Chapter 9 Money Comes from a Good Place
Among the three families in the long house, only the four sons of the second room are all grandchildren, and they are not only grandchildren, but also the expenses and the pomp and circumstance of marrying a wife are indispensable, as the four sons are getting bigger and bigger, the second wife is about to go crazy if she wants silver.
At this time, Huo Zixing had to fight the Lu family in order to cling to Peng Chengbo's mansion, so he had the opportunity to buy shares, and now the silver was spent like water, not only sold two shops, but even the 1,000 acres of paddy fields were sold, even so, he still owed a lot of silver to the seafood shops.
Although the second wife is a merchant woman, she has never done business, she doesn't care how many goods she takes credit from the seafood shop, she just feels sorry for the two shops and a thousand acres of paddy fields.
Every time she thought about it, she was so distressed that she couldn't sleep, so much so that now as long as she heard the word "seafood", the second wife's heart was pounding.
"Looking for a big girl for the fishermen? The money earned is not our family's ......" was only halfway through the words, the second wife stopped her mouth violently, she subconsciously covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she was confused.
The reason why the sister-in-law of the You family is so kind is not for those fishermen. Although the You family is the in-law of the Huo family, they can't talk to Huo Rouyun, and I'm afraid they won't even be able to see Huo Rouyun's face.
But she is different, no matter how unhappy Huo Rouyun is, she has to sit with her all morning, she is Huo Rouyun's aunt!
The sister-in-law of the You family also wanted to make a share of the money, so she came to her.
The second wife suddenly became enlightened, although she had never done business, but after all, she was a woman from a merchant family, and she knew something about dizziness.
Ningbo's seafood merchants rely on the right time and place, to the island fishing village in Dinghai to receive the goods, the price is very low, these fishermen themselves find Hangzhou, the price given is lower, and the shops in Hangzhou have always been from the Ningbo seafood merchants to buy, the price can be imagined, that is to say, if you receive the goods of these two fishermen, and then sell them to Yongfeng, it is a dividend.
No wonder the sister-in-law of the You family is coming to her for help.
The second wife's brain turned fast, if she came forward to find Huo Rouyun, Huo Rouyun was a big business, and she wouldn't care about a little bit of small business, maybe she couldn't refute her face and took all these goods?
The more the second wife thought about it, the more feasible she felt, and looked at the third grandmother's gaze kindly, she asked: "Although your eldest sister is doing big business, she is still a girl who has not been out of the cabinet anyway. ”
Unexpectedly, the third grandmother shook her head and said: "My sister-in-law said that those two fishermen found the shop of the You family, and there is no reason for them to come to the Huo family. ”
The second wife scolded the You family in her heart, but the scolding was scolding, and in the face of a dividend, she could only endure it.
As soon as she agreed, the third grandmother let her bride-in-law go to You's house, and it was only two hours before You's family sent a bill of goods.
The second wife looked for a literate mother-in-law, and the price was indeed cheap, and so many goods were only 5,000 taels of silver.
Five thousand taels!
The fishermen also made it clear that their whole village was waiting for the silver, and that if anyone was willing to ask for it, they could get a few hundred taels cheaper.
The second wife's heart was beating non-stop, and she hurried to find Huo Zixing, but Huo Zixing was busy with entering Beijing and went to Lu's house again.
The second wife waited until the third watch, Huo Zixing came back drunk, the second wife poured him three bowls of hangover soup, and Huo Zixing didn't wake up until the next morning.
The second wife showed him the list of goods sent by the You family, Huo Zixing only looked at it a few times before sitting up from the bed and asked, "What about the fishermen who sell the goods?" ”
The second wife said: "It's still in the You family, and the You family refuses to let us see people." ”
She asked again: "Master, this batch of goods is cheaper than what we imported from Hangzhou?" ”
Huo Zixing said: "It's not just cheap, it's a full thirty percent difference!" ”
Thirty percent?
The second wife roughly estimated that the three achievements of 50,000 taels of silver were 15,000 taels.
She didn't know if she was right, but it was a lot.
"Master, what should I do? Why don't you return the goods? With these goods on top? She asked.
Huo Zixing glared at her and said, "In the woman's opinion, those goods have already been ordered with Master Lu in person, and I have also written a letter to the third master of the Wang family, how can I change them?" Besides, it's already on the ship. ”
The second wife seemed to have been poured cold water, and suddenly lost her spirit: "Then what should I do, I can't push out this business that was sent to the door, right?" ”
She remembered the You family, the You family refused to lend her even a tael of silver, and now the two fishermen are in the You family, if the You family collects this batch of goods by themselves, maybe they can sell it, even if they don't sell it to Yongfeng, sell it to those restaurants.
"You can't let the You family earn all the money, master, we spent three thousand taels of silver to marry the third daughter-in-law, and now we are looking for their family to turnover, but we can't pull out a dime."
Huo Zixing was silent, and said after a long time: "The goods that have been loaded on the ship cannot be changed, but we can sell this batch of goods to the big girl, no, this matter should be cautious, you teach the third daughter-in-law well, let her stabilize her mother's family no matter what, since she married into our family, she is the Huo family, and she can't always think about her mother's family." ”
He said again: "You are here to drag the You family, I will go and let people check it to see if this batch of goods and those two fishermen are true or false, fortunately, Dinghai is not far from Hangzhou, I will let people go." ”
In Liuxi Lane, Cai He was peeling water chestnuts, Huo Roufeng was waiting with her mouth open, Cai He peeled one and fed her one, Cai Qin came in and asked with a smile: "There is fresh water chestnut so early?" ”
Cai He smiled: "It was sent by Zhuangzi for the Ninth Master to try." ”
Cai Qin walked to Huo Roufeng's side and said in a low voice: "The third grandmother of the long house has returned to her parents' house, and the second master sent Chang Sheng, the most powerful man by his side, to Dinghai. ”
Huo Roufeng nodded, swallowed the water chestnut meat in his mouth, and said to Cai Qin: "You call An Hai." ”
After a while, An Hai trotted in, and Huo Roufeng retreated from the servants beside him and asked, "How is the arrangement over there in Dinghai?" ”
An Hai said: "Ninth Master rest assured, the two people who are looking for the little one are genuine Dinghai fishermen, but their brothers have already left the island to make a living, and Dinghai is not only a fishing village, their brothers are the head snakes, and they have already arranged things over there, and Chang Sheng will be answered as soon as he gets on the boat, and there will be no delay." ”
