As for the trivial details such as one pound of coal can make 2-3 briquettes, there is no need to explain it clearly to Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu gave Handu a satisfied snort, put the briquettes back casually, patted the coal shavings on his hands, and continued to ask: "Were there many people who bought so much at that time?"
Hearing this, shopkeeper Gao hesitated for a moment, and when Han Du didn't answer, he said truthfully: "To let the guest know, when people buy briquettes, they usually buy a hundred or hundreds, or even a thousand.
There are so few of them, even if you buy tens of thousands of them at a time, no one is buying so many now."
"oh?"
Lao Zhu snorted in confusion, but he immediately understood after thinking about it. After all, if ordinary people buy tens of thousands of briquettes at a time, how long will they last? And the prices are not much different, each one is half the difference.
Just money.
If it were Lao Zhu himself, he wouldn't buy too much at one time. Anyway, the price difference is not big, and it's not impossible to buy. It's reasonable to use a little to buy a little.
"Where's the coal stove? Where is it?" Lao Zhu glared at Han Du and wanted to go and take a look at the coal stove. Suddenly he realized that his tone seemed a bit inappropriate, so he coughed dryly and said to the shopkeeper Gao pleasantly: "
Shopkeeper, don't mind, I want to see the coal stove again, is it convenient?"
Shopkeeper Gao looked at everything that just happened. The old man in front of him didn't have a very good attitude towards Han Dong's family, and it could be seen from what he just said. The old man's commanding tone was condescending to Han Dong's family, but he
Dong Han's family didn't dare to feel dissatisfied at all. What is the identity of this old man?
Suddenly coming back to his senses and seeing the old man waiting for his words, shopkeeper Gao quickly said: "Okay, okay."
After saying that, he led Lao Zhu over.
Making a coal stove is not complicated either. Just make a clay embryo just like making pottery and put it in the kiln to bake. Moreover, the material used to make a coal stove is not even clay, but loess that can be seen everywhere. At the beginning, Han Du chose loess.
When making coal stoves, what I like most is how cheap it is. It's so cheap that you don't even have to spend money to buy it. If you want to use it, you can just dig it out of the ground.
The loess is mixed with some sand, coal ash and other messy things. After shaping, it is put into the kiln and burned. After it is fully burned, the kiln can be opened and taken out.
The coal stove is divided into two parts: the outer shell and the inner tank. Both parts can be fired with loess. The gap between the inner tank and the outer shell can also be filled with slag after burning pebbles or directly with loess.
After filling, use a little bit of cement mortar to install the fire door that controls the fire power. A durable coal stove is ready. The coal stove is simple to make and the materials are cheap. It can be said to be the best value for money.
A model of cheap and good quality.
Lao Zhu not only looked at the outer shell and inner pot, but also saw the entire process of combining them into a coal stove, and finally asked: "How much do you sell this coal stove for?"
After hearing this, Lao Zhu frowned and said dissatisfied: "This thing is not complicated at all, and it can be made with loess. Isn't it too expensive for fifty cents a piece?"
Shopkeeper Gao was about to retort, fifty cents is not expensive...
Han Du on the side opened his mouth and suppressed shopkeeper Gao's words.
"Then how much does Mr. Huang think it should be sold for?" Han Du bowed and smiled carefully.
"Oh," Lao Zhu thought for a while, then said after a moment of silence: "In my opinion, three... no, selling for twenty cents is appropriate."
Shopkeeper Gao's eyes widened when he heard this. Good guy. Briquettes cost three cents each, but this coal stove only sells for twenty cents? Less than ten briquettes?
I've seen people bargain hard, but I've never seen anyone so cruel. It's not like shopkeeper Gao was looking at Han Du. I guessed that this old man's identity was not simple. Shopkeeper Gao was about to curse.
But when Han Du heard the price given by Lao Zhu, the smile on his face did not change at all. He nodded with a smile and replied: "Okay, as Master Huang said, twenty coins is twenty coins."
Lao Zhu didn't expect Han Du to answer so cleanly and neatly. He looked at Han Du in surprise and saw that he didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He suddenly felt embarrassed and thought that I had gone too far.
Lao Zhu did not doubt that he could still make money at the price of 20 cents. It was definitely not possible to make money at such a price, and he might even lose money. No one needed to tell Lao Zhu, he just needed to see
The way shopkeeper Gao behind Han Du jumped anxiously showed that.
"You are good," Lao Zhu praised Han Du again, looking at Han Du bleeding profusely.
I don't know why, but the more Lao Zhu saw Shopkeeper Gao jumping around anxiously, the more joyful he felt in his heart, and the more fun he looked at Han Du.
"Money is something that you can't bring with you in life, and you can't take it with you in death. Why do you take it so seriously? Just stop it in moderation." Lao Zhu sighed and wanted to use the sages' noble attitude towards money to influence them.
Handu.
Han Du curled his lips in his heart, haha, 'If you don't bring it alive, you won't take it away with you when you die?' That's a really good thing to say. But if Han Du remembers correctly, someone was worrying about the emptiness of his treasury some time ago. Buy it yourself
Several mines made some people's eyes turn red. It wasn't until half of them were taken from their hands that the red light in their eyes slowly faded away.
As expected, people are lenient to themselves and strict to others.
The words of the sages are only suitable for speaking to others. Very few people will use the words of the sages to warn themselves.
However, Han Du did not dare to express the slightest opinion on this. Instead, he immediately agreed with Lao Zhu's words, "What Mr. Huang said is true. I will keep it in mind."
Lao Zhu nodded and looked at Han Du with a teachable expression.
After reading everything he wanted to see, he had achieved what he wanted to achieve, and he also lectured Han Du. Lao Zhu had no intention of staying here anymore, so he waved and called the old eunuch over. He got in the car and drove.
Shi Shiran then left.
This time Lao Zhu doesn’t have to take Han Du with him.
Han Du stood there and watched Lao Zhu drive away.
Shopkeeper Gao on the side was still nagging in Han Du's ear, "Boss, the price of 20 cents for this coal stove is too low. We can't make any money at all. How could you agree to it out of hand?"
After Han Du saw that Lao Zhu's car could no longer be seen, he turned around this time, patted shopkeeper Gao's stooped body, and said with a smile: "Look at how anxious you are, even if we sell it for twenty cents, we won't lose money, right?"
"
"Losing money, that's not a problem. But we don't have much profit anymore, so we think it's all in vain." Shopkeeper Gao spread his hands and said helplessly.
