The next morning, after receiving a call back from the young marshal, Xingliang and Zhou Lijun completely put down their hanging hearts, and the young marshal's telegram also emphasized that more ways should be found to suppress bandits, and if the bandits are not eliminated, the common people will suffer.

Therefore, Zhou Lijun immediately arranged to convene a meeting on the operation of suppressing bandits......

Xinglan is only at home for one day every five days, and the other four days are spent in the market doing his business.

This day is the Glass Village Fair, and the Glass Village Fair is every four and nine days. The fourth, fourteenth, twenty-fourth, ninth, nineteenth, and twenty-ninth days of each month are the days when the glass village opens.

There are many people in the glass village market who have just experienced Liu Heiqi's sack, and they are still describing the war vividly. I can't see the slightest panic.

This is probably due to the fact that there are garrisons nearby.

Xinglan rushed a total of four episodes, and Donghe Village set every three and eight. The demon does not stay in the village every two and seven. Yutai Village is every Monday and Saturday.

Only on the days of zero and Friday, he does not have to rush to the market, and buys raw silkworm cocoons, Chinese herbs, and local specialties at home. Sometimes I go to Beixiang County to buy goods. Prepare the corresponding goods for yourself.

He came to the market early that day, erected four bamboo poles, pulled them up with ropes, covered them with a piece of home-woven local cloth, and made a simple shed for selling goods.

Then set up the shelves of the stall and began to put the goods he had picked up.

At that time, the people who rushed to the market all the year round were villagers who would store their bulky goods in the vicinity of the market. Pay a certain fee every month, and on the day of the market, the villager in charge of the storage will send your goods over in the morning, and then help you pick them up in the afternoon when the stall is about to close. There are people in the vicinity of each market who specialize in this.

Because the scale of the business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more varieties of business, Xinglan will store heavy goods such as white cloth and red cane sugar in a villager's house, and he has a lot of goods, and every time this fellow needs to use a wheelbarrow to pick up and drop off the stored goods.

After the fellow sent the goods, He Xinglan said: "Big brother, the southern barbarian who came to you to get the goods a few days ago came again yesterday, and he lived in the glass inn next door to my house.

Take the goods, which barbarian?

Locals refer to the southerners who do not speak the local dialect as barbarians, also known as southern barbarians.

Xinglan asked rhetorically, because there were several barbarians looking for him to get the goods, and Meng Buding didn't react which one it was.

Oops, why don't you have an impression, it's the one who came from the last episode, but people took all your raw silkworm cocoons at once, and the price is not low.

The brute who took my raw silk in the last episode is here again?

Xinglan asked rhetorically.

He remembered now that there was a barbarian when he was in a glass set, because as soon as he heard him speak, he knew that it was not a local neighbor, and when the barbarian asked him the price of raw silk, he also specially quoted a lot higher, as a businessman, he likes to pursue profits, and they all like the so-called copper smell in the mouth of the literati, and Xinglan is naturally vulgar.

When encountering merchants who do not understand the market of local commodities, the price is falsely declared, which is the unwritten rule of local businessmen.

Besides, the goods sold on the set, the price quoted by the stall owner, you need to make a counteroffer, there is a saying, the price of selling is all over the sky, and the price of buying is paid on the spot!

That's what I said, and it also arose from that time.

Just like in the market now, as a stall owner, you can ask as high as possible when you quote, and when the consumer counter-offers, you will also pay back to the lower place, which is the jargon: the asking price is not much, and the counter-offer is not less.

At that time, the price reported by the barbarian on the set was two percent higher than the normal price, but I didn't expect that no one would make a counteroffer, so he immediately paid the account and asked Xinglan to pack him and take it away.

When he left, he also said that he would come over in the near future and asked Xing Landuo to prepare some goods.

At that time, the mountains were all forested, and most of the mixed tree species in the forest were mulberry trees.

Therefore, at that time, people in the countryside raised silkworms in the summer and went to the mountains to cut wood and burn charcoal in the winter.

Capable peasant women can raise four stubble silkworms a year, silkworms to a certain extent, they are piled up with sun-dried branches, a layer of branches is sprinkled with a layer of silkworm babies, and finally covered with hay, tied with rope outside, this process is called "old silkworm".

Generally, after four days, when you open the torana that is covered outside, you can see that the baby silkworm has turned into a cocoon with white flowers.

After the cocoon is cooked and silked, there will be fresh hot silkworm chrysalis that can be used as a snack.

Due to the high purchase price given by Xinglan, after picking up the silk, they are all waiting for him to come to the door to get the goods sooner or later, and some will send them to the door by themselves after spending money. The fame spread more and more, so that within the scope of his purchase, cocoon dealers from other places were reluctant to come. In today's parlance: it's a monopoly.

While speaking, the deposited fellow pointed to the front with his hand and said: The southern barbarians are here!

The tea guy brought me a pot of tea brewed in the old dry oven, and a jar of boiling water. At that time, there were no kettles in the countryside.

By this time the barbarian had already come over, said hello, and sat him down.

As soon as the villagers saw that there were guests here, they consciously left first.

I'm coming to get your raw silk again today, do you have a lot of goods?

The barbarian asked straight to the point.

Xinglan first poured a bowl of old dry roasted tea for the barbarian with a tea bowl with red camellias, and said, business is not busy, come, brother, try our local old dry roasted tea first, and see if it tastes good?

The barbarian picked up the tea, took a sip gently, tasted it, stretched out his thumb, and said: It's delicious, it's delicious! Just ask this tea to drink very well, why is it called "old dry drying"?

Xinglan smiled and said: Lao Gan Dry is the common name of the locals, and the name of Zheng'er Bajing is Huang Daye Tea.

Southerners love to drink tea, and many big projects are negotiated by giving good tea as gifts or drinking tea in a teahouse. The barbarian said, "I'll bring you our local tea to taste the next time I come back."

Xinglan said you don't have to be so troublesome.

In this casual chat, the tone of the two people's speech did not feel much hotter than just now, and the atmosphere of the conversation gradually became easy-going.

The barbarian said: The raw silk I took from you last time is very popular with the people over there, because your raw silk here is not so much rain and not very humid because of the climate, so the color of the raw silk looks very good, I went back to double the price to sell, and it was sold out in two days.

The barbarian picked up the tea bowl and took another sip of large-leaf tea and continued: The main purpose of my coming this time is to tell you: I will pay you for the goods first, and I will generally not come in the future, and I will arrange a special car to come and pick up the goods every five days, at least 300 catties each time.

It needs to be explained here that the traffic at that time was relatively backward, and many times the world was measured by walking on both feet. So it gave rise to a laborer who specialized in delivering goods to others. There is a burden-lifter, similar to the mountain-picker on Mount Tai, and there is a wheelbarrow made of wood, this kind of cart can push 300 to 400 catties of goods, compared to the burden, the money will be a little more.

Therefore, the car that the barbarian said is not a car in the current sense! Don't get confused.

Xinglan felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart, but she couldn't let the barbarian see it on her face.

Then the barbarian said: Regarding the price, I feel it is necessary to talk to you again.

As soon as the price was mentioned, Xinglan remembered that it was 20% more expensive for him. blushed and hurriedly said: It should be, it should be......

If you want to know how Nanban and Xinglan have their price problems, I will tell you about it next time, and it will be more exciting next time
