Chapter Ninety-Eight: Harmony Makes Money

Early in the morning, Zheng Bang and Zhou Dayong each borrowed an ox cart, took Xiao Qiongzhi and Liu Wuxiu respectively, pulled the wolf, and rushed to the county seat.

On Zheng Bang's ox cart, there were forty wolves shot and killed by Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi, as well as five wolves that were shot and wounded in rattan baskets.

Zhou Dayong's ox cart contained the remaining eight wolves that were shot and killed by Zheng Bang and Xiao Qiongzhi.

Along the way, Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang were very quiet.

Liu Wuxiu was very excited.

She has been talking loudly to Zhou Dayong with great interest, and even spoke to Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang in front of her from time to time.

Xiao Qiongzhi was a little helpless, but she could only smile bitterly in her heart.

Originally, she didn't plan to take Liu Wuxiu and Zhou Dayong to the county seat to sell wolves together.

Last night, when Liu Wuxiu was having dinner, he asked her about her and Zheng Bang's experience of selling tigers and wild boars, and buying a house.

She didn't want others to know the truth that she used the jade plate she gave to Zheng Bang in her dream to sell tigers and wild boars and buy a house.

I don't want anyone else to know how much money she made selling tigers and wild boars.

Therefore, when it comes to buying a house, she just omitted a few details about taking advantage of the dream to return it, and basically answered truthfully.

As for the sale of tigers and wild boars, she replied vaguely, only saying that she sold them directly at a direct valuation, and sold them for a total of 1,550 taels of silver.

Liu Wuxiu knows what price the pork in the township sells.

Therefore, she believes that Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang may have been exploited by the people who bought tigers and wild boars.

She reminded them that good things cannot be sold cheaply, and this time the wolf meat must be sold more expensive than pork, at least not less than one or two or five dollars a pound of silver.

At the same time, she also volunteered to come to the county seat with Zhou Dayong today to sell wolf meat.

Xiao Qiongzhi considered that there were more wolves shot this time, so she and Zheng Bang sold them, and they might not be sold out in one day, so she agreed to her with the mood of trying it out.

However, out of prudence, Xiao Qiongzhi only divided eight wolves and sold them to her and Zhou Dayong.

Xiao Qiongzhi also told her last night that she had inquired the day before yesterday and that selling things in the county was no better than in the township.

When you go to the meat market to set up a stall to sell, you have to pay taxes according to the tax, drive an ox cart, and sell it through the streets and alleys, so as to save tax money.

At the same time, he also reminded that it is best to go to the streets and alleys near the county yamen to sell it, where the rich people are relatively concentrated and can basically afford to buy wolf meat.

If you are lucky and come across a wealthy family and want to buy one or more of them, but the price is required to be cheaper, then you can consider selling them at a price higher than one tael of silver per catty.

She nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Qiongzhi was relieved.

After entering the county seat, the four soldiers moved in two ways.

Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang still use the old routine of the day before yesterday, and plan to still find famous restaurants and big families to sell wolf meat.

Soon, Zheng Bang took Xiao Qiongzhi and arrived at the door of the "rich family".

The guy guarding the door of the "rich family" is quite discerning, but when he met Xiao Qiongzhi the day before yesterday, he actually recognized Xiao Qiongzhi, and without waiting for Xiao Qiongzhi to get off the ox cart, he preemptively pulled her over with a cart of wolves and reported it to the shopkeeper in the store.

The shopkeeper was pleasantly surprised and immediately strode out.

The tiger meat he bought the day before yesterday was sold out after it was made into a dish, and it was all sold out by noon yesterday.

All the familiar guests who have eaten tiger meat told him that when they have this rare game next time, they must remember to ask them to come and taste it.

Later, when they heard about this, they came to order tiger meat to eat, and some familiar guests who didn't light it even threatened that when there was this rare game next time, they could directly ask someone to make a double portion and send it to the house, and they would definitely buy it all.

"So many wolves! Little girl, big hero, you have shot the wolves in several places, right? As soon as he saw the car full of wolves, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he asked Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang with a smile.

Xiao Qiongzhi replied with a smile: "That's pretty much it." Uncle shopkeeper, look, do you want to buy a few? ”

"Yes, I want to buy ten dead wolves, and I want to buy all five live wolves in your rattan basket. Little girl, you say, how much does a dead wolf sell for a catty, and how much does a live wolf sell for a catty? The shopkeeper asked seriously.

Xiao Qiongzhi thought for a while and said, "If you buy more, the dead wolf will keep up with the wild boar that sold back to the uncle, one or two or three dollars a pound of silver, as for the live wolf, it is a little more expensive, just one or two or five dollars of silver a catty." ”

"Okay, that's it!" The shopkeeper has the final word.

Next, it is to call the wolf and count the money.

Ten dead wolves, a total of three hundred and ninety-six catties, a total of five hundred and fourteen taels of silver, and the shopkeeper added two coins, giving five hundred and fifteen taels of silver.

Five live wolves, a total of two hundred and thirty-three catties, a total of three hundred and forty-nine taels of silver, and the shopkeeper added five coins, and gave three hundred and fifty taels of silver.

It was eight hundred and sixty-five taels of silver.

The shopkeeper is very sweet.

With the experience of cooperation last time, he took the initiative to give a silver ticket with a denomination of 500 taels, three silver bills with a denomination of 100 taels, and 65 taels of silver.

Xiao Qiongzhi was very satisfied.

After getting the money, she smiled and said, "Uncle shopkeeper, can you help me inquire about the uncle who bought tiger meat and the wild boar last time, do you want to buy this kind of game?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head regretfully: "He definitely wants to buy it, but his family has noble relatives in the capital, and he personally took the tiger meat he bought the day before yesterday, and he quickly whipped into Beijing, and he hasn't come back yet." ”

"Okay, I see, thank you." Xiao Qiongzhi wrote down this in her heart, and rushed to the next restaurant with Zheng Bang: Yue Kezhen.

This restaurant, according to the last time I came, the people in the county said that the business is second only to the "rich family", and the shopkeeper is the same as the "rich family" shopkeeper, the people are more kind, and they are good at making money in harmony.

Like the day before yesterday, she saw the shopkeeper of the "rich family", first took out the jade plate that she returned to Zheng Bang in her dream, and then talked about selling tiger meat and wild boar on the "rich family", and then asked the shopkeeper if she wanted to buy wolf meat.

The shopkeeper immediately said that he wanted to buy it.

The streets and alleys of the county, since noon the day before yesterday, have been rumored that when you go to the "rich house", you can order tiger meat to eat.

made them, other restaurants, all the regular customers with good family backgrounds, go to try it.

Yesterday, some of the regular customers who had eaten it came over and praised the deliciousness of tiger meat.

The shopkeeper kept an eye on it and asked them curiously, if they knew where the tiger meat of the "rich family" came from.

Everyone said that the morning before yesterday, many passers-by saw that it was a young man with a little girl, using an ox cart, pulling a tiger and a wild boar, to the door of the "rich family" and selling it to the "rich family" shopkeeper.

Now that he sees Xiao Qiongzhi and Zheng Bang, the shopkeeper finally understands what is going on.

He took a closer look at the wolves on the ox cart and asked Xiao Qiongzhi: "How many more wolves can your uncle beat this winter?" ”
