After dressing as a top-quality old woman, I became the pillar of the whole family

Xu Changsheng giggled: "Mom, I'm not afraid anymore. It's not difficult to cook for so many people. I think I will do better in the future."

Zhang Xiaoying patted him on the shoulder, "So do you believe in yourself?"

"Well, I believe it."

"That's good."

"Mom, if you ask for potatoes in a restaurant like this, you won't be able to sell many potatoes. There are so many grown in the village!"

"Do you still want to reach the sky in one step?"

Zhang Xiaoying was upset.

Of course she knew that just one Fengyue Restaurant would not be able to sell much, but at least you had to let people know that potatoes were a good thing. Only when more people tasted them could the market for potatoes be opened up.

Xu Changsheng was about to speak when he saw Manager Liao coming in with a bright smile, "Doctor Zhang, let's go, there's something good going on!"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Xiaoying was confused.

"Someone came to me just now and wanted me to introduce you to him. He wants to do business with you." Manager Liao said quickly, "This gentleman is a businessman, not from Guangxing County. He often comes to our place to eat. , so it can be regarded as acquaintance."

"Potato?"

"Yes! He tasted it just now, and after asking around, he found out that these potatoes are only available in Dafu Village, so he came up with this idea. I have already invited him to the private room, and Dr. Zhang will talk to him."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Liao!"

Zhang Xiaoying didn't expect that she would be so lucky, and she would find a deal as soon as she arrived!

Xu Changsheng also followed silently.

As soon as Zhang Xiaoying and Manager Liao came in, the merchant stood up, looked at Zhang Xiaoying and asked Manager Liao, "Is this Dr. Zhang?"

"Yes, it's me. Who is your Excellency?"

"I'm Bao Zaixing. I just tasted that potato. It's really good. I heard that your Dafu Village has grown a lot of potatoes and they haven't been sold yet. I want to talk to you about the potato business. Is Dr. Zhang interested? "

"Mr. Bao, you know, don't we farmers grow crops to support our families? We have a big flood this year. There is no rice harvest this year, so we are counting on these potatoes."

"Hahaha, if Dr. Zhang is happy, I will be happy too. I just want to ask, if I want to send potatoes to be sold farther away, how long can they be kept?"

"Under normal circumstances, it can be kept for nearly two months."

"Two months?"

Bao Zaixing began to think about it.

Things are rare and expensive, and the best money to be made from potatoes is in the first one or two years. Once the people in Daliang start growing them, potatoes will not be so valuable!
Bao Zaixing asked: "Then can I go and take a look at your potatoes first?"

"of course can."

"Then go now?"

Bao Zaixing wanted to quickly determine how many potatoes there were in Dafu Village, so that he could consider whether to take them all.

"Row."

Seeing this, Manager Liao said, "I happen to be free too, so I'll go with you!"

"Let's get together then. I'll ask someone to harness the car." Bao Zaixing immediately asked his servant to get off first.

"Doctor Zhang, what's the price of this potato?"

"You and Manager Liao are friends, so I'll give you the same price, fifteen cents per catty."

"I'm going to look at the potatoes first."

Bao Zaixing had never seen the appearance of potatoes, so of course he would not easily accept Zhang Xiaoying's price.

When they returned to the village, Zhang Xiaoying took Bao Zaixing to the village chief's house first, and asked Xu Changsheng to talk to the villagers and let them know that she paid Bao Zaixing fifteen cents per pound.

Before the flood, rice cost ten cents per catty, but now it has risen to fifteen cents.But the yield of potatoes is higher than that of rice. While there are still few, the profit will be many times that of a year's rice harvest.

The village chief was very happy when he heard that Bao Zaixing wanted to harvest potatoes. He personally took Bao Zaixing to each household that grew potatoes.

Each potato is about the size of a fist and has smooth skin. Even if it is the first time he sees potatoes, Bao Zaixing knows that these potatoes are of good quality.

It's just that it's been a while since these potatoes were recovered, so it's probably too late to transport them further to sell them.

After reading it, Bao Zaixing and Zhang Xiaoying returned to the village chief's house.

"Doctor Zhang, let me tell you the truth. If these potatoes of yours were freshly collected, I would be able to accept the price you offered. These potatoes should have been dug for a while. How about we give each other a small refund?"

Bao Zaixing started bargaining.

Zhang Xiaoying shook her head, "Seriously, the village is pointing out that these potatoes are going through the lean years. They really can't go any lower. In fact, Mr. Bao himself knows that these potatoes can be sold at a higher price when they go to other places, right?"

"mainly……"

"Don't worry, if this deal is completed, I will naturally teach you how to preserve potatoes and prevent them from getting bruised during transportation. Mr. Bao, you are a smart person and should know better than us that scarcity is valuable. reason."

Bao Zaixing couldn't help but laugh, "Doctor Zhang, you really don't give me any room for negotiation!"

"We can't eat so many potatoes, and there are other ways to process the potatoes so they can be stored longer. In the end, we don't care whether the potatoes can be sold, let alone sell them cheaply."

Bao Zaixing was silent for a moment, "How many potatoes are there in your village?"

If you want to bet, bet big!
Zhang Xiaoying and the village chief looked at each other, and the village chief immediately said: "About [-] kilograms."

hiss, so much?
Bao Zaixing thought for a while, "How about this, Dr. Zhang, village chief, I will collect three thousand catties first, and keep the rest for myself. If I don't hear from you after the Lantern Festival, how about you just deal with it on your own? I I will give you a deposit first!”

"Okay!" Zhang Xiaoying agreed.

Bao Zaixing was so straightforward, and she was also neat.

Zhang Xiaoying divided the three thousand kilograms equally among each household.

Bao Zaixing immediately asked their people to prepare, planning to transport the potatoes out tomorrow.

Zhang Xiaoying taught Bao Zaixing how to store potatoes and how to avoid bumps during transportation.

It was the first time for the villagers to sell so many potatoes, and they all carefully packaged the potatoes according to Zhang Xiaoying's instructions, and waited for Bao Zaixing's horse team to pack them.

The more people worked, the faster the work went. By midnight, the three thousand kilograms of potatoes had been loaded onto the carriage.

Bao Zaixing changed his mind and left overnight transporting the potatoes.

The person who sold the potatoes took the money and was so happy that he couldn't even sleep.

Xu Qinglin was especially excited.

"Daughter-in-law, these potatoes are more profitable than rice. Watching everyone get money from Master Bao, I am happier than getting rich myself." Xu Qinglin pulled Liang and said excitedly.

Mrs. Liang: "...You have said this several times, and you don't even know what time it is. If you don't sleep, I have to sleep. If you wake up my son later, how can you coax him? Mom has been running around all day. Stop disturbing her!"

"I just can't control myself, wife, and this makes me feel like a very useful person."

"..."

"How about we plant more next year?"

"..."

"If the output increases again, then..."

"go to bed!"

Liang couldn't help but pushed him down and covered him with a quilt.

It's so noisy that you can't let anyone sleep in the middle of the night?
