The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying said, "Thank you, Auntie. It was Uncle Zhang's consideration for everyone that made me choose Chun Fu Tang in the first place! My hesitation was not because I didn't want to tell others about my method, but because the cost was too high!"

"Cost?" Zhang Yue'er also became interested at this time and interrupted.

"Yes, Sister Yue'er. Apart from anything else, if you want to preserve it for a long time, you have to use this kind of pottery jar, and this jar costs ten coins. Even if it can be cheaper if you buy in large quantities, how much cheaper can it be? So it is not suitable for ordinary people to buy.

It's OK for people with better financial conditions to buy a few cans to try out during festivals, but as a little girl with only a five-year-old brother, how much can I do?"

"Tieying," Shopkeeper Zhang said, "If you trust me, how about handing this business over to me?"

"Ah?" Bai Tieying continued to play dumb, as if he had not expected this method.

"If it were me, I wouldn't be too embarrassed to ask you this, but it's different if it's General Zhao. The road you helped me to open last time has been completed in the past half month. We'll talk about the mountain product transaction later, let's just talk about the canned food business.

Not to mention that he is one of the best in our Shang'an County, Mr. Zhao is also a top figure in Yaojing, and his family has many descendants and high expenses, otherwise this mountain product business would not be so smooth. In addition to the fact that our goods are good quality and cheap, they also have some tricks to operate this way. Do you understand this?"

"I understand, Uncle Zhang. There is no such thing as love without reason in this world!"

"There is no such thing in the world... Oh! Tieying said it well, Yue'er, you should remember it too." Aunt Pan muttered.

"But Uncle Zhang, you also said that his family has many descendants. We may not be the ones to run this business in the future!" Bai Tieying asked.

"What you said does make sense. If we merchants are not valued, it is very likely that we will be drawing water with a bamboo basket. But isn't there a saying? If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it more grass.

They eat meat, we drink soup, it has been like this since ancient times, otherwise why would so many people want to stand out? But if we don’t even try, won’t we have no chance to drink soup and eat grass? "

"Well... what Uncle Zhang said makes sense. It's my niece who is short-sighted. So how does Uncle Zhang plan to cooperate with General Zhao?"

"I plan to give him 40% of the shares. I will be responsible for production, sales will take 20%, and you will be responsible for formulating the recipe and take 40%."

"Since it's a dry share, I have a better candidate here."

"Oh? Tell me."

Bai Tieying didn't say anything. He made a "nine" gesture with his right hand, and then silently said "Prince".

Shopkeeper Zhang was so frightened that he stood up from the stool again. Aunt Pan and Zhang Yue'er hadn't reacted yet, but they knew he must be an important figure.

"Tie, Tieying..." Shopkeeper Zhang's throat was a little dry, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I'm fifty percent sure."

"You, you are..." Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to ask Bai Tieying how he knew that person, but he couldn't ask because he felt that Bai Tieying was not a kid who would talk nonsense, but if not, then shouldn't he know these things.

"Haha, Uncle Zhang, please sit down. It's not a big deal. Just take it easy. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought that this could still be sold. I have some different opinions on the profit sharing you just mentioned. Let me tell you, and see if it works.

That person will take 40%, General Zhao and you and I will each take 20%. With that person here, I think this business cannot be touched by ordinary people, even Mr. Zhao will have to think about it.

In addition, what uncle said just now also reminded me that if it is only sold to ordinary people, this business will only attract envy, but what if...it becomes military rations?"

"Hiss..." Shopkeeper Zhang stood up again when he heard it. Aunt Pan quickly pulled him to sit down, "What's wrong with you today? You are in front of the children! Can you be more calm?"

"This, this I dare not even think about!" Shopkeeper Zhang said to himself.

"Since canned fruits and vegetables, rice, grains and meat can be made and preserved for a long time, don't the army need these? If this is added, General Zhao should be safe, and this is exactly the 50% certainty I mentioned." After Bai Tieying finished speaking, he looked at Shopkeeper Zhang, as if asking him to make a decision.

"You are such a smart kid!" Shopkeeper Zhang exclaimed. He was already very surprised that Bai Tieying met General Zhao last time. Later, he learned from General Li that she had only met General Zhao once and "given" him the ginseng and ganoderma she had picked. It was just this little contact that made her dare to act as a matchmaker.

And I just gave her some ideas, but she actually dared to think about military rations! The mountain product business doesn't count. No army can only eat the military rations issued by the court. Fruits, vegetables and meat are all purchased locally, especially for the personal guard camp. General Zhao pays for it himself, so of course he will buy whichever one is cheaper and of better quality. No one will go against his own wallet.

But the military rations were different. It was impossible for the imperial guards to carry a can of canned Yamanashi in the middle of winter and let the ordinary soldiers look after it, right? If everyone had a can... this would be a huge amount. Even General Zhao couldn't make the decision, and Lord Zhao didn't dare to intervene!

Only the person Bai Tieying mentioned is qualified to do this. If he can really do it, Shang'an County, no, the North Prefecture may be able to stand up! Then Chunfu Hall may really be able to continue for another hundred years!

"Ah..." Shopkeeper Zhang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of "another hundred years".

"Uncle Zhang, have you thought of something difficult?" Bai Tieying couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw that Shopkeeper Zhang's eyes, which had been getting more and more excited, suddenly became dull.

Shopkeeper Zhang was indeed in a difficult situation, but he couldn't tell a little girl like Bai Tieying, so he quickly said that his sigh had nothing to do with the matter, but Aunt Pan standing by saw through it.

"Tie Ying, don't worry. What your uncle Zhang is thinking has nothing to do with this matter. You are not an outsider, so I will tell you directly. This matter is my fault. It is my useless body that I failed to leave a descendant for the Zhang family.

It’s not that your Uncle Zhang dislikes Yue’er, you saw it too, Yue’er told her father yesterday that she wanted to eat Sushan, and he came back to buy her in this hot weather. But it’s too hard for a woman to run a shop! It’s ten or a hundred times harder than for a man, and your Uncle Zhang doesn’t want her to suffer that hardship. But he won’t be willing if Chunfutang, a century-old shop, is not passed down to the next generation. "Aunt Pan explained to Bai Tieying.
