Chapter 49 In the environment you used to live in, were people so simple?
Both parties are willing to buy or sell, so the next step is to negotiate the price.
"This kind of small clay pot is packed in one pound, and the price of one pound is ten cents. Twenty pounds will be given for one pound. The price of the clay pot is additional." He Yunxi quoted.
Yuan Yuan knew that He Yunxi didn't like to bargain, so the price was already lower than he expected. You know, this is an exclusive seasoning.
He calculated in his mind that a portion of pan-fried tofu costs four cents per pound, and the red chili sauce is less than one cent, plus oil and firewood. The cost is less than ten cents, but it can be sold for twenty cents a plate.
, this profit is still possible.
As for whether anyone would eat the 20 cents, he said he had no pressure.
Those who come to eat in restaurants are relatively wealthy, and they all know that the prices in this restaurant are much higher than those outside. Not to mention the unique seasonings.
He agreed to the price and the two parties signed a contract.
He Yunxi went to bring out a jar of red chili sauce. When he saw the jar of rock water, Yuan Yuan was a little curious.
"Red chili sauce will go bad if left in the air for a long time. Adding water to the altar rock can seal it. In this way, the red chili sauce will not go bad easily." He Yunxi explained, "When you use it, you must remember to close the lid and add
Tanyanshui.”
"Okay, I've written it down."
"In addition, if you see mold here, you cannot eat it. Otherwise, it may cause food poisoning."
"I know that." In a restaurant, the seasoning must be good.
He Yunxi took out the water from the altar rock and weighed it.
This scale is for weighing tofu. It is a rare platform scale. It is placed directly on the ground. There is also a support pole with scales on it. The other end of the support pole is a fishing hook, which is used to place the weight.
"It's twenty-six pounds in total." Yuan Yuan said.
He Yunxi took out another identical clay pot, weighed it and removed the skin.
"One catty and two taels, let's count it as one catty. In this way, the red chili sauce is twenty-five catties, and the total is two hundred and fifty cents."
"One pound will be deducted. I said I would get one pound for free if I paid twenty pounds."
"That's twenty-four kilograms, and the total price is two hundred and forty coins."
By this time, the tofu was almost ready. He Yunxi filled three barrels with wooden barrels and weighed them. After excluding the gift, it was 102 jins and four cents per catty, for a total of 408 cents.
"The red chili sauce costs 240 cents, the clay pot costs 5 cents, and the tofu costs 408 cents. The total is..."
Yuan Yuan was about to get the abacus when he heard He Yunxi say: "Six hundred and fifty-three coins."
Yuan Yuan was a little surprised: "Mrs. Lu can also do mental arithmetic?"
"I know a little bit," He Yunxi said.
Yuan Yuan took an abacus and calculated it. It was indeed six hundred and fifty-three yuan, and he admired He Yunxi even more in his heart.
If he can cook and can do mental arithmetic, he can still be paired with Lu Yan.
Because he was anxious to deliver the tofu red chili sauce to Zhoucheng, Yuan Yuan left in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome." Lu Yunjiao said with admiration.
Lu Yu nodded: "That's right, we made more than 600 yuan today. This is enough for a strong man to fight in the city for two months."
He Yunxi was also happy. This was different from selling bracelets or selling tigers and wolves before. Before, those were all accidental gains that could not be separated. Today this is business. As long as you do it well, it will not be broken. You don't have to worry about it in the future.
Starved to death.
"We sold so much money today, let's have a good meal to celebrate." She suggested, "How about we eat tofu fish for lunch?"
"Okay, okay!" Lu Yunqing was the first to agree. As long as it was food, she was the most active.
"Your elder brother and I will go catch fish."
"Let's go too." Lu Yunjiao said.
He Yunxi touched her head: "It's a bit late now. You guys wait at home. Your elder brother and I will go back quickly."
"Okay then." Lu Yunjiao knew that they were slow and would definitely not be able to keep up with her elder brother and sister-in-law. She wanted to eat fish with tofu for lunch, so she had to wait at home.
"I remember that Fourth Aunt and the others have kimchi? Can you bring back some bean curd in exchange for some kimchi later?"
"Okay sister-in-law."
He Yunxi went to call Lu Yan, and the two of them walked towards the pool together.
"Lu Yan, what do you think about us buying some land?" He Yunxi asked.
"You want to buy land?"
"The last time I sold tigers and wolves, I still had 35 taels left. That day I sold recipes for 60 taels, and the deposit for tofu and red chili sauce was 5 taels, so we totaled up to 1,050 taels. My mother's health is better than I expected.
, I estimate that if I take more than 20 taels of medicine, it will be enough. Then we can still have 80 taels. With some working capital left, we will use the rest to buy land and grow some vegetables this year and peppers next year.
"
It's already early September, and the land here is already empty. Some people will plant some green vegetables, and some who cherish the land will just save the land for planting next year.
In fact, it's not that I don't want to plant, but that there are no fertilizers now, and the fertility of the land is just like this. We need to nourish the land now so that next year's harvest will be good.
Those who want to sell their land will generally choose to sell at this time.
"If you want to buy land, just buy it." Lu Yan supported her, "Now the top-grade land is ten taels per acre, the middle-grade land is eight taels, and the low-grade land is five taels."
"Then we will buy other land." He Yunxi said, "We can buy twelve acres."
"The fertility of the lower-class land is very poor, almost like wasteland." He Yunxi did not recommend that she buy the lower-class land.
“What’s the price of that wasteland?”
"Two or three. I don't know much about this either," Lu Yan said.
He Yunxi was curious: "Why are there so many differences between wasteland and inferior land?"
Lu Yan explained: "The fertility of wasteland is generally worse than that of lower-grade land, and wasteland needs to be cleared. Crops may not be grown after the wasteland is cleared, so the price is much lower."
He Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Then let's buy wasteland. We can buy a lot more land. Isn't the piece of land at the foot of our mountain just a piece of wasteland? How about just buying this piece of land?"
"The land below us is even less fertile. Otherwise, no one would buy it."
"It's okay. I know a method of fertilization that can increase the fertility of the land. This low-grade land can also slowly grow into high-quality land." He Yunxi said confidently.
Lu Yan stared at her, making He Yunxi feel guilty and wondering if he had said something wrong.
Lu Yan looked at her confused look and sighed: "When you are outside, don't act like you know everything."
"Huh?" Why did you say this suddenly?
"A method of retting, do you know what will happen?"
"What?"
"If you have a way to improve the fertility of the land, this is not a trivial matter for the entire Daliang. If someone knows about it and wants to take credit for your achievements, have you ever thought about how they will deal with you?"
"I never thought about it." He Yunxi said honestly.
Lu Yan endured it, but couldn't help but ask: "Were people so simple in the environment you lived in before?"
He Yunxi tripped on a branch and stumbled forward. He was about to fall to the ground when Lu Yan grabbed him.
She stood up, her eyes evasive: "I, I don't know what you are talking about."
