People in Datang, start with a golden hoe

Chapter 73 073: Buying Soybeans

Cai Xiaolan was sitting on the teacher's chair, bored, when a young servant brought a cup of tea.

"Little lady, sit down first. Have a cup of tea. The young master will be here soon!" The servant served tea.

Cai Xiaolan took a sip, and the smoky taste instantly exploded in her mouth.I wanted to spit it out, but then I remembered that I was a guest at someone else's house, so I reluctantly swallowed it.

"It's delicious!" The boy laughed, "Our young master learned this from the literati."

The look of admiration on the boy's face made Cai Xiaolan suspect for a moment that the content in the cup was a very delicious drink.

"Not bad, very good, thank you." Cai Xiaolan nodded again and again, sent a three-stroke perfunctory, but put the teacup on the table honestly.

Cai Xiaolan ran to the branch where Jing Guangli used to stay but saw no one. She was lamenting that it was not a coincidence, but she heard a young man calling her to go slowly. Their young boss had explained that if Cai Xiaolan came to look for him, he would send someone to call He will be here soon.That's why I stayed for a cup of tea——

Just as he was thinking about it, Jing Guangli opened the door and came in.

"Awaited!"

"I'm talking to you about business again!" Cai Xiaolan felt that she had been looking for Jing Guangli so often that she was embarrassed to chat with him.

"What business?" After Jing Guangli finished speaking, he shouted outside again, "Xiao Liu, bring a bowl of tea!"

"I want to buy a lot of beans!"

Jing Guangli thought for a moment that he had heard wrong, and asked: "What beans?"

"Soy!"

"What do you want this for?" Jing Guangli frowned. Not many people eat soybeans. If you eat too much soybeans, it will cause diarrhea and it will be too bloating.Rich families sometimes buy some as concentrate and feed it to their horses.

Furthermore, the soy sauce shop will buy it, but the quantity is not too large.

The annual soybean trading volume of Shengshi Grain Bank is only about [-] to [-] catties.

"Of course it's for food! How much does a bushel of soybeans cost?"

Jing Guangli held out five fingers.

"That's great!" Cai Xiaolan couldn't help but become happy when she saw the price, "I want five taels of gold first, let's make a contract!"

Jingdong's family took the abacus and plucked at it, "These five taels of gold can buy six thousand bushels of soybeans, and we don't have that many soybeans in the grain store at the moment. I need to give me a few days. There are still six thousand bushels, you can put them in where?"

"No hurry, I don't want it now, let's go at the current price." Cai Xiaolan is also a sensible person, and the price of soybeans will definitely drop a wave when autumn and winter are handed over.

"Let's write it in the contract!" Of course Jing Guangli knew the price trend of soybeans, and he didn't want to lose money by picking Xiaolan.

"I advise you to stock up again when the price of soybeans is the cheapest. However, the risk is slightly higher!" Cai Xiaolan is particularly confident in her tofu project.

……

"Why don't you go to Xinghualou and I treat you to dinner?" The two discussed the details of the contract, and it was not until noon that the contract was finalized, Jing Guangli asked.

"How much does Xinghualou cost for a meal?"

"One hundred to five hundred, as long as you don't order the most expensive dishes, the price is not expensive!" Jing Guangli was very frank in front of Cai Xiaolan.People who can refuse 50 taels of gold are worthy of everyone's sincere relationship.

Cai Xiaolan shook her head, "Let's forget it, I still have to go find Auntie!"

……

When Cai Xiaolan returned to the gate of Gongyuan, sure enough, Mrs. Cui Lu was waiting at the door with Xu Yinlian and two children.Of those who accompanied Cui Boyan in the morning, only the boss was missing.

"Auntie, aren't you hungry?" Cai Xiaolan appeared suddenly, causing Cui Lushi to pat her chest in fright.

Cui Lushi regained her strength and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Lan, I was looking for you just now. What did you do for half a day in the morning?"

"Of course I'm going to do business!"

Xu Yinlian's eyes lit up when she heard the news, "Xiao Lan, next time you do business, you also bring me with you. Multiple people and multiple helpers!"

"it is good!"

Cui Lushi was interrupted by Xu Yinlian, and she was too embarrassed to ask, what kind of business did Cai Xiaolan go to.

She felt more and more that Cai Xiaolan was beyond her control.

"Let's go, let's go to eat first. During the meal, I'll tell you what I'm going to do. This time, it's definitely a big deal!" Cai Xiaolan waved her hand, leading the four of them towards Xinghualou.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want to bring us to eat?"

"Xinghua Tower!"

"Ah?" Cui Lu's purse tightened, "Let's just find a roadside stall and eat a bowl of wontons. What kind of restaurant are we going to?"

There has been no income in the past month or two, so of course Cui Lu wants to save money.

"Auntie, this is the first time for us to go to a restaurant! I'm here to treat you!" Cai Xiaolan was happy. You can buy a bucket of soybeans for five dollars, and it may even be lower in the future. This will undoubtedly greatly reduce the market for tofu. difficulty.

"What about the thin words?"

"Didn't he have a bite to eat in the tribute courtyard?"

To be honest, at this moment, Cui Boyan was drooling because of other people's food and drinks.Gongyuan was afraid that someone would take advantage of the meal delivery interval to cheat, so it never provided meals.Others prepare their own.None of the previous heirs of the Cui family had to take part in the childbirth examination. Of course, they didn't know that they had to bring their own meals.

……

"There are five guests, please take your seats, five!" the waiter greeted the guests loudly.He led five people to sit down at a big table in the lobby.

"What do you guys want to eat?"

"Does your family have any delicious food?" Cai Xiaolan didn't know how to order food in ancient times, and was afraid of being timid.

When the waiter heard this, he became energetic and recited the rhyme he had practiced so many times. All the famous dishes in the store were in it.

"Okay, I want a lamb chop with one hand!" After ordering her favorite dish, Cai Xiaolan looked at the other four, signaling them to order a dish each.

"I want jealous celery!" Xiao Dongping was the first to raise his hand.

When Cui Lushi heard about Cai Xiaolan's order of mutton, she immediately understood that today's money must be spent.I simply ordered my favorite meat.

Xu Yinlian and Xu Xiaoqin were embarrassed, and each ordered a plain one.

"Five more bowls of soup cakes!"

There were not many people in Xinghua Building, and their dishes were served quickly.

"Let's start!" Cui Lushi shouted.

Five pairs of chopsticks reached out to the lamb chops, which were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.During this period of time, most people in Yangzhou City were empty of stomachs.Corn porridge is originally clear and watery, let alone after drinking it for almost two months.

Originally speaking well, Cai Xiaolan, who was talking about what to do in the morning during the meal, also forgot about it, and was immersed in the joy of grabbing food.

……

At the gate of the Gongyuan, Cui Lushi screamed, "You said you already spent eight taels of gold this morning?"

"Yes!" Cai Xiaolan nodded.She really has no special feelings about the money.If there is a good person who converts it into RMB, she will probably scream herself.

"What did you buy?"

"Some special tools, and six thousand bushels of soybeans!"

"Isn't this more corn you bought? Is there another big disaster?"
