In the evening, there was only a blush left in the western sky, and several people returned home happily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Third brother is happy today, you go back and call your younger brother and sister and Jing Jie to come over to my place for dinner. You and I have a drink!"
Shen Chengyao smiled and went home to pick up people. He is also happy for his third brother, it is time to celebrate.
Xiao'er took out a few contracts, and Liu looked at so many white contracts and wondered: "Why are there so many contracts?"
"We bought four shops and 100 acres of fertile land. ”
"Why do you buy so much! How much silver does it cost? Didn't you say buy a shop to open an iron shop?"
"Originally, yes, but then I bought all of them when I saw the right one. I have an idea for these three shops, and I will tell you about it when I have perfected my idea. Xiao'er was excited when she thought of the three shops in a row. The place is big enough, the land is good enough, and it is in the center of the town, so you can do whatever you want. It's even better if it's in the county.
"Which shops did you buy?" the Liu family in the town was also familiar with, and as soon as they said it, she could know.
Shen Chengyao told the location of several shops, and also the approximate location of the fields.
"These shops and fields are all good, but they only cost 1,900 taels in total, isn't it cheaper. "Originally, they expected that the old grocery store would cost five or six hundred taels anyway.
So Shen Chengyao told what happened in the old grocery store.
"Xiao'er, who is that person, what do you want to help you with?"
"That's my junior sister, she was poisoned, and she knew that I had the medicine given by the master, so she asked me to help detoxify. "I see, and then Shen Chengyao and Liu don't ask, Xiao'er's master is so mysterious, and Xiao'er doesn't say much, it is estimated that they can't say it, as long as they parents know that it is not harmful to their daughter, they can't force her to say everything clearly.
Liu Shi remembered what her eldest brother had brought and said, "By the way, in the afternoon, my eldest brother asked someone to bring a message, there is a batch of high-quality wood, so that you can take time to take a look in the county tomorrow." ”
The lumber shop was in need of good wood, and the more the better, and they couldn't miss it, so they decided to check it out tomorrow.
At dinner in the evening, Lu said that Shen Zhuang scolded in the house for a day today, it turned out that the pearl she had hidden under the tree before was stolen by someone who didn't know who stole it, causing her and Shen Yuzhu to cry and scold, and the whole day was troubled, and the old man was annoyed and scolded before stopping.
Originally, Shen Chengzu thought that his third brother would buy a shop and buy a field, so happy that he called his father and mother to come to dinner together, but he didn't dare to hear about it, in case his mother came to ask the third brother what to do with the pearls, and the good days were also confused.
"Mother, why do you want to hide the pearl under the tree outside?" "Liu doesn't understand, this is hidden outside, it was stolen, even if you know who it is, people say that they picked it up, you can't help others!"
"Didn't you go to prison before? Dad guessed that those pearls were stolen goods, and my mother was afraid that she would be implicated, so she went to the river and threw them away, and then I guess I was reluctant to hide them under the tree!" Lu Shi looked down on Shen Zhuang's approach very much.
"This is really ......," Liu Shi heard this, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"That's really what milk does. Xiao'er thinks it's normal, Shen Zhuang's typical fear of death and greed for money!
"Jie'er and her grandmother, money is as important as her life, and now that such a precious bead is gone, I think she can scold for a long time before stopping, fortunately, the bead is hidden under the tree outside!"
"No, if you hide at home, you might suspect someone!" Liu nodded in agreement.
"I smell a smell of medicine on you, haven't you finished the medicine yet?" Liu didn't want to mention these bad things, so he changed the subject.
"It's finished eating, Dr. Luo said, and it hasn't had any effect yet. Lu Shi thought that this was also lost.
"Is Aunt Fourth uncomfortable?" she also smelled the medicine.
"Your fourth aunt is conditioning her body. ”
Xiao'er immediately understood that Jing Jie was so old, the fourth aunt seemed to have lost her body when she gave birth to Jing Jie, Shen Zhuang's family was reluctant to give money to pick up medicine for her to recuperate, and now that the family is separated, she wants to have more children, and everyone at this time hopes to have more children and more blessings. If so, she could help. Give the medicine to Liu in the evening, and let Liu find an excuse to give her well.
Early the next morning, Xiao'er and Shen Chengyao arrived at the county seat.
Liu Minhong was happy to see them coming, "But I look forward to you coming, if you don't come, I'm worried that others will buy it!"
"Is the wood so good, it makes my uncle so anxious. ”
"It's not all good wood, it's shipped from overseas, I've been to see it twice, it's all good wood, but the price is high, and it won't come down at all, everyone is still waiting, and wants to wait for him to reduce the price, after all, he can't rely on us to die here and don't go home, right." And when he went back with a large amount of timber, he lost a lot, so everyone waited for him to reduce the price. Or wait for him to sell separately" He is really anxious and does not dare to For carpenters, the most exciting thing is to meet good wood.
"He's asking for a lot of money?"
"One thousand taels of silver, not a penny!"
One thousand taels, that's a lot!
"Let's go and see it first!" Xiao'er has to see the quality of the wood, if it's good, one thousand taels is one thousand taels, and you can earn it back by turning around. Also, this wood is really too expensive, she has to plant some on the grassland of the space.
When several people came to the door of a half-old courtyard in the south of the city, Liu Minhong knocked on the door, "Is Mr. Singal here?"
"Here we go!" came the voice of a middle-aged man from inside, the pronunciation was stiff, slow, and out of tune. After a while, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the door opened, and a tall, dark-skinned man with a clear outline like a knife appeared in front of him.
"Ha, Lu, you, you, yes, come, buy, wood, timber, what?" said Mr. Singer, slowly, with a pause before he could say each word, and he was not very accurate.
"Hello Mr. Singel, we would like to come and see the lumber. "Liu Minhong
"Okay, three of you, please come in. Singal led the three to the yard where the timber was kept.
"My timber is the finest wood, and it's definitely not a lie. You see, this pile is small-leaved red sandalwood, this pile is golden silk nanmu, this pile is huanghuali, these two piles are cheaper, but the wood is good enough, the year is big enough, this is teak, this is beech. I don't sell them separately, you have to buy everything you want, never two prices. ”
"Are you sure you don't have adulterated these golden silk nanmu, small leaf red sandalwood and the like?"
"Of course. These were all carefully selected and confirmed by him before they were loaded on the ship and transported all the way over, and he planned to exchange the silver and transport several ships of tea, silk, and porcelain back.
"If there is a fake, if we find a fake, can Mr. Singal give it to us cheaper?"
"None of my goods are fake, and if you find any fake, I will sell them to you at half price. Singer admits that he has been immersed in wood for decades, has suffered a lot of losses, and has long developed a pair of sharp eyes, and he is quite confident in his ability to identify wood.
"Okay, that's a deal. "Although Xiao'er can't tell at a glance whether the wood is fake or not, but Tianbai can!" )
