The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 Preserved Egg Raiders
"Mother, Jing'er is full." Xuan Shijing put down the spoon and said to Wang: "Jing'er is going to the study, mother and Daoist Sun have a slow chat."

"Go." Wang looked at Xuan Shijing gently.

"Long'er, let's go." Xuan Shijing took Long'er back to the study. The matter about preserved eggs should be implemented before the end of the year. Taking advantage of the Chinese New Year, the market for preserved eggs may have better results.

In the study, Xuan Shijing sat cross-legged on the cushion.

"Long'er, come and sit, I have some things to tell you to do." Xuan Shijing greeted Long'er, motioning her to sit opposite her.

Long'er Shi Shiran walked up to Xuan Shijing and knelt on the mat.Looking at Xuan Shijing timidly: "Does the young master have any orders?"

"I said Long'er, what kind of expression do you have, you are afraid that I will eat you up." Xuan Shijing looked at Long'er, a little dumbfounded.

"Young Lord, it's a big night..." Long'er hesitated to speak.

"What are you thinking, let's get down to business, Long'er, let me ask you, are there any eggs in our house?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Eggs? Yes." Long'er didn't understand, why did her little lord ask this: "Does the little lord want to eat it? Long'er will make it for you." After speaking, she stood up.

"Sit down!" Xuan Shijing said, "Why are you running? Besides eggs, do we have ashes in our house?"

"Yes, because at the end of the year, some walls in the house need to be cleaned up again, so Butler Zhong bought some back, and they are not used up, and they are still piled up in the woodshed." Long'er sat down and said.

"Long'er, help me with something. If it succeeds, Long'er, you will be a great hero of the Hou family." Xuan Shijing looked at Long'er solemnly.

Seeing Xuan Shijing's small face tense, Long'er didn't know why, and felt hairy in her heart, and said timidly: "Master Hou, what's the matter, Long'er will do his best."

"Long'er, when I went to Zhuangzi this time, I accidentally found a way to make money. You know better than me how poor our Hou's mansion is now. Seeing that the end of the year is coming, it is indispensable to move around in various mansions. You said this year The expense of the ceremony is a large sum of money, and the gift is too light. You say that we are a Marquis's mansion anyway, so we lose face, right? Therefore, this matter is related to the future income of our Marquis's mansion. The quality of life of all the people in our Marquis Mansion has been improved."

When Long'er heard this, it was okay, it was a big deal, and she swore: "Young Lord, if you have anything to do, just tell me, and Long'er will die!" Home away from home.

"Calm down, it's not a big deal, Long'er, go find a jar, sprinkle white ash, plant ash or something, then bury the eggs in it, seal the mouth, open it after a while, get a few more jars, it's best to The amount of lime in each jar makes it different. You record how much lime and eggs you put in each jar. It will be of great use in the future. If there are not enough eggs or lime, you can go to Butler Zhong and ask for it. I told you to move the jar to my study after you finish it." Xuan Shijing said: "Remember, don't tell anyone about this matter, it must be kept secret, if others listen to it, our money will be lost. Can't make money."

Long'er nodded heavily: "Understood, Young Master, Long'er must keep his mouth shut. Long'er will go to the kitchen to fetch eggs and finish what the Young Master ordered."

"Well, let's go." Xuan Shijing smiled and watched Long'er out of the study.

The production of preserved eggs is on the agenda, but how can they be sold just by making them?Xuan Shijing picked up the writing brush on the pen stand. .The Tang Dynasty emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, but Xungui's own business is well known in Chang'an, but no one put it on the table, Xuan Shijing thought, other Xungui's family is looking for a side The children of the Pond family will take care of the family's property, where can the family find the children of the Pond family. .

I was thinking about it here, I might as well ask someone to ask, Xuan Shijing put down the brush, and shouted to the door: "Come here."

After a while, the bookboy pushed open the door of the study and walked in.

"What is the order of the young master?"

"Go and find Butler Zhong." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." The book boy took the order and left the study.

Xuan Shijing leaned on his chin, people can ask Zhong Zishuo, if you want to sell preserved eggs for a good price, you have to read the publicity first, and second, you have to rely on the packaging. Look at the various packaging of later generations, all of them are enough Human eyeball, packaging. .Xuan Shijing's eyes brightened, by the way, it is possible to open a shop in Chang'an City, selling some high-end gifts and so on.

What does it mean to be brilliant is to be able to sell an ordinary preserved egg for a good price and make money, that is ability.Xuan Shijing couldn't help but secretly proud of herself. If a dignified 21st century time traveler was in Datang and worried about money, he would be too sorry for studying hard for more than ten years and then running thousands of miles.

Pick up the pen and start to write and draw on the paper. The packaging of this preserved egg needs to be well designed. .

"Fuck!" Xuan Shijing cursed secretly, threw down the brush, crumpled up the half-drawn drawings and threw them on the ground: "The printing process of Datang, no matter how beautiful the drawings are, it is useless, it is better to ask someone to provide them." Two words are more affordable." Xuan Shijing sighed, forget it, it's better not to make so many bells and whistles, just a few preserved eggs, not to mention, if it is too delicate, it will not only lose the preserved eggs themselves value, but also increase production costs ah.

The promotion aspect is much simpler. It will not be the Chinese New Year soon. Xuan Shijing must go to the mansions of the princes with good relations. When the time comes, bring a basket of preserved eggs and everything will be fine. There is a grand court meeting. Although my county marquis is young, he still has to attend the grand court meeting. In the past, Xuan Shijing would attend this grand court meeting with Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin. According to his title, it is not enough to sit in the Duke's seat. In the queue, he was brought by the two princes just because of his age. Speaking of this, there was a censor who participated in a book by Qin Qiong and Cheng Yaojin, and His Majesty Li Er severely scolded him. went back.

This year's Chinese New Year, as in previous years, will go to pay New Year greetings to His Majesty Li Er and the Empress, and bring some preserved eggs, but the preserved eggs must be prepared and brought directly to the palace. One His Majesty Li Er and the Queen Niangniang, this is more useful than many princes.At that time, we can make an idea of ​​the emperor's banquet after the first court meeting.

The people in the study were pushed away, and Zhong Zishuo walked in: "Young Master, you are looking for me."

"Uncle Zhong, sit down." Xuan Shijing signaled Zhong Zishuo to sit down: "Uncle Zhong, do you know any other relatives in our family?"

"Young Lord, why do you ask this?" Zhong Zisuo was puzzled: "If you talk about relatives, there really is such a person, but the relationship is not very good on weekdays, and I don't have much contact with each other. There is no news from there for a long time, Xiaohou. If you don’t ask me today, I wouldn’t even remember that there is such a person.”

"Oh? Why is this?" Xuan Shijing asked: "Our family is also considered to be small in number. Since there are such relatives, why have I never met them?"

"Young Master, I don't know, this collateral is none other than your cousin, named Xuan Lindao."
