Chapter 94 How Much Can Seafood Earn in Chang'an?
"Oh, I met him at the small market on West Street." Tang Zangyue opened up and said, "At that time, Xiaoyi suffered a disadvantage, and out of humanitarianism, he stepped forward to help him out of the siege. Fate. Later, he invited me to his home, and when he heard the difficulties I mentioned, he recommended you to me...but is there any inconvenience?"

Brother Chen: "Let me think about it for a few days."

Tang Zangyue was naturally fine.

"Of course. It's just that I can stay in Chang'an for a few days at most, Brother Chen, and give Tang a reply as soon as possible?" Tang Zangyue hesitated, and said: "If the matter fails, I can pay 25 taels. If the matter is successful, there will be 100 taels of thanks. "

100 two!

Brother Chen's pupils shrank.

The children in the family are at the age of marriage, and the yard at home is not enough to live in, so they can only buy a yard.How expensive is the land in Chang'an?Even if it is sold... the silver taels obtained are still far behind.

Brother Chen's eyes darkened, and he said, "Okay, I'll give you an answer tomorrow. I don't know where Brother Tang lives?"

"Fulai Inn."

On the way to leave, Tang Zangyue recalled the other party's reaction.

When mentioning Xiaoyi, both he and the woman were wary of her, obviously guilty of guilt and worried about her origin.

But when it comes to remuneration, the man's reaction is a bit abnormal.

It turned out to be for money.

Tang Zangyue regained her composure and prepared to eat from other stalls.

On the first day in Chang'an, I ate wontons.The noodles I ate yesterday, I plan to try rice noodles today.

Chang'an's rice noodles are as thick as a thumb, which is equivalent to the potato noodles of later generations. Tang Zangyue is not very used to eating them.She is still used to the thickness of snail noodles or Mianyang rice noodles.

But the taste is not bad, with sauerkraut and shredded pork inside, you can see oily flowers on the surface.

……

On the side of Big Brother Chen, he mentioned the matter to Aunt Chen, and the latter's eyes lit up, "Why don't you earn money if you have money? Besides, the money is not low..."

"I'll go to the market he mentioned first to inquire about it."

"Tossing around." Mrs. Chen complained, but she didn't stop his behavior.

Just in case.

Although their family has benefited from such insidious things, but if it were her, who would want her own mother's life?Even if this person was a life and death friend with him before.

I'm afraid that this brother surnamed Tang is Xiao Yi who came to find fault and test him after he found out the truth.

The scene where Tang Zangyue and Xiao Yi met "for the first time" was seen by many people, and Brother Chen soon found out.

The West Street Pork Vendor and Big Brother Chen are familiar, and he repeated the scene of that day vividly, and finally said: "The businessman is eloquent. It can be seen that he has read books before, and he is full of ink. At that time, he couldn't stand it anymore, so he went." He is a chivalrous man, if he hadn't appeared, I would have been deceived by the voices around me and that poor old man! No, someone came to trouble the old man again today, and asked the old man to clean up the stall directly, so he didn't even dare to do business the...

He deserves it too!It was agreed that one male and one female rabbit would be priced at [-] renminbi, which clearly killed the guest officer, but he insisted on choosing two male rabbits for the guest officer!How does this make other people raise little rabbits?

Later I heard that the old man had done the same business on East Street, and he didn’t move to West Street until his reputation on the east side became bad.The purpose, isn't it to prevent more and more little rabbits, and I have no business to do?

Bah, this black-hearted thing. "

Brother Chen asked the most concerned question after listening to the other party: "Did they really not know each other before?"

The pork vendor was far away at the time, and because there was business at the stall, I didn't hear what the two had talked about, but later it was mentioned that the merchant was just helping when he saw injustice.

The pork vendor nodded affirmatively, and asked suspiciously, "I don't know, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

On the second day, Brother Chen found the Fulai Inn and asked about the wing room where Tang Zangyue lived.

Tang Zangyue opened the door and invited people inside.

Brother Chen cut to the chase and said, "I promise you."

In the past, Big Brother Chen might not have any connections, but after he betrayed his promise and took action against Xiao Yi's family, he made connections.

Brother Chen made a preliminary judgment after asking what she wanted to sell and what to buy.

Tang Zangyue: "There is no shortage of food in the capital at the foot of the Son of Heaven. I need a lot of cheap old grain and common herbs, and then I will visit all parts of Chu State in exchange for goods from major regions. As for the things to be sold in the capital, and the buyers for them ...Naturally, Brother Chen listed them first for my reference.

I'm selling coconuts and fresh seafood from the coast. "

Brother Chen was a little surprised.He asked, "What is a coconut?"

"The juice is clear and sweet, and can be used to make soup. The coconut fruit can also be used directly. The price is set at 100 pennies a piece, because the transportation is really inconvenient."

Coconuts worth two taels a piece were set at 100 taels of silver by her, and she had more than 3000 coconuts in her space, and she had to sell more than 2000, which meant a net profit of 200 taels of silver.

Rare things are valuable, and coconuts are in Chang'an, so she doesn't plan to sell them all at once, and stop when coconuts are no longer rare in Chang'an.

The big head is still on the seafood.

She asked the inn, fresh prawns cost [-] Wen per piece.

Counting fresh shrimp alone, she has nearly a thousand catties, which is about ten thousand.The prawns here are kept fresh. Although they are dead, they can be discounted, selling for [-] yuan each, and the taste is the same.

In general terms, it can sell 8000 taels of silver, and after deducting the price of more than 600 catties of grain, there are about three taels of silver, and the net profit is only a small fraction...

Too profitable.

The unit prices of crabs, sea cucumbers, oysters, and abalones are higher, and they will only make more money.

Tang Zangyue said again: "I have inquired about the price of fresh seafood in Chang'an, and a live shrimp costs one tael of silver. Although my shrimp is not live, it is almost as fresh as live shrimp, but it needs to be eaten on the same day. , otherwise the longer it is stored, the more it will lose its freshness, so I sell it for [-] yuan each."

Brother Chen: "Do you want to sell fresh seafood?"

Tang Zangyue nodded, "You can help me find someone, and I can negotiate the rest by myself."

In fact, she had already negotiated a deal at the Fulai Inn, but the other party didn't want much, so she could only reach out to the dignitaries.

Some dignitaries lived extravagantly and had ice in their cellars. Maybe they bought these things to store and enjoy them before spring came.No matter how bad it is, fresh seafood can also be on the table for entertaining other people who want to make friends.

Brother Chen listed several contacts for Tang Zangyue on the spot.

One is an official of the sixth rank, and his family is not short of money. He looks poor, but actually lives more luxuriously than many first-rank ministers; the other is a wealthy businessman, who is shrewd and does not want to be limited to business. , to buy an official Dangdang for his son...

Brother Chen talked about several people one after another, and Tang Zangyue finally settled on the first two.

Brother Chen is also partial to these two, otherwise he wouldn't be the first to mention it to Tang Zangyue.He nodded in response and said, "I will reply to you tonight at most."

Tang Zangyue nodded: "Okay."

When Big Brother Chen came out of the Fulai Inn, he was not in a hurry to negotiate the deal, but went to Xiaoyi's house and brought a dozen catties of pork with him, which seemed to be full of sincerity.

In fact, since he betrayed Xiao Yi, he hadn't set foot in this yard for a long time because of his guilty conscience.
