Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

Chapter 54
Whether it was before or now, Jingyue is not very keen on shopping, which most women love. What she likes most is playing with her three-acre land or the pots and pans of the back kitchen.A woman needs time and money to go shopping. She used to have money but no time, but now she has neither time nor money.

"My lord, there are many people around Yunshanglai!" Today, Leng Yu and Leng Ye were also disguised as men.

"Come on, let's go and have a look!" Jingyue came here today to see if the pickle shop can continue to open in the capital.

Song Qing, the shopkeeper from Yunshanglai, was specially assigned by Mr. Song to Jingyue. This person is the famous "God's Abacus" among the Song family's dark guards.Because his martial arts can only be regarded as average among the Song family's dark guards, Mr. Song asked him to take care of the accounts and distribute monthly silver to the dark guards.Jingyue wants to open a shop, he is the most suitable candidate for shopkeeper.

"Guests, please try something new. You don't need to pay for the first day's tasting. Don't look at the small variety in the shop. The food is extraordinary." The two waiters in the shop wore uniform clothes embroidered with "Clouds Come Up" according to Jingyue's request. With a sincere smile and a prepared jingle in his mouth, he stood on the 24-grid wooden shelf with "Taste on the first day" and warmly greeted passers-by or customers who wanted to buy vegetables, Invite them to taste the signature pickles in their store first.

"It's really delicious, mellow and delicious. My young master has never discovered that celery and radish can be so delicious!" A son who came to join in the fun purely out of curiosity, because he couldn't stand the smell of pickles, he used the special small bamboo in the shop I put a celery and radish pickle in the sign to eat, and gave a thumbs up after eating.

Others who tasted it also had the same idea as him. They did not expect that the pickles from "Clouds Come Up" would be so delicious.

"Shopkeeper, why are the prices of your pickles different here?" A young man who looked like a scholar asked aloud.

The shopkeeper Song Qing immediately stepped forward and explained with a smile: "Guest officer, the pickles we serve on the cloud are all made in secret, but some dishes are fresh and scarce and the production process is cumbersome, so naturally they will be more expensive, but some dishes are more expensive. For example, white cabbage and radish, these are not very rare in our Xichao country, and the price is relatively low. Although the dishes are expensive or cheap, every dish in our store is carefully brewed, absolutely no one can taste it. bully."

"What the shopkeeper said is that those who are rich naturally eat good ones, and those who eat rare and precious ones, and those who have no money should eat cheap and cheap ones." This is the reason.

But the scholar said with a full face: "Could it be that the poor and the common people can't eat good food! Hmph!"

The young master was not angry either, and said, "You scholar, why are you not convinced? You go to buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones. If you have money, you can buy good ones. If you don't have money, whoever sells them to you! I didn't say that poor people eat Can't get good things, poor people have money, can they buy silk and satin to wear, and eat delicacies from mountains and seas?"

"It's true, it's true!" Everyone felt that the rich man was right.Isn't it true that in this world, people are noble and superior to others, and people are inferior to others!

Jingyue was outside the crowd, and when she heard the conversation between the rich man and the frail scholar, a gleam of joy flashed across her face.It seems that it is not so bad that Xi Chaoguo still has such rich children and scholars.

"Shopkeeper, this is 24 taels of silver. You can directly send 24 jars of blue and white porcelain jars of pickled vegetables to Anjia at the intersection." The rich man took out the silver, paid the money readily, and told the shopkeeper a few words before turning around and leaving in a cool manner. .

After the rich man left, some people in the crowd murmured, "Who am I supposed to be? It turns out that he is the son of An's family, a wealthy family in central Beijing. No wonder he also bought pickles for a tael of silver."

I don’t know if it’s because of Mr. An’s conversation with the scholar, and his behavior of paying for pickles at the end, that he made a live advertisement for Jingyue for free, and the next few young masters who seemed to be from rich families bought all of them. The pickles on the altar, and because of the comparison, bought more than Mr. An.

However, a few days later, they, the rich men, were all glad that Yunshanglai bought so many pickles and returned home after being overwhelmed on the opening day.Because from the next day, the pickles from Yunshanglai were sold out in just two hours.

"Second miss, the big families in central and central Beijing have to order pickles from Yunshanglai. Originally, thousands of altars of pickles were stored for three days, but they were sold out in one day. Now several prince's mansions, duke mansions, and marquis mansions ask us to give them to you every day. They sent a hundred altars." Song Qing told Jingyue about the pickle business in the past few days in the back hall of Yunshanglai.

"One hundred jars? Why do they need so many pickles? Even if they like to eat them very much, one jar of pickles is enough for a whole family to eat. Why do they need so many pickles every day?" Jingyue never thought about the business meeting of pickles. It was so popular, she thought that at most a hundred jars would be sold in a day, how could she have thought that these ancient people ate more pickles than water.

Song Qing explained from the side: "Second miss, you don't know that although the pickles in our store are considered to be the most expensive, but compared with the expenses of those big families, they are still a drop in the bucket. They buy these pickles When you go back, not only the master will eat, but the servants will also eat. This will save the master a lot of money for buying vegetables. Those who come out to buy are also happy, because according to your instructions in advance, those who buy more will secretly give Some discounts, those women and servants who came out to buy, not only completed their errands, but also got a lot of silver taels, so there is nothing to be unhappy about."

Although the pickles are refreshing and appetizing, relieve greasy and increase appetite, Jingyue also specially puts traditional Chinese medicine in the pickles from Yunshanglai, which is good for people's health, but eating them every day is not a good thing, because the nutrition is not balanced!

"Song Qing, a notice will be posted tomorrow that the purchase of all pickles in Yunshanglai is limited, and each family cannot buy more than five jars. The reason is that after the autumn harvest, fresh vegetables are hard to keep, and the amount of pickles is small." Jingyue felt that she needed to control the people in the capital. This trend of eating pickles, even if she is the owner behind the scenes of the pickles workshop, is the most beneficial.

Of course, the main reason is that there are not many fresh vegetables, and she is not willing to put the ground chili powder. If pickles with chili are put on the market, the business may be better.

Song Qing also understood why Jingyue did this, and said, "Yes, Second Miss! However, the sudden drop from the Hundred Altars to the Five Altars, my subordinates are worried that those in the Prince's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion, and the Hou's Mansion will not be able to deal with it. They demand a lot!"

"Huh? We open the door to do business. Naturally, we can't refuse business, but the price will increase tenfold. The reason is the same as I told you just now. There are too many monks and too little porridge, so things are rare and expensive. If you want to buy, you can, ten taels A jar of silver." A calculating light flashed in Jingyue's eyes.

"Yes, this subordinate understands!"

As soon as she came from Yunshang, she turned a corner in the back hall and came out to the street. Jingyue saw Song Jingke, Yun Tanxue, Li Ziying, and Tang Min in front of a jewelry store. Arguing about something.
