Chapter 485 The Minister Earns a Lot of Money From Selling Goods

"Roasted chestnuts, roasted chestnuts with sugar, fragrant roasted chestnuts with sugar."

While everyone was having breakfast, a group of teenagers ran to Dongshi, set up a large iron pot, and burned the coals.

Throw in the chestnuts and stones and stir-fry them with a shovel.

When it's almost cooked, pour in sugar water, and soon the caramel flavor will come out.

Song Xiaodong and the others finally learned how to roast chestnuts with sugar and set up a stall for the first time today.

They needed to carry a lot of things, so they hired an ox cart from the county town and drove slowly to Chang'an before dawn.

Next to the cauldron, baskets made of grass and branches were placed, and they asked someone to weave them after consultation.

Negotiate the price and wait until the goods are sold out before you get the money.

The small basket is used to hold chestnuts. The raw paper cannot wrap the fried chestnuts and contains moisture.

There is also a bamboo tube. The weight is not weighed. It is packed in the bamboo tube and the money is calculated according to the bamboo tube.

People in the Tang Dynasty had never eaten stir-fried chestnuts with sugar. Before Li Yi started stir-frying in large quantities, people in the Tang Dynasty could not stir-fry much. The most classic was fried rice.

It looks fried and oily, and smells like caramel.

"How to sell it?" People passing by saw it, got greedy and wanted to try it.

"Five cents per bamboo tube. Look at this bamboo tube. It can hold a lot. I'll put the sharp one for you." Song Xiaodong picked up the bamboo tube next to him.

"Five cents? Look at the bamboo tube... Five cents for raw chestnuts can buy you three more." The person who asked the price thought it was expensive.

"You taste one, and if you think it tastes good, then buy it. We also have to cut it, fry it, and put sugar in it. Everything costs money."

Song Xiaodong handed over a chestnut, he was not in a hurry.

Because Boss Li said, three times the price is just right.

The person who asked the price took it, peeled off the skin, took a small bite, and showed a satisfied look.

"Put it in a tube for me. I don't have anything to put it in, so why don't I put it on my clothes?" He took out a five-cent exchange coupon.

"You can't put it on your clothes. We have prepared a small basket. If you buy one tube, you will get a small basket for free."

The boy next to him took a straw basket. The basket was relatively small and could just hold a bamboo tube of chestnuts.

The branches are braided large enough to hold two, three or five tubes.

The first copy sold, and everyone else who saw it was moved.

Before long, a queue formed in front of the stall.

One pot is sold out, and other people who want to eat have to wait, which takes three-quarters of an hour.

"I'll give you the money first, and I'll come back to get it later." Some people didn't want to wait any longer, so the person in front of the queue gave money.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'll remember what you look like. You can take a small basket and go."

The young man received the five-yuan exchange coupon and handed the other party a basket.

In case I didn’t remember clearly, the basket is proof.

Many people started to give money, and the teenagers accepted them one by one.

"Aren't you afraid that someone will buy chestnuts, throw them out, and then come back with a basket?"

There were bored people standing there waiting and chatting.

Song Xiaodong smiled: "We believe there won't be such a person. Even if there is, you can tell by the things on the chestnuts rubbing on the baskets where they were packed."

The person who bought it before took a look at the situation inside the basket, and sure enough, there was water and black stuff on the outside of the chestnuts.

While praising the young people for being smart, he asked again: "How did you think of using a big pot to stir-fry? In the past, we just boiled them."

"Li Dong taught us, we practiced for several days before we got good at it." The boy next to Song Xiaodong said loudly.

"Oh~~" the onlookers made uniform noises.

"No wonder it's so delicious. It was originally taught by Dongzhu Li."

"Looks like we have to wait for one more pot. You guys are going to bring two pots with you. There are so many people, so we have to take turns."

"Hurry up, when will it be ready? I want to try the chestnuts made with the method Li Dongzhu told me."

Everyone started talking about Dongzhu Li and felt relieved.

The teenagers ate one pot after another. They didn't eat lunch. They originally planned to eat chestnuts.

Seeing that chestnuts are selling so well now, I can’t bear to eat them even after frying them for two more times.

I still didn’t want to spend money on buying food, so I just had to endure it. Some people went to use bamboo tubes to fill the well water from the pressure wells and fill them up.

Just as they planned, after two pots, it was gone.

There they cooled the stones with water, and when they were cool, they put them in pots and carried them on the cart.

Looking at each other and smiling, they succeeded and made money.

It is easier to sell chestnuts than picking chestnuts from the mountains and selling them directly, and the money earned is more than double that of selling them.

"I need to find more people to pick chestnuts when I go back today, and if I ask Brother Guan to borrow a big pot, I'll do what Mr. Li said and I'll give him double the money after a hundred days."

Song Xiaodong was full of expectations for the future and shared his plans with other teenagers.

The young men nodded vigorously and grinned. Some laughed for a while and began to wipe their eyes with the back of their blackened hands.

I don’t know who couldn’t help it, but burst out crying, and everyone started crying together.

"Let's go, don't cry anymore, go back and eat." Song Xiaodong wiped his eyes, asked others to load things, and washed his hands.

I bought some rice that I was reluctant to eat on weekdays, went back to cook, and then went to Zuixianju to drink free soup and eat free pickles.

The next day they hired two carriages. The ox-carts were too slow. Unless they were driven hard, the ox-carts were no slower than horses.

There were more chestnuts this time, so the boys moved two large pots and brought rice.

The people who came out from the palace to buy found it and packed a pot of freshly roasted chestnuts and put them back in big baskets.

I was going to distribute food to the harem, but I didn't forget to send a basket of five tubes to the political hall.

"The skin of the chestnuts is easy to peel, there is no water in them, and they taste sweet." Zhang commented after peeling one.

The eunuch who delivered the things smiled and replied: "Li Yi gave advice to a group of teenagers from poor families in Lantian County."

"It's him again? Haha!" Lu Huaishen said while peeling a chestnut with a smile.

"If you want to teach, teach everyone. If you only teach some people, others will be anxious. Chestnuts are not only available in Lantian County."

Yao Chong thought about it and finally found a point to criticize Li Yi.

Zhang Shuo peeled another one: "After Long Ze went to Lijiazhuangzi, he bought a lot of red and blue pencils from Li Yi and sold them everywhere."

He said Bi Gou, after Bi Gou sold out 100 copies of the children's flower ruler, the craftsmen alliance learned it.

They can imitate the flower ruler, but they can't make red and blue pencils.

Bi Gou sent his family to wholesale from Lijiazhuangzi, and then went back to the city to sell them in batches. They were all pen refills.

Take the pen refill and wrap it with paper. After wrapping it, it becomes a pen.

Many children have new toys and don't run around. They stay at home and find a piece of newspaper to draw.

Some people can add a few strokes after painting with the Wanhua ruler to make something else.

"Why did he think of making money?" Lu Huaishen was not very clear. UＵReading ｗww.uuｋaｎshu.ｎet

Zhang Shuo knew: "He said that he, a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can't make money, how can he manage the accounts for the court?"

"We should collect his business tax. As a minister, he still makes this little money."

Yao Chong thought of the business tax. It would be good to collect it from Bi Gou.

"It is said that his family can make one coin a day, which is not a small amount of money." Zhang Shuo shook his head and threw half a chestnut in his mouth.

Lu Huaishen and Yao Chong were surprised. If they traded it, they could make one thousand coins a day?

If they continued to sell it like this for a year, it would be higher than their salary.

Bi Gou didn't have to do it himself. His servants took it and sold it, and it was done.

Zhang Shuo swallowed the chestnut: "I will ask your majesty if Li Yi has any similar business. My family also needs money."
