Banniang looked at the sky, and knew that she hadn't eaten yet, so she pulled her to eat together, Zhu was not at ease, and told a few words on the side, seeing that Banniang and Ah Lan still had something to explain, so they reluctantly went.

After Banniang finished explaining the things in Alan Restaurant, she asked her to calculate the cost and profit of the moon cake sales separately from the business account book of the restaurant, and classify them according to the selling price and sales volume. And asked her to tell Chang'an to pay attention to the classification and write down the information of the customers who came to order moon cakes, until Ah Lan wrote it down, she and Cang'er also had a good meal, and Uncle Huang came over, saying that Uncle Liu and Liu Erlang also came together.

Banniang thought that the agreed time was also close, and the two dart masters should have almost arrived, so they went to say goodbye to Zeng Budo and Zhu, until she left, she told the truth: "Daddy, I and the Liu family father and son, may not be able to come back in the Mid-Autumn Festival, probably not until the Mid-Autumn Festival can go home, because it is Quanzhou, all the way to the east, alternating land and water, although on the road to rush time, the original half a month back and forth is enough, but to visit the business, to see the order, just afraid to delay a few days." ”

She said to Li Yong yesterday that she would go to Fuzhou, but she just said casually, she didn't plan to go so far, and now the reason why Quanzhou is not Fuzhou is because although Fuzhou is the political center of Fujian, although Quanzhou's status is not as good as Fuzhou, but it will be the largest port in the whole world in the next few decades, and it is also the most developed place in the whole world for maritime trade.

In fact, she had planned to buy a sum of timber in a few nearby cities to tide over the crisis she was about to face, but yesterday morning, Li Yuanwai's envoy went to the restaurant to make trouble, but it reminded her that she couldn't make a mistake in taking precautions. Otherwise, she was afraid that no matter how good her business acumen was, no matter how skilled she was in charge of carpentry and lacquer workers, and no matter how good her design ability was, her first carpentry company might lose the opportunity to gain a foothold in Nan Fung because of the crisis of supply.

In this first step, she tried her best, and she must not fail.

Therefore, it was decided to go directly to Quanzhou in one step yesterday afternoon, one is Quanzhou, camphor wood is very famous, and Quanzhou as a Haikou city, want to come to Hainan the most famous huanghuali and rosewood, where it should not be rare, or she is lucky, can buy a large number of goods back, and moreover, she has more than 10,000 money in hand, even if it is a deposit, whether it is to find overseas or domestic maritime merchants to import overseas precious timber, it is enough to pay a deposit. With heavy profits, there will always be people who will be willing to do this business. In the next half year, she believed that she would be able to earn the balance and successfully acquire the most valuable amount of wood in the coming year, which was enough to be proud of all the wood shops in the Great Song Kingdom.

In this way, after next summer, she no longer has to worry about the problem of timber supply.

She knows very well that every sea ship needs ballast weights, and in Southeast Asia and other places of origin where all kinds of precious timber are abundant, the price of wood is naturally low, and those merchants will not refuse such a business when they see that she is willing to buy at a much higher price than the place of origin. Because for them, ballast with wood is definitely a profitable thing.

Although it will be delayed for a few days, and there are many risks, but Banniang thought about it again and again, since she is unwilling to be constrained by others in the future, it is better to simply do it in one step, even if it is difficult now, you must pave the road to the future. Only then did I decide to go straight to Quanzhou.

If she can lay a good foundation now, in the next few decades, with the development of Quanzhou, her future road will become wider and wider.

For a businessman, no matter how good his tactics are, he can't go further without a far-sighted strategic vision.

Zhu Shiyuan thought that her trip was in a few nearby cities, but she didn't expect to go so far for the first time, so she couldn't help but hurriedly say: "How can it work?" No matter how busy you are, you can't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home, right? Besides, we can't rest assured, didn't we say that we were going around the nearest few cities? ”

The arrow is on the string and has to be sent. The reason why she delayed talking until the morning was because she was afraid that her father and mother would not agree.

Seeing that the father Zeng Budo and the eldest brother Zeng Ziye were silent and did not make a sound, Banniang breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that although the father was not at ease, he might not necessarily stop her, so he smiled and persuaded: "Mother, I originally only planned to go around the nearby cities, but I just thought about it, if the nearby cities can't order good wood, it will soon be the New Year's Festival, and it will be even more inconvenient to go out, and the business will be a lot busier at that time, and I can't leave." It just so happens that the money in hand is also abundant at this time, so it is better to take advantage of this time to go farther. And my father and eldest brother know that Quanzhou is the most developed place for maritime trade, not much worse than Minxiang in Fuzhou, and I understand people who know how to say that there are far more precious timber in the open sea than in the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately the wood of our Great Song Dynasty is good, but there is no imported precious timber. I thought about taking this opportunity to go to Quanzhou, if I was lucky, I could find a suitable maritime merchant to do a timber business, then in the future, the source of timber in my woodcraft workshop would be better than any woodcraft shop in the Great Song Dynasty, and it would be necessary to save a lot of effort to do business in the future. Daddy, I really shouldn't have changed my mind and worried my father and mother, but my daughter didn't mean to deceive my father. Please also ask your father and mother not to be angry. ”

Having said all this, it is just an explanation. Zeng Budo knew that she had made up her mind, so it was better to really tie her up, right?

Thinking about this child's so-called business, she really didn't worry about herself, and knew that she was not a child who didn't know what to do, but after all, she was her own daughter, and she was only thirteen years old, how could she not be concerned, so she nodded and said, "Since you want to go like this, Dad won't stop you." However, you are alone and have no family to take care of, and you have never been far away, so you must focus on safety in everything and don't do things that you are not sure of. The father and son of the Liu family went with you, and they also invited two dart masters, so they are all here now, right? I'll go with you too. ”

Seeing that her father didn't object, Banniang couldn't help but be grateful for her father's open-mindedness, and liked: "Thank you, Dad, I'll invite them." ”

"Let's go to the flower hall."

It was a formal place to meet.

Banniang also knew that Dad was going to formally entrust himself to the Liu family's father and son and the two dart masters, so it was so formal to show respect.

The two dart masters and the father and son of the Liu family didn't expect Dr. Zeng to meet them in the flower hall, and they were a little stunned for a while, but Banniang smiled and said, "Please go and drink a cup of tea, otherwise, my father is just afraid that I will not worry about traveling far away." ”

Only then did the four of them know what Master Zeng meant, but with such courtesy, the four of them were still a little uncomfortable. Or the dart master walks outside all the year round, and his personality is more sparse, and the older Master Guo smiled: "Since Dr. Zeng is invited, where do the villains dare to resign?" Let's go with Miss Eight. ”

The father and son of the Liu family will also be happy, so they went to the teahouse with Banniang.

Ah Lan brought the tea one by one, and asked the four of them to take a sip of tea first, before saying with a smile: "I'm afraid that this trip will take a few days, and the four of you will work hard, and please take care of my Baniang on my behalf, and when a few of them come back smoothly, I will definitely personally invite the four to catch the wind for the four." ”

Uncle Liu hurriedly said: "The doctor is too polite. That's what we're supposed to help. Besides, Banniang acted safely, not comparable to ordinary official ladies, that is, the villain is so old, and he admires it very much, so the master doesn't have to worry. ”

The two dart masters even said: "The doctor is so courteous, the younger two are really ...... Please rest assured, it's not the little two who boast, the little two are in Nanfeng City, and they are the most famous dart masters, if it weren't for Miss Cang'er's father who was the owner of the small two in the past, this dart, the dart game would not let the two of me pick it up. The little two pledged their lives that they would never ask the eighth lady in the house to have any accidents, and they would definitely escort the eighth lady back to the house safe and sound. ”

Zeng Budo smiled: "I am grateful that the two of you can be so dedicated." It's bothering the two. ”

After a few more words, together with Zeng Ziye, he sent Banniang and a few people out.

After this delay, when Banniang and the others arrived at the dock, the sun had slowly risen above the horizon, shining on the sparkling surface of the Xujiang River, glowing with golden light. A few people got into the boat and followed the waterway all the way to the east.

So for two days, although it is a waterway, the scenery along the way is beautiful, this is also the first time that Banniang went out alone, to see the novelty, and not to feel bored, this day sitting in front of the window, looking at the tropical style on both sides of the strait, I can't help but think of the situation of the first time I went out with my father and brother after the Dragon Boat Festival last year, and smiled.

I met Chai Nineteen that time, but I don't know what happened to him now.

Thinking of Chai Nineteen, and thinking of Di Yong, the handsome man like an immortal, there was a faint melancholy and inexplicable longing in his heart for a while.

I don't know what happened to him now. I don't know if he will think of himself by chance. I don't know how his errand went, if there is any danger, I think he should be in the capital when he comes here, right?

In this life, will there be a chance to meet him? Or, when they meet again, he probably can't remember who Zeng Yunshan is, right?

I thought of the handsome back in the sunset when he left that day, and let out a long sigh.

Cang'er smiled: "How can you sigh? Along the way, you're as happy as the bird out of the cage. ”

Banniang was shocked to realize that her cranky thinking was really a little inexplicable, she was so worried about an unrelated person, what was going on?

Such a wonderful man is really not something she should think about.

So he collected his thoughts and gossiped with Cang'er.

At dusk, Guo Dart and Qian Dart came to talk, because Banniang had already changed into men's clothes, Guo Dart said: "Son, go ashore at night to spend the night, tomorrow it is time to turn to the land, I am afraid it will be much harder than on the water, tonight the two sons have a good rest for one night, and in the next two days, it is better to hurry up." ”

Thinking of going ashore, Banniang was also very excited, I don't know what kind of beautiful scenery the mountains and rivers are beautiful in Fujian in the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and what kind of prosperity the town should be.

Then he nodded and said, "Cang'er and I have never been far away, so let's follow Master Guo's arrangement." ”

When it was getting dark, the boat line docked, several people went ashore together, Master Qian went to hire two carriages, went straight to the nearest grass market, and went to the grass market near the wharf, and found a inn where two dart masters were familiar with each other to settle down, and as soon as they settled down, a shopkeeper came over and asked: "How many people are eating in the inn or going elsewhere?" ”

Guo Dart said: "When you eat in the inn, you can pick up the signature dishes in your store and serve a few dishes." Our son is a nobleman, nothing else, the dishes must be clean, you should do your best. ”

The little second smiled and said: "Guo Ye and Qian Ye are often in contact, how dare the little one slack off?" But don't worry. ”

Guo Dart Shi waited for the shopkeeper to leave, and then smiled: "The two sons please wash up first, the dishes of this inn are fine, and when you have dinner, if the two sons are interested, I and Brother Qian, I will accompany the two sons to the grass market for a walk, the dock here is the only way to Quanzhou, although it is not big, but it is also prosperous." ”

Banniang said: "It's hard work, just follow Master Guo's meaning." ”

Master Guo withdrew.

Banniang and Cang'er finished washing, because they had not moved their muscles and bones for two days, and when they came to the shore, they were a little uncomfortable, so they moved their muscles and bones in the house, and heard someone knocking on the door outside the house.
