5 min read1,302 words
?"Shopkeeper Liu, shopkeeper Liu? Would you like scalp, spinach, cucumber?"
Before dawn the next day, many farmers brought two baskets of fresh vegetables
into the city. Of course, there were also those who directly pulled the
bullock cart into the city. With the cement road blessing, the speed of the
bullock cart was naturally leaps and bounds!
The farmers unsurprisingly chose Zuixianlou as the first stop for selling
vegetables. They did just that when bean sprouts first came out.
"Oh~! Old Hu, come in!"
Just when the door of Zuixianlou was opened, the shopkeeper Liu hurriedly
greeted him when he saw that Old Hu had brought dozens of dealers outside.
Liu Erye didn't come today, but his sons came.
"This...! Lao Hu, the vegetables in your shed are all grown?"
As one of the veterans of Li Zexuan, shopkeeper Liu knew that the farmers
under Li Zexuan were secretly cultivating vegetables. When the shopkeepers
brought in so many fresh vegetables, shopkeeper Liu was first surprised, and
then he suddenly said.
Lao Hu grinned and said, "Well! It has grown into a part. Everyone wanted to
get some to Chang'an City first and see if they could sell it!"
"Good selling! Good selling! Of course good selling!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded quickly, saying that when he saw the verdant isatis and
cucumbers, he couldn't help but slurred, "Ding San! Come on! Take the scale,
and I will say all these dishes~! "
Shopkeeper Liu didn’t even ask for the price, so he directly greeted the
little servant to come over and call the dishes. Anyway, these dishes were
"processed" by their Zuixianlou, and they were definitely sold at a sky-high
price. Definitely make a fortune!
After all the vegetables were weighed, shopkeeper Liu asked: "Everyone’s
weight for each dish is written on it, Lao Hu, tell me what the price of each
dish is. I will let the accountant pay you now! "
Zuixianlou is backed by Li Zexuan, it can be said to be rich and powerful, and
the shopkeeper Liu will naturally not default the money to the farmers.
Hu Hanyun scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Treasurer Liu, you also
know that these vegetables are grown by everyone in the greenhouse, so the
cost is much more expensive than growing vegetables in summer... .."
He was afraid of the misunderstanding by the shopkeeper Liu, so he was
vaccinated in advance.
"Haha! No matter how unfavorable Liu is, he still understands the truth! Lao
Hu, just say the price, don't hesitate, no matter how high it is, the
Zuixianlou will make money!"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed and waved indifferently.
Old Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Everyone is
discussing these dishes. Shopkeeper Liu, you can pay us ten times the summer
price!"
Li Zexuan clearly said that it was 20 to 30 times, but Hu Hanyun said it was
ten times. This was also discussed in private before they came. Anyway, ten
times the price is already very profitable for them. Yes, just this trip today
will earn back the capital of the greenhouse!
"ten times?"
Shopkeeper Liu frowned, and he shook his head and said, "Lao Hu, you are
swearing at me again! How precious are the vegetables in this winter? How can
it be made at ten times the price? Twenty times as much as possible! Ding San,
call Mr. Accountant to come over and check out. Just settle at twenty times
the price!"
It is said that shopkeeper Liu is also a person who has seen the world.
Although Li Zexuan has not told him the "guide price" of greenhouse
vegetables, with his old eyes, can he not see that Hu Hanyun deliberately
lowered the price to take care of the Zuixianlou?
"Ah? I can't, I can't! Shopkeeper Liu! This dish is not worth the price!"
"Yes! Shopkeeper Liu! Ten times is too much!"
Lao Hu and the others were shocked and shouted from behind, but shopkeeper Liu
went straight to the backyard without returning.

"Master! Master! Someone in the East Market is selling fresh cucumbers,
spinach, and cabbage!"
Chongrenfang, Cao Family Courtyard.
A maid ran in excitedly and said.
"What? Fresh cucumber? How is it possible?"
Cao Wendong stood up in shock and refused to believe.
This maid was responsible for buying melons, fruits and vegetables from the
Cao family’s back chef. Seeing that her master didn’t believe her, she had no
choice but to swear to God, “Master! It’s true! The maid saw it in Dongshi!
And there are more sellers. One!"
Cao Wendong stared at the basket slung on the maid’s arm, and said with anger:
"You see someone selling cucumbers, but they don’t buy them~? Do you know how
rare a cucumber is in this winter? That's money. You can't buy it!"
The maid was almost crying, "Master, the cucumber is too expensive, it is
almost thirty times more expensive than the summer cucumber! The maid...the
maid dare not buy it!"
Cao Wendong hates that iron is not a steel road: "What is expensive? This is
also called expensive? Go! Let people carry the money and go! Buy as much as
you have for the old man! I wonder if your master likes cucumbers most?"
"Yes! Master, maidservant will go now!"
…………………………
Cao Wendong's family is not the only one who learned the news. Chang'an City
is the place where high-ranking officials and dignitaries gather. With so many
luxury houses, who does not have a subordinate who is responsible for
purchasing vegetables?
In the winter, a large number of fresh fruits and vegetables suddenly appeared
at the market, which naturally attracted their attention! As a result,
countless domestic slaves of wealthy families hurriedly rushed to the east
market with bullock carts pulling copper coins. After all, these fresh fruits
and vegetables are so in short supply that everyone is afraid that they will
not be able to buy them later!
"Niangniang! Niangniang! The servant girl heard from the deacon of the
imperial dining room today that there are cucumbers and green vegetables in
the East Market, and they are all freshly picked!"
In Xiyuan of the palace, a maid walked in hurriedly and said to Empress
Changsun.
"Oh~? There are actually fresh cucumbers on the market?"
Empress Changsun twisted her eyebrows and wondered: "Could it be that someone
in Wentang Supervisor sold cucumbers to private merchants without
authorization to make huge profits~?"
Thinking of this possibility, Empress Changsun's expression became a little
serious!
The court lady raised her head and replied: "Manny! No! There are more
cucumbers in the East Market~www.mtlnovel.com~ than Wentang Supervisors! And
the people who sell cucumbers are all farmers outside the city. Even if
Wentang Supervisor is willing to sell them cucumbers, they can't afford it!"
"Oh~? That's even more strange! How can these farmers have the conditions to
grow cucumbers in the harsh winter?"
Empress Changsun was full of doubts. At this moment, even if she had plenty of
imagination, she couldn't imagine the reason. This is mainly because the
farmers under Li Zexuan are very tight-lipped, and the vegetables in the
greenhouse are only passed on from the farmers to the farmers, and it is
difficult for outsiders to know.
"Niang, the cucumbers sold by the farmers are not only fresh and large in
quantity, but they are also not cheap! The slaves and maidservants heard that
a catty of cucumbers cost 600 yuan, but ordinary people can't afford it!"
The maid said again.
If it weren’t for the fact that cucumbers are too expensive in winter, she
herself would like to buy some to relieve her greed. After all, after a
winter, no one would want to eat some fresh vegetables.
