Chapter 630: Lack of Heart
Because the goods he bought before were slaughtered, John insisted on pulling Ning Laosi and them to buy goods in the following days.
The shops that slaughtered John before, and when they learned that he knew Ning Siye, they sent him some furs one after another, which was regarded as smoothing out the price of the few percent that they had slaughtered him before.
John didn't expect that Misning would still be of this use.
Looking at the extra half of the carload, John smiled toothlessly.
Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er, this time they mainly sent a newly made loom to Ning Laosan, the old carpenter and the weaver.
After arranging things properly, Ning Laosi took Ning Mian'er to start receiving the goods again.
This time, in addition to fur, Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er also collected a lot of mountain goods and medicinal materials from the north of the country.
Especially the wild ginseng, after the skilled old hunter enters the mountain, if he is lucky, he will dig up the wild ginseng with a good vintage.
It's just that the price that can be sold here is really not very high.
If it were to be shipped to the south, the price would have to multiply several times.
If it is transported to the sea, this wild ginseng is estimated to become a good thing that is hard to find.
John's eyes glowed with a burning light when he saw it.
Let Ning Laosi see it, and couldn't help but want to touch his head.
It's like this, no wonder it's slaughtered!
However, good things like this are basically not sold to strangers, and most of them are sold to acquaintances.
If John had gone, others would have decided not to bring out such a good thing.
"Fourth master, I won't tell you the truth, I have two mallets in my hand now, one is about fifty years old, and the other is about thirty years old.
This is also what I managed to get from Orion, and I promised to give the other party a good price. ”
The merchant came to Ning Laosi's side and said in a low voice.
Ning Laosi took a closer look, and the year and condition were indeed good.
"Two roots together for five hundred taels, and if there is anything similar to this in the future, or better than this, it will be sent directly to the third master's house."
Hearing Ning Laosi's words, the businessman's eyes suddenly lit up, knowing that the price given by the fourth master was only a lot more, so he hurriedly nodded and agreed.
You see, when he got these two mallets from Orion, he gave only fifty taels of silver.
Of course, for the sake of long-term trading in the future, he promised that as long as the two mallets were sold, he would give another fifty taels.
Now the fourth master gave him five hundred taels, but he just changed hands and earned a full four hundred taels of silver.
The most important point is that he also has a relationship with the third master.
Today's third master, that is General Dingyuan.
On the side of Saibei, you have to give him a little face.
When he went back, John's eyes couldn't help but look at the box where Ning Laosi put wild ginseng.
When he returned to the mansion, he couldn't help but step forward with a shy face, wanting to ask Ning Lao to give him a wild ginseng.
And don't take a fifty-year-old one, just a thirty-year-old one.
It's a pity that Ning Laosi refused as soon as he pleased.
"These two wild ginsengs, I prepared them for my mother, and I don't sell them."
Hearing this, John died of heart.
However, with Ning Laosi here, the goods purchased by John later were much easier, and the price was the same as Ning Laosi's.
When he went back, there were originally more than 20 carriages for Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er to load goods.
Now with John's, it has directly become more than thirty.
If it weren't for Ning Laosi looking at more and more carriages and coming forward to prevent John from continuing to buy, it is estimated that he would be able to use up all the silver tickets he brought.
Now that only a dozen of so carriages are his, John couldn't help but sigh and die of distress.
The things here are so cheap, and if he didn't bring them back, it was all his loss!
Ning Laosi looked at so many carriages, but his face was solemn.
When leaving Saibei, he went to the dart bureau here in Saibei and asked them to protect their bodyguards.
Originally, if their guards were guarding more than two dozen carriages, they were barely strong.
Now there are more than 30 of them, and these guards of the Ning family are estimated to be unable to protect their heads if they can protect them.
Therefore, it is better to spend some money and invite someone from the dart bureau to help escort it.
When John heard Ning Laosi say that he wanted to hire bodyguards, and the money spent was not old or young, his heart hurt even more.
How good is it to use the money from these bodyguards to buy goods?
Moreover, he felt that all the way from Nanyue Province to Saibei to deliver this newly made loom, he didn't see any bandits or anything like that on the road!
Only those ignorant people, who didn't know anything at all, pointed at him and called ghosts, which made John very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
So, going back now, John felt that at most, he would meet such a few groups of ignorant people, and there would be no other problems.
However, Ning Laosi insisted on pending.
And said to John that if he didn't bear the cost of inviting the dart board, then on the way back, if something really happened, the Ning family's guards and the invited dart board would only give priority to protecting the Ning family's carriage.
Hearing Ning Laosi say this, John reluctantly nodded and agreed to bear a part of the silver for the dart game.
Ning Mian'er learned the news from the fourth uncle, and couldn't help laughing angrily.
"Doesn't this black charcoal head treat our Ning family as a wronged leader?
Escort him to Saibei for free, and help him receive good goods at a cheap price.
Now when you go back, you have to worry about even this bit of money for the dart board? ”
Ning Laosi thought about it, and then replied seriously.
"Maybe it's because their side is different from ours, our Great Jin Dynasty focuses on a subtle, point to point.
If there is anything to say, you can know it with a little mention.
And if they don't want to, they just say they don't want to, and they must not be ambiguous.
Otherwise, they won't be able to react.
We've only hinted at John before, and he doesn't understand the meaning of the hint at all.
This time, I told him bluntly that I wanted him to bear a part of the money for the dart game.
Although he was unwilling, he took it out at my strong request.
It stands to reason that on our side, this friend is afraid that he can't do it.
But look at him, does he look like he's going to break off his friendship now? ”
Ning Laosi heard his niece's words, and told Ning Mian'er the conclusions he had come to after getting along with John these days.
Hearing the fourth uncle's words, Ning Mian'er suddenly thought of the mines she had purchased overseas.
What she said in the mine before, it seems that those people don't understand it very well, but then she directly and forcefully ordered, and those people went to work in a hurry.
In short, it's not the majesty of her boss, but her straightforward command?
John didn't know that Ning Laosi and Ning Mian'er, the uncle and nephew, were talking about him, and after Mising asked him for the silver to hire a bodyguard, he felt a sense of security.
Therefore, every time he went to the station to cook and sleep, he slept with a whirring sound.
Let Ning Laosi sigh uncontrollably, this black charcoal head seems to look heartless.
Ask for a monthly pass, what's the deal!
