Chapter 331: The Lu Family's Tooth Walk

Lu Yougui was finally said**er**. He put the silk in his hand. Some of the quality changed hands slightly, sold for more than fifty taels of silver, and borrowed one hundred taels from the eldest young master Li Jing, together with the remaining thirty or forty taels of broken silver when the goods were shipped first, and gave ** to ** Er, and instructed Mo Han and Sister-in-law He for a long time before saying to Chun Ying: "My father knows that you used to beg for a life with Brother Hu Xiao, and you followed the second old lady and the second wife to see the world in Dongfu, and you have practiced some courage to come out, but Jiangnan is different from the capital, you are not familiar with life here, and you are a **child's family, you should be cautious in everything, Don't think you're smart enough to ignore others. ”

Chunying knew that his words were advice, and solemnly responded: "Dad, don't worry, I know how many catties and taels I have." ”

How can you rest assured: "Money should be stored carefully, and don't easily go into the hands of others." Although Mo Han is good, you also have to remember that there is a difference between male ** and where you live...... It's better to rent it outside, and it's better to spend more money than to treat yourself badly. Let Sister-in-law stay with you. Don't gossip. Although Mo Han is Brother Hu's former scholar, he is a young man after all. ”

Chunying opened her mouth and nodded helplessly.

Lu Yougui thought for a while, and said: "If you are really in trouble, and Young Master Xu's ** is not there, you can go to the Jing family for help, or **Huijun****." A few days ago, you also knew a few people from these two families, and if the matter was urgent, you could also give it a try. ”

Chunying said: "I know this, I have already written down the addresses of the two of them, maybe I can sell our materials to them." And also...... If I really encounter something that I can't decide, I will go to Changshu Xiaofeige's Zhuangzi to ask for advice, I think that Grandpa Zhang is an old man, and ...... Not an outsider. ”

Lu Yougui pursed his lips and nodded "um".

The next day, Chunying sent her father on the ship back to Beijing. Although Li Jing didn't understand why the Lu family wanted to leave **'er here, he still entrusted the Yue family to take care of it, and even suggested that Chunying move to the Jing family's house to live. Chun Ying declined, she has nothing to do with the Jing family, she is the nephew of their family's **son-in-law's housekeeper, what kind of identity is it if she lives in their house?

When she returned to Suzhou, she first sent Mo Han out to inquire about the rental of houses, and rented a two-entry courtyard near the city gate near the river for a period of three months. In front of this small courtyard is Mo Han's residence. The main hall was cleaned up as a place to receive guests, and Chunying took her sister-in-law to live in a small building in the backyard, and the downstairs room could be used as a warehouse. Although this house is a little old, it is better than being small and elegant, there are a few tall trees in the backyard, it is very cool to live in summer, although it is not as spacious as the courtyard in the capital, but it is quite comfortable.

However, Chunying didn't have time to savor this comfort, and as soon as she settled down, she immediately found Wu Di's house according to the address left by her father.

Probably the news has spread out, and Wu Di's house has **** a bunch of merchants, who are bargaining noisily. Wu Di was originally in a hurry to drag the store and goods to keep the price so low, but he didn't expect so many people to come to buy, how could the merchant suffer a loss? So the price went up again, and the cloth that was originally eight cents of silver rose back to one and two cents, and the merchants who wanted to buy the cloth knew the original low price. Where is willingness? When the counteroffer reached a penny, it froze, and neither side would take a step back.

Chunying secretly regretted that she had already bought the goods before renting a house. It's just that in this situation, she really can't squeeze into a crowd of old and young masters to follow the rush to buy, and as soon as her eyes rolled, she asked Yahuan to spread the word that she was going to visit the Wu family.

Before coming, Chunying took into account that the Wu family was keeping filial piety, so she specially changed into plain clothes, and asked Sister-in-law He and Mo Han to change out of Yan **'s bright silk flowers, ornaments, belts or something, so when she came to Wu ****, she first got a good impression. Then Chunying appropriately expressed her condolences and advised the bereaved family not to be too sad. Wu **** only felt that there were so many merchants outside, only this girl was the most supportive, which was like those Jian businessmen, knowing that there was a funeral at home, and they had to fall into the well!

However, she also said that she could persuade her husband to consider Chunying as a buyer, but she couldn't make the decision on the price, and it was impossible for Chunying to get the material at a price of eight cents.

Chunying was already prepared in her heart, but there was nothing to be unhappy about, carefully calculated, if she accepted the fabric at a price of one penny and transported it to Suzhou, she could sell it for about one penny and five cents to one penny and seven cents. If it is sold to northern merchants, it may have to rise a little more, and if you still have a few profits, this business is still done, but it is a pity, it is not as ideal as previously expected.

However, she had other plans.

Wu **** was a little surprised by the price she offered, although it did not meet her husband's requirements, it was higher than the merchants outside, so she asked the girl to invite her husband to the front.

Wu Di still vaguely recognized Chunying's appearance, and when he learned that it was Lu Yougui who asked **er to come, he smiled and said: "Lao Lu has the heart to take over, why didn't you say it the day before yesterday?" The price was then, but now it is not. ”

Chunying also smiled and said: "My father didn't have any money on hand at that time, so I had to give up, but then I thought about it and felt that there was something to do, so I made an appointment with a merchant to see the goods, so I let the little ** come and go." Master Wu, we are acquaintances, save those virtual ones, let's look at the goods first, if it's good. What do you think of our family buying you 2,000 pieces of fine cotton cloth for a penny and a penny? ”

Wu Di was reluctant, and he was worried that the merchants in the front yard would know that he had sold the cloth at this price, and how could the rest of the cloth be sold at a high price? Besides, two thousand horses only accounted for one percent of the entire goods, and the number was too small, so it was determined that it would cost one dollar and two cents of silver, and if Chunying gnawed all the goods, she could give the price of one penny and one cent.

Chunying calculated and calculated in her heart, and then gritted her teeth and agreed. He also asked to see the goods first. As a result, she determined that those were all high-quality cotton cloths, but there were some inferior or old cloths mixed in, so she smiled, picked two thousand high-quality ones, and said to Wu Di: "Master Wu, that's all, and please help hire a ship to transport them." ”

Wu Di secretly scolded the little girl for being a ghost, and at the same time reluctantly ordered someone to carry it, and Chunying didn't talk to him, and directly paid two hundred and forty taels of silver - there is also her ** house money here, it's really bloody!

Maybe it's because she's brittle enough, as soon as Wu Di receives the silver, her face looks much better, and even Chunying asked him for the source of goods, and he also said it very crisply, including four or five areas such as Songjiang and Jiading, as well as dozens of weavers in Suzhou City-anyway, he doesn't plan to do this anymore-and writes for Chunying? br/>

That's what Chunying wanted, took it with a smile, said a lot of good things, and then said goodbye and left, without alarming the merchants in the front yard at all.

Using a boat to bring these back to Suzhou City, Chunying directly found an inn where foreign merchants gathered, gave Xiao Eryi a penny, and inquired about the names of several wealthy merchants, so he asked Mo Han to bring samples to the door to sell. Although Mo Han was a little nervous about this kind of thing for the first time, fortunately the cloth was a good cloth, and the other party almost didn't bargain, so he bought the whole batch of cloth at a price of one and a half cents per horse. Chunying earned sixty taels of silver as soon as she changed hands, and when she returned to the small mansion, she couldn't help but steal joy in her heart.

With the money, she ran back to Wu Di's house the next day, and found that the merchants were still there arguing with Wu Di over the price, and now she had pressed back nine cents of silver. Wu Di was in a hurry, where could he withstand them grinding like this? I was about to give up and saw Chunying. It was as if he had seen the ** light in winter, and he hurriedly said: "One penny and two cents of silver!" Take them all! I'll give you twenty more!" ”

Chunying smiled: "Master Wu is really funny, where do I have that kind of capital?" No matter what Wu Di said, he didn't agree, and finally he was so worn by his husband that he couldn't stand it, so he said "reluctantly": "If it's a horse for one money, I'll buy another 3,000 horses." ”

Wu Di's eyes widened, Chunying just lowered her head to eat tea, and after a while, put down the teacup: "Master Wu must be embarrassed, I'd better go back, my father sent a letter, saying that he had bought five thousand fine standard cloths, and he was short of one hundred taels of silver to pay the balance of the goods, and asked me to send the silver to him, and he took a boat at this time, and it could be delivered before dark." ”

Wu Di hurriedly stopped her, and thought about it carefully, if she couldn't drag the goods anymore, the trip would be delayed, and those merchants outside were afraid that they had already formed an alliance, and he could only accept the low price, and now the Lu family wanted to buy three thousand horses at a price of one dollar, maybe they could be prompted to accept this price, although it was much less than expected, but it was better than being ** to eight cents of silver, so he gritted his teeth. Chunying immediately paid the contract, went to the warehouse, picked up three thousand good cloths, and quickly hired a ship to transport it away, and also did not make a face in front of other merchants.

She still sold the cloth to the big merchant before, took the silver and returned to the residence, and then only heard that Wu Di sold all the inventory at the price of one dollar and one horse, and went back to the countryside by boat the next day, and several merchants who took over the goods complained under the **, I don't know which one reached an agreement with him, causing everyone to spend more money. She secretly snickered, and did not do such a thing anymore, and the next day, she sent Mo Han to inquire about their needs with the merchants from other places, and she changed into cloth clothes, chartered a boat, and took her sister-in-law to the weaver's house that Wu Di said to receive the goods.

Suzhou City, as well as Songjiang, Jiading, Changshu three places, there are countless families engaged in the family cotton textile industry, some of them, the cotton cloth woven is particularly good, often can be sold at a high price. Chunying is looking for such a person. She is a **, and it is easy to talk to those aunts and aunts who weave cloth, unlike other male ** merchants, and she has to be pulled by a middleman. She herself has done a small vendor business, knows how to please people, and has fought with various ** people in the Hou Mansion and Dongfu, coaxing the aunts and aunts of the weaver family happily, and successfully set the purchase contract. Next, she only needed to wait three or five days, calculate the time, and then charter a boat, and collect it all the way along the river, without any effort, and after half a day, she could receive fifty or sixty pieces of cloth.

Although this amount of cloth can only earn a profit of two or three taels of silver, which is far worse than the previous big deal, Chun Ying told herself that she can't be ambitious, two or three taels of silver is almost twice her previous month's money, she can earn the previous month's income in one day, what is not satisfied?

More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Chunying is doing the work of receiving and selling goods every day, and occasionally encounters big deals. *18. BR/>

There were more and more people selling cloth to Chunying, and gradually, even merchants from other places knew her name and began to take the initiative to come to the door. Chunying thought that she had been tired for a long time and should rest, so she changed the original way of operation and asked her sister-in-law to receive the goods, Mo Han was responsible for contacting foreign merchants and inquiring about things at the port by the way, and she was responsible for coordinating and finding new sources of goods. When the time entered the third month, the signboard of "Lujia Yaxing" had been played.

Just as Chunying was calculating that it was time for her father to come back, Mo Han suddenly ran back and said, "Girl, I inquired about the news that it is the second young master!" ”! ~!
