After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

There are seven larger towns in Quzhou, and there are fifty villages in these seven towns alone.

Shen Jinyao's plan was to take everyone and visit all the towns.

When taking a break on the road, everyone gathered together.

Shen Tingyao asked Shen Jinyao: "Tingyao, how are we going to sell these potatoes?"

This time they came out with a total of three carriages.

Shen Jinyao was driving a horse-drawn carriage, and in the carriage sat three girls: Tingyao, Leyao and Lanlan.

Shen Zhiyong was driving a horse-drawn carriage with three young men sitting in it: Zhixue, Zhixin, and Zhixin.

Shen Zhizheng was driving a carriage full of potatoes.

Shen Jinyao: "You all know how I sold potatoes in the military camp."

"Quzhou is vast and sparsely populated. The seven towns we are going to are arguably the wealthier ones in Quzhou."

"There must be a lot of rich people there, and where there are a lot of rich people, there are a lot of restaurants."

"There are at least a dozen of these places in a town. Let's go to the big restaurants first, then the smaller ones."

Shen Zhiye's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Sister, do you want us to run by ourselves?"

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have brought so many people out.

Shen Jinyao nodded: "Yes, a town should have at least two streets with a lot of traffic."

"When the time comes, you can bring your potatoes to negotiate. If the deal is successful, the money you earn will be yours."

As soon as Shen Jinyao finished speaking, Shen Tingyao said, "Then aren't you at a disadvantage?"

She rented the potato field, got the potato seeds, and hired someone to dig the potatoes.

Shen Jinyao smiled with relief. She didn't expect that Shen Tingyao was so considerate of her.

Unexpectedly, Shen Tingyao continued, "But if you're willing to suffer a loss, that's fine too."

After all, who wouldn’t want to get free money?

After Shen Tingyao finished speaking, everyone laughed.

The one who laughed the happiest was Lanlan.

Finally, Le Yao poked her and she shut up.

Shen Jinyao looked at them, and the expression on her face was somewhat like that of a cunning fox.

Shen Jinyao said, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. I will sell it to you at ten cents per pound."

The Shen family knew that it was sold to the military camp at twenty cents per pound.

Except for Shen Zhiyong, everyone else has already started to settle accounts with branches.

Shen Zhixue asked in confusion: "Then how do we sell it to the people in town?"

Shen Jinyao: "That depends on your ability, but there is only one requirement, the price of potatoes in a town must be the same."

"For example, the town we're about to visit is closer to Wuhe Village, so the price can be lower."

Shen Zhiye: "Why is that?"

Shen Jinyao: "Because if it's close, it definitely doesn't cost too much, such as transportation costs. But if it's far away, the travel costs will be higher."

Shen Zhiye understood, but Le Yao was a little confused.

"Why do we have to set the same price for the same place?"

Shen Jinyao: "Because we are a family, if you bid one tael of silver per catty, and others bid half the price, then the price will keep going down and no one will make any money."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Shen Zhiye thought for a moment and said, "Then can we also sell it to vendors in the market?"

Shen Jinyao: "Zhiye raised a good point, but the vendors probably don't buy much. For those who buy a lot, we can give some discounts."

After Shen Jinyao finished speaking, the remaining eight people in the Shen family started a heated discussion.

"I think what the elder sister said is wrong. The vendors should be the most willing to buy."

"Yeah, those people in the restaurant are probably not easy to talk to."

"That's not what I thought..."

Shen Jinyao raised her hand and signaled everyone to stop.

"Alright, alright. We'll be in town by evening. Go ahead and try whatever you want, but the price must be what I say."

"Whoever can close the deal will get the deposit, and remember to ask for the receipt."

So everyone had their own ideas, and the next day, Shen Jinyao gave each of them a cloth bag.

There were a dozen potatoes in each sack.

Let them try it out on their own terms.

Shen Jinyao told them that they would only stay in this town for two days.

When they set off, everyone except Shen Jinyao automatically divided into three groups and set off.

Shen Zhizheng, Shen Zhiyong and Shen Zhiye are in one group, Shen Tingyao and Shen Zhixue are in one group, and Shen Zhiye, Shen Leyao and Lanlan are in one group.

Originally, Tingyao also asked Zhiye to join them in the same group, after all, they were all from the second house.

But when Shen Zhiye saw Le Yao and Lan Lan in a group, he was worried that something might happen to the two girls, so he formed a group with them.

Shen Jinyao saw them grouped like this and did not intervene.

The price of potatoes, how to negotiate bulk deals, and the room for price reduction have all been told to everyone.

Even if there was a loss, it was only a few potatoes.

Shen Jinyao's original intention was to let these people exercise.

There was no expectation that they would be able to order many potatoes.

Her expectation was that they would screen out potential customers, and then Shen Jinyao would go to negotiate the bulk business.

After seeing everyone off, Shen Jinyao was not idle either.

She planned to visit the escort agencies here and some transportation routes.

As long as the merchants are determined, she can form a caravan when the time comes.

The people who hired these caravans were members of the Shen family who were able to sign business deals.

After Shen Jinyao took a look around, she checked out some of the more popular businesses in the town.

It's just a restaurant and a jewelry store.

To put it bluntly, it is a place for wealthy people to entertain themselves.

Shen Jinyao had an idea in her mind, so she returned to the inn.

But when she returned, no one had come back.

After waiting for an hour, it was already dark outside, but no one came back.

Shen Jinyao walked outside the inn, but still didn't see anyone.

Shen Jinyao stood there for a cup of tea before Shen Leyao and the other two slowly walked back.

Shen Jinyao: "What's wrong? You look like an eggplant hit by frost?"

Le Yao shook her head. "No one wants to buy our potatoes."

Originally Le Yao thought that only the three of them had not sold anything, but after everyone came back.

It turned out that no one sold the potatoes.

The few people who set out in the morning with great enthusiasm felt as if they had been poured with a bucket of cold water when they came back, and they all looked listless.

Originally, Shen Jinyao wanted to analyze the issue with them, but in the end, they all went to hold their own meetings to study it.

Shen Jinyao was turned away and shrugged her shoulders. She didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic.

So Shen Jinyao didn't interfere too much, she was happy and comfortable.

The next day, Shen Tingyao went out before dawn.

They all knew that this was their last day in town, so they all put in their best efforts and planned to sign some business deals.
