otherworldly happiness

Li Jian agreed and went in. The old rules were the same as last time. Put a table by the door, put a tablecloth on it to put pens, ink and papers, and put a basket under the tablecloth. This time it was to collect money.

Wait until I put all the apples in the box and basket I bought in the morning, and put them on the side where the apples are placed. In this way, the apples weigh about 100 catties, and the pears weigh 2000 catties and sell for more than [-] yuan per catty. In other words, it’s only more than [-] taels, and it’s not enough to deal with one-tenth of the space. Hey, it’s still worth selling precious medicinal materials. A good ginseng is worth this, and you don’t have to work so hard.

The ginseng bred in my own space, regardless of the interplanting in the woods on the mountain, is said to be in pieces in the field. It can be regarded as the most valuable Chinese medicinal material I know. There are many kinds of these. In order to prevent the ginseng that is too old to be sold and be targeted by others, I pulled out a lot of not too big ginseng and dried it. I also made some red ginseng according to Mr. Liu's teaching. , I left seven or eight of them just for Wu You's usual body nourishment. If it weren't for Mr. Liu saying that eating too much would not do, I wish I could eat it as a radish for him. It seems that I still need to find a chance to sell something.

As soon as I packed it up, there was a knock on the door. I opened the door and saw that there were more than a dozen porters outside the door. I saw that there were more people waiting, but I couldn't use these people?Those people knew that there were too many people at a glance, and some people said directly, "Or I will be outside the door, and I will help move out to earn some money when I come to buy it",

Looking at these people, I couldn't say directly: "Forget it, that's all. There is only one large scale here. You all know each other well. Let's see who will buy me another pole. You have also seen these. Today, you fifteen people, work hard, and I will give each of you a tael of silver when you sell out quickly. I believe you can earn more than fighting a bag for a day.

Later, you will find two people who will read the scale, and they will be responsible for weighing the weight. Others will mainly carry it according to the requirements of the people who will buy it later. You should divide it into groups, six to carry in the warehouse, and six to move out after weighing. Well, take turns when weighing the weight, after all, it’s too heavy so don’t get tired, and help me check the portal, don’t let people take the sheep, you supervise each other, I didn’t expect to sell it at this time, I wanted to wait for my own It’s here, but the outsiders can’t wait any longer. The ugly thing is, I’m afraid to use it if I can’t do it well. It’s better to just leave. Pay attention to the scale. You don’t need to be slippery and weigh more, just come flat. Alright, I'll book two good tables for you when it's sold out.

"Okay, don't worry, boss, we do this job a lot, and we will definitely do a good job for you."

"Just don't worry, we have to be worthy of the salary no matter what"

"that is"

"That's good, then let's start working, whoever will get the money to buy the scale", when someone is found to buy the scale, the rest of the people will open the door, the two doors of the warehouse are still very large, when the goods are delivered Carriages must be able to enter and exit, this time I opened one for the sake of selling goods.

The people outside saw the door opened, and they came in directly. The fruity smell that came over them as soon as they entered the warehouse was absolutely incredible. They all ran over to pick up the baskets to see the goods. Some asked for a price, and some wanted to ask for it all, so they almost got into a fight.

After Li Jian managed to persuade them not to do anything, they began to bid again. They originally planned to sell apples worth more than 100 renminbi per catty, but the highest bid was more than 600 renminbi per catty. Li Jian was taken aback. I still underestimated the wealth of Quanzhou, the largest port in the Chu Dynasty. The people here are not afraid that they will not be able to sell at a high price, but they are afraid that you will not have good goods.

When Li Jian was admonishing and bowing again, he managed to deal with these people, even the door was closed by the people they brought. According to them, the goods are not enough for the whole family. How will they be divided? Woolen cloth?Only then did Li Jian realize what a real caravan is and what a rich person is. Finally, Li Jian took some apples and pears for them to taste. No, people want to buy the total first to taste whether it is worth it or not.

After everyone tasted it, they asked about the source of the fruit, and whether there would be any stock in the future, so I had to continue to fool around in order not to miss the bottom line.

"To tell you the truth, I told you in the morning that the caravan I was in was going to deliver goods to other places, and I only came in the afternoon. I originally planned to start selling them in the afternoon, but I couldn't meet the demands of everyone, so I'm selling them now. The fruits are pulled here just after they are picked from the tree. You can check the fruit handle to see if they are fresh. These are from a large orchard in the north. There will be no more in the future. Excuse me for the specifics. Can't say anymore.

The fruits of his family are all good varieties, and they are usually stored in caves until winter to give new year gifts to each family. You can see how happy the Chinese New Year is with these red and red ones, especially when you light charcoal pots in winter. It is airtight, even the best silver frost charcoal has a taste, and the room will be even more stuffy if you order some spices. Put this apple in a fruit plate and put it in the room. It is beautiful and delicious, and the room is full of fruity fragrance. , better than any spice.

As for pears, they are indispensable in winter. They are big and sweet. In autumn and winter, your throat feels uncomfortable. If you cough, you can eat some pears. Stewed pears with rock sugar are no worse than your loquats here. Besides, there are no loquats in winter, even if it is not in winter, you will not be able to find such good fruits in the whole south now, are you afraid that you will not make money, and there is only one Quanzhou in the south, right?"

Hearing what Li Jian had said and tasted it was really good, they all wanted more, but Li Jian couldn't figure out the bottom line of these people, so it was hard to offend them, so he had to let them negotiate and settle it by themselves.

Except for those who need less, they will divide the others according to the number of baskets and baskets. If you come late and call the door, you will be embarrassed. When you ask if all the goods are available The same, Li Jian promises that they are all the same, you can go outside to inspect the goods in the sun, if there is a bad one, you can exchange ten, and the next time is busy moving the goods, weighing the goods and inspecting the goods.

The dozen or so people I found, plus what they brought, weighed all the goods after a busy morning. After paying the money, they inspected the goods at the door. As soon as they opened a piece of red apples and yellow pears, they put them on the table. All over the place, there were a lot of people in the port, and some came here to smell the smell. Seeing this scene, those who have money want to buy more, and those who have no money want to buy some to try. Unfortunately, Li Jian is out of stock, and those who can buy it are even more so. They don’t sell them at a higher price, and no one is stupid. Not counting how much it’s worth saving until winter, it’s just that if you put it in various big shops, the price will more than double. In those high-end restaurants, a fruit plate, half an apple and half a pear is enough That's enough, the money is all in a few taels of silver, isn't the rich just eating a rarity, needless to say, the taste is not bad.

While waiting for others to inspect the goods, other people were busy outside the door, so Li Jian put the baskets under the table into the space, and when no one closed the door, there was only an empty warehouse left when he went out. There was only one table left empty.

After Li Jian settled his wages, he ordered two tables of banquets in a nearby restaurant and paid the money, and asked them to eat there and wait for the inspection here. Seeing more and more people gathering, Li Jian wanted to turn around Just leave, what if someone you know recognizes you?Although I changed my clothes, wiped things on my face, hands, neck, etc., and put a fake beard on it, but I can still see the familiar ones, and the goods are fine. I know that others don’t.

After finally inspecting the goods, I didn’t wait for those people to say that I would come to them next time when there was a good product, so I said hello and said that I was going to pick up the people in the caravan, and walked to the pier. Afraid of being followed,

In the middle, I entered the space with people behind my back, changed clothes a few times, got rid of my beard, and returned to the original appearance before rushing to the pier. Fortunately, other people thought that there were still things and money in the warehouse, at least I didn’t see myself pretending The money came out, and the journey went smoothly.

Although this time the apples were sold at 550 Wen a catty, and the pears were sold at 1 Wen a catty, and they sold for more than [-] taels of silver. It is impossible to plant fruit trees locally without a reasonable source.

While walking, I ate the spring rolls I bought on the way, and then rushed to the boat. When I got there, I saw that only Xiao Zhao was in the cabin, and no one else had come back. I went to the deck to inquire about the boat leaving early tomorrow morning, and there was still time to go. Going around, this time I went to spend money, but I still don't go there for safety reasons.

I went to Dr. Wang’s cabin to see if he was back, and found that he had already returned. Seeing Li Jian came to him, he asked if he had bought anything. Li Jian had no choice but to buy something that didn’t take up space. Medicinal materials, I don’t know anything else. When two people talked about the good things they could meet when they went out, they talked about the topic of spices, only to realize that no one should be underestimated. Dr. Wang Jun is like an encyclopedia. When it comes to spices Its curative effects such as healing and beauty, as well as the benefits of being an ingredient, are well-thought-out and well-versed.

Since ancient times, literati and scholars have been fond of spices, especially the new fragrances formulated by some master perfumers have been affirmed by everyone. There are exclusive secret recipes for perfumery, and every large spice shop in the city has its own characteristics from raw materials to perfumers.

Speaking of the rise, I took Li Jian to the shop to give a lecture on the spot, mainly talking about the various natural spices that come in as raw materials, the characteristics of the place of origin, and so on.

Sandalwood is also divided into red sandalwood, yellow sandalwood and white sandalwood according to its woodiness. etc. In addition to making incense, Shenmu can also be used to make tea and drink. Shenshui tea has great benefits for the body, and has the effect of dredging the meridians and calming the nerves.As far as the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine is concerned, it is an aromatic and stomach-dispelling medicine; it is especially effective in treating qi and asthma; it is also effective for anuria, nervous vomiting, abdominal pain, and mental depression, chest tightness, and stomach cramps. In short, Shen not only has the effect of sedation, analgesia, astringent and dispelling wind, but also helps to calm the central nervous system.

The afternoon passed quickly, and the two chatted very speculatively. Li Jian invited Dr. Wang to the best restaurant on the port to have a meal of local specialty seafood, and went back when he was full. I gained a lot today, not only earning money, but also knowing that Dr. Wang is knowledgeable and talented. I learned a lot about spices. Someone is willing to teach you. This is a good thing that is hard to find even with a lantern. The future journey will not be boring. Now, I still have to learn more from Dr. Wang, so I can go out and save my eyes from being smeared. Even if I encounter a good spice, it is not easy to miss it.
