Chapter 982 Flowers are expensive and food is cheap

Wu Wulang carried a box into the house, opened it to Man Bao, and said Le Taotao, "Four hundred taels, how's it going, isn't it amazing?"

Man Bao touched a large ingot of silver and asked, "Fifth brother, I've counted it, and the total amount of silver in the house is six hundred and twenty-five taels, which is more than I expected."

"Isn't what you said, just charge a high price and let them lower the price?" Wuwu Lang said: "I talked to the steward of the palace several times about the price, and the pot of chrysanthemum sold for two hundred and forty-five. Two, Chang'e Flying to the Moon sold three hundred and eighty taels. But I said, that flower is very rare, and there is only one pot in the whole of Jin."

"The pot of ancient roses I took out in the afternoon was golden yellow. When they saw it, their eyes lit up. When I saw it, I bid a higher price, and it was finally squeezed to four hundred taels."

Man Bao was speechless, "Three pots of flowers are more valuable than the food our family produces in a year."

Bai Shandao: "It's best not to spread this kind of thing out, otherwise there will be more people planting flowers in the future, and fewer people will plant the land. However, if you spend more, it will be worthless."

Bai Erlang raised his head from the dim sum and said vaguely, "Who would be so stupid to use the land for growing food to grow flowers?"

Bai Shan glanced at him and said: "Wealth and silk are heartwarming, a pot of flowers can be sold for four hundred taels, at the current grain price, four hundred taels can buy forty thousand buckets of grain, which means that a pot of flowers can be exchanged for forty thousand buckets of grain, you Say they are willing to grow flowers or food?"

Bai Erlang: "What's the matter? It's not like a pot of flowers can sell for 400 taels. It's like the ancient roses brought back by Man Bao. This is the first time I've seen and heard of it when I grow up."

Bai Shan: "You know, but ordinary people don't know. They only know that someone sells flowers, and a pot sells four hundred taels."

Mr. Zhuang nodded, and was about to express his approval when Man Bao had already said, "Oh, stop arguing. Rare flowers are expensive and it's not just starting now. They've been around since ancient times."

"Orchid, peonies, cheap one or two taels, expensive ones can be sold for thousands of taels, the annual flower festival is very lively, and I have never seen anyone use the land for growing food to grow flowers. In this world How many people can buy these flowers at high prices? They are not wealthy businessmen, they are nobles, or they are powerful families." Man Bao said: "This kind of flower business can only be done once or twice. The same flower, you sell the first time. Three times, the guests will come to the door."

Mr. Zhuang stopped talking.

Bai Erlang said, "You sold 20 pots of white peony before."

"That's because I only sell 20 taels. If I sell more than 200 taels, see if I will sell the second pot." Man Bao pointed to the flowers under the porch outside: "Look, I buy The flowers that come back are not exactly the same in any pot. Either the type is different, or the color is different, or it is different anyway.”

Everyone looked out and found that it was true, and they were silent for a while.

"So what kind of flower planting encroaching on the land for growing food will not happen to ordinary people's homes, but only among flower farmers."

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help but nodded slightly.

Wu Wulang didn't understand this, he only cared a little, "Where do you want to keep so much money, is it safe to keep it in the house?"

"It's very safe, didn't I just give you money from the house before?"

As soon as Wu Wulang thought about it, he picked up the box and said, "Okay, I'll take it to the house for you."

Man Bao happily went back to the house with Friday Lang.

Man Bao opened the previous cash box, picked out the scattered twenty-five taels from it and handed them over to Wuwu Lang, and said generously: "Fifth brother, this is for your hard work."

Wu Wulang took the silver and said, "Is it a bit too much? Did you pay enough for the flower? How much did you spend on the flower at the time?"

"It cost a lot, but I also made money, and I made a lot of money. Would I do a business that doesn't make money?"

Wu Langyi thought about it too, after all, the reserve price they set was there, so he accepted it with peace of mind.

"Then I'll go back to the restaurant first."

"Are you going back, won't you stay and have dinner with us?"

Friday Lang said: "The restaurant is the busiest in the evening. I have to go back and help them."

Man Bao sent him out and asked, "How is the restaurant's business these days?"

"It's a little weaker, but with old customers, the income is okay. Anyway, it looks a little better than a few restaurants nearby."

Man Bao nodded, "Take your time, you'll be fine as you get older."

Friday Lang asked in a low voice, "How many years do you think our family can do?"

Man Bao is still very confident in their overturning the case, so he said, "I want to do it for a few years."

Friday Lang laughed, patted Yaomei on the shoulder, drove out his mule cart, greeted Liu Gui and the others, and left.

After watching the fifth brother walk away, Man Bao bounced back to her room. She touched the silver ingots in the box, felt their texture and weight, and then happily received them in the system space.

Because the next day was the first day of the new year, and the three of them had a rest, it was rare for Man Bao to stay in bed.

She didn't get up until the sun had risen, and after a leisurely breakfast, she wandered to the small garden to find Bai Shan.

Bai Shan got up a little earlier than her, and was standing under a tree with his hands behind his back, shaking his head in endorsement.

Man Bao quietly moved from behind him before walking behind him. Just as he was about to scare him, Bai Shan suddenly turned his head and shouted "Wow--", and Man Bao also shouted "Ah--" When they got up, neither was frightened.

Bai Shan said: "You are so naive, you are still playing this when you are so old."

"You don't pay attention to your endorsement."

"You don't even look where the sun shines from. I only saw your shadow when you got behind me."

Man Bao looked down and it was true, she looked left and right and asked, "Where's Bai Er?"

"I haven't gotten up yet."

"I didn't see Mr. just now."

"Mr. said that there is a poetry meeting in the ink studio of the first day of the first year, and there will be new poetry collections for sale, so he went to have a look and went out early in the morning."

Man Bao found a piece of grass that had been dried by the sun and sat down, and asked, "Where do you want to play today?"

"I also want to go shopping in the street. Didn't you say you wanted to find a book last time? It just so happened that I wanted to buy a picture book. Let's go shopping in a bookstore later?"

Man Bao nodded again and again, "Okay, okay."

The voice just fell, Liu Gui came in quickly from the outside, bowed and said: "Miss Man, Ji Shitang has come, and said that the patient you were waiting for has arrived."

Man Bao asked lazily, "Who is it? That bastard who was tricked by me the day before yesterday?"

"No, it's the young master of the Yin family."

Man Bao's eyes lit up, jumped up and ran, "Let him wait, I'll go get the basket."

Before he could speak, the person had already run away. Bai Shan took the book and said to Daji, "Go for a set of cars."

Daji responded and turned to leave.

The next update will be around 11:30 pm
