Ten cents per pound!
Everyone frowned slightly. The price was several times more expensive than ordinary dishes, almost the same as the price of meat.
A few people feel it is a bit expensive, but most people are tempted. They may not be able to afford it elsewhere, but in Kyoto, the general consumption is higher than in other towns, and a cucumber for ten cents is not expensive.
"Your Highness, how much does a large quantity of cucumbers cost?" someone asked.
"No, the uniform price is ten cents."
After hearing what Situ Xiu said, many people shook their heads. The price was too high and they might not make much money by buying it. People nowadays are looking for something new and they would buy other dishes after eating too much.
"Your Highness the Fourth Prince, how much cilantro do you want?" someone else asked.
"Eight cents a pound."
Another dish that costs almost as much as meat, and some people secretly withdrew.
"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, these dishes are only available here, right?"
"certainly."
Situ Xiu nodded. Scarcity makes things valuable. These people must understand this truth.
If you don't buy it, someone else will. There will always be someone who buys the forty or so people and sells it. In Kyoto, there are millions of rich people who have enough money for food, drink and entertainment.
Ten cents per pound of cucumbers.
Eight cents per pound of coriander.
Li Jiao frowned and glanced at her colleagues around her. It was not difficult to see that some people had already withdrawn. The price was indeed much higher.
There were whispers around, and Situ Xiu picked up the teacup and took a sip. He believed that someone must be buying cucumbers. Kyoto was not a small town. It was home to the largest number of wealthy officials and businessmen.
"Your Highness, I want 300,000 kilograms of cucumbers."
Li Jiao stood up and said, this is a gamble. If you win, your net worth will double and you can also become friends with the Fourth Prince. If you lose, you will lose 30,000 taels of silver.
"Talk to Eunuch Hai about buying cucumbers."
Situ Xiu looked at Li Jiao and nodded secretly in his heart. This woman was very courageous.
Next, he handed the matter over to Eunuch Hai, who took the merchants to check the fields.
It is definitely impossible to sell all of it in one day. One mu of land can produce 15,000 kilograms, and it will take at least ten days or half a month to sell all of 200 mu of land.
There is also coriander, which has a yield of 3,000 kilograms per acre. Even with 200 acres, it still takes a lot of time to harvest.
afternoon.
Eunuch Hai came back with the good news that 150 acres of cucumbers had been reserved and 50 acres of coriander had been reserved, and deposits had been paid for both.
"Your Highness, this is the deposit, fifty thousand taels of silver."
"Keep it for yourself. You need money to manage the farm."
Situ Xiu didn't care about money at all. Fifty thousand taels was nothing. If he was a little more ruthless, he could sell these 200 acres of cucumbers for 3 million taels of silver.
It will surely cause a sensation in the Great Saint Kingdom.
The fourth prince was not planting land, but gold.
"Your Highness, they have also inquired about other crops and would like to place an order, but they don't know the price."
"These are all trivial matters. Prepare some cucumbers and coriander and send them to the palace for the Empress."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
The whole of Kyoto knew about the cucumber. If he didn't present it to the empress at this time, his throne would be reduced by one.
If the empress is happy, she might reward him with some gold, silver and jewelry, and add one to his imperial throne. If she is too happy, she might pass the throne to him.
"Hey, the emperor's position!!"
Situ Xiu smiled happily.
With his current status as the group leader, he doesn't care about the emperor at all, but what he has gained through strength can be summed up in one word.
fragrant!!!
