Shopkeeper Li thought for a moment, and then chuckled, "Madam should be genuinely kind, and she is open-minded, intelligent, and eclectic. Second Brother Gu, when you talk to your wife, don't treat her as an ordinary woman. ”

Hearing that the eldest brother and his friends praised Liu Pan'er, the caravan manager Gu was also more curious, and he must meet Mrs. Derui, who has been admired for a long time, "Then I must observe it well today." ”

Steward Gu smiled, "Hehe, there are many things that make you curious." The curved plough was improved by Mrs. Drey from the straight plow. So many people have not improved, and Mrs. Drey has improved it, and has been praised and rewarded by His Majesty, and has been promoted everywhere. The mill built on our Zhuangzi does not need to be pulled by oxen, and it is powered by water, which was also thought up by Mrs. Drew, and the drawings were drawn and made by craftsmen. ”

"Let's talk about today's spice cumin, those Hu people transported it to our Dazhou from far away, and the price has increased dozens of times, but the supply in Dazhou is in short supply. Others have tried to grow in Da Zhou, but they have not succeeded, but Mrs. Drey has succeeded. With the improvement of rice breeding and planting, the first crop of double-cropping rice matured immediately, half a month to 20 days earlier than the local rice, and won valuable time for planting rice in the second crop. You have seen a lot of knowledge outside, not to mention that there are no women who are more powerful than Mrs., and even there are not many people who are as powerful as men than Mrs. ”

Shopkeeper Li also nodded, and then lowered his voice and said to Shopkeeper Gu and the caravan Manager Gu: "Our young master and General Li hit it off at first sight, one is in the court and the other is at the border, cooperating with each other, and they are fighting with the ministers and the army of Xiyun Kingdom." The basis for the negotiations came from the victory at the border gates. For reason, for public and private, we must be respectful to Mrs. Drey, and do our best for her affairs. ”

The caravan Gu steward nodded, completely convinced, "Okay, with what the two of you said, I know it in my heart." ”

The three of them brought gifts and came to the door.

Liu Pan'er asked the elder Village Chief Li to come over and help entertain him. Tang Yunshan and Huo Chengda also came over, and after the introduction, they got to know each other.

Tang Yunshan asked the caravan manager about the caravan, and the manager asked about some customs and customs in the northwest, and they also had a good conversation.

Most of the Gu stewards traveled in the capital and several large cities in the north, as well as a few rich and rich places in the south, and did not go to the northwest, so they were very curious about that side.

Liu Pan'er heard that Steward Gu had just mentioned that there was a female dependent who was going to Yangzhou and was also escorted by the caravan, so she asked curiously: "Can women also follow the caravan?" ”

Steward Gu nodded, "For example, Mrs. Zheng who went to Yangzhou with us all the way this time, her husband is a Yangzhou garrison." Now I take my children to Yangzhou and reunite with Lord Zheng. Although Madame Zheng has a family guard, she is not as many as the guards of our caravan, and she does not often travel to and from these cities as our caravan, so she is familiar with the road. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Mrs. Zheng asked the housekeeper to come over and say something. Besides, the Zheng family and the Gu family have also been friends for generations, have money to earn, and have favors, so after discussing with my eldest brother, I agreed. ”

When Liu Pan'er heard this, her eyes lit up, she thought that the caravan would not bring women, or old and weak women and children, so she hadn't thought about going over.

Now that she can, how could Liu Paner not go?

Liu Paner thought for a while and replied: "That's okay, it just so happens that I haven't been to the rich cities of Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and I want to go over and have a look." When I set off, I took my family guards with me. ”

"Huh?" Steward Gu was stunned for a moment, "Is Madame going too?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, anyway, there is Sister Xiaohua in the family, and she can handle it." Just talking about business, I don't worry about other people doing it for me. This time, I personally went over to take a trip to gain knowledge. ”

Steward Gu saw that Liu Pan'er insisted on this, so he nodded, "In that case, in the morning of the next day, at the south gate of the county seat, we will wait for Mrs. ”

"Okay." Liu Paner was in a happy mood, chatted with Steward Gu, and hit it off at first sight.

For today's meal, Liu Paner asked people to buy good wine in advance and made barbecue. The grilled meat made with cumin is delicious. The roasted vegetables also have a unique flavor.

In particular, the grilled eggplant was unanimously praised by everyone.

The shopkeeper Li of the delicious building couldn't wait to talk to Liu Paner about business, "Madam, how much is your seasoning a catty?" We also want to make this kind of barbecue? ”

Liu Pan'er smiled lightly, "Shopkeeper Li, this spice is very good, my price is one percent lower than the price of Hu Ren." ”

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he felt distressed for a while, and he couldn't buy cheap spices, "Such spices are four taels of silver a pound on the market, and the price is really expensive." Madam, how about three or two five dollars a pound? ”

Liu Pan'er was also refreshed, and nodded in response, "Yes, how much does Shopkeeper Li want." When I go, I will call you. ”

Shopkeeper Li thought for a while, "Later, Mrs. will write a contract and send us five catties every five days, which will be enough for the delicious building." Each delivery is accompanied by rapeseed oil, and after it is delivered to the inspection, the payment is settled on the spot. ”

"Thank you Shopkeeper Li for taking care of my family's business, so it's decided." Liu Pan'er said with a smile, "After eating, we will sign a contract." ”

Shopkeeper Gu and Steward Gu listened to Liu Paner and Shopkeeper Li talking about business, heroic and magnificent, and did not have to compare baht, and they were also a very good partner in business.

After eating, Liu Paner signed a contract with Shopkeeper Li, and tomorrow happened to be the day to send rapeseed, just to send spices. Liu Paner saw that Shopkeeper Li was full of praise, so she told Shopkeeper Li the trick of roasting eggplant, which made Shopkeeper Li very happy.

Entertain guests today, guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

After Steward Gu and the others left, Liu finally couldn't help but ask, "Pan'er, do you really want to follow the caravan to Yangzhou this time?" ”

Liu Pan'er nodded and looked at Liu, "Of course it's true." Jinling Yangzhou is not far from us, three or four hundred miles, and it can be reached in a few days. It may not be safe for me to go alone, but it is safe to follow the caravan and with so many people with me. ”

Seeing Liu Pan'er say this, Liu breathed a sigh of relief, but she suddenly thought that the rice at home was about to be harvested, "Pan'er, this year's double cropping rice is very important, after all, the county lord and His Majesty are staring at it, and nothing can go wrong." ”

Liu Pan'er smiled, "Sister Xiaohua, the rice will be harvested in half a month, and before the harvest, send someone to talk to Lord Liu, the county commander, and send someone over to count the output." We have long-term workers in our family, who will be responsible for harvesting rice and cultivating the land. Rice seedlings are growing well. After fertilizing the farmland and leveling the field, the second crop can be planted. Although there are many things, there are rules to follow. Sister Xiaohua, please at home. ”

"Me?" Liu pointed to himself, "Can I do it?" In case I mess you up, I'm a sinner. ”
