Chapter 8 Landing
Everyone was excited around the crystal clear rock candy, and Lu Weimang breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally done.
It's not in vain that in her previous life, she watched some weird news, interesting little experiments and the like, and now it finally comes in handy. Otherwise, she, a person who has gained more than ten years of education, can only carry a big bag to support herself and her younger brother in ancient times, and she will really be laughed to death by all her predecessors.
The big stone fell in his heart, and Lu Weimang looked up at Cheng Mo whose eyes were shining, "Next, can I give it to you?" ”
Cheng Mo looked at Lu Weimang, and when the two of them looked at each other, it seemed that some information was transmitted through the air, and after a while, Cheng Mo nodded.
From the last night, Cheng Mo's quick response, neat killing, and the delicate little dagger when he started his hands all made Lu Weimang understand that Cheng Mo in front of him was not an ordinary little beggar.
And she doesn't know much about some basic common sense, so it would be great to have Cheng Mo come forward.
"Tell me about your plans, and I'll decide what to do next."
Cheng Mo put his hands behind his back, and his body seemed to be deliberately stiff and stiffened all of a sudden, plus he was already taller than Lu Weimang, because of his wandering figure, he was thin and thin, and the clean cyan coarse cloth was worn on his body, and it seemed that because of the slight change in his standing posture, the whole person was also tall and handsome.
Lu Weimang looked at Cheng Mo, who had a look in his eyes, and asked Cheng Yang to put away the sugar, and the three small ones were together, not to eat more, so he went outside to discuss with Cheng Mo.
In the three main rooms, Lu Weimang and his two younger brothers slept together on the big bed in the east side room, Cheng Mo took his sister in the west room, and a big wooden table was placed in the middle room as a dining table.
At this time, Lu Weimang used the big teapot on the table to bring a glass of water to each of them before continuing.
"I don't know what your identity background is, but judging from that delicate dagger and your usual behavior, your family is either rich or a family, anyway, it is much more disciplined than us, and the three of us sisters and brothers came out of the small village below Feng County."
After Lu Weimang's words were finished, Cheng Mo smiled lightly with the teacup and didn't speak, and Lu Weimang had no choice but to continue.
"You must know the value of rock candy better than me, so the sales of rock candy may depend on you more."
Cheng Mo put down the teacup and nodded, "I think that we are weak in the early stage, so we should try not to attract attention first, and we can find some people such as merchants who haunt the county government, which can not only sell for a price, but also not be conspicuous in this Nanyang County." After we have the capital, we can go to the villages outside the county town to directly collect sugarcane and recruit people, and make rock sugar in large quantities. I insisted on coming to Nanyang County because it was closer to the sugar-producing area. Presumably, at that time, we should have some capital to protect ourselves. ”
Lu Weimang said his plan, but Cheng Mo didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
Lu Weimang simply said honestly, "If you think something is wrong, you can say it, it's the first time I've done this, and I have no experience on paper." ”
Cheng Mo saw that Lu Weimang seemed to be a little anxious, so he shook his head, "I didn't speak, not because I didn't think you had a bad plan, but because I thought, you said that you were from a small village below Feng County, but you can read and write, and you can make sugar, so your parents must have an extraordinary background." ”
Lu Weimang remembered that he had said that he had learned to read from his father, and the corners of his mouth twitched. In this ninety-nine-percent illiterate society, she is indeed a bit shocking, no wonder Cheng meditates a lot. But there is no way, I think about it better, it can only be so.
Lu Weimang smiled dryly and wanted to explain, but was stopped by Cheng Mo raising his hand, "You don't have to explain, of course I can trust you." Although from the perspective of your life experience, it is a bit bizarre, but you have a tough character, you act neatly and thoughtfully, no matter how hard you work with your two younger brothers, no matter how many adults can't do it, let alone virtue. My father taught me that when looking at a person, in addition to his background, we should also look at his words and deeds. That's why I'm going to help you in danger and come to Nanyang County with you. Since God has allowed us to meet, and now we must support each other's lives, then we should indeed be honest. My father is a member of the Cheng family in Hedong, and this time he came to Jingzhou to be recommended to Jingzhou as a county commander, and he originally thought that the war would subside, and the road should be fine, but he met mountain bandits. During the fight, my father asked me to take my sister first, leaving me to resist. My sister and I stayed in Feng County for three months, leaving a secret message to wait, usually not daring to show a trace of whereabouts, but we didn't wait for news from my father, and no one came to me. I couldn't support it, but I met such a kind person as you. ”
Cheng Mo shook his head and sighed, "I don't have anything to eat, and I still give me wheat cakes every day." ”
When Lu Weimang heard it, he was also a little surprised.
The habits she brought with her from her previous life were indeed a little out of place in herself.
"Okay, let's not talk about the previous ones, I understand your plan. I'll go out and visit tomorrow. We have the weapon of rock candy, and it will always be easier in the future. ”
Lu Weimang didn't know that it was precisely because she unreservedly performed a complete interpretation of the making method of rock candy in front of Cheng Mo that Cheng Mo felt moved and opened his heart.
In this era, white sugar is still a powerful tool for some people to circle money, not to mention a more transparent and pure rock sugar? Lu Weimang can take out the rock candy making method without reservation, so what else can he Cheng Mo hide?
Next, Cheng Mo first went to Buzhuang to make a dress, and then wore it every day to go out to visit, but it only took three or five days for him to find a place.
There is a group of northern high rollers who recently purchased brown sugar in Nanyang County, because this is the production area of cane sugar, so both the quality and price of sugar are particularly attractive.
found the target, Cheng Mo was not anxious, but silently waited for them to finish their business, and on the afternoon of leaving Nanyang County, he followed out of the city to stop the group.
Lu Weimang followed behind Cheng Mo, also wearing a newly made robe, dressed as a man.
Although others can see at a glance that she is a little girl with red lips and white teeth, it does not prevent her from having divine power, and she can be a guard for Cheng Mo in case of accidents.
"This little brother, what did you stop us?"
Among this group of businessmen, one person stepped forward, his face was white and beardless, and he smiled before he spoke, obviously a long-sleeved person who was good at dancing.
This person stepped forward, glanced at Cheng Mo, looked at Lu Weimang again, and found that it was two half-grown teenagers with clear eyes, so he first put his mind at ease, and then stepped forward to speak with a smile.
Cheng Mo didn't talk nonsense, and waved his hand directly, Lu Weimang took out a paper bag used to wrap snacks from his sleeve, opened it and handed it to Cheng Mo.
"Sir, please look."
Cheng Mo handed it over, and the businessman stretched out his hand to take it, his eyes turned around the two of them, as if he was puzzled by what the two teenagers had in mind, and then put his gaze back on the paper.
Shocked at a glance, he took out a boxy crystal, glanced at the sun, stretched out his tongue and licked it, and then assured that in his mouth, he chewed "crunch", and his expression immediately became eager, and he took the initiative to beckon the two to talk to the side.
The merchant behind the man saw that this person had some mysterious behavior, and couldn't help but follow up and explore together.
After their surprise, the smiling men had already chatted with Cheng Mo about key topics.
"How much does the little brother have, I have received all the money."
These two half-grown teenagers came over and showed this novel candy, why not sell sugar? So Qian someone doesn't talk nonsense and asks directly about the source of goods.
A few people behind him also silently followed, wanting a piece of the pie.
The merchant surnamed Qian glanced at his companions, gave a reassuring look, looked at Cheng Mo again, and glanced at Lu Weimang behind him.
No matter what he thought, Cheng Mo and Lu Weimang didn't want to make extraneous skills, so they directly offered a price, "A pack of white sugar is fifty wen, and it is often in short supply." This thing is a new product developed at home, not only crystal clear, looks extraordinary, but also use it to cook and make snacks, and even eat directly, there will be no sugar to eat too much on the fire, not only not on fire, with Sydney with stewed soup, can clear the lungs to go to the fire, is a good nourishing product. ”
Cheng Mo talked about the benefits of this thing, which whetted the appetite of the people in front of him, and immediately turned around, "But this thing is not easy to make, so I only got a small number of fine products." ”
"So..."
"So what?"
The merchant surnamed Qian asked eagerly.
"A pack of 200 wen, only 300 packs."
Cheng Mo simply showed his hole cards.
The businessman surnamed Qian was stunned for a moment, and made a quick calculation in his heart, but he habitually played Tai Chi on his lips, "Is it too expensive..."
Cheng Mo stopped talking, only smiled and looked at the person in front of him.
Seeing that the young man in front of him was not easy to be fooled if he didn't answer, the businessman surnamed Qian asked the two to wait and go back to discuss it himself.
In fact, he can swallow this bit of goods himself, but several of them advance and retreat together, and they can't eat alone if they have good goods, and after some discussion, they came back quickly, "In this way, three hundred packs are too little, and it is not good for me to go back to open up the situation." And your follow-up supply..."
"If you go all out, you can get 500 packs every ten years."
"We've got it all, it's a deposit. In addition, how many goods does the little brother currently have, although he takes it out, otherwise, our brothers are not enough. ”
Five hundred packs sounds like a lot, but in fact, if you convert it, it is less than a hundred catties.
Lu Weimang went to the hidden corner guarded by the three small ones on the side and took out a huge wooden box.
Although the box is large, an adult can still pick it up with force, but Lu Weimang picked it up with one hand and put it down casually, and the dust under the wooden box was obviously not light.
The merchant surnamed Qian seemed to be restrained by Lu Weimang's hand, and he couldn't see her thin body, her little arm that could be pinched with two fingers, where did she get the strength to lift this huge wooden box so easily.
The merchant beckoned to the convoy to the side, asked him to bring a wagon, and with an empty box, began to count.
A group of people quickly counted, "This is a hundred taels of silver tickets, plus a deposit of fifty taels." Ten days later, my housekeeper will come back to pick up the goods, when will it be? ”
"Here and now, we trade again."
"Good! Deal! ”
The two sides left satisfied.
"Brother Qian, why do you give so much deposit?"
The crowd was puzzled.
"We have been wandering in Nanyang for many days, have we ever heard the news of this "rock candy"? ”
"No, I didn't."
"These two young men are tall and well-mannered, but their clothes are not very appropriate. I guess it must have been a family with roots that came out of trouble, so it came out with a new family heirloom. This is our opportunity, take a deposit to stabilize the two teenagers, first put the goods in hand, even if we can't enjoy the supply of goods in the future, a period of time is enough for us to open up the market, make friends with high rollers, hurry back, release the news is serious. ”
"Brother Qian..."
…
Cheng Mo and Lu Weimang didn't know what to talk about over there, but the silver ticket they actually got was real.
From paper to practice, and then to the real silver, before this, the two of them had no bottom in their hearts, and at this moment, the hearts of the two of them have landed.
"In the past, I talked about high-minded and national affairs, but now, this more than 100 taels makes me so excited, it's really a short ambition..."
Cheng Mo looked at the silver in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly, but Lu Weimang didn't feel so much, she only knew that she could buy a house and land in the future, and settle down with her two younger brothers in this era.
