At this time, information is not smooth, logistics is inconvenient, and the people have very little money, so most businessmen do business very small. Although there are also wealthy businessmen, they are a minority, and they are basically related to the government to make money like this.

For example, the Osmanthus Xia family, who married the Xue family in Honglou, was just a flower and plant business, but because they were famous in the Ministry of Revenue, they made money and silver. But to be honest, their business was limited to "the Osmanthus Bureau in and outside the city, all belonged to his family", which was incomparable to the situation where modern chain stores are open all over the country.

Because of this, those merchants who came to purchase goods did not dare to enter too much, and the situation in Hecheng County can actually consume the amount of goods they have purchased.

Jiang Zhen got in a ship of cargo like this... They all thought Jiang Zhen was crazy.

Wang Haisheng was also a little embarrassed when he heard this. They had indeed bought a lot of goods. He felt that so many things would not be sold in his life...

"We plan to go around everywhere and sell as we go." Jiang Zhen explained, but did not say that he actually wanted to go to Fucheng to sell. Of course, if he told people that he wanted to go to Fucheng to sell, these people would probably not understand. There are also sea goods merchants in Fucheng. When Jiang Zhen went there to do business, how could he rob the local merchants there?

"So that's it. You go to remote villages more often, you should be able to sell some." The man said, and looked at Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng sympathetically. The two of them had not opened up their business, so they could only sleep around in the open and ran around...

These sea merchants stayed in this fishing village for a day and two nights before leaving. Jiang Zhen took this opportunity to learn about the situation in this fishing village and the private salt he had thought about before.

The salt outside is very expensive, but in this fishing village, no one makes salt and sells salt, and there are many reasons.

At this time, the salt making process was not as good as that of later generations. The salt in later generations was all exposed, and the manpower and material resources were not required, so the fine salt in supermarkets was only two or three yuan per pack, and one pack of cheap one yuan could be bought, but it was different these days.

Nowadays, people mainly rely on boiling salt on fire, so it is more troublesome to make salt.

Because of this, it is easier to control the people on the salt farm and prevent them from making salt. For example, in this fishing village, Hongjiang Salt Farm, people will be sent to see it from time to time. They found that someone cut wood and cooked too much salt here, either killing or grabbing it. Over time, no one dared to cook too much salt.

After knowing more, Jiang Zhen gave up his idea of ​​selling some private salt.

He didn't think he was so rebellious about selling private salt, because he didn't have much sense of belonging to the dynasty called Da Qi, and he didn't regard it as his country at all. Moreover, the price was so high that many people couldn't afford it, and in his opinion, it had passed.

Of course, he didn't plan to say that. He had such an idea before, mainly for his better life. In fact, if he traveled to the 1960s and 1970s, in order to live a good life, he would probably do some speculative things, reselling eggs and food coupons, etc.

After all, in essence, he does not agree with such a system.

However, he thought this way to improve his life, but he did not intend to lose his life. He found that the road was not working now, so Jiang Zhen decisively let it go, but it was a pity.

Their small fleet walked back early in the morning, and when they reached the place where the toll was charged 200 million tolls, someone boarded the boat to check.

The men who boarded the boat were full of fierce aura, and after they boarded the boat, they began to check what was on the boat, especially the salted fish.

When Jiang Zhen noticed this, he felt relieved. He had discovered before that no one who went with him bought too many salted fish. After thinking about it, he didn't buy much, but now it seems that he did it right.

"What did you get these things?" After the person who was on board inspecting the ship saw the cargo on Jiang Zhen's ship, he stabbed the clams that Bai Jiang Zhen had loaded with a fishing net with a knife.

"This is not worth it." Jiang Zhen restrained his momentum and hid in the darkness.

"Yes, I don't have money!" The man laughed twice, then stretched out his hand at Jiang Zhen: "Come on, two taels of silver."

Jiang Zhen asked nothing and gave the other party two taels of silver.

"Although I'm new, I'm very good at it." The man said to Jiang Zhen, jumped out of the boat and left.

Their small fleet was released. Until this time, those who came here with Jiang Zhen told some rules to Jiang Zhen, such as... if you buy two hundred kilograms of salted fish, you have to pay at least one tael of silver. The money will only be more, not less.

These people didn't seem to have rejected Jiang Zhen, but they were still disliked Jiang Zhen. However, Jiang Zhen didn't find it strange. After all, no one would like someone who competes for business with him.

It would be considered good for him if they were willing to bring him.

After saying hello to those people, Jiang Zhen separated from them. He and Wang Haisheng did not return to Hecheng County, but instead changed their route to the capital city.

How to sell my own cargo? In fact, Jiang Zhen already had an idea in the fishing village by the sea.

It took almost a day to go to Fucheng by the sea. Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng walked slowly along the river. In the evening, they arrived at Fucheng.

Along the way, both Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng were very busy. One of them rowed the boat, and the other one soaked the dry kelp. At first, they used the traditional method to cut the kelp into several sections before soaking it. Later, Jiang Zhen was upset and could not put too much water on the boat. He simply tied the dry kelp with a rope and threw them directly into the water, so that they soaked in the river for a while before fishing it up.

After he took it up, he took a brush to wash the kelp and cleaned the strips of kelp.

As for why Jiang Zhen did this, it was related to how to eat kelp and how people sold kelp at this time.

People on the beach will make kelp into dry kelp and sell it to sea merchants. When sea merchants sell it, they will directly sell dry kelp.

But the treatment of dry kelp is quite troublesome. It not only needs to be soaked for a day and a night, but also needs to be scrubbed. That's fine. When you buy it, you will find that it is very big after soaking it!

A family often cannot finish a kelp if they eat for several days.

Because of this, in modern times, whether in supermarkets or vegetable markets, kelp is basically sold by soaking and cutting, and customers want to buy as much as they want, but at this time, everyone has only sold dry kelp.

Dried kelp is black and gray, and the appearance is really not very good. The price of a kelp is not cheap. I buy it as much as a pound of kelp. It is the same price as pork.

Even if a pound of kelp is soaked, it is still not very willing to buy it except for the Chinese New Year.

Jiang Zhen planned to soak the kelp and cut it open before selling it.

It takes a lot of effort to do this, but if you can sell it, you will probably make a lot more money than selling dry kelp, and it is easy to sell it.

After arriving at the mansion and parked the ship outside the city, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng were busy.

They soaked the kelp in the river, washed it clean, cut off the parts that were not good, and then cut it into thin strips.

The two of them were sore in their hands when they kept cutting the ground. They finally cut out 300 kilograms of kelp. The 300 kilograms of kelp actually only used 100 kilograms of dry seaweed.

More importantly, the bundles of dried kelp looked quite small, but when the soaking was opened, it suddenly became very numerous...

The city is very big, and every morning, nearby people will come to the city to sell their own vegetables. Some of them sell them from the streets, while others sell them in fixed places.

On that day, a ship appeared in a river in the city. There were two men on the ship who were here to sell seafood.

There is a special store selling seafood in Fucheng. People here like to buy it in familiar places, so no one noticed the two men at the beginning until one shouted: "Keep! Kelp is a penny per bowl!"

A bowl of kelp for a penny?

How did you sell kelp bowls?

Many people looked over in surprise and found that someone was selling turquoise green kelp. The kelp was washed clean and looked very attractive.

"How to sell this kelp?" asked an old lady carrying a basket.

"It's just that much, a penny." Jiang Zhen grabbed a handful of seaweed and brought it to the old lady.

He grabbed a handful of kelp, but he could cook it home and have a bowl of it, but in fact he didn't have much weight. At least he made two or three times as much as selling dried kelp.

He made a profit, and the old lady was very satisfied. She couldn't bear to ask her to spend twenty or thirty yuan to sell a large piece of kelp, but she was willing to spend a penny to add a dish on the table.

After the old lady bought kelp first, the others came, most of them asked for kelp for a penny, and some asked kelp for two or three cents, so they asked Jiang Zhen to grab one more.

"If you catch more, I will lose money?" Jiang Zhen smiled and did not give the other party more kelp, but took two clams from the side to give them to someone: "Take this, you can play with the children."

Many people in this mansion were stunned by the moment they had never seen the clams before: "What is this?"

"The meat in the river clams in the sea can be eaten, but it is relatively small." Jiang Zhen said. He had always been in Hexi Village before, and he always looked like he was not allowed to enter. He was not a fan of people in nature and did not like to attract customers with a smile, but he was short of money.

In the past, I didn’t work to do something to do tasks? Didn’t I just sell things more enthusiastically? Actually, there was nothing.

Of course, he had to do this mainly because Wang Haisheng not only did not know how to attract customers, but he could not even count and could not calculate the money.

Jiang Zhen’s stall was placed by the river, and their boat was parked in the river. At this moment, Jiang Zhen was responsible for selling things, while Wang Haisheng continued to wash kelp.

They have to go to the business for at least one day, and Wang Haisheng is busy with tomorrow's business now.

Jiang Zhen picked up a lot of clams, mainly used as a supplementary head, and sold some. When buying them, Jiang Zhen would also say a few words: "There is sand in this thing. If you want to eat it, it is best to keep it for a few days, or you will cook it and dig out the meat, wash it and then cook it with pickles." People here often cook it with pickles when eating river clams.

At the end of the day, all three hundred kilograms of kelp were sold, and a lot of salted fish were sold, and even those clams were sold half of them.

The price of salted fish is the same as others, and they don’t make much money, but kelp is very profitable. Although the price is cheap, it accumulates more.

It’s just like this that it’s time for them to sell so many kelp to be sold for many days. They should still be very busy during this period.

Last night, Jiang Zhen was busy getting kelp and didn't sleep well. Today, he really didn't want to be busy anymore. After thinking about it, he simply spent two salted fish as big as a palm to "hire" a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy to help.

The next day, Jiang Zhen continued to sell kelp.

Those who bought kelp for a penny yesterday have basically eaten up all the kelp, and some will buy some more today. In addition, some new customers will come to buy...

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng sold the kelp that had been soaked and cut into shreds for ten days. Later, their business was not very good because other sea merchants in the city also learned to soak and cut into shreds for shreds.

After finally thinking of a way to make money, he could only make one. Jiang Zhen felt it was a pity, but after counting the money in his hands, he was very satisfied.

This time he purchased goods and paid for the purchase of the road, he used about twelve taels of silver, but in the past few days, he sold thirty taels of silver.

In other words, he made a total of 18 taels of money this time, and he almost made back the money from buying a boat.

Of course, while making money, they are also very tired...

Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng discussed it and decided to take a day off before going back, but they didn't know that at this time, Brother Zhao's family had been entangled.
