Every year in June, it is the spring silk season. The white silk was exchanged for silver, and the hard work finally saw hope. In this season, the sale of silk is also a large income for local farmers, and it is also the main source of local income.

On the road, there are constant pedestrians. Shoulder-picked, carried, a large number of silk is continuously sold to the silk line.

The price of Guangzhuang is not low: about seven cents of silver per two silks. Nanxun's large and small silk lines have prepared sufficient manpower and financial resources to collect silk. After paying enough tasks assigned by Jingzhuang, you can sell them to Guangzhuang to make money.

The business of 'Liu Shunheng Silk Line' is also very good. Liu Yong and his wife Yuhui also called a helper, and they were busy until sunset, and they were so busy that they couldn't even take care of eating. The purchased silk, according to the specifications, was packed separately, loaded into a rickshaw and sent to Guangzhuang to sell, Liu Yong pulled in front, and his wife Yuhui pushed in the back. Tired and sweating. You can also make a few bucks in a day.

Sometimes, Liu Yong asked his wife Yuhui to take a break. Yuhui smiled and said: Aren't you also very tired, if you want to make a little more money, how can you not work hard. Hee-hee.

Liu Yong smiled and said: I am a man, how can a woman be so tired?

Yuhui smiled and said: Men and women are not the same people. Hee-hee.

Who knew that the situation suddenly changed, Liu Yong and Yuhui pulled a cart full of silk, tired and sweating profusely and came to Guangmaoxing, which is the largest acquisition bank in Guangzhuang. The guy examined it carefully and prepared to write a ticket. Then he said: Liu Dongjia, now that the market is down, we can't go high, and the silver purchase price is six cents and seven silver per two spring silks.

Liu Yong was dumbfounded when he heard this, and hurriedly said to his wife Yuhui: Quick, quick, let's take a look at another one.

The three of them hurriedly ran a few in a row, and they didn't want all branches in Guangzhuang to have a unified caliber, without exception. It seems that this year, Guangzhuang is going to bargain for Nanxun Silk Line. Subsequently, Liu Yong angrily said to his wife Yuhui: Go home! Lao Tzu is no longer for sale. Turn around and pull up the car and walk back.

When they got home, the couple didn't eat, and sat there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

After a long time, his wife Yuhui got up and picked up the teapot, poured a sip of water and drank it, and then said: In this way, people have the final say, and the business cannot be done. Their silk is all sold in Shanghai, why don't we sell the silk ourselves?

Liu Yong said: Is it so easy to get to Shanghai? We don't have a lot of money, and we don't have a big merchant ship. The tide in the Huangpu River rises and falls, and it is no joke that the small wooden boat enters the Huangpu River. There is also the only way to Shanghai Luxu Sanbaidang, Luxu Sanbaidang is said to have three feet of waves without wind, how can the small wooden boat get by?

Liu Yong's mother also said with concern: It's a trivial matter not to make money, and Ah Hui is a female streamer, what if something happens? I'm not worried if you're going to Shanghai.

Yuhui said again: Instead of sitting and waiting to be killed, why not give it a go? Didn't you go from apprentice to boy back then? It worked then, but why not? If you don't have a big merchant ship to rent an agricultural ship or a shipping ship, if you want to make money, how can there be any risk? Let's try it, we can't let people cut off their ears next to their heads.

Liu Yong said: Your words also make sense, not bad! The way is made by men. Their practice of eating small fish with big fish makes people angry when they think about it, and Lao Tzu doesn't sell it to them even if he loses money.

So, Liu Yong plucked up his courage and decided to rent a boat and go to the beach.

The couple carried the lamp to the mooring place and ordered a boat.

Early the next morning, Liu Yong loaded all the silk onto the ship, and hired two more men, who took turns to shake the boat, and went to Shanghai day and night.

Along the way, the small wooden boat passed through the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and passed through Luxu Sanbaidang. Yu Hui smiled and said to Liu Yong: You see people say that there are three feet of waves in Luxu, how can there be such a high wave, this is completely scary.

Soon, the boat entered the Huangpu River. Liu Yong stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the banks of the river, his mood was very complicated, he couldn't predict what would happen to him when he arrived in Shanghai.

After three days and three nights, we finally arrived at Shanghai 16 shops. The ship squeezed into the shore through the cracks of the big steamer, and Liu Yong couldn't wait to go up to inquire about the price of silk.

Liu Yong saw the sign hanging at the door of the silk store, which read: Jili Silk buys 2 taels of silver every tael.

Liu Yong looked at it and was dumbfounded, thinking that he had made a mistake. So, he still asked the guys in the bank: What is the price of Iris today?

The man said: Is it written on the sign, the purchase price of Jirisi is 2 taels and 1 silver per tael.

A boatload of silk was simply sold.

His wife Yuhui smiled and carried a bag of white flowers and silver, laughed so much that her mouth couldn't close together, and said with a smile: It seems that this road is on the right track.

Liu Yong smiled and said: It's still my wife's idea.

Liu Yong said: In this way, I am "the first person to eat crabs". Go back and grab the acquisition, even if it's a little higher than others. Anyway, as long as there is a profit, it will do. Go back and forth once a week, so you can run dozens of times throughout the spring.

Liu Yong said: In that case, we will simply charter this ship for a long time. Go back and grab the acquisition, even if it's a little higher than others. Anyway, as long as there is a profit, it will do. Go back and forth once a week, so you can run dozens of times throughout the spring.

The couple discussed future arrangements along the way.

Liu Huanzhang was so happy that the old tears "Liu Shunheng Silk Shop" copper and wood workshop was closed, and he went to the silk shop to help his son. Liu Yongniang was even more happy, her son was so promising, she opened a silk line at a young age, and no one in the neighborhood praised her for her good fortune.

Good things come in pairs, and the Liu family has happy events.

Good things come in pairs, and the Liu family has happy events.

In the past few days, Yuhui has been a little tired all day, has no appetite and just wants to sleep, and feels nauseous and vomits after eating.

Liu Yong's mother was the one who came over, so she asked with concern: Ah Hui, my mother asked you, why haven't you come to make a leave for a long time?

Yuhui blushed and said embarrassedly: It's been two months.

Hearing this, Liu Yong's mother was overjoyed, and then said: Then you have to be careful, don't do manual work such as packing anymore.

Liu Yong's mother was still a little worried, and the next day she invited the famous local Ding Langzhong.

Ding Lang diagnosed Yu Hui's pulse and looked at Yu Hui's tongue coating. said: Congratulations, the young lady is happy.

When they heard that Yuhui was pregnant, Liu Yong's parents were really happy. They discussed, sold the paulownia shop, added the savings in Liu Yongniang's hand, and put it into a three-deep courtyard with a patio, there are six main houses, large and small, even if Yuhui has a few more, it is enough to live.

Yuhui's body is getting heavier, considering that her mother is not in good health, Liu Yong asked her mother and sister-in-law to take care of the family, and her sister-in-law fled from northern Jiangsu, and she has no fixed place to live in Nanxun. The couple had a stable place to go, and they were grateful.
