Joe's Farming

Seeing that Qiao Yu liked it, the foreigner immediately asked, "How many buckets do you want, sir?"

Qiao Yu didn't respond and asked directly: "How much?"

The foreigner smiled and said, "One barrel costs twelve taels of silver. If you have gold, that would be even better. I can give you a discount. One tael of gold per barrel."

The currency of Dayan was not popular among foreign countries, but gold was universally accepted.

Qiao Yu understood that he might want to avoid the fees for exchanging gold.

Qiao Yu asked again: "How many pounds is a bucket?"

The foreigner thought for a while, pointed to the pottery jar beside him and said, "A bucket can hold about a hundred of these."

Qiao Yu took a look and found that the clay jar could only hold one pound of wine at most.

That barrel is equivalent to 50 liters and can hold 100 kilograms of wine.

The wine is certainly not that expensive in its place of origin, but with such a long sea transport plus the tariffs in Dayan, the price is not outrageously expensive.

By then he will definitely sell it in separate packages, 200 wen per can, should it be able to sell?

After all, things are rare and valuable.

And if there is a severe drought next year, not to mention wine, the price of the wine brewed from grain in Dayan will definitely rise sharply.

Of course, he certainly hopes that there will be no drought.

If Qiao Yu knew that this jar of wine was sold for two taels of silver in a brothel in the capital, he would definitely feel that his price was too low.

However, neither the capital city nor the brothel is the place that Qiao Yu wants to sell.

So they cannot be compared.

"If I buy more, will there be any discounts?"

The foreigner's pupils dilated visibly. "How much do you want? We brought three hundred barrels this time."

"Are all three hundred barrels of this flavor?"

Qiao Yu asked.

The foreigner smiled and shook his head: "No, there are three kinds in total. What you just drank was white wine, which has no color.

There is also red wine, you can try it. "

The foreigners attached great importance to Qiao Yu and Gu Feng, and this time they poured wine for them in glass cups.

When Qiao Yu saw the familiar red wine, he thought that the two flavors he was talking about might be the difference between dry red and soft red.

Anyway, he didn't really understand it, but he did taste that one was stronger and the other was much milder.

But in his opinion, they are all delicious wines.

Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng, who had been silent the whole time, "Husband, is it delicious?"

Gu Feng nodded: "Not bad."

Qiao Yu called Chen Han and Tie Zhu up again and said, "Try it. If I sell it for 200 coins per can, would you be willing to buy it?"

Chen Han and Tie Zhu took a few bites seriously.

Chen Han said: "I will buy it."

Tiezhu frowned and said, "I think the one brewed by the boss tastes better. I will buy the one made by the boss. This one is too expensive."

Chen Han was depressed that this kid had actually flattered his boss.

Qiao Yu laughed: "You're too kind. I only drink it for fun at home."

The foreigner asked suspiciously, "Guest, do you also make your own wine?"

"I have grapes at home, so I just make some. It can't compare to what you have."

Qiao Yu said modestly.

The foreigners thought Qiao Yu was very capable. You have to know that his family has been making wine for generations, and the wine they make in some years may not be good.

"By the way, what year's vintage is the wine you ordered this time?"

The foreigner was stunned for a moment before saying, "They are all from this year, don't worry, they are all fresh."

Qiao Yu hurriedly explained: "No, I mean, there is no three-year or five-year-old wine?"

Qiao Yu thought that the current storage conditions might not be very good, so he didn't ask about ten-year or twenty-year-old products.

The foreigners now really felt that Qiao Yu understood wine better than other Dayan people.

He immediately introduced enthusiastically: “Yes, yes.

But this time we only took a few barrels of five-year-old wine. The sunshine that year was particularly good, and the wine produced was particularly delicious.

But the price will definitely be higher.”

Gu Feng asked indifferently: "How much?"

Qiao Yu didn't expect that Gu Feng was more enthusiastic than him. She thought that her husband really liked wine. This was the first time he was so enthusiastic in asking the price.

Little did she know that in Gu Feng's eyes, his husband was chatting enthusiastically with a handsome foreigner. He felt like he was soaked in a jar of vinegar, extremely jealous.

The foreigner stretched out his hand and said, "Five ounces of gold for a bucket."

Gu Feng raised his eyebrows. This would be fifty taels of silver per barrel.

not cheap.

Chen Han and Tie Zhu took a deep breath.

My goodness, these five vintages of wine are too expensive!

A jar of liquor in Shangtian Village only cost two taels of silver.

Qiao Yu thinks that price is not important, what matters is whether it is worth it.

"Can I try it then?"

Qiao Yu asked directly.

The foreigner hurriedly asked his brothers to go to the boat to get some wine. If Qiao Yu and Gu Feng didn't look like honest people, he would have suspected that he had met a guy who loved drinking.

The foreigner's brothers quickly brought the wine, and Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng to taste it first.

Sure enough, the taste of this expensive one is obviously different from the previous ones as soon as you take a sip.

The aftertaste is also longer than before.

"Good wine!"

Gu Feng praised.

Qiao Yu also tried it himself and found it was indeed worth the price.

So Qiao Yu smiled and said to the foreigner, "Okay, now it's time for us to talk about the price. If I want all the wine on your ship, how much discount can you give me?"

"All of them? Are you sure?"

After all, the foreigners had been dealing with the Dayan people for a year, so they naturally knew that most men would listen to their husbands, so after asking Qiao Yu, he looked at Gu Feng.

Gu Feng nodded: "What my husband said is what he is sure of."

The foreigner pinched his leg in disbelief, then said to Qiao Yu, "Wait a moment, I will discuss this with my brothers."

Qiao Yu saw him running back to his boat happily like a teenager.

Not long after, a middle-aged man with a beard came down from the boat with him.

"Hello, are you going to buy all our wine?"

The middle-aged man's Dayan dialect was not as good as his younger brother's, but he could still understand it.

Qiao Yu smiled and nodded.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand: “If you can buy all of them, we can give you a 10% discount.

If necessary, we can also help you transport it to your port, but you will need to bear the shipping tariff."

Qiao Yu looked at their ship, it was too big.

"No need for delivery. The ship is too big and we are a small place. Can't you get a better discount?"

Although Qiao Yu felt that a 10% discount was quite a bit, what if the other party had not yet reached the lowest price?

The middle-aged man shook his head: "This 10% is already the best offer."

They seldom bargained for the price, and the reason they were able to get this 10% discount was because it usually took them at least a month to sell a shipload of wine.

This group of foreigners spent a lot of money in Nanyang this month.

If Qiao Yu buys it now, not only can he save the money, but he can also allow them to return home a month earlier.

That's why he agreed to the price his brother asked.

Qiao Yu knew the whole story, so he stopped wasting time.

After paying the deposit, the gold had to be exchanged at a money shop before payment could be made.
