Before Xiao Yuan left, he went to see the cow, and then told Dr. Lu Zhou Man, "I'll leave the cow to you. We'll come over in two days."
Man Bao and Doctor Lu nodded in agreement.
After Xiao Yuanzheng and others were sent away, Doctor Lu turned to look at Zhou Man.
Man Bao looked at him with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"
Doctor Lu said calmly: "Do you know how much an egg purchased by the steward costs?"
Man Bao thought for a moment and guessed: "Three pennies?"
It’s twice as expensive as eggs in Luojiang County at their most expensive time. This price should be reliable, right?
Dr. Lu, "No, it started out as five cents per piece, but now it has risen to six cents. I heard that eggs in the capital are now very difficult to buy."
Man Bao's eyes widened and he became energetic, "How much money is this?"
She tried hard to recall the account book she had read not long ago, which also showed the income from selling eggs. It had been agreed that the villagers would raise half of their chickens, including not only chickens but also eggs.
But she only remembered the total amount of money for selling chickens and eggs, not how many eggs and chickens were sold.
Dr. Lu glanced at her, snorted with disdain and said: "Don't think about it, if you sell it, it will definitely not be at this price. Didn't you see that the manager was so guilty that he broke out in a cold sweat? Don't say five cents, I'm afraid even four cents
I can’t even sell it for money.”
Man Bao: ...I just patronize and recommend their agricultural and sideline products, why should I pay attention to this?
However, Manbao still wrote a letter and asked Jiulan to deliver it to the guard post and ask someone to write the letter home.
Even if the price is not so high, it is still good to sell it and make a fortune.
Huangzhuang is not far from the city, and the people guarding it are the imperial guards. Today Yin You came to see her off in person, so she still has some face. Although the steward of Huangzhuang wanted to stop the letter, the imperial guards still
Someone was sent to deliver a letter to the Zhou family.
The letter was delivered directly to Bai Shan.
While opening the letter, he asked curiously: "Why did you come back after delivering the letter for only a day and a half?"
Bai Erlang chuckled, "Do I miss you?"
Bai Shan glanced at him and said, "When do you plan to go back to Chongwen Hall to study?"
He said: "I didn't go because I had to prepare for the exams of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Huan didn't go because he had to prepare for the Ming Jing exam. Why didn't you go?"
Bai Erlang: "Isn't Yin also going?"
"He is not in good health."
Bai Erlang snorted and said, "That's not true. It's obviously because you all didn't go and he felt bored and didn't go."
He said: "I don't want to go either? Yi Ziyang has become an official, and Feng Zongping has also asked for leave. Zhao Liulang is the only one I can get along with in the entire Chongwen Hall, but I don't like to play many of the things he likes to play, so go
It’s so boring.”
Bai Shan just wanted to block his mouth and didn't really let him go to school. Seeing him nagging non-stop? But he finally stopped holding him and Man Bao? He read the letter with peace of mind.
It wasn't until I opened the letter that I realized it wasn't for him.
So he picked up the envelope and took a look at it, and found that no one accepted it. There was only Man Bao's signature, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Have you opened the letter? He simply opened it and read it again, then folded the letter and said, "Let's go find Brother Wu."
Friday Lang is not at home? In the restaurant.
Bai Shan and the others walked all the way over. It was the busiest time in the restaurant. There were people waiting to eat inside and outside. Liu Lang and the chef he invited led the kitchen workers to cook in the kitchen. Guys
Serving food in and out.
When San Tou and Si Tou came back from school, they took off their Confucian shirts, put on homely clothes, and then followed the waiter to greet the guests and serve food.
Bai Shan also saw Daji's second son Bai Shuping. He was also running with a plate of vegetables. He nimbly avoided the customers who were constantly moving around. He accurately placed it on a table and shouted with full charm: "Steamed pork with rice flour."
A bowl? A piece of roasted fish, can you take a look?"
Wu Wulang was checking out at the counter and was doing the calculation. He was not as fast as Zhou Lijun, but he was about the same as an ordinary accounting clerk.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang stayed for a while and then went over to lean on the counter.
Wu Lang was a little slow in calculation? He said without raising his head: "Wait a moment, which table number are you at?"
When I looked up, I saw Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, their eyes brightened, "Why are you here? Come on, come on, come and help me pay for the meal, there will be more people paying and leaving soon."
Bai Shan saw the menus on the table, with the name of the dish and the price on it, and the table number at the top. It was very clear. Even if they didn't know much about the dishes in the restaurant, they could calculate them accurately.
Bai Shan took over and said: "Brother Wu Wu, Man Bao wrote you a letter."
After that, he handed the letter to him.
Wu Lang can't write many words, but he can recognize a lot of them. He belongs to the long-term stage of being able to read, read, and write.
He looked at it word by word, overjoyed, "The eggs in Huangzhuang are so expensive?"
Bai Shan: "...Fifth brother, you didn't understand Man Bao's meaning. Man Bao said that there was a steward at Huangzhuang who falsely reported prices, so Xiao Yuanzheng wanted to see you."
Wu Lang calmed down a little, "Oh, let me tell you, the eggs outside are usually two cents each. The more expensive ones, three cents are just as high as the sky. Why is it written so expensive on the Manbao letter?"
Someone came to pay the bill. Bai Shan found out the menu for their table and handed it to Bai Erlang. After asking him to settle the bill, he talked to Wu Lang behind the counter, "Are there many eggs in Zhuangzi?"
Wu Lang thought for a while and then said: "You have to ask Li Zhong, but it should be a lot. At the beginning of last year, we added a lot of chickens to them. We sold a batch of roosters and hens that didn't lay much eggs, but I remember
There are also quite a few egg-laying hens left.”
Bai Shan said, "Then go and see Xiao Yuanzheng. In addition to eggs, we also have meat, chicken, pork, and vegetables. We can also talk about it."
He smiled and said: "Now that we've talked, let's talk about it on a bigger scale. Later, prepare some of everything and send it to them. Let them see the finished product to make it easier to talk."
Wu Lang asked: "What's the price?"
Bai Shan asked him, "What do fifth brothers think?"
Wu Lang said: "Give it to them at a lower price than the market price. Now you don't have to worry about selling eggs. They are usually sold in bulk for two cents each. It's not uncommon for big ones to sell for three cents. This is indispensable, but other
But I can give them less things.”
Bai Shan nodded, "Fifth brother is used to shopping. He should be more familiar with this than us, so you can make your own decision."
Zhou Wulang was a little strange, "Aren't Manbao and the others in Huangzhuang? I heard that there is a large area of land there, and it is all good land. The water in the moat comes from there. How come there is still a shortage of vegetables, meat and eggs?"
Bai Shandao: "That's His Majesty's Zhuangzi. This time it's the imperial hospital's procurement. The two are separate. Even if the people living there want to eat vegetables from the imperial village, they have to go through the purchasing manager first."
Yes. Only in this way can the income and expenditure be properly calculated. Otherwise, if they are internally confused, their accounts will also be messed up, and it will be bad if they don’t reconcile them when the quarterly accounts are calculated.”
