Chapter 24

(Thanks to Bookworm and Yang Shuo Funing for your reward, thank you! Please vote for recommendation!)

I bought two pieces of paper and a piece of Maowen, plus a piece of ink and a piece of ink, and the money was gone.

Dabiao called the store owner robbing money.

"How can you measure the stationery for scholars like this? To be honest, the new dishes in Fuchun Restaurant today are sold at a very expensive price. It's just a plate of cucumbers, but they are always sky-high." The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed.

"Hold the grass!" Da Biao couldn't help but roar.

Isn’t the cucumbers in Fuchun Restaurant the one they sold yesterday? They sold 20 pieces of 5 cents each, and the wholesale price was only 100 cents in total. They sold them today and sold them for a plate of 100 cents?

Just one hand can be changed twice as much?

A profiteer, a big profiteer.

After leaving the store, Da Biao was still cursing her angrily.

"We have to find them, damn, and raise the price."

"Forget it, business, you are in love with me. We agreed yesterday to make five cents, and today they sell one plate for the same time. That is their own business. If you sell it, it is their ability. If you can't sell it, it has nothing to do with us. As for whether you are a tyrant or a tyrant, what does it have to do with us?"

As a businessman, no businessman can be traitor.

However, Li Xiao felt that this restaurant was just a gimmick to hype. It was really expensive to make a plate of dishes for money. Even Bear Paw Hump is not that expensive, but it is a fresh thing after all, so it is normal to hype and advertise.

After the beginning, this is new, especially when everyone finds that this Jade Green is not only unique to this store, so it will definitely not be able to sell at this high price.

"Why don't you take a look?" Da Biao said.

"What's there to see? It's more important to do the job."

"What else is serious?"

Li Xiao still had 1,000 yuan left in his hand, and he had to buy some candy. This was about making money, but there was no need to tell Da Biao and the others now. He didn't even say anything about Yang Dayan and Doctor Zhao.

Only Wanniang knows this plan at present.

"If you have nothing to do, go to the grain store to help transport the grain home. Be careful to wander around and meet someone from Zhang Bapi's family."

Li Xiao didn't forget to cheat Xiaobawang Zhang Chao last time. He sold cucumbers for five or six cents per family, but sold cucumbers for twenty cents per family, and he lied to them that there were only one hundred in total.

The people in the Zhang Papi family are not easy to meet. They are probably angry at this time. If they encounter them, they will definitely have some trouble.

"I have something to do. Let's leave first, and meet at the street corner when I finish it."

Li Xiao did not take anyone else and went out to the streets alone.

Although Lanxi Street is quite lively, there is only one candy shop.

This is a very large shop, but its name is Huichuntang. Looking at the signboard, Li Xiao stood there and was stunned for a while.

This store was once one of the several Li family's industries in Lanxi.

This is also a century-old pharmacy in Lanxi. Lanxi Street is not small, but this is the only one. It sells medicine and purchases medicinal materials, and also treats patients in the hall. It has always had a good reputation in Lanxi.

The business of this old store has always been very good, especially the income is very good. After all, no one can do without birth, old age, sickness and death. The old saying goes well, there is a pharmacy shop at home, and there is no exchange of fertile land for thousands of acres. This is exactly what it means.

However, this pharmacy is now under the name of the Zhang family.

Li Xiao hesitated for a while and still stepped onto the steps.

"I would rather let the medicine on the cabinet produce dust, but I hope that people in the world will not be sick."

Under the plaque of Huichun Hall, there are two lines of words at the door.

These two sentences are also a concept of the Li family's past operation of this pharmacy shop. The pharmacy shop does not aim to make money, but mainly saves people with medicine.

It is this sign that I don’t know how much good reputation I have won for the Li family.

When he stepped into the store, Li Xiao's eyes turned around, but found that he had not seen any of the elderly Li family members in the Chinese medicine shop.

I was both a little disappointed and a little relieved.

After the elderly turned around in the pharmacy, they either returned to their hometown in the countryside or made a fortune. No one left to do things for Zhang Basie.

"Is there any frosting sugar here?"

Li Xiao asked.

An old man looked up behind the counter, "There are 600 pounds per kilogram, the best frosting sugar, native to Jiaozhou, Lingnan, and the best frosting sugar in the Tang Dynasty, frosting is like snow and sweet as honey."

"Chang'an is only 500 yuan per pound, and your price is much more expensive." Li Xiao said.

"Our frosting is the most authentic one." The shopkeeper replied.

"Is that true, can you see?"

It seems a bit strange to buy sugar and pharmacies, but it is actually quite normal. Nowadays, many products are actually in pharmacies, such as sulfur, saltpeter, staple stone, lime, etc. Sugar, and some places are also available in pharmacies.

The shopkeeper called a friend and asked him to get frosting sugar.

There are high, medium and low-end sucrose in the pharmacy. The price is determined by color, and the whiter the more expensive it is. But the most expensive one is not white like frost and snow, but it is light white with yellow, while the cheapest one is almost black.

But even the darkest ones are called frosting sugar, which sells 110 cents per pound.

"Is there no whiter sand candy? The best sand candy in the Tang Dynasty is very white."

"This guest jokingly said that the best frosting here is the best, even whiter. Not to mention that we don't have it here, there is no Chang'an, and there is no one in the entire Tang Dynasty."

"Oh, the shopkeeper, don't bully me. I have seen whiter frosting sugar, and even saw large frosting sugar as crystal clear as crystal, called rock sugar."

"Rock candy?" the shopkeeper shook his head, "I have never heard of crystal-like rock candy."

"There is in Yangzhou. This is a newly extracted frosting sugar this year. Because it is large in size and crystal clear, like ice, it is called rock sugar. This sugar is now popular in Jiangnan, and noble families are rushing to buy it, and they are proud to treat rock sugar to guests."

The shopkeeper was quite well-known when he heard what Li Xiao said, but he really believed it a little.

"That's probably very expensive."

"Well, a pound of rock candy costs four or five jin of money, and there is still no market price."

"I didn't expect that the Emperor of Guanzhong was even worse than the Jiangnan area. Not only did there be no rock candy, but there was not even whiter frosting sugar. It was really disappointing."

The shopkeeper said, "If there is one in Jiangnan, then Chang'an will definitely be there soon. If the things in the world gather in Chang'an, there will be nothing that Chang'an does not have."

"Well, the shopkeeper's words are reasonable. If you can seize the opportunity and take the lead in a batch of rock icing sugar, I believe you can make a lot of money." After that, Li Xiao turned around and left.

Originally, he really planned to come here to buy candy, but seeing that the candy was so expensive, especially since the store had become the Zhang family, he changed his mind.

He did not speak nonsense, but did it intentionally.
