"Manager Liu, shopkeeper Liu? Do you want woks, spinach, and cucumbers?"
Before dawn the next day, many farmers brought two baskets of fresh vegetables into the city. Of course, there were also those who directly pulled an ox cart into the city. With the blessing of a cement road, the speed of the ox cart was naturally splendid!
No surprise, the farmers chose Zuixianlou as the first stop to sell vegetables, which was what they did when the bean sprouts first came out.
"Yo~! Old Hu, come in!"
The Zuixianlou had just opened the door, and when Mr. Liu saw that Lao Hu had brought dozens of merchants outside, he hurriedly greeted him.
Liu Erye didn't come today, but his sons came.
"This...! Lao Hu, have all the vegetables grown in your shed?"
As one of several veterans under Li Zexuan, Manager Liu knew that the farmers under Li Zexuan were secretly cultivating vegetables. Seeing that the farmers brought in so many fresh vegetables, Manager Liu was surprised at first, and then suddenly said.
Old Hu said with a grin: "Well! It has grown into a part, and everyone thought to get some to Chang'an City first and see if they could sell it!"
"Good sale! Good sale! Of course good sale!"
Shopkeeper Liu nodded quickly, saying that when he saw those verdant sauerkraut and cucumbers, he couldn't help but sigh, "Ding San! Quick! Take it and weigh all these dishes~! "
Shopkeeper Liu didn't ask the price, so he directly called the servant to come and weigh the dishes. Anyway, after these dishes were "processed" by their Zuixianlou, they would be sold at sky-high prices. Definitely make a fortune!
After all the vegetables were weighed, the shopkeeper Liu asked: "Every person's pound of each dish is recorded on it, Lao Hu, tell me what the price of each dish is, and I will let the accountant settle the bill for you now! "
Zuixianlou is backed by Li Zexuan, and it can be said to be rich and powerful, so the shopkeeper Liu will naturally not owe the farmers the vegetable money.
Hu Hanyun scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Manager Liu, you know that these vegetables are grown in the greenhouse by everyone, so the cost is much more expensive than growing vegetables in summer... .."
He was afraid of misunderstanding by shopkeeper Liu, so he was vaccinated in advance.
"Haha! No matter how unreasonable Liu is, he still understands the truth! Old Hu, you can just say the price, don't have any scruples, no matter how high it is, Zuixianlou will make a profit!"
Shopkeeper Liu laughed and waved his hands indifferently.
Lao Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "These dishes are discussed by everyone. Shopkeeper Liu, you can give us ten times the price of summer!"
Li Zexuan clearly stated that it was 20 to 30 times, but Hu Hanyun said it was ten times. This was also discussed in private before they came. Anyway, ten times the price is already very profitable for them. Well, just for today's trip, I have earned back the capital of the greenhouse!
"ten times?"
Shopkeeper Liu frowned, he shook his head and said, "Old Hu, you're lying to me again! How precious are the vegetables in this winter, how can the price be ten times as high? How could it be twenty times as much! Ding San, please call Mr. Just pay twenty times the price!"
It is said that the shopkeeper Liu is also a person who has seen the world. Although Li Zexuan has not told him the "guidance price" of vegetables in greenhouses, but with his old eyes, how can he not see that Hu Hanyun is deliberately lowering the price in order to take care of Zuixianlou?
"Ah? No, no! Shopkeeper Liu! This dish is not worth the price!"
"Yes! Shopkeeper Liu! Ten times is too much!"
Lao Hu and the others were shocked and shouted from behind, but Manager Liu went straight to the backyard without turning his head.

"My lord! My lord! Someone in the East Market is selling fresh cucumbers, spinach, and woks!"
Chongren Square, the courtyard of the Cao family.
A maid ran in excitedly and said.
"What? Fresh cucumbers? How is that possible?"
Cao Wendong stood up in shock, disbelieving.
This maid was the one who was in charge of buying melons, fruits and vegetables. Seeing that her master didn't believe it, she had to swear to God, "Master! It's true! The maid saw it in Dongshi with her own eyes! And there are more than just sellers. One!"
Cao Wendong stared at the basket on the maid's arm, and said angrily: "You see someone selling cucumbers, but you don't buy them~? Do you know how rare a cucumber is this winter? That's taking money. You can't buy it!"
The maid was about to cry, "Master, those cucumbers are too expensive, 30 times more expensive than summer cucumbers! Handmaid... maid dare not buy it!"
Cao Wendong hated that iron was not steel and said, "Why is it expensive? It's also expensive? Go! Let someone carry the money and go! Buy as much as you have for the old man! Don't you know your master likes cucumbers the most?"
"Yes! Master, the maid is going!"
……………………
Not only Cao Wendong's family had heard the news, but Chang'an City was a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles. With so many wealthy mansions, who didn't have a servant who was specially responsible for purchasing vegetables?
The sudden appearance of large quantities of fresh fruits and vegetables at the market during the winter will naturally attract their attention! As a result, countless slaves from wealthy families hurried to the East Market with copper coins pulled by ox carts. After all, these fresh fruits and vegetables are too scarce, and everyone is afraid that they will not be able to buy them if they arrive late!
"Niangniang! Niangniang! The servant heard from the deacon of the imperial kitchen that purchased today that there are cucumbers and green vegetables in Dongshi, and all
just picked! "
In the west garden of the palace, a palace maid hurriedly walked in and said to Empress Zhangsun.
"Oh~? Are there fresh cucumbers on the market?"
Empress Zhangsun frowned and asked suspiciously, "Could it be that someone in Wentangjian sold cucumbers to private merchants without authorization to make huge profits~?"
Thinking of this possibility, Empress Zhangsun's face became a little serious!
The palace maid raised her head and replied, "Niangniang! No! There are more cucumbers in the East Market than Wen Tangjian! And those who sell cucumbers are farmers outside the city, even if Wentangjian is willing to sell them to They can't afford cucumbers either!"
"Oh~? That's even more strange! How can these farmers have the conditions to grow cucumbers in the severe winter?"
Empress Zhangsun was full of doubts. At this time, even if she was imaginative, she couldn't imagine the reason. This is mainly because the villagers under Li Zexuan are very tight-lipped, and greenhouse vegetables are only passed down among the villagers, and it is difficult for outsiders to know.
"Niangniang, the cucumbers sold by the farmers are not only fresh and large, but they are also not cheap! I heard that a pound of cucumbers costs six hundred cents, but ordinary people can't afford it!"
The palace maid said again.
If it weren't for the fact that cucumbers were too expensive in winter, she would have wanted to buy some to satisfy her hunger. After all, after a winter, no one wanted to eat some fresh vegetables.
