Chapter 149: Disposition of the Prefect

As soon as she heard that Gu Muzhi was going to the city to find business cooperation by herself, the maid showed a worried expression: "You are a little girl's family, how can I rest assured, what if I am coaxed by those old oilmen who do business." ”

The maid looked at her slim daughter, her eyebrows wrinkled deeply into a Sichuan character, she felt that talking about business was a man's business, and Gu Muzhi's daughter's family was really not at ease.

Listening to the maid's words, Gu Muzhi also had her own thoughts, after all, she was a young woman, and she was worried that she would not be able to control the scene when discussing business, so she needed to find someone to help at this time.

Li Yan is now busy with the land leasing business, she has no time to separate, and she is busy on all fours, Gu Muzhi decided not to look for him, she turned her eyes to Qin Boyong.

It happened that there were new melons in the vegetable field, Gu Muzhi picked a few of the largest, washed them with water, and poured them in the well water, and when the sun was not so strong, he took a small bamboo basket with melons and went to Qin Boyong's house.

Qin Boyong is processing the fur of wild animals, and the fur of hunting wild animals must be specially treated, otherwise it will rot and stink.

Seeing that Gu Muzhi was about to come in, Qin Boyong hurriedly moved the wild thing he was handling aside, washed his hands, and asked Gu Muzhi what he meant.

Gu Muzhi looked at Qin Boyong's movements and smiled: "Fourth uncle, you don't have to do this, I will go up the mountain to hunt myself, these bloody wild things are never afraid." ”

Qin Boyong laughed.

Gu Muzhi put forward: "I want to go to the city to find shops and sell grain, I don't know if the fourth uncle has time, you can accompany me to have a look." ”

Qin Boyong readily agreed.

After returning home, Gu Muzhi and the maid said, "I'll ask Qin Boyong to accompany me, so that my safety can be guaranteed." ”

Qin Boyong had time and decided to accompany Gu Muzhi, and the maid's face turned from worry to joy. I can't wait to make a thankful face.

Early in the morning, Gu Muzhi and Qin Boyong got on the ox cart into the city, the price of the car was two copper plates, Qin Boyong found a more stable position for Gu Muzhi to sit down, and then sat beside her.

The coachman whipped up, and the ox cart staggered along.

There are many people who enter the city, most of them carry baskets or baskets on their backs, and some young daughters-in-law will take advantage of the slack time or at night to embroider some handkerchiefs under kerosene lamps and give them to the men of the family to sell in the city.

Some people can't afford to light kerosene lamps at home, so they will do some embroidery work in the moonlight.

When they are not busy, the peasants will go to the city to sell fresh fruits and vegetables in baskets, no matter how much they sell, or if they are in the income, they will supplement their families.

The ox cart was swaying and very bumpy, but fortunately it was not far from the city, and it was not long before it arrived.

After sitting in the ox cart for a long time, Gu Muzhi's first feeling was that his legs were almost numb, and compared to it, there was nothing Qin Boyong at all.

Gu Muzhi glanced at Qin Boyong, his arms, legs and feet were very flexible.

Qin Boyong read what Gu Muzhi was thinking, felt quite funny, and replied: "I have traveled a lot from south to north, and men are just rougher. ”

Gu Muzhi looked at Qin Boyong's physique enviously, and then went to Nanshi to check the situation of the store.

In the city, the Xu family, the Huo family, the Shen family, and the Li family are the most grain shops, and the four shopkeepers are also very shrewd, and they don't seem to be very easy to deal with.

Although the business is very large, it is not easy to cooperate with it.

After walking for a long time, their legs and feet were a little numb, Gu Muzhi and Qin Boyong found a teahouse to sit and ordered a pot of tea.

The tea was quickly served, Gu Muzhi grabbed the teacup and quickly took a sip, only to feel that his thirsty throat was a lot easier, and his mood calmed down a little.

Gu Muzhi thought about the conversation with the shopkeeper and said, "If you want to cooperate with these four grain shops, the principal is a lot of expenses." ”

Although she also has a lot of money in her hand, the tofu restaurant and land leasing business all require silver turnover, and if she uses all the surplus money on it, the risk is still too great.

Qin Boyong, who was on the side, suggested: "It's better to cooperate with the grain shop to supply food." ”

Qin Boyong's suggestion really fits Gu Muzhi's heart, but the current situation is that he is not well-informed, and he doesn't know which grain shop has the best reputation.

Gu Muzhi thought for a while, and greeted a little second question; "Tell us what's new lately."

Xiao Er looked young, spoke and acted very old-fashioned, and talked to Gu Muzhi with a smile about interesting things in the city.

Gu Muzhi listened very carefully, and within a few breaths, he turned to the grain and asked which store was the best.

Xiao Er is doing the business that is ushered in, and naturally he doesn't want to offend anyone, so he said with a smile: "Several bosses are all generous and good." ”

Xiao Er is shrewd and oily, just a slippery loach.

Gu Muzhi thought about it, and stuffed two coins of silver into his hand, Xiao Er touched the silver, and the smile on his face was a little sincere: "If you want to cooperate, you still have to find a grain and rice shop, the young owner is a scholar, and he is very kind to do business." ”

After Gu Muzhi learned the news, he did not go directly to Liang's rice shop, but went to many places to inquire.

Even Qin Boyong admired Gu Muzhi's caution very much.

Gu Muzhi said: "No matter how careful you are in business, you can't be too careful. ”

After getting the Liang's rice shop is indeed very conscientious, Gu Muzhi and Qin Boyong went straight to the Liang's rice shop, the Liang's rice shop does not look as grand as the four rice shops, and the vermilion signboard is very conspicuous.

The young owner of Liang's rice shop is a young man wearing a robe with his hair standing up, and he looks very elegant, which makes people feel good at first sight.

Liang Cheng was planning to plate in the store, his fingers were flying, Gu Muzhi had just arrived, and Liang Cheng knew that a guest was coming without raising his head.

Liang Cheng smiled warmly, with the politeness of a businessman: "What kind of food does the girl want to buy when she comes to our store?" Now the rice in the north has just arrived, and it is round and full. Pearl rice is also available, and it is running out. ”

Gu Muzhi said generously: "Boss, we are not here to buy rice, but to sell rice." ”

Liang Cheng was stunned for a second, and then laughed again, like ice and snow melting.

Liang Cheng said with a smile: "I don't know what rice the girl wants to sell, how much is the price, and how much is the quantity?" ”

Gu Muzhi answered Liang Cheng's question in an orderly manner, slowly and logically, and said that he wanted to cooperate with Liang's rice shop.

After learning of Gu Muzhi's intentions, Liang Cheng did not see it clearly because Gu Muzhi was a woman, but was impressed by Gu Muzhi.

Gu Muzhi was neither humble nor arrogant and said: "I don't know about this grain deal, do you want to do it?" ”

Liang Cheng knew about the grain in Gu Muzhi's hands, but he didn't immediately decide to cooperate with Gu Muzhi, after all, he was essentially a businessman and couldn't let himself suffer.
