Chapter 362

That layer of crisp flour wrapped with the flavor of meat, lips and teeth, aftertaste: "this moon cake tastes good, I really like it, this is a business to cooperate with you."

He said, with a few different patterns of moon cakes, to the housekeeper tasted.

"Thank you, master." The housekeeper was flattered. When he ate moon cakes, he looked satisfied, just like he was treating the most delicious thing in the world.

Zhang Man'er immediately sat down and looked at their admiration. He asked in a daze: "master LAN, I heard master LAN say that you are also in business, but you are superior to others. You have an intersection with some of the top officials in the capital. How can we have cooperation?"

With these words, Zhang Man'er's eyes turned around several times. Looking at the two people's eating habits, could it be that she had a fancy to her moon cakes, and wanted to buy a batch of them and transport them to the capital?

But is it too late? It's two days and three nights on August 15. It's too late even if the horse goes on and on, isn't it?

Master LAN said to her smart eyes: "Zhang Man'er, don't you all guess? Yes, I'm interested in your moon cakes. I'm going to order some and send them to the capital. "

Zhang Man'er was not dazzled by the sudden news, but asked realistically“ Master LAN, it's 13 years old today. It's only three days to make a full budget. Besides, moon cakes need to be baked. How can we have time? "

At this moment, she knew that the boxes of moon cakes sent by Zhang Dahai had played a role. She was happy to be affirmed by master LAN, but she also had some regrets. If she had known earlier, she should have sent them at the first time. Maybe she would have received a big order and made a lot of money, but it was not appropriate to send them early.

After all, the Mid Autumn Festival is not yet here?

It's too late this year, only next year. Besides, Qingshui town alone can make a lot of money, so don't think about anything else.

If there is an opportunity, the cooperation next year will be the same.

For this question, the housekeeper standing on one side immediately explained: "little lady, it's like this. Generally speaking, it's a ten day journey from Qingshui town to the capital. If it's fast, it's a four or five day journey."

After knowing something about the journey, Zhang Man'er even opened his mouth and asked, "that's it. Anyway, it's too late."

Master LAN said with a smile: "Zhang Man'er, you don't know. There's a saying among the people that the moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day. Our people celebrate the Mid Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of August, but those people in the capital are different. They want to celebrate the festival when the moon is the most round. Last year, the moon was eighteen. This year, someone has seen the astronomical phenomena, and the moon is twenty. So this time is very urgent. "

A full moon is a rare phenomenon in a hundred years. This year's Mid Autumn Festival will be paid special attention by people in Beijing. If there are exquisite moon cakes, it will be icing on the cake.

"It turns out that there is some truth in this statement." Zhang Man'er was surprised and said that the good luck could not be stopped.

Master LAN coughed and ate the moon cake slowly. The housekeeper nearby immediately understood: "little lady, the semicolons of our blue house are all over many places. The semicolons in the capital are the most. They mainly sell grain and oil, cloth. The food is also for military supplies. The cloth is also excellent silk and satin. They are all for the noble people in the palace. This time, our master is going to order tens of thousands of moon cakes with you, and this box of moon cakes needs 1000 boxes. You can calculate the price. Is it cheaper to buy in such a large quantity? "

Zhang Man'er's heart is beating fast. The number is amazing. It can crush her.

It's a thousand boxes in a wooden box. How can it be in time? It's very difficult to carve these boxes. Muyang's hand is so fast that it can carve two or three boxes a day at most.

"This... Let's not talk about anything else. If you calculate by the 20th, except for your journey, you must deliver the goods within three days. For such a large quantity, it's..." Zhang Man'er calculated, but he couldn't hand it over.

In recent days, the workshop has been very busy. She is working hard on the mid autumn moon cakes. If she works for three days and three nights, it may be possible to ship them, but she can't ask for money and her life.

"Why, is there a problem? This is a rare opportunity. You should know that after this cooperation, even if you catch the fast horse of blue mansion, you will have different status from now on. That's to supply goods to the capital. They are all dignitaries. Think about it. What a great honor it is. "

The more the housekeeper said, the more excited he was, and Zhang Man'er's heart was calm from the beginning.

Instead of being dazed by the blueprints, she quickly calculated them in her mind and said, "master LAN, housekeeper Fu, first of all, thank you for looking up to me, but we can't really do this quantity. What's more, it's rare. If the quantity is large, things will depreciate. Although I haven't been to the capital, I've heard that the moon cakes in the capital are also well made. Look at this... "

The competition is fierce, and she can't guarantee that her moon cake will stand out.

After listening to these words, master LAN smoothed his beard and looked at Zhang Man'er with new eyes. The woman was not seduced by greed, but calmly analyzed the problem. Instead, she was an honest businessman. The problem she raised was his negligence.

"In your opinion, how much is appropriate?" Originally, the 1000 boxes of moon cakes were aimed at the palace, as well as those dignitaries.

Seeing that he was willing to compromise, Zhang Man'er looked a little more serious: "since master LAN has contacts with the palace, he has to pack a hundred boxes of moon cakes and send them to the palace. After all, it's the palace's priority to taste fresh food."

The imperial palace is the most luxurious and noble place with unlimited power. If their moon cakes are also available to ministers, they will not realize the unique dignity.

Master LAN thought about it and even thought it was reasonable. He gritted his teeth and said, "that's OK. How much can you give for an ordinary moon cake, and what's the price?"

Zhang Man'er dipped his finger in some tea and quickly painted on the table. They couldn't understand the ghost.

She uses the Modern Arabic numerals and the method of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division to calculate. Her fingers are as green as jade. After several times of tapping on the desktop.

Zhang Man'er finally looked up and said, "there are 2000 ordinary moon cakes. If the price is reasonable, we can sign a contract."

The price she said is two or three Wen cheaper than the one sold in the shop. The price of the moon cakes sold in the shop is very affordable, which is equal to the price of the workshop. In modern terms, it will be the wholesale price. Although the profit is small, the quantity is huge and considerable. If you calculate roughly, you can earn 2000 Liang silver. "

After all, it's a large quantity. If there are two thousand moon cakes, even if one moon cake earns a cent, there will be two thousand Liang.

Besides, it's far more than that. It's estimated that we can earn 3000 taels of silver.
