After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure Novel - Chapter 425
425 It’s sold out?
Everyone from the county who came to join in the fun had a taste of canned mutton.
The people who worked in the workshops also tasted it.
They all felt that this canned food was too delicious.
The workers of the canned food workshop were even more excited and proud. This was something that they had made.
!!
Zhuo Zheng also tried some.
He had the same feeling as the others. He didn’t expect it to be so delicious.
At the same time, he was shocked.
So this was what the so-called canned food was like.
No wonder Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were so confident in opening a workshop like this one.
He felt a sense of excitement in his heart.
However, it was not because he was working in the workshop, but because if he could get the recipe of the canned food and send it to the Ge Kingdom, he would definitely be able to sell it at a good price and receive a lot of benefits.
Xi Rui and the others also tried the canned food.
Liang Youxiao was the most excited.
If he succeeded, it meant that he could go to the South and show off his skills.
Xi Rong had already bought a large manor on the outskirts of Heyang County and expanded it.
She was recruiting soldiers and buying horses here, specifically recruiting female soldiers and preparing to train them into an iron-blooded female army.
She was also very happy at this moment. Thinking that she could often buy some delicious canned meat from the workshop in the future to let the female soldiers nourish their bodies, even she wanted to eat it.
The first middle-aged man in line looked at Shi Qingluo and asked, “Madam, are you selling this kind of canned food?”
He was still reminiscing about the taste just now.
Not only did he want to buy some for himself, but he also wanted to let his family to try it.
The others immediately asked, “That’s right. Madam, do you sell these canned meat?”
Those who could afford it were eager to buy it, while those who couldn’t felt regret, but they also had a desire.
They hoped that one day, they could buy a can of mutton for their family to try.
Shi Qingluo smiled. “Of course, we’re going to sell them. We’ll sell the remaining canned food.
“How much does a jar of canned food cost?” This was what everyone was most concerned about.
Shi Qingluo replied, “The original price was 80 wen per can. But today is the first time we are selling. So, the workshop will give everyone the lowest price. Consider it a celebration for the opening of our workshop.
“Today, it’ll be half price, 40 wen per can.”
“For the next two months, it will be sold at a limited price of 60 wen each. Once the limited amount was sold out, it would return to 80 wen.
“After the two-month event ends, the price would recover to 80 wen each. Not a wen less.”
The people present were shocked when they first heard that it was 80 wen per can. This price was really too high.
Of course, in terms of taste, a lot of seasoning must have been added.
There seemed to be a lot of meat in the can, so the price was not outrageous.
However, everyone did not have much money on hand, so they felt that it was very expensive.
Then, hearing that Shi Qingluo say that it would only cost half today, and that starting from tomorrow, it would be a limited purchase of 60 wen.
Therefore, many people who were still hesitating no longer hesitated.
They were buying it. Today was a steal.
“I’ll get a hundred bottles,” Liang Youxiao said.
Previously, he and Shi Qingluo had already settled on a hundred cans to send back to the capital.
They would send some to the Liang family, some to his mother’s family, and some to his peers and followers.
Hence he forgot about himself.
Since the canned food could be stored for so long, why not bring some with him when he went to the South?
So, he couldn’t help but ask for another hundred bottles.
Shi Qingluo looked at him helplessly.
“After today’s tasting, there are only about 200 bottles left. You want 100? That’s too much.”
When the others heard this, they were shocked.
“That’s right. If he alone already buys a hundred cans for himself, what should we do if we want to buy them?”
“That’s right. Madam, please limit the quantities one could buy today.”
“That’s right. Each person can only buy a limited quantity. You shouldn’t sell them more.”
They all glared at Liang Youxiao, as if asking him how he could be so overboard?
Liang Youxiao remained silent.
He was just buying some canned food. Did these people have to be so agitated?
“Alright,”Shi Qingluo said with a smile. “Each person is limited to five cans. By the way, as long as you don’t open the cap of the jar by yourself, don’t break the jar, and let the mutton go bad, it can be left for at least half a year without a change in smell or odor.
“Except for the situation I just mentioned, which one caused the mutton to go bad that we don’t bother, but under normal circumstances, if the mutton goes bad after the can is opened, you can take it to the workshop to get a new one for free.
“So, everyone, you don’t have to worry about not being able to keep it.”
“Of course, the workshop would only guarantee its quality up to half a year. If you buy it and then request for an exchange half a year later, then it wouldn’t be possible.”
This was also the modern after-sales service, which did not exist in ancient times.
Therefore, it would definitely make some people who were still hesitating decide to buy it and try it.
Sure enough, when they heard that it could be kept for more than half a year, and they could even replace it with a new can of mutton if the canned food didn’t go bad because of them, everyone was even more excited.
Rich people couldn’t wait to bring five cans home, and those who could barely afford one also wanted to buy one for their family to try.
The middle-aged man who was the first to line up shouted, “I want five cans.”
“I’ll take five as well.”
“I’d like three cans,”
“I’d like a can,”
Everyone immediately rushed over while shouting, as if they were afraid that they wouldn’t be able to buy anything.
There were also spies from various parties among them.
They all shouted for five jars, ready to buy them back and give them to their Masters to taste.
There were also a few groups of merchants from the Western and Arab regions who had heard that a soap workshop had opened in Heyang County, so they had come to buy some to sell.
Who would have thought that they would taste such delicious mutton? They couldn’t help but ask for five cans each.
They also wanted to talk to the magistrate’s wife alone.
They wanted to buy a batch of canned mutton to sell in the Western and Arab regions. After all, this food could be stored for a long time.
It wouldn’t go bad if he brought it back, and the Arab nobles would definitely like it. They could sell it for several times the price.
Seeing these people swarming over like a swarm of bees, Xiao Hanzheng ordered the bailiffs to maintain order and request them to queue up.
As long as they were not tight on money, almost everyone had five cans, and soon half of the stock was gone.
The people at the back were anxious and even shouted for the people in front to buy less so that everyone could try it.
Liang Youxiao felt that five cans were definitely not enough, so he prepared to go from the back door.
However, he still asked the servant to line up and buy five cans, afraid that people would gossip.
Zhuo Zheng actually wanted to go with them to buy five cans, but he was penniless now and could only miss it.
Fortunately, the two people who were pretending to be merchants by his side queued up to buy it. When the time came, they could also send it to Northern City for his mother and the others to try.
He wanted the people around his mother to see the value of the can. This way, he would be able to steal the prescription and gain everyone’s approval.
Shopping was like this.
If no one bought it, everyone would suspect that the item was not good, so they would continue to wait and see.
However, the people present were all buying crazily, especially now that the price was half.
Many other people were also driven by the atmosphere and couldn’t help but follow suit, afraid that they would not be able to buy it if they were a step slower.
Therefore, the two hundred or so cans of mutton were all sold out in a short time.
The people who had been hesitating about the long queue didn’t manage to get a single can.
And because of that, their hearts were filled with regret.
When the people from the county government and the workshop saw this, they were all dumbfounded and shocked. It was sold out just like that?
It didn’t look there was sufficient quantity for sale.
At first, they were worried that it would be too expensive to sell, but now they realized that their previous worries were completely unnecessary.
At the same time, they also had a sense of admiration for Shi Qingluo.
Mdm Xiao was really too amazing, as expected of the old immortal’s disciple.
