As soon as Qiduo and his group arrived at Pier 3, someone immediately greeted them.

A middle-aged man in a cyan kudzu cloth robe approached, and his shrewd eyes looked at Qiduo and his group, and then walked towards Qiduo.

"May I ask the girl, but is it Miss Tan Qiduo?" The man asked Qiduo.

"Yes, may I ask who you are?" Qiduo asked with a smile, and he also guessed his identity in his heart, and it was very likely that he was someone from Lord Huang.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man replied, "Hello Seventh Girl, my surname is Feng, and I am here to collect 5,000 catties of lotus root on the order of Lord Huang." ”

As he spoke, he took out a neatly folded white letter from his sleeve and handed it to Qiduo, saying that this was Lord Huang's edict.

When Lord Huang was leaving, he said to Qiduo that if she came to Pier 3 today, he would first find a man surnamed Feng, who was the housekeeper of his family, and Steward Feng would be responsible for collecting lotus roots.

At the same time, he will write a handwritten edict to Steward Feng to take with him, and deliver the message.

Qiduo was afraid of recognizing the wrong person, so he specially asked Steward Feng about his appearance.

Medium build, rectangular face, fair complexion, beardless, and a nail-sized hazel tire mark on the left side of the face.

The middle-aged man in front of him looked the same as what Lord Huang said.

"Hello Mr. Feng, I've kept you waiting." Qiduo said with a smile.

And took the edict, the content of which probably means to prove the identity of Steward Feng, let Qiduo hand over the lotus root to him, and then he will pay the remaining one hundred taels of silver.

However, for the sake of prudence, she still handed the edict to Zheng Wanru to verify whether it was Huang Daren's handwriting.

Zheng Wanru bowed her head lightly and understood the meaning of Qiduo.

In the past, Lord Huang and Shen Huairen had many correspondences, and she had read them all. Therefore, he is very familiar with Uncle Huang's handwriting.

After reading it. It is confirmed that it was written by Lord Huang. Zheng Wanru nodded to Qiduo.

But in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Zheng Wanru still asked a few words about Lord Huang, and Steward Feng was able to prepare an unmistakable answer.

At the same time, he also guessed her true identity based on Zheng Wanru's questioning and her style.

In this way, Qiduo was relieved and didn't recognize the wrong person.

"Seven girls, may I ask if these seven are filled with five thousand catties of lotus roots?" Steward Feng pointed to the lotus basket on the ox cart and said.

He didn't know Qiduo originally.

I just saw a cart carrying lotus roots. I guessed that it was seven and they arrived.

At the root of Lord Huang's explanation, he asked him to find a teenage girl to talk about things, and then according to the appearance of the seven flowers described by Lord Huang, he recognized the seven flowers at a glance.

Qiduo nodded yes and asked casually, "When will Lord Huang come over?" ”

"Lord Huang will go to Yutan Town to pick up Lord Shen first, and then come over together." Steward Feng replied.

Qiduo nodded.

The next thing is to weigh the lotus root first, and then check the quality, Zheng Wanru and Xu sat in the carriage to rest, and Qiduo was talking to Steward Feng over there. I inquired about some of the customs and customs in the capital.

While he was talking, three people walked quickly with their hands behind their backs.

The leader is a little hat with a melon skin. Dressed in a brown Tuanhuahu silk robe, a man of rich stature, about forty years old, like a businessman.

The two people behind him, looking at their clothes, should be entourage.

The forty-year-old man approached, stretched out his well-maintained white fingers and tapped the lotus root, and asked Steward Feng, "May I ask sir, where did this lotus root come from?" How much does it cost? ”

Not the accent of Tonglin County.

Qiduo sounded a bit like the accent of Jiang Xi in his previous life.

Isn't it also a lotus?

I am very happy, if this is the case, maybe it can be a big business.

Steward Feng looked at Qiduo, this question was not easy for him to answer, and he didn't need to answer it.

Qiduo pretended to be calm and asked the rich man, "What are you asking for?" ”

The rich man's expression was slightly surprised.

He was surprised that he was asking Steward Feng for a question, but Steward Feng looked at Qiduo and asked Qiduo to answer.

What can this child understand at such a young age?

The rich man ignored Qiduo, looked at Steward Feng and spoke, "I am from Suzhou City, what is my surname Youfu, I came to Tonglin County to visit friends this time, I didn't expect that there would be lotus root at this time, I felt fresh, and I wanted to buy some and eat it." I don't know where this lotus root came from, where it was shipped, and can you give me some of it? ”

Qiduo kicked the small stone under her feet in a little frustration.

Really, I'm just younger, how can you look down on me like this?

Hateful!

Steward Feng glanced at Qiduo with a smile, and had to answer He Youfu, "Master He, if you want to buy lotus root, you have to find Seventh Girl, it's useless to look for me." ”

He pointed to Qiduo, and his words were very polite.

The people that Lord Huang values, where does he dare to treat them lightly.

He Youfu was really shocked now, he didn't expect a little girl to do business.

And he could see that Steward Feng was not like an ordinary person, but how polite he was to Qiduo, he had to look down on Qiduo with admiration, and he didn't despise it anymore.

"Seventh girl, there are many rudenesses, please forgive me." He Youfu turned to Qiduo to speak.

"Hello He Ye, you are too polite, I am a junior, but I dare not be." Qiduo bowed slightly with a smile and saluted.

There is a demeanor between words and deeds, and this calmness is not something that a teenager can have.

Not only is He rich, but even Steward Feng secretly bows his head, could it be that the lady admires the seventh girl, and she really has the courage, neither humble nor arrogant.

After a polite cold noise, He Youfu proposed to see the quality of the lotus root first.

Qiduo took him to see the lotus root.

Lord Huang asked for 5,000 catties, but Qiduo brought an extra 200 catties, beware of damage when the car bumps on the road, so it will be filled in at that time.

In front of He Youfu, she took a lotus root at random, cut it from the middle, and then let He Youfu see the quality.

All seven of these lotus roots were processed with their abilities, which not only tasted better, but also kept longer.

She was worried that Lord Huang would take a long time on the road, and by the time the lotus root arrived in the capital, it would not take long for it to break.

With the ability, it can be extended by about a month.

He Youfu took the lotus root and looked at it carefully and carefully. And pinch off a piece of snow-white lotus root with his fingernails. Put it in your mouth and taste it.

Look at him so meticulous and serious. Qiduo intuitively thought that he should not be eating at home, and it was very likely that he was in business, otherwise, where would he be so cautious.

After tasting the lotus root, He Youfu's eyebrows couldn't help but stretch out, and he couldn't believe it in his heart, he didn't expect that there was not only lotus root at this time, but also the quality was so high. Far superior to their top snow lotus root in Suzhou.

Get rich!

He Youfu's shrewd eyes crossed a happy smile.

Qiduo caught his smile, and she smiled too, the business was almost done, this was an unexpected gain.

"He Ye, I don't know if you are satisfied with the lotus root?" Qiduo asked with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, I don't know, what the price is, if it's expensive, I won't buy it." He Youfu pretended to be indifferent. If you want to buy it or not, you can use it to lower the price.

"Thirty-five pounds." Seven flowers. And the price has increased.

At this time, the lotus root is an out-of-season food, and the price should be high, and he used his ability to improve its quality and extend the retention period, so the price will naturally rise.

What's more, there is still room for some counteroffers.

Even if she offers 20 wen now, He Youfu will still bargain for 15 wen.

Most people will like to bargain, always think that the price offered by the other party is too high, and if they buy it at the other party's price, they will definitely suffer.

So everyone bargained tirelessly!

Even if you pay back the price and buy something at a price that you think is relatively low, you will still think more or less in your heart, ah, the boss sold it at this price, is the price still small, and I will suffer a loss.

Qiduo still misses the places where you can't bargain in your previous life, where you can buy things, everyone will pay the same price, and you don't have to worry about losing money.

Sure enough, He Youfu immediately shook his head, "It's too expensive, at most twenty wen." ”

Qiduo really wants to smack him, open his eyes and talk nonsense, even if it is the season when the lotus root is on the market, it will cost nearly thirty yuan a catty.

"He Ye, you are well-informed, what is the quality of the lotus root, I believe you know it in your heart. If you can get this quality of lotus root for 20 pounds, I want 100,000 pounds. Qiduo said very seriously.

He Youfu was silent.

Don't say that you can't buy lotus root at this time, even if you can buy it, you can't buy the slag of snowflake root for twenty yuan a pound.

He just saw that Qiduo was young and wanted to fool around.

"Huh!" He Youfu laughed twice and said, "Seventh girl, what you said is true, if I buy it elsewhere, what will I do when I come to you?" ”

"That's right, He Ye, you also know that Lu Dao can't be bought in other places, and things are expensive when they are scarce, not to mention that my price is not expensive, it is about the same as the usual price of lotus root on the market, but the quality of lotus root at that time was not as good as mine." Qiduo immediately answered.

He Youfu lowered his eyes, bit his lip and said, "I'll buy two thousand catties, give me a cheaper, I'll add five wen, twenty-five wen, if it works, our business can be closed now." ”

Two thousand pounds, well, so-so.

Qiduo muttered secretly in his heart.

"He Ye, this is the first time we are doing business, and I also want to make you a friend, so let's do it, I'll also let some, thirty-two wen a catty, I really can't sell it if it's less." Qiduo also made concessions.

But He Youfu was still not satisfied, and shook his head, "No, if you don't sell twenty-five wen, if you don't sell it, I'll leave." ”

With that, he gestured to leave.

"I'm sorry, Master He, I really can't afford your price, I'm sorry for you." Qiduo also shook his head, not being threatened by him.

Twenty-five Wen was sold to him, it is better to keep it and sell it in other places slowly, don't worry about whether you can sell it, anyway, it is only two thousand catties, it doesn't matter.

"In that case, then I'll go." He Youfu threw down his sleeves, looked at the lotus root on the car, and then stomped away.

Seeing him leave, although Qiduo was also a little sorry that the business was not done, he was not uncomfortable.

Because she found that He Youfu and others did not go far.

Qiduo pursed her lips and smiled quietly, and continued to talk to Steward Feng.

It took more than an hour, and all the lotus roots were weighed on board.

Immediately after the lotus root is put on the boat, it is placed in a deep basin with only water to preserve it.

Qiduo and Steward Feng said some precautions, they should change the water every two or three days, otherwise after a long time, the water will stink, which will affect the quality of the lotus root.

After everything was in order, Steward Feng gave the remaining one hundred taels of silver tickets to Qiduo in front of Zheng Wanru.

The deal is done.

For the remaining more than 100 catties of lotus root, seven flowers generously gave it to Steward Feng for him to taste.

Qiduo and they were about to leave the dock when Lord Huang's carriage arrived.

Steward Feng immediately stepped forward quickly, personally opened the curtain of the car, and Lord Huang and Shen Huairen got out of the carriage.

Seeing them coming, Zheng Wanru and Xu hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Qiduo and Tan Dejin also greeted them.

It's just that she hasn't taken two steps before someone tugs at her sleeve.

Looking back, it was He Youfu. (To be continued......)
