Mo Xiaohe only thinks about how to do business, how much is the value of dyed silk, how much does it cost, and in what price range will she not lose money, she has a booklet, which is full of complicated formulas. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

has never done business, thinking too simply, she deeply reflected, people are sophisticated, it is indeed not what she is good at, and her husband Gu Zheng has less to deal with people. On the way to come before, the two were goods in the standard sense.

Spend a sum of silver to purchase, do not need any processing, when passing by the next city, turn your hand, only earn the hard-earned errand money, the cost of a few thousand taels of silver, and finally accumulate a lot, earning about two hundred taels.

Mo Xiaohe thought that to form a caravan, as long as the money was paid, there was a chance to make money, and whoever didn't do it was a fool, but he ignored that they were foreigners, and in Luzhou, there was no credibility at all.

"Little lady, my family lives in Jiangjia Village on the outskirts of the city, and there is little land in our village, and the average family is two acres of land, and one person is enough to cultivate."

Uncle Jiang saw that Mo Xiaohe was young and a little naïve, and was afraid that she would be deceived, so he put the half-eaten mixed noodles steamed buns in his pocket and opened the chatterbox, "It is not a problem for the village men to find more than a dozen strong laborers, and promise twenty taels per person, with a good pay, and they will definitely be happy to go together." ”

Because they took this trip, it was a single trip, and on the return trip, a group of people accompanied, bought some novel gadgets, and returned to Luzhou to change hands, it was not just a matter of twenty taels of silver.

"I'm not going to hide it, uncle, I want to make this money, but you are from outside, and if you don't have acquaintances, I can't go on this trip."

If you can have one or two companions, familiar people, he is very willing to add an income to the family, such a deal is not easy to find.

Mo Xiaohe understood what Uncle Jiang meant, he didn't take the job, only half of the reason was that he was afraid that she would be unreliable, if he could have acquaintances, he would have confidence in his heart.

This trip back and forth for more than two months, and it is autumn when I come back, which is not a short time.

The noon sun was too dazzling, the sunlight was direct, the traces left by the rain on the ground had evaporated, and it was hot and hot, Mo Xiaohe stood under a leafy tree, if she basked for a while, she was likely to faint.

Gu Zheng saw that her face was not good, so he turned around and went to the carriage to get herbal tea, and gave the uncle another cup, which caused him to thank him again and again.

Inviting people to join the caravan must be based on mutual trust, and if the person you are looking for is not reliable, Gu Zheng and Mo Xiaohe will also face great risks.

"Husband, let's convince the uncle."

If the uncle is reliable, let him help find a man with good physique and willing to run long distances from the village, the key is to have a better character, don't cheat and take advantage of a small advantage.

In this way, the uncle has acquaintances on the road and a companion when he comes back, for Mo Xiaohe, knowing their situation, he is not afraid of moths on the road, a win-win situation.

"Yes."

Gu Zheng traveled south and north, although he didn't like to deal with people, but he boasted that he still had some eyesight to see people, judging from the uncle's words, he was a real person, and the uncle also said that he helped the silk village to walk through the goods, he had experience, and when it rained, he handled it properly and would not be in a hurry.

"Uncle, if not, can you take our husband and wife to your village to have a look, if you can, we need fifteen people to carry the goods, and you can help choose the hard-working ones."

Mo Xiaohe took the initiative to put it forward, she estimated that if she did a deal, she would make it bigger, in addition to silk, she wanted to transport a cart of wine, and by the way, bring some Luzhou's Duan inkstone, landscape paintings. The drunken wine in the Drunken Immortal Building, fifty taels of gold for a pot, she definitely can't afford it, so she only buys some cost-effective, and it's good to go back and give it away.

"What? Are you looking for them in our village? ”

Uncle Jiang was stunned, he originally thought that he could have one or two companions, so he considered taking a trip, after all, the twenty taels of silver given were very tempting, chatting with the husband and wife, he inquired, there were only two people in the main family, and there was no need to worry about what would happen on the road.

"Yes, we can probably stay in Luzhou for five or six days, and then go all the way south."

In the remaining days, the husband and wife plan to visit Luzhou City, check and fill in the gaps, buy a carriage for long-distance transportation of goods, and prepare to make a handover with the dyeing workshop.

Uncle Jiang thought about it, it was the first time they met, and they should let each other go to the village to have a look and understand each other better, so he nodded and agreed, he looked at the sky and invited the couple to eat at home, "My mother-in-law cooks well, and she has her own stupid chicken at home, kill one to make a braised chicken nugget." ”

"I'll catch the car, you guys get on it."

Another batch of recruits, the uncle can't take care of looking for a job, anxious to go home, if it can be successful, it is a big deal, if it can't be done, there is nothing, just invite two foreigners to have a meal, show the hospitality of Luzhou people.

Mo Xiaohe was not polite, she meant this, and pulled Gu Zheng into the carriage. When I went to eat at someone's house, I was embarrassed to be empty-handed, and there was bacon in the carriage, a few snacks, and a small box of fresh peaches and pears as a greeting gift.

The windows in the car were always open, and the mats made of bamboo were hot, Gu Zheng ripped it off, took out a new one under the car stool, and wiped Mo Xiaohe's face with a cloth towel soaked in cold water.

In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it is the hottest time of the year, and they basically don't have food in the car, and the taste changes after one night. Bacon, snacks and fresh fruit are all bought from vendors passing by while waiting to see the excitement.

"Eat a pear to quench your thirst."

Gu Zheng washed two, one was handed to Uncle Jiang who was driving the car, and the other was given to Mo Xiaohe, but he didn't eat it himself.

"Husband, take a bite, take a bite."

My husband doesn't eat snacks, including snacks, unless he is particularly hungry, he won't move a bite, and all the food in the car is prepared for Mo Xiaohe. For example, melon seeds, it is interesting to eat them together when two people chat, and she eats melon seeds by herself, and there is no taste in her mouth.

"Okay."

Gu Zheng didn't refuse, only took a small bite. I remember wandering when I was a child, picking fruits in the mountains to eat when I was hungry, maybe I ate too much in those years, and found that everything was not as hungry as steamed buns, and he now likes to eat pasta more than rice.

It was not far from the north of the city to Jiangjia Village, and the carriage traveled for about two quarters of an hour, and in the distance, I saw a little girl about ten years old, holding a huge wooden basin in her hand, standing curiously on the side of the road.

"Dad, why did you come back with the carriage, our family has made a fortune?"

The little girl's nose is a little collapsed, with a little freckles on it, round eyes, very cute, as soon as her words fell, she was rejected by Uncle Jiang, "If your father gets rich, he won't catch the car, just sit in the carriage." ”

"Oh yes."

After the little girl figured this out, she hummed a song and led the way in front.

There is a mother river in Luzhou City, Luhe, Jiangjia Village is not far from the upper reaches of the Luhe River, it is a small village with dozens of families. There is not much arable land in the village, and the men live by going out to find a job and catching fish.

Uncle Jiang's family lives in the middle of the village, and it just rained heavily yesterday, and the dirt roads in the village are muddy, so the carriage has to avoid deep pits to prevent it from falling into and unable to get out, which is a great test of the driver's skills.

"Little girl, is your father back?"

In the courtyard, Aunt Jiang was cleaning up the vegetable patch, picking eggplants and beans, and washing vegetables. There are three mud houses in the house, with a roof covered with tiles, probably old, and some of the tiles are broken.

"Well, my father came back in a carriage, as if he had brought a guest."

Xiaoya is Uncle Jiang's old daughter, Uncle Jiang has two sons, one is doing carpenter work in the town, and has not yet married, the other is separated, lives downstream, and marries an unconscious daughter-in-law, and his son is a soft-eared daughter-in-law, so he has to make trouble to split the family, and his daughter-in-law lives with his father-in-law, and Baba is half a door-to-door son-in-law.

Who's not the eldest son and his father and mother lived together, for the elderly, every time he mentioned it, Uncle Jiang sighed, and said that raising children to prevent old age, his son must not be able to point out, he worked hard, married the second son, saved some dowry for the younger daughter, and left a coffin book for himself.

"Guest?"

Aunt Jiang was puzzled, she had relatives at home, and her life was so-so, so it would be good if she didn't come to the door to fight the autumn breeze, how could anyone afford a carriage. She was not at ease, put down the food in her hand, and looked at the door.

Almost in a breath, the carriage had already arrived at the door, and was stopped by Uncle Jiang in the spacious backyard.

Mo Xiaohe and Gu Zheng got out of the carriage, she held some bacon in her hand, Gu Zheng carried the fruit and handed it to Aunt Jiang, "Aunt Jiang, we are here to eat." ”

"Come on, get something!"

Stretching out her hand not to hit the smiling person, Aunt Jiang saw Mo Xiaohe smiling, her face was pleased, her heart was happy, and she refused what she had in her hand.

"Old woman, take it, maybe the little lady is our employer."

Uncle Jiang went around, his face was full of red light, and asked Xiaoya to carry the tables, chairs and benches to the tree, and go to the mung bean soup that everyone in the village loves to drink.

"There's bacon, that's just fried beans."

It's useless Uncle Jiang to say, Aunt Jiang automatically kills chickens, that's called a Mali, and when Mo Xiaohe turned around, the chicken he just caught had already been wiped on his neck, and blood was splashed three feet.

Xiaoya is only ten years old, very sensible, serving tea and water, only when she thinks that others can't notice her, she will secretly swallow saliva at the snack, and she was caught by Mo Xiaohe, and Xiaoya rarely blushed.

It's very cute, it reminds her of herself, she just crossed over, her brother is studying in the school, and the conditions at home are not the best, so she will see delicious food, and she will drool unconsciously.

"Little girl, come, this is for you."

Mo Xiaohe untied a sachet from his body, there were more than a dozen spices in it, with a calming effect, the future sister-in-law Zhang Xianxian liked these things, and gave her several boxes, the effect was not bad, put it next to the pillow at night, and she rarely had insomnia.

"This ...... Very valuable. ”

Xiaoya saw the embroidery, there was a fat carp on it, she immediately couldn't put it down, she looked at it for a while and didn't dare to pick it up, the village chief's daughter had one, the workmanship was not good, and she wanted dozens of copper plates. She didn't take over, but she could smell the elegant aroma, this sachet was much more advanced than the village chief's daughter.

Mo Xiaohe doesn't know how much it is, she still has a lot of it, and she doesn't feel distressed at all, she stuffed it directly into Xiaoya's hand, and gave a set of silk flowers on her head, so happy that Xiaoya grabbed her thighs and didn't let go, as long as she saw that there was no tea in the bowl, it was immediately full, that was called a dog's leg.

"After dinner, I'll go to each house, don't dislike it, you can stay tonight."

Uncle Jiang warmly invited, the people in the village are simple, they are all good, only one or two families are lazy, but they are not the best, he is looking for a diligent and willing person with good character, and recommends it to Mo Xiaohe.

In fact, he doesn't have to be in Jiangjia Village, he recommends candidates, and he doesn't avoid relatives, he wants to recommend his brother-in-law.

"My brother-in-law has just reached the crown, and he is strong, and he will have a few strokes."

Uncle Jiang took a sip of tea, patted his leg, and sighed, "I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two, he has eaten in prison, so he has never been able to find a suitable job, and there is little land at home, so he often goes to the surrounding area to hunt and make a living." ”

When Aunt Jiang heard that she was her own brother, her eyes turned red. Her father and mother didn't have it early, and the two sisters and brothers have been dependent on each other, she is tight on money, and she can't make up for her mother's family, but fortunately, her brother is a powerful person, and he can have hundreds of dollars a month of hard work, and from time to time he has to supplement her sister.

"My brother-in-law is too righteous and hot-blooded, and he has suffered a big loss now."

Uncle Jiang sighed, and also because his brother-in-law was not worth it.

"My brother-in-law is not nosy, one day a group of family members in the village wanted to rob his neighbor's daughter."

The girl is only twelve, and she hasn't grown up yet, because she goes out to sell the yarn, she is favored by the lord of a big family, and the old man likes to find the untouched, and takes the family to the door to propose, in fact, it is to rob people.

"The family cried wolf, called my brother-in-law for help, and beat the family away."

Later, I don't know what happened, I heard that there was a family member who was crippled, and the person who did it was Uncle Jiang's brother-in-law, and the family next door hurriedly moved out overnight and refused to testify, so he ate in prison.

Obviously he was kind enough to help people come out, but the other party didn't appreciate it or say anything, and he didn't even say a fair word, he squatted in the yamen for two years before he came out not long ago.

Speaking of doing bad things with good intentions, I believe that no one has a deeper understanding than Mo Xiaohe, she almost got into a life lawsuit, but fortunately, she was successfully rescued in the end, thanks to the Wei Governor's Mansion.
