Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 67: Changan chicken is expensive
Li Zexuan came home, the sky was getting dark, and he brought the iron egg with him by the way. Now that he has accepted this apprentice, Li Zexuan plans to teach him well. Let Tie Dan live in the West Yard first, anyway, the West Yard is so big, just pick a wing room for him.
As for Han Yuxi, of course he didn’t come with him. Li Zexuan planned to let her come over to help mix the wine when he was finished. At that time, it was estimated that the first batch of fruit wine made by Han Jiazhuang would just be delivered. Recently, he really has no time to care. This, there are too many things to do.
At dinner in the evening, both Li's father and Li's mother expressed great kindness to the new member of Tie Dan. The Tie Dan, who has always been a tiger-headed man, was a little embarrassed, and Lan'er was often teased during the dinner.
Lan'er is also very happy with the arrival of Tie Dan, and now she finally has a playmate of the same age. Although her elder brother treats herself very well, he always treats herself as a child. Lan'er is always a bit aggrieved. At this time, the iron egg came, and she is not the youngest. Of course, this is just what she thinks. Actually Tiedan is a few months older than her.
After dinner, Li Zexuan reported the number of chickens raised by the farmer in Hanjiazhuang today to Dad Li in his study. Dad Li was surprised:
"80,000? So many? Xuan'er, so many chickens, can the farmers raise them?"
"Father, don’t worry, you will definitely be able to raise it. My boy will arrange it for the farmers. My boy will prepare to purchase chicken fry tomorrow and send it to Hanjiazhuang in batches."
Li Jingmo nodded and said: "Well, the sooner this thing is, the better!"
"Then, do you know the market situation of Chang'an chicken seedlings? How much is one?"
Li Jingmo thought for a while, and said, “It’s about seventy or eighty writings. It’s just that Xuan'er you need such a large number of chicken fry, I’m afraid it will be difficult for the vendors in Chang'an City to fully supply it.”
one piece of seven or eighty, so expensive? Li Zexuan was shocked. The chicken fry from the previous life was only three or four yuan each, which is almost equivalent to about a dozen texts in the Tang Dynasty, but it is relieved after thinking about it. Modern chickens are hatched in large-scale automatic incubators. Yes, the cost will naturally be lower.
After hearing the second half of the words of the old man, Li Zexuan frowned and said: "Father, do you have a way to provide a large number of chickens in a short time?"
In his impression, his father is omnipotent as long as it is related to business, but this time he disappointed him.
I saw Father Li shook his head, showing a helpless expression.
"Xuan'er, I did various businesses for my father in the early years, but I never set foot in the chicken market for my father."
Uh, Li Zexuan is also somewhat helpless.
"Then you can buy as much as you can and send as much as you want. I believe that those vendors who see that the chicken market is in short supply, they will definitely find a way. Then we will have to give a little more money!"
Li Jingmo nodded and smiled: "Hehe, your kid sees it thoroughly."
……
Early the next morning, Li Zexuan called Wang Zhong and asked him to take Sambo Afu's family to buy as many chicken fry as he could in the East City.
Several people took their money and left. Li Zexuan thought it all together. If one counts one piece of eighty texts, it would take about six thousand four hundred for 80 thousand chicks. Of course, with Li Zexuan's massive purchases, there will certainly be many vendors sitting on the floor and raising prices. Li Zexuan felt that in the end, if he wanted to buy 80,000 chicken fry, it would cost about 8 to 9 thousand.
This is really expensive.
Tie Dan was also mentioned by Li Zexuan early in the morning to slip away, and let him learn to read characters from Lan'er. This made Lan'er happy. She didn't expect that she would have a day as a husband. Seeing the little girl, carrying her hands behind her back, pretending to be a mature and polite, teaching Tie Dan, Li Zexuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
……
In fact, Li Zexuan’s guess was not wrong at all. After Wang Zhong and the others came to the East Market, just like the bandits, they met a vendor selling chicken fry and directly bought out the other’s inventory.
The noses of merchants are the most sensitive. Some merchants will soon learn about the news from Wang Zhong and others. As a result, every place was moved by the wind, and while raising the price of chickens, they sent people to the surrounding counties to purchase a large number of chickens. In half a day, the price of chickens rose from 75 cents to 85 cents, and finally even It has risen to the sky-high price of ninety texts. For a while, Chang'an chicken is expensive.
But Wang Zhong and the others still didn't care about the price. They wiped out all the chicken fry in the West Market, and told the vendors that they needed a lot of chicken fry, so that they could hurry up and buy.
……
"Master, the old slave bought all the chicken fry in West Market. There were only more than 8,000 chickens in total. Finally, some vendors raised their prices, but the old slaves bought them all. Those vendors will go to the surrounding area today. The county buys goods, we can continue to buy tomorrow."
In the front yard of the Li mansion, Wang Zhong pointed to a dozen large wooden boxes on the ground to report to Li Zexuanhui. A noisy “tweeting” sound came from the wooden box, and it was so lively for a while.
Li Zexuan nodded ~ IndoMTL.com~ agreed: "Uncle Wang, you are right, I believe that the chicken fry will only be more expensive tomorrow. Too troubled, Uncle Wang will take seven or eight family members and hire a few cars. Transport these chicken seedlings to Hanjiazhuang and give them to Han Lizheng to distribute them in the order in which everyone signed up at the time. He also asked Han Lizheng to call up the staff in the Zhuangzi at once, pay 30 cents per person a day, and ask them to surround the back mountain. Come out of a chicken farm. You will continue to buy chicken fry tomorrow."
Wang Zhong nodded and agreed, then immediately went to gather the staff.
……
Li Zexuan returned to the West Yard, came to his study, spread out a piece of rice paper, closed his eyes, drew the structure of the Quyuan Plow, and marked it with dimensions (Li Zexuan also learned about the Lower Tang Dynasty during this period Unit of size, the marked size is naturally converted)
and the precautions required for processing each part.
After finishing the drawing, Li Zexuan rolled up the drawing and was going to Yan Shaoning's house to find him. Of course, the sooner this matter, the better, the farmers in Hanjiazhuang are still waiting for his Quyuan to plow the land.
Under the leadership of a small Jiading at home, Li Ze came to Yan's house. After the concierge notified him, Yan Shaoning greeted him with a big laugh.
"Haha, how come Xiaoxuan has time to come and see him today!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Brother Shaoning, as our technical director of Qiquge, one of the four major shareholders, of course the younger brother has to come to recognize the door, haha!"
Yan Shaoning is full of black lines on his forehead. He hates the title of technical director very much, but Li Zexuan does not agree to change it to him. Now when he hears these words, he feels a little responsive, and he coughs twice. Yan Shaoning said:
"Xiaoxuan, come and sit with me in the lobby, what do you think of standing at the door."
Li Zexuan nodded and followed Yan Shaoning into the mansion gate.
