When I arrived in Xiangyang Town, it was already almost evening, and the day at this time was far less than Futian. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Xia Zhi and Li Xia also brought a little black fish, so naturally they would not engage in the style of eating and sleeping. So when he arrived in Xiangyang Town, Xia Zhi proposed to find an inn.

The plan of the summer solstice is to rest for one night, do a market research by the way, and then go down to the village tomorrow to buy cotton.

Li Xia said that there was no need to find an inn. Since there is the property of the Li family and the Tian family, it is naturally the most comfortable to rest on their own territory. The Li family and the Xia family did not open an inn in Xiangyang Town, but they still arranged the best house for Li Xia.

Dinner was arranged by the two shopkeepers of the Li family and the Tian family in this town. This saved them a lot of worry on the summer solstice. During dinner, Xia Zhi inquired about the local purchase of cotton, and the two shopkeepers knew everything and said everything.

With the information provided by these two shopkeepers, Xia Zhi is more confident about buying cotton tomorrow.

When it was time to stay, the two shopkeepers provided Li Xia with a suite. Originally, according to their intentions, when the Shaodong family came, they would pack up a house for Li Xia to live in. However, Li Xia was reluctant to mobilize the people, saying that he would not live for a long time, as long as there were two bedrooms, it would be enough to live.

Xia Zhi lived in the inner room, Li Xia took the little black fish to live outside, and Daqing made a bunk.

After a good night's sleep, everyone got up the next day, had breakfast, and hurriedly embarked on the trip. They went to the village to transfer the ownership and purchased the cotton, and arranged for someone to send it to Xiangyang Town.

Li Xia's family has an industry in Xiangyang Town, and Xia Zhi is not polite, so he makes use of it, and the warehouse, as well as the place to store and withdraw the silver money, are ready-made, which is very convenient.

Because of the fair price given on the summer solstice, there are many farmers who are willing to give cash and sell cotton to him.

In the past few days in Xiangyang Town, Xia Zhi, Li Xia and Xiao Heiyuer have been busy. Xia Zhi is always in charge, Li Xia is an assistant, and Xiao Heiyuer is a small account room, and the small abacus almost never leaves his hand.

The cotton they buy will stay in Xiangyang Town for a short time before being transported to Fucheng. On the Fucheng side, Tian Kuo is responsible for receiving and inspecting the goods.

When purchasing cotton, the summer solstice has already inspected the quality of cotton, and then it is sealed, and what Tian Kuo has to do in general is to check whether the seal is intact.

Li Xia and Xia Zhi both contributed money, and they were also at the forefront of their efforts, of course Tian Kuo couldn't just give money and enjoy the results.

The elders of the Tian family later knew about this matter, but they were very supportive of Tian Kuo. No matter what Tian Kuo does in the future, he will be in charge of the housework directly or indirectly, and it will be an excellent opportunity to be able to experience it like this first.

If it was arranged at home, Tian Kuo was probably not willing to do it. But the cotton harvest is different, and Tian Kuo is quite energetic. The elders of the Tian family saw it in their eyes, but they were even more happy.

After a few days of busy work in Xiangyang Town and the villages below, and buying all the cotton and cottonseeds that could be purchased, Xia Zhi and Li Xia took the little black fish and went to another famous cotton-producing floor heating pond.

After nearly half a month's work, it is estimated that the purchased cotton can be loaded into almost ten large ships, and the summer solstice will start the return journey. She chose a different route for the return trip than she had come, in order to buy as much cotton as possible.

On this day, Xia Zhi and Li Xia were walking on the country road on a little donkey.

The autumn is high and cool, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the mood of the summer solstice is very comfortable, and I don't feel any tiredness because of the busyness and rush of these days.

The two let the little donkey walk slowly.

The little black fish sat on Xiao Gray's back, and from time to time greeted Da Qing, who was following him, but he was very happy. These days, the little black fish is so happy.

Always walking on the road, seeing different scenery and meeting different people every day, staying in different places and eating different meals. If you ask the little black fish, he is willing to do this forever.

If you use Mrs. Xia's words, the little black fish is really playing wild outside.

Why not the summer solstice? She enjoys this life very much, nervous but pleasant, always challenging, but the harvest is sweet.

"Sixteen, how much silver can we make this time?" The little black fish listened to Xia Zhi and Li Xia talking for a while, and asked Xia Zhi.

"The specific number is uncertain now, and it has to be transported to the south, and it depends on whether the waterway is smooth or not, and it depends on the local market of the place, but if there is no big mistake, we can at least earn half of the capital. Xia Zhi said with a smile.

This is the answer to the little black fish, and it is also for Li Xia.

"Can you really make so much silver?" Li Xia smiled, and then he lowered his head and asked the little black fish, "Uncle, don't you handle all the money, you calculate, if it is half the capital, how much silver does it have to be?"

The little black fish has a good memory, and he also learned mental arithmetic with the summer solstice. He didn't need to take out his own little abacus, he just pinched his fingers and calculated, as far as he knew these days, the silver spent on the purchase of cotton was more than 5,000 taels.

If it were half a capital, it would be nearly three thousand taels of silver.

"Three thousand!" the little black fish reported crisply.

And that's not counting the cotton that Old Man Xia helped them harvest at home. The cotton should add up to two thousand taels.

In other words, as long as there are no major problems, they can make a net profit of almost 4,000 taels in this cotton harvest season.

Xia Zhi quickly calculated in her heart, and when the time came, in addition to the one given to Li Xia and Tian Kuo, she would also be able to have more than two thousand taels of silver to start.

Two thousand taels of silver, that's a considerable amount of wealth.

The summer solstice is happy in my heart, and I feel more pleasing to the eye when I look at the surrounding scenery. She has always loved autumn in the north, and she feels that the air is filled with the smell of happiness and harvest.

The sun sets in the west, spreading dazzling clouds over the shoulders of the mountains.

"Sixteen, it's time for us to find a place to stay. Li Xia reminded the summer solstice.

Summer Solstice nodded.

When you really go to the countryside, you can't guarantee that you will find an inn every day. On this day, on the summer solstice, they did not find an inn, so they could only rely on ordinary peasant homes.

It is a small mountain village, and there are not many families in total. Xia Zhi and Li Xia are a little greedy for scenery, so they can only spend the night here.

They chose the largest and best houses in the village. The owner of the house is considered to have a very good life in this village, but in a general sense, it is the life of an ordinary family.

But that doesn't stop them from being hospitable.

It seems that very few people from outside come here, and when they saw that the three of them were all handsome and beautiful, and they still traveled from south to north, they looked a little higher.

Xia Zhi sat on the kang in the upper room with a specially laid mattress, and heard the sound of the family's daughter-in-law catching chickens and killing chickens.

This is the highest level of hospitality for the bankers.
