Chapter 342: Big Brother
The eldest brother thought for a while and said: "First-class tea, there are more than a dozen quintals, second-class tea, less, only three or five quintals, and third-class ones also have more than a dozen quintals, as for this special one, there are only twelve catties left." ”
"It's not a lot." Nan Xun frowned and said, she calculated, if she received all these teas, she would transport them back to Luoyang City, if the average profit tripled, it would only be about two thousand taels, for this almost a year's travel, it was not cost-effective, and if she stayed in a word, it would be more than ten or two hundred thousand silver a year.
Although sometimes there is no business to do, but sometimes, there is a lot of business, and it is tens of thousands of taels a month.
If you can transport a few hundred quintals at once, you can earn tens of thousands of taels per trip, which can be regarded as a business that can be done, after all, Nanxun has come all the way, and it is a little slow, if it is just to transport tea, you can run three times a year, and one trip is thirty or fifty thousand, and the income of this year is also very objective.
So Nan Xun asked, "Big brother, can you give Zhang Luo a little more!?" ”
"And how much do you want!?"
Nan Kaoru thought for a while and said, "About five hundred quintals, do you see if you can do it!?" ”
"Five hundred quintals!?" The eldest brother said, "Girl, don't be kidding, at this time, where can I find you five hundred quintals of tea, the spring tea has passed, the summer tea has not yet, at this time, you can only collect some scattered, five hundred quintals are so much, now I'm afraid it is not complete, even if it is done, it is uneven, girl, you will not be satisfied." ”
Nan Xun said: "I know, I mean, let's set the goods first, won't your summer tea be picked in another month, I want summer tea, you and the other two big brothers, this tea garden should add up to more than five hundred loads." ”
"Oh," the eldest brother nodded and said, "So, I have a bottom, and it's easy to say if I want Xia Cha, but the number has to be more exact." ”
Nan Xun had already thought about it, and said without thinking: "First-class difference, three hundred quintals, two hundred quintals of second-class tea, and this special tea, thirty catties." ”
"Don't you want to be third!?"
Nan Xun shook his head and said, "No, just the special class, the first class and the second class." ”
Nan Xun also has her own plans for what kind of tea she wants, she thinks that five hundred quintals of tea should not be a big problem, after all, most of the people who come to her store to identify things are powerful and wealthy, and they will sell this rare tea in the Central Plains by themselves, even if they are curious, they should not refuse.
Besides, even if these people don't want it, Nan Xun has other plans, this plan, Nan Xun inadvertently, she will think of the special group of the Shang Alliance, and she summed it up again, with her status as an elder in the Shang League, it should not be a big problem to sell five hundred quintals of tea, after all, everyone has to give the elder some face.
When the time comes, it will be even more simple to let Yan Shao help Zhang Luo.
And Nan Xun felt that this Yunnan green tea was really good, not as bad as any tea she had drunk before, but the taste was a little different.
If it weren't for Nan Xun's caution, she would even want to get a thousand eight hundred loads back at once, but after calculating it, I'm afraid it won't work, she doesn't have enough manpower, so she has to hire someone, this person is not familiar with the place, and it is not easy to hire.
The only one who can use it is Xiao Er, but Xiao Er can't get away with these thousands of loads of tea alone.
Although the tea is light, but it occupies a lot of space, these five hundred quintals, almost two thousand catties, two thousand catties of tea, if you put a sack, you have to pack a lot of sacks, after all, the tea can not be pressed too tightly. Once pressed, the tea will spoil, and when the time comes, it will not be able to sell at a good price.
Nan Xun calculated in her heart, these five hundred quintals are just one carriage of things, if it is a thousand quintals, it will be a car, and she will not be able to spare people to drive.
Xiao Er is alone, and he can just drive a car to follow, but it's a big deal that he can drive the carriage himself.
Although Nan Xun is a woman, she can still do the job of driving, not only will, but also drive well, and even the skills of Xiao Er are taught by her personally.
Moreover, she can also ride horses, but she doesn't know martial arts, it's not that she doesn't want to learn, her father showed her when she was a child, her body is not suitable for martial arts, even if she does, she has no achievements.
Therefore, Nan Xun gave up and had no idea of practicing martial arts.
Now that she is here, since Nan Xun is going to do the tea business, she will not carry the eldest lady's shelf on this trip, she can drive her own carriage herself.
Then buy a horse-drawn cart in Yang Tho City, load the tea, let the little two drivers drive the cart, and drive the carriage himself, just right, one person back to Luoyang.
Moreover, there is not enough manpower for the time being, and a carriage is enough, and if it is windy and rainy, she can still be busy, and if she is given three or five carriages of tea, she can also pull it back, but once it encounters a stormy day, I am afraid, she will not be busy.
But at that time, the tea leaves were wet, and this trip would be considered a wasted run.
Considering various circumstances, Nan Xun felt that 500 quintals was the most reasonable amount.
The eldest brother nodded: "Okay, I'll write down the number, and in another month and a half, you can just come and get tea, girl." ”
Nan Xun said: "Thank you very much, do you want me to pay a deposit first!?" ”
"No, our brother's tea, but the most worry-free buyers, every year there are many merchants to order tea, for the sake of fairness, we are the first to order, but if the time passes, the order is not taken, we will sell it to others."
"I know that it's not good to press too many goods." Nan Xun said, "Then it's decided, I'll come over to get tea in a month and a half." ”
The eldest brother nodded and said, "Okay, when the time comes, pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”
"Hahaha......" Nan Xun smiled, thinking in his heart, this big brother was a little arrogant when he said this, it seems that when he was young, he was not a good stubble.
After all, it is a person who has walked through the south and the north, if he is not a little bandit, walking outside, he is afraid that he will be bullied, even if he does not have it, he has walked a lot on the rivers and lakes, and he will be contaminated more or less.
Then the eldest brother asked: "Girl, you are also our big merchant, if you are not in a hurry to go back, I will take you around the tea garden, how about you?" ”
"I'm not in a hurry to go back," Nan Xun turned his head to look at Ziling, Ziling also nodded, and Nan Xun continued, "Then it's troublesome big brother, anyway, it's still early, let's bother here." ”
"Hahaha, I don't mind, isn't it just a few more pairs of chopsticks and a few bowls for lunch at noon," after the eldest brother stood up, he patted the soil on his body, "We croppers, it's okay, this steamed bun is hot, make sure it's full, let's go, I'll take you to the tea garden to see, let you see, how this tea grows." ”
"It's just right, I'm also very curious, big brother lead the way." Nan Xun said, also got up, and then the group walked to the tea garden with dense tea trees under the guidance of the eldest brother.
While walking, the eldest brother also introduced some knowledge of tea.
What kind of growth, color, taste, etc., all the way down, not to mention, it really made Nan Xun grow a lot of knowledge about tea.
The tea garden was full of fragrance, which also made her feel very comfortable.
Of course, she didn't do it to enjoy the fragrance of tea here, she thought about it for a while, and felt that it would not be a bad thing to delay here for a while.
Anyway, now that the hidden needle is investigating Duan Siping's matter, they can't help when they go back, so it's better to walk around here and see more, so that people feel that they are really tea merchants in the Central Plains, so that if someone comes to investigate, these three brothers will also inadvertently help themselves, so that those who investigate believe that Nan Xun is just here to do tea trading.
After having lunch at the tea garden, Nan Xun said goodbye to the three brothers, left the tea garden, and walked back to the inn.
Back at the inn, Nan Xun leaned to the bed and said, "I'm tired, I'm tired!" ”
Xiao Er poured the tea again and again: "Take a sip of tea and extinguish the fire." ”
As he spoke, he brought a Nan Xun and Ziling sisters over, and one of them picked up a cup and drank it slowly.
Ziling said: "That's it, you don't want to leave yet." ”
"I think the tea garden is really beautiful," Nan Xun said, "I didn't feel tired when I walked in it at that time, but you said that I was only a little farther away on the way back, why did I feel so tired." ”
"That's because you didn't feel it before, and you've been focusing on enjoying the scenery of the tea plantation."
"That's right," Nan Kaoru said, "On the way back, there was no beautiful scenery, so I felt bored, so I felt extremely tired." ”
Xiao Er opened his mouth and said, "Miss, you should exercise more, if you don't exercise, I think you will have a hard time walking." ”
"What do you say?" Nan Xun glared at Xiao Er, "If you want to arrange a beautiful scenery all the way for me, I will definitely not feel tired." ”
Although the walk is short, in fact, it is almost the same as a long journey, if there is a good scenery along the way, you can't see enough, how can you feel tired.
"I didn't look at the scenery, and I didn't feel tired." Xiao Er muttered on the side.
Nan Xun turned over and stood up from the bed and said: "It's against you, dare to talk back, do you know if you have practiced martial arts, if I hadn't been able to practice martial arts since I was a child, I don't know how much more powerful than you!" ”
"Yes, yes," Xiao Er hurriedly said, "You are amazing, you are amazing." ”
Xiao Er is very helpless, Miss sometimes doesn't know when it started, she always likes to make trouble, and she will joke with them if she has nothing to do.
Xiao Er doesn't know, and I can't figure it out, this is actually a very good thing, which shows that Nan Xun is not so melancholy as before, at least much more cheerful, especially in the past year or so, Nan Xun himself doesn't know that he is slowly changing, and the cause of this change, I believe only one person will understand.
Maybe Nam Kaoru will understand later, or maybe, she will never think of it.
Anyway, the current Nan Xun is much more real than before.
Nan Xun before, she was a young lady, and she followed the processes of Yiyan every day, opening the door, appraisal, settling accounts, closing the door, sleeping, and then getting up and doing another round.
There seemed to be no purpose, nothing that she could change a little bit.
At that time, she would never have imagined that more than a year later, she would be thousands of miles away in Miao Jiang, talking about tea with Miao tea farmers.
I would never have thought that I would personally experience kidnapping, poisoning, assassination, and poisoning, which can only be seen and heard in the treasure and the storyteller on the street.
Perhaps it was through these things that Kaoru's heart was no longer as lifeless as before, and life suddenly became colorful, especially after knowing about his parents, Kaoru even felt that he had finally found something to do.
Although, my father left a message on the treasure and asked him not to track it down, but it has already reached this point, how could Nan Xun stop lightly.
Even if it was her father's instructions, Nan Xun didn't want to do it anymore, she wanted to investigate, she wanted to see her parents with her own eyes, or his bones, so that she would feel at ease.
This is the only thing she can do, it is much better than doing that endless cycle of reincarnation every day.
Zidi couldn't help but smile when she saw Nan Xun and Xiao Er's appearance, and said, "Okay, don't be embarrassed for Xiao Er, he just told the truth." ”
"Forget it, don't talk about this, you all talk about me together, how can I stand it, it's almost the same, Brother Zang doesn't know what's going on!?"
Zidi said: "It shouldn't be fine, this, it's not very late, I guess I'll be back later." ”
"Hmm." Ziling said, "I should be able to come back before dinner." ”
Sure enough, as Ziling said, Nan Xun chatted in the house for a while, and when it was time for dinner, he saw Zang Needle push open the door and walk in, saying, "I heard Xiao Er inside, so I didn't knock on the door, don't mind." ”
This is to ask Nan Xun and Ziling, as for Zidi, and Zangzhen are husband and wife, and there are not so many rules for entering the room.
Nan Kaoru said, "It's okay, we're talking about you." ”
"Oh, say me, what's wrong!?" This time, the Tibetan needle turned his head to ask Zidi.
The reason is very simple, Zidi will never lie to him.
Zidi said: "It's nothing, just say how good you are, be satisfied." ”
"Haha," Zang Needle smiled embarrassedly and said, "This, what is there to say, alas, by the way, but I saw less words today, and it seems that I have some dealings with Duan Siping." ”
"Huh!?" Nan Xun asked in confusion, "Yan Shao, is there a connection with Duan Siping?!" ”
"I can't say that, I just saw that Yan Shao seemed to come out of the Duan Mansion, and I don't know what the hell is going on?"
"Yan Shao and Duan Siping, they shouldn't know each other." Zi Di turned her head to look at Kaoru.
Nan Xun frowned tightly and said, "I haven't heard of Yan Shao, I know Duan Siping, did I just have contact!?" ”
Zangzhen said: "It's possible, Ziling told me, Yan Shao is here to deal with the business of Qianzhuang, Jiangbei Qianzhuang is so powerful and financial, it is not impossible to visit Duan Siping, after calculating, it is really possible that they only met after coming to Yangtho City!" (To be continued.) )
