When Su Ying arrived at the tiger camp, Huwei and the others had already prepared all the carts and horses, because all the carts had pulled charcoal, so they could only ride horses.

Su Ying looked at Huwei who turned over and got on the horse, "The injuries on your body are healed?" ”

Hu Wei smiled proudly: "It's been so long, it's been good a long time, don't worry, Mrs. Su, I have a hard fist now." ”

Su Ying was full of anger when he heard what he said, and his internal injuries should be almost healed.

"Let's go while it's still early." Su Ying said and turned over on his horse.

"Big brother, I'll go with you." Qiao Yang also rode over on horseback.

Hu Wei glared at him, "You are honestly guarding the camp, if anything goes wrong in the camp when I come back, I will only ask you." ”

Qiao Yang's face was lost, and he looked at Su Ying sadly, but Su Ying had already driven his horse to the front.

Qiao Yang could only wave at them, "You must come back early."

The place where the tiger camp was located was not far from the exit of the Northern Wasteland, and if they were fast, they should be able to reach the outside of the Chu State in the afternoon.

Hu Wei drove his horse in front of the team, and Su Ying followed at the end of the team, I don't know how long they walked, they finally came out of the Northern Wasteland.

Outside the Northern Wasteland, it was desolate as far as the eye could see, as if that door separated the two worlds.

Su Ying looked around, this was the first time she had left since entering the Northern Wasteland.

After coming out, Su Ying could feel that the wind and sand outside were blowing so much that her face hurt, maybe the northern wasteland was surrounded by mountains, intercepting the north wind outside, and the wind was weakened.

Near noon, they finally saw the border gate of the Chu State.

"Park the line on the side, I'll go to the gate to see if anyone is coming." After Hu Wei explained to the people around him, he ran towards the pass with a clip on the horse's belly.

Su Ying asked them to pull the car to an inconspicuous place to stop, she saw from a distance, there were not many people waiting outside the Chu State Pass to do business, she asked the guards to take care of the goods, and she drove her horse towards the vendors who had set up mobile stalls outside the pass.

"Pancakes, freshly found pancakes, you can eat a full stomach with only two copper plates."

"Rouge, good-looking rouge, little lady, do you want to bring some rouge back? My rouge is notoriously good, and I don't know how many people in the customs came out to buy me a box of rouge. ”

Su Ying looked at the rouge box in the vendor's hand, shook his head, and continued to walk forward.

The mobile stalls are very long, and many people come to sell goods by carts, not to mention, there are many people selling things here, not to mention everything, but some daily necessities can still be bought.

Su Ying walked to the front and found someone selling charcoal, she walked to the stall and asked, "How do you sell this charcoal?" ”

The peddler saw that someone was asking, and hurriedly greeted him warmly, "The little lady wants to buy charcoal, this one is a hundred copper plates, if you want more, I can be cheaper." ”

Su Ying saw that his charcoal was also tied into the shape of a cylinder, but the volume was smaller, and the color of the charcoal was not so good, "I'll take a look."

Further on, she met two more people who also sold charcoal, and the price she asked about was about the same as the first one, and the better ones would be more expensive.

Su Ying turned around and left the hawker stall, and saw Hu Wei walking in the direction of the line with a middle-aged man.

"We burned a lot of charcoal a few days ago, and you can see if you can collect it." Hu Wei's words to the middle-aged man.

The man walked to the car to check the condition of the charcoal, and after looking at it several times, there was no change in his expression, making it impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

After reading it, the man took out a sweat towel and wiped his hands, "This charcoal is not good." ”

Hu Wei frowned, "It's not okay to be in this condition?" ”

The man sighed, "The rich and noble people want all the best silver charcoal, you can't sell it, but I also know your situation, it's not easy to come out, so let's do it, I'll give you half a cart of silver for these charcoals, and I'll accept them if you want to sell them." ”

Half a penny for a cart, he dared to think about it!

There are twenty or thirty bags of this car, and according to the price she asked about just now, a car needs at least two or three taels of silver to buy a car, which is really cheap enough.

"Since we can't sell it for the price, then we won't embarrass Brother Tong." Of course, Huwei knew that the man was deliberately lowering the price, and he was unwilling to sell it at such a low price.

The man is not in a hurry, he knows that they are short of food every year when they come to this level Huwei, and they only have him in this part of the Chu State, if he doesn't help, it will be more troublesome for them to buy it elsewhere, and every time this time, he can take the opportunity to earn more money from them.

"I know the price is not high, but I can't help charcoal is not something that everyone can afford, the market is narrow, don't you know, before the Chu State and the Southern Kingdom almost fought, the price of grain on the border went up all of a sudden, before five copper plates could buy a pound of brown rice, but now it takes ten copper plates to buy, and it has directly doubled."

Hu Wei's eyebrows twisted deeper, "More or less?" ”

The man shook his head in embarrassment, "If I hadn't stocked up on the goods before, I wouldn't necessarily have the goods for you now, and I would only have a total of 1,000 quintals left, if you don't want it, it is estimated that there will be no more in two days." ”

Of course Huwei wants to, but the price has doubled so much at once, and he is a little painful, after all, it is not easy for them to get some silver.

"How much is a pound of white rice?" Su Ying asked.

The man gestured with two fingers, "Twenty copper plates." ”

Twenty copper plates are a catty, one load is two taels of silver, and a thousand taels is two thousand taels, which is more than two times more than what she bought before.

Originally, the money in their hands was limited, and Su Ying didn't want to spend so much more money.

The man saw that they were hesitant, so he made a ruthless move, "Otherwise, you can discuss it again, I also made an appointment with other people today, and they also said that they wanted to buy food, let's discuss it as soon as possible, otherwise if someone orders me over there, there won't be so many goods in my hand." ”

"This ......"

"Okay, I'm tired." Su Ying stopped Hu Weidao, who wanted to speak.

The man glanced at Su Ying, nodded, and sure enough, he turned around and went back to the city.

Hu Wei was a little anxious when he saw the people leaving, "Mrs. Su doesn't plan to do business with him?" We are still on his way in the Chu Kingdom, and if we don't have it, we won't be able to buy what we want here. ”

"Don't worry, there will be no large-scale disaster in Chu this year, and the price of food will not rise for no reason, and the matter of fighting is even more ridiculous, there will be a war, and so many people can run outside the customs, and that person clearly wants to sit on the ground and raise the price."

"Then, if we don't buy from him, who are we going to buy from?"
