Chapter 316: No Extravagant Hopes
In the evening, Li made a good meal, and the most important thing for the Orion family is wild things, especially in the autumn harvest season, when the wild things are the fattest season of the year, Li bought two rabbits and came back and made a big pot of rabbit meat.
Zhulan asked the Li family to send a bowl to the Liu family.
Zhang Sanni was very nervous, she didn't want to expose her lies, but fortunately, Li saw her as if she didn't know her, Zhang Sanni's heart relaxed, and after careful thinking, she understood that it must have been told by Zhou Yang.
She had already discovered that the Zhou family didn't like trouble, and they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke things, so Zhang Sanni was completely relieved.
After Zhulan waited for the Liu family to have dinner, she went to the main room of the Liu family with an umbrella and Zhou Shuren.
Liu Laohan was smoking a dry cigarette, and Liu Zhang's was collecting the soles of his shoes.
Liu Zhangshi greeted Zhulan and said, "Is there something wrong with Mrs. Juren coming here at this hour?" ”
Zhulan said with a smile: "I told the master that our village is a famous Orion village, this is not the beginning of winter, I want to find some high-quality skins, so I specially came to ask if your family has high-quality fur." ”
Liu Zhang's can't be the master, look at the master.
Liu Laohan put down the dry tobacco in his hand, "Does Mrs. Juren want fox skin or mink skin?" ”
As soon as Zhulan heard it, she knew that the Liu family had good skins, "Fox skins and mink skins are fine." ”
Liu Laohan said to his wife: "Take it out." ”
Liu Zhangshi put down the soles of his shoes, "Hey! ”
Liu Laohan explained: "Last year's market was good, the squeezed fur was sold last winter, and it was rare to hit the fox skin in a year. ”
Liu Laohan hopes to sell it, they also look at luck when they get good skins, and they expect to make more money with good skins a year, but the shops in the city that specialize in collecting furs are bullying them, even if the market is good, the price will not be too high, they also want to sell it alone, but the stall is either robbed away, or the price is suppressed by some housekeepers, it is better to sell it directly to the shop!
The village likes to pass by the convoy, but unfortunately there are few stops, but every time there is a stop, some furs will be sold, but unfortunately there are too few to buy, but the price is still good.
Liu Zhangshi took the fur out, two fox skins, Zhulan liked it at a glance, both were red fox skins, and two high-quality mink skins, Zhulan asked the price, "How do you sell these ones?" ”
Liu Laohan knocked on it with a dry cigarette, "I don't want to be too expensive, it's cheaper than in the shop, twenty taels a fox skin, and twelve taels a mink skin." ”
Zhulan recalled the price of a fur shop in Pingzhou, where the finest fox skins cost 30 taels and the mink skins cost 10 taels of silver.
Zhulan's calculation in her heart sounded, this is much cheaper than the shop, and then think about the furrier's purchase price is cheaper, this line is really profitable, no wonder it is monopolized, "I want these four, do you think there is anyone else who has the best fox skin?" I'd like to buy a few more. ”
Liu Laohan smoked dry tobacco again, "No, there are a lot of rabbit skins in the village, and foxes are difficult to beat. ”
Zhulan's desire to save a few more is shattered, but it's already good to be able to buy four, and it's good to keep them as a dowry or a gift for the girls at home.
Zhou Shuren kept talking, staring at the old man, hooking the corners of his mouth and saying, "There should be better fur at home." ”
Liu Laohan has a lot of dealings with businessmen, and rarely deals with readers, although there will be readers every year, but the scholars have always been high, and their family has also borrowed the old man, and he has the impression that the old man is carrying his head.
This is the first time he has talked to the old man, he was stunned for a moment, digested the words of the old man, Liu Laohan squinted his eyes and thought to himself, how did the old man see it?
Zhou Shuren said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we bought it sincerely, and if we have good skins, we will definitely give a fair price." ”
Liu Laohan gave the old woman a look, "The old man is a scholar, I can trust it." ”
Liu Zhang's heart was happy, the price of the four skins this time was twenty taels more than the merchant who sold it to the purchaser!
Zhulan waited for a while before seeing the skin that Liu Zhang's took out, two white fox skins, Zhulan blinked, it was really a white fox skin, eighty-two in the Pingzhou fur shop, sometimes you want to buy it and there is no stock!
Liu Laohan was depressed in his heart, how could the old man and the wife of the lifting man be expressionless, he couldn't see his mind at all, which made him not very good at asking for a price, and pondered for a while, "The white fox skin is hard to see, I still played it three years ago, and I haven't seen it since, and the price is seventy taels a piece." ”
He didn't dare to let people know that the merchant who bought it for the acquisition must lower the price, and it would be good to be able to sell it for forty taels, and he would have been hiding it if others knew about it, and it would be good if he could get rid of it today.
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren nodded invisibly, these two rare white fox skins are good gifts when used well.
Zhulan spent two hundred and forty taels to buy six furs, and deliberately vacated a box of furs.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the next day we were able to continue the journey, and after breakfast, Li took the apricot blossom to pack his luggage.
The Liu family made a lot of money on Zhou Jia last night, and Liu Zhang's wrapped buns in the morning and specially gave them to Zhulan Road to eat, and the stuffing of the buns was wild boar and cabbage.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren got into the carriage at the end, Zhulan opened the curtain of the car and looked back at the Liu family, just in time to see Zhang Sanni saluting her, she understood Zhang Sanni's salute to her.
Zhulan smiled, this girl is a rare person who can see the reality clearly, and she is also a person who understands how to seize the opportunity, Zhulan put down the curtain, and the few girls she met through the time, Zhang Sanni and Wang Rong, the two girls, never look forward to the ethereal future, but grasp the reality of the people, so they can fight their own happiness step by step in a difficult environment.
This time when she returned to Zhoujia Village, she also met Wang Rong, Wang Rong was calm and peaceful, the smile on his face never stopped, and even Zhou Wang's praised it.
This morning, she is also observing the Liu family, the Liu family is rare to be kind-hearted, although Zhang Sanni's husband is not outstanding, he will help Zhang Sanni carry water.
In ancient times, if you can find a husband who loves you, a woman's future will not be bad.
Zhulan leaned her head on Zhou Shuren's shoulder, raised Zhou Shuren's hand, put her hand on, held the small hand with her big hand, and Zhulan hooked the corners of her mouth, "It's good to have you." ”
Zhou Shuren shook it back, "I should be right to say this." ”
He wondered more than once what would have happened to Zhulan if he hadn't saved him? He's dead? Or is it crossing?
Zhulan smiled and didn't speak again, and Zhou Shuren also smiled and clenched Zhulan's hand.
Because it rained and it was a mountain road, the carriage was not fast, and it was barely out of the mountains at night, and there was still some distance from the post station, but fortunately it was out of the mountains, even if it rained again, there would be no danger.
The rest of the journey was not smooth, and the autumn harvest led to more rain, and after a few heavy rains, the carriage struggled.
When Zhulan is fine, she will lie on the window of the car and watch, all the way to watch the farmers harvest crops in the muddy fields.
She should be thankful that it wasn't a disaster year, at least it was another good harvest year, even though the autumn harvest was a bit heavier.
Zhulan was worried about her hometown, "I don't know if it's raining in my hometown?" There are still days, and Xuemei should also be out of confinement. ”
