Just wait for the first step to start, then move in.
After entering the city, they hired two carts and went to the vegetable market to buy some seasonings, potatoes and vegetables. Xi bought half a pig at a high price and covered it with a cloth.
Jia Youcai let Lao Cai go first, and he went straight to the tavern. Sure enough, the drunkard Lao Niu was drinking there again.
Jia Youcai sat directly opposite Lao Niu and jokingly said, "Lao Niu, I hope your wife didn't hit you."
When Lao Niu saw that it was Jia Youcai, he immediately said angrily, "Don't you know whether you smoked or not?
It's all thanks to you. I've never met someone like you before. I even considered you a friend, but you stabbed me in the back like this. Isn't that shameful?"
Jia Youcai said with a smile: "I didn't expect that our Master Niu would become a beast of burden as soon as he came to the family. He couldn't even control his own wife. How dare you call yourself Master? Isn't it shameful?
If it were me, I would have slapped her hard if I dared to poke fun at her. This old woman is a piece of cake."
The old cow rolled his eyes and said: "Alright, you are the only one who can do it, tell me what you want from me?
If it weren't for you, you wouldn't come looking for me. Let's make it clear first: don't call me when you go to the brothel. I'm timid, I cherish my life, I'm afraid of death, I can't afford to play with you."
"Okay, okay, seeing how timid you look, it's nothing big. I'm just asking if you know any house repairmen who can add a floor to the house I bought and then renovate it."
Lao Niu looked at Jia Youcai sideways and said unhappily, "Why are you doing all that? Why don't you just live at the Chen family's house? It's not like the Chen family doesn't have a house."
"Hey, Lao Niu, are you looking for someone to marry into your family? Am I, Jia Youcai, the kind of man who lives off women?
Stop talking about other things. I see that you have nothing to do all day long. How about I hand this over to you?
You will definitely get some benefits, so call more people and work faster, and it would be best if the work is finished by the end of the month. I will send you money and food as soon as possible."
Lao Niu slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip before saying, "It's easy to find people. There are no jobs now. As long as you pay money and food, you can get as much as you want.
If you are really anxious to finish it, you will have to pay a lot of grain. Grain is very expensive in the market now. Aren’t you afraid of being at a big disadvantage? "
Jia Youcai said angrily: "I definitely know, I just came back from Caishikou, I have plenty of food.
This kind of work can’t make me poor, and I’ll even be rich.
Just make sure everyone works hard, and if you want to resell the surplus food, that's fine. I'll consider it as a reward for helping me find a supervisor."
Hearing that there was abundant food, the old cow became really interested and came closer and asked in a low voice: "I am not asking where you get the food, I just want to know if you really have abundant food and how much food you have?
Any less won’t do, you won’t make much money and you’ll be taking risks.”
Jia Youcai stretched out five fingers and waved them in front of the old cow.
The old cow swallowed and guessed, "Five thousand kilograms?"
Don’t think that 5,000 jin is a small amount. If the price of grain continues to rise, it will probably cost five or six yuan per jin.
I still remember that during the peak of the difficult period of the Three Kingdoms period, the price of food coupons rose to more than three yuan per pound.
Life is no better now than it was back then, and it may even be more difficult. Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. The rich still drink and eat meat.
Jia Youcai glanced at Lao Niu and said unhappily, "What can you do with 5,000 catties? Even if you sell all 50,000 catties, there might still be some left.
It's all refined rice, with no coarse grains. Given the current market conditions, poor families can't afford it.
Just focus on selling to your relatives who are bannermen. They have money. I only want cash, whether it's small or large yellow croaker.
If the deal is done, I'll give you half of the profit. If you do well, there will be another batch.
If you do this well, the money you earn will be enough for you to marry a few concubines, secretly buy a few houses, and keep them in the outer house while your wife Niu enjoys herself.
Lao Niu was speechless. He was talking seriously, why was he dragged into this again?
"Whether it will succeed or not is a matter of words. Don't dilly-dally. If it doesn't work out, I'll find someone else. This overwhelming wealth is like something I stole."
Lao Niu gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's do it this way. How and where should we deliver the goods?"
Only then was Jia Youcai satisfied. What was wrong with making the bannerman bleed? Too much money would be useless if it was buried in the soil and could not be used for food or drink. It would be better to let Jia Youcai earn it.
"Don't worry, I'll let you know when it's done, and you can just go and get it. First, go find someone to buy a house. By the way, does anyone know anyone who wants to sell a car?
I plan to buy one for transportation. I have to walk all the time, which is really embarrassing for me, Mr. Jia Liu.
After all, I've become famous in the eight alleys of Beijing, but I can't go out without a car, and I don't have a servant to accompany me. I don't have the dignity of a hero at all."
