Chapter 044: Expensive Hot Sauce
After the waiter brought the table with wine and food, Liu An stood up with the wine flask and poured a glass of wine for Zhen Yi.
"Zhenjun, please!"
"Liu Langjun please!"
Liu An sat back at the desk, filled a glass for himself, raised his glass to Zhen Yi, and drank it all in one gulp.
After chatting for a while, Zhen Yi asked first: "I heard that Liu Langjun has some strange objects, where are they?"
"Zhen Jun, wait a moment." After Liu An finished speaking, he winked at Liu Bei.
Liu Bei called Wei Chuan and Guo Hai to Liu An's room and brought six wooden boxes over.
Liu An took a wooden box and opened it. Inside was a clay pot containing Laoganma hot sauce.
"This clay pot contains the best sauce. Whether it is added to the dish to season or eaten directly in the mouth, the taste is excellent."
Liu An handed the wooden box to Liu Bei. Liu Bei understood and walked up to Zhen Yi with the wooden box and asked him to check it.
Zhen Yi took out a clay pot from the wooden box, opened the lid, and immediately a spicy smell came out of the clay pot.
Liu Bei put down the wooden box and took out a clean chopstick and handed it to Zhen Yi.
Zhen Yi couldn't wait to put her chopsticks into the jar, dipped a little sauce into her mouth.
As soon as he entered the mouth, an incredible expression appeared on Zhen Yi's face.
As one of the world's leading businessmen, Zhen Yi has never eaten spicy food.
But I have never tasted something so spicy and fragrant.
After tasting a little bit of the spicy sauce, Zhen Yi still wanted to taste it some more. He felt that the sauce in the jar was attracting his tongue like magic.
However, the reserve of a nobleman made Zhen Yisheng stop his desire to touch his chopsticks again.
"This sauce is indeed the best. I wonder how many of this kind of sauce your husband has?"
Liu An asked Liu Bei and others to open all four wooden boxes and said: "These are the only ones at the moment."
Zhen Yi was extremely happy when she saw that there were so many such strange sauces. According to Liu An, there will be more in the future.
"I wonder how much the gentleman wants to bid?"
In Liu An's previous life, he read in an online novel that someone said that spices were more expensive than gold during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The price of Lao Gan Ma was determined early based on the price of gold.
After extracting Lao Gan Ma, Liu An asked the boy for a weighing tool, and specifically weighed the bottle of Lao Gan Ma and the weight of the empty bottle. He found that the Lao Gan Ma given by the system was a 250g bottle.
After dividing a bottle into two parts, each clay pot can hold about 125g, and 1 small catty of gold is 250g, which is worth 10,000 yuan.
Even so, Liu An did not make a direct offer, but asked Zhen Yi: "I wonder, Mr. Zhen...how much do you want to bid?"
"How about five thousand yuan a jar...?" Zhen Yi tentatively gave the price.
The ideal price was given as soon as they came up. Liu An was secretly happy, but her face remained calm. She slowly stretched out a finger and said:
"Ten thousand dollars is enough."
Zhen Yi was shocked. She didn't expect Liu An, who looked young, to demand such a high price.
He was silent for a moment, raised his glass and gestured to Liu An, and then he drank with Liu An and then said:
"I heard that Liu Langjun still has twenty pigs that he wants to sell?"
"Exactly." Liu An nodded.
"My Zhen family bought everything at yesterday's price. I wonder if Liu Langjun can... lower the price of this sauce?"
Yesterday, we harvested fifteen heads. Zhen Yi didn't want to take any more, but if they could be used as bargaining chips, it wouldn't hurt to take them.
But the price could not be raised anymore, even though he heard from Zhen Gui that these twenty heads were bigger than those yesterday.
"Oh?" Liu An pretended to be surprised and sighed: "Zhen Jun's kindness, how can An not obey it? So, nine thousand jars, I wonder what Zhen Jun's intention is?"
Liu An also knew that it was still good to charge yesterday's price. An extra twenty kilograms of meat would only cost one or two hundred dollars, which was better than having to go through all the trouble of transporting it to sell elsewhere.
"Nine thousand...Oh!" Zhen Yi pretended to be sorry, sighed and said nothing.
The two sides were silent for a moment, and then Liu An said:
"I am gathering the victims in Zhuo County and need a lot of food. I wonder if Mr. Zhen has a food store in Zhuo County?"
When Zhen Yi heard this, she immediately became more energetic, "There is no such thing in Zhuo County, but there is one in Fangcheng, the neighboring county."
"In that case, would Mr. Zhen be willing to sell the grain to me?"
"It's all right. Just wait for me to write a letter in my hand and hand it over to the shopkeeper of Zhen's grain shop in Fangcheng." At this point, Zhen Yi leaned forward and lowered his voice and said to Liu An: "I will pay you one hundred and eighty yuan."
If you sell rice to your husband for one stone, your husband must not spread the word about it."
Liu An stood up, thanked Zhen Yi, and said, "I will never tell anyone else! Zhen Jun is so kind and sincere to An, and An Zi should repay him with sincerity. These sauces will be traded at the price Zhen Jun said.
, what do you think, Mr. Zhen?"
Liu An will only need more and more food. In the beginning, Zhen Yi will not care about the impact of one hundred and eighty yuan of rice, but when Liu An buys ten thousand or even hundreds of thousands of rice in the future, Zhen Yi will
Understand how much money you have lost.
Liu An complied with Zhen Yi's request at this time, and when Zhen Yi wanted to increase the price of rice in the future, he would think of what happened today.
Due to both emotions and reasons, it is not appropriate for him to raise the price of rice. Forcibly raising the price will only make the two of them quarrel. Liu An has set a soft nail for Zhen Yi.
"This..." Zhen Yi just didn't expect Liu An to ask for such a high price at such a young age, but this time she didn't expect Liu An to be so generous and directly lowered the price from 9,000 to 5,000!
His original quote of five thousand was actually not the final price he had in mind. He just lowered the price a bit to facilitate a counteroffer.
I didn’t expect Liu An to be so generous and directly gave me a quote!
In Zhen Yi's heart, she couldn't help but redefine Liu An who was so courageous at such a young age.
This boy may be able to achieve great things...
Thinking of this, Zhen Yi stood up and helped Liu Ande up and said: "Liu Langjun is really a righteous man! How old am I, Liu Langjun? I am my brother, and Langjun is my younger brother. I wonder what Liu Langjun would like?"
"Dare you disobey me?" Liu An once again bowed his hands and said, "Brother, please bow to me!"
"Haha! Dear brother, please get up quickly, please get up quickly!"
Zhen Yi laughed, her tone instantly becoming more affectionate.
The two sat down again. Zhen Yi turned to look at the other two boxes brought by Liu An and asked:
"May I ask my dear brother, what kind of strange thing is in that box?"
Liu An smiled and did not answer. He went over to get the wooden box and walked to Zhen Yi's desk to unfold it for him.
With the faint light of the oil lamp, several rays of light were instantly reflected in the unfolded wooden box.
Seeing this, Zhen Yi happily picked up a glass bottle to look at it.
He looked at the light for a while, then held it in front of his eyes to look at Liu An behind him through the glass bottle, and then looked through the bottom of the bottle at the desk below. Then he took it in his hand and rubbed the smooth body of the bottle, looking like he couldn't put it down.
appearance.
After playing with it for a while, Zhen Yi looked up at Liu An, who was standing next to him, and asked expectantly: "Brother, do you want to part with this thing?"
"If brother likes it, I will give one to him as a gift." Liu An said with a smile.
"My dear brother, I am very happy with this thing. I will give you the price, but I will take it all for you!"
"Brothers like you and I, if my brother likes it so much, how dare he put up a price? If he likes it, just take it." Liu Changfang declined in a pretentious manner.
If he wants to make friends with Zhen Yi, he must have a good attitude.
Of course, Liu An was just pretending. If Zhen Yi really took them all, Liu An would not agree.
The Zhen family is the richest in the world, and it doesn't take money to make friends with them.
Zhen Yi was not short of money, so how could he accept such a generous gift from someone when they first met? Seeing that Liu An was reluctant to offer a price, he said:
"As an elder brother, how can I easily take away such a precious thing from a worthy brother? How about taking all the things from my worthy brother at the low price of 20,000 yuan to express my brother's love for you?"
Twenty thousand dollars is really not expensive. Until the 19th century, China did not have advanced glass production technology.
Although colored glaze was produced in the Qing Dynasty, it was not possible to mass-produce it.
At that time, colored glaze even became a symbol of class division. Anyone who had a piece of colored glaze at home could show it off for a lifetime.
This is just colored glaze, not glass.
