Chapter 52 Leeks
Beijing.

Ming Kee Dessert Shop.

Wang Yuemin looked at the cart full of fresh vegetables that Liu Kun pulled over, and then read the letter he brought from Yang Xian, and knew that he was probably going to open a new store.

She guessed right.

At the same time, Yang Xian gave Wang Yuemin something very new in science in this letter.

Yang Xian asked Wang Yuemin to clearly specify how many fresh vegetables could be sold in the store every day.

This is the first point Yang Xian mentioned.

Wang Yuemin looked at the contents of Yang Xian's letter and was a little confused.

It was the first time she had heard of opening the door for business and stipulating the quantity of goods sold every day.

Are there still people who think their business is too good?

You must know that based on her understanding of the actual value of these fresh winter vegetables these days, no matter how much they come, they can still be sold.

With doubts in her heart, Wang Yuemin continued to look down and saw the letter saying, "If Ms. Wang is worried that the Mingji Fruit and Vegetable Store will make less money after the daily supply is stipulated, don't worry, it won't be the case."

What a prophet, he even took into account my thoughts at the moment.

Yang Xian's calm face suddenly appeared in Wang Yuemin's mind, and he continued to look at it.

The store needs to draft a notice to spread the word that each person is limited to purchasing a certain amount per day. If you buy more, you will have to pay more.

For example, if someone wants to buy three cucumbers, the first cucumber is sold at the original price, the second cucumber is sold at an increase of 20%, the third cucumber is sold at an increase of 20% based on the second price, and so on.

Daily ration, this is the simplest way of hunger marketing.

It was originally a seller's market, and Yang Xian didn't have to do this.

It's just that it's still a bit difficult to fully supply the fresh vegetables in greenhouses of this size in Yangzhou City to the capital.

After all, in addition to Yang Xian and the others who wanted to use it themselves, they also had to appropriate part of it and give it to Prince Zhu Biao and Lao Zhu in the palace.

Therefore, he did this just to squeeze out all the value of this batch of fresh vegetables.

According to his operation, the same amount can be sold for more money.

The money he earned from nobles was to benefit the people and earn merit points in the future.

It is tantamount to Yang Xianjian taking over from these nobles to accumulate negative virtues.

When Wang Yuemin first asked his men to post the notices, he was still worried about what might happen.

She was worried not only about the store's business, but also about some ignorant and wealthy merchants coming to make trouble. After all, this was the first time she had heard of such limited purchases.

But the final result told her that all her worries were unnecessary.

The business of Ming Kee Fruit and Vegetable Shop is even better than when Ming Kee Dessert Shop first became popular.

In the first few days, the shopkeepers of major restaurants and the housekeepers of noble ministers came to line up in the early morning.

Then, as time went by, some people even lined up outside the fruit and vegetable shop at dawn.

If someone is dissatisfied with the small amount that can be purchased, there are many people behind him who want to buy.

Under the mutual restriction and competition among these people, what Wang Yuemin was worried about did not happen. How could anyone have time to cause trouble?

If it's a little later, I'm afraid today's share will be sold out.

In addition, Wang Yuemin's identity is here, and the powerful nobles in the capital may have already found out who is standing behind Mingji Trading Company, which has emerged in the capital in the past few months.

After what happened last time, Lan Yu regretted so much that her intestines turned green.Stealing the chicken is losing the rice, and the originally good situation was turned into this by him.

Although after that day, neither Crown Princess Chang Xia nor the Chang brothers and sisters showed any obvious strangeness to him.

But Lan Yu still felt a vague sense of alienation.

In order to make up for the mistakes he made before, he directly sent a large number of servants from the Hou Mansion to queue up at Mingji Fruit and Vegetable Shop in the middle of the night.

The next day, he spent a lot of money to cover all the fruit and vegetable shop's sales for that day.

This incident caused public outrage.

For a while, a minor conflict arose.

The servants of the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and the servants of other honorable nobles got into a fight. If the military master of the Bingma Division had not come forward in the end, the matter would have become even bigger.

After Prince Zhu Biao heard about this, his opinion of his cheap relative changed a bit.

As the person involved, Lan Yu didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. On the day of the accident, she took the fresh vegetables that the servants had finally bought to the Prince's Mansion.

"Now, the prince should see my feelings." Lan Yu smiled proudly in her heart.

It is a pity.

The reality is far from the world he imagined.

Lan Yu is not without brains, he is indeed talented in the military, but his habitual thinking mode of putting his eyes above his own often makes him do things that seem unbelievable to outsiders.

What's even more outrageous is that he himself didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did.

The most classic case is the unofficial anecdote about Zhu Yuanzhang asking his adopted sons to remove their armor a few years later.

What Lan Yu didn't expect was that he would be stopped directly outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

It was only then that his mind became a little clearer, and he said to the official of the prince's palace: "Eunuch Li, have you informed me clearly just now? I, Lan Yu, have come to deliver fresh winter vegetables to the prince."

"This thing is a rarity in the capital now, and it is not easy to buy. The gift given by the princess to celebrate my daughter's birthday was too expensive. Therefore, I have been feeling uneasy these days. These fresh vegetables only represent me Some thoughts for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."

Lan Yu didn't give up yet and said.

But then, Eunuch Li's words directly made him realize the reality.

"Yongchang Marquis, how dare I not report your instructions truthfully. It's just that the Crown Prince has told you, and he understands the Marquis's wishes. He also asked the old slave to give this thing to the Marquis."

As he spoke, Eunuch Li took out a small bundle of green leeks from behind.

Looking at the bundle of leeks in Eunuch Li's hand, Lan Yu's face turned blue and white.

How ugly it is, how ugly it is.

But he couldn't refuse what the prince had given him. He could only suppress the anger in his heart, squeeze out a smile from the corner of his mouth, thank him and leave.

The fresh vegetables in Zhu Biao's house naturally come from Yang Xian.

One of the most direct ways to gain a foothold in the Ming Dynasty's commercial landscape is to link one's products to the royal family.

Like snowflake salt before, and now winter off-season vegetables.

There are also cashmere sweaters that will be on the market soon.

Yang Xian did this not only to protect his own interests, but also to benefit more people of the Ming Dynasty. In his current situation, the best choice was to rely on the power of the court.
