Chapter 10 Best Sales
"Little brother, you look like you're in a bad mood?"
Li Shifu walked into the small courtyard in a familiar manner and said with a smile.
"Ha, Lao Li, Lao Sun, you came just in time, I was worried that I couldn't find you!"
After seeing the person coming, Mu Jiuge jumped up excitedly.
"You want to find us?"
Everyone was somewhat confused.
"Yes, I happen to have a good project that can make you rich. Are you interested?"
If a big bastard comes to your door, won’t the potatoes be sold?
"tell me the story?"
Hearing that he could make a fortune, Li Er immediately became interested. Who made Datang poor now?
"I grow something in the field, which can produce more than ten shi per mu. It can be used as a staple food or as a vegetable. Are you interested?"
The ignorant people here don't understand the mystery behind this, so they don't believe that the businessmen can't see the profits in it.
"What?"
"A dozen stones?"
"Aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue?"
The three people who didn't care much at first exclaimed at the same time after hearing such an astonishing output.
However, more people still don’t believe it.
"I know you don't believe it, let's go, I'll show you!"
Without any explanation, he took the initiative to pick up Lao Li and walked towards the backyard.
"Boy, are you sure you're not joking?"
Arriving at a land full of weeds, Cheng Yaojin directly taunted.
"This crop is different from ordinary things. Its fruits grow underground!"
Not bothering to argue with him, Mu Jiuge started digging directly.
In just a moment, round potatoes appeared in front of the three of them!
The three of them were really shocked.
There are such strange species in this world? The fruits grow underground?
Afraid that this boy was playing tricks in advance, Cheng Yaojin took the initiative to enter the field and found several places to dig, and each round potato was dug out of the ground!
"Master, he is right. This kind of fruit does grow underground, and the yield is amazing!"
Cheng Yaojin held the huge potato, looked at it carefully, put it under his nose and smelled it, and finally weighed it before he had an estimate in his mind.
"Are you sure this thing is edible?"
Changsun Wuji frowned and asked.
No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think it tasted delicious.
Especially since it grows underground, it will definitely smell like earth!
"Bring the potatoes you dug out, and I'll show you my skills! Pair potatoes with wine, and the more you eat, the better!"
At this time, Mu Jiuge is definitely the kind of person who is not afraid of getting dirty or tired.
As long as he can sell potatoes, he will be victorious.
"So, fine wine has been brewed?"
The allure of the wine was undoubtedly huge, and the three of them instantly forgot about the potatoes.
"What are you thinking about? It takes a lot of time to ferment those grains, and you have to wait for a while to make wine."
"These are all my stocks. On weekdays, I can't bear to drink them myself. It's really a bargain for you!"
The fish had begun to take the bait, and Mu Jiuge was still in a good mood, so he told the truth without thinking.
The three of them looked at each other, not looking very good.
Because they clearly remembered that last time this stupid boy said he was out of wine, why did he suddenly appear in stock this time?
In just a moment, Mu Jiuge walked out with exquisite side dishes!
There is no doubt that the raw materials are all potatoes, but the cooking methods are different, so the texture and taste are naturally different!
It made several people say it was so enjoyable.
"Little brother, how many potatoes have you planted in total?"
Li Er's eyes kept flashing with brilliance.
Such a yield, if planted on a large area, would undoubtedly be a timely help for the entire Tang Dynasty.
"Just what you saw just now! I am just an ordinary villager, how much land can I have?"
Mu Jiuge replied calmly.
"Then do you still have these potato seeds in your hand?"
Li Er quickly asked again.
"The potatoes are all in the field, where are the seeds?"
"What? The seeds are gone?"
The three of them exchanged glances, feeling regretful.
Nowadays, Hedong Road is in drought and the imperial court is not rich. What they lack most is high-yield food!
I was planning to purchase some seeds to popularize them, but I didn’t expect that they were all gone?
"Why are you so surprised? The original seeds are gone, but the seeds of the potato are the potato itself. Just cut the potato into pieces and bury it in the ground and it will survive!"
Seeing the distressed expressions on each of their faces, Mu Jiuge smiled with a relaxed expression.
"call……"
After hearing these words, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little brother, let's discuss it. Next time we talk, can we finish it in one breath?"
Cheng Yaojin twisted his eyebrows and said helplessly.
"It's not that I didn't finish speaking, it's that you interrupted me before I finished speaking!"
Mu Jiuge still looked eloquent.
"Okay, little brother, five thousand guan, I want all the potatoes in your field, how about that?"
Li Shifeng readily extended his hand and planned to buy all the potatoes in his hand.
Planting these potatoes on a large scale will definitely change the current situation of food shortage in Datang!
"Deal! Sign up!"
Happiness came so suddenly. After Mu Jiuge snapped his fingers, he took out the pen and paper and placed it in front of Lao Li.
Regarding the rise and fall of the imperial court, Li Er did not hesitate at all and directly signed "Li Erlang".
"readily!"
After Mu Jiuge took over the agreement, he pouted and blew the ink on it gently.
After the ink dried, he carefully folded the agreement and put it into his arms.
Seeing his philistine appearance, Li Er shook his head helplessly, and then thought of his main purpose of coming here this time.
"Little brother, your movable type printing technology is indeed exquisite, but now the price of paper raw materials has increased, and the profit from printing is very small, which makes me feel like I have been cheated."
After casually picking up the shredded potatoes and putting them into his mouth, Li Er said with a sad expression.
"To solve this problem, it is difficult to say it is easy, but it is also difficult to say it is simple."
Mu Jiuge had long expected such a thing to happen.
"If you have any good ideas, little brother, I hope you can give them some advice."
The problem has troubled Li Er for a long time, and there is no solution until now.
Therefore, he still had some doubts about this boy's words.
"If you want to solve this problem, the essential factor is whether the backers behind you are strong enough?"
This is a question of trust, whether the other party can tell you the true trump card.
"Little brother, to be honest, I don't know the purpose of your asking."
"But I can tell you that we are distant relatives of Zhao Guogong's eldest son, Sun Wuji."
Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji, who was standing aside, and said with his head held high.
"Ha, that's easy to handle. If the old bastard is willing to help, all your troubles will be solved."
Mu Jiuge's eyes brightened slightly. He really didn't expect that the backgrounds of these big enemies were so powerful.
"how do I say this?"
Hearing the word "old bastard", Li Er's face showed a faint smile.
But I was even more curious in my heart, how could he, the emperor, solve the problems that he couldn't deal with easily in the hands of the auxiliary machine?
"The reason why printing cannot see profits now is because paper is expensive."
"I said the problem is easy to solve because I know how to make paper."
He had deep concerns before and did not dare to expose his papermaking skills for fear of causing death.
