Villager of Daming

Chapter 387

"Li Chief, write a letter and send it to the King of Qin in a while, and ask him to send it in quickly, and tell His Majesty that if you trade horses with the Tibetans, you will be given a horse of fifty catties of tea at most."

Zhu Wentian was in a hurry, it was all money!It cannot be lost in vain.

It is written in the records: At the beginning of the production, Chang Hexi and other Fan merchants entered Yazhou Yicha with horses, and entered Lizhou from Yanzhouwei, Sichuan.The tea and horse department set a price, one horse, one thousand eight hundred catties of tea, and it was given by the tea department in Diaomen.

It was at the beginning of the horse exchange that foreign merchants brought their horses to Yazhou to sell them. One horse was exchanged for [-] catties of tea, and then they gave it to them.

This is not a joke!What horse is worth [-] catties of tea?

Why should I sell it to you?I can't sell it domestically. Drinking some tea once in a while is good for your health.

People buy tea so expensive, where do you just agree?

"Li Chang, top-grade horses weigh fifty catties, middle-class horses weigh forty catties, and foals thirty catties.

Now that we have finished fighting Beiyuan, there are many places to raise livestock and there is no shortage of horses, but they cannot do without tea.

We belong to the seller's market, do they dare to fight with us?Just when the army finished fighting, Bei Yuan went to beat them. "

Zhu Wentian fixed the price, that's all, and when there are more Daming, it will be lowered.

Horses are different from tea leaves. If the Ming Dynasty did not change the horses, they could still live. If the foreigners did not change the tea leaves, they would die.

"Oh! I'll write right away." The chief put down his chopsticks, looked for the Four Treasures of the Study, finished writing, and then went to Zhu Xi.

"His Royal Highness Qin Wang, there is an urgent matter to send a letter to the palace, you...you have to help me after eating."

The head of the village saw Qin Wang Zhu Xing eating boxed lunch, so it was not good to urge him to leave now.

Zhu Xing threw his chopsticks: "I don't want food, I'm going now, get me some cooked food, I'll drink with you when I come back."

He even took the letter and ran away with his guards.

The village chief went upstairs: "He wants cooked food and wine."

Zhu Wentian put down his chopsticks: "Then let's throw away this meal! It's not easy to give it to others. It doesn't feel bad to throw away a three-cent lunch box."

"Throw it away! Take it back to the village to feed the dogs. I'll go to the deli to pick up the food. Opening another store will make it easier for us to eat!"

The chief didn't feel bad either, so he turned around and went downstairs to the store over there to pick up his things.

Zhu Xi ran across the Xuanjin Bridge, entered the Xihua Gate, got into a car, and the guards pedaled quickly to the Prince's Mansion.

When they arrived at the place, the Ming people informed, and Zhu Biao came out: "Second brother, have you eaten yet?"

"I'm eating now! The chief asked me to deliver the letter, and I'll go back and find him and Hanhan for a drink."

Zhu Xi took out the letter, handed it over, turned around and left.

"Hey..." Zhu Biao saw his brother in a hurry, shook his head, and went in with the letter.

He went to the study first, took out the letter to read, and stood up shyly: "Quickly, go find Father."

Zhu Biao ran to the palace. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't go to the harem for lunch today, but ate in his office.

"Biao'er is here? Are you..." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and asked.

"Father, take a look at the letter from the village chief." Zhu Biao didn't talk nonsense.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned when he read the letter, and then he slapped the table: "How can it be reasonable to exchange [-] catties of tea for a horse? We can't do this even with horse bones in Qianjin City.

Hurry up, make an order and draft an edict. According to Xiaqiu Village, fifty catties is not bad, and it must be a good horse.

Be quick, if you delay for one more day, you don't know how much you will lose.

If the people from the foreign countries refused to exchange, they would lower the price to forty catties for a horse, and if they refused, it would be thirty catties for a horse.

If you want to change or not, if you don't want to change and pull down, do you think we are short of their horses?

Guard the gates and alleys for us, whoever dares to smuggle a catty of tea out, kill! "

Zhu Yuanzhang was also in a hurry, my God!Is it easy to earn some money through hard work?Just like that, he was tricked away.

then……

In a quarter of an hour, in just a quarter of an hour, the official documents of the imperial court were sent out, and a group of people rode fast horses to Sichuan without going by water at all.

……

"It's not bad to eat here, and there are many people shopping." Zhu Xi came to the upstairs of the deli to sit and eat.

The chief wanted to get cooked food, but found that there were too many kinds to choose from, so he had to come back empty-handed.

When Zhu Xi arrived at the store, he was dragged over and asked him to choose.

There are quite a few people in the deli, and they choose a variety of deli.

There are meat and vegetables, and there are foods processed in various ways such as stewed, sauced, smoked, steamed, fried, fried, roasted, grilled, and mixed.

The mixing is not done directly, but there are many dishes for customers to choose, and they will be mixed after the selection.

Sausages, stuffed seeds, eggplant boxes, lotus root boxes, breaded chicken legs, chicken wings, small fish, etc.

As for other ducks, pigs, sheep, and cattle, there are also everything that one expects to find. The cattle depends on luck.

There are more mixed vegetables, bamboo shoots, thousands of shreds, cold skin, mung bean powder, duck blood, kelp shreds, stone cauliflower...

The key is to choose salty, spicy, sour and sweet. The spicy one naturally has cornel oil, which is expensive.

Generally, scallion oil is added when mixing soy products, which has a different taste.

It's a pity that there is no spicy oil, but there are garlic sauce, oyster sauce, shrimp oil, etc.

Zhu Xi was dazzled by the sight. He wanted to eat everything, but he was afraid that it would be wasted if he couldn't finish it.

Finally, I chose some mixed vegetables, including pig ears mixed with cucumber and shredded green onion.

Then cut half a sausage, because someone bought half and asked for half, and sold it, and he was afraid that no one would buy the remaining half, so he ate it himself.

Lichang chooses lamb tendon and fried small fish, and Zhu Wentian wants sauced pork ribs.

The things selected by the three people are also eaten together at the top, and there are not many choices, and if there is not enough to eat, go down to get them.

Other customers use a pack of oiled paper after buying, the hemp rope is ready, and they carry it away.

Right now, Zhu Xi watched others enter and leave the store, and found that the business could be done.

"The more types of products, the easier it is to sell. Some people come here for one kind of thing, but they want to eat it when they see something else." The head of the village talked about consumer psychology.

"What do you do with the unsold ones yesterday?" Zhu Xi saw that it opened yesterday, but he didn't know where the leftovers went.

"Basically there is nothing left over from deep-fried food, because you don't fry so much at one time.

Sauce, marinated, and smoked ones can be stored for two more days, and today I will sell some yesterday’s ones, and if I can’t sell them today, I can eat them myself.

In the beginning, there must be waste, but this is included in the sales price.

Waiting for a few more days to sell, the demand for various commodities can be calculated, and the loss will be smaller.

The biggest advantage of our cooked food point lies in internal consumption, there are many people, and we can eat leftovers. "

The head of the village has a relaxed expression. Unlike others, he will worry if he can't sell it. He has nothing to worry about, he eats for himself.

"That's right! My Prince Qin's Mansion can also help to eat. Anyway, let's rest assured that the food cooked in Xiaqiu Village. Drink!"

Zhu Xi expressed his willingness to help digest some of the remaining products without giving money.

Li Zhang and Hanhan both hold their glasses and take a big gulp of beer.

The chief put down his cup and filled Zhu Xi with wine: "His Royal Highness, we still have a business to do, harvesting tea tree seeds.

Usually after autumn, the seeds are ripe, we harvest them, and then press the seeds into oil to get rid of the bitterness inside.

In this way, the seeds that others don't want become good things in our hands. "

The head of the village decided to mention it now. It will take time to send people to various places to promote it.
