But even so, there are still many people who are willing to join in and buy, and some businessmen are even willing to deliver goods to the palace without spending any money!
They are willing to do this, on the one hand, they want to use it as a gimmick, so that they can promote their own products more. On the other hand, the reputation they get and buy is also a talisman for themselves!
In fact, the greed of the eunuchs in the palace is no different from those of high-ranking families, but there is a bottom line, that is, the supply of the palace must be guaranteed! So although they are also willing to swallow up merchants to enrich their own pockets, if this is the case
, they have to take part in the management, which is simply impossible for the eunuchs who have been in the palace for many years!
But if their family members are allowed to manage the business outside the palace, God knows who will get this family property? So they will leave some bottom line for the merchants who participate and buy, but they will definitely have to accept the endless blackmail from the eunuchs!
This does not matter to those merchants with a backend. The knowledgeable eunuchs will take away part of the profits in an appropriate manner. But for merchants without a backend, these eunuchs are like vampires who knock bones and suck marrow! Therefore, there are very few merchants with small doors and small households.
Participate in the war and purchase, because that means long-term and continuous blackmail, and even becoming a worker under the eunuch!
And once the eunuchs get the secret recipe and production process, they will definitely kill them all without hesitation and then sell the secret recipe to other big merchants! So for small merchants, buying and selling is a way of no return! But now for Zhang Shunping,
Hemai is a temporary way to temporarily protect his wealth! He can reach an agreement with other forces during this period, and then he can get rid of this bottomless pit of Hemai!
After listening to Liu Haojia's words, Zhang Shunping said: "My nephew is not aware of something, and he has thought about participating in a joint purchase, but now he has nothing on hand that can impress the palace!"
Father Liu also understood what Liu Haojia meant at this time, and immediately said: "Then didn't you go to the market to look for something that might be useful?"
Zhang Shunping shook his head and said: "To be honest, brother, I have been shopping all over the market in the past few days, and even sent people to ask around, but there is still nothing that can catch the eye of the palace, so I gave up this idea and concentrated on waiting.
Follow the news from Nanjing."
Hearing what Zhang Shunping said, Father Liu felt reassured! He sat up straight and pointed at the snacks on the table and said, "You have already tasted these snacks, what do you think?"
Zhang Shunping didn't react at all at this time, but he still complimented and said: "These snacks are really good and very delicious! I think the snacks in the palace are only of this level!"
Father Liu smiled and said, "You didn't taste anything else from this snack?"
Zhang Shunping couldn't adapt to this sudden change of topic, and he was stunned! He looked at the snacks on the table, and then thought about the taste he had just tasted, there was nothing special about it!
Because Zhang Shunping came from a wealthy family, many snacks at home were made with honey. In terms of sweetness, it was almost as sweet as invert syrup, so he really couldn't think of anything.
Seeing that Zhang Shunping was stunned, Liu Haojia simply made it clear and said: "Uncle Zhang, these snacks are made with a new type of sugar, so they taste very sweet! I think this new type of sugar is enough to participate and buy! At least from now on
In terms of price, it is definitely much cheaper than honey, but the taste is not bad at all!"
After speaking, Liu Haojia turned around and took out two fine porcelain jars and placed them on the table for Zhang Shunping to open. Father Liu thoughtfully handed over a spoon.
Zhang Shunping was completely stunned at this time! He had never expected that he would encounter such a thing when he came to pay rent, so he subconsciously opened the first fine porcelain jar, and a strong sweet fragrance instantly rushed over.
Nose! It smells a lot like honey, but there are some differences!
He quickly calmed down and took a closer look, and saw that the jar contained a dark brown viscous liquid. Although he couldn't tell what it was made of, the smell was absolutely tempting! But this was not enough to surprise Zhang Shuixi.
Because another similar liquid is honey, and many wealthy families reserve a large amount of honey all year round. Come to think of it, this thing in front of you is almost the same as honey!
By the way, when I was a kid, there were often unscrupulous vendors, especially those who carried burdens and sold honey along the streets. They often used inverted syrup made from white sugar to pass it off as honey and make huge profits! At that time, people had little knowledge and how many people were deceived.
!
After looking at this jar, Zhang Shunping was a little disappointed! He originally thought there would be a surprise, but it turned out to be just honey! I thought this honey should be a little special, but the palace would definitely not care!
So he calmed down and opened the second jar. This time he was really surprised! He saw that the jar was full of objects that were as fine as snowflakes and as white as cotton. It smelled better than the ones on the market.
The white sugar is much sweeter! So he couldn't help blurting out: "What is this? Is it sugar at this time? It is much more delicate than white sugar!"
Liu Haojia said: "Yes, this is the soft white sugar made by my family according to the secret recipe handed down from our ancestors! It tastes better than white sugar! If you don't believe it, Uncle Zhang can taste it!"
Zhang Shunping had already been conquered by white sugar at this time! He had subconsciously felt that this kind of thing was definitely qualified to participate and buy! So he stretched out his spoon and picked out a spoonful of white sugar and put it into his mouth. What surprised him was that this kind of
The white sugar melted in his mouth, instantly filling his entire mouth with sweet flavor! This melting speed was simply different from the white sugar he had eaten before!
At this time, Liu Haojia pointed to another jar and said: "Uncle Zhang has tasted the sugar. Try this syrup again. This one tastes better!"
Zhang Shunping already believed Liu Haojia's words at this time. He immediately picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea to wash away the sweetness in his mouth. Then he mixed a piece of syrup with the tip of a spoon, and looked at the long filaments drawn out of the syrup.
Surprised!
He broke off the filament and sipped the syrup in his mouth. The lubricating feeling immediately spread on the tip of his tongue! Sure enough, the sweetness of this syrup was greater and the taste was sweeter! However, Zhang Shunping felt that in terms of taste, the syrup was not as good as honey.
The taste is mellow, but in terms of sweetness, it far exceeds honey!
Zhang Shunping couldn't wait to swallow the syrup in his mouth. He didn't even bother to take a sip of the tea, and said eagerly: "What are the names of these two things? I have eaten white sugar, and this sugar is several times better than white sugar in terms of taste.
