Chapter Twenty-Six: Shopping in the Market
[The ghost market location has been unlocked, and market skills can be learned. Do you want to receive the knowledge? 】
Receive receive!
This is a practical skill.
"Marketing" skills include a lot of finance.
and knowledge of price buying and selling.
In "Wanshengyuan", it is a skill that can be used in trading.
Now the basic knowledge of lv1 is transferred.
Although there is only some common product knowledge.
But it is already very useful.
With the knowledge in this skill.
Zhang Ruo also gradually understood what the vendors nearby were selling.
This area is full of smuggled and stolen goods.
Some of the buyers nearby looked like young men in the trade.
And the little housekeepers in the homes of wealthy businessmen.
There are also a few people who have the ability to pick up leaks.
They don't even talk when discussing prices.
Even lip reading doesn't show up.
Both hands are placed in sleeves.
Then look at the other person's gestures to indicate the price.
Zhang Luo saw a stall owner in front of him making a circle gesture.
The customer opposite took out a bag of money.
Throw it on the stall.
Then he took out a piece of cloth and wrapped the things.
Then he hurriedly left the ghost market.
Zhang Luo didn't study it in detail.
Most of the people who come here to sell things are desperadoes like the Death Row Gang.
The water in the ghost market is too deep.
Before understanding the situation clearly.
Zhang Luo will not participate in the transaction.
The ghost market is divided into Qianming Street and Houyin Street.
Most of the products in Qianming Street are legal.
For example, flour, vinegar, wooden furniture, etc.
The variety is very complete.
The business on Qianming Street is very conspicuous.
Sometimes there will be large caravans coming to the flour store to purchase goods.
Houyin Street is a traditional black market.
In addition to various smuggled goods
There are also some gadgets that you don’t usually see.
Zhang Luo also saw a stall selling aphrodisiacs.
This kind of stall is even stranger.
There was no stall owner, only scattered medicines placed on the stall.
A man dressed entirely in black.
I threw a few coins towards the stall.
He picked up the medicine and hurriedly covered his face and left.
Zhang Luo breathed out.
In the feudal era, aphrodisiacs were basically used to rape women from good families.
Although the government has not explicitly prohibited it.
However, state and county governments in various places have criminal laws regarding the use of aphrodisiacs.
After all, public security in feudal society was not perfect enough.
It's easy for someone to get aphrodisiacs.
Zhang Luo walked around a lot.
Finally I saw the stall I was looking for.
Zhang Luo walked to a stall selling private salt.
Neatly arranged salt bricks are placed on the stall.
Then Zhang Luo found the salt brick.
It actually has the inscription of the salt field printed on it.
Apparently it comes from the official salt farm.
This salt stall is actually close to Qianming Street.
This salt stall owner is not as cold as the smugglers in the back streets.
Whenever a guest passes by, he will say hello.
After Zhang Luo stopped.
The masked stall owner saw that Zhang Luo looked cultured.
He said earnestly:
"Master, do you want to see the salt?"
"This is fine coarse salt shipped from Fuzhou, Fujian."
Relying on the light of the candle lamp.
Zhang Luo saw clearly the engravings on the salt bricks.
It is indeed coarse salt from Fuzhou Salt Farm.
However, this salt turn looks a bit small.
The surface color is also a bit dark.
"Can you try it?"
"Of course you can, young master, give it a try."
Zhang Luo dipped his hands into a few grains of salt.
Put it in your mouth and savor it for a while
I just feel it has a slightly more bitter taste than the white salt I ate in my previous life.
Zhang Luo looked at the stall owner and asked:
"How much does this salt cost?"
The stall owner smiled respectfully and said:
"This salt brick weighs seven pounds a piece and sells to the young master for one hundred and twenty cents."
Seven kilograms of coarse salt costs one hundred and twenty kilograms, and one kilogram is about seventeen kilograms.
Zhang Luo used some knowledge from "Market Science".
I found that this price is on the high side for ordinary coarse salt.
Fujian is a major salt-producing province.
Fuzhou and Quanzhou are several big cities.
All have official salt works.
The salt produced is not only used to supply the entire province.
Some will be exported to Southeast Asian countries.
Zhang Lu shook her head and said:
"I'm afraid this salt is a bit expensive, I'd better go check it out elsewhere."
The stall owner selling salt saw scholar Zhang Luo dressed up.
He is tall and has delicate skin.
I thought Zhang Luo was the son of a wealthy family in the county.
The stall owner quickly said anxiously:
"What price do you like, young master?"
"Of course we can talk about money matters."
Zhang Luo discussed the price with the stall owner.
Then he asked casually:
"Stall owner, do you have refined salt here?"
I heard the word refined salt.
The stall owner seemed to have seen a big buyer.
He was even more certain that Zhang Luo was the young master of a wealthy businessman.
"Yes, I just got some refined salt here yesterday."
After saying that, the stall owner took out a yellow jar from behind.
Carefully pour a little salt on the wooden board.
"This is fine, fine salt."
"It takes three bricks of coarse salt to exchange for one brick of refined salt."
As expected, refined salt was still a luxury item in the Ming Dynasty.
Three pieces of coarse salt equals twenty-one pounds.
According to the ghost market price.
A refined salt brick costs more than 300 yuan.
The price is indeed quite high.
Zhang Luo took the wooden board from the stall owner's hand.
Taste it carefully.
The strong salty taste flooded Zhang Luo's taste buds.
The taste of refined salt is indeed incomparable to that of coarse salt, without any bitterness.
"Good salt! How can I sell this refined salt?"
The stall owner immediately said:
"Fine salt bricks are half the size of coarse salt bricks."
"Almost four pounds."
"I won't cheat the young master, so I'll sell you two hundred and fifty coins."
The price is similar to what Zhang Luo calculated just now.
Refined salt is much more expensive than coarse salt.
Zhang Ruo asked about the price of refined salt.
He found Zhang Wangsheng jumping around and left the ghost market.
The sky is getting brighter, and the vendors in the ghost market have begun to receive goods.
Plan to leave the ghost market before the sun rises completely.
Zhang Luo took Zhang Wangsheng back to Zhenhaiwei.
As he walked, he asked Zhang Wangsheng:
"What is the origin of the private salt in the ghost market?"
"Brother Zhang Luo, do you want to sell salt?"
"Selling salt now is not a big-money business!"
"That vendor probably stole it from some salt farm."
"Isn't the price of salt good? Why not make money?"
Some time-travel novels written by Zhang Luo before he time-traveled.
Selling salt and tea are both good ways to make money.
Just sell the ones that are not common in the market.
It is easy to solve the problem of no money.
Zhang Wangsheng continued:
“Where in southern Fujian can’t we eat salt?”
"It's better to use some braised salt than ordinary coarse salt."
"We Zhenhaiwei have never bought salt."
Brine block is natural sea salt produced by the seaside.
But it contains the taste of bitter brine.
So it cannot be called salt.
Zhang Luo also tasted coarse salt just now
People in Weili would rather go to the beach to pick up brine.
I also don’t want to sell official coarse salt.
In fact, there is not much difference between coarse salt and brine.
Zhang Wangsheng said:
"Third Master often says that eating braised cubes is bad for your health."
"It's poisonous, but Zhenhaiwei doesn't care about himself."
“It’s good if your stomach is full.”
Zhang Luo was a little frustrated.
The way to get rich that you just figured out yourself.
Are you about to be strangled to death in the greenhouse?
