Chapter 8 Giving Birth to Gold
Tang Mian knew the rules, and when he went to the silver number to exchange for gold, he had to pay a handling fee of twenty yuan to the bank.
This little brother forgot about her without mentioning it.
In the past, she was still distressed about twenty yuan, but now it is not bad.
In order not to make the Bian family Qian Zhuang suspicious, she only exchanged for a golden bean.
After settling the money for buying clothes, she immediately changed it and got into the carriage to Linxian.
An hour later, the carriage stopped near the West Street of the light source county.
Tang Mian went directly to the largest gold store in the county, "Babao Zhai".
"Shopkeeper, there is a girl outside who sells gold leaves, whether it is the color, style or hardness, it is all of the best quality!" The guy has never seen such a high quality in the store for so many years, and he can't help but be a little excited in his words.
When the shopkeeper heard him say this, he couldn't help but be interested, and hurriedly went out with him.
When he went out, he saw a female doll about the same age as his granddaughter, dressed ordinarily, combing the hair of a big family's maid, and guessed which family's maid should be ordered by the master to resell gold utensils.
Just when the shopkeeper was still thinking nonsense, Tang Mian took out a handkerchief and carefully spread out the remaining golden grass leaves.
"Boss, all the gold leaves are here, these are my lord's favorites, if it weren't for something happening at home, my lord would never be willing to sell it." Tang Mian's just right facial expressions and movements, and the tone of wanting to stop talking, were all hinting to the shopkeeper of Babaolou that she was here to resell the golden grass leaves for her master.
He walked in and picked it up, and looked at the lines on it, it was really as thin as a blade of grass, and he could see the stripes on it clearly through his eyes.
It's really a good thing, this leaf looks like it's from a famous artist, and it can definitely be sold at a good price when it comes to the Imperial City.
"The girl is priced at 30,000 taels of silver!" The shopkeeper tentatively threw out a price, which made Tang Mian startled, so many golden grass leaves are at most 20,000 taels of silver according to the market price, and the shopkeeper is now giving her an extra 10,000 taels of silver, she is a little surprised.
The shopkeeper saw her surprised expression in his eyes, thinking that she was not satisfied with the price, he quickly weighed the value of the golden grass leaves in his heart, and changed his words: "Girl, our Babaozhai really wants to buy the golden grass leaves with you, so it's okay, I'll add another five thousand taels of silver, how about thirty-five thousand taels?" ”
Hearing that she raised the price again, Tang Mian didn't nod yet.
According to her request, Babaozhai prepared a silver ticket for her, and exchanged fifty taels of it for broken silver.
After depositing the silver ticket in the county's bank, Tang Mian found that the hour was not early, and hurriedly took the car back.
"Cotton, where the hell did you go? Why did you come back so late, the county has not been peaceful recently, you have to be careful......"
Half a day later, Bai Yunniang Bala handed over five taels of silver to her. only said that she went to the county to sell firewood today, and saved a woman who was pregnant with Liujia, and their mother and son gave birth safely, so she gave her ten taels of silver as a thank you gift.
"Yes, yes, it's right to help people, you girl, why do you want to take other people's money!" Seeing the angry look on her mother's face, Tang Mian quickly explained that her wife insisted on giving it to her, and she had to accept it.
After listening to this, Bai Yunniang asked where the lady lived now, and she returned the money early in the morning.
Tang Mian saw that she didn't look like a joke, so he hurriedly grabbed her, "Mother, that lady is from another county, she came to Huaning County today to do business, and soon after she gave me the money, she was picked up by the housekeeper in the house, mother!" You see this is good, my daughter will go to the county tomorrow morning to inquire, if you really can't find anyone, we will accept the money first, and then return the money when we see her later. ”
After a long time of talking, Tang Mian finally got this matter over.
At the moment, she has a rooster bowl, and there is no shortage of silver at all, and there are still more than 30,000 taels of silver.
Enough for her to open a store.
At night, she pondered for a night, got up early in the morning and went directly to the county yamen, and after asking the master, she learned that there happened to be a store to sell on Dongbian Street, but the location was very good, and the asking price was a little high, and she had to get 6,000 taels of silver.
The master Bo mistakenly thought that she was here to do things for the master, so he took her to see the store.
The shop is located on the most prosperous East Street, facing north and south, covering a vast area, including the front and back yards, which is ten times the size of their house.
The interior of the key store is very new, and there is no need to replace the tables, chairs, benches, etc., and you can move in after a simple cleaning after getting off the horse.
"Master Bo, please help me contact the store owner, just say that I have a love for the store!" Tang Mian thought that the price of this shop was a bit expensive according to the current market price, but once the canal was repaired in five years, the land price of the entire Huaning County would also increase several times.
"Huh? Girl, you said you want to buy this store? The Lord's eyes widened in surprise.
Tang Mian nodded, "Hmm...... Yes! Over the years, I have secretly resold medicinal herbs and goods behind my mother's back, and I have earned some money, just enough to buy this shop. ”
She said it as a matter of course, and in the end it surprised the lord Bo, but when he thought that he could draw one thousandth, that is, he could get sixty taels of silver, he was extremely excited.
After completing the formalities, the master Bo personally sent her out of the yamen, Tang Mian knew the rules, gave him a reward of ten taels of silver, and asked him to help introduce a reliable tooth shop owner.
After accepting so much money from Tang Mian, the owner of the family was embarrassed to cheat her, so he took her to an old friend to buy ten girls, twenty boys, three aunts and four uncles.
In order to save time, Tang Mian took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the eldest Fu Bo, and asked him to take everyone to clean it quickly.
She herself went to the "Chen Jia Xiufang" where she bought clothes before to order ready-to-wear clothes.
It was the guy from before who greeted her, and after he recognized Tang Mian, he hurriedly greeted her.
"Little brother, I want to buy twenty sets of clothes for young girls, all of them inside and out, and I want men to wear them...... By the way, I see that your family also sells bed sheets and bedding, and I want thirty-seven sets. She reported the approximate needs in one breath, and the guy at the ready-to-wear store was completely stunned.
It's been a long time since they've had such a big deal in the store.
However, there were not enough ready-to-wear clothes in the store, so he didn't hide the truth.
"Oh...... It's not in the way, you can send half of it for the time being, there are ten girls in my store, three are so tall, four are shorter than me, and the rest are about the same size as me, and there are three aunts whose clothes are oversized and warmer......" The guy quickly wrote down what she said, and went to the backyard to ask the proprietress to come out.
Tang Mian didn't expect that the owner of this shop was actually a woman.
After listening to the guy's words, Boss Chen invited Tang Mian to the backyard, wrote the deed by himself, and said that he would personally select a few sets of suitable clothes and send them first.
Tang Mian nodded and handed over three golden beans as a deposit.
After coming out of Chenjiaxiufang, Tang Mian took a detour to another place to order pots and pans and various seasonings for opening a store.
After working for a long time, seeing that it was almost evening, she didn't stay too long, explained a few words to them, and before leaving, she took a large piece of ten-pound fat and a bucket of rice from the kitchen and went home.
"Mother, I'm back." Bai Yunniang has been waiting for Tang Mian's news all day today, and in the end, the ten taels of silver have been returned.
"Mother, don't worry, I found Mrs. Cai and them and returned the silver money, but they had to give me this piece of meat and a bucket of rice, saying that if I didn't accept it, they wouldn't take back the silver money......"
Tang Mian is only fourteen years old now, and it is the most innocent and lively time, but no one knows that there is a soul in her thirties living in her body.
Bai Yunniang has never fought with others all her life, so naturally she will not see that Tang Mian is lying at this moment.
