peasant girl allure

Chapter 796
Shangguan Xuanyi and Xiao'er strolled casually in this small town. He took Xiao'er to eat the most famous flower cake in the town.

There are many shops selling spices in the town, Xiaoer decided to take a good look.

Looking all the way over, Xiao'er got a general understanding.

Most of the shops here sell flowers, as well as mint, fennel,..., thyme, etc. To put it bluntly, these shops sell raw materials for making spices.

Of course, there are also some shops that sell synthetic spices, but the quality is not good, far worse than those from Nangong Kingdom and overseas.

"There are too few types of raw materials, and the quality of spices is not good. In this case, they can only be sold to ordinary people who have little spending power. The profit margin is not large and the source of customers is not large." The quality is not good, Xiao'er said it politely , the actual is not bad, is too bad!

Xiaoer knows that spices are valuables in history, and it can be said that they are luxury goods of the aristocrats. For this hobby, the nobles even searched for spices and spices from all over the world, which promoted the development of ocean navigation technology and promoted the development of the New World. The discovery also has a certain great contribution to the history of human transportation.

To put it bluntly, spices are not a necessity, they are considered as luxury goods. Since they are luxury goods, their real market is in the aristocratic circle. Aristocrats can’t look down on poor quality spices, let alone use them, and they will lower their status. .

And forget about the poor quality of spices in town.There are not many types of raw materials, not complete!How can we make our own characteristics?Things that have no characteristics will not last long after all.

There are many plants suitable for spices in the world, not just flowers, such as mint, cinnamon, bay leaves, star anise,... Litsea cubeba, lemongrass, etc. As long as the thing has fragrance, no matter it is root, stem, or leaf Or flowers and fruits can be used as spices.

There are so many things that can be used as spices, and it is not practical to find them all in a small town!If you can't do it all, then do it fine!Be good at the same, keep improving on the same product!So why worry about no business?
"So it can't develop well, and it's not bad to barely maintain food and clothing." Shangguan Xuanyi nodded.

The two came to a shop that sold the largest spices.

At this time, a merchant came out from inside, followed by the shopkeeper who chased him out:
"Boss Du, the price you gave is really too low. There is a lot of rain this year, and the flowers are indeed not as good as in previous years, but the difference is not too much. You lowered the price by half all at once. Isn't it that I lost everything? "

"The scent of your flowers is almost gone. The price I gave is already very high! I am worried that I will lose all my money if I buy it back! This is the price, and it can't be higher. Do you want to sell it or not!"

"But the price I originally sold to you is already very low. If you lower the price like this, I really only lose but not make a profit, and I can't explain it to the flower grower!"

"That's your business. If you don't sell it, I can find a second one, and our future cooperation will end here!" The person called Boss Du shook off the hand that was holding him by the spice boss, Pretend to go.

But his pace was slow, obviously waiting for someone to change his mind.

Boss Spice looked at Boss Du who was walking away, his eyes were full of struggles. Is it really necessary to sell this season's roses to him at a loss?The biggest business in his store is done with Boss Du. If Boss Du is lost as a big customer, it doesn't matter if he loses money, but so many flower farmers have planted nearly a hundred acres of flower fields, what about those flowers?
They hope that these flowers can be sold for some money to buy some food throughout the year.

The climate and environment of Xiangzhen is very suitable for growing flowers. Most of the ancestors here have grown flowers for generations. Many people don't even know how to grow food!

So if such a big customer is lost, it means that many people will lose their jobs.

The owner of spices is surnamed Feng, and boss Feng frowned into a big river. This Du Guicheng must have done it on purpose. There have been more flower farmers in Nangong Kingdom in recent years, and the supply of flowers is sufficient, which has caused them to come to Xiangzhen to collect flowers, and the price has been lowered again and again!In the past two years, the price of flowers has dropped again and again, and now they still want to buy flowers at half price!It's so deceiving!
Sell ​​it, he couldn't swallow this breath in his heart!

But if you don’t sell it, the flowers have already been picked. If you don’t sell them quickly, they will rot in your hands, and you will lose everything!
Boss Du predicted that Boss Feng wouldn't dare not sell it, so he kept the price so low, hum!If he doesn't sell it to himself, where can he find a merchant as big as himself who can swallow so many flowers from him!

He walked slower and slower, waiting for Boss Feng to stop him.

Xiao'er could tell that this short, fat man deliberately bullied her countrymen.

The costumes of people from Nangong Kingdom and people from Minze Kingdom are different, so Xiaoer recognized that he was not from Minze Kingdom.

Boss Feng hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth, and decided to sell the flowers. It's better to get some money back than to lose everything, isn't it?

Before Boss Feng opened his mouth, Xiaoer said: "Boss, do you have flowers for sale here? How many are there? I happen to be buying a large number of flowers. If the price is reasonable, I will take as many as you have!"

Boss Feng was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Young Madam, are you telling the truth?"

"Otherwise? I'm not a child, would I joke about such a thing?" Xiao'er said, and took out an ingot of twelve taels of gold: "If the boss doesn't believe it, I can pay part of the deposit first."

Boss Feng almost didn't cry when he heard this. It's really a road that never ends!
"There are flowers, there are flowers, how much does the young lady want? But this season's roses, because of the heavy rain during the flowering period, caused the flowers to be a little damaged, I can give you a cheaper price! In the past, it was five cents a catty, but now it is three cents." How about half a catty?"

One and a half pennies less at once. In fact, this is already much lower, but it is better than two pennies per catty.

At this time, the yield of roses is not high, only more than 300 catties per mu of land.

It's just because the land and water in this small town are not enough, and the soil and climate are more suitable for growing roses, so many people have planted roses. Of course, there are also other flowers, but the scale is not as large as roses.

It used to be better to grow roses than to grow grain when the yield per mu of grain was low, but now the grain yield is close to [-] catties per mu. The family has two or three mu of land, and the grain harvested in a year is enough for a family of four or five people for a year. Still full to vomit!
"Okay, how many flowers does the boss have?" Xiao'er went in and took a look at the samples, and smelled the fragrance of the flowers. In fact, it was just a little damaged, and the fragrance was still tangy, so the loss was not big. It was a penny and a half cheaper at once. The boss is also very talkative. up.

"Boss, the flowers are not damaged very much. It's cheap at a penny and a half. It's really a good deal. Even if it's four pennies a catty, there are many people who come to grab it! The boss is doing business, how much do you have? I I want it all! It’s calculated at four cents a catty! And I hope that in the future, the boss will give me some good flowers first.”
