Chapter 382 Taking Advantage of the Lady
"Miss Xiao, the signal smoke that Young Master Jiayuan and the others made is really good!" Shi Lizheng talked about the signal smoke again, saying, "We tested it today. Once it's lit, it can be seen from a long distance. If something happens, it will be much more convenient to send a message!"
Fu'an tribute oranges have a good name, and the emperor has not treated them badly. Every time Shi Lizheng goes out, he is very happy to hear everyone's envious words and see everyone's envious eyes. But at the same time, Shi Lizheng is really worried that others will be jealous and harm their oranges!
"I heard that there are more and more people in the village now. The orange protection team will be safer when the rotation is over." Xiao Jiuyue reminded: "We can use the method of the old people to guide the new ones. That way, there will be more people available in the future!"
"Don't worry, Miss Xiao. Anyone who wants to join the guard team must be guaranteed by their entire family!" Shi Lizheng has also discussed this with the villagers. Regardless of the safety of the villagers or Orange, the members of the guard team must have no bad intentions!
…
The autumn harvest is still going on, and the grain harvest is still abundant. On the third day after Xiao Jiuyue returned home, he met Aisan!
"Aishan, are you going to be a savage?" When Xiao Jiuyue saw Aishan, he had become darker, which made his teeth look even whiter.
Aishan grinned and said, "I went to Xijiang and saw this."
"Miss Xiao, last time you said you would take as many Polo bottles as you wanted. Is that true?" Aishan stared at Xiao Jiuyue with burning eyes, fearing that her words would go astray if she disagreed.
"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue nodded and said, "It's just right that you're here. How many Polo bottles do you have?"
Aisan's eyes were filled with worry, and he hesitated and didn't dare to speak.
Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow: "Is this a little, or a lot?"
"Miss Xiao, to be honest, after selling those 5,000 Polo bottles last time, didn't you order another 100,000? I see you've used them all up, so this time when I'm going to Xijiang Country, I..."
Aishan's eyes were filled with uneasiness, and he said, "Maybe I bought a lot before, so Xijiangguo also made a lot!"
"No matter how many there are, I will buy them all!" Xiao Jiuyue raised her lips slightly when she heard this. She was worried that it was too little!
Polo bottles are the most suitable for canning food. In the future, she wants to sell the canned food all over South Vietnam, so she would never think that these Polo bottles are too many.
Polo bottles are also used to store chili sauce and fermented bean curd, which are good things with a long shelf life.
"Are you serious?" Ai Shan was afraid that Xiao Jiuyue was lying, so he directly handed the agreement to Xiao Jiuyue to sign and said, "Miss Xiao, words are not enough!"
Xiao Jiuyue glanced at the agreement, looked at Aishan with a half-smile and said, "I'm talking about this time. Your agreement didn't make it clear. If you make a Polo bottle worth one or two million in the future, I can't live on it, right?"
Xiao Jiuyue knew very well what she wanted. She needed a large quantity, but she had to control the amount!
Aisan... he seems good now, but what about the future? Who knows if he'll have other ideas after making money?
"Miss Xiao, I, I'm talking about this time." Aishan blushed and explained anxiously: "Yes, I didn't write it clearly."
His face was red all the way to his neck. Aishan didn't dare to keep it a secret anymore and said, "I won't hide it from Miss Xiao. This time, we brought back 300,000 Polo bottles from Xijiang, just the size that Miss Xiao wanted!"
Lianxin, who was serving tea, almost dropped the tray in her hand after hearing this. She looked at Aishan in disbelief. He, he was so brave!
"This is the size I want, so how many other sizes do you have?" Xiao Jiuyue grasped the key point at once.
Aishan felt even more uneasy. He took out the smallest bottle from his pocket and said, "There are 10,000 of this kind, 5,000 of this kind, and this kind..."
Aisan took out seven or eight kinds of Polo bottles in a row. The number of each kind would not exceed ten thousand, but when added up, the number was one hundred thousand!
"Aishan, you can't bully people like this, right? My young lady didn't ask for a different size." Lianxin couldn't bear it anymore. It was true that the young lady could make money, but these Polo bottles, except for the size the young lady wanted, the rest were either too big, too small, or as small as a finger. What could they be used for?
Isn't this pure bullying?
"That's right, what can be put in such a small bottle?" Luo Kui came in with some snacks and couldn't help but said to Aishan: "And this half-sized bottle, how many orange slices can it hold? And this one, this is too big, I don't know if it's sturdy, it won't break at once, right?"
"And this, the square Polo bottle, how can it not break?"
"And this bottle with a wooden cork, made so high, what can it hold?"
Lianxin and Luokui transformed themselves into two picky guests, and belittled Aisan's polo bottle, as if saying: You are taking advantage of the lady!
In the whole of South Vietnam, Aisan is not the only one selling Polo bottles, right?
"I, I..." Aisan's face was red as blood. He was already feeling guilty, and now he felt even more embarrassed. If he hadn't developed a thick skin, he would have banged his head against the wall out of shame!
But not Aisan!
Aishan looked at the bottles of various sizes on the table and said, "Miss Xiao, if you want all 300,000 Polo bottles, I'll give you two of these seven types for free!"
Originally, the people of Xijiang burned it with waste materials, but in the end they found that the small ones looked pretty good, so they simply didn't waste the scraps.
God knows Aisan's heart sank when he saw those polo bottles of different sizes!
Aisan, who used to sell Polo bottles everywhere, knew exactly what kind of Polo bottles people liked. This one, which was neither too big nor too small, was just right. The rest were either too small to hold anything, or looked flimsy!
"What are you going to do with the remaining bottles?" Xiao Jiuyue asked instead of answering.
"Sell it slowly." Anyway, it's made of scraps, so if I can cheat someone out of it... I'll sell it as soon as I can!
Anyway, the big money has been earned.
"Three hundred thousand Polo bottles, twenty cents each, that's six thousand taels of silver?" Xiao Jiuyue didn't even take an abacus and directly reported the number.
"Yes." Aishan nodded and took the initiative to say: "If Miss Xiao wants all of them, then the price will be reduced by three cents per piece! This is equivalent to saving Miss Xiao nine hundred taels of silver."
He counted many times, and found that if one coin was short by three cents, there would be nine hundred taels of silver missing!
Lianxin and Luokui were about to curse, but after hearing what Aishan said, they couldn't bring themselves to curse. This guy was... so generous. He only owed them nine hundred taels of silver?
This is nine hundred taels, not ninety taels of silver!
"So, you're still giving me these two bottles. Doesn't that mean you're going to lose money this time?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at him with a half-smile: "Before, you said that twenty cents each was the cost!"
Aisan's face turned red again. In fact, these polo bottles were extremely cheap in Xijiang. The cost was no more than eight cents each. In addition to the transportation cost, he could make at least five cents per bottle from this business, which was a total of 1,500 taels!
