This week is coming to an end, and every day is two shifts, around 10 o'clock in the morning and about 7 o'clock in the evening.

The results of this book do not seem to be ideal at present, and I am working hard to hit the list, asking for rewards, collections, recommendations, clicks, comments, and so on!

……

It wasn't until the sunset was about to set that the ox cart driven by Zhao Da and his wife appeared on the rugged path, and a few little guys who had long been looking through the autumn water immediately rushed over laughing and jumping.

Looking at the pile of objects piled up on the ox cart, as well as the joy that Zhao Da and his wife tried to hide but couldn't hide, Li Anran's faintly hanging heart finally let go.

When the bullock cart stopped outside the courtyard gate, everyone, including the little one, helped carry the contents of the cart into the house. It took almost two quarters of an hour, or half an hour, to finish moving the things on the car.

Among the items brought back by Zhao Da and his wife this time, the most popular ones were not the newly bought pork, nor the wine sealed with yellow mud in the jar, but the heavy copper coins that were placed in bamboo baskets and covered with black cloths.

After a cart of items were all delivered into the house, a few small ones were sent to the yard to play with a bag of dim sum and watch some people by the way. As for Li Anran, they gathered in the hall and began to divide the dirt, no, it should be a dividend.

In fact, this time he went to the city to sell barbecued char siu and snow sugar, and Li Anran originally wanted to run it in person. After all, Zhao Da and his wife are just ordinary people, and they are far inferior to themselves from later generations in terms of receiving people and bargaining. But after thinking about it, since I had planned to make good use of these two families, sooner or later I would have to face the situation of being alone. And as the business grows bigger, there will be more and more problems to face.

Rather than letting them scramble to create a lot of problems in the future, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the business has just begun, and experience first. If there is a problem in terms of ability, you can also make some adjustments in terms of position later. But considering that this is the first "cannon" after his crossing, whether it can be fired or not is quite critical. Therefore, Li Anran was not stupid enough to pin all his hopes on Zhao Da and his wife.

In addition to carefully explaining some problems that may be encountered in advance before the two of them leave. The first batch of grilled barbecued pork and snow sugar did not let Zhao Da and his wife go to the buyer by themselves, but went directly to Changchun Hall. Compared with Zhao Da and his wife who live in Zhaojia Village, Sun Changgeng, who has the dual identity of the attending doctor and boss of Changchun Hall, is far superior in terms of identity and status, as well as in terms of personal relationships.

Even if the two businesses of barbecued barbecued pork and snow sugar have nothing to do with Changchun Hall itself, with Sun Changgeng's fame, it is much better than Zhao Da and his wife looking for buyers by themselves with the goods. For this reason, Li Anran not only prepared a roasted barbecued char and snow sugar as a gift, but also wrote a letter with the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Zhao Da bought the day before.

In the letter, in addition to mentioning that he wanted to ask the other party for help to solve the problem of selling barbecued char siu and snow sugar, he also talked about some traumatic treatment in a discussion tone. At the end of the letter, there is also a "tail" deliberately left. He said that he "wanted" another prescription, a prescription specifically for the treatment of trauma.

Li Anran admitted that he did do this with some trading meaning. But considering that he has just come to Datang, he has no foundation, and he is locked up in addition to trading, and he can't imagine what qualifications he has to let people do things for him.

"Real person, this is a letter from Dr. Sun to you." Before talking about the experience of going to the county seat this time, Zhao Da carefully took out a letter from his body and handed it out.

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Anran, who took the letter, did not rush to open it, but smiled gently.

"It's not hard, it's not hard." Zhao Da, who waved his hand again and again, said.

When he saw the letter, Li Anran knew that his original idea should have come true. So he didn't wait for Zhao Da to speak, but opened the letterhead directly. The content of the letter is divided into three parts, the first part is Sun Changgeng's gratitude for the content of the previous letter about the treatment of trauma.

The second part is very polite to say that although the grilled barbecued pork and snow sugar were still sold this time, I apologized for not being able to help me in terms of price. The last part is to explain that Rendan has been successfully trial-produced, and there is just a big person who has a problem in this regard, and the effect after the trial is very good.

The other party is very optimistic about the prospects of Rendan, and is willing to buy this prescription at a price of 2,000 yuan. But Sun Changgeng didn't dare to agree, and specially told him that he hoped that Li Anran would decide. After reading this letter, Li Anran just pondered for a while and then put it into his treasure bag, and then chatted with Zhao Da about this harvest.

In Zhao Da's narration, Li Anran can be regarded as experiencing the modest side of the ancients. What does it mean that it didn't help, this time it was thanks to Sun Changgeng's help.

The barbecued pork was finally bought by the Hongfu Building in the county. The price is also very good, much higher than selling raw meat directly. Snow candy was bought by a merchant in the county who was originally engaged in the sugar business, and the price naturally made Zhao Da and his wife overjoyed.

If Sun Changgeng didn't come forward to help, let's not talk about whether the barbecued pork and snow sugar can be sold at such a high price, and whether there will be problems after the transaction is still two words. But even so, whether it is the proprietor of Hung Fook House or the connoisseur who specializes in the sugar business, they all express an attitude of interest in the recipe for grilled barbecued pork and snow sugar.

According to Zhao Da, both of them are willing to pay a high price for the formula. Especially the recipe of snow sugar, even Zhao Da could see that the other party was trying to calm down the eagerness. For this result, Li Anran was not surprised at all. Grilled barbecued pork, in the end, it's just a food, even if it tastes good, it's nothing. But snow sugar is different, almost white as snow, not only beautiful, but also very sweet. As long as there is no problem with the head, anyone can see how much benefit there will be.

And Zhao Da happened to buy the miscellaneous candy at the other party's house, and as soon as he turned around, he sold the snow-white candy back, as long as the other party has some brains, he can think of something to some extent. Although this point was not explicitly stated in Sun Changgeng's letter, he deliberately introduced the background of these two merchants and the adult who happened to be saved by Ren Dan.

As early as when he thought of relying on snow sugar to earn the first pot of gold after the crossing, Li Anran had already expected that he would likely encounter such a thing, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. After listening to the excited Zhao Da, some incoherent narration. Li Anran didn't tell the story behind this transaction, and with the situation of the two brothers of the Zhao family, it was useless to say it, it only added to the trouble.

After piling all the copper coins sold this time on the table, looking at the strings of copper coins that looked like a hill, Li Anran felt a little crying and laughing.

This pile of money looks like a lot, but if it is exchanged for silver, the volume and weight will immediately shrink a lot, but Zhao Da and his wife are willing to protect the copper coins and come back. After thinking about it, I was relieved that although there were already three currencies of gold, silver and copper in the Tang Dynasty, the real circulation was mainly copper coins such as Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Silver is a kind of mid-to-high-end currency that is used by wealthy families for large business, or for convenience and carrying. As for gold, apart from being used for jewelry, there are really not many places where it is really used for money.

About 200 catties of wild boar, and finally made about 100 catties of barbecued pork. One catty The other party gave a "high price" of 30 Wen, which alone is more than 3,000 yuan.

On the snow sugar side, more than 100 catties of miscellaneous sugar finally got less than 50 catties of snow sugar, 800 wen per catty, which is nearly 40,000 yuan. 1,000 coins are consistent, always a string, these 40,000 coins are forty yuan, although it is only forty taels of silver, but all of them are copper coins, and it is naturally very visually impactful when put together.

If you want to say that the price of 800 wen a pound is not high, it is indeed quite high. But it's good to stand up to this snow candy, and it's also a scorpion's rake - a single (poisonous) portion (dung).

In Li Anran's opinion, it is not an exaggeration to sell his snow candy for 1,500 wen a catty. Anyway, this kind of thing is not for ordinary people to consume. Just like the lines in a classic film in later generations are said well, you have to learn to figure out the psychology of consumers when selling things, and people who can afford to buy this snow candy at a price of 800 wen a pound definitely don't mind spending 800 wen more to buy it.

As for the price of grilled barbecued pork, although Thirty Wen does seem to be a good price, it is low in Li Anran's opinion. However, when you think about the status of pork in this era, you can understand it. The same food is made, but not a few people have eaten it and think it is good, it will definitely be able to sell well, and it also needs to accept the taste of the majority of diners, and can take down all the barbecued pork at one time.

But in Li Anran's view, the so-called risk is just a temptation and a means for Hongfulou to reduce prices. However, these thoughts were not intended to be shared with the Zhao brothers.
