Chapter 85
Jiang Huai's face was estimated to be a fight with the bark, so he didn't care about what Jiang Wanbai said, or her attitude, so he said to himself, "I have a batch of agate rough stones in my hand, as long as I open this batch of rough stones, I can make twice as much money." Fastest chapter update"
As he spoke, he took out an egg-sized gray stone from his sleeve, put it on the table, pointed to the cut on the side of the stone, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, you see, the quality of this agate, this color, just such a piece, is worth fifty taels of silver.
But do you know how much I paid for it? It scares you when you say it, it's only ten taels of silver. Ten taels of silver to buy, fifty taels, no, even if forty taels of silver were sold, I would make a net profit of thirty taels, a full two, two times. โ
Jiang Huai's foaming star began to fly around again.
Jiang Wan stepped back without a trace, waiting for him to talk about money.
Sure enough, Jiang Huai didn't give Jiang Wanbai a chance to interject at all, so he talked about money, "Cousin, we haven't been in touch for so many years, in fact, I have always been very concerned about you, I came this time, in addition to wanting to contact the feelings, I came to tell you about this road to wealth."
Now is the best time to start the agate business, do you know, recently my last family, that is, the person who sold me agate, something happened at home, and I urgently need to sell the things in my hand, and the price is only seventy percent of the original.
In other words, such an agate, as long as seven taels of silver, can earn thirty-seven taels when sold.
What a great opportunity, I can't wait to buy all his goods, but unfortunately, I just bought a batch a while ago, and now I don't even have a penny extra money in my hand, so I can only stare and be in a hurry.
Cousin, I won't tell you, in fact, before I came, I was still hesitating to borrow some money from you and eat this batch of goods first, but when I came here, I saw that you were so good to me, if I did that kind of thing of borrowing chickens to lay eggs, wouldn't it be a loss of conscience, and then I wouldn't be able to get over that hurdle myself, let alone God.
Everyone is a relative, I am willing to match my cousin, buy that batch of rough stones, and then help my cousin sell them, I don't want any money I earn, you see, how about it? "Jiang Huai said that the sky is crazy.
"It's not good, it's not early, I won't leave you here to eat, you can go back quickly." Jiang Wanbai said, stuffed the bag of snacks from nowhere into Jiang Huai's hand, and got up to send him out.
Jiang Huai spread his hands, "Cousin, what are you doing here, I haven't finished my words yet." โ
"You don't need to say it, I sue you, Yinfeng's dowry, I want to accompany her to the dowry, I won't use it to buy any agate."
Jiang Huai's eyes widened in disbelief, "Cousin, are you joking?" That's two thousand taels of silver. โ
"Do you think I'm joking?"
Jiang Huai glanced at Jiang Wanbai and found that she seemed to be quite normal, not crazy, nor stupid, then he was a little puzzled, why didn't she even want money.
"Okay, I know you're busy, a few dozen taels of silver per minute, I won't delay you, you go back quickly." By the way, remember to mend your clothes when you get home, and you will be exposed. Jiang Wanbai's last sentence, I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
Jiang Huai's face was rarely red, but he didn't want to give up, he said it for a long time, he couldn't say it in vain, his mind changed, he said: "My cousin just loves my cousin, but when the dowry is sent over, and then my cousin gets married, there will definitely be a period of time in between."
During this time, if you step up a little bit, it should be enough, two thousand taels are bought into agate, and then sold again, and the minimum profit is four thousand five hundred taels.
At that time, in addition to the dowry for my cousin, my cousin will have more than 2,000 taels left, how good! Jiang Huai shook his head and nodded, as if he was happy for his peerless idea.
Jiang Wanbai suddenly discovered that this Jiang Huai was a dog skin plaster, and she would not let it go when she put it on, which made her a little annoyed, "Black beans, black beans." She shouted outside.
Black Beans have recently grown up again, like a little calf, as soon as he heard Jiang Wanbai call him, he rushed in with his tail wagged, and after arriving in the house, he looked at Jiang Wanbai, and then looked at Jiang Huai, a mouth, showing a white tooth full of โกโก, so it was not scary.
"Cousin......" Jiang Huai finally couldn't sit still, holding the agate rough stone in one hand and the snack in the other, he couldn't help but retreat backwards.
"I'm going to feed the black beans, otherwise if I miss the hour, it will bite indiscriminately, and it will not be good if it hurts anyone at that time." Jiang Wanbai said, touched the head of a handful of black beans, and motioned for it to scare Jiang Huai.
The black bean opened his mouth, buzzed twice, and then stretched out his big paws, about to catch Jiang Huai.
Jiang Huai dared to let it catch it, so he ran out with his things, and said as he ran: "Cousin, think about this matter carefully, I will come again next time." โ
"Next time, just bite him, Black Bean, remember." Jiang Wanbai pointed in the direction where Jiang Huai disappeared.
Hei Dou whined twice as if he understood, and then rubbed his head against Jiang Wanbai's hand, teasing Jiang Wanbai's face with a smile.
After another two days, it was time for the Wang family to go to the city to see a doctor, and Jiang Wanbai immediately moved her mind. The last time I went to the capital, I patronized selling flowers and seeing a doctor, but I didn't have a good look at the scenery of the capital and the customs of the capital, but this time, it was an opportunity.
Moreover, in a few days, I will start preparing a dowry for Tian Yinfeng, and I need to buy a lot of things.
Jiang Wanbai told everyone about her plans, and of course the Tian family had no objections, so early the next morning, Tian Lao Er drove the car, and Jiang Wanbai took the Wang family and Tian Yinfeng straight to the capital.
Approaching evening, the four of them arrived in the capital, and Tian Lao Er asked Jiang Wanbai, did they still go to Wang Bao this time?
Jiang Wanbai said: "Wang Bao's house is not big, let's go, their children have to go out to spend the night, it's a bit too troublesome." Let's find an inn to live in, do things first, wait until we are done, and then visit them, and by the way, thank them for taking care of Tian Miao last time. โ
Jiang Wanbai said this, in fact, it was equivalent to making a decision, Tian Lao Er drove the ox cart, walked through the streets and alleys, and paid attention to the inn on the side.
I didn't dare to pick those inns that were too big and too ornately decorated, and I looked at those small doors, which looked clean, and a few people wore six or seven streets before they found a suitable one.
Fifty wen per night, they asked for two rooms, that is, one hundred wen, which made Tian Lao Er a little distressed, this money is enough to buy half a little piglet.
"Mother, otherwise, you live in one room, and I can sleep on the ox cart." Tian Lao Er is not reluctant to spend money, but he feels that the money is not worth spent, "Croppers, they don't pay so much attention."
Just like before, when we still had land at home, when we planted peanuts, when the peanuts were almost ripe, we didn't stay in the field all night, but now it's much better. โ
Tian Lao Er really feels that the current life is like soaking in honey, not to mention sleeping in an ox cart, even sleeping on the street, he is willing, and his heart is sweet.
"How can this work, it gets cooler day by day, especially at night, there is dew, you are hit by this dew, how can your body stand it. Listen to me, don't worry about this money, your body is the most important thing. Jiang Wanbai said, paid the money for the two rooms, and then led everyone into the room.
Tian Lao Er didn't dare to disobey Jiang Wanbai's intentions, so he could only live in the inn, which made him curious, in the past, even if he lived in the inn, he also lived in the kind of big kang where more than a dozen people lived together, like now, two people lived, and the room with a bed in it, he hadn't lived in it yet.
The four of them settled down, and began to eat dinner, dinner was actually nothing to eat, when I came from home, I brought a dozen pieces of bread, and now I asked for a pot of hot water from the shopkeeper, and I ate it.
After dinner, it was dark, and the Li Dynasty implemented a curfew system, and now even if there are pedestrians on the street, they are in a hurry to go home, and they naturally will not run out anymore, they can only talk in the guest room.
After talking for a while, Jiang Wanbai's eyelids began to fight, after a day of sitting in an ox cart today, her body could not hold it for a long time.
Tian Lao Er and the others saw Jiang Wanbai's fatigue, and hurriedly brought her water, washed her face and feet, and then waited for her to sleep.
Jiang Wanbai is a little used to being served now, and before she knows it, she finishes enjoying it and lies on the bed, and even, after she lies down, someone covers her with a quilt, as if she is a child, and takes care of her meticulously.
It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, this is the last sentence that Jiang Wanbai thought of before going to bed.
Early the next morning, everyone got up, and Jiang Wanbai began to arrange today's schedule.
The two screens embroidered by Zhang and Tian Liu have been embroidered, and this time, they are just used to sell, first to sell the screens, and then to see a doctor, so that the morning has almost passed.
After eating at noon, I went shopping in the afternoon to buy the things I needed for the dowry.
After the arrangement, everyone first came to the embroidery workshop where they had been last time. As soon as she entered the door of the embroidery workshop, Jiang Wanbai saw a lot of small screens of all kinds on the counter of the embroidery workshop, which was clearly the kind she taught Tian Liu'er last time.
Who said that modern imitation is the trend, and it is not the same in ancient times, fortunately, I didn't expect to make money by selling embroidery, Jiang Wanbai sighed, and asked the guy to call the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper really remembered Jiang Wanbai, because of her, he made a lot of money, so he was very polite to Jiang Wanbai and asked her if she had embroidery to sell.
Jiang Wanbai took out the screen embroidered by Zhang and Tian Liu'er.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he couldn't stop saying, "That's it, I'll take these two screens, one is three taels, and two are six taels for you." โ
Jiang Wanbai was a little disappointed, the satin used in this screen is worth two taels of silver, plus needlework or something, the two screens add up, and they earn two taels of silver, you know, this is Zhang's and Tian Liu'er's embroidery for a month.
The shopkeeper was very pleasant, "This price, I dare to say that you can control the entire capital, and there is no higher than this."
The price of the small screen you sold last time was high, because the style was relatively novel and chic, this time these two screens, many embroiderers will embroider, and it is guaranteed to be on par with these two embroideries, and the price is naturally not high.
If you feel that the price is low, you may wish to think of some different embroidery next time, I promise, will definitely give you a high price. โ
Jiang Wanbai didn't know that he was telling the truth, but she felt a little sorry for the fruits of Zhang's and Tian Liu'er's labor, but when it came to this, she couldn't continue to be hypocritical, so she quickly agreed to the shopkeeper, and she got six taels of silver.
Tian Lao Er and the others didn't realize that this silver was less at all, it was two taels of silver, in the past, they could have so much silver in a year, thanks to the blessing of God.
Happily, or Tian Lao Er, they were happy, Jiang Wanbai came out of the embroidery workshop with a depressed face, and several people went to the last medical hall again.
