Chapter 2 [Easy 31 times profit]
With this preparation, it will be easy for Lin Zeruo to obtain a legal identity in this world.
The local government welcomes the naturalization and taxation of mountain residents with both hands and feet.
They usually even send large armies into the mountains to capture mountain people and savages. Naturally, they will not resist people like Lin Ze who are willing to take the initiative to go out of the mountains.
Because this represents the expansion of the tax base of the Zhou Dynasty, it is a solid political achievement for local officials.
After listening to Lin Ze's words, the old man suddenly understood.
Successfully led to the direction Lin Ze wanted.
I feel that since Lin Ze looks like this, since he is not a noble son of a certain family, he is most likely a disciple of a certain hermit master who is now traveling down the mountain.
The old man has seen this several times in his decades of life experience.
"I'm An Ye, the head of Lianghe Village."
"How do you sell this frosting, my descendant?"
The old man introduced himself without saying his first name.
This is something that belongs to scholars and nobles. It would be nice for common people like him to have a formal name.
He didn’t mention selling medicinal materials to Lin Ze, but first asked about the goods he sold.
After introducing himself, Anye expressed his intention to buy icing sugar.
Just like Lin Ze said, sugar is a good thing, except for satisfying the desires of the mouth and tongue.
During busy farming times or when you are sick, you can also rely on eating sugar to quickly replenish your energy, and sometimes it can even be used to save your life.
Normally, only nobles and wealthy families can freely enjoy the frosting. Now that they have the opportunity to buy it, they naturally cannot miss it.
Of course, the premise is not too expensive.
"So that the elders will know that my frosting is fifty cents and one tael, and it's called rock sugar. Please try it."
Lin Ze took out an oil paper bag from the donkey cart. After opening it, he could see many small pieces of transparent rock sugar.
First, he randomly took a piece from the oil paper bag and ate it himself, and then Lin Zecai randomly took another piece and gave it to the village chief named An Ye.
This kind of behavior is to show that there is no problem with the things you sell, so that customers can feel at ease.
Although An Ye has not read much, he has matured and understood Lin Ze's intentions.
He took a deep look, admiring the young man's sophistication in his heart, and took the rock candy and ate it.
For a moment, the sweetness filled his mouth, and the old village chief squinted his eyes, showing an expression of enjoyment.
The conditions of his family are good, with many acres of land, and his three sons are all famous hunters, otherwise they would not be able to afford dry rice and meat.
But the piece of rock candy in his mouth was still a sweet taste that he rarely tasted in his life.
I originally thought that fifty cents per tael of frosting was very expensive, after all, a pound of rice only cost eight cents.
But at this moment, I feel that the price is not only not expensive, but even worth it.
The young man in front of me does business with sincerity!
"Here are four ounces of rock candy."
Anye spoke to Lin Ze grandly.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Lin Ze smiled and spoke, taking out a scale from the car that was specially made according to this world's measurement unit.
I raised the scale head high and weighed about four ounces of rock sugar.
"Four taels and one qian of rock candy, sincere benefit of 200 yuan."
After weighing it, Lin Ze wrapped the rock sugar and handed it to the old village chief.
Anye looked at Lin Ze with more friendly eyes at this time.
This is really sincerity for the young man who only charges a small amount of money. He got an extra 1 cent of icing sugar, which is worth 5 cents!
It’s such a waste of money!
"Here, here are two hundred coins."
Anye took two small bunches of copper coins from his son on the side, each one worth one hundred coins, and handed them to Lin Ze.
Just now when Lin Ze was weighing sweets, Anye asked his son to go home and get the money, but now it was just right.
After taking the copper coins and counting them a little, Lin Ze also had a smile on his face.
He also felt that he was making a fortune.
He buys rock sugar from the wholesale market in the main world. A pound of rock sugar only costs four yuan.
If we use simple rice prices to convert, one pound of rock sugar can buy almost 62 pounds of rice in this world. Calculated based on the two yuan per pound of rice in the main world, it is 124 yuan.
It seems that Lin Ze simply sold four taels of rock candy and didn't make much money, but the profit was a full 31 times.
If you sell too much, it will be easy to get rich.
"Do you still want to buy icing?"
After the transaction with the old village chief ended, Lin Ze turned his attention to the other villagers watching the excitement.
Looking at Lin Ze, many villagers had emotions in their eyes.
The family conditions of the villagers vary, but living near the Yunwu Mountains, surrounded by mountains and rivers and relatively rich in products, is not too bad.
There are still conditions for buying some candy to improve your life.
The transaction process between Lin Ze and the village chief just now also established initial trust between the two parties.
I had my first impression of Lin Ze as an honest salesman.
"I'll take a tael of rock candy."
"I'll give you two taels."
...
Sounds came one after another, and soon many villagers from Lianghe Village gathered around Lin Ze to pay and buy the amount of rock candy they needed.
Lin Ze collected the money and finished counting.
While weighing the rock sugar for many villagers, he wrapped it in oil paper and handed it to the customers.
I am also silently calculating the profits of my trip.
"Yes, I sold a total of three kilograms and eight taels of rock sugar, earning 1,900 copper coins, which is 475 yuan based on the price of rice. The cost was only 15.2 yuan, and the net profit was almost 460 yuan."
After getting the results, Lin Ze was in a good mood.
If you want to earn more than 400 yuan in the main world, even highly educated people need to work steadily for a whole day to earn this income, but he only spent a few minutes now.
I have to say that the transactions between the two worlds are really huge profits!
"Then I'll say goodbye. If any of you folks go into the mountains and pick precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and polygonum multiflorum, you must keep them for me and buy them at a high price."
After weighing the candies to all the villagers in Lianghe Village who wanted to buy candies, Lin Ze handed over his hands and prepared to leave after seeing that no one had any intention of selling the rare medicinal materials.
Before leaving, I did not forget to tell the villagers that I purchased rare medicinal materials at high prices.
"Easy to say, easy to say, Mr. Lin will come again next time."
Because Lin Ze weighed the sugar to the villagers in full portions, many villagers in Lianghe Village now had a good impression of Lin Ze.
They all said goodbye to Lin Ze and expressed their welcome to come back next time.
"Is this pine fungus in your bowl?"
After Lin Ze said goodbye, he pretended to cast his gaze casually into a villager's bowl.
In the other person's bowl, there is some porridge cooked with mushrooms.
"Ah yes, Lin Langjun."
The villager Anshi who was asked gave a positive answer.
"That's perfect. Some elders in my family like to eat this very much. Do you still have it at home? I can buy it for eight cents a pound."
Lin Ze smiled and said the main purpose of his trip here.
Pine fungus is also called matsutake in the main world.
"I can't do it, I can't do it, Mr. Lin, since your elder likes to eat it, I'll just give you some."
"You just gave me two extra cents of rock candy and some miscellaneous bacteria. How can I charge you for that?"
