The Only Favourite Ugly Husband: 39|Make money in Fucheng
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the ugly husband!
In ancient times, the information was not smooth, the logistics were inconvenient, and the people had very little money, so that most of the merchants did very little business. Although there are also rich businessmen, they are only a few, basically all. Only if you have a relationship with the government can you make a lot of money.
For example, the sweet-scented osmanthus Xia family who married the Xue family in the Red Mansion was originally in the flower and grass business, but because of the name in the household department, they made money back. To be honest, their business is limited to "the Osmanthus Bureau in and outside the city, all belong to his family", which is incomparable to the situation where modern chain stores are opened all over the country.
Because of this, those merchants who came together to purchase goods did not dare to buy too much goods, and the situation in He Cheng County could actually consume the amount of goods they bought.
Jiang Zhen bought a cargo like this...They all thought Jiang Zhen was crazy.
Wang Haisheng was also a little worried when he heard this, they did buy a lot of goods, he felt that so many things, he was afraid that he would not be able to sell it for a lifetime...
But at any rate, there are real things, and they are all very durable. It's a big deal to keep them for yourself.
"We plan to walk around in various places and sell while walking." Jiang Zhen explained, but did not say that he actually wanted to go to Fucheng to sell. Of course, even if he told these people that he wanted to go to Fucheng to sell, these people I’m afraid I don’t understand—there are also marine merchants in Fucheng. How can Jiang Zhen win the local merchants there when he goes there to do business?
"It turns out that you go to more remote villages, you should be able to sell some." That humane, sympathetically glanced at Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng. The two people's business didn't open the scene. I can run around like this...
These marine merchants stayed in this fishing village for a day and two nights before leaving, and Jiang Zhen took this opportunity to learn about the situation in this fishing village and the private salt he had previously thought about.
The price of salt outside is very expensive, but in this fishing village, no one makes salt and sells it, and there are many reasons.
At this time, the salt-making process is not as good as that of later generations. The salt of later generations is all exposed to the sun. It does not require much manpower and material resources. Therefore, the fine salt in the supermarket is only two or three yuan per pack, which is a cheap piece. Money can buy a pack, but this year is different.
Nowadays, people mainly rely on fire to make salt. As a result, salt making is more troublesome, and it costs firewood.
Because of this, it is easier to control the people over the salt field and prevent them from making salt. For example, in this fishing village and Hongjiang salt field, people will come over from time to time to see and find that there are people who are cutting wood and cooking too much. When the salt came out, it was either killed or caught. Over time, no one dared to cook too much salt.
After getting to know more, Jiang Zhen let go of his previous thoughts of engaging in illegal salt sales.
He didn’t think he was too rebellious to sell illegal salt, because he didn’t have much sense of belonging to the dynasty now called Daqi, and he didn’t regard it as his own country at all, and the price was a necessity It was so high that many people couldn't afford it, and it seemed to him too.
Of course, he didn't plan to justify the people. He had thoughts like that before, mainly for the sake of his own life. Similarly, if he traveled to the 1960s and 1970s, in order to live a good life, he would probably do some speculation secretly, reselling eggs and food stamps.
After all, in essence, he does not agree with such a system.
However, he wanted to sell illegal salt mainly to improve his life, but he didn't intend to lose his life. When he found that this road was not working, Jiang Zhen put it down decisively, but it was a pity.
It's really not easy to make money these days.
Their small fleet set off again in the early morning and went back, and when they got to the place where they had been charged a toll of 200 cents before, someone went on board to check again.
It was some fierce men who got on the boat, and after they got on the boat, they started to check the things on the boat, especially the salted fish.
Notice this, Jiang Zhen felt relieved. He had discovered before that the people who went with him didn't buy too many salted fish. After thinking about it, he didn't buy too much salted fish, but now it seems that he did it right.
"What are you doing with these things?" After the inspectors on the ship saw the cargo on Jiang Zhen's ship, they used a knife to pierce the clams that Bai Jiang Zhen had packed with fishing nets.
"No money for this." Jiang Zhen suppressed his momentum, looking very non-existent.
"Yes, no money!" The man smiled twice, then stretched out his hand to Jiang Zhen: "Come on, two taels of silver."
Jiang Zhen didn't ask anything, and gave him two taels of silver.
"Although he is a newcomer, he is very on the road." The man faced Jiang Zhen and jumped out of the boat and left.
Their small team was released. Until this time, those who came here with Jiang Zhen told Jiang Zhen some rules. For example...for two hundred catties of salted fish, at least Offering a couple of silver, this silver will only be more, not less.
These people don't seem to have rejected Jiang Zhen, but in the end they are not happy with Jiang Zhen, but Jiang Zhen is not surprised, after all, no one likes to steal business with them.
They are willing to bring him here, and they are already treating him well.
We said hello to those people, and Jiang Zhen separated from them. He and Wang Haisheng did not return to Hecheng County, but changed their routes to Fucheng.
Jiang Zhen already had an idea about how to sell his cargo in the fishing village by the sea.
It takes almost a day to walk to Fucheng by the sea. Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng walked slowly along the river. That evening, they arrived at Fucheng.
On this road, both Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng are very busy. One of them rowed the boat, and the other soaked the kelp in water. At first, they cut the kelp into several sections and then soaked it in the traditional way. Later, Jiang Zhen was annoyed and couldn’t put too much water on the boat. Tie the dried kelp with rope, throw them directly into the water, let them soak in the river and then catch them.
After he caught it, he took a brush to scrub the kelp again, and scrubbed the kelp clean.
As for why Jiang Zhen did this, it has to do with the method of eating dried kelp and the way people sell kelp at this time.
People on the beach will make dried kelp and sell it to marine merchants, and when marine merchants sell them, they also sell dried kelp directly.
On the other hand, the treatment of dried kelp is very troublesome. Not only do you have to soak it for a day and night, but also brush it off. That’s all. When you buy it, look at a small piece of kelp. You will find it special after you soak it. Very big!
A kelp is often eaten by a family for a few days. After all, if you eat too much, you will get tired.
Because of this, in modern supermarkets or vegetable markets, kelp is basically sold in soaks and cuts. Customers can buy as much as they want, but at this time, everyone only sells dried kelp.
Dried kelp is dark and grey, and it’s not very good. The price of a piece of kelp is not cheap. Converted, the price of a pound of kelp is the same as pork.
Even if a pound of seaweed is soaked, there can be a lot of them, but except for the New Year, people are not willing to spend money to buy it.
Jiang Zhen planned to soak the seaweed and then sell it.
It takes a lot of work to do this, but if it can be sold, it is estimated that it can make a lot more than selling dried kelp, and it is better to sell.
After arriving at Fucheng, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng drove the boat outside the city.
They soaked the kelp in the river, washed it, cut off the bad parts, and then cut it into filaments.
The two have been cutting the ground and their hands are sore, they finally cut out three hundred catties of kelp, and these three hundred catties of kelp, in fact, only used 100 catties of dried sea kelp to cut.
More importantly, the original dried kelp in a bundle, one hundred catties, looked quite small, but this bubble burst all the way, and it suddenly became too much, they couldn't fit it on the boat!
Fucheng is very large and very prosperous. It is not comparable to Hecheng County.
Every morning, people outside the city will pick up their own vegetables to sell in Fucheng. Some of them sell them on the streets, while others sell them in fixed places.
On this day, a boat appeared in a river in Fucheng. Two men came down from the boat, and also a lot of salted fish and kelp... They were obviously here to sell seafood.
There is a special shop selling seafood here in Fucheng. People here like to buy them in familiar places, so at first no one noticed them, and no one bought anything with them, until one of them shouted: "Kelp! A bowl of kelp for a penny!"
A penny and a bowl of kelp?
Why are kelp sold in a bowl?
Many people looked over in surprise and found that someone was selling small, green and green kelp. The kelp was washed clean and looked very attractive.
"How do you sell this kelp?" asked an old lady who passed by with a basket.
"That's all, a penny." Jiang Zhen grabbed a handful of kelp and gave it to the old lady.
The handful of kelp he grabbed looks quite a lot. When he goes home and cooks it, he can indeed have a bowl, but in fact it is not that much. At least he makes two or three times that of dried kelp.
He made it, and the old lady was still very satisfied. She was reluctant to let her sell a large kelp for twenty or thirty yuan, but she was willing to spend a penny on the table.
After the old lady took the lead in buying kelp, other people also came. Most of them asked for a penny of kelp, and some asked for two or three penny of kelp, so they wanted Jiang Zhen to grab more.
"Catch you more, I will lose?" Jiang Zhen smiled, not giving the other side kelp too much, but took two clams from the side as a gift: "Take this, you can give it to Children play."
Many people in this city have never seen clams before, so they are stunned: "What is this?"
"The mussels in the sea have edible meat, but relatively little." Jiang Zhen said. Before he was in Hexi Village, he always looked like a stranger would not enter, and in his nature he didn't like to solicit guests with a smile, but he was short of money.
Why didn't you work to do tasks before? Don’t you just sell things with enthusiasm? Actually nothing.
Of course, he had to do this, mainly because Wang Haisheng not only doesn't solicit guests, he doesn't even know how to count the money.
Jiang Zhen's stall was placed by the river, and their boat was parked in the river. At this time, Jiang Zhen was in charge of selling things, while Wang Haisheng continued to wash the kelp.
They have to soak for at least one day before selling kelp. Wang Haisheng is busy with tomorrow's business.
Jiang Zhen picked up a lot of clams, mainly used as a supplement, and sold some for a catty for three cents. When selling, Jiang Zhen would ask a few words: "This thing has sand in it, I want to eat it. It’s best to keep them for a few days, or else they will cook and scoop out the meat, wash it and cook it with pickles.” People here eat mussels and they often cook them with pickles.
At the end of the day, all three hundred catties of kelp were sold, and a lot of salted fish were sold, the clams were also sold half.
They sell salted fish at the same price as others, and they don't make much money, but kelp is very profitable. Although the price is cheap, the accumulation of less can add up.
It's just selling like this, so the two of them estimate that it will take many days to sell out so many kelp. It should be very busy during this time.
Last night Jiang Zhen was busy getting kelp and did not sleep well. Today, I really don’t want to be busy in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, he simply "employed" a twelve or thirteen year old with two palm-sized salted fish. Boy help.
The next day, Jiang Zhen continued to sell kelp.
People who bought a penny of kelp yesterday have basically eaten up the kelp, and some will buy a little more today. In addition, some new customers will come to buy it...
Soaking shredded kelp, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng sold it for ten days. In the last few days, their business was not very good, because other marine merchants in Fucheng also learned to sell kelp. Soaked and shredded and sold.
It was hard to think of a way to make money. It was only one time. Jiang Zhen felt it was a pity, but after counting the money he had, he was very satisfied.
He spent about twelve taels of silver when he bought the goods this trip, and he sold thirty taels of silver when he sold things these days.
In other words, he made a total of 18 taels on this trip, and almost made back the money he bought the ship. There was even a lot of marine cargo left on the ship.
Of course, making money is making money, and they are also exhausted...
Jiang Zhen discussed with Wang Haisheng and decided to take a day off before going back, but didn't know that at this time, Zhao Jin's family had been entangled.
