The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 581

[Chapter 581 Tens of Thousand Categories]

You can see the leopard in the tube.

This matter would have a lifelong impact on these villagers, but in Nuange and in the court, the princes only discussed it for a few rounds.

I don’t know how many similar rules have been set over the years. Is it the same as this one, which changed as soon as I left the Nuan Pavilion?

Emperor Chu no longer dared to think about it.

He looked at the village chief with a very complicated expression.

On the one hand, seeing the village elder helpless, he felt very guilty.

But, on the other hand, I was very angry when I thought about the officials who implemented the imperial policy.

The mixture of anger and guilt left him speechless for a long time, and in the end he just sighed.

The village chief also noticed something strange about Emperor Chu, and hurriedly changed the subject and said, “Hey, the little old man was talking about other things and almost forgot about the main business.

Is Mr. Zhao here this time about the crayfish?”

Emperor Chu was slightly startled, and he also remembered his ‘purpose’ for coming here. He nodded and said, “Exactly.”

The village chief looked at Emperor Chu and asked, “I don’t know how many lobsters Mr. Zhao wants to buy.” ?”

When Emperor Chu heard this question, he didn’t know how to answer it for a moment.

He is the emperor, and he is involved in all affairs of the world, including astronomy and geography.

However, he has no idea about such trivial matters as how many crayfish a restaurant needs to consume in a season.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Fang Xiu, wanting him to answer.

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, he secretly complained.

This matter of Chunfeng Tower was previously the responsibility of Shopkeeper Lu. After Shopkeeper Lu took over Zhuxuan Zhai, he didn’t even remember who the new shopkeeper was. He didn’t know how many crayfish Chunfeng Tower needed.

I can only pretend not to see it.

Emperor Chu glanced at Fang Xiu twice, but saw that he didn’t react at all, as if he hadn’t seen him. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and make up a number: “It’s about a thousand kilograms. In

fact, the purchase of this restaurant, The dog has been busy.

For a while, I couldn’t tell clearly. I can only give a rough number. The specific number will have to wait until my dog is finished and I can talk to the old man.”

The village chief heard. During the first half of the sentence, he frowned slightly and was about to speak, but stopped when he heard the next words.

A smile appeared on his face and he said: “So that’s it. I thought, a big restaurant like Chunfeng Restaurant costs tens of thousands of catties of lobsters a season. How can it only cost ten thousand catties of lobsters for only one thousand catties

? “

When Emperor Chu and Fang Xiu heard this number, they both raised their eyebrows.

Especially Fang Xiu, he never thought that people from the capital city would love eating crayfish so much.

You know, in Chunfeng Tower, a pound of crayfish is sold for a sky-high price of ten taels, and tens of thousands of jins are equivalent to one hundred thousand taels!

Of course, a large part of these crayfish are sent to Zuihua Pavilion, and the price of Zuihua Pavilion is much more affordable, only fifty cents per pound.

Even so, if these crayfish are added together and the cost is factored out, they can earn nearly seven to eight thousand taels of silver!

And that’s not counting the other dishes.

No wonder I felt like I had done nothing during this period of time, neither invented any novelty gadgets nor wrote any new novels.

The money still flowed into his pocket like running water.

It turns out that opening a restaurant is so profitable.

Emperor Chu never thought that a small Chunfeng Tower would require tens of thousands of kilograms of lobsters per season.

He has tasted the taste of these lobsters. It is indeed extraordinary, but it is just like this at best. Compared with river crabs, it is still inferior, but so many people like to eat it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of another question. He looked at the village chief and asked: “I don’t know how much silver is needed to purchase this pound of crayfish in advance?”

The amount is such a large amount, and the discussion can’t get anywhere. , the most important thing is the price.

When the village chief heard this question, he also became serious. He sat up as straight as possible and looked at Emperor Chu with a thoughtful look on his face.

After a while, he said: “Mr. Zhao, to be honest, we only found out from Mr. Fang this year that these lobsters are edible.

Therefore, the price was set a bit low from the beginning.”

Emperor Chu and Fang Xiu As soon as I heard this, I knew that the price was going to increase.

Of course, Emperor Chu himself didn’t care about this little money, because it had nothing to do with him.

Fang Xiu next to him frowned.

When I left, the villagers from another village walked across the road to see me off, and their words were extremely touching.

Although I have never been to this village, I also sent people to spread the news about the crayfish.

Now that he said that, even though he was not disappointed when talking about business, it still made him feel a little unworthy.

But

at this time, the village chief changed the topic and said: “Although the price was set low at the beginning, without Mr. Fang, how could we peasants who couldn’t read a single word know that these crayfish are edible? We thought they were red crayfish.” Chong Nei

heard that Mr. Zhao’s Chunfeng Tower was somewhat related to Mr. Fang. Since it was sold to Mr. Zhao, the price could not be changed. It was still twenty cents per pound.

Of course, as of last year, our village and several neighboring villages produced more than tens of thousands of catties of crayfish.

The old man has already talked with the village chiefs of those villages before. If he sells these lobsters to Chunfenglou and you, Mr. Zhao, it will still be twenty cents per pound and the rest.

Sold to other restaurants, or directly to wealthy families, it costs 40 cents per catty.

“Please don’t mention this to others, Mr. Zhao.” This

is easy to understand.

Selling for 20 cents on one side and 40 cents on the other. If the person who spent 40 cents knew the news, they would naturally not be willing to do so. Chunfeng

Tower

, they can’t afford to offend them.

After hearing these words, Emperor Chu thought of another thing.

He remembered the plate of lobsters he had eaten at Chunfeng Tower. It was only about one pound, but it cost ten taels of silver!

There was a big difference between twenty cents per pound and ten taels per pound!

When he thought of this, he couldn’t help but glance at Fang Xiu

. Seeing this scene, I immediately understood what Emperor Chu was thinking, and hurriedly leaned into his ear, and whispered to defend myself: “All I earn is the money of princes, nobles and wealthy merchants.

Without this money, how can I buy food? Without food, how can I give porridge to the poor people?” When

Emperor Chu heard this, he shook his head, glanced at him, and said lightly: “I am not thinking of you. said. “

Fang Xiu was slightly startled, not understanding what he meant.

However, Emperor Chu sighed and did not continue to struggle with this issue. Instead, he looked at the village chief and asked: “Last year, so many lobsters only Can it be sold for twenty cents, enough to support the family? ”
