Chapter 5 The Merchant Who Is Not Afraid of Death
A piece of tofu costs five cents, and the tofu made today costs thirty yuan, thirty-five yuan...
One hundred and fifty cents!
Yang Deli held the wallet and felt extremely heavy.
A bucket of rice is more than ten kilograms, and five cents are enough. The money here can buy thirty buckets of rice.
Yeon Deli has never seen that much money!
Several merchants divided the thirty pieces of tofu, and one of them asked with a smile: "Jia Langjun, maybe you can make more white jade tofu?"
How can you make money if you only get thirty yuan a day?
"It's easy to say." Jia Ping'an nodded, but refused to say how much he could do every day.
How to make tofu, is it difficult or not? How much can you make in a day? All of these are in Jia Ping'an's mind. He didn't say it on purpose, but it was just a shame, which made these businessmen feel itchy and uncomfortable.
As for whether these merchants would give up because the amount of tofu sold every day was too small and they felt that they would not make money, Jia Ping'an felt that they could not.
What do rich people want? Isn’t it just a new thing? These merchants use tofu to pry open the homes of rich people, and there are many benefits! The main purpose here is not to make money, but to build friendship and relationships. Just like the price of luxury goods sold in later generations, countless people still flocked to them. Some people did not go for the goods themselves, but willingly paid for the name of luxury goods.
At this time, a child ran out next to him. After seeing Jia Ping'an, he shouted: "The broom star is here, run!"
Several businessmen who were thinking about how to use tofu to open up the high-end market slowly looked at Jia Ping'an after hearing this.
The story about the broom star has been spread, but the outside world is not very clear about the specific situation at present.
The broom star turned out to be Jia Ping'an, the tofu?
In an instant, several businessmen turned pale, and one of them had his legs weakened, and he actually sat on the ground and started crying, "I'm dead today!"
Well……
Several villagers watching the fun behind couldn't help but shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Jia Ping'an, the broom star, was really a scam, and these businessmen didn't know how unlucky they would be after returning.
Jia Ping'an knew that the name of the broom star would be slowly spread and finally spread to Chang'an City, so he was very calm and said, "Tomorrow will still be sold at this time, and those who wish to come."
He turned around and went in, and several villagers quickly avoided it, as if they were avoiding the plague god.
Yang Deli followed behind with a basket, feeling disappointed, and whispered: "Ping An, are they afraid they won't come again?"
The tofu business is about to begin. If the merchants are afraid of it, how can they make money?
At this moment, what Yang Deli regrets the most is that his cousin didn't sell the formula. If he wants to sell it now, no one will pay a big price.
Thinking that the old Jia family's plan to make money was over, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
"Don't worry about this." Jia Ping'an's tone was very firm.
To be honest, the business environment of the Tang Dynasty was not good at least at this moment, and it was incomparable to the Song Dynasty.
"What is a businessman?" Jia Ping'an didn't want to say it, but thought that in the past four years after his parents passed away, his cousin was taking care of his original body, and he was his only relative, so he had to look at him differently.
"It's just making money." Yang Deli has been in the countryside all his life, and he has only had that little knowledge.
"If the profit of a business is 50% higher, the merchant dares to take risks. If the profit of a business is 100%, the merchant dares to risk his head to do it..."
The broom star will defeat people. This is just an illusory concept and there is no standard to measure it. For example, if you are old, or if you are not able to defeat anyone.
In this case, if the merchants retreat, it would be a strange thing.
He has a thousand years of experience, far surpassing Yang Deli and those people, so he is full of confidence.
Murmama Yang Zhongshun was taking care of his wife. A neighbor came outside and said excitedly: "Broom Star, Broom Star is indeed Broom Star!"
Yang Zhongshun was stunned, "So what happened to him?"
The neighbor said, "Then Jia Ping'an didn't know what he had made... tofu attracted several merchants to buy it, but the merchants' expressions changed drastically after hearing that he was a broom star. It seemed that he would not be able to continue this business."
"Oh!" Yang Zhongshun sighed, got up and left the room, and said, "That year, I remembered that a powerful scholar passed by our Yangjiawu. At that time, Jia Ping'an was still preparing to ask for a meeting, probably because he wanted to find an opportunity, but as soon as he was about to leave the house, he was chased by a dog in a mess. When he avoided the dog and went out, the scholar had already left. It can be seen that this person can not only defeat people, but also himself. This matter... is normal."
Everyone thinks it is normal for the Broom Star to be unlucky.
"It's just his white jade tofu..."
The neighbor said regretfully: "He probably wants to sell the goods. Someone paid five stakes the money the previous time, but this time it was about three stakes. After all, Jia Ping'an had no life to make a fortune!"
Yang Zhongshun said: "Look at him, he has been unlucky since he was born. He has been defeated all the way and has been unlucky and has been in trouble. How can such a person make a fortune?"
...
"Cousin, come and buy twenty kilograms of beans." When Jia Ping'an returned home, he explained this matter.
Yang Deli felt that his cousin was afraid of being burned, so he couldn't help but reach out to touch his forehead, "Why are those businessmen afraid to come?"
"Just go." Jia Ping'an thought of mai rice and became interested immediately. "Cousin, buy some rice and let's make big rice."
When he thought of the rice, he couldn't help but feel it.
Although Yang Deli was thin, he was very strong. He bought the things later. Jia Ping'an personally cooked and made a fried rice with a pot similar to a copper tripod, which immediately scared Yang Deli.
"Ping An When will you cook?"
After his uncle and aunt went there, Yang Deli was always taking care of Jia Ping'an. When did Jia Ping'an cook?
But now he almost swallowed his tongue when he ate this fried rice.
yes!
This is a problem.
Jia Ping'an felt that he had neglected this, but he immediately thought of the excuse, "There is a golden house in the book, everything in the book, and a certain person is a genius when cooking."
There are not many scholars these days, so after fooling him, Yang Deli really agreed and cried again to report Jia Ping'an's current prospects to Jia Ping'an's mother, his aunt.
As for Jia Ping'an, after getting rid of the "beautiful" of a bowl of soup every day, he felt refreshed.
...
The village of the fort is similar to that of the towns in the city. It closes every day when it is time, and opens in the morning, and the key is in the hands of the village chief.
At the fifth update, the sky was dark and the sky in the east was faintly white.
Yang Zhongshun had some abdominal pain, but there were villagers gathering behind him, so he waited for him to open the door and then went to work in the field.
"Muramasa, it's too late to open today."
Yang Zhongshun nodded, "I have diarrhea, it's a little late."
After opening the door of the fort, Yang Zhongshun yawned, and then... his eyes widened.
Outside the gate, there was a black shadow standing at this moment.
The black shadow's body should be leaning against the door, and at this moment it slowly fell down as the door opened.
Bang!
"Murdered!"
Yang Zhongshun was startled and couldn't help but retreat.
"I actually killed someone and left it outside our gate. I'm so brave!"
"Who did this? Report to the official immediately!"
"Report to Li Zheng."
The villagers were also a little scared, but there were many people and so many people were talking about it.
"Ouch……"
The fallen black shadow suddenly uttered, and some villagers were startled, "Is this a living person?"
I went over and saw it with a bold look, but I knew it, "It's Liu Jia."
Liu Jia is a businessman. He came yesterday morning and bought a few pieces of tofu.
It's good to be a living person!
Yang Zhongshun relaxed, then asked with a stern face: "Why can you leave the city when you live in the city?"
The layout of many cities in the Tang Dynasty was fang. What is fang? It is a residential area surrounded by walls. When later generations heard this, they would definitely feel familiar with it, and then blurted out: Isn’t this a community?
Yes, brothers, you are right. Datang’s yard is actually a closed-door community. Like a fort, the yard gate will be closed when the time comes. Don’t think of any urgent matters.
But how did Liu Jia come out?
Could it be...what is there any evil? Is it a crime?
Yang Zhongshun felt a stern heart, reached out and swung his hand behind him a few times, and then shouted, "Why are you here?"
Several Ding Zhuang came over with a cold face and prepared to take Liu Jia off.
If you win such a person who violated the ban, you will have some rewards in the county.
Liu Jia touched the place where he fell and said, "I came yesterday afternoon and was napping outside."
This is premeditated, what do you want to do?
Yang Zhongshun shouted, "Who do you want to find?"
In his opinion, Liu Jia is probably a ill-inducing love. If he dares to lie, he will take it off on the spot.
Liu Jia was bleeding from his nose. He raised his head and said, "I want to see Jia Ping'an."
Yang Zhongshun was stunned, "You have been waiting outside all night just to see Jia Ping'an's broom star?"
He felt that he was afraid he had heard it wrong.
Liu Jia sniffed his nose, feeling very uncomfortable, "Yes! If it's convenient, go in now."
Yang Zhongshun shook his head and kindly persuaded him: "That's... a broom star."
Liu Jia still nodded, "Yes! I know."
"Someone is here!" Ding Zhuang pointed ahead and shouted.
Everyone looked at it and saw several riders galloping towards them.
It is five miles away from the county town, so these people must have arrived at the rush.
"Liu Jia, you shameless person, look at it, look at his body being wet with dew. It can be seen that he was squatting all night and wanted to eat white jade tofu alone, shameless!"
"I brought a lot of copper coins today, no one can think of taking advantage of the benefits alone!"
"What are you saying so much? Where is Mr. Jia?"
Several businessmen were shouting, and Yang Zhongshun felt that his views were subverted.
For the tofu made by Jia Ping'an, Liu Jia could actually stay outside Yangjiawu overnight. You should know that although it is May now, the dew is heavy at night. If Liu Jia doesn't get it right, he will get seriously ill if he gets it back.
And these merchants must have been guarding the gate of Zhengxian County early, waiting for the gate to open and coming quickly.
So crazy!
"Aren't you afraid of... broom star?" He felt that he was Muramasa, and at least he had to fulfill his obligation to remind him, so as not to cause trouble when these people were defeated.
A businessman is born to seek the relationship between the government and protect his business. If they join forces, it would be impossible for Yang Zhongshun to suffer a great loss.
Several businessmen looked at him, a little stunned, as if they were looking at a fool.
"What are you afraid of? Why should you be afraid?"
"Jia Langjun, I'm waiting!"
The shouts of the merchants were so affectionate that they couldn't help but touched.
"Tofu is coming soon." Yang Deli's voice came from afar. The merchants were so excited that they took out their wallets and exchanged glances with each other.
Yang Deli came with two large wooden barrels, full of tofu. When he saw the merchants, he couldn't help but say happily: "Ping is peace. He said you will definitely come when you wait, sure enough!"
Jia Ping'an was behind. After yawning, he saw Liu Jia rushing towards him with blood on his face, which was very terrifying.
But when he was halfway through, Liu Jia was worried that he would be unlucky when he bumped into the broom star, so he forced himself to stop and fell to the ground.
After Liu Jia fled, he raised his head and raised his hand and shouted, "Jia Langjun, for the sake of being guarded outside the fort gate yesterday afternoon, give me some more pieces of tofu."
Liu Jia has a few rich customers. Yesterday someone ate tofu and said it was excellent, but the others were not happy. He said that Liu Jia is not authentic, why don’t you sell tofu to me?
If this kind of behavior of favoring one and the other is not changed, those rich people will abandon him when they look back. So let alone the broom star, even if there is a ghost in Yangjiawu, he will have to come. As for squatting, he just wants to take it alone.
Now that the dream he has been solely shattered, he just wants to ask for a few more dollars.
Seeing this, Jia Ping'an couldn't help but feel relieved, and then said in a deep voice: "So... I'll give you five more dollars today, but this preferential treatment will be gone tomorrow."
Those businessmen were dissatisfied, but they just gave it up when they heard that they only had a one-day preferential treatment.
"Thank you, Langjun Jia!" Liu Jia immediately resurrected from the spot with full blood and took out his purse to deliver it.
"I only need tofu, how many are there?"
The merchants had a dispute and later snatched the tofu and threw several wallets off the ground. Then they began to pray with a pious look on their faces.
"The Buddha blesses someone to avoid being beaten by the broom star, and turn around and add more incense."
"The blessings of the infinite Heavenly Lord, the Taoist Lord is mighty, please bless someone with peace and nothing."
“…”
Yang Deli put the wallet away, put it in a wooden barrel, and picked it up, feeling a little heavy.
Get rich! Get rich!
He turned around with joy and saw the shocked villagers.
The broom star actually made a fortune?
...
Thanks to book friend: 8000banshee's leader for the reward.
