The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

As soon as the little dog came back and saw his brother eating happily, he forgot all about the delicious food his mother had promised, ran over quickly, squatted next to the big dog, and looked at him with longing eyes. Looked at Li Xuemei.

He was still afraid that no one would notice him, so he said obediently: "Second sister-in-law, we are back!"

Li Xuemei responded with a smile: "Wait, it will be ready soon."

When Mrs. Cui arrived, she saw the two boys in the family squatting side by side in front of the second lady, holding out their hands to take strings. If there was a tail behind them, they would be able to fly away.

“Brother and sister, Big Dog can also bake, let him help you look after the stall, and let’s go shopping.”

Dashouzi hurriedly said: "Second sister-in-law, I can do it."

●Xiaozizi also rushed to say: "I can do it, I can do it too."

“Xiaozizi, look at our stall. If someone comes later and your brother is too busy, you can help.” Mrs. Cui made arrangements for her two sons clearly.

Li Xuemei stood up with a smile and gave up her position to Da Gouzi.

Ms. Cui held Li Xuemei in one hand and the waiter in the other, chatting and laughing while strolling around.

Yan Yu ate all the way.

Mrs. Cui promised that all the delicious food that Xiaozizi would eat went into her mouth.

There were more and more women and children walking around the food street on this side. At the exhibition on the other side, it was finally time for Mr. Yan to go into battle in person.

"Everyone, the original plan was to start today and negotiate the price tomorrow. It will end in three days. However, our general banner has just received a notice from the summit. The adults who went to Yongning to commend have entered our Guanzhou territory. In the past few days, We are about to arrive. I heard that the emperor is sympathetic to our difficulties in Guanzhou. This time it is a big reward. This is a grand event for our Guanzhou frontier army. Maybe we will have to send people to welcome it..." Yan Laoer Her face was beaming with joy, as if she was determined to welcome him, not to mention the joy.

"We have to shorten the day by one day. The sale starts today and ends tomorrow. As for those friends who can't make it in time, I have to say sorry."

Yan Laoer took the small hammer handed to him by the person next to him and said simply: "Okay, no more words, let's start right away."

With a small hammer strike, the empty wooden box covered with cloth made a muffled sound.

Originally, Yan Laoer wanted to use the gong, which one was louder, but then he thought something wrong. If the gong was struck, the villagers would misunderstand and run out thinking something big happened. It was so dark in the dark night. I don’t know how to fix it if something happens.

 This is the method of knocking out the empty wooden box.

Yan Laoer was very eloquent and quickly reported information such as the grade and quantity of the product, and then sent cut pieces of paper and ink to each table.

 “What does this mean?” asked someone who didn’t quite understand.

Without the need to accompany the shopkeeper to explain, Yan Laoer said loudly: "If you are interested, just write down the price you think is appropriate and hand it over to our general banner. The one with the highest price will get it."

"The reason why I don't know the price is because I don't want to hurt everyone's friendship. Furthermore, at this exhibition, I, Hu Ju, are more willing to use grain instead of money. This grain is divided into rice, flour, coarse grains, miscellaneous grains, fine grains and grains. The prices are different. , if we calculate on the spot, we both have different prices, and for fear of disputes, we can simply calculate it together. Since you have written it, you think it can be traded. After I compare, I will either choose one, or not sell it, and we can be regarded as two-way. The choice is fair."

Everyone present thought about it carefully and talked with each other, and then they understood the gains and losses involved.

On this piece of paper, you can also write the amount of gold and silver, but whether the seller, Hu Ju, recognizes it or not depends entirely on the person's will.

 His words are also clear, and he wants more food.

As for the pricing calculation of coarse grains and other miscellaneous grains, everyone doesn't care that much. They transport grains to the North for sale, and they pay attention to the grain prices every day, so they have a strong balance in their hearts.

 Speaking of which, Mr. Yan is really a thief.

If they were asked to call out the price on the spot, it would indeed be a bit uncomfortable, and they might even want to give it a try, but if they write down the price secretly, there would be no such trouble.

“The team coming from the capital to commend Guanzhou’s great victory is coming soon? Is this news accurate? Who among you knows?”

“Then Mr. Yan said it himself, so it should be accurate.”

“The Holy Emperor ordered Superintendent Li to leave Beijing and come to Guanzhou. Calculating the time, it’s almost the same.”

“In addition to gold and silver, can the court’s praise include food and grass?”

 Several large grain merchants who were communicating in private looked at each other.

 There was hesitation and uncertainty on his face. “General Manager Yan said that this trade fair will only last until tomorrow, but I’m afraid it will end today.”

A few people looked at where he indicated with his eyes. This group of leather goods was not of high value. Many small businessmen had already taken out their abacus and fiddled with it, and sent their cronies to the place where the leather goods were stored to inspect the goods.

 “If you write it low, you’re afraid you won’t get it.” Someone whispered.

The suddenness of the exhibition caught them off guard, and group distribution was more beneficial to merchants with small capital.

“Fortunately, we are here. Those who stayed in Yongning to wait and see probably did not expect that General Yan Qi has so much leather in his hands, accounting for almost 90% of Hu Ju’s fortune this year.”

Several people nodded, very happy.

“There are also deer antlers and deer whips... Mr. Yan has deer skins in his flag, so I think they are all there too.”

“Guys, did the first few groups really give in? I’m impatient, I’m afraid I’m going to take action first.”

 “My dear brother, why should you be impatient? Let’s wait and see.”

 “Yes, yes, this is just the beginning, why are you in a hurry?”

Having said this, several people dispersed in a hurry and went back. Before they could sit down, they ordered their subordinates to inspect the goods and calculate the prices.

 For a time, there were only indecipherable whispers and the clear and continuous sound of abacus.

 …

Yan Laoer has gathered numerous accounting offices worthy of Hu Ju's name.

 Zheng Accountant, who had taught him, was also among them.

The price of grain here in Huju is calculated by the shopkeepers of grain shops, restaurants, warehouses and other stores in the city.

 Write on a piece of paper.

 For all the slips of paper handed in, the total price can be easily calculated by applying the pricing above, and the highest one will be sent to Mr. Yan.

Yan Laoer only looked at whether there was a mark on the note. If there was a mark on it, it meant that after all the accountants calculated the price, the price was higher or equal to the reserve price of this group of skins. If there was no mark, it meant a loss.

This first group, he didn’t care much about whether it could be shot smoothly.

The reason why hidden markings are used instead of open shots is to make it easier to manipulate.

But after seeing the clear mark on the note, Yan Laoer smiled even happier.

“Table No. 7, Boss Feng, congratulations! Please come here for delivery.”

As the buyer of the first group of goods, he has attracted much attention.

The businessman surnamed Feng felt the scorching eyes of his colleagues following him closely until he came back after signing the contract, and even enjoyed the stars shining over the moon.

They were all asking him for details, the amount of grain he wrote, and what was written in the business contract.

Feng Xingshang did not dare to hide anything. He had little experience as a merchant and had little capital. When he came to Guanzhou this time, he did not bring much rice. The reason why he was selected was because he listened to the words of shopkeeper Qiu and came to Guanzhou. Hu Ju had always stayed at Ruifeng Restaurant, and Shopkeeper Qiu had taken care of him, so he believed in him, so he wrote down all the food he had brought and ate the first group of fur goods alone.

 With this good start, the transactions of each subsequent group went extremely smoothly.

 Price keeps rising.

 At the back, the merchant who had not bought any of the fur goods in front was simply staring red-eyed.

  If we don't get together anymore, when we look at each other, it's like the light of a sword.

Feng Xingshang originally wanted to deliver the goods tomorrow. Seeing the momentum, he quickly asked his clerk to bring the grain. He thanked shopkeeper Qiu sincerely and stayed in front of his pile of skins.
