Chapter 56 A bottle of 200 taels of silver
Su Huan was drinking tea in the room, when a big head sneaked out from behind the door, startling Su Huan. "Ah~~ what are you doing!"

This is a rich middle-aged man, and it is Bai Daqian who came here.

He just observed the new pepper seedlings in the yard and found it very strange.

"Come and see Nephew Su Xian."

"Eh, really?" Su Huan held a skeptical attitude, this old Bai is not quite right today.

Bai Daqian brought a cup of tea to Su Huan. "Come, drink~"

Su Huan took it suspiciously: "Why, just tell me what you have to say."

Don't be courteous for nothing, rape or steal, Bai Daqian is a shrewd businessman, and he will never do meaningless things.

"I want pepper seeds." Bai Daqian said. "One hundred catties."

"Pfft!" Su Huan spat out a mouthful of tea. "Old Bai, get out."

"Nephew Su Xian, if you have something to discuss, it's okay to give 99 catties. I have thousands of acres of land in the south of the city, and I plan to grow all of them into peppers." Bai Daqian is a good bargainer.

What he is most used to is raising the price and stalking.

Originally, it only cost ten catties, but he can tell you a hundred catties, and then you can bargain for fifty catties, and you may still feel that you have lost a lot of money and feel guilty towards him.

This is a routine used by profiteers.

"No, half a catty!" Su Huan patted the table: "Buy it now."

"Pfft!" Bai Daqian sprayed far away with a sip of tea, almost fell off his chair in fright. "Surnamed Su, please speak carefully. I've never seen you haggling like this. We're talking about business. It's not like I won't give you money for nothing."

"Well, let's be sincere."

"I'll pay three taels of silver for a catty of seeds." Bai Daqian stretched out three fingers.

"Bah!" Su Huan's expression was firm. "Old Bai, you have brought the essence of a profiteer to the extreme. You want to buy a catty of seeds for three taels of money, and then grow the fruits and then sell them. You can sell a bottle for 50 taels. You really know how to plan."

"One price, 1 taels."

"Fart!" Bai Daqian said, "I don't know the production value of peppers, and three taels of silver is already a conservative estimate."

Then Bai Daqian snapped his fingers. "At that time, there will be agricultural and labor fees, processing fees, publicity fees, etc., and I will lose money."

After negotiating for an hour, the price was finally finalized, 500 taels of silver per catty of seeds, and a catty of seeds was purchased for a trial.

After a while, the owner of Manfenglou came to visit, asking for 50 bottles of chili peppers, willing to buy them at [-] taels a bottle.

Of course Su Huan refused, and finally settled on 100 taels, and sold [-] bottles.

Let Manfenglou speculate on the price.

On that day, the price of 200 taels of silver for a bottle of chili sauce was posted, and everyone thought that Manfenglou was crazy.

The chili sauce is packaged in a one-time sealed package, which is exquisite and compact, giving people a noble and elegant feeling.

There was also a small portrait of Doctor Zhang drawn on it, and a line of words was attached: "Doctor Zhang agreed."

In less than two days, each bottle of chili sauce was sent to various places in Xingchao under the escort of an average of two bodyguards.

There were two bottles of chili peppers sent to the Youxiang Mansion in the capital of the Xing Dynasty, escorted by four bodyguards.

After arriving in Kyoto, I gave it to the housekeeper, and the bodyguards went back.

Across the mountains and rivers all the way, two bottles of chili were placed on Li Xiang's desk.

This old man over half a century old tried a little bit.

"It's delicious, but it's too expensive."

"Master Xiang, this was made by Lin'an Su Huan." The guard explained in detail.

Li Xiang picked up the package of the chili bottle and looked at it carefully. The efficacy of the chili pepper and the approval of Dr. Zhang were written on it.

Doctor Zhang is a well-known figure throughout the country, and Li Xiang has naturally seen it.

Doctor Zhang doesn't care about fame and fortune, he doesn't exaggerate the truth, and he doesn't flatter him, so what he says can still be believed.

"It's a pity, a pity." Li Xiang sighed.

"Why did Xiangye say that?" the guard next to him asked.

"If this kind of thing can be popularized, supporting frontier soldiers will be a great contribution to my prosperity." Li Xiang looked up at the snowflakes outside the window. "A bottle of tens of hundreds of taels of silver, some rich and noble families are reluctant to buy it, and the common people probably can't even smell the smell."

"If it is possible, the price can be lowered to one tael of silver, no, it is three copper coins, then how many people will be saved from freezing to death in a year by the common people and soldiers of our Xing Dynasty." Li Xiang sighed with emotion.

"Master Xiang, my subordinates should go to Lin'an to find Su Huan. We must ask for a large number of seeds for Master Xiang, so as to seek a blessing for our dynasty, soldiers and people." The guards bowed their hands.

"No, that Su Huan's approach is right. If you want the pepper to be accepted by the common people, you have to make it famous. Let him do it." Li Xiang turned the pepper bottle. "Anyway, what is being harvested now is the money of those dog officials of the imperial court. The corpses are eaten without food, and the fat and fat of the people are collected. It is hateful."

"Don't give the old man a chance." Li Xiang's eyes showed sharpness. "The old man only hopes that this young man from Su Huan can be entrusted to him, not like those people from the imperial court."

Li Xiang sighed and looked at the flying snow outside the window. "The country is sick, and the country is afraid of collapse. God, why are you still snowing heavily at this time?"

"Master Xiang, what do I need to do?" The guard stood aside.

The guard was raised by Mr. Xiang, and he was only thirty years old. Since he was a child, he has looked at the back of this stalwart in front of him and devoted himself to this country.

Helplessly, the imperial court was sick, and the matter of suppressing the military officer, Xiangye has been fighting for decades, and there is still no result.

As a result, the frontier army is now decadent, the soldiers are emaciated, and they are the prime ministers of the dynasty, so what~ so what if you know where the disease is?
Does the emperor not know?Don't know the left side?Don't you know yourself as a right-hand man?
We all know that our heart is like a mirror.

The interests of the civil official group~~~~ Even if the emperor touches it, he will accidentally die of illness or fall into the water and drown in an instant.

"Notify Manfenglou to prevent Su Huan from selling peppers and block all his channels." Li Xiang touched the snow by the window.

"This is Xiangye?" The guard was puzzled.

"This Su Huan, I want the truth, I want to make him a knife, a knife that kills all those dog officials." Li Xiang rubbed the snowflakes. "If he wants to continue selling chili peppers, he will be the sub-host of Manfeng Tower, and all the bad debts will be thrown to him. Also, the gangsters near Lin'an County will be thrown to him."

"Yes!"

Everyone has brains, and there are only a few scheming things. What is missing is ability, the ability to seek breakthroughs, just like the crazy behavior of planting plants in winter, what Li Xiang needs is such a person.

This pool of water has been dead for a long time, and it is time to inject some new vitality.

……

In Lin'an, Su Huan asked a servant to sit at the entrance of Manfeng Tower, and would come back from time to time to report how many bottles of chili peppers were sold and how the sales were.

For nearly a month, the peppers were sold out.

200 taels a bottle, all sold to other places, escorted by bodyguards.

"Very good." Su Huan sat on the rocking chair, and when the group of rich people from other places tasted the sweetness, they would definitely continue to buy, and the value of chili peppers could increase again.

In this way, the fame will be completely opened up.

Su Huan lay happily on the rocking chair, waiting for the invitation from the owner of Manfenglou.
