021 The sky can't fall
Life has to go on, I didn't sleep until late at night last night, and the next morning, Zheng Peng and Lu Shu rushed to the market with braised meat.
The two came to the place where the braised meat was sold yesterday, and they had not yet arrived, and the diners who had tried the braised meat yesterday rushed up, although it was twenty wen a catty, there was no free food, less than two quarters of an hour, thirty catties of braised pig went into the water and snatched up, and some people complained that Zheng Peng took too little braised meat because they couldn't grab it.
Lu Shu lifted the money bag, which was all from selling braised meat, which was heavy.
At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Sui five money was used, light and small confusion, Wude four years of advanced to rectify the chaotic currency system, abolished the Sui money to open the Kaiyuan Tongbao, stipulating that every ten Wen weighed one tael, each Wen weighed one penny, and the ancient system of sixteen taels was one catty, and the bag of money also weighed three or four catties.
I hadn't seen so much money for a long time, and Lu Shu smiled happily.
"Young master, let's go pick up more pigs to go into the water, many people can't buy them, complain that we don't make more." Lu Shu said happily.
"Of course" Zheng Peng waved his hand: "If you have money, you don't make a bastard." ”
One pound is twenty Wen, ten Jin is two hundred Wen, one hundred Jin is two thousand Wen, by the way, it is said that it is only three days of discount, and the price will start to rise the day after tomorrow, and it will earn ten or eight times a month, and make more money to open a store, not only in Guixiang County, but also to open to Yuancheng County, Weizhou, Suzhou and Hangzhou, Jingshi, etc., when making money is like a pig cage in water, it is difficult not to make a fortune.
Lu Shu couldn't wipe the sweat on her little face, clenched her little fists, and said with her eyebrows fluttering: "Young master, let's go, collect a few more pairs of pigs in the water, and make more braised meat, and we can sell it for a lot of money." ”
Zheng Peng lightly scratched Lu Shu's nose: "Don't shout tired when the time comes." ”
"Young Master" Lu Shuqiao's face flushed, and she hurriedly dodged away, and then pouted and said, "Young Master is not afraid of being tired, and Lu Shu is not afraid of being tired." ”
His own young master is good at everything, but he has always regarded himself as a little girl, which makes Lu Shu a little distressed, in fact, he has shown his figure, although he is not as good as those women.
With money, Zheng Peng was not stingy, in order to save effort, he spent fifty yuan to buy a second-hand frame car, and the master and servant pushed the frame car to collect pigs into the water.
Pigs in the water is still the fate of being thrown away, Zheng Peng is not in vain, not only speaks politely, but also gives a few pennies for each pair of pigs in the water, and the butcher is also willing to give it to Zheng Peng, and he picked up eight pairs of pigs in the water in one day.
This year, pork is not popular, it is the last choice in terms of meat, Guixiang County is so big, eight pairs of pigs are considered its consumption level, if you go to the countryside to collect more, Zheng Peng thinks about it.
I don't know where to kill pigs, now there are no horses and no cars, where to go is all on foot, I am afraid that when I go, the pigs will be eaten by dogs, Zheng Peng is not affected by this kind of suffering, if you hire a car to go, you are afraid of jumping into the air, and you can't row.
It is also a chore to marinate eight pairs of pigs in the water at once.
Lu Shu pouted while washing and said: "It's strange, when you don't want these, it seems that you see someone killing pigs everywhere and throwing them away, I really want it, and it took a day to collect so much, not even ten pairs are enough." ”
"Be content, there are nearly 200 catties here, it is estimated that it will be busy late at night, and we don't have to sleep any more." Zheng Peng said with a wry smile.
There was a lot of work to clean, remove blood, and slice, and after cutting less than 30 catties, Zheng Peng's wrists were tired and sore.
"Then, what should we do, in the future, we will only make a few pairs of braised pork with pig water?" Lu Shu said a little unwillingly.
"Stupid, won't you hire someone then" Zheng Peng laughed: "It's a skill to be able to make money, and it is even more of a realm to let others make money for yourself." ”
Zheng Peng's dream is to sleep until he wakes up naturally, counting the money until his hands cramp, not to mention cutting 200 catties of meat a day, even if he cuts two catties every day, Zheng Peng is too tired.
Lu Shu's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood: "Yes, with money, the young master can hire people, no, hiring people may leak the secret recipe, or save money to buy a few slaves and maids, and let them do it." ”
"Clever!" Zheng Peng snapped his fingers triumphantly.
While talking, the two of them kept busy with their hands and feet, Lu Shu cleaned and pickled, Zheng Peng kept decomposing and slicing, and after a while, a small mountain of meat was piled up on the board.
Lu Shu seemed to think of something, looked up at Zheng Peng, hesitated, and said in a low voice: "Young master, there is something, I don't know if it's good to say it?" ”
"Say, Young Master Ben doesn't like to swallow and spit the most."
"Young Master, do you remember that yellow tiger?"
"Remember, what, he said he wanted to seek revenge?" Zheng Peng raised his head and said defiantly.
The road is narrow, I didn't expect to see him in Guixiang County, this guy actually wanted to demolish the stage, but fortunately, Zheng Peng didn't eat two vegetarians, not only did he not let him succeed, but also slapped him hard, making him run away in embarrassment, and now I feel enjoyable when I think about it.
Some people just don't fight the five elements, and they are not happy if they don't fight.
Lu Shu whispered: "No, when I collected the pigs into the water at noon, I overheard that Huang Lao Hu ran to the yamen to surrender, saying that he had drunk too much, and he was disrespectful, mainly surrendering or something, as if he had been fined money, and he would be locked up in prison for a few days, young master, do you say that this yellow tiger is stupid, we don't plan to denounce it, how did he run to the yamen by himself?" ”
"He's not stupid" Zheng Peng shook his head and analyzed: "I deducted a big hat, this matter can be big or small, but if it is not solved for a day, it is a hidden danger for a day, and taking the initiative to surrender can change from passive to active, Huang Laohu is a reckless man, he will not think so thoughtfully, hehe, it seems that he has a master behind him." ”
Putting money is not good without a backstage.
"Young Master, what should we do?" Lu Shu said with some concern.
It is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake, not to mention that his young master is not a strong dragon, he came to Guixiang County without visiting relatives or friends, and now the hatred with Huang Lao Hu is getting deeper and deeper, and Lu Shu is a little worried about his young master.
I wanted to say that after the occupation of the day, the young master should not slap the yellow tiger in front of everyone, but with the young master's character, it must be said that it is still less to slap, and Lu Shu's words came to his mouth and swallowed back.
"What are you afraid of, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it." Zheng Peng said with a nonchalant expression.
The second is a human being, and he is still afraid of a little hooligan ruffian?
Seeing that Lu Shu was a little worried, Zheng Peng didn't want her to have too much burden, so he deliberately diverted the topic and said some jokes, which soon made Xiao Nizi giggle....
The braised meat is still as good as ever, the next day the red-eyed master and servant pushed the braised meat to the market, I don't know whether it was the flavor of the braised meat that conquered the diners, or they rushed to taste it before the price increase, nearly 200 catties of braised pork went into the water, and it was swept away in less than half an hour.
After selling the last pack of braised pork, Zheng Peng casually threw the copper coin into the urn containing the money, only to hear the dull sound of "plop", "plop" and "plop" of the copper coin, and a satisfied smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
A pound of braised meat sells for 20 Wen, and 200 catties of braised meat has 4,000 Wen, 4,000 Wen, which is a full four dollars, not counting the labor, and the expense of planing the seasoning, the profit is small and it is said that there are 3,500 Wen, which is simply a huge profit.
In this way, it is not a problem to earn five or six times a day after the price increase, and you can earn more than 100 times a month, that is to say, as long as you can improve your life to a well-off living standard in one month, you can buy a slave house and live a good life.
Zheng Peng was in a good mood, and Lu Shu was holding the heavy money urn, smiling even more, and the corners of her good-looking little mouth were slightly upturned.
On the first day of selling braised meat, it only sold more than 300 Wen, and on the second day, it sold more than 600 Wen, and on the third day, it jumped to 4,000 Wen, and the income increased several times.
Labor is the most glorious.
After closing the stall, Zheng Peng and Lu Shu went home to have a delicious lunch first, and then talked and laughed and continued to collect pigs that others didn't want to go into the water.
However, it didn't take long for the smile to slowly fade and disappear from the faces of the two:
"Little lady, I'm sorry, someone asked for this pig in the water."
"Pigs in the water? It's gone, and people have already bought it. ”
"I said that it was ordered away, it's not a matter of money or not, whether to buy meat or not? If you don't buy it, please get out of the way, I still have to do business. ”
"What, you want to order tomorrow's pig launch? Sorry, someone asked for it, not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow, not this month, it's not just about money. ”
was full of joy to collect the pigs into the water, but what Zheng Peng didn't expect was that after a turn in Guixiang County, he didn't receive a pair of pigs in the water, and those butchers all replied: someone preemptively ordered it.
On the way back, Lu Shu looked at the empty rack car and said angrily: "Strange, no one wanted it when it was thrown on the ground before, but now it has become a rare commodity, young master, which one do you say is so bad?" ”
I just saw a broad road to a better life, and it was ruined in the blink of an eye, so it's strange not to be angry.
Zheng Peng smiled indifferently, stretched his waist and said: "The tree is very popular, it is estimated that some people see that we are so easy to make money, and we suffer from pink eye, so we will make a stalk." ”
"Young master, when is it, you can still laugh." Midori was so depressed that she stomped her feet.
Zheng Peng showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, winked at Lu Shu and said, "Mountain people have their own tricks, don't worry, the sky won't fall." ”
