Chapter 19 Copper Coins

This week is about to end, and every day it is two updates, around 10 a.m. and around 7 p.m.

The results of this book are not ideal at the moment. We are working hard to get on the list, asking for rewards, collections, recommendations, clicks, comments and other support!

...

It was not until the sunset was about to set that the ox cart driven by Mr. and Mrs. Zhao appeared on the rugged path. A few little guys who had long been looking through Qiushui immediately rushed over with laughter and jumping.

Seeing the local objects piled up on the ox cart and the joyful look that Zhao and his wife tried hard to hide but could not hide it, Li Anran's vague heart finally let go.

After the ox cart was parked outside the yard, everyone, including the little guy, helped to move the things on the car into the house. They worked hard for almost two quarters of an hour, only half an hour before they moved the things on the car.

This time, the most popular items brought back by Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were not the newly bought pork, nor the wine sealed with yellow mud, but the copper coins that were covered with black cloth in bamboo baskets and were very heavy.

After a car of items were sent into the house, a few small ones were sent to the yard with a pack of snacks and watched some people. As for Li Anran and the others, they gathered in the main hall and started to distribute the dirty things. No, it should be dividends.

In fact, this time when I went to the city to sell grilled char siu and snow sugar, Li Anran originally wanted to go there in person. After all, the Zhao and his wife were just ordinary people, and they were far inferior to those from later generations when it comes to picking up people and bargaining. But then I thought about it, since I had planned to use these two families well, sooner or later, they would have to face the situation of being the ones. And as the business grew bigger and bigger, there would be more and more problems to face.

Instead of letting them get into many problems in the future, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the business has just begun and experience it first. If there is a problem with their ability, they can also make some adjustments in their positions later. But considering that this is the first "cannon" after traveling through time, it is quite critical whether they can fire it. Therefore, Li Anran was not so stupid that he placed all his hopes on Mr. and Mrs. Zhao.

In addition to carefully explaining some possible problems before the two left, the first batch of roasted char siu and snow sugar did not ask the Zhao and his wife to find the buyer themselves, but went directly to Changchun Hall. Compared with the Zhao and his wife who lived in Zhaojia Village, Sun Changgeng, who has the dual identities of attending doctors and bosses of Changchun Hall, has far surpassed too much in terms of identity and connections, both in terms of status and connections.

Even though the two businesses of roasted char siu and snow sugar have nothing to do with Changchuntang itself, with Sun Changgeng's reputation, it is much better than Zhao Da and his wife taking goods to find a buyer by themselves. For this reason, Li Anran not only prepared a roasted char siu and snow sugar as a gift, but also wrote a letter with the pen, ink, paper and ink bought by Zhao Da the first day.

In the letter, in addition to asking the other party to help solve the problem of selling roasted char siu and snow sugar, he also talked about some trauma treatment in a discussion tone. At the end of the letter, he also left a "tail" specifically to express that he "thinked" another prescription, a prescription specifically used to treat trauma.

Li Anran admitted that he did something about trading. But considering that he had just arrived in the Tang Dynasty, he had no foundation, and he was locked up in addition to trading, so he couldn't think of any qualifications for others to do things for him.

"Real person, this is a letter from Dr. Sun." Before telling about his experience of going to the county town this time, Zhao Dacong carefully took out a letter and handed it out.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Anran, who had received the letter, did not rush to dismantle it, but smiled gently.

"No, no, no, no," said Zhao Da, who waved his hands repeatedly.

When he saw the letter, Li Anran knew that his original idea should have been fulfilled. So he didn't wait for Zhao Da to speak, but opened the letter directly. The contents of the letter were divided into three parts. The first part was that Sun Changgeng expressed his gratitude to the previous letter about trauma treatment.

The second part is to say very politely that although the roasted char siu and snow sugar were sold this time, they were not helpful in terms of price, and they are very sorry. The last part shows that Rendan has been successfully trial-making, and a large person happened to have a problem with this, and the effect after the trial was very good.

The other party was very optimistic about Rendan's prospects and was willing to buy this prescription for 2,000 guan. However, Sun Changgeng did not dare to agree and specifically told him that he hoped that Li Anran would make a decision. After reading this letter, Li Anran just pondered for a while and put it into the treasure bag with him, and then talked with Zhao Da about the gains this time.

Through Zhao Da’s narration, Li Anran realized the humble side of the ancients. What does it mean to not help? This time, thanks to Sun Changgeng’s help.

The roasted char siu was finally bought by the Hongfu Building in the county. The price was quite good, much higher than selling raw meat directly. The snow sugar was bought by a merchant in the county that was originally engaged in the sugar business. The price naturally made the Zhao and his wife even more happy.

If Sun Changgeng hadn't helped, it would be different to say whether char siu and snow sugar could be sold at such a high price. But even so, no matter whether it is Hongfulou's boss or the expert who specializes in sugar business, they all expressed their interest in the recipes of roasted char siu and snow sugar.

According to Zhao Da, both of these companies are willing to buy the formula at a high price. Especially the recipe for snow sugar, even Zhao Da can see that the other party is eager to calm down. Li Anran is not surprised at all. It is not a surprise to roast char siu, but it is just a food after all, and even if the taste is good, it is not a big deal. But snow sugar is different. The almost white sugar is not only good-looking, but also sweet. As long as there is no problem with the brain, anyone can see how much benefit it will be.

Moreover, Zhao Da happened to buy miscellaneous candy from the other party’s house. He turned around and sold the snow-white candy back. As long as the other party had some brains, he could think of something. Although Sun Changgeng did not explain this clearly in his letter, he specially introduced the origin and background of these two merchants and the adult who happened to be saved by Rendan.

When he thought about using snow sugar to earn his first pot of gold after time travel, Li Anran had already expected that he might encounter such a thing, but he didn't expect that this matter would come so quickly. After listening to Zhao Da, who was excited and had some incoherent narratives, Li Anran did not tell the matter behind this transaction. With the situation of the Zhao brothers, it would be useless to say it, and it would only increase his worries.

After piled up all the copper coins sold this time on the table, looking at the strings of copper coins that looked like a hill, Li Anran felt a little amused.

This pile of money looks a lot, but if it is replaced with silver, the size and weight will be reduced immediately, but the Zhao couple would rather protect the copper coins back. Then they felt relieved. Although there were already three currencies such as gold, silver and copper in the Tang Dynasty, the real circulating copper coins were mainly Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Silver is a mid-to-high-end currency that rich families do large-scale businesses or use for convenience. As for gold, there are not many places to be used as money except for jewelry.

About 200 kilograms of wild boar meat, and finally made about 100 kilograms of roasted char siu. One kilogram of the other party gave a "high price" of 30 cents, and this alone cost more than 3,000 yuan.

On the side of the snow sugar, more than 100 kilograms of mixed sugar finally got less than 50 kilograms of snow sugar, one kilogram of 800 jin, which is nearly 40,000 yuan. One thousand coins are Yiguan, and Yiguan is a string. This forty thousand coins is forty ten jin. Although it is only forty taels of silver, if it is all copper coins, it will naturally have a visual impact when put together.

It is indeed quite high if the price of 800 pounds per pound. But it is good to not be able to withstand this snow sugar, and it is also a scorpion's rake - a portion of (poison) (defer).

In Li Anran's opinion, it is not an exaggeration to sell the snow sugar for 1,500 yuan per pound. Anyway, this kind of thing is not for ordinary people to consume. Just like the lines in a classic film in later generations say it well, you have to learn to understand the psychology of consumers when selling things. Those who can afford to buy the snow sugar at 800 yuan per pound will definitely not mind spending 800 yuan to buy it.

As for the price of roasted char siu, although Thirty Monte seems to be a good price, it is low in Li Anran's opinion. However, when you think of the status of pork in this era, you can understand it. You can make the same food, but it is not something that a few people think is good, and you also need to accept the taste of diners. You can get all the char siu at once. To be honest, Hongfulou is also at a certain risk.
