Orion's pretty daughter-in-law

Chapter 19 The First Pot of Gold
Xinglin Town, Baiweiju.

"Come on, two guests, what would you like to eat?" The waiter warmly greeted the two guests who entered the door, and asked with a smile.

The woman among the two smiled at the waiter, and said, "I'm looking for your shopkeeper to discuss a small business, can you call someone?"

"Talk about business?" The waiter in the store looked surprised, but he didn't show any inappropriate expressions. He nodded with a smile and said, "Then you two wait a moment. The shopkeeper has just gone to the back kitchen. I'll call."

"Okay, no rush." ​​The woman's attitude was very polite.

After the waiter left, the two found an empty seat and sat down temporarily.

These two were Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu who came to town for the first time without Wang Shi.

The candied gourds brought from home are temporarily stored with the boss who is paralyzed next to the place where they often set up a stall, and they will just pay the other party a few cents for the custody fee.

The Baiweiju they came to was one of the best restaurants in Xinglin Town. It was already past the breakfast time and it was not yet noon, but there were still many customers in the restaurant. One could imagine how lively it would be during peak hours.

Only such stores have the confidence to accept the expensive ingredients they want to sell, and offer a more reasonable purchase price.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came over, first looked at their clothes, and then asked kindly: "I heard that you two want to discuss a business with me? I don't know what kind of business it is?"

Luo Jinxiu also took a look at the shopkeeper, he was about thirty or so years old, he was a little fat, and he was kind-looking, and he seemed to be a good-natured person.

"I have a few good ingredients that I want to sell to your store, so I don't know if the shopkeeper will accept them." After speaking, he glanced at Yun Jinghao, who cooperatively picked up the cloth bag in his hand and opened it aside. Give the shopkeeper a little look.

The shopkeeper let out a sigh in his heart, his expression changed slightly, and his eyes became more serious, "Why don't we go upstairs to the private room to talk? This is not a suitable place to discuss business."

Luo Jinxiu smiled and said, "Of course it's the best."

The three of them went upstairs together, and the shopkeeper led them to an unoccupied private room, and after closing the door, he asked: "If I read correctly, the bag contained bamboo ginseng?"

"I don't know yet." Yun Jinghao put the cloth bag on the table and opened it, took out the contents one by one and showed them in front of the shopkeeper.

There was a small pile of matsutake, a small pile of bamboo fungus, and the tremella was packed in a small wooden box made by Yun Jinghao himself. When he opened the wooden box, the shopkeeper couldn't help showing a hint of joy on his face.

"It's tremella!? And matsutake! These are all good things. Where did you get these good ingredients?"

Luo Jinxiu pulled Yun Jinghao to sit down, touched the teapot on the table, and found that it was full and still hot, so he poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and took a few sips before taking a leisurely Said: "Naturally, they are picked in the mountains. Others may not recognize this good thing, but I do. These three ingredients are expensive products with high nutritional value. If you encounter them, pick more and sell them." Subsidize the family."

The shopkeeper actually realized that he had asked a stupid question after he opened his mouth. This ingredient was not found in the mountains, so could it be possible to find it in his own yard?And it looks very fresh. It probably took less than two days to pick it off, and it probably was picked on a nearby mountain.

However, most of these kinds of ingredients grow in the deep mountains. Even if they can be found occasionally outside the mountains, they are missed because few people recognize the appearance of uncooked dishes!
"I don't know if the shopkeeper still likes our 'goods'?" Luo Jinxiu asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper stroked his chin and smiled, "I think you two know something about the situation of our Baiweiju, because Xinglin Town itself is not very big, and there are not many rich people. The prices of the dishes can only be regarded as mid-range, and the raw materials are very expensive It is rare to use expensive ingredients, which are only sold in big restaurants in the city, and Baiweiju does not have those dishes."

Luo Jinxiu's expression remained unchanged, but she raised her eyebrows slightly, "So, do you want these food shopkeepers?"

Yun Jinghao immediately prepared to close the cloth bag again.

"Hey! Wait!" The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him, and said helplessly, "I didn't say no, of course I want such a good thing."

Luo Jinxiu was not surprised either, "Then don't go around the bush, just tell me how much you are willing to pay for the purchase, we still need a stall to set up, we can't waste too much time, we went directly to Baiweiju and believed that the shopkeeper would give you a Appropriate price, don't think that we are those ignorant laymen deliberately lowering the price, after all, if we can cooperate happily this time, there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future, and this season is the time when these ingredients are harvested."

The shopkeeper was very helpless, he thought he could catch a leak, but this woman was also a shrewd person, and she didn't give him a chance to take advantage of it!
If he doesn't give a price that satisfies the other party, the business may be ruined.

As she said, autumn is the harvest season for these ingredients, if you can buy more... a gleam flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes.

Although he looks kind, he is still a businessman after all.

"Okay, okay, since we're talking about this, if I don't give you a good price, I'm afraid it won't work." The shopkeeper shook his head helplessly, seeing that the table was complete and fresh after simple treatment. The ingredients, after pondering for a moment, said: "I'm not fooling you, the price of dishes made with these ingredients is indeed not low, but the purchase price and selling price are definitely different. I see that bamboo ginseng and matsutake are also expensive There are only two or three catties... How about this, I can buy bamboo ginseng at [-] yuan per catty, and matsutake at [-] yuan per catty! Tremella can be slightly higher to make up a round number, one tael per flower, how about it?"

In case they were still dissatisfied with the price, the shopkeeper also specially added: "Bamboo ginseng and matsutake are slightly less rare than white fungus, so the purchase price will be slightly lower. If you don't mind the trouble, go to If you find a big restaurant in the county town, you may be able to sell it for a tael of silver, but after all, Xinglin Town is no better than the city, this is the highest price I can give, and you can decide whether to accept it yourself."

Yun Jinghao didn't understand these matters in business, so he remained silent and handed over the full control to his daughter-in-law.

Luo Jinxiu thought for a while, and agreed with the shopkeeper.

It is certain that they can sell at a high price in the city, but with their current situation, it is not convenient for them to go to the county seat, and it takes a lot of time to travel, and it is even more difficult for the Yun family to explain.

"Then follow the price the shopkeeper said."

"Okay! Happy!" The shopkeeper showed a satisfied smile, "My price is definitely fair enough, you can rest assured that there will be such good products next time, and I hope you can get them from Baiweiju. I will charge as much as you want." , as long as the quality is the same as this time, the price will remain the same."

Luo Jinxiu nodded, "Yes."

Next, the shopkeeper carefully counted the number of ingredients. Two catties of bamboo ginseng cost 15 Wen; Three hundred Wen.

The shopkeeper asked someone to bring the silver to them. One was ten taels of silver ingots and five taels of silver ingots, and the rest was one tael of broken silver. Three hundred copper plates strung together were also heavy. Luo Jinxiu couldn't help but feel the weight. A pleasant smile evoked to make the already pretty face look even more attractive.

"After that, if there is no accident, we will deliver the goods every ten or eight days. The quantity is about the same as this time. I may not come every time. My man will be responsible for the delivery." Luo said. Jinxiu patted Yun Jinghao's chest for explanation with the back of her hand.

The shopkeeper looked at the man who hadn't spoken all the time, but he had a strong sense of presence, and he seemed inexplicably not to be underestimated, and said, "Yes, by the way, I have been forgetting to ask your surnames?"

Luo Jinxiu: "My man's surname is Yun, Yun Jinghao, and my name is Luo Jinxiu. The shopkeeper can call us by our first names directly. What is the shopkeeper's name?"

"Miangui's surname is Lu, and there is only one Hong."

"Master Lu."

The business was completed, and the two didn't stay long, and left Baiweiju after saying goodbye.

Luo Jinxiu put the money into the money bag prepared in advance, and handed the bag to Yun Jinghao with a smile on his face. The latter frowned slightly, "Just keep the money."

But Luo Jinxiu said: "If I want to keep it, one day we can keep the money we earn and spend it for ourselves. Now, you should keep it first. It's best to find an absolutely safe place to hide it. Get it home and be found by other people."

If she took it with her, people like the Zhao family and Wang family would always stare at her when she came home, fearing that she would steal a piece of needlework at home or hide something good by herself. Don't dare to carry it with you, it's too unsafe.

Yun Jinghao also wanted to understand various reasons, and was silent for a moment, then took the money bag and put it in his arms.

"When I go back, I will go straight up the mountain and put the money in the open space."

"it is good."

Afterwards, the two went to fetch the candied haws. Luo Jinxiu skillfully shouted and hawked them, while Yun Jinghao helped pass the candied haws.

Because many people in the town already know that they will come to sell regularly every day, and with a steady flow of customers, in fact, Luo Jinxiu only needs to yell twice every quarter of an hour, basically without much effort.

The three hundred bunches of candied haws were all sold out by Shenshi, and the two set off on their return journey with empty wooden sticks and a whole purse full of hundreds of Wen copper coins.

When they reached the entrance of the village, Yun Jinghao and Luo Jinxiu separated, and went up the mountain with their private money.

On the way to Yun's house, a villager saw Luo Jinxiu and came up to test him: "Yo, daughter-in-law Jing Hao, you went to the town to sell those candied haws and came back, and they sold out again, so I'm afraid you made a lot of money." Go." Saying that, she glanced at the bulging little bag in Luo Jinxiu's hand, there must be a money bag in it!
Luo Jinxiu just kept smiling very restrainedly, "It's just hard-earned money, not too much."

The woman who opened the mouth obviously didn't believe what she said, but when she wanted to continue asking, she saw that the daughter-in-law of the third room of the Yun family had already walked this way, so she said a few more words in a hurry and left quickly.

As for Luo Jinxiu, noticing the smug look on Wang's face as he approached, he knew that there might be some misfortune at home during the day.
