangliang County to buy them.

Some of this group of people are either rich or expensive, and the rest are both rich and expensive.They asked Fourteen to buy chili peppers, and most of them bought toward the upper limit set by Fourteen, five hundred catties and five hundred catties.

Of course, I bought it not to eat, but to give as a gift.

The national power of the Dali Dynasty was strong, the folk customs were open, and the commercial development was definitely more developed than the surrounding small countries.Let's not talk about the common people at the bottom, only the high-ranking officials and nobles living in various prosperous places headed by the capital of the gods, the aristocratic families, what they love most are novelty and rare things.

Therefore, objects from foreign lands or Hudi are always more expensive than local ones.The rarer it is, the more sought after it is.

This is the case with the fourteen peppers, as if they suddenly appeared in Songzhou overnight, and then exploded immediately.

When it came to early August, even Fourteen was a little surprised by this battle.She thought that chili would be popular, but she didn't expect it to explode like a thunder.

For example, now, Meng Cishi's wife actually came to buy peppers from her in person.

"If madam likes it, just send someone to tell me. Why did you come here in person?"

Fourteen was in the field, and the new house hadn't been decorated yet, so Mrs. Meng could only be invited to sit in the dormitory of the drying base.

"I came here in person, of course there is a reason for me to come in person." Mrs. Meng did not greet Shisi more politely, "Firstly, I fell in love with you, and I happened to come to see you. Secondly, it was because of an unfeeling invitation, so I personally Come here and talk."

"Please tell me, Ma'am, if I can help, I will do my best." Fourteen still owes someone a favor here, and she is so polite, of course she should be even more polite.

"Then I'll get straight to the point." Mrs. Meng said directly, "I was entrusted by someone to come here to buy peppers from you."

As soon as she said that, Fourteen understood.

It is true that there are no chili peppers in the market now, because she stopped selling them.After selling 4000 catties of fresh peppers, she suspended the sale to the outside world.

The reason, of course, is to let the market be hungry again, and feed its appetite again.She originally planned to go to the mid-to-high-end market and develop steadily in the catering industry.

Unexpectedly, chili peppers were suddenly fired into a high-end luxury, "forced" to cross the circle and become top-notch, and there was a situation that it was hard to find in the market.

At the beginning of August, it was just someone paying a high intermediary fee to ask someone to help buy it. Half a month later, the price of peppers in the market tripled, and the fresh peppers from her hands were still [-] yuan a catty. You can sell three hundred Wen a catty with your hands.

This is only the price in the catering industry. According to Lin Er's inquiries, those wealthy families have already raised the price of chili peppers from the market to two to three thousand Wen per catty.

After Shisi heard about it, he stopped selling it immediately, and all the peppers picked from the field were received in the drying base, and spread out on the clean stone floor for drying.

The market has been opened, and all the resources are in her hands, but the scalpers have made a lot of money, which is too embarrassing.

Now that chili pepper has been praised as the top class, she will take advantage of the situation and lift it up again.

"Do you want to buy chili?" Fourteen had already guessed that Mrs. Meng probably didn't come here to buy chili for herself.But she didn't show it, and continued to ask: "How much does Madam need?"

"To tell you the truth, I was entrusted by someone to buy peppers from you for several families." Mrs. Meng was also a little embarrassed when she said this. After all, she also knew the rules here. The family is not allowed to buy peppers. More than five hundred catties.

"Ma'am, it's okay to say." Fourteen showed a kind smile, motioning for her to continue.

"Two thousand catties." After Madam Meng finished speaking, she looked at Fourteen, wondering if she would show a embarrassed expression.I am also ready to raise the price and try to get the two thousand catties of peppers into my hands.

Two thousand catties was a bit large, but it was within Fourteen's expectations.

Mrs. Meng bought it for others, and those people probably didn't buy it for food, and they were more likely to give it as a gift.Gift giving in official circles is often more particular than in other circles.

"Miss Xiao, can you sell these two thousand catties to me?" Mrs. Meng didn't see the embarrassed expression on Fourteen's face, so she gained some confidence.

"That's right." Fourteen explained, "The two thousand catties Madam said should be the kind of fresh peppers I sold before. But now that the peppers in the field are basically picked, the fresh peppers should be less than two thousand catties."

"In fact, after the peppers are dried in the sun, it is easier to transport and store after removing the water. Generally, six catties of fresh peppers can be dried to one catty of dried peppers. I suspended the sale of peppers because I wanted to dry all the peppers in the base before going out. out."

"To tell you the truth, excluding the peppers used for seeds, the remaining peppers add up to about a thousand catties after being dried in the sun."

"In that case, let's buy dried chilies." Mrs. Meng is a person who can make decisions.The people who asked her to help buy peppers were all relatives of Shendu, and of course they bought them as gifts.

Since Fourteen has already said, dried chili is more suitable for storage and transportation, and of course dried chili is better.

"Miss Xiao, can you sell me four hundred catties of dried peppers?" Mrs. Meng said, "Miss Xiao is a straightforward person. I don't have to shy away from what I can say when I talk to you. As for the price, you can say as much as you want. I will never bargain, and you don't have to take care of my face and sell it to me cheaply."

"I bought these for others. Of course they will give me money after I give them the goods. I can't afford it, so don't let yourself suffer."

……

The dried peppers that have been dried will be worth [-] catties, and Mrs. Meng took them away at once.

Seeing a group of servants escorting the carriage away, the villagers of Dawei Village who were working in the fields couldn't help but look around and discuss.

"Hey, where did the rich people come from? The battle is really big!"

"Who knows, rich people come here every day, and those who don't have money won't come here."

"This one is different, not the same as the ones before."

"How do you know it's different?"

"In the past, Qilang, Qiaoniang, and Lin Er entertained those people who came to buy peppers. Today, Fourteenth Niang personally entertained them. We talked for so long, so of course it's different."

"Yeah, Shichiro, is there a difference in the identity of the person who came today?"

"How would I know?" Xiao Qilang had been reminded by Tian Qiao a long time ago that he should be cautious about Shisi, "Didn't I work here with you all the time?"

Pepper picking is over and now they are pulling the roots out of the ground.This is physical work, so most of the recruits are strong laborers.There were only three or four little girls who sifted with Tian Qiao at the end to make sure that there would be no missed fruit on each pepper.

Although the last remaining ones are all in poor condition, and some are not as big as fingernails, but no matter how small they are, they are still peppers.

As soon as Tian Qiao remembered what Lin Er said about the price of peppers on the market, she wished she could check every leaf with her own hands, as it would be an insult to her eyesight to let go of any pepper the size of a millet grain.

"Hurry up, everyone, pull out all these, and grow wheat quickly after pulling out." Xiao Qilang changed the topic and urged the big guys to move faster.

After planting this season of peppers, the land is still idle, and Shisi plans to grow winter wheat like an ordinary farmer.However, it is not only the eighty mu of land that needs to be sown, but thousands of mu of land.

After the money was abundant, she quickly purchased a large amount of land.There are also fertile lands, but most of them are wastelands, all of which are concentrated in Huangliang County. .

Whether it is a peaceful and prosperous world or the chaos that will come more than ten years later, buying land can never go wrong.Make money in prosperous times, store up food and protect yourself in troubled times.
