Chapter 339 My sister teaches you
Turning rice should be able to make money, right? For some reason, Wen Jiuxiao suddenly lost confidence. However, he is calm, and he never loses his footing when there is no final conclusion.
It’s actually only two days’ journey to the next county seat. Once settled, Yu Zhi arranged for people to work. Some went to inquire about local prices, some to sell defective muslin, and some to sell oranges.
Fine cloth is so expensive that even ordinary people in the city are reluctant to buy it. They can buy a few feet at most to make close-fitting clothes for the children in the family. The batch of defective muslin that Yu Zhi got was just stained with water. Rich people are not short of money, so naturally they would not lower their status to buy such cloth.
But ordinary people don't mind, even if the dyeing is not good, it is fine cloth. Usually it costs hundreds of Wen to make a fine cloth dress, but now it only costs 199 Wen to pull a whole body of cloth, and children only need 99 Wen. This price is acceptable to everyone. The common people don’t pay attention to those bells and whistles. Affordable products are the first choice. The muslin is so soft, it’s comfortable and looks good to wear.
What's more, if you buy fabrics for five adults, you will get a suit of fabrics for children. Now that every family has a large population, it is still possible to make a fine cloth dress for each person in the family. This directly saves 99 cash ah! Even if a family can't afford five pieces of fabric, can't they find someone to buy it together? Half of the fabric given away can also be used to make a pair of trousers or tops for the children in the family, which is a good deal!
The most indispensable thing for Yu Zhi is manpower. The four carts of fabrics are divided into four stalls. Some are responsible for cutting fabrics, some are responsible for collecting money, and some are responsible for watching the stalls so that people don’t walk along the fabrics.
Good guy, the fabrics of the four major carts were sold out in one afternoon. Everyone was holding heavy cash boxes, and everyone was beaming.
Wen Jiuxiao, who came over halfway, looked at the people who were scrambling for the defective cloth around him, and he was in a bad mood. He had no expression on his face, but there was a little confusion in his dark starry eyes. Can the fine cloth that has passed the water be sold? Still so popular? He knew the purchase price of this batch of fine cloth, and after a little calculation, he knew that it must be profitable. As for how much you can earn, it's hard to say.
After returning to the inn, when Wen Jiuxiao learned that the batch of fabrics had made a total of forty taels of silver, he felt incredible. Obviously, this batch of fabrics can only be backlogged in the warehouse at the original owner and sold, but no one buys them. Throwing, but also reluctant. Obviously, the selling price of Yu Zhi is not high, so how can he earn so much money?
Wen Jiuxiao couldn't quite figure it out.
The man who went out to sell oranges also came back, and the oranges made more money. After deducting the cost, he made a profit of one hundred and ten taels of silver. Of course, the reason why you earn more is because the cost is low. Picking by yourself, and half selling and half giving away, isn't the profit in the middle high?
Oranges are not sold in bulk, because it takes too much time to sell in bulk. Yu Zhi sent people to a local wealthy family to sell them. The oranges she made were big and sweet. As long as they were good, the wealthy family didn’t care about the price. The family kept a few hundred catties, and two thousand catties would be sold out quickly.
The remaining ones are small and not in good condition, so there is no need to sell them. Just leave them for everyone to eat. Her boss is still very generous.
Yu Zhi asked people to exchange the copper plates for whole ingots of silver. Wen Jiuxiao watched his Zhizhi earn money, and thought of his unsold one thousand catties of rice, and fell silent.
It's not that he doesn't want to sell, but the price of rice at the local rice shop is a penny lower than his purchase price. If he sells it, he will lose money.
Yu Zhi also knew that Wen Jiuxiao's rice was not sold. As for the reason, is that unclear? So, he didn't say anything, and she wisely didn't ask a word, but told Pomegranate and the others to buy something tomorrow, and the price should not exceed the price. Not enough manpower, even Qingfeng was requisitioned.
Wen Jiuxiao had the same doubts as Qingfeng, but he didn't show it, "Young madam has her own reasons, just follow orders."
Arriving at the next state capital, Yu Zhi's one thousand wine jars were damaged, but less than twenty were damaged, but they were sold smoothly. The profit was not much, but there was still ten taels of silver. It was sold to a wine making workshop. In fact, this workshop ordered a wine jar before, but it was tricked and cut off. Yu Zhi's batch of wine jars can be regarded as a solution to their urgent needs.
Qingfeng was stunned, how did the young lady know that this practice happened to be short of wine jars? Could it be that she can pinch and count?
In short, Wen Jiuxiao's rice still hasn't been sold, and none of Yu Zhi's buying and selling has lost money. The servants and guards admired Yu Zhi's ability very much.
In particular, those who had spare money also threw in the silver, and they all drank the broth. They looked at Yu Zhi as if they were looking at the God of Wealth. She leaned forward, hoping to learn a little bit, haven't you seen the maids around the young lady? The posture of talking about business with people, tsk tsk, has a lot of momentum.
For a while, more wolves stared at the maid beside Yu Zhi.
"Let's keep the rice for eating." Wen Jiuxiao has completely given up. Everywhere he goes, he actively goes to the rice store to inquire about the price of rice. Either it is lower than his purchase price, or it is the same as his purchase price. After all, it is not easy. When I met a high one, it was only one penny high.
A penny! That is to say, he can earn one thousand Wen or one tael of silver for this thousand catties of rice. It took a lot of effort to transport it so far to earn a tael of silver, which was not enough for the labor costs of carriages and horses. Forget it, don't sell it, keep it for eating.
Wen Jiuxiao has to admit that he is really not good for business, and in this respect, he is really inferior to Zhizhi. He is not inferior, he is not as good as Zhi Zhi, why is his wife better than him? He is proud! Marrying such a powerful daughter-in-law, who can compare to him?
Yu Zhi leaned on Wen Jiuxiao and giggled, "Want to know the secret of my business? Come, my sister will teach you." She hooked her finger on his chin, like a seductive fairy.
Wen Jiuxiao grabbed her hand and bit it, "Sister? That's not what you said last night."
Yu Zhi immediately sat up straight, coughed solemnly, and said, "What is the most important thing in doing business? It's news. Didn't you notice that every time I go, I ask people to go out to inquire about news? Those who go into business, they often Traveling all over the world, chatting with them, you can find out the prices of various places from their mouths. Of course, I actually cheated this way. Third master, didn't you realize that He Xiaodie is not by my side?"
Wen Jiuxiao said: "I thought you sent her to do something."
Yu Zhi smiled, "I did send her out to do some errands. She walked ahead of us and inquired about the prices in the next town in advance, what was missing, and when Fei Ge sent the letter back, wouldn't I buy the goods accurately?" She said. Smiling smugly.
"I didn't see you received the letter."
Yu Zhi blinked innocently, "I confiscated it. Master He Xiaodie took it. Teachers and apprentices have their own ways of sending letters. She took it and sent it to me."
After learning and hearing, Yu Zhi went on teaching again, telling all his experience, and finally said: "The theory still needs to be practiced. Parents and officials in any place you have have to understand and care about the local people's livelihood. If you know more, you can Lead the common people to live a good life, and you won’t be fooled by the people below. So, you below should practice more.”
