Merchant's daughter is not a concubine

Chapter 257 The so-called cooperation

The four clerks who sell the ice are all [-] or [-]-year-old boys, and they bought it.Ning Qing is not good at naming names, because she opened an ice shop, she named them Bingjin, Bingmu, Bingshui and Binghuo.

On the day of opening the shop, Ning Qing was very low-key, she only lit a small firecracker and tore off the red silk.

People passing by in twos and threes around glanced curiously and left.

"Girl, it's so deserted." Hui Ping said. "Shouldn't you be doing some head booing?"

Ning Qing said lightly: "No need, let Jin Mu Sui Huo go out and howl!"

I saw four young servants of gold, wood, water and fire yelling outside: "Sell ice! Ten taels of silver for a bucket! Ten taels of silver for a bucket!"

People passing by immediately stopped and walked over: "Is it really selling ice? Isn't it selling jelly?"

"Who said they sell jelly?" Bingjin pointed to the signboard: "Didn't you see it? Ice shop! Just sell ice!"

As he said, he poured a bucket of ice on the counter in front of the shop with a bang, and the few people who surrounded him were shocked: "It really sells ice!"

"That's right. A barrel of ten taels of silver!"

Those passers-by were startled: "Ten taels of silver! It's so expensive!"

"Expensive? Have you ever seen an ice seller?" Bingjin said.

Those people had never seen an ice seller, but ten taels of silver was really not something ordinary people like them could afford, so they had to walk away while shaking their heads.But I can't help but keep talking with the people I meet.

Chunjuan said anxiously: "Ten taels of silver...it seems a bit expensive! Why don't you sell it for a tael of silver per barrel. Anyway, we may make a lot of them."

Ning Qing's beautiful eyes flickered slightly: "Just sell it for ten taels."

Gold, wood, water and fire kept howling out, and many people yelled in surprise as they passed by, but they didn't buy it.However, half an hour later, almost half of Zhan Jing knew that the ice shop was really selling ice!
And those wealthy households also heard the news.

Although many dignitaries have ice cellars in their homes, it is too difficult to store ice in summer.The rich and powerful families are fine, but ordinary wealthy families can only put a bucket and a half in the house when it is the hottest, and it is a bit extravagant to drink iced sour plum soup.

Now there is ice for sale!A bucket of ten taels of silver!For rich people, it is not expensive!And it's a big bucket!It can make a few masters of the family sleep well at night!And it can also make all kinds of iced food for disinfection!
So, an hour after the ice shop opened, a large number of young men from various households suddenly rushed in to buy ice.

Jinmu was so busy with water and fire that they didn't close the door until dark and used up all the saltpeter in the house.His hands and feet trembled from exhaustion.

Ning Qing closed the door and counted money inside.

"A total of two hundred barrels of ice were sold today, and that's 2000 taels of silver a day!" Chunjuan said excitedly.

Ning Qing smiled, making ice is free of cost.Saltpeter can be used repeatedly.Only the cost of wooden barrels, and labor!Pay heavy taxes!
"Everyone has worked hard today, and you will be rewarded with five taels of silver every day!" Ning Qing said: "If the sales are good at the end of the month, there will be more rewards!"

The four people who made gold, wood, water, fire and ice were all overjoyed: "Thank you, girl!"

The ice shop was really selling ice, and the news spread throughout Zhanjing the next day.People in Zhanjing are all curious, who is the rich man who opened his own ice cellar and sold it?
But even if the ice cellar is opened, it can only be sold for two days at most, and the ice stored in any ice cellar can be sold out!
Everyone is watching.On the second day, the ice shop was still selling ice!On the third day, there is ice selling!On the fourth day, it is still selling...and the ice shop still has a tendency to sell!
Some curiously asked: "How many days can you sell the ice in your ice shop?"

Bingjin proudly said: "We will sell for a summer!"

The whole Zhanjing is not calm anymore!
A bucket of ice is ten taels of silver, and now it sells an average of three hundred buckets a day, that is 3000 taels of silver!That's 9 taels of silver a month!
"Which shop is this? Could it be that their ice cellar is half the size of Zhanjing? Sell it for a summer?"

Zhan Jing, Su, Ji, Bai, and Hong, the four top wealthy businessmen sat together, and they were Zhan Jing's business alliance.Now that Zhanjing suddenly appeared with such a business that seemed to be grabbing money, why weren't they jealous and anxious.

Sitting by the window, a young man in his early 20s with gentle features and handsome looks glanced at them, smiled and left.

"Master Su, why did you just leave, and the banquet hasn't started yet." The Patriarch of the Ji family said.

"Don't eat, you two talk."

Young Master Su came out of Wanxing Building, and his servant came over: "Master, the owner of the ice shop has already found out the details."

"Who is it?"

"It's from Tiansheng!" The boy said: "The last time the Eighth Prince went to Tiansheng on a mission, it seemed that it was for her. He said he was a lifesaver and brought him back. But we found out from the mission that she is Tiansheng. The cousin of Prince Shengchen was later brought back by the Eighth Prince."

"Has the eighth prince passed the year?" Young Master Su squinted his eyes: "Where is he now?"

"In Juyueju." Juyueju is a restaurant in Zhanjing.

Young Master Su smiled: "Let's go, Master Ben will meet her."

Young Master Su and the servant immediately went to Juyue Residence.Juyueju is not owned by the Su family, but by the Ji family.The four major merchants in Zhanjing formed a business alliance, and the relationship is quite good.And the Su family is the head of the Zhanjing Business Alliance.

As soon as Young Master Su came in, the shopkeeper immediately came out with a smile: "Oh, it's Young Master Su, what a distinguished guest!"

I saw Eldest Young Master Su smiled: "You have a distinguished guest in the Lotus Room, I want to meet you for a while."

"This..." The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed: "Okay. Young Master Su, please come with me."

Who is Young Master Su!Since he said that anyone who can do it will definitely do it!

The shopkeeper followed Young Master Su up to the second floor, knocked on the door of Lianhua Private Room: "Girl."

"What's the matter?" It was Hui Ping who opened the door. When Hui Ping saw Young Master Su behind the shopkeeper, she was startled and her eyes narrowed.

"This is the young boss of the Su family, the head of the four major merchants. He wants to meet the girl from your family."

Huiping was a little angry, but when she heard that he was Zhanjing's boss, she frowned: "My master is a girl's family, so it's not convenient to receive guests."

"Oh, it's convenient to show up and do business, but not to meet guests? This is really strange!" Young Master Su said with a smile.

Hui Ping narrowed her eyes again, she was very displeased with this Young Master Su, but Ning Qing said from outside: "Let him in."

Huiping had no choice but to get out of the way.Young Master Su walked into the private room.

I saw a young girl in deep purple clothes sitting at the table, with a veil on her face, and her attire was quite old-fashioned, but outside the veil, a pair of watery eyes were bright and bright, and the exposed skin was also extremely tender and fair, so It can be seen that she is not very old, at most fifteen or sixteen years old.I saw Min Bo turned around and glanced at him, completely glamorous and compelling.

When Ning Qing saw Eldest Young Master Su, she frowned unconsciously, showing slight anger and disgust unabashedly.

I saw Young Master Su wearing a light blue streamer brocade, holding a folding fan, with a temperament as gentle and elegant as jade, as clear as a torrent, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes, and a gentle demeanor.The elegance between the smiles is somewhat similar to that of Song Zhuo.

"Miss Ning, hello." Young Master Su said with a smile.

Ning Qing only glanced at him and didn't want to see him anymore.The servant next to Young Master Su got angry: "Hey, my young master is talking to you!"

Ning Qing was furious: "What are you? Are you shouting at me?" Then she looked up at Young Master Su: "Who is this, you broke in by yourself! Could it be that I begged you to come? In a hurry to see you?"

"Get out!" Eldest Young Master Su gave the servant a cold look.The boy's face turned pale, and he withdrew from the private room.

"I'm sorry, Miss Ning, my servant has been rude." Young Master Su looked at Ning Qing: "Miss, my name is Su Feng."

Ning Qing glanced at him lightly: "So it's Mr. Su, Mr. Su's name, the little girl has already been heard like thunder."

If she wanted to do business, it was impossible not to inquire about the names of these local snakes!

This Su family is the richest man in Zhanjing and the head of the Zhanjing business alliance.And this Su Feng is the heir of the Su family!Now more than half of the Su family's property has fallen into his hands.It is heard that he is quite talented in business. He is only [-] years old, and he has managed the Su family's business well.

Su Feng smiled, and poured himself a cup of tea: "Miss Ning's name, I have heard a little about it. As a Tiansheng person, if you want to do business in Zhanjing, shouldn't you make a call with our Zhanjing Business League?" call?"

"Well, then what?"

Su Feng narrowed his eyes, and still said with a smile: "The girl is very skilled, and she knows how to make ice!"

Everyone else guessed that the ice in the shop was preserved, and that there was a huge ice cellar somewhere.But Su Feng inquired carefully.One is that I have never seen an ice shop transport ice, and there is absolutely no ice cellar there!There is only one possibility!She can make ice!

"Although the girl is from Tiansheng, she has entered our Tianshui now, and our Zhanjing Business League is also willing to accept the girl." Su Feng said: "It is said that everyone is innocent, but pregnant is guilty. The girl is alone, so Business can't last long. If we join our business alliance, we can always protect the girl."

"condition."

"There are four of our business alliance now. You join the business alliance, and give [-]% of your shop's bonus to the business alliance. Tianshui is so big that you alone can't eat it. Our Su family is willing to take a stake and open the shop all over the world. Tianshui!"

"How many shares do you want?"

"half!"

Ning Qing smiled: "Don't do it!"

Su Feng narrowed his eyes slightly: "Miss Ning, are you not afraid of dying like this?"

Ning Qing smiled: "You are not greedy to death, how could I be greedy to death?"

Su Feng didn't look angry, stood up, smiled and cupped his fists: "Then let's wait and see!"

"No delivery."

When Ning Qing returned to Anningyuan, Shui Jingnian received a message and ran over: "I heard that Su Feng from the Su family came to look for you?"

"Yes. If you want to take half of my shares, how can you make him cheaper."

Shui Jingnian narrowed his eyes: "This Su family is very greedy! Almost half of Zhanjing's business fell to him! He also took [-]% of the supply from the imperial merchants! The so-called business alliance , In fact, they are all attached to their Su family! If you join the business alliance, then wait to be sucked by him!"

"So scary?" Ning Qing wondered.

"Yeah, be careful."
