The merchant was stunned when he heard Shao Yi's words, and then he smiled bitterly because his business had nothing to do with tea and jade.
"Young Master, can you make an exception?”This guy still wanted to drag things out.
Shao Yi chuckled." I can't make an exception. If you really want to do this deal, you can go buy some good jade stones and then trade with me.”
High-quality jade? The merchant frowned and thought for a moment.
"Young Master only wants jade? Unprocessed?"
Shao Yi nodded." That's right. I'll get someone to process it personally."”
The merchant nodded helplessly and said that he would find a way to buy the jade now. Then, he would trade the mirror with Shao Yi and bid farewell.
The moment the merchant left, Li San arrived.
Moreover, he did not come alone. There were seven strong men pushing seven small carts. The frames on the carts were filled with crabs.
"Young Master, according to your instructions, a total of two thousand catties of river crabs, no more, no less.”Li San said respectfully.
Shao Yi took a look. They were all very big. Each of them was about four or five taels, better than the first day.
According to the calculation of ten coins per catty, these 2000 catties of crabs cost a total of 20 silver taels.
Shao Yi gave Li San 20 taels of silver. Not only Li San, but the eyes of the other men who followed him lit up.
These were Li Shan's brothers. When they heard Li Shan say that someone wanted 2000 catties of crabs at 10 copper coins per catty, they didn't believe it and weren't willing to help.
After all, crabs were not rare in this era. Not many people ate them. Who would spend so much money to buy so many? To whom? At this price, he knew that it would definitely not sell.
In the end, Li San had no choice but to agree to hire them. 200 copper coins per person per day was a very high salary. Only then did his brothers agree.
Who would have thought that it was actually true!
20 taels of silver! How much was this? Some families were not well-off, and their entire family could not take out a tael of silver.
With 20 taels of silver, he could buy a few wives!
Shao Yi threw another five taels of silver to Li San."That was the payment just now. This 5 taels of silver is for you. We'll continue tomorrow."
Money was money, and tips were tips. Shao Yi wanted Li San to understand that these were two different concepts. If he gave 25 taels directly, he might be hated if he did not give more next time.
It was clearly a tip. That would depend on whether he was in a good mood.
"Thank you, Young Master! Thank you, Young Master! I, Li San, will definitely do my best to fulfill your orders!”Li San wanted to kneel down and kowtow! He was so excited.
A casual tip of five taels of silver. Five taels of silver was definitely a huge sum in this era.
Li San left with a few brothers of the same clan. Shao Yi waved his hand and the 2000 pounds of crabs in front of him were put into his space.
There was nothing much to do in the Northern Song Dynasty for the time being, so Shao Yi returned to the modern world. The seafood restaurant was still waiting for the 2000 catties of crabs to return and open.
In the Song Dynasty, 2000 pounds was equivalent to 1200 kilograms in modern times. Shao Yi drove the Fengjun 6 pickup truck out of the city. He took out the crabs from the space in the countryside and loaded them into the pickup truck.
Shao Yi bought the pickup truck because of this consideration. He didn't have to find a way to rent a truck every time.
He drove the pickup truck to the seafood street of the farmer's market. As soon as he entered the market, he saw Boss Wang, who had bought crabs two days ago.
After all, it was just opposite Shao Yi's seafood shop.
"Young man, you're here to deliver goods again today? Haha, don't worry. As long as your crabs are as good as the previous two days, I'll still charge you 100 yuan per catty!”Boss Wang looked very generous. In fact, he knew very well that the price was not high.
Because the crabs provided by Shao Yi were not only big, but the smallest one was more than four taels. Moreover, they were all wild!
The quality was completely different from the quality of the farmed ones!
Therefore, Boss Wang looked at Shao Yi as if he was looking at a money boy. Of course, Boss Wang still had a trace of disdain in his heart." No matter how good your goods are, I still earn the most, idiot!”
Unfortunately, he was destined to disappoint Boss Wang today!
"I'm sorry, I can't sell this to you today." Shao Yi smiled faintly.”
What was that? Not selling it to me? When Boss Wang heard that, he became anxious!
"Young man, you can't do things like this! Why? Did he think that the money was too little? Ask around. The price I'm giving you is definitely a high price! You can't be too greedy!"
