Chapter 13 Purslane
Butler Wang and Chef Zhao were both stunned.
There was actually someone selling fish at the door, and it was weighing six pounds and six ounces!
Butler Wang didn't believe that he had such good luck, but he still ran outside with Chef Zhao!
Outside, stood four young men, drenched and soaked by the rain.
The rain poured down on their heads, their hair drooped wetly, and their faces were as pale as paper, without a trace of blood.
But Butler Wang didn't care about their miserable appearance and his eyes were on the cart.
It’s filled with big fish!
The scales sparkled with a wet light, and the fish tail swayed occasionally, igniting the hope in Butler Wang's heart!
Steward Wang was overjoyed: "God is helping me, that's great!"
"Fishmonger, you've come to the right place. I want all these fish, all of them!"
"Chef Zhao, quickly call someone to help!"
Chef Zhao immediately ran back. Chen Changan shook his head and stood in front of Steward Wang: "You haven't said how much money yet."
"Silver? Silver is nothing!"
Steward Wang laughed out loud: "How many are there here?"
"The market price is one tael of silver for two pieces. I will buy them all from you at one tael of silver per piece. You should make a lot of money!"
Zhou Qiankun and others looked happy!
They all knew that Chen Changan spent 40 taels on these fish, and made a net profit of 50 taels after coming to Yuyang City!
To put it bluntly...
50 taels is enough for the three of them to earn in a year!
This is too easy to make money!
"Brother, I'll push them in..."
Chen Changan shook his head and pulled his cart: "What are you pushing?"
"It's raining so hard, and the Zhuge Mansion only offered such a small price. Can we still sell the fish to them?"
"Let's go and take a look at the city."
Zhou Qiankun and others were all confused!
Oh my God, they paid one or two taels of silver for one piece, and you think it’s too little?
Brother, that’s a lot!
"Listen to me and follow me!"
Chen Changan frowned and drove away.
When Chef Zhao brought his men out, he was also confused when he saw this situation.
"Butler Wang, what's going on? They can't leave!"
Butler Wang looked so annoyed!
He also realized that these young men selling fish were clearly trying to take advantage of the situation!
In the past, Butler Wang would definitely not have spoiled them.
But not today, everyone is waiting for the fish!
"Wait!" Butler Wang blocked Chen Changan's way.
"You are so young but you are very good at business. Where are you from? What is your father's name? Where do you sell fish?"
If you can't argue with the boy, then go and cause trouble for his father!
Chen Changan sighed and said, "I am from Jiangdu. My parents passed away, and I was the only one left. I grew up with my brothers and sisters."
Butler Wang frowned and looked at the attire of several people.
It really looks like a child without a father or a mother.
If so, which parent would be so cruel as to let him come to Yuyang from such a faraway city like Jiangdu?
Butler Wang shook his head: "No father... Forget it, how much do you plan to sell your fish for?"
Butler Wang thought to himself that even if he added another half tael, that would be the maximum.
Chen Changan wiped the rain off his face and said calmly, "Three taels each."
"How much? How much did you say?"
Butler Wang couldn't keep calm!
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fish are scarce, but there is no such thing as you. On a good day, three taels of silver can buy six. Let's talk again!"
Zhou Qiankun and the others bowed their heads silently. They also felt that...
Chen Changan is asking for a lot.
"You also said it was good weather, what kind of weather is it now?"
Chen Changan shook his head seriously: "The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish. You must understand this."
"We have come here in such a storm, we cannot afford to be less than three or two."
Butler Wang gritted his teeth, really gritted his teeth!
Five taels of silver a month is considered a lot for an ordinary family of three, but how dare a mere fishmonger ask for such a high price!
"No, it's too expensive, 180 taels!"
Chen Changan said nothing, just got into the car and left.
"Don't go. I've already given you two taels of silver for one. This price is not low!"
"It's not low, but I want three taels."
"What the hell..."
Just as Butler Wang was about to curse, a maid ran out hurriedly and asked anxiously.
"Butler Wang, the young master asked me to come over and ask how the fish is being prepared."
No matter how dissatisfied Butler Wang was, he had to suppress it.
"Tell the master, I promise there won't be any mistakes."
After the maid went back, Butler Wang calmed down a little.
"Young man, I am just a servant. There is no need to embarrass me like this. Can you please give me some favor?"
Sun Jingyi pulled Chen Changan and said, "Brother, give me a cheaper price..."
Chen Changan was silent: "Alright, my sister has already said so, give her some face, 269 taels."
Butler Wang was furious!
I thought you gave your sister a lot of face, but you only reduced it by one or two taels?
Thank you fucking much!
"190 taels!"
"268?"
"200. Can you not worry about a few dozen taels?"
"267, the lowest."
"..."
After several rounds of bargaining, Chen Changan refused to reduce the price significantly!
Even Chef Zhao couldn't stand it anymore: "Young man, be more generous and stop worrying about the price!"
"The price is 230 taels. If it's not enough, I'll make up for it!"
Chef Zhao wanted someone to take the fish cart away from Chen Changan, but Butler Wang could not afford to waste time here with Chen Changan!
However, Chen Changan still held on to it!
"Don't be ungrateful, 230 taels is more than enough!"
Chef Zhao was a little unhappy and said sternly.
"Okay, then I'll sell it to you." Chen Changan smiled.
"We brothers came here from Jiangdu this morning. We haven't eaten all day yet. We want to ask Mr. Zhuge for a bowl of rice."
"I heard that Mr. Zhuge has planted a lot of medicinal herbs. I bargained down to thirty taels. I just don't have enough herbs. I can't go back to Jiangdu empty-handed."
This guy really knows how to do business.
Butler Wang rolled his eyes: "This kid is always thinking about getting hurt... Damn it, I agree!"
Finally the fish was brought into the kitchen.
Chef Zhao was busy slaughtering fish and scraping the scales.
When the brothers saw that Chen Changan sold 230 taels, their faces were filled with admiration!
After deducting the cost, the net profit was 190 taels!
How much wealth is this for them?
Zhou Qiankun was excited and hugged Chen Changan and kissed him hard!
"Brother, you are so awesome!"
"Brother, I'm so scared. How do you know the talks won't fall apart?"
"More than 200 taels. From now on, we are also rich people!"
Seeing that they had never seen silver before, Chen Changan just shook his head vigorously.
With only two hundred taels, how can you be considered a rich man?
He wants to earn all the wealth in the world!
"Stop shouting and yelling, just listen to me."
Chen Changan lowered his voice and said, "After dinner, you will follow my instructions and collect herbs."
"Remember, you must collect more purslane. I have a plan to make money!"
The brothers' eyes lit up again.
Any plans to make money?
Purslane, also known as grasshopper vegetable and five-element vegetable, is a wild vegetable that they have all eaten before.
There are also some in Jiangdu, but Yuyang City is more suitable for its growth.
Can this thing make money?
how to earn?
