Li Cheng didn't expect the people doing business here to support Wang's Zhuangzi so much. In order to find out if they really don't charge taxes, they went elsewhere to get something to sell.
After changing his clothes, he brought two baskets of spinach to this side, and yelled no matter how many people were around him.
"Spinach, spinach, fresh spinach for a penny and two catties."
After yelling a few times, the people around really gathered together, all looking at him with a look that he felt uncomfortable, and some even shook their heads, but none of them were willing to buy.
"Auntie, you can buy some spinach, sell it cheaply, it costs two catties a penny." Seeing that others did not buy it, Li Cheng took the initiative to attract customers, and saw an elderly woman come to see and told her it's cheaper.
The aunt curled her lips and muttered: "A very nice young man, why is it so dark, a penny and two catties, wait to be driven."
When I said this, the voice was not loud, but Li Cheng still heard it. I don't understand why the aunt said he was dark. Is it expensive? No, when he bought it, it was a penny and two catties, and he paid some fares for nothing. He would never be so stupid that he picked it up by himself, hired a car or two, and picked it up here.
Just when he was puzzled, a voice from the side came over, "Master Li has nothing to do, come here to have fun? Why don't you lie to Li Gongzi's face? Today, I won’t rush people, please please, Li Gongzi."
Li Cheng looked up and saw a man in a coarse blouse standing by his side, looking at him.
"How do you know me? Who are you?" Li Cheng asked suspiciously.
"Young Master Li is a noble person, so naturally I don’t know me, but I can’t help but know Young Master Li, the person in charge of Li’s Zhuangzi, and with such a distinguished status, he even went here to sell spinach. I think Mr. Li’s spinach is a bit small and a bit small. Yellowing, isn't it from Lijiazhuangzi? The spinach over there is better than this, and the price is three jins per penny.
Could it be that Li Gongzi ran away to buy expensive ones and sold them back? Haoyahing, I knew that Li Gongzi was like this, so I sold it to Li Gongzi, oh, my name is Ergou, and now I specialize in the pricing of this market. You want to sell spinach, let’s say, it costs five catties a penny. "
Ergou’s mouth was polite, but the look on his face was not polite at all. He didn’t know where Li Cheng got the spinach from, so he didn’t mention it when he was young. Some of them might be tender spinach. The leaves of this spinach are all yellow, and they dare to sell it for a penny and two catties.
As for how he knew about Li Cheng, of course others told him. Some people around Zhuangzi who have a face have special people who collect something and tell them to do business. Including the guy in Shuiyunjian, he will get a piece of paper with a portrait. , Be sure to remember the nobles nearby.
How did Li Cheng know this? He looked at his spinach, stood up and looked at others selling it, frowning, and felt that it was indeed a lot worse. They called for a penny and three catties, and they would go to that green oil from time to time. Pour some clear water on the leaves of the vegetables, which looks fresher. The person who buys the vegetables will deduct some money for the clear water after the weighing is finished. The water also accounts for the weight.
Li Cheng saw with his own eyes that a person exchanged six catties of spinach with a small packet of bad tea, and left happily. The spinach seller gave the tea to the old man at the tea stand, and the old man took out a penny and two. Put the white melon seeds, even if they are topped.
Seeing these things, Li Cheng didn’t know what to do. He looked at Ergou who was waiting next to him, and suddenly said with a smile: “It turns out that it’s Ergou brother. , Can the tax be paid by tomorrow?"
"Young Master Li wants to put me in jail. When did you collect taxes? Young Master Li is willing to sell. Remember to ask for a penny and five catties. If you think it's cheap, go back to the Zhuangzi. In the Li family's Zhuangzi, spinach It can be sold for a penny and three catties, of course you have to choose a good one."
When Ergou heard what Li Cheng said, he knew what his idea was. Not to mention that taxes are not collected here. They were collected before. At this time, they have to change it. When they talked to Li Cheng, they smiled contemptuously. laugh.
Li Cheng finally had no choice but to shout to the people around him: "For a penny for six catties, which one is willing to buy?"
He wanted to sell these broken things as soon as possible, and continue to find the expert. Since there is no trouble finding here, staying here is a waste of time. He originally thought that for a penny and six catties, many people would buy it. Knowing that after yelling, the people around took a few steps back at the same time.
Li Cheng was dumbfounded. Ergou clearly said that a penny was five catties, so why didn't anyone buy it when he sold six catties? Just when he couldn't figure it out, a well-meaning person said to him: "Ergou has already said that your spinach costs five jin, why don't you know whether it's good or bad? You have to sell Liuwen."
Heard this. Li Cheng understands, it turns out that the price is so evil. The price is as much as it is. It cannot be high or low. He is not a fool. He immediately understands the key points. Who is responsible for the price, then the final benefit will be In whose hands.
For example, there are many people selling salted eggs today, and the price is set for two for a penny, so Ergou can naturally buy a lot of them. The bulk of the transaction is controlled by him. When there are fewer people selling salted eggs tomorrow, He ordered two pennies for three, and then earned an egg. This kind of rule cannot be underestimated, and all kinds of things that are bought and sold can be used.
In this way, what tax is still used? Just relying on this pricing power, you can make a lot of money. A good method. The price is determined by the amount and fineness of the goods. Naturally, others will not have any opinions on the day, so you can not sell it. As long as you sell it, then It will be cheaper.
"You are lying, and you have benefited from it. Everyone, don't believe him. The prices he said are all in his favor."
Li Cheng finally broke out, accused Ergou, and then began to persuade the people around him to come. When he wanted to come, everyone would scold Ergou and unite to oppose it.
Who knows that when he finished speaking, everyone around looked at him with foolish eyes, and the kind people stood up and said to him: "Young man, hurry home and look for someone to take a look. Oh, it's so poor. It’s not easy in this world."
When others heard what this person said, they nodded. It seemed that Li Chengzhen was very sick. Li Cheng listened and felt his lungs almost didn't explode. When he didn't know what to say, a person next to him gently pulled. Clicking on his sleeves, when Li Cheng turned his head to look, the man said:
"It’s in charge of Li, I’m the owner of Li’s Zhuangzi, don’t say anything. Others thought you were sick. Who doesn’t know how Ergou can get benefits from it when pricing? But do you know what those benefits are doing? It turned out that if you want to put the goods here until the evening, you need to pay something or money, but now you don’t need it.
The money earned by Ergou is to repair those warehouses for everyone, and you see the four brawny guys next to him were hired with this money. If someone comes to make trouble or bully us, the four will rush forward. After a blast, when it was sent to the government, everyone understood.
And if you look at the hot weather, if any trader gets a heatstroke, Ergou will find someone to treat him. In the end, he will only charge a capital. Anyway, selling here does not pay for it. It’s better than being bullied elsewhere. Well, everyone is used to it, Mr. Li, you should go to your own business. "
The man finished speaking, and opened his own stall. The same thing was spinach. Just as Ergou said, a penny was three catties, and the person next to him wanted to eat, but he took out a few coins. , Or exchange it with other things. There are so many kinds of things, everything is available, Ergou is busy now, telling someone which things are worth more from time to time.
While talking, he took out the writing sign. Not only did it write the price of something, but if there were those who didn't know the characters, they could also calculate the value of their own things based on the patterns above.
Li Cheng stood there and no one paid any more attention to him. He also relied that his status was not low, otherwise he would have been kicked out. Others didn't listen to Ergou's pricing. They all said that the money was used in the market.
But he was still a bit unwilling. Waiting for Ergou to be almost busy, he found Ergou and said, "Brother Ergou, I want to buy and sell some things from your side. I don’t know how the price is calculated? For example, my spinach, here you are. How much will it be given? A lot of it."
"Same? The penny is five kilograms, I will charge as much as you have." Ergou clearly knew that Li Cheng was not sincere, but he still answered his words.
"Then, if I buy the same spinach from you, how much is a catty, I can also buy more." Li Cheng asked again.
"Prince Li, I don't sell this kind of spinach now, you can't buy it, unless you are willing to spend more money, such as a penny one catty, a penny two catties." Ergou returned him again.
"So you sell if it's expensive, don't you sell it if it's cheaper?"
"No, I won't sell it if it's expensive. If you want to buy it, you can go to Shuiyunjian, where someone will help you find such things, but you have to pay a certain fee." Ergou would not give Li Cheng a chance at all. .
Now Li Cheng couldn't help it, so he had to thank him and turned and left. As for the spinach, they were given to the Li family's dealer, so he could sell it back and eat something good.
After a few tens of feet, Li Cheng still felt awkward. What is it called? I can't find any trouble. I was thinking about it. Suddenly I found that there was a figure in front of me who was familiar. He hurried two steps, and then another. Look, Li Cheng was happy. It was the expert he had seen, but he didn't expect him to come out.
"Hey, the one in front, wait a minute, I have something to say, something big." Li Cheng yelled as he ran forward.
The man stopped and returned Li Cheng's unpredictable smile.
