Dressed as the cannon fodder who died prematurely, I will marry the villain in anger

Chapter 617 Another plot

The chief steward in charge of purchasing at Anhe Pharmacy was named Qi. As soon as Zhou Yi was sent away, the junior steward came to check on him, "Manager Qi, the young master of the Cui family would like to treat you to a meal. Do you think so?"

Manager Qi thought for a while and agreed to the invitation. After all, the Cui family is also one of the suppliers that Anhe Pharmacy often cooperates with.

At the banquet, Cui Shaodong's family poured wine for him with a smile, "Manager Qi, will Anhe's purchases this year be the same as last year?"

"Well, let's take a look at this." Manager Qi had just signed a big order. It was not easy to answer now, so he laughed.

"Manager Qi, our Cui family and Anhe are old friends and we have always cooperated happily. Anhe will give us some food this year, right?"

"Come on, are you, the Cui family, worried about buyers? Your donkeys were sold to someone else last year."

"Last year, the situation was unavoidable. Last year, the price given by Anhe was too low, and we lost a lot of money. Regardless of whether it is right or wrong, I am here to make amends to Manager Qi. I drank this glass of wine, you can do whatever you want. "Cui Shaodong drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Manager Qi also drank, which was considered to have exposed the matter.

Then, when Cui Shaodong's family talked about the sale of the two families this year, Manager Qi finally relented, "We'll talk about it then. If the price is right, we, Anhe, won't be able to get a batch."

"How much is a batch?"

"Three to fifty thousand heads." This is to prevent Zhou Yi from having an accident at the end of the year and failing to deliver the goods. At that time, there were 30,000 to 50,000 donkeys owned by the Cui family, which was barely enough for their Anhe Medicine Shop.

Cui Shaodong's family frowned slightly, "30,000 to 50,000 heads is a bit small."

"If you have no objection, it's settled," said Manager Qi.

Cui Shaodong's family was helpless.

"We Anhe will pay you a deposit of 20,000 yuan to show our sincerity! But we must agree in advance, if the price of this donkey..." This trick was learned from Zhou Yi. No matter how much money they can save when purchasing goods, they must at least ensure that they have enough goods for the coming year to keep the pharmacy running.

Qi Daguan dared to make such a contract because they were peaceful and not without backers.

Cai's family in Zhuozhou

After learning that his family had to raise 150,000 more donkeys due to a contract, Cai Guang's son Cai Qin was worried after reading the contract drawn up by his family and Ding Jun.

"The family has so many extra donkeys. What if Ding Jun breaks the contract?"

"What are you afraid of? Even if Ding Jun breaks the contract, our 100,000 donkeys will still be there." It's just that they can't be sold for the time being, but it doesn't mean that they will die if they can't be sold.

Cai Guang said nonchalantly, "We will sell it slowly when the time comes. Don't worry, we will still earn 60,000 taels in vain."

"Son, you are too cowardly." As the saying goes, the bold will be starved to death, and the coward will be starved to death. The Cai family has the ability to take this order, why not do it?

Cai Qin thought for a while and realized what his father said made sense, "But Dad, we can't keep so many donkeys in our breeding farm."

"If it doesn't work, ask your uncle's family to help us raise part of it. I just received the news that our rival Chen family also got a big order. You go to the accountant to pay, buy what you need, and invest what you need."

"Ok."

……

With the interference of Ding Jun and Zhou Yi, the big donkey owners around Qingzhou and Zhuozhou have more or less made some moves or heard some rumors.

The donkey market in Zhuozhou has had a chain reaction due to several large orders, which shows that the undercurrent of the donkey market has already warmed up. As if under the calm lake surface, stormy waves are slowly brewing.

After Ding Jun and Zhou Yi returned to Pingzhou, they reported their results to their superiors.

Then Lu Songli was ready to add fuel to the fire.

At Lu Songli's signal, Ji Wuyin, Gu Huaisheng and others moved.

In order to celebrate the lifting of the blockade on Binhzhou in Dali, the businessmen of Binhzhou jointly held a flowing feast because they had the money and the strength to contribute.

This flowing water banquet was held for three days. During these three days, we truly had fun with the people.

People outside Pingzhou had heard that this banquet was very special. These businessmen worked hard to collect delicious food and donate it to Governor Lu.

Among them was a donkey meat dish cooked on fire, which Governor Lu liked very much.

This roasted donkey meat dish was created by a master chef named Duan Laosan in Zhuozhou. Their Duan family has an old shop that specializes in selling donkey meat roasted.

Not only did Governor Lu like to eat it, but General Qin Sheng was astonished after eating it.

Because General Qin Sheng liked it, Governor Lu waved his hand and included the donkey meat roasted by Duan Laosan in the military procurement list so that General Qin Sheng could eat it at any time.

When the news spread, the people in Pingzhou and surrounding areas were all talking about it. Governor Lu doted on her husband too much.

At this moment, Duan Laosan's shop in Zhuozhou was overcrowded.

The old customer also teased Duan Laosan, "Duan Laosan, I'm thinking, I've also eaten your donkey meat on fire. Although it's delicious, it's not shocking to the world."

Duan Laosan laughed and scolded, "Go, go, go. When I was invited to Pingzhou to cook donkey meat for Governor Lu, can I use the same ingredients as usual?"

The people next to him started cheering, "Duan Laosan, just tell me how the ingredients you use are different from usual ones?"

"Hmph, I won't say anything else. The donkey meat I used is not what I usually buy in the market."

"Why is this?"

"Everyone knows that the donkey meat grilled in Zhuozhou is particularly delicious. Even if other places use the same method, they can't produce the same taste."

Some of the people around me had eaten donkey meat roasted from other places, and they nodded. Donkeys from other places don’t taste like that.

Duan Laosan: "Similarly, the family I found raised donkeys very carefully. The donkeys they raised have particularly delicious meat, and the donkey meat they cook has a very special taste when cooked."

Everyone expressed disbelief.

"Believe it or not, let me tell you something. Donkeys are also very particular about feeding them. They feed them a meal of tender green grass in the morning, some bean sprouts and vines at noon, and a meal of soybean meal, cake bran and melons in the evening."

Everyone thought it was nothing special. Many people raised donkeys like this, and they were pretty much the same.

Duan Laosan chuckled, "What do you know? Donkeys have relatively high requirements for food. Donkeys like dry, hard and crisp forage. For example, wild rice, reeds and green rice straw are all donkeys like forage."

Some people were unconvinced and said, "What's the point? We can also raise donkeys like this."

Duan Laosan glanced at him sideways, "I think on my knees, I know that the vines you feed to the donkey must be the old vines after harvesting the beans."

if not?

Duan Laosan continued, "Do you know what the forage they feed is like? What they feed every day is fresh, in-season forage, such as vines, and they use plants before they bloom. Such vines are used Cranberries are the most nutritious, and donkeys also love them most."

What? You have worked so hard to plant bean sprouts, but you haven’t harvested the bean sprouts yet, so you feed them to the donkeys? They couldn't bear it.

"The same is true for rice stalks. The rice is harvested before it heads."

Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but take a breath, what a waste! They couldn't bear to feed the donkeys like this.

"The donkeys raised like this will have a unique taste when used to make donkey meat. I'm willing to pay fifteen taels of silver for one. I'll take as much as you want!" After Duan Laosan finished speaking, he turned around and went into the shop to get busy. .

The speaker was unintentional, the listener was intentional, and someone quickly made a mental calculation.

The price of donkeys in Zhuozhou has been very stable in the past few years, fluctuating around 8 taels. Now Duan Laosan said it was double the price, and many people were moved.

"Duan Laosan, are you sure you will pay fifteen taels for a donkey raised like this?"

"Of course!"

At this moment, the family Duan Laosan just mentioned arrived with a donkey.

"Five donkeys, right? Well, seventy-five taels of silver." Duan Laosan directly paid the bill, feeling very happy.

The people on the side had their eyes red.

Isn't it just to raise donkeys according to the method given by Duan Laosan? Who can’t do it anymore?

Raising a donkey can earn nearly ten taels of silver. Isn't it more cost-effective than anything else? Farming is exhausting, how much money do you have left at the end of the year? Done, go home and raise donkeys!

Many people went home in a hurry, but their hearts were burning.

Unlike the common people who pursue profit, Jiang Boya in Zhuozhou was keenly aware of something.

Jiang Boya said to Xie Bai solemnly, "Buying deer to conquer Chu, Pingzhou using tactics, and planning to plot Zhuozhou."

Xie Bai was stunned. As a son of a noble family, he naturally knew that buying deer to control Chu was Guan Zhong's plan for Duke Huan of Qi to conquer Chu.

"Mr. Jiang, what should we do?"

"You will set off back to Chang'an in a moment and report this matter to the Grand Governor. Don't panic, it will take time for Pingzhou to implement this plan, and we have enough time to deal with it."

Hearing this, Xie Bai felt relieved a little.

But for Jiang Boya, despite saying this, he still frowned. For counselors like them, the traces of Pingzhou's trick this time were obvious.

He has studied Pingzhou, Pingzhou uses tricks and likes to use yin and scheming. It seems that no matter how the opponent dismantles it, Pingzhou's subsequent tricks are displayed like an overwhelming force, and finally achieve the goal.

This time, can they defeat Pingzhou's plan and make Pingzhou fall short?
