At the end of March, the green vegetables in the field were almost grown, and the watermelon frost had already stored seventy to eighty catties. Duan Jie borrowed Aunt Song's ox cart, and was going to go to Guangshantang to hand over the watermelon frost, and by the way Sell ​​these dishes.This time he doesn't plan to go to the market to sell it, he wants to try selling it at several restaurants in the town.Since it's a test sale, you don't need to bring too much, just about twenty or thirty catties.

Sang Feng and Tuantuan also went together. Duan Jie's plan was that after selling these things, if there is still time, everyone will go shopping and see what is delicious and interesting to buy some to take home.However, he did not expect that today's trip would cause quite a lot of trouble.

It was not a day to go to the market, and no one in the village took advantage of the bullock cart to go to town. Duan Jie's family of three monopolized the entire bullock cart, and wandered to town.It's the warm spring time now, along the way, Duan Jie took out all kinds of snacks and snacks that he had prepared, and he and Tuantuan ate non-stop.Sang Feng looked at the similar eating appearance of the two, secretly thought that they really deserved to be father and son.

"The shopkeeper is here. I'm here to deliver the medicine." In order not to affect the business of the pharmacy, Duan Jie specially parked the ox cart far away.The watermelon frost was in the car, and Duan Jie went to the door empty-handed. It weighed fifty catties, and it contained several bottles, so he didn't want to carry it by himself.

"Hey, brother Yu is here. You've got the medicine. Our shopkeeper said that if he doesn't come, he will go to your place to urge you." The guy who greeted him was Wang Cheng, and it was Duan Jie who had dealt with him a few times before. When Duan Jie saw him, he hurriedly greeted him, and asked, "Brother Wang, how many times did my brother from the same village come to fetch medicine last time?"

"Not many times, that person only spent one or two or three renminbi to grab the medicine. Just in time, I said that I will take the opportunity of you delivering the medicine this time to return the rest of the money to you." Wang Cheng hurried in. Weighed one tael or seven qian and gave it to Duan Jie.

Duan Jie thanked Wang Cheng again and accepted the money. The two were talking when the shopkeeper of the pharmacy came in.Because it was all agreed in the contract, there was nothing to talk about, and everyone just exchanged pleasantries.The shopkeeper tested the medicine, weighed it, and gave Duan Jie a note to collect the medicine, with a seal on it.As for the money, another 20 taels will be paid when the medicine is delivered next time.

Duan Jie put away the receipt and put it close to his body. There must be no mistakes in this thing, it is the proof for him to get the money.After finishing this matter, Duan Jie was not in a hurry to leave, but asked Wang Cheng about the restaurants in the city.

"I said Brother Wang, I want to ask you something." After speaking, Duan Jie took out a dozen or so copper coins and stuffed them into the clerk's hand first.

Wang Cheng is a clever man. Although the money is good, it depends on whether he can accept it. Last time it was easy, so he accepted it. This time he didn’t know anything. How could he be willing to take it? On the one hand, "Brother Yu, what do you mean by that? If I can help you, I will definitely help you. How can I ask for your money?"

Duan Jie smiled and put the copper coins into the hands of the clerk, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, this is not a difficult task, I just want to ask you about a few restaurants in this town. I will never do anything to embarrass you thing."

"Brother Yu, what do you want the restaurant to do? But you want to invite people to dinner?" Wang Cheng asked with a look of doubt.

Duan Jie waved his hand, "I don't have the money to invite people to restaurants for dinner. It's not that I have grown a lot of vegetables this year, and I want to sell some of them to restaurants, so I want to ask someone about the situation of these restaurants. Brother Wang, you know Yes, we are farmers, how can we usually have spare money to eat in restaurants, I don’t even know how many restaurants there are in this town, so I want to ask someone who knows.”

As soon as Wang Cheng heard this, he was relieved, "If you say that the best restaurant in this town is Zuixianlou, all the merchants who come and go know this restaurant, and our shopkeeper often has banquets here. His family The purchaser is a relative of the shopkeeper, so he is not easy to talk to." Then, Wang Cheng pointed to the purse at his waist, "I want this."

I want a kickback.How much vegetables can be sold on one acre of land, and it is not worth it to give kickbacks.Duan Jie thought for a moment, then said: "Is there any restaurant that is not close to business, that is, the kind that can't close the door and can't make much money." It's just icing on the cake, it's better to find someone with poor business, it should be easier to talk.

"That should be Fuyunlou." Wang Cheng thought for a while, "This restaurant has been open for a few years, but the business has not been very good. Maybe the taste of the food is not as good as Zuixianlou. Our shopkeeper only invited people there. After two visits, I don’t want to go, and now I’m just holding on.”

Duan Jie was delighted when he heard it, this is exactly what he was looking for, the business is not good, the shopkeeper must want to improve the business, take this dish by himself, if the other party thinks it is good, maybe it will come for a long time Buy.

Because he took Duan Jie's money, Wang Cheng told him everything he could know, including the shopkeeper's preferences, the staff in the store, and the approximate price of the vegetables.Duan Jie thanked him, came out of the pharmacy happily, and went to meet Sang Feng.

"Ah Feng, let's go, let's go to Fuyun Building." With a wave of Duan Jie's hand, he was ready to drag his family there to discuss business.

Duan Jie and the others hadn't gone far, when they saw a rather familiar plump figure walking out of a tea shop next to Guang Shan Tang.This person is none other than Sang Feng's aunt Zhang.Coincidentally, because Sang Li suffered from aphthous sores, no matter how much he ate, he never got better.I heard that Guangshantang has a new medicine for aphthous sores. It is very effective and not expensive. It can be cured for a few pennies at a time.Today, this woman came to Guangshantang specially to get medicine, so she met Sang Feng and the others before she knew it.At first, Mrs. Zhang wanted to go up and stab Sang Feng a few times, but when she heard Duan Jie shouting that the medicine was delivered, Mrs. Zhang stopped in her tracks.

Delivery medicine?Isn't this guy surnamed Yu a guy who digs food in the ground, why did he send medicine to Guang Shan Tang?In fact, Mrs. Zhang didn't think too much at first, but just had the kind of mind to ask gossip.In Zhang's eyes, both Duan Jie and Yu Shi had tricked her. Seeing that the enemy seemed to be related to a big drug store, it was natural to be curious.

After a while, Mrs. Zhang saw people from the pharmacy unloading a few bottles from the bullock cart, and then Duan Jie followed them into the inner hall, and came out after a long while.This gave Mrs. Zhang too much room for imagination.Then I heard Duan Jie say that he was going to Fuyun Building, which made Zhang even more fanciful. Although the business of Fuyun Building is not very good, no ordinary family would be willing to go to a restaurant to eat, let alone this is a villager. For those who eat, they will never be willing to have a drink once in their life.

Could this man have made a fortune?Looking at the back of Duan Jie and the others leaving, the more Zhang thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. The boy surnamed Yu didn't seem to be so happy the year before last. Don't talk about him, just look at Sang Feng, the clothes he was wearing were even patched Nothing, even the shoes are new.If it wasn't for making money, how could he be willing to wear such good things for a slave.

Zhang felt like a cat was scratching, turned around and went to inquire with the owner of the tea shop.People come and go to this pharmacy every day, there are too many people coming, and the owner of the tea shop is too busy with his own business, so how can he keep an eye on other people's pharmacy every day to see who is going to and from the pharmacy.Duan Jie never came to rest at his place, and he only came to this Guangshan Hall four or five times a year, who could remember him.Unless someone pays attention, no one will care what he does, so the owner of the tea shop didn't know what to do, but Mrs. Zhang didn't give up, and went to a few small shops around the pharmacy to inquire, but only one of them remembered how many times Duan Jie had been here. The first few times, it seemed to be carrying something on its back, but this time it pulled a bullock cart, but it is not clear what it is.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to ask the clerk at Guangshantang, how could they pay attention to her, and seeing that the clerk had a good relationship with that bitch from the Yu family, he would definitely not tell the truth.After much deliberation, Mrs. Zhang decided to go home and discuss the matter with Sang Li.

How did Duan Jie know that so many things happened after they left.He found Fuyun Building, parked the ox cart beside him, told Sang Feng to watch the cart and Tuantuan, and went in to find someone to negotiate business with.

"Happy news to the expensive restaurant." Duan Jie said with a smile as soon as he entered the door.Businessmen are most superstitious about this. If you say good news, ordinary stores will not easily accept people.

"This little brother, why do you like it?" The waiter looked at Duan Jie's attire, he didn't look like a businessman who came to eat, but he didn't look like a beggar, so he asked a question impatiently.

"Congratulations to your restaurant's business is going up steadily."

"Thank you for your good words. How did this little brother see that my family's business is going up steadily." The left and right restaurants also had no business, so the shopkeeper simply stopped what he was doing and came out to listen to Duan Jie's nonsense.He saw that Duan Jie was young, cleanly dressed, and articulate, and felt that it was okay to listen to what the other party had to say.If it's a good deal, it's okay to give him some money.

"Because I brought a dish to your store. If your store uses this dish to stir-fry and sell it, customers must eat it once and think about it twice, and eat it twice and think about it three times. Doesn't that mean the business is booming?"

The shopkeeper and the guy burst out laughing. It was the first time he had seen someone selling vegetables like this before. Seeing Duan Jie's tender face, the guy wanted to tease him, "Then this dish is really good. Alright, my little brother also took out this dish to let us see how it goes."

What I want is your words, Duan Jie left a sentence to wait, and moved the vegetable basket to the shop in a hurry when he returned to the ox cart, "Hey, shopkeeper, I don't want to talk big, this dish looks ordinary, taste But it’s not ordinary. You just ask someone to take it down, fry it on a plate, and then use the original dishes in your store to fry another plate, taste it yourself, compare the taste, and then you will know that we are not the one lying.”
