Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

With the remaining milk.

Zhao Yuanzhen planned to sell it to the wealthy gentlemen. He walked towards the official residences and the wealthy business district.

They went in through the back door and started knocking on the doors of people who looked impressive and wealthy to sell their products.

The output of the three cows is about 240 kilograms. The snack shop takes more than 80 kilograms every day, leaving about 160 kilograms.

80 kilograms were kept for the family's daily drinking and for consumption by the dessert shop.

There are still 80 kilograms that can be sold.

But the shop hasn’t opened yet today, so we can sell 160 kilograms.

Zhao Yuanzhen selected several mansions that were relatively far away.

"Who are you? What's the matter?"

"I came to your house to ask if you need milk?"

"You? You want to sell milk?"

After opening the door, Xiao Si looked at her suspiciously. This woman didn't look like she had milk!

"Yes, this young man can come over and take a look."

Then he led Xiao Si over to look at the milk.

"There really is one. Wait a minute. I'll go get our housekeeper."

Half an hour later, Xiao Si came over panting.

"Please wait a moment, our butler will be here soon."

Sure enough, after a few minutes, a middle-aged man came over.

"Are you a milk seller?"

"Yes, do you think it is necessary?"

"how much do you have?"

"There are about 10 pounds left. How much do you want?"

"Only 10 kilograms left? Then I'll take all of it. We'll need more in the future. How much do you sell this milk for?"

"How much do you think is appropriate?"

"Jishan, go get someone to get two clean buckets and a scale."

The shopkeeper did not answer immediately, but sent Xiao Si away.

After watching Xiao Si walk away, he came over and told Zhao Yuanzhen the price.

"Is 3 taels of silver per pound feasible?"

Normally, four taels of silver are sent to your house per pound. I'll try to lower the price to see if it works. If it does, it will be an extra pocket money every day.

"Okay, then we'll take your price. We can deliver 10 kilograms of milk every other day."

Well, although it only comes once every other day, it’s still 150 taels a month, which is not bad.

"Okay, then you can just call for help from this door. I'll give the instructions."

"Okay, then we'll come over and deliver it every day at about this time."

"okay."

After waiting for a while, Xiao Si brought a bucket and weighed 10 pounds of milk. The shopkeeper paid him 30 taels of silver and went back.

Zhao Yuanzhen bought a bunch of grapes, the kind used to make wine. One grape is one jin. Ten jin is 10 grapes.

But I was afraid that they would be worried, so I still weighed it.

Next time, just hit the grapes directly.

As I walked, I found that I was almost at the street where the Third Prince's Palace was.

After thinking about it, I decided to go and ask.

Send some to Zhao Yuanlan as well.

The servant saw her and greeted her warmly.

"Hello, Madam Zhang. Are you still looking for General Zhao today?"

"Yes, I'll find my brother. Please help me find a housekeeper."

"Okay, Madam Zhang, please wait a moment."

Then he ran in to look for someone.

After waiting for about 50 minutes, Zhao Yuanlan and the housekeeper came out.

"Hello, big brother. Hello, housekeeper Xiao."

"Hello, little sister."

"Hello, Mrs. Zhang."

"Butler Xiao, this is what happened. I caught four wild buffaloes in the mountains yesterday. Three of them are in the lactation period. They can produce a lot every day. We can't eat all of them ourselves, so I wanted to see if your family needs them."

"Milk? How much do you have? I want all of it."

"There is another one weighing about 40 kilograms."

"Then we'll take them all. If there are any extras every day, we'll take them all too."

There is a little bit of it, and the young masters and young ladies in the mansion like it very much. Even the prince's wife likes to eat milk cake, but milk is hard to get. Now it's good, there is a source of supply.

"Okay, then I'll deliver it to the mansion every day."

"Well, OK, then I'll charge 3 taels of silver per pound. Is that ok, Madam?"

"Three taels of silver, I sold them for three taels of silver before."

After all, what I am doing is a long-term business, so it can’t be too expensive.

"Okay, madam, please be happy. I'll ask the servant to get the scale and bucket."

"No need to take it. Just take this bucket away. I have a scale in my car."

Then I weighed a bucket and it was 46 kilograms.

Excluding the weight of the barrel, it definitely weighs 40 kilograms.

The shopkeeper took out 200 taels of silver.

"Let's settle the rest tomorrow. I don't have any loose change with me."

"Okay, I'll bring it over tomorrow."

"Okay, then General Zhao, you two are busy, I'll take my leave first."

"Okay, Butler Xiao, go and get busy."

"Brother, when will you start your rest?"

"Probably on the 23rd, I'll be there then."

"Okay, big brother, my dessert shop will open the day after tomorrow. Come over if you have time. I'll introduce you to a few delicious desserts."

"Okay, then I will definitely go the day after tomorrow."

"Well, I'll also bring you milk every day, remember to drink it."

"Okay, thank you, little sister."

"We are siblings, and you are still talking about this. I'm going to get busy now. See you the day after tomorrow, big brother."

"Okay, see you the day after tomorrow."

Continue to walk the streets and knock on the doors of the rich.

The remaining 110 kilograms were sold to 11 stores, all at the price of 3 taels of silver per kilogram.

Among them, 6 will deliver 10 kilograms tomorrow, and the rest will be delivered every other day.

For the remaining 6 stores, we will start delivering 10 kilograms of goods the day after tomorrow, also every other day.

80 kilograms of milk, 20 kilograms per day for the Third Prince's Mansion, and 12 other households. Six households per day. All arranged.

Although the pastry shop was cheaper than other shops, they were still doing business and had to make some money. She suspected that the milk sent to various mansions had been marked up in various ways. As for who took the money, it was none of her business.

Looking at the white fungus and other things in the car, I have to continue selling them.

Well, today is a salesman's day.

She found the largest shop selling rare ingredients and prepared to start selling. She took down the white fungus and dates, held them in her hands, and let the carriage go.

"Ma'am, please come in. We have a full range of goods here."

The waiter was welcoming us at the door.

The shopkeeper saw her enter the store and began to serve her.

"What does my lady need?"

“Are there any red dates?”

"Yes, here are some of the red dates in our store. They are priced differently according to their size. Which one do you want?"

There are about 5 kinds of dates in the store, including 3 red dates and two black dates, all divided according to size.

"How much is this?"

Zhao Yuanzhen pointed at the largest red date and asked. Although it was the largest, it was still half the size of Zhao Yuanzhen's Xinjiang dates.

"This one is six coins per ounce of silver."

6 coins per tael? 6 taels of silver per pound.

"Are there any Tremella fuciformis?"

"We have Tremella fuciformis. Look here. Our Tremella fuciformis is of the best quality."

Then he took out two small boxes, one was slightly larger in shape, and the other was slightly smaller.

After all, it is wild, and is very different from the artificially cultivated ones.

"How do you sell this larger one?"

"A box of this kind costs 38 taels of silver."

"By the box?"

"Yes, ma'am, Tremella fuciformis is always sold by the box."

The shopkeeper explained.

Although the original owner was the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, she had never bought Tremella fuciformis and did not know that it was sold by the box.

Zhao Yuanzhen took a look and found that the box was only a little over 4 taels, probably less than half a catty. The selling price was 38 taels.

If converted into kilograms, it would be about 95 taels per kilogram.

It’s much more expensive than I thought.

"How many silver ears do you have left?"

"There are 7 boxes left. Do you want them all, Madam?"

There is basically no Tremella fuciformis in winter, so it is extremely scarce during the Chinese New Year.

"So do you collect silver ears?"

"We accept it, regardless of quality or appearance, as long as it is in stock, we will accept it."

"Can you decide the price?"

"Don't worry, Madam. I have been the shopkeeper for more than 20 years, so I can still make the decision."

"Okay, then take a look at how much a box of this quality costs?"

Zhao Yuanzhen took out a small cloth bag from her handy cloth bag, placed it on the counter and opened it.

It was three times larger than the box the shopkeeper took out.

"This! This Tremella is of excellent quality, and the crown is very large. I wonder if Madam has any more? How many are there? We in the Jade House can eat them all."

The shopkeeper was extremely excited, he had already seen the approving look from his boss and the money for his performance.

"There are some more, but I don't know how the shopkeeper will pay for it."

"According to the size of your crown and this box, I can give you 50 taels of silver. Is that okay with you?"

That's 125 per jin. OK. After all, I bought it for 200 wen per jin.

"Look, this box of ours is 4 taels. I'll charge you 125 per jin. Is that okay?"

"Okay, sure. I'll get it for you later. Take a look at this one. Do you want it?"

He took out a large red date as big as a baby's fist and showed it to the shopkeeper.

"This is the first time I have seen such a big red date. Where did you get it?"

"This was purchased outside the Great Wall. You know how difficult it is to get it now given the current situation."

"Indeed, Madam is a capable person. How many dates do you have?"

"It depends on your price."

"I'll give you 8 taels of silver per pound. It's mainly for business, so we have to make some money. Is that okay with you?"

"9 taels!"

The shopkeeper thought about it and realized that dates of this size were a scarce commodity. If they were not sold on the counter, they could be sent to various mansions. The starting price would be 15 taels, so 9 taels would be a good profit.

"Okay, then 9 taels, I wonder how much jin Madam weighs?"

"There are 20 kilograms of jujube and 5 kilograms of white fungus."

The Tremella fuciformis is picked and dried without being weighed. A 5-jin pile is a big one. After all, it is a rare and precious commodity, so you cannot take out too much at one time.

Even so, the shopkeeper was still surprised by the number.

Ordinary ear cleaners can’t find even a pound of it in the entire summer, so this woman is really lucky.

Zhao Yuanzhen opened the bag in her hand, took out the dates and white fungus, and handed them to the shopkeeper for inspection.

The shopkeeper discovered that the white fungus are basically of this size, with large crowns, plump flesh, and pure white color without impurities.

I couldn't help but wonder where I found this.

After checking and weighing, it turned out that there were indeed 20 kilograms of dates and 5 kilograms of white fungus.

After taking the silver, Zhao Yuanzhen said goodbye and left.

The shopkeeper winked at the servant, who immediately followed.
