"Big brother, our tea harvest is really cheap, and when the time comes, we will be able to double the cost next year."

This red-faced man is a Yongzhou man at first glance, and he has the iconic skin color of the Yongzhou man who was blown out by the Gangfeng wind, but his eldest brother has a fair complexion, and he can't see the roots.

Moreover, the younger brother of the two is dressed in coarse cloth, and the eldest brother is dressed in a plain brocade robe, which looks like a complete passerby.

It turned out that they were the children of civilians in Wuwei County, Yongzhou, who had accumulated in their families for more than ten years, blessed by God, and the people in their families were free of illness and disaster, and although they were not in good weather, they did not encounter natural disasters. But on the one hand, Wuwei was not a prosperous scholar, and on the other hand, Qiao Shengli had limited talent, so he showed his talent in high school, and after failing several township exams, he decisively abandoned literature and business, and took his brothers out to go out.

Otherwise, they all said that the scholars had insight, they saw the prosperous Jiangnan from the book, and saw the talented Kyoto, so they broadened their horizons, so Qiao Shengli did not take his younger brother to do business at home, but directly took his younger brother to Jiangnan.

Fortunately, the brothers grew up in the small yellow earth, and their bodies were good enough, and they walked all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.

The brothers used all their savings to buy salt and silk tea and went home, and used the small cart at home to push the goods to the south of Qilian Mountain, where the crowded caravan was scarce, and exchanged a little salt, tea, and silk for a lot of income.

This time and again, it is a year's time, but the income from this trip has made the Qiao family cover the silver for a fat year.

Now is the third year of the Qiao family brothers' business, they are familiar with the road in the early summer along the Yellow River down the Yangtze River, find cheap and good goods and then return to Wuwei's hometown, go home for a short repair, will set off to the depths of Qilian Mountain to sell goods. The colder and deeper the winter, the more expensive it is to sell goods quickly.

The brothers worked hard all year round, but they were content.

Now it's another year of returning from a cargo, and the two brothers are standing on the passenger ship, and it is rare to be idle.

Seeing that his younger brother was happy, when his brother's Qiao Shengli's eyes swept to the side, and saw that no one was paying attention to the two brothers, he spoke, "Seeing that we are about to arrive in Jincheng, after reaching Tianshui, we have to get off the boat and take the land route, you have to rest in the cabin for a few days, and there is a time when we have to work hard."

The younger brother Qiao Jiayi smiled innocently, "Our Zhuang family is just impatient to rest." If you are at home, I am afraid that you are working in the field at this time, and this trader is already very light. ”

When the eldest brother Qiao Shengli saw his younger brother like this, he didn't say much, but looked at the wide river and became obsessed.

"Brother, look! What's there? God has appeared? ”

The exclamation of his younger brother Qiao Jiayi not only made Qiao Shengli come back to his senses and look in the direction that his younger brother was pointing to, but also the old and young masters on the boat were attracted to the attention and looked ahead.

I saw that on the edge of the blue sky, there were not only white clouds floating, but also floating a colorful eaves, which were as bright as a corner of the heavenly palace under the sun.

There was an old man on the boat who saw it, knelt on his legs, and called "miracles" and "gods descend to earth", and his younger brother Qiao Jiayi also wanted to kneel down with the old man, but was pulled by the eldest brother, "Look carefully, under the eaves of the colorful glass, there is a wooden house." ”

Qiao Jiayi took a closer look at it, "It seems to be, hey old man, it's not a miracle, whose house is it!" ”

The old man got up and looked carefully, the eyes of people nowadays are good, just now he was in a trance, but now he looks carefully, isn't it, the bottom of the five-color top is an ordinary house.

"Who built this house? Actually used the legendary glass. Obediently, if I had this good thing in my life, I would be reluctant to use it like this. ”

On an ordinary boat, everyone looked at the brighter and brighter the five-color top as they got closer, and sighed more and more, and when they arrived near Jincheng, they found that it was a beautiful building in Jincheng, and they got off the boat one after another, and entered Jincheng, which would not take a look at when passing by on weekdays.

"Brother, when we passed by in this golden city, there was nothing, but now it looks like it, not only has the dock been repaired to facilitate docking and sailing, but there are also some people in the city, and it is not so abrupt."

Qiao Jiayi and the boatman are also old acquaintances, so they dare to put the goods on the ship, and go to Jincheng with their eldest brother to watch the excitement.

Moreover, not only this merchant ship, outside the Jincheng wharf, more than a dozen ships docked, listening to the lock officer who commanded the ship, there are many ships to Jincheng every day to see the excitement.

Everyone walked leisurely on Jincheng Street, but the destination was the five-color top in the north of Jincheng.

"Big brother, it's here!"

The buildings of Jincheng are simple, they are all one-story houses, only the five-color top is dazzling and dazzling, and you can see it from afar.

Following the five-color top to the north city, a spacious and atmospheric building comes into view.

This building is lined up from east to west, which is incompatible with the local architecture of Jincheng, and looks indescribably spacious and atmospheric.

Moreover, this row of houses are full of tall doors and windows, but they are not white paper, but transparent objects of unknown nature, which makes the room very bright.

The two brothers approached the big house and became more and more amazed, "Brother, the house built by this thing is really bright, if our family presses this, then it is not rare to come to see this thing, Da and his mother will have to live a few more years when they see this thing, right?" ”

The Qiao brothers looked at it with hot eyes and muttered in a low voice.

"I just don't know how much it costs? Our capital is all on the goods, and I don't know if we can get a piece to go home. ”

Qiao Shengli had already calmed down from the impact of the five-color roof and glass, looked at the three-story building with the sign of "Jincheng Grocery Store", and said, "How much is it, just go in and ask." ”

As he spoke, he walked into the grocery store.

The main body of the grocery store is made of wood, but the floor on the first floor is paved with a single piece of bluestone, which is simple and atmospheric, and the doors and windows are made of transparent glass, which makes people feel clean, bright and atmospheric in the house.

The display of this grocery store is similar to the display they had in Gangnam, that is, behind the rows of wooden cabinets, there are all kinds of goods.

But the difference is that the wooden cabinet is attached to three walls, and behind each wall of the wooden cabinet, several smiling men stand to greet the people who enter the store.

The Qiao brothers looked over, their faces changed, and there were tea, salt and silk that they had transported from the south of the Yangtze River all the way on, as well as other Western Regions commodities such as gems, medicinal herbs, and furs.

"Man, how do you sell this tea?"

Qiao Jiayi couldn't bear his anger and asked first.

The guy was full of smiles, "Cheng Yi, ordinary tea is one or two ten, if you want to be good, there are Jiangnan famous tea and Qionglai fog tea here, the grade is different, and the price is different." ”

Qiao Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, the price of this tea is the seller on the market, and it is much more expensive than the price they purchased from Jiangnan, so they are not a trip in vain.

However, immediately after the man's words, the Qiao brothers became nervous again, "Of course, this is the retail price, if you want more, it can be cheaper." ”

The Qiao brothers glanced at each other, "What if we want a large amount?" ”

"Guest, the first floor of our grocery store is a retail business, and the second floor is a wholesale business, you can go up to the second floor to have a look."

The brothers went up to the second floor and entered the second floor, which was brighter than the first floor, and the various goods were clearly displayed.

"Shopkeeper, what do you say about this tea wholesale?"

"What kind of tea is the guest asking?"

"These kinds."

Qiao Jiayi pointed to the cheapest kinds of tea, and the shopkeeper looked back and casually quoted the price, "More than ten stones, this tea is one or two or six Wen." ”

If this grocery store was opened a period of time earlier, the two brothers could go from here to sell tea in the depths of Qilian Mountain, and they didn't have to go to Jiangnan in person.

There are some grocery stores, so this year there will inevitably be more people grabbing land with their brothers, and they want to do exclusive business, so they can't say that the two brothers have to go further.
