The family went to sleep with a longing for the ox cart.

Two black shadows jumped out of the farmhouse's courtyard and quickly blended into the night.

The next morning, Zhao Dalin carried twenty taels of silver in his arms and set off to the town with Lin Yunxuan and Zhao An. After arriving in the town, Zhao An still went to sell lo-mei alone, while Zhao Dalin and Lin Yunxuan went to Zuixian Building.

As soon as Shopkeeper Li arrived at the Zuixian Building, he heard that Lin Yunxuan was looking for him, and he was both happy and sad at the moment.

Originally, every time Lin Yunxuan came to him, there would be a surprise for him, and he was happy. But since receiving the order from his master a few days ago, Shopkeeper Li has been in distress.

It is not easy to raise prices reasonably but not too much. Xuan Ya is so smart, she can't be fooled with a few words, and if she doesn't get it right, she will notice the abnormality. Shopkeeper Li silently complained in his heart.

He has been dealing with Lin Yunxuan for so long, and he knows a little bit about her character, so he didn't dare to rashly mention this price increase to Lin Yunxuan before he thought of a countermeasure.

"Uncle Li, good morning." Lin Yunxuan saw Shopkeeper Li and greeted him sweetly, "This is the pie I made in the morning, it's still hot, you can taste it." “

Lin Yunxuan handed Shopkeeper Li a few pies wrapped in oiled paper.

When the shopkeeper saw the pie handed over by Lin Yunxuan, two bright lights suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he happily took it.

Since eating the pies made by Lin Yunxuan, he has never eaten the pies sold outside.

It's also a coincidence, once he met Zhao Dalin in the backyard who had finished delivering the goods eating pies, and the fragrance hooked his saliva and couldn't help staring at the pie. Seeing this, Zhao Dalin gave him a pie, the filling was green vegetables and pork, and the crust of the cake was very crispy, and he never forgot it after tasting it. Later, I specially mentioned to Lin Yunxuan that if she baked pies, could she make a few more and let Zhao Dalin bring them to him when she delivered them. Therefore, this time, before Lin Yunxuan went out, she deliberately baked pies.

"Miss Xuan, do you have something to look for me?" Shopkeeper Li poured Lin Yunxuan a cup of tea and asked.

"Uncle Li, who knows me." Lin Yunxuan covered her mouth and smiled.

"Haha, you have always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Otherwise, how could I see you in the Drunken Immortal Tower. Shopkeeper Li couldn't help laughing.

"Looks like I'm going to have to get rid of this bad habit." Lin Yunxuan smiled, and then said, "Uncle Li, I want to inquire if there are any good prison candidates around here." You know we're building a new house for the first time, and we're all laymen, and I'm looking for an insider to help you look at it. “

After Lin Yunxuan explained her intentions, Shopkeeper Li thought about it in his mind, had no clue, shook his head and said: "I can't think of a suitable candidate for the time being, so let's do it, I'll help you inquire first, and I'll notify you when there is news." “

Lin Yunxuan nodded, she knew that it would not be so easy to find the right candidate.

"By the way, I also have something I want to talk to you about." Seeing that Lin Yunxuan's matter was finished, Shopkeeper Li pondered for a moment and said: "The big proprietor is very satisfied with the new dishes recently launched by Zuixianlou in our Shimen Town, and intends to let Zuixianlou in several other nearby towns also launch these new dishes, so I want to ask, can you increase the supply of more?" “

"The ground for the new house is about to break, and it is estimated that we will be busy during this time, and the manpower is not very sufficient, so I am afraid that we will not be able to increase this supply." Lin Yunxuan said frankly that she didn't want to slap her swollen face and become fat.

"The price is not a problem, as long as you can increase the supply, the price is easy to say, and it doesn't matter if it is higher." Shopkeeper Li saw that Lin Yunxuan was embarrassed and took the opportunity to raise the price.

"It's not about the money, Uncle Li. If I can do it, I'll promise you. I can't be a man of my word without faith, I can't promise you and I can't supply you with goods. Lin Yunxuan saw that Shopkeeper Li had misunderstood what he meant, so she quickly clarified in desperation.

"The problem of manpower shortage is easy to solve, just hire a few more people. The wool is out of the sheep, and the increased cost of hiring people can be passed on to the drunken immortal building to bear, and the price is set by you. Shopkeeper Li continued to lobby Lin Yunxuan, and it was the first time he had done business.

Lin Yunxuan was shaken, and after thinking for a while, she finally agreed.

Forced buying and selling She had heard a lot in her previous life, but it was the first time she had encountered it and it happened to her, and she didn't suffer at all. If you come here, you will be safe, and there is really a pie in the sky, so there's no reason not to take it.

"Okay. Does Uncle Li need to increase the supply of each ingredient or only need to increase the supply of a certain ingredient? Lin Yunxuan asked.

"Fish balls and fish cakes are added by 20 catties each, and sweet potato vermicelli and dried bamboo shoots are added by 10 catties each." Shopkeeper Li replied immediately.

"Sweet potato vermicelli and dried bamboo shoots can't be shipped every day, and a batch of them can only be shipped every once in a while. And now that it's summer, there will be fewer and fewer dried bamboo shoots. Lin Yunxuan felt that it was necessary to explain it clearly to Shopkeeper Li.

"It's okay, as long as you're ready and send it over." Shopkeeper Li said briskly.

"Okay." Lin Yunxuan also responded cheerfully.

Then, after discussing some details, the two were ready to sign the agreement.

At this time, Zhao Dalin appeared at the door of the conference room dejectedly.

"Uncle, didn't you go to buy an ox cart? Coming back so soon? Lin Yunxuan asked in surprise.

She is not familiar with the operation of buying and selling ox carts, nor does she understand the market, so she does not plan to interfere in the purchase of ox carts this time, and leaves it to Zhao Dalin to deal with it.

"Xuan'er, let's not buy an oxcart today." Zhao Dalin was a little sullen.

"What's wrong? What's going on? Lin Yunxuan intuitively felt that Zhao Dalin was in trouble.

"The few cows I fancy are asking for very high prices, and I can't talk about it." After Zhao Dalin finished speaking, he felt a little embarrassed and a little sad.

He thought that after this period of training, he was no longer the useless Zhao Dalin he used to be, but he didn't expect that the matter of buying an ox cart today poured a basin of cold water on him, and he was very frustrated.

"How much do they ask?" Lin Yunxuan frowned and asked quietly.

"They will ask for forty taels of silver for an ox." Zhao Dalin said indignantly, "An acre of high-grade fertile land is only four taels of silver, an acre of first-class land is only three taels of silver, and a sturdy cow can be bought for a maximum of twenty taels." Aren't they clearly cheating people? “

Lin Yunxuan gasped, such a high price, what kind of cow is this, inlaid with gold and silver?

"Did you go alone to the cattle market on the west side of the bazaar?" Shopkeeper Li glanced at Zhao Dalin and thought thoughtfully.

"Hmm." Zhao Dalin nodded, not understanding the meaning of Shopkeeper Li's words.

"The cattle in Shimen Town are basically controlled by a few large local households, and they have joined forces to raise the price, and if there is no acquaintance to buy it, it is easy to be slaughtered." Shopkeeper Li sighed.

"These people are too hateful, too domineering!" Zhao Dalin felt aggrieved, but he couldn't help them.

"Acquiesced in the government?" Lin Yunxuan understood the problems and asked Shopkeeper Li for verification.

"It's all grasshoppers on a rope." Shopkeeper Li smiled bitterly, "If you want to buy cattle, I can be a middleman and take you to buy it." “

As the shopkeeper of the largest restaurant in Shimen Town, Shopkeeper Li came forward to buy it, and those big households had to give him some face, at least they didn't dare to cheat him openly.

Lin Yunxuan didn't expect that buying an ox cart would also be full of twists and turns, and it seems that market monopoly is regardless of time and space.

"It's okay if you don't buy an ox cart, we can rent Uncle Shuigen's ox cart for it." Lin Yunxuan didn't want to swipe the shopkeeper Li's favor card to buy an oxcart, the debt was the most difficult to repay, and she had asked the shopkeeper Li to help a little bit recently, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to pay off these favors in the future.

Shopkeeper Li seemed to see her concerns, and smiled slightly: "What, is it polite to Uncle Li?" It's good if you cook a few more delicious dishes and give Uncle Li wine as a reward. “

Lin Yunxuan's craftsmanship is better than that of his chef in Zuixianlou, and the dishes are novel, and he likes to eat Lin Yunxuan's dishes more and more. If he could help her buy an ox cart, which would not only satisfy his mouth, but also please his master, how could he miss such the best of both worlds.

Lin Yunxuan didn't know that Shopkeeper Li had his wishful thinking in his heart, but Shopkeeper Li was enthusiastic to help, and agreed after hesitating.

Zhao Dalin saw that Shopkeeper Li was willing to come forward to help buy an ox cart, and his previous depression and grievances were swept away.

Shopkeeper Li asked Lin Yunxuan and Zhao Dalin to drink tea and rest in the conference room, and he went out to find those big households.

After a stick of incense, Shopkeeper Li returned.

He was followed by an old man in his fifties, who was holding a sturdy ox with a shiny fur and a cart on his body. The board car is about seventy percent new, the car is made of wood, and the two wheels are also made of wood, which looks very sturdy, and the space is not small, and it can seat seven or eight people.

"This is Liu Laohan, this ox cart was bought from him, I'm not sure if you can drive the ox cart, so I asked him to come over and teach you how to drive the ox cart by the way." Shopkeeper Li introduced the identity of the old man to Lin Yunxuan and Zhao Dalin.

"I've watched Uncle Shuigen drive the ox cart several times, so it should be fine." Zhao Dalin was eager to try.

"Uncle, let's let Liu Laohan teach you, safety first." Lin Yunxuan pursed her lips and smiled.

It seems that no matter what time and space, men's love for cars is the same, even if the car is an ox cart.

Zhao Dalin finally followed Lin Yunxuan's suggestion, and happily went to the side to let Liu Laohan teach him how to drive the ox cart.

After Zhao Dalin learned to drive the ox cart, Lin Yunxuan signed a new sales agreement with Shopkeeper Li, and Zhao An also came over.

It turned out that after he finished selling lo-mei, he hadn't seen Lin Yunxuan for a long time, and they came to him at the time they had originally agreed, and they were very anxious, worried that something would happen to the two of them, so as soon as they closed the stall, they hurriedly ran to Zuixianlou to see if they could meet them here. Fortunately, they were all there, and Zhao An put down his heart.

When Zhao An saw the newly bought ox cart, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he felt strange about everything he saw and happy when he listened to everything.

"Dad, sister, is this really our family's ox cart?" Zhao An was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, feeling like he was in a dream. Seeing Zhao Dalin and Lin Yunxuan nodding to him again to confirm, he grinned and said, "Great, I can also drive ox carts to pull people to make money in the future." “

Lin Yunxuan couldn't help laughing when she heard this, it seems that Zhao An has also fallen into the eyes of money.
