"Uncle, you're back." Shi Lei stepped forward with some excitement and hugged the dusty housekeeper uncle.

He, the hunter and the blacksmith all changed their surnames to Shi with their father's surname, and they were a real family.

"How? It's been a smooth journey, right? Everyone's back safely, right? Shi Lei asked impatiently.

Not in a hurry to check the harvest of this trip, he carefully checked the situation of everyone in the caravan. This trip has been out for a month, but Shi Lei is worried.

Uncle Butler and all the people in the caravan were very moved by Shi Lei's approach of caring for them first. A head of the family who knows how to care about everyone is always very warm.

"You're in a fight? Why are the hunters uncles gone. Shi Lei asked a little nervously. Out of trust in the hunter uncle, Shi Lei didn't think it was very likely that they would be sacrificed.

"It's okay, the journey was relatively smooth, but on the way back, I cleaned up a few small thieves who didn't open their eyes, all of them were vulnerable rabble.

The old hunter with some guards is cleaning up, mainly to prevent the remnants of thieves from coming over, and we don't even have a single injured person here.

Oh, no, except that Old Man Yan was shot in the ass, hahaha. After the housekeeper finished speaking, he laughed first.

"Hahaha, Old Man Yan, if Lao Tzu hadn't hacked that thief to death first, your ass would have blossomed, and maybe even that life would have been skewered into meat skewers.

Your family is just a single seedling, I see how you come back and toss your house. A gruff voice shouted out laughing.

"Lao Chen, you bastard, it was because I saw you slash that thief that I didn't dodge. Who let you chop him alive, so that the thief boy still has the strength to stab me.

If you are long-winded, see that I don't let the people in the house go to your house to nag. The old soldier surnamed Yan seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and yelled back at the guy who exposed the short.

"Go, go, you are not ashamed, my brother will beat you up if he saves you." The old man surnamed Chen muttered and didn't say anything more. It seems that this is a strict wife, and as soon as he moved out of his wife, he immediately became dumbfounded.

"Lao Chen, you are a coward, when you mention your wife, you don't dare to let a fart go, and you have the courage to live to a dog." Other veterans are really not afraid of big things, and they are making fun of these two guys one by one.

Shi Lei watched these veterans playing with a smile on his face, and he didn't stop them.

"Okay, you guys, go home with your own things, your wife and children are still looking forward to it, don't be verbose here."

Seeing the hunter uncle and the other guards after the break, he calmly rushed over, and after signaling that there was no problem, the housekeeper uncle interrupted everyone and directly disbanded the team.

After all, these people have eaten military meals all their lives and are used to obeying orders. If you don't receive the order to disband, you won't just run home, even if you return to your heart one by one.

And the broken team did not come back, and they were still habitually on guard. Even when they were laughing at each other, their hands were always placed in the most suitable position for taking weapons, and their respective positions were all in accordance with the defensive battle formation.

For veterans who have fought old wars, this consciousness has been integrated into their bones and has become their instinct.

After hearing the words of the housekeeper, the old soldiers dispersed with a coax, and hurried home with the harvest of this trip. What goods each family brought and what the harvest was, they must have cleared the door, and there is no need to divide it at this time.

Of course, according to the usual practice, excluding the part that was originally Shi Lei, there will be a large share of Shi Lei in the income of each family.

"Let's go, let's go home about the specific situation, the harvest of this trip is indeed not small." The housekeeper uncle was still in a hurry, and after finishing speaking, he walked towards the grass house.

Uncle Hunter still followed in silence, with a three-stone strong bow behind his back. The environment of high mountains and dense forests here is not suitable for the use of too powerful bows and crossbows.

With the shade of a tree, the distance is too far to shoot the target, so the strength is not so strong, but the three-stone strong bow that can attack more quickly has become a better choice.

"Tell me, what have you learned from this trip?" As soon as he returned to the grass house and sat down, Shi Lei asked a little impatiently.

This caravan trip is a major event related to everyone's future life prospects, and Shi Lei is also eager to know whether these ideas he came up with will work.

"Butler and old hunter, I heard that you are back, tell me how the situation is?" As soon as Shi Lei's words fell, Uncle Blacksmith's unmatched voice came ahead of his people, and soon Uncle Blacksmith also sat next to Shi Lei.

"This trip to Yizhou, the road was quite smooth, and there was no unsightly provocation when I went. When I came back, some guys really couldn't help jumping out, and now these blind people are all cold.

The main reason is that the income of our trip is really not small, which makes several thieves red-eyed. Uncle Butler made no secret of his pride.

"Not only did everything that was shipped over this trip be sold, but they were all sold at a good price. In particular, the few things that the stone said were sold at sky-high prices.

Thanks to the fact that after we arrived, we came into contact with some wealthy businessmen from Chang'an, and they were more optimistic about the prospects of the new things. One or two have wrapped up one thing, so our things can be sold at such a good price. ”

Uncle Housekeeper seems to be really excited, usually he usually calls Shi Lei "Da Lang" more solemnly. Only when you are particularly happy will you call out the nickname "stone".

"All kinds of furniture or something, everyone has a new style, and the price is slightly more expensive than the common ones in the world. On the contrary, the toys painted in stone were sold to large families, and the prices were higher.

The rattan products we make ourselves, because of the more brushing tung oil, look more quaint, and the price is naturally not bad.

Among the bamboo things, the price of common things can't go up, but those bamboo carvings are not worried about sales.

Of course, the most respected is the bamboo silk fan made by Lao Gong and a few of them. was rounded by a big merchant from Chang'an, and other merchants followed the bidding, and a bamboo silk fan was sold at a sky-high price of dozens or hundreds of yuan. The main thing is that our craftsmanship is there, and the fan surface is like made of silk, and others can't do it if they want to.

Several kinds of mountain goods are also not worried about sales, and the quality of our mountain goods is very high, and the price is not low. In particular, the objects on the rhinoceros and the tiger are the rarest things of large families, and they were bought by several powerful and powerful businessmen.

Those concocted medicinal materials are also sought-after goods, and the dendrobium officinale known as the immortal grass was also rounded by those guys from Chang'an.

However, the most expensive is still Wailang inkstone, and I didn't expect these stones to be sold so expensive after carving. Just those few pieces of fine products were sold for nearly a thousand pieces.

It is likely that it was because of the price of these stones that the eyes of those thieves were hot, and there was an attack on the return trip. Uncle Butler happily explained the situation of this trip.

"Ah, this is the bill for this time. You take a look. The housekeeper said, handing Shi Lei a detailed list of income and expenses.

Shi Lei first took a closer look at the total income this time, although there have been so many experiences of harvesting gold, and the gold that the uncle took away is worth hundreds of yuan, but this time the income still makes Shi Lei excited, and the profit is more than ten times the cost!

This trip is really worth it, and the gross profit of thousands of yuan has gone into the pockets of Shi Lei and many farmers. At this rate of making money, it won't take more than a year to earn tens of thousands of family fortunes.

Before, I really got into a dead end, holding the treasure mountain and not knowing. After sincerely thanking the father of this world for his foresight, Shi Lei carefully studied various things and what their income was.

After all, the manpower and material resources that need to be invested in such a trip are really not small, and Shi Lei wants to find a better plan from it and try to maximize the income of each caravan.

"The income this time is really good, so that Uncle Butler you are tired, it seems that we will continue to expand the scale of the caravan in the future." Shi Lei first affirmed everyone's achievements.

"In addition, I think that in the future, we will mainly seize a few of the most profitable livelihoods. For example, bamboo carving, bamboo silk fans, and inkstones and other delicate work, these are still up to our own households. It can be seen that their craftsmanship is much higher than that of ordinary craftsmen, and they have to rely on them to make a reputation.

As for furniture and other things, I think it would be good to simply open a shop in Yizhou and recruit local craftsmen to make them, and use the materials there.

In this way, the manpower and capacity saved can be invested more in these high value-added, that is, more profitable things. ”

The biggest significance of this caravan is actually here, so that everyone can see what is more promising. If you adjust the direction of development, you must have to make the decision by Shi Lei, even if the housekeeper uncle may have seen this a long time ago.

"Well, I think so too, so before I came back, I left the selected big shopkeeper and a few descendants who are suitable to be buddies in Yizhou.

Now the shop should be almost ready, and the next time the caravan passes, after bringing enough of our unique in-demand goods, the store can be opened. "Uncle Housekeeper has really been prepared for a long time, just waiting for Shi Lei's approval.

"I also left them some money on my own initiative, which is explained above. Everything else was changed to red freight and came back.

Although Yizhou is out of handover, a thin piece of paper is still not as reassuring as these red goods.

We're afraid we won't be able to save it if we get it back. Uncle Butler added.

"Uncle Butler really wants to be ahead." Shi Lei praised the uncle with a smile, which is sincere.

It's a blessing to have such a housekeeper, who is both capable and heartfelt, and a great master, so it's not too perfect.
