Chapter 2382 Ambition

Zhou Lizhong incited Wu Wulang privately, "Uncle Five, you are very familiar with these purchases in the capital, why don't you try to take over the purchases from Huangzhuang? If you do well, maybe you can provide some vegetables, meat and eggs to the palace. ."

Wu Wulang scratched his head, "Actually, I have always had a question, doesn't the emperor himself have a very large Huangzhuang? They don't raise chickens, ducks, or pigs in their village? Why do they need to buy so much from outside?"

Zhou Lizhong also became suspicious. After thinking about it for a while, he hesitated and said, "Because there are too many people in the palace and I eat a lot, so I can't afford it?"

"Impossible," said Friday Lang, "I seem to have heard Man Bao say that the emperor has two in the imperial palace in the capital, and there is a large piece of land in Yongzhou, and the Yongzhou one is also intended for Princess Mingda. Dowry."

Uncle and nephew can only go to Bai Shan if they don't understand.

Bai Shan didn't even think about this question. He was stunned when he was suddenly asked, and then said, "Probably the supply is not enough. It seems that there are not many people who raise these in Huangzhuang."

He paused and said, "There are tenant farmers who work in Huangzhuang, but more are the family members of criminal officials, as well as prisoners who have been punished as criminal slaves for other reasons. "

"But it's not difficult for you to buy in the palace," Bai Shan said: "Actually, some of the medicinal materials purchased by the Imperial Physician Office from outside have always been donated by brother Thursday. The opportunity to supply Huangzhuang this time, you can try to get in touch with the purchase from the palace."

Bai Shan smiled and said: "You don't have to eat too much in one go, just offer one or two things first, such as eggs and duck eggs. These things can be kept for a long time. Just be careful during the transportation process. The rules of the business, people also know about the same, and then it will be much simpler to buy and buy business."

Wu Wulang heard his implication and asked, "Do you think it's not good to pick up shopping in the palace?"

Bai Shan shook his head slowly and said, "It's not bad, it's just that you need to be more careful when you take over the business in the palace, and you have to be careful."

"But there are disadvantages, there are advantages. You may not make a lot of money for shopping in the palace, but with this status, your business outside will be much smoother, that is, doing other things, others will mention it. You should also be polite." Bai Shan said, "Except for cloth, tea and salt, the merchants supplying the imperial palace rarely make money. They only make money from outside."

Zhou Lizhong pondered, "Just like our family, I know that the yam tablets and privet seeds grown in our family are supplied to the Imperial Physician Department, and many pharmacies outside have placed orders with our family. In the past, we always had to go to a few more medicinal materials from our family. Only pharmacies can sell at the right price, but now people are rushing to ask for it as soon as it is pulled to the capital, even if it is a pen or two more expensive than other people's homes, they don't care."

Bai Shan nodded, "That's the truth."

He said: "If the eggs in Zhuangzi are supplied to the palace, you can sell them outside for a penny more than others."

Friday Lang said: "So, it is normal for them to buy five cents or six cents for an egg?"

Bai Shan: "...No, the reason why your eggs are higher than that is because you supply the palace, so it seems that the eggs are more noble than other eggs, but except for some people, who will be because of the eggs? Did you buy it at a high price and eat it from the same nest that was supplied to the palace?"

He said: "I want you to buy eggs on the street. They are all good eggs. Do you want to buy eggs for two cents apiece, or buy an egg that is said to be eaten by emperors for three cents?"

On Friday, Uncle Lang and nephew said in unison: "Of course I bought two cents."

Wu Wulang only vaguely understood, "So it's still not possible to increase the price with the palace, and it may not be possible to increase the price outside, but some people want to eat the eggs that the emperor has eaten, so they will pay higher prices to buy them. Even if this is not the case. The same person, it is also two cents, I shouted and said that this is the egg that the emperor has also eaten, and it will definitely sell better than other people's eggs."

Bai Shan smiled and nodded, "This is the benefit of the royal business."

Wu Wulang felt pride in his heart, and felt that this business could be done. At that time, he would send some rice, noodles, chicken, duck, fish and meat produced in Zhuangzi to the palace, regardless of whether the emperor would eat it or not. Anyway, he sent it to the palace. Looking back on the New Year's Day, are you afraid that you won't be able to sell it?

There are a lot of things in Zhuangzi, so although a lot can be sold, there are also many that cannot be sold. In the end, they all pull back and eat by themselves.

But they have a lot of family and they have a restaurant, so they don't have to worry about it, but Man Bao has been promoted again. Last year, the job field given by her promotion to Xiazhou to treat smallpox will be planted this year. The job field will also be allocated...

Wu Langyi calculated, turned his head and said heavily to Zhou Li: "If the palace is willing to ask for our things, you can grow the newly approved farmland in the future, and you can raise as many chickens and ducks as you want. If you can't sell them in the capital, you can bring them to Yongzhou. If we sell it in other places, as long as it is the chicken and duck that the emperor has eaten, our price is the same as other places, and they will definitely be willing to buy it.”

Bai Shan: ...Then the emperor outside will eat too much in the future, I'm afraid it will bloom everywhere.

On Friday, Uncle Lang and nephew were gearing up for a big fight.

So the next day, after the fresh vegetables and eggs were delivered from Yongzhou, I personally delivered them to Huangzhuang, and had a good talk with the new steward from Huangzhuang.

After a few days, Wu Wulang received two more purchases from the steward, but the ones in their village were not good enough, so he personally went to the market to buy them, because the quantity was large, he lowered the price a little, and then sold them at the market price. To Huangzhuang.

In this part, he basically earned a carriage fee, but he did get in touch with the purchasing at the palace through the steward.

Friday Lang was very happy, knowing that there was beef for sale in the market, he also spent money to buy two large pieces of beef back, one to send to Bai's house, and one for his own evening celebration.

When Mrs. Liu saw the beef, she smiled and said, "Let's make shaozi, it's still cold now, and the shaozi can be kept for a few days. It's good to eat shaozi noodles every morning. Shanbao and Erlang are not always talking about wanting to eat it. ?"

When Aunt Rong heard it, she immediately took the beef and went to look for Mrs. Qian. There are only pickled bamboo shoots in the Zhou family, and the scorpions made by Xiao Qian's are indeed the best.

Xiao Qian was hesitating, and when she saw her carrying the meat and said to be a sham, she smiled and said, "I'm having a headache, I want to make beef slices, but I want to make some sham for Xiao Gongzi and Man Bao, this one. Some are not enough."

Yi Yi also said with a smile: "Our old lady said that the young masters have been talking about it recently. It's cold in the spring. When you get up to study in the morning, you want to eat something warm. I make sangzi and put it away. It's good to give them a bowl of noodles every morning. I can also send some to Miss Man so that she can eat better in it."

See you at 6 pm
