Dressed as a family of cannon fodder, the villain brother is busy opening up wasteland
Chapter 479 Is it too expensive?
Old Man Wen was confused.
"Not two taels? What about two hundred coins?" Old Man Wen frowned slightly. Isn't this price too cheap? It has been transported all the way from Yunwu Town to the capital and sold for such a small amount. It is better to sell it in Yunwu Town. There is no shipping cost yet.
Wen Yao stretched out his hand and opened and closed his thumb and index finger: "Grandpa, the situation is open."
Luo Shi looked at Old Man Wen's brows that were about to kill a fly, reached out and poked Wen Yao's head, and said: "Okay, don't tease your father. Your father is the most precious. His cans, if they really only sell for two hundred Wen, it is better to sell them in my hometown, why bother to transport them to the capital and go through a lot of trouble."
Wen Yao immediately crawled along the pole and rubbed Luo Shi's shoulder: "Nai, you are so amazing, and you know how much trouble you put into it."
Luo Shi was speechless and helpless, but he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth: "You are the only one with a sharp tongue."
Wen Yao chuckled, not teasing Old Man Wen anymore. Of course she knew that her grandfather valued these cans. After all, it was related to how much money he would earn in the future.
"Ahem, sir, the princess said that this batch of cans can be sold for at least twenty taels of silver per can. This price is just a preliminary price. How much it can be sold depends on the reception banquet at Prince Fu's Mansion for a few days. Princess How to deceive... No, how to introduce the benefits of our canned food to the wives of those dignitaries."
Wen Yao finished speaking, always paying attention to Old Man Wen's reaction, for fear that her grandfather might accidentally arouse her.
Old Man Wen was indeed shocked, but he was not as frightened as before. After all, his son could be made an earl, so there was nothing he couldn't accept.
Not to mention Old Man Wen, even Luo Shi was shocked.
"So many?" Luo Che was a little worried: "Those cans are grown in my own orchard, with some sugar water added. They are so expensive. Wouldn't it be bad if others discovered them?"
There are officials everywhere in the capital, no one they can afford to offend.
Luo Shi was worried that if someone found out that something so easy to make was not worth the price, Princess Fu's family would definitely not dare to cause trouble, but that was not necessarily the case for ordinary people like them.
Old Man Wen also came to his senses at this time and nodded: "Yao Yao, we can't make dirty money."
Anyway, if he was asked to buy a can for twenty taels, he wouldn't buy it. It's just fruit soaked in sugar water.
Wen Yao looked at her grandparents. They were upright throughout their lives and never took advantage of others. If it were anyone else, they would only think that twenty taels were sold for too little.
But what grandma doesn't know is that this is the capital city, and the comparisons between dignitaries, ranging from power to what they ate on the table today, may become the things they compare with each other.
Is this canned cherry valuable? The cost alone is worthless. When the season comes, the cherries are everywhere in the mountains and plains. There are so many that no one wants them even if they fall on the ground. The production cost is nothing more than the sugar and time used, and the jars used to seal them are still there. There is manpower.
But you want to say that it is not worth it. It is so rare to have cherries in this season. According to the ideas of these dignitaries in the capital, the rarer things can show their status and face, so Wen Yao is sure that, After a banquet, these cans will definitely be sold out.
Twenty taels, I'm afraid Princess Fu was being conservative.
"Grandpa, things are rare and expensive. What's more, our cherries are bigger than the cherries outside. It's not in season now, so they are naturally more precious. This price is actually nothing in the capital. You haven't seen it before. That small box of snacks can be sold for hundreds of taels." Wen Yao said, quietly winking at Qiu Rongrong.
If anyone in the Wen family has seen the most and lived the most extravagantly, it must be Qiu Rongrong.
Qiu Rongrong received Wen Yao's signal and then said: "Grandpa, grandma, don't look at twenty taels per can, it sounds like a lot, but think about it, from the time our cherries are planted to the time they mature, it was all me. How much effort did I put into raising it? Without all the care I put into it, would this cherry have grown so big, so red, and so sweet?
No way.
Also, isn’t the labor force of our large family just money? Time is money, so you have to pay for it in real time.
Besides, this can seems to be easy to make, but how long should it be cooked during cooking, how much sugar should be put in the sugar water, and how to seal it after it is ready to keep it from spoiling. These are all technologies and costs. It all counts, so twenty taels per can is not expensive. "
Not to mention Luo Shi and Old Man Wen, Xie Anyi and Datou were all stunned. Xie Anyi looked at his mother with admiration. His mother's mouth was so good at deceiving him. No wonder Datou said that if they really do business , he is definitely not as good as his mother.
Qiu Rongrong saw that the expression on the two elders' faces relaxed, and winked at Wen Yao: "It's a scam."
Wen Yao secretly gave her a thumbs up.
Luo Shi and Old Man Wen looked at each other, and then asked: "Twenty taels, can't it be more expensive?" Mainly because it was too much, and they felt uneasy holding it.
Wen Yao and Qiu Rongrong looked at each other. This is really not certain because there are only so many things.
Princess Fu was sociable and had a lot of weird things. Before roast duck restaurants and milk tea shops appeared in the capital, she was already the object of imitation by the ladies in the capital.
Later, there were roast duck restaurants and milk tea shops. Regardless of the size of the banquet held by Princess Fu, as long as something weird appeared, it would inevitably cause others to imitate.
This time, I'm afraid if it's a banquet at Prince Fu's Mansion and Princess Fu comes up with some gimmicks for this can, the noble ladies in Beijing will definitely take this as a guide and start imitating it. Then they won't hesitate to spend a lot of money for the sake of their own face. It also needs to be obtained.
So the price is really not certain.
But they didn't say this, but coaxed the two elders to have a good rest first.
Aunt Shi had already tidied up a special yard for Old Man Wen and Luo Shi, and arranged the maids and women who would serve them.
Wen Yao sent the old lady back to her house. Luo Shi felt uneasy all the way, so she pulled Wen Yao and said:
"Yao Yao, I know you want to make money, but we have to earn this money fairly. I understand what Rongrong said. Since the price was set by Princess Fu, then we must listen to the princess, but we can't save it. In spite of the deception, we will earn the money we should earn, and we won’t care about the money we shouldn’t earn.
Moreover, Princess Fu is a princess, and others would not dare to do anything to her even if they are upset. But your father just became the earl, and he has no foundation. Our family is not a famous family, so we can't help. Just please don't hold your father back. What if people are interested in your father because of our canned food? "
