Wu Wulang immediately decided to go to Xiao Yuanzheng tomorrow with a batch of vegetables, meat and eggs. He immediately handed over the counter to Bai Shan and Bai Erlang, and went to the back kitchen to pick things out.
A lot of things in the restaurant were sent from Yongzhou. After all, the products produced at home are free, which is much cheaper than buying them outside.
Among them were eggs and a few chickens, but Zhao Liulang told him, "The chickens are all killed, and now they are almost ready to be cooked. By the way, there will be no more chicken dishes outside in a while, but there are still some eggs. If you want What are you here for?"
Zhou Wulang said: "Gifts."
He glanced at the eggs in the basket, and finally rummaged to find a small basket, and replaced the eggs, so that he could see that there were so many eggs that they pointed out, which was much more generous than the big basket that was not full.
Xiao Yuanzheng received a basket of eggs and a basket of vegetables early in the morning, and then he was stunned for a moment before realizing it, and then he smiled and assigned a servant to take Zhou Wulang to the manager of Huangzhuang.
Xiao Yuan was looking down at the eggs in the basket, took one and asked, "How does Master Wu plan to sell this egg?"
Wu Wulang had already discussed with Bai Shan before coming, and immediately said: "Two cents a piece, regardless of size, but for every thousand full eggs, we will give you ten."
He smiled embarrassedly and said, "Small business, our Zhuangzi only has eight or nine hundred eggs in total now, and we may be able to make up a thousand eggs in another ten days."
So they don't have a lot of eggs, and they can be sold out in bulk.
Xiao Yuanzheng smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, he nodded and said: "This price is not bad."
Seeing pumpkins and wax gourds in his vegetable basket, he simply asked him the price.
Zhou Wulang knew that they had a large quantity, so he simply quoted them a price of 100 catties, which was lower than the market price.
Xiao Yuanzheng's eyes were colder, but he still had a smile on his face, and asked people to take Wu Wulang to the Huangzhuang, but he had to go to the palace first.
The smile on his face fell as soon as he got into the carriage, and the carriage started to move. He tightly pursed the corners of his mouth and did not speak, but in the end he couldn't hold back his anger and swept the things on the table onto the carriage board.
The coachman outside was startled, and couldn't help shouting: "Master?"
Xiao Yuan said with a sullen face: "It's okay, continue to enter the palace."
After entering the imperial hospital, the imperial doctors who met face to face couldn't help but put away their smiles, lowered their heads and greeted Xiao Yuanzheng, then stepped aside, and waited for a long time before he walked past before starting to move.
Physician Liu is old and feels shallow, and entered the palace earlier than him. At this time, he was drinking a cup of hot tea. When he saw Xiao Yuan coming in, he put down the cup to salute, and only picked it up again after the other party waved. He warmed his hands with hot tea, and followed him into the office room with a stomp, and asked with a smile, "It's so early in the morning, who made Yuanzheng angry?"
Xiao Yuan was snorting coldly and said: "The purchases at Huangzhuang have gone too far."
Imperial Physician Liu was surprised, "Didn't you check the bill, and the price is not much different from the purchase price in the palace?"
Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment and then fell silent.
It took a while for Imperial Physician Liu to realize, "It's not true what Zhou Man said... They just withheld some money, so it shouldn't be much, right?"
Xiao Yuanzheng sneered and said, "It's not much, just double."
Doctor Liu stopped talking.
Xiao Yuan was lucky and said: "The partial price is about the same as the one bought into the palace. If this matter breaks out, it will not be one or two offenders. It will be the people in our Taiyuan Hospital who will suffer and suffer."
Imperial Physician Liu took a sip of tea slowly, rejoicing that he had not been the acting principal long ago. Sure enough, being the chief official is easy to short life.
He waited for the tea to fall into his stomach, and he felt a warm feeling rise before asking him, "That courtyard is planning to..."
Xiao Yuanzheng closed his eyes and said: "I have no plans, let's just muddle through this matter like this, otherwise, what should I do, is the Tai Hospital meddling in the palace's procurement? I don't want to be enemies with the entire inner court. "
"However, the Imperial Medical Office spends a lot of money. The Ministry of Accounts only pays a part of the money here, and most of it is paid by His Majesty. Our Majesty, you know that if the cost is too high and the money in the internal treasury is cut off, he will surely It will be pushed to the Ministry of Accounts, and getting money from the Ministry of Accounts is like going to the sky." Xiao Yuan said: "So we don't have such a large capital expenditure, and I want to leave most of the purchasing matters to Zhou Yu."
Imperial Physician Liu: "Zhou Man's Fifth Brother?"
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, "I've already had someone lead him to Huangzhuang. It depends on what the steward over there does. If he knows how to advance and retreat, then we will hello, hello, hello everyone, otherwise..."
Xiao Yuanzheng sneered, "Our hospital is not so easy to bully."
Imperial Physician Liu took another sip of tea, and said after a long while: "I was on duty last night, and His Majesty didn't call anyone. I heard that His Majesty is much better."
Xiao Yuanzheng took a few deep breaths, squeezed out a warm smile on his face, and said gently: "I see, today is the small court meeting, Your Majesty should be coming to an end soon, I'll go take his pulse."
Xiao Yuanzheng got up with a warm face, and went to consult the emperor with his medical assistant.
At this time, Friday Lang had a conversation with the purchasing manager of Huangzhuang. Wu Wulang was reminded by Bai Shan yesterday that he was ready to be embarrassed today. After all, the eggs he bought were five cents, or even six cents. For one piece of money, it can be considered that he has cut off other people's money.
However, he would have no money if he kept getting other people's money, so he could only cut off other people's money, not to mention that it was not a very righteous way of getting money.
But beyond Wu Wulang's expectation, the other party was kind to him, but after looking at the eggs, he didn't ask him the price, but directly set the price: "I think your eggs are average, so I can only give you five cents." One, what do you think?"
The smile on Zhou Wulang's face paused, and he doubted his ears, "It's five cents for one, isn't it five cents for three?"
The steward took a deep look at him and smiled kindly: "Of course not, you see we have even drawn up the contract, you can take a look."
Zhou Wulang took it, and saw that it was written in detail that the other party and he bought eggs, and he would provide them with 300 eggs every day, and each egg cost five cents...
Wu Wulang was silent for a while, and then he forced a smile on his face and said: "I know that the steward is kind, and to show my sincerity, I am willing to lower the price a little, and sell it to Tai Hospital for two cents each."
The steward smiled faintly, and said with a half-smile: "Master Zhou is generous, but we are a yamen, and we can't let the people suffer, so let's just pay five cents a piece, and the deeds are all drafted, so write another one." It’s too troublesome, just sign this one.”
He glanced at the vegetables in his other basket, smiled and said: "It's easy to say, we want all of these vegetables, and send a hundred catties a day, pumpkin, how about two hundred coins for a hundred catties? These are all deeds."
