The Jun family raised the price to receive goods, and Huo Xi followed suit with a small increase, but no matter how much the price increased, the price was still a penny less than the Jun family.
It looked like the Jun family had made it impossible for her to receive the goods. They raised the price too high and she suffered a loss.
But if we don’t raise the price and we can’t receive the goods, there will be no work for the many workshops we have opened.
It's really a helpless move.
It's like being held on fire by the Jun family. I can't get up, and I can't get back down.
Jun Mingzhang looked at it as if it was a joke. Seeing that Huo Xi's prices were rising, he also raised the price penny by penny. It was nothing more than a joke.
It looks like I just don't want to make things easy for you. I just want to see if you can't receive the goods. I'll make you so anxious that your mouth will blister, your eyebrows will burn, your throat will burn, and you still won't be able to kill me.
Huo Xi's show of weakness greatly satisfied Jun Mingzhang's desire to suppress Huo Xi and push the couple into the mud.
"Hahaha, okay, let's beat her. Whenever she raises the price, we will follow the increase. We don't need to increase it too much, just make a profit! Hahaha... I don't know what she will do. Fight with me. I don't know.
How much money can I waste?"
Mr. and Mrs. Jun have been eating fungi these days until their noses bleed, and the whole family eats them until they vomit. Not to mention seeing the fungi, just hearing the fungi makes their stomachs churn.
"Zhang'er, you collected so many fungi, have you ever thought about how to dispose of them?"
Nowadays, mushrooms are sold at sky-high prices. The people who pick mushrooms outside are all so rich that they are laughing so hard that they are so rich. The servants in the house are eager to go out to look for mushrooms.
The flowers in the garden will all go bald if no one is looking at them.
"Eat, if you can't finish it, give it away. There are many people in our clan, so we will send some to each in-law. Select the ones and send them away. Don't ruin our family's reputation." Jun Mingzhang didn't care at all.
Are you still concerned about our family’s reputation?
Old Mrs. Jun was so worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, "Even if I give them away, I can't give them all. Zhang'er, do you know how many fungus petals we have collected in our shop? There is no room for them in the shop, so they are all sent to the house, and there is no room in the house to store them.
.”
"If they can't be packed, they will be dried and sold in the sun. They will be sold to Fanbu and the Western Regions. They can only walk cattle and sheep to graze. It is difficult for them to eat vegetables. There are too many mushrooms for them to chew! Don't worry about selling. The flowers are dried.
Give a portion to the women in the house, and a portion to each place, so that they can use it for bathing every day. It smells so good, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. If there is any leftover, wouldn't Zhang have opened a workshop to make sauce?
What kind of soap do you want to make? Only she can find the master, but our Jun family can’t find it? Let’s look for it too!”
The old couple looked at each other. The son had not left the house since his leg was broken, for fear of not knowing how much goods he had received.
Those cotton, linen, silkworm cocoons and the like can be used in cloth shops, but the prices are getting higher and higher, so I'm afraid it won't be a problem. With only flowers and fungi, if I can't think of a way, I'm afraid I'll have to choose Zhuangzi.
It's full of fat.
"Zhang'er, we don't have to be angry with that Zhang. She's doing her business, so we don't have to go against her. Instead, we will enrich those untouchables outside..."
"No!" Jun Mingzhang shouted.
"Mu Yan broke both of my legs. As long as I live, I won't let him have an easy time! Now he is leading the army at the border. I can't cure him, and I can't cure his mother-in-law. Women don't know how high the sky is, so they just want to do business in Yunnan and gain fame.
, I don’t even look at how many pounds I have!”
Jun Mingzhang refused to listen, so Mrs. Jun and his wife had no choice but to retreat with frowns, "Send someone to the Duke's Mansion to see Qiluo and see what instructions she has."
"That's fine."
Just as he was about to send someone to see Jun Qiluo, Jun Mingzhang's eldest son came over.
"Grandparents, grandparents, and aunt, it is best not to send anyone. If people see it, they will think that it was done under aunt's instructions, which will be detrimental to the reputation of aunt and two cousins."
Old Mrs. Jun came to his senses, "Yes, yes, you can't go, you can't go. This is between us and that Zhang family. Don't get involved with your aunt. It will ruin the reputation of your aunt and your cousin. Ruoxu is right."
"But...grandson, tell me, your father has sent people to collect so many goods, what are you going to do with them? Grandma and your grandfather don't want to eat fungi anymore."
Not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Jun, but also Jun Ruoxu, whenever he hears about fungi, he feels sick.
"This is my dad's instruction. Let's stop now. On the one hand, dad won't agree. Secondly, I didn't show weakness in front of Mrs. Zhang, thinking that I'm afraid of her. Now I can only imitate her and see
Let’s see if there are any good sauce-making masters or paste-making masters among the people, so we’ll invite them over and open a workshop.”
Seeing that the two of them were noncommittal, he advised: "My grandson has understood it. If the soap is added with various flowers and has various fragrances, I am afraid that not only the Fan tribe and the countries in the southwest of the Western Region will like it, but we will also sell it to the East and the West."
He's going to be robbed."
I heard that the Zhang family has a large ship to go overseas. The Jun family is currently only doing business with the Yi tribes in the southwest. If they can have more things to sell, they may be able to make money overseas.
"Can this happen?"
Mrs. Jun and his wife felt that it was a bit unreliable. They compared the goods received and offered a high price. Even if it could be made, how much would it cost to sell it to recover the cost?
"Grandpa and grandma, don't worry. We have an advantage over the Zhang family. She just came here, so she can't find someone to help us. And now we have all the goods. Even if we can't open the workshop in the future, we can pay back the goods wherever we go."
Don't you want to buy it from us? We won't lose money if we resell it then."
That seems to be the case.
So Huo Xi raised a penny, and the Jun family raised another penny, so that the city of Kunming actually saw unprecedented prosperity, with small merchants and sellers coming and going incessantly.
The common people who carry heavy loads on their shoulders and wait in line to sell goods in the city form long queues at the four city gates early in the morning.
Many people who were not lucky, and people from nearby states and counties, came over the mountains and ridges, and arrived at the city gate before dawn, the dew on their bodies had not yet dissipated.
The few soldiers guarding the city gate have been lax in collecting city fees these days. They are also stuffed with various local products. Their pockets are bulging.
So much so that every day, the soldiers almost got into a fight over who should be sent to guard the city gate.
As for Huo Xi, after raising the price for several days, they began to take action.
He found loyal servants, buddies, and family members from the military household, and guarded him ten miles outside the city every morning.
"Collect the fungi, collect the flowers..."
"I'm not going to lie to you. You should have come all the way here because you know that the city collects mushrooms and flowers, right? You also know the price, right? Look, it's only twenty-five cents for you to deliver it to the city. We
The charge is also twenty-five, the price is the same. You have to pay an entry fee when you go into the city. There are so many things, even if you pay one cent per kilogram, how much do you have to pay for so many things? Selling it to us saves you the trouble of picking it out, right?
?”
"Why did we do this? We suffered a loss? Yes, we suffered a loss, but you don't know that the Jun family in the city and the Crown Prince's wife were fighting, so that we small merchants had no business, so we had to find ways to go further away to collect. They have
We are so powerful that we can't fight them, so we have to go outside the city to avoid the sharp edges. Don't mention us when you enter the city, we won't recognize it..."
It's also pitiful. It makes the common people sigh. These people have it harder than they do.
"Sell it or not, at the same price as in the city?"
"Sell! Whoever sells it is not selling. If I sell it to you, we can go back early to pick more fungi and flowers."
So the people who came into the city early came to sell goods with their burdens...
