After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Chapter 72
Boss Qi glanced at Shopkeeper Wang up and down with a smile, and then said softly: "Can Shopkeeper Wang be the master of such a big matter?"

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned and extremely anxious. Why hasn't the boss's order arrived yet?

If he hadn't grabbed it first, the soap business would have been a sure profit, and if he had the courage to place a bet, his boss might even appreciate his prompt decision.If I can't get this order, I'm afraid I won't get anything good when I go back.

Before shopkeeper Wang could hesitate, Boss Qi continued: "It seems that our Fengqi Pavilion is sincere. I heard Mr. Xu coming, but I rushed over immediately. Zhao Ji Grocery Store sent a shopkeeper here, it is so big The shopkeeper Wang of the business didn't dare to make a decision, and he had no choice but to delay Mr. Xu's schedule. It's better to do this. Since Mr. Xu is in a hurry, I can't keep him. Why don't I just double the amount you make for each bar of soap? How about you sell them all to me?”

Xu Qingying's brows jumped, and she even heard the sound of Xu Degui gasping behind her.

Xu Degui knew the cost of soap, and she had also calculated it. In addition to inquiring about the price level of the Zhou Dynasty, the family decided to price soap at about a hundred wen per piece.

Xu Qingying said with a smile: "Boss Qi is very generous, but you don't know how much my soap harvest is, so you dare to make such an opening?"

"It's business. The brave will starve to death and the timid will starve. Besides, since I dare to buy it, I can naturally sell it."

Shopkeeper Wang was so anxious that he was sweating profusely when he saw these two people going back and forth. He just wished that his boss would appear in front of him immediately, but the situation was pressing and he had to go into battle. "Mr. Xu, they all say that you have to shop around when buying things." , you have to look at our Zhao Ji no matter what."

"Okay, how much do you plan to pay?"

Shopkeeper Wang went back and forth thousands of times in his mind, but he kept his face and deliberately acted ordinary, "Although soap is said to be three or four taels a piece, that's the price for outsiders. This little old man makes groceries like this." For many years, although I have not known the recipe and raw materials of your soap, I thought that since I dare to sell it for three or four taels, I can naturally guess the cost. I am not lying, you see... I pay for each piece of soap. How about five hundred coins?"

Xu Qingying's heart skipped a beat.

Xu Degui behind him would have almost fainted if Xu Qingying hadn't been holding him back.

Good guy, this time it has doubled five times.

Xu Degui just regretted that he was blind at the time. For such a hugely profitable business, everyone should join in and make it for tens of thousands of dollars. His Xu family... wouldn't his Xu family become prosperous?

Not to mention Xu Degui, even Team Leader Zhao on one side was thinking like this, what kind of team leader is this? Isn’t it nice to make money with Miss Xu?
Isn't it a hundred times better to earn a thousand taels of silver easily than to be a small team leader and suffer hardships and earn wages?
No, no, you have to tell everyone to get moving and make soap when you get back!
Before everyone could catch their breath, Miss Qi Er said with a smile, "Then I'll give you [-] yuan."

Shopkeeper Wang took a breath and started making crazy calculations in his mind. The cost of something worth three or four taels would only be two or three hundred taels. If he wanted to sell it, it would not be a problem to package it and sell it for [-] taels. Forget about labor and transportation. The cost, even if the price is two taels of silver, the profit is doubled.

Shopkeeper Wang made up his mind and immediately followed the price, "Then our Zhao Ji groceries will cost [-] yuan."

Miss Qi Er was still smiling and her tone was gentle, but her attitude was serious, "Then let's just put it together, one tael of silver a piece."

The few people following Xu Qingying were already numb with joy. They all just regretted why they didn't do more at that time, and do more...

But Feng'er finally managed not to jump up.

This is a fisherman's profit from a clam fight. No wonder Miss Xu had to quietly deliver news to Fengqi Pavilion. If these two families started to fight, wouldn't the price keep rising?

"stop."

Unexpectedly, Xu Qingying raised her hand to stop the bidding. She walked over slowly, with the same faint look on her face, as if the business of several thousand taels was just a piece of cake.

Seeing both parties looking at her in confusion, Xu Qingying smiled slightly and said, "One tael of silver is enough for me to earn."

Xu Degui couldn't help but pull Xu Qingying secretly to stop her.

Xu Qingying was unmoved and continued: "It's pointless to add more. If everyone goes out to do business, it will be bad if it hurts the harmony. How about this, half for each family, one tael of silver a piece, is it possible to accept it?"

Shopkeeper Wang let out a big sigh of relief, quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked at Xu Qingying with some gratitude.

If he keeps shouting, he may have reached his limit.

Second Miss Qi glanced at Xu Qingying with admiration, "Mr. Xu... you are so generous."

"Since both parties agree, let's inspect the goods. The total is 760 yuan. It will be faster if you two inspect it together."

Xu Qingying raised her hand, and someone walked around behind the carriage and opened the curtain covering the carriage. Then thousands of pieces of jade-like soap were piled up like a mountain and appeared in front of everyone.

Shopkeeper Wang couldn't help but exclaimed.

Leader Zhao suppressed the smile on his lips and said with a straight face: "Hurry up and inspect the goods. It's already dark and we have to hurry."

After chatting for a while, it was getting dark. The clapper in the city was banging several times. It would be a curfew in a while.

Miss Qi Er asked people to go up to inspect the goods, but she also symbolically persuaded them to stay, "It's getting late, and traveling at night will be very dangerous. Why don't you let me be the host and entertain Mr. Xu well?"

Leader Zhao waved his hand and sighed, "Who wants to travel at night? The situation in the north is really not good. It has been snowing heavily this November. I am afraid that if it is late and the road is closed, it will be dangerous."

Miss Qi Er nodded, "That's true. I heard that tens of thousands of people have starved to death in the north. People are rushing to the direction of Bianjing City with their wives and children. This year... I'm afraid it won't be peaceful."

Shopkeeper Wang also sighed: "No, it's not winter yet, and food prices have already risen. I heard that there will be another war in the north this year. There will be wars every year, taxes collected every year, but the number of refugees is increasing year by year. There are so many, I don’t know what these people in the imperial court are doing——”

Miss Qi Er rarely agreed with Shopkeeper Wang, shaking her head and saying: "These people are busy fighting for power. I heard that there will be a draft for the little emperor next spring. The little emperor is only six years old now, so there is no need to enrich the harem. This... this... It’s simply unbelievable!”

Everyone knew who the concubine was chosen for.

Half a year ago, Zhu Guojiu was severely involved in the crime of sleeping in the palace at night and having sex with the harem.

Everyone has complaints, but no one dares to speak out.

Fortunately, at this moment, a girl was holding a wooden box in the corner and curiously asked: "Hey, what is this? It smells so good..."

Having said that, the girl has already started to open it.Xu Qingying glanced at it, but immediately stopped, "Don't move. That's not soap -"

However, it was too late.

The girl glanced at Xu Qingying with some fear. Xu Qingying walked over helplessly and closed the wooden box. However, she did not blame the maid and only said: "I bought this to honor my mother."

After saying that, she glanced at Team Leader Zhao reproachfully, "Old Zhao, why is this thing here? Didn't I ask you to take good care of it?"

Captain Zhao said "Ouch" and patted his head, "My lord, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was confused. I thought that our carriage would have to free up some space to buy dry food, so I conveniently put this in too." "

Xu Qingying said that she was going to take the wooden box away, but she held it down with both hands at the same time. Shopkeeper Wang and Miss Qi looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of determination to win in each other's eyes.

Miss Qi Er said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, what is this? I took a quick look just now and it seems to be soap? Why does it look different?"

Shopkeeper Wang also immediately said: "That's right. How can Mr. Xu be so stingy? He has done business worth several thousand taels, but he doesn't even let us take a look at the good things?"

Xu Qingying smiled helplessly, "It's okay to look at it, that's all, I'll give you some eyesight -"

After that, she opened the box and saw four bars of soap inside.It's said to be soap, but it doesn't look like it. The other soaps have a faint smell, but these four soaps are really like jade, each with its own characteristics.One piece is snow-white, and the other is as red as blood, both of which smell of the cold plum fragrance.The other two pieces are as bright and yellow as chrysanthemums, and the other is as quiet as grass. If you get close, you can smell the quiet fragrance of bamboo.

Top grade, absolutely top grade.

Xu Qingying's eyes lit up when she saw Shopkeeper Wang. Although Miss Qi didn't look happy, she pursed her lips slightly, obviously feeling moved.

Xu Qingying laughed in her heart. Sure enough, things need to be compared. Ordinary soap can be sold for one or two silver a piece. This kind of high-quality soap will not be worth the flowers and plants that she worked so hard to find in the mountains.

Miss Qi Er looked and smelled it again and again, feeling astonished in her heart.

What on earth is this? How can it be so fragrant? Even if you only touch it, the lingering fragrance remains on your fingers. If you use this on your skin, wouldn’t it keep the fragrance forever?
Miss Qi Er's eyes were shining brightly, and her voice couldn't stop being excited, "Mr. Xu, this is soap? What is the difference between this and soap?"

"I think there should be no difference, except that the skin care effect is better, and the appearance is better. Originally, this product was not intended to be sold. The boss said that these are defective products and the recipe needs to be improved. I am shameless. I bought them for a lot of money. I thought that these things are so beautiful, and it would be novel and decent to take them back and give them away. After all, I don’t know how long it will take for the soap recipe to be improved, so I bought them back first and gave them to those ladies. . Think about it, those ladies and ladies all have sharp eyes, and ordinary things cannot enter their eyes at all. This soap is the only one in the entire Zhou Dynasty. Wouldn't it be very honorable to give it away? "

These words touched the hearts of Miss Qi Er and Shopkeeper Wang.

It was not easy for merchants in the Zhou Dynasty, and they had to be managed from top to bottom. People who gave gold and silver were not rare, and they could not attract the attention of dignitaries at all.The knowledge of giving gifts is very profound. Not only do you have to cater to the people who like them, but they also have to be new and novel. Otherwise, why would there be so many people giving gifts to pay attention to you?
Miss Qi Er opened her mouth directly, shocking the whole audience, "A wise man doesn't tell secret words, Mr. Xu, please sell me this soap. This box costs 100 taels -"

Shopkeeper Wang was completely worried about Miss Qi Er's lack of martial ethics, "Miss Qi Er, Mr. Xu said he wouldn't sell it, couldn't you hear it?!"

Miss Qi Er's eyes were bright, but she stared straight at Xu Qingying, "There is nothing in this world that you don't want to sell, only an inappropriate price. Mr. Xu, I want to order your soap, you can set the price!"

"This..." Xu Qingying looked embarrassed, "This is unique to the Zhou Dynasty. Even the empress in the palace has never used it. I still want to leave it to my mother. It happens that her birthday is coming soon——"

"100 taels? Boss Qi, are you crazy about being poor?" Before the person arrived, the voice was already approaching. When he looked up, he saw the young man in white jade robes coming gracefully under the dim moonlight. He opened his mouth and shocked everyone, "This Young Master, I will pay you 1000 taels."

Bantou Zhao and Xu Degui almost fainted this time.

The two held hands secretly and encouraged each other before they managed to stand firm.

Good guy, 100 taels turns into 1000 taels. Is it so easy for rich people to earn money?

Ming Xiao's feet went weak and he almost slipped. Team leader Zhao grabbed him, grinned at him, and said in a low voice: "Ignorant thing, Miss Xu thinks highly of you, but it turns out you are a soft-footed shrimp." ! Isn’t it just a few thousand taels of silver? Stand up straight for me——”

Shopkeeper Wang was overjoyed and immediately greeted him, as if he was looking forward to meeting his husband. "My boss, you are finally here——"

Boss Zhao patted Shopkeeper Wang on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Well done."

Shopkeeper Wang was trembling all over, feeling that the grievances, tensions, and fears of the night were gone. He thought that he had never been so bold in his life, and decided on a transaction worth several thousand taels of silver without doing anything else.

Fortunately, if his boss understands him, everything will be worth it.

Boss Zhao's momentum was not diminished, and he smiled at Miss Qi Er and said: "Miss Qi Er has just straightened out the affairs of the grocery store recently. I'm afraid she is a little tight on money. In that case, why bother trying to make a fool of yourself? Why don't you leave it to me? , I, Mr. Zhao, also remember you."

Miss Qi Er was unmoved and showed no signs of anger. Instead, she said tit-for-tat with a smile: "I heard that Boss Zhao has been having a fierce fight with his family recently. It's really gratifying that he is still standing here alive. I'm a little tight on money. , but good things have to be spent, and for this soap, I will pay 500 taels."

"2000 taels!"

"Two thousand five hundred taels!"

"3000 taels!"

Shopkeeper Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead fiercely, his heart pounding in a panic, while the rest of the people were not much better. As the numbers increased one by one, if it weren't for a strong will to support them, I'm afraid Bantou Zhao and the gang would People have already jumped up.

Xu Degui held his hand tightly to prevent himself from screaming.

Seeing such a scene in this life is really not in vain.

No, no, no, I have to deal with Miao when I go back to calm my heartbeat that is about to jump out of my throat.

Finally, Miss Qi Er regretted losing. She glared at Boss Zhao Ji and remained silent, but did not bid any more.

The price of this soap has already reached 4000 taels.

Boss Zhao Ji had a smile on his face, but he couldn't help but feel proud. He slightly cupped his fists at Xu Qingying and said, "Mr. Xu, I reluctantly part ways with you."
