Chapter 209: Bigger and Bigger Business
Tang Mo bought more than 1,000 taels of northern goods in Taibei City in the north, and then set off to return to the south, she rode a horse and left Taibei City all the way to the south.
Along the way, Tang Mo saw that the city had to pass, if it happened to be night, he would stay in the city for one night, if it was daytime, he would have a meal in a restaurant, and he had been in a hurry, Tang Mo's skin was tanned by the scorching sun.
Finally, after more than ten days, Tang Mo rode a horse to the southern city, Yunshu City, when he left Yunshu City, Tang Mo was uneasy, not knowing if he could really make money, but after a trip, he already had more than 1,400 taels of northern goods in his hands, these goods can be sold at a high price of about 3,000 taels in the south, Tang Mo was eager to sell all the goods immediately, but the matter of buying and selling was the most jealous, and he had to be patient to make a business.
Tang Mo began to sell goods from the north in Yunshu, Yunshu is the origin of tea, but there is no lack of wealthy families, Tang Mo set up a stall in the market to sell rare goods from the north, the price is on par with the market price, but in just more than ten days, the goods in his hands were sold out, and the net income was 3,500 taels of silver, deducting the initial cost of 500 taels of silver, this trip Tang Mo made a net profit of 3,000 taels of silver, which was worth the Liu family's three-year tenant income.
After a business trip, Tang Mo was exhausted, and she didn't want to continue her business, so she packed up and prepared to go home.
Tang Mo wanted to go home to rest, she carried her bag and embarked on the journey home, only an umbrella was placed in her bag, a dress to wear outside, and the rest was empty, so Tang Mo embarked on the journey home.
Tang Mo walked out of Yunshu and rode all the way to Jiang County, and a day later, she finally returned to Jiang County.
At the door of Liu's house, Tang Mo walked down from the horse and knocked on the door, and it was Tang Mo's maid who opened the door, Liu Qiaoer.
When Qiao'er saw Tang Mo, she shouted in surprise, "Young grandma is back." ”
Tang Mo smiled slightly, and then followed Qiao'er into Liu's mansion.
Liu Guang came out to greet Tang Mo, and the two met in the middle hall.
"Madame, you're back. Liu Guang said.
"Well, I'm back. Tang Mo said.
Liu Guang and Tang Mo returned to the house together, and then ordered the servants to make a meal, let Tang Mo rest first, Tang Mo ate a full meal, and felt beautiful in her heart, with such a husband who cared about her, what other pursuits could she have?
"Madam, eat more, don't go hungry. Liu Guang said.
"It's okay. Tang Mo waved her hand, although she had just come back from outside, she didn't feel hungry.
Tang Mo had already finished eating, and at this moment Tang Mo stretched his waist and said, "Husband, I made a lot of money this trip." ”
"How much money did you make?" Liu Guang asked.
Tang Mo said, "It's not much, it's only three thousand taels of silver." ”
"Three thousand taels?" Liu Guang was a little surprised, and said, "Really?"
"Naturally it's true, why am I lying to you?" Tang Mo said.
Liu Guang was a little excited and said, "Madam, can you tell me about the experience on the road?"
Tang Mo nodded and told an interesting story on his business journey.
"It's a town called Ghost King Town, and before I entered the town, I had heard that there were ghosts in that town. Tang Mo said.
"Is that really a ghost?" asked Liu Guang.
Tang Mo nodded and said, "At that time, before I entered that town, I saw an old Taoist who traveled to the old Dao, and the old Taoist Shen Dao told me that the town in front of me was not very peaceful, so let me not go." ”
"I was in a hurry, where could I take care of so much?" Tang Mo couldn't help but fall into memory.
At that time, Tang Mo was in a hurry and wanted to enter the Ghost King Town.
At that time, the wind on the road was very evil, I don't know what's going on, but there is a cold feeling.
At that time, Tang Mo didn't think so much, but walked directly towards Ghost King Town.
The main road in Ghost King Town is a wooden floor, and Tang Mo walked on the floor of Ghost King Town, with the branches rattling.
Just as he was about to enter the town, Tang Mo seemed to hear someone crying in a low voice, and the voice came from afar, as if it was far away, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
Tang Mo still stiffened his head, continued to walk towards the front, and then walked into the Ghost King Town.
As soon as he walked into Ghost King Town, Tang Mo found that there was a husband not far in front of him, and the husband shouted, "The weather is dry, be careful of the fire candle", the voice was very long, it was obviously daytime, but there was a husband to watch, it was really weird, but Tang Mo didn't think so much at that time, but continued to walk forward.
Tang Mo continued to walk, and soon came to the door of an inn in the town, the door of the inn was open, and the strange thing was that there were no guests in the inn, Tang Mo didn't think much about it at that time, but walked in directly.
Then Tang Mo rented a guest room and walked into the guest room.
At that time, Tang Mo felt groggy in his mind, and fell asleep while lying on the bed in the guest room.
After Tang Mo fell asleep, he dreamed that he was drinking with a man, and the man kept hitting Tang Mo, Tang Mo was ashamed and wanted to refuse the man, but he didn't know why, he just felt that he had no strength in his body.
Tang Mo wanted to shout, but she didn't know what was going on, no matter how hard she used, she couldn't make a sound.
Tang Mo wanted to struggle, but he couldn't move at all.
Just when Tang Mo was uncomfortable, he suddenly woke up, and then Tang Mo saw a shadow appear at the door, which disappeared in an instant.
The panicked Tang Mo chased him out, but he didn't see anything.
At this time, Tang Mo heard the voices of men and women talking from the room next to him.
Tang Mo quietly whispered over and heard the man inside say, "Madam, you wait and buy something to eat with me, I haven't eaten for several years." ”
The woman said, "Husband, it's all up to you." ”
Tang Mo listened to the cold sweat, these two people are ghosts.
Tang Mo ambushed by the door, waited for a while, and then saw a man and a woman floating out of the room, but they were floating out, and their feet were not touching the ground at all.
Tang Mo was scared at the time, returned to the room alone, and then closed the door.
She actually met a ghost.
Tang Mo was very scared in her heart, but in addition to being afraid, she was also thinking of a way to get out.
Tang Mo said very attentively, and then said, "Husband, I was frightened at the time, thinking how could I have met a ghost, am I going to die here?"
Liu Guang couldn't help but hold his breath, people in this world believe in ghosts and gods, Liu Guang did not doubt his wife, but felt fortunate, something must have happened at that time, so that his wife could successfully escape.
Tang Mo then talked about his own experience.
Tang Mo was very scared at the time, after all, she really met a ghost, and she didn't know what to do.
Tang Mo stayed in the inn for a day, and then left the inn, at this time Tang Mo only felt that the street was groggy, and the day was not like day at all.
Tang Mo felt that the pedestrians on the street were in a hurry, and he didn't know what they were doing.
Tang Mo walked onto the street, ready to buy something and then leave here as soon as possible, walked to a market, Tang Mo saw people and buildings, all buying things, Tang Mo looked at the things sold, but couldn't help but sigh in her heart, she had encountered a ghost market.
The things sold in front of me include all kinds of ghost things, dark coins, ancient stones, and some funeral items, all of which are being taken out for sale.
Tang Mo was shocked, walked through the stalls one by one, and then saw another amazing thing.
In front of a stall is a dagger with a special pattern, and under the dagger is written four words "ancient fish intestine dagger".
Tang Mo didn't expect to encounter the ancient fish intestine dagger, this is a legendary treasure, it is said that this dagger can drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, it is extremely magical.
Tang Mo asked, "Seller, how much does this ancient fish intestine dagger cost?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver," the seller said.
Tang Mo couldn't help but shake her head, although the things were good, but she didn't have that much money.
In desperation, Tang Mo could only give up.
Tang Mo continued to shop for a while, and finally bought a fish-shaped jade jade pendant of unknown age, the jade pendant was transparent and clear, with a green color inside, it looked good, and it was a good jewelry.
Tang Mo bought this jade pendant and spent no more than ten taels of silver.
Then Tang Mo left the ghost city and walked farther away, after leaving the ghost market, Tang Mo quickly went out of the ghost king town, and did not encounter any obstacles along the way, and left the ghost king town directly.
When she went out of Ghost King Town, when Tang Mo looked back, she saw that there was no town, and behind her was clearly a cemetery.
Tang Mo took out the jade pendant he bought in the ghost market, and the jade pendant was still the same jade pendant, no different from when he bought it.
Tang Mo took out the jade pendant and let Liu Guang watch it, Liu Guang looked at the jade pendant, and then said, "This jade pendant is worth at least a thousand taels, lady, you have made money again." ”
Tang Mo smiled, "It's also my luck, if someone covets that fish intestine dagger, I'm afraid they will stay in the ghost market forever and won't be able to get out." ”
Liu Guang said, "Yes. ”
Then Tang Mo and Liu Guang put aside the jade pendant and silver, and Tang Mo said, "Husband, how are the radishes selling?"
Now he made a net profit of three hundred taels of silver. Liu Guang said.
"I will continue to grow turnips, for the time being, I will grow turnips at home, as for this business from south to north, it is not too late to do it in the future. Tang Mo said.
Liu Guang said, "Isn't it a pity that you give up your business of earning thousands of taels this month, lady?"
Tang Mo said, "I'm not giving up, but taking a break for a while, and when the rest is almost over, I will continue to do this business." ”
Liu Guang showed a happy expression and said, "In this case, it is very good, if the lady can become a big businessman, then in the future, my husband and I will be admitted to the Jinshi to become an official, and I will have a lot of confidence." ”
"Everything is the intention of Yifujun. Tang Mo said.
Then Tang Mo started to grow radishes again, this radish is really excellent, there are a lot of radishes in the warehouse, so it is given priority to the Liu family's own use, and a new dish called cactus stem has been added to the kitchen, the so-called cactus stem, which is the radish grown by Tang Mo.
The radish grown by Tang Mo is big and sweet, delicious and has the effect of prolonging life, the old lady who was not in good health was not very good, after eating the radish planted by Tang Mo, he was not panting, his waist was not sore, and he was full of energy all day long, even Wang Yue, the little lady, was favored by the old lady, and she was so beautiful that she couldn't close her mouth.
The radish planted by Tang Mo became a famous local specialty in the small Jiang County, and about three months later, the county magistrate suddenly came to visit the Liu family.
The county magistrate of Jiang County is called Jiangbeihe, and Jiangbeihe came to Liu's house and asked to see Tang Mo by name.
Tang Mo saw Jiangbeihe Jiangbeihe said to Tang Mo, "Mrs. Liu, the radish you planted is big and sweet, it can be said to be a local specialty of our county, I want to buy a large number of your radishes on behalf of the county, I don't know what you think?"
If you want to sell it to the county master, of course, you can't sell it to the county master, you need to be a little cheaper, so that you can show your sincerity, Tang Mo doesn't know this truth, but Liu Guang, who is sitting next to him, is clear.
Tang Mo said, "County master, this radish is for sale, and it is the same for anyone to sell to, if you want it, there is naturally no problem, according to the market price, our radish is five cents a piece." ”
At this time, Liu Guang stood up and said, "Madam, the market price of radishes is indeed five cents a piece, since the county lord wants it, then we will give half a penny profit, all the radishes to the county lord, each one is only four and a half cents, I don't know what the adults want?"
When Jiang Beihe heard this, he said with a happy expression, "So very good, so very good, I will thank you Liu family on behalf of the elders and villagers of Jiang County, you can discuss specific things with Master Song, I will not stay longer, Master Song, you stay and discuss with Brother Liu, I will go first." ”
The county magistrate took the first step with the people, leaving behind a white-bearded Master Song.
Tang Mo didn't understand why the price was lowered, so he pulled Liu Guang aside and said, "Husband, why do you want to give half a penny?"
Liu Guang whispered, "Madam, people are sophisticated, so I have to let it." ”
Then Master Song coughed lightly at this moment, and then said, "I want half of your Liu family's radish production, I don't know if it's okay?"
Liu Guang said, "Yes, but I don't know what the use of the master wants so many radishes?"
"Your Liu family has no way, you can only sell in this county, but the county master has acquaintances in Beijing, so I want your radish to be sent to the capital for sale, and I don't hide it from you, your radish is fried in the capital to the price of ten yuan, and the county master's backhand is half of the profit, so it is a favor owed to your Liu family. After Master Song finished speaking, he smiled, and then said, "The matter is settled, I will send someone to pick up the money tomorrow." ”
"Good," Liu Guang said.
"Husband, we might as well plant something else, so as to reduce the supply of radishes to the county lord, and it will not prevent us from making a profit ourselves. ”
Hearing Tang Mo say this, Liu Guang shook his head and said, "Madam, the most important thing we pay attention to as businessmen is integrity, you can plant a radish at home in peace of mind in the future, and when the radish craze is down, it is not too late to plant others, since the county master has written down our favor, how can we calculate with him." ”
In this way, Tang Mo continued to grow radishes at home.
On this day, Tang Mo finished watering the radishes, and then came out of the space, but met a woman walking over.
This woman is the third lady of the old lady, called Sanniang.
"Sanniang, why do you have time to come to me today?" Tang Mo said.
"I'm here to ask you for something. Sanniang said.
"What's the matter?" Tang Mo asked.
"I know you can grow turnips, and the ones you grow are big and sweet, can you grow others?" said Sanniang.
"What to plant?" Tang Mo asked.
"Pear," Sanniang said.
