Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Chapter 47 People who feel bitter

As Liu Kun spoke, he reached out and pulled open a corner of the cloth covering the carriage, letting the fresh vegetables on the carriage appear in front of him.

The shopkeeper of Baisui Songju just glanced at it and his expression changed immediately.

He immediately stepped forward and pressed Liu Kun's hand, put down the cloth, and said with a smile: "Are these vegetables grown by my little brother?"

"The shopkeeper doesn't care who planted it, you just have to say whether you want to buy it or not." Liu Kun also had a smile on his face.

"Buy, buy!"

The shopkeeper didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even talk about the price. He said directly: "Brother, follow me in. We will go in and talk about the specific details."

"Okay." Liu Kun nodded and pulled the carriage into the yard at the back door of the restaurant.

The shopkeeper didn't talk nonsense and directly called the restaurant's chef.

The chef only glanced at it, but his expression immediately changed. He picked up a green vegetable and looked at it, then looked back at the shopkeeper and said: "The shopkeeper's vegetables are indeed fresh, picked from the ground, no more than three days old. "

To be able to be the shopkeeper of Baisui Songju, a well-known restaurant in the capital, it is natural for me to have this kind of discernment. The reason why I called the chef is because this fact is too shocking. I can't believe it subconsciously, so I let the chef do the final check. .

Now things are set.

The shopkeeper's breathing became rapid subconsciously.

He was very clear about the significance of this batch of vegetables.

If done properly, now is the perfect time to completely defeat several other competing restaurants!

When Liu Kun saw the shopkeeper's expression, he knew the business was done. He smiled and said, "How about it, Shopkeeper Jin, I didn't lie to you."

Shopkeeper Jin first took a hard look at the famous waiter before, then reached out and patted him on the head, telling him to get out and do his work. Then he turned around and faced Liu Kun with a smile.

"As Brother Liu said, these vegetables are indeed fresh from the fields, but I don't know how he plans to sell them?"

"A piece of cucumber is 55 taels, a piece of green vegetables is 50 taels, and a piece of carrot is 45 taels." Liu Kun said the prices he had prepared long ago.

This price is much higher than the price list Yang Xian gave him.

Sure enough, after listening to Liu Kun's quotation.

"A cucumber worth 55 yuan a piece is not cheap." Shopkeeper Jin pondered.

Not only is it not cheap, it is completely sky-high.

A cucumber worth more than RMB 3 is simply unimaginable in future generations, unless it was used by a certain well-known figure.

This is why Yang Xian set his sights on these top restaurants in the capital from the beginning.

Not to mention markets, even ordinary restaurants and inns, even if they know how precious fresh vegetables are in winter, they may not have the courage to eat them all at once.

"Shopkeeper Jin, think about it, with this batch of fresh vegetables, during this whole winter, which restaurant in the whole capital will be your rival at Centennial Songju." Liu Kun continued.

And these words really spoke to Shopkeeper Jin’s heart.

"Okay, little brother, I want all the vegetables in this cart!" Shopkeeper Jin said after pondering for a moment.

A piece of cucumber costs 60 to [-] taels, which is indeed not cheap, but it is affordable for a large restaurant like Baisui Songju.What's more important is that a dignitary from the capital happened to come to the restaurant for dinner recently. Now that it's winter again, shopkeeper Jin is worrying about what vegetarian dishes to prepare.

Now Liu Kun's cart of fresh vegetables just solves his troubles.

With this batch of dishes, shopkeeper Jin believed that he would be able to satisfy those nobles by then, so he bought all the dishes without hesitation.

Shopkeeper Jin's straightforward attitude made Liu Kun very happy. To be honest, he was always worried before completing the deal.

He was afraid that he would not be able to complete the task entrusted to him by Yang Xian.He immediately said: "There are 10 cucumbers, 10 carrots, and 20 green vegetables on the car. A total of six thousand, eight hundred and twenty taels of silver. Shopkeeper Jin, please do the math, right?"

"Not bad." Shopkeeper Jin nodded. As soon as Liu Kun reported the number, he calculated silently in his mind. So by the time Liu Kun reported the entire list, he had already calculated the price of the entire truck of vegetables, six thousand eight hundred and twenty. Two silver coins, no more, no less.

"After the inventory and handover is completed, I will take you to the warehouse to get the money. If there are still good things in the future, you don't need to go to other restaurants. Contact me directly. As long as the items are right, the price is not an issue."

"Okay, don't worry, if there are any good things again, I will definitely be the first to contact you." Liu Kun said with a smile.

Both parties are satisfied with the transaction.

By the time Liu Kun left Centennial Songju, there was already a large box of gold and silver on the carriage.

1 taels of gold, and 680 taels of silver.

For more than 1000 years from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, the price of gold has been relatively stable, and the gold-silver ratio was mostly 1:5 or 1:6, officially known as the "Five Exchanges" and "Six Exchanges."

As time goes by, the price of gold continues to rise, and the price ratio continues to rise.

During the Chongzhen period, the price ratio between gold and silver had risen to more than [-] taels.

From the late Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, prices have been stable in this range.

This is also the reason why various novels, movies and TV dramas on the Internet later used to default to the exchange of one tael of gold for ten taels of silver.

The amount of nearly 7000 taels of silver is not a small amount even for ordinary nobles.

What's more, for Liu Kun, who for the past three generations was a farmer with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky, this was an astronomical figure in his opinion.In the past, I worked hard for a year farming, but I was afraid I couldn't make even a few taels of silver.

But no matter how much money it is, it is in Liu Kun's heart.

Nor can it be compared with my own faith.

He pulled the carriage filled with gold and silver and did not leave the city, but walked directly to the direction of Suzaku Street in the city.

Although Beijing and Yangzhou are close.

But after all, Liu Kun was alone. When he realized that someone was following him, he did not choose to leave the city rashly.

No one knows what these people are planning.

To be on the safe side, Liu Kun planned to go to Mingji Dessert Shop on Zhuque Street to find Wang Yuemin.

When he left Yangzhou City, Yang Xian once told him that he could come to her if he encountered anything in the capital.

On this day, Wang Yuemin was looking after the dessert shop as usual.

In fact, she doesn't have to do this kind of thing herself, she can just invite someone to do it.But she liked this feeling, which allowed her to temporarily forget her true situation.

There are two shops, but she prefers this one to the bookshop.

Every now and then I can enjoy a few bites of dessert by myself.

Of course there is no dessert in this world that you will never get tired of, but there are people who will never get tired of it.

Wang Yuemin still remembers what Yang Xian said when he asked her to see the dessert shop.

There will always be business in dessert shops in this world. People who love sweets are probably bitter in their hearts, and there is no shortage of such people in this world.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuemin picked up another piece of dessert and put it into his mouth.
