Chapter 517: Middlemen
"Yes." Chi Xinian simply nodded, and at the same time took the time to glance at the guy who led the way, "Are you interested in northerners?" ”
At the moment, the situation is not clear, so she is naturally cautious.
However, the shopkeeper only said: "Guest officer, you misunderstood, it's not that you're interested in northerners, but now, there are a lot of northern businessmen in the city." ”
"Oh? They're also here to pick up bargains? Hearing this, Chi Xinian only thought about it and figured out the reason.
When they came, they were also accompanied by a caravan.
According to the captain of the caravan, many merchants are now pouring into Binh Hung Province to buy Pyeong Hung's textile specialties at low prices.
As a result of the disaster, many people lost their homes and were left without food or clothing. At this time, in order to survive, they are willing to exchange anything for a mouthful of food to save their lives.
Even the families who were originally decent were willing to take out their home collections because the grain fields and granaries were flooded and the grain was short.
Originally, Pingxing's textile industry was well-known in the Jiangnan area.
Many people here raise silkworms, weave cloth, and embroider. Their craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation, and it can be regarded as the characteristic of Binh Hing.
Even the show girls who show off their clothes and patterns for the nobles in the palace are mostly selected from the Pingxing area. In this way, you can see its foundation.
It is precisely because of this that many merchants come here with grain, and exchange them for show goods at prices far lower than usual...
Chi Xinian is not very interested in doing business, but now that she heard the shopkeeper mention this matter, she wanted to use her knowledge to inquire about some news.
And as soon as he heard her words, the shopkeeper immediately understood that she was knowledgeable. Even blamed her team on the queue for missing out.
"No, this Pingxing Mansion show is well-known in the whole Dajing, and the current situation is a disaster for most people, but it is an opportunity for a few businessmen." While talking eloquently about business opportunities, he quietly hinted to Chi Xinian, "I don't know if the girl is also interested in buying the show, if there is... Hehe, the villain can save the girl some time looking for goods. ”
"Do you still have a way to receive the goods?" Chi Xinian chuckled, "What? Now the inn still works part-time to earn the money of a middleman? ”
"It's... At present, food is as expensive as oil, and the villain is also a last resort to support his family. The shopkeeper's eyes rolled left and right to make sure that no one else heard their conversation, and he arched his hand again and smiled in return.
He smiled dryly: "Girl, we are also begging for a living, if you have the heart to buy, you can find a villain to introduce." If you want to look around for yourself, it's okay, but please don't tell our shopkeeper about it.
"In the end, we're just guys working in the store, helping to match, and the shopkeeper won't let us do it."
"Understood." Chi Xinian lowered his head slightly.
Naturally, she wouldn't embarrass a young man, but she didn't want to miss the opportunity to explore the situation of the people in the main city of Pingxing Mansion.
So, when she arrived at her room, she simply beckoned and motioned for Xiao Er to come in and add tea for herself: "This Pingxing show is a unique product in the world, and I also have a little collection at home."
"If there's one that's right for the price, I'd really like to buy some. It's just that... I came all the way south, and I saw that many places have been affected, and the prices of things are different from the past. ”
