Chapter 85 The Evil Capitalist
Just as Zhang Twelve was walking helplessly in the alley, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran forward.

On the ridge in front of him, an old man in a white sweater with a gray beard was sitting there, smoking a pipe leisurely.

When Zhang Twelve was running here, the old man had already noticed him, looked him up and down, squinted and asked: "You are not from Wangzhuang, are you? I have never seen such a handsome man from Wangzhuang. Younger."

Ha, Zhang Twelve was still struggling just now. What kind of topic can we find to talk to this old man? You must know that he has never even struck up a conversation with a girl, let alone an old man?
Unexpectedly, the old man praised him first, and his heart surged suddenly. It seems that his current appearance is suitable for all ages in this era!

Immediately replied with a smile: "The old man is absurd, Xiaosheng is indeed not from Wangzhuang Village, and it is the first time to come here today."

The old man's face was not happy at first, but when he heard this sentence, he became even more serious, raised his eyebrows and said: "You came with that surname Yu, right?"

Surnamed Yu?Yu Haojie?
"If the old gentleman is talking about shopkeeper Yu Haojie, then it is."

"Humph!"

Unexpectedly, the old man snorted coldly after hearing this, and turned his head away, as if looking at Zhang Twelve again would dirty his eyes.

But Zhang Twelve was not angry but happy, because the old man's reaction showed that he didn't like to see Yu Haojie very much. It was only from such a person that he could find out some unknown things about Yu Haojie. Isn't this what he wanted?
Zhang Twelve said with a "hehe" smile: "Mr. misunderstood. Although Xiaosheng came here with the shopkeeper Yu, he had no friendship in the past. This time he came here only for business—ah, but doing business with the shopkeeper Yu is indeed true." It's not easy!"

At the end, he actually sighed.

The old man was also curious when he heard the words: "Aren't you from Taizhou?"

"How does the old gentleman know?"

"Hehe, as far as I know, Yu Haojie's wine business has never been done with local people in Taizhou. Since you said you came here for business, then of course you are not from Taizhou."

When the old man said this, he stroked his gray beard proudly.

"The old man's guess is not bad at all. Xiaosheng is from Liangzhou. This time he came to Taizhou to do business with shopkeeper Yu. I don't know why the old man said that shopkeeper Yu never does business with people from Taizhou. ?”

Zhang Twelve asked curiously.

"Taizhou is rich in food, and every household brews turbid wine. Naturally, there is no shortage of turbid wine. Moreover, even if he wants to do it, who would be stupid enough to do business with him?"

Uh... Isn't this saying that he - no, are the Lu family and the Qin family stupid?

"May I ask why the old gentleman made such a statement?"

"How much does your turbid wine sell for a catty?"

"Five hundred words!"

"Where's the dirty wine from Yu Haojie?"

"450 words!"

"Then what do you think is the cost price of this turbid wine, or what is the purchase price of Yu Haojie from us?"

"350 Wen?"

Zhang Twelve originally wanted to say [-] Wen, because he felt that restaurants only earn [-] Wen, and he can earn [-] Wen in a small wine shop, but then he thought about this greedy and treacherous Yu Haojie. It is estimated that fifty Wen would not satisfy him, so he was reduced by another fifty Wen.

"Hehe~"

The old man smiled contemptuously after hearing Zhang Twelve's "quote".

Or less?This black-hearted Yu Haojie!

"Could it still be 150 Wen? He actually earns [-] Wen for a catty of wine?"

"Two hundred words!"

The old man gritted his teeth and said.

"how is this possible!"

Zhang Twelve is a bit unbelievable. Although he has no experience in brewing wine, he feels that the price of [-] Wen is too low. I guess this is just a cost price, and manpower and material resources are not included, right?

"How can it be impossible! That Yu is a greedy wolf who eats people without spitting out his bones! Most people in Taizhou know how to make wine, so naturally they know the cost price of this turbid wine, so Yu directly raised the cost price by 250 Wenlai sells it, besides you people who don't know how to do it, who else can you sell it to?"

No wonder the old man said they were stupid just now, they are indeed stupid enough, and Yu Haojie is even more abominable. The cost of the wine brewed by these farmers is only two hundred yuan, but he buys wine at this price, which is equivalent to In the end, these peasant households were just busying themselves in vain. Instead of earning a penny, they spent a lot of manpower. That's why the old man was so angry when he mentioned Yu Haojie.

"Old man, since Yu Haojie's price is so low, why do you still sell it to him? If you don't earn a penny, why not keep it for yourself!"

"Hey, how dare you not sell it? The farmers in Wangzhuang Village are all planted by that surname Yu. If you don't sell him wine, he will take the land back the next year. What do the farmers eat and drink? So even if you know It’s a loss, but I can only grit my teeth and sell it!”

It was really guessed by Zhang Twelve, why this Yu Haojie didn't hire people to farm the land but rented it out, let alone how much rent he charged, just buying these dirty wines that are equivalent to free probably made him crazy Earn extra money!
This wicked capitalist has a black heart!
Although Zhang Twelve's selling spirits for five taels of silver seems to be more black-hearted, it is completely different from this situation!Brewing wine is not difficult in this era, but no one knows how to purify it. What he sells is the value of technology!
Moreover, even if he sells it expensively, he will never deduct workers' money!

The old man seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Zhang Twelve, and said angrily: "But you are also like dogs, and you are not a good thing!"

"Er... old sir, what do you say?"

"Is there a new spirit in Liangzhou City? Are you selling it?"

"Exactly."

"Five taels of silver per catty?"

"really……"

"Then you guys are more black-hearted than Yu! Then he cheats on you, it's like a dog eats a dog!"

This old man didn't believe it when he heard the young men from the Yu family say that the spirits cost five taels of silver this morning. What kind of wine can sell for five taels of silver?

But now that the Lord has confirmed the news, while being amazed, his impression of the young man in front of him is not very good. Fortunately, although their spirits are expensive, they have nothing to do with them directly, otherwise the old man would have thrown his sleeves away. people!
"Old man, maybe you don't know that this spirit is extracted from your turbid wine. Not to mention how complicated the process is, just the amount of turbid wine used, about ten catties of turbid wine can produce one catty For spirits, buying one catty of spirits is equivalent to buying ten catties of turbid wine, and there is a huge amount of manpower, so do you think the price of five taels per catty is expensive?"

Zhang Twelve deliberately changed the dosage of the turbid wine. If the truth was told, the old man would definitely regard him as a black-hearted merchant like Yu Haojie.
