Chapter 2 Western Cargo

When the sun was about to set, Li Changyue returned.

"Young master, how much do you guess the old slave sold?"

Li Changyue was very excited, and it was rare to sell Guan Zi with the young master.

Li Chuan also cooperated: "One thousand taels? ”

Li Changyue's face changed, and he immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear: "Young Master Mingjian, the old slave is loyal, and he doesn't dare to be greedy for ink." ”

Li Chuan laughed dryly and said busily: "I'm kidding, hurry up, how much did you sell?" ”

Li Changyue got up at this time and said, "A lighter was sold for twenty taels, and the old slave only sold five!" ”

As he spoke, he handed over the remaining five lighters to Li Chuan.

Li Chuan asked, "Why didn't you sell them all?" ”

Li Changyue said: "There is still some money left in the family, and the five lighters were sold for one hundred taels of silver, which is enough to pay off the arrears, and the rest is still put away by the young master, and it is not too late to sell it when the family needs money urgently in the future." ”

Li Chuan nodded with satisfaction, this housekeeper is very competent and thoughtful everywhere.

At this time, Wang Guihua came over and looked at the lighter in his hand curiously.

"Give you one, take it and light the fire."

Li Chuan threw her a lighter and gave it out casually.

"Young Master Xie!"

Wang Guihua was overjoyed, he had long been hot on this foreign thing, and a fire could come out of it by pressing it, which was much easier to use than flint, with this foreign goods, it would be much more convenient to make a fire in the future, and there would be no need to work so hard.

Li Changyue's face twitched, and he glared at Wang Guihua fiercely, eager to snatch the lighter.

Twenty taels of silver!

The young master really didn't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt, so he casually gave twenty taels of silver to Wang Guihua to light the fire, and he had to be generous, and Wang Guihua was a mother, she dared to take it.

Li Changyue pondered, and when he turned around, he went to clean up Li Man.

Sure enough, Li Man was severely reprimanded by Li Changyue that night.

Li Changyue is not good at cleaning up women, but it is not a problem to clean up Li Man.

There was no entertainment at night, so Li Chuan continued to study Taobao.

The Taobao in his mind is a little different from the Taobao he is familiar with, not only does it sell more goods, but it can only be paid with gold coins when buying things, and the purchasing power is the same as RMB, but if you want to get gold coins, you can only get it by selling things.

"Want to open a store?"

Li Chuan carefully studied the trading rules and found that in addition to opening a store, there was another channel where he could also get gold rush coins, that is, gifts, but he was resistant to the profession of begging, so he thought about it.

"What can I sell to make gold rush coins?"

Li Chuan touched his chin and pondered, and after thinking for a while, he had no clue, so he had to continue shopping Taobao.

"Can a ginseng be sold for 300,000?"

Soon, he saw someone selling ginseng on it, and his eyes lit up immediately.

In these years, ginseng production was high, and it was far less valuable than it was more than 300 years later.

Mr. Li is not short of silver, and he often buys ginseng to supplement, I remember that not long ago I bought a sixty-year-old ginseng, but I haven't had time to use it, it seems to be hidden in the secret compartment of the study, and I don't know if it was taken away.

The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sit still, so he immediately got up and went to the study outside Mr. Li.

The study outside Mr. Li is very magnificent, and when the dark compartment is opened, there is a long box inside.

Li Chuan took out the box, opened it and was excited.

The box was covered with yellow satin, and an old ginseng with a thick finger was lying quietly inside.

"Rich!"

Li Chuan endured his excitement and put the ginseng up for sale.

As soon as the product was put on the shelves, the ginseng disappeared from his hand and appeared on a virtual shelf.

At the same time, the picture in my mind changed, and there was an additional set of data about mountain ginseng.

Year: 60 years, Condition: Upper Grade......

The data is very detailed, and the mountain ginseng is introduced in great detail.

Li Chuan's price is 300,000 yuan, which is the final price he set after many references.

The price of the fifty-year-old ginseng before was 300,000, which was much worse than his one, and the price was 300,000, Li Chuan felt that it was not too high, so he didn't know if he could sell it, wait for a few days to see, and then reduce the price if no one bought it.

As a result, after shopping for a while, there was a message that the ginseng was bought.

Li Chuan hurriedly looked at the account and saw that 300,000 gold coins had arrived.

300,000!

It's going to take a while.

Li Chuan looked at the dazzling array of goods on Taobao, feeling that his eyes were not enough, in this era of shortage of materials, and there was no even pumping into buckets, those things on Taobao strongly stimulated his desire to shop.

But......

If some things appeared in this era, they would be in trouble.

Li Chuan thought about it again and again, and finally only bought some daily necessities, toothpaste, toothbrushes, firewood, rice, oil and salt.

The things are still in the virtual warehouse and haven't been taken out, so how to take them out reasonably, you have to find an excuse.

Although Li Changyue and the three of them are loyal servants, it is better not to make people suspicious of some things.

The next day was a sunny day, and there were no clouds at all.

Li Chuan got up early, got out of Zhuangzi, and started running around Zhuangzi.

The body is the capital of the revolution, and health is the most important thing at any time.

Li Changyue and Li Man also got up early, and when they saw their young master running, both of them were a little confused, and they were a little confused, their young master was a scholar, how could he get up early to run, did he change his temperament after a big change?

Lijiazhuang covers an area of not small, can have two acres.

Go around the village, to say the least, there are more than 300 nearly 400 meters.

Li Chuan ran more than a dozen laps and sweated before returning to the village for breakfast.

Breakfast is porridge and steamed buns, millet porridge is very good, there is a fresh fragrance, more authentic farmhouse flavor than hundreds of years later, the millet grown in the era of science and technology, and the steamed bread is a little difficult to swallow because of flour.

Li Chuan only took one bite, and then couldn't eat anymore, and only drank two bowls of millet porridge.

After breakfast, he called Li Changyue and went to Jiangyin County.

Lijiazhuang is not far from Jiangyin County, less than ten miles away.

Li Changyue drove the ox cart, and Li Chuan sat in the back, slowly rushing towards the rising sun.

Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and has been peaceful for a long time, compared with the north of the beacon sky, Jiangnan is still a peaceful and prosperous appearance, the literati and doctors should chant poems against the poems, and the lingering flowers of the flowers, it seems that they do not know that the north has been scorched earth, and the danger of the country and the nation is in their mouths, and it is just a conversation after tea and dinner.

Although Jiangnan is rich, along the way, Li Chuan saw that most of the people had dishes on their faces.

It is only a small number of people who are rich, and the poor are always the majority.

Li Chuan didn't feel good in his heart, compared with the people hundreds of years later, the people in ancient times were really hard.

This is still Jiangnan, and I really don't know how those people in the north live.

It's not that he has a strong sense of responsibility, but that he is purely sympathetic to the people.

After entering the city, Li Changyue drove the ox cart to the grocery store.

The grocery store is located in Xijing Hutong, which is a shop covering an area of less than 50 square meters.

When I opened the door, there was already a layer of dust on the floor, and the shelves were a mess.

Li Chuan didn't react, but Li Changyue couldn't stand it.

"Young master, find someone to open the grocery store!"

Li Changyue knows that life is not easy, the most unbearable loser, seeing the grocery store become like this, the heart hurts, although the grocery store is not his, but this year's servant and the master's family are both lost, one is prosperous, the master's life is good, he is a housekeeper, life is naturally better, so he is still very dedicated.

Li Chuan asked, "Is there a suitable shopkeeper?" ”

"This ......"

Li Changyue is embarrassed, needless to say the importance of the shopkeeper, not only to be capable, but also to reassure people, the shopkeepers of large families are loyal servants who have been cultivated since childhood, and such people are not easy to find.

Li Chuan said: "You can pay attention to the candidates, and wait until you have the right person." ”

Li Changyue sighed: "Okay then! ”

Li Chuan said: "You first count the goods here, and I'll go out." ”

Li Changyue answered, and he didn't dare to ask where the young master went.

Jiangyin is a county seat, which is not small or big.

If it is placed in later generations, it is not as big as a slightly larger township.

Li Chuan walked around casually, breathing the air of this era, looking at those commodities full of the special characteristics of the times, feeling the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people of this era, and looking at the poor people who looked numb, his mood was a little complicated.

It wasn't long before he heard a message.

Huang Taiji is the emperor!

The literati in Jiangyin City were very angry and despised him for being crowned by Mu Monkey, but the strange thing is that these literati were only a little angry, and after denouncing it, they still did what they should do, and no one abandoned their pen and joined the army in anger.

Li Chuan's mood was a little heavy, and national affairs were naturally not something he was worried about by a grassy person.

But the problem is, it's the end of the Ming Dynasty!

Huang Taiji has already been proclaimed emperor, and Emperor Chongzhen has not had a few years to live.

As soon as Chongzhen dies, Jiangnan will also fall.

When that day really comes, with Bing Ge, can I still be a young master in peace?

After turning around, Li Chuan spent five coins of silver to buy a wheelbarrow, took out the things he bought from the virtual warehouse and put them on the cart, pushed the cart to the grocery store, and asked Li Changyue to carry the things onto the ox cart.

"Young master, these are all Westerners' goods?"

Li Changyue's mouth was open, and his face was full of disbelief.

"Hmm!"

Li Chuan nodded: "Western goods are not easy to get, remember not to make a noise when you go back, these are all for your own use, you and Li Man both have them, go back and give them a share, and when I have a chance in the future, I will get more and sell them in the grocery store." ”

Li Changyue looked through the goods, and said worriedly: "Westerners' goods are expensive, these goods are so exquisitely made, they must be worth a lot of money, and the small ones think that they should not be sold in the grocery store, otherwise it will be troublesome if they are targeted." ”

This is the sin of conceiving it!

Li Chuan nodded and said, "You're right, these things really can't be sold in grocery stores before you don't have enough strength to protect yourself, but for the time being, I can't get too many goods, let's talk about it later!" ”

Li Changyue loaded the goods onto the ox cart, and the two drove the ox cart home.

The common people in Jiangnan were very interested in Westerners' things, and Wang Guihua and Li Pu were all overjoyed when they got a toothbrush, two buckets of toothpaste, and transparent glasses and mirrors.

There are also oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and so on, all moved into the kitchen.

Most of these things were not packaged, and the ones that were packaged were also torn off by him, and the ones that couldn't be torn off were changed to packaging, and the flour and rice were replaced with unprinted bags, which did not arouse suspicion.

"Young master, this flour is very expensive, right?"

After Wang Guihua finished reading the flour, she was pleasantly surprised: "The slave family saw this kind of flour sold in the city last time, and it costs a tael of silver for a catty, and there are no grains at all, the young master bought so much, it must be a lot of money, right?" ”

Li Chuan said: "I don't have much money, just eat." ”

Li Changyue sighed, the young master is so generous, such a day won't last long!

Wang Guihua took out another potato and asked curiously, "Young master, what is this?" ”

Li Chuan said: "This is a potato, cut into shreds and stir-fried, and it can also be roasted or boiled and eaten." ”

Wang Guihua wondered: "Is this also the goods of Westerners, why have the slaves never seen it?" ”

Li Chuan hummed and said, "Go cook, fry a few more dishes!" ”

Wang Guihua agreed and went diligently.
