Chapter 43: The First Pot of Gold
Shopkeeper Li listened to Jing Tian's words and nodded with a smile.
"I understand," shopkeeper Li said, "I will inform you about this matter, it is really not easy to see a few of your children......" The situation of the Jing family, he has also been inquired about in the past few days. After all, the two sides signed a contract and will cooperate for a long time in the future. Lian Ji is a big businessman, and for the sake of reputation, he also has to know more about the supplier.
Jing Tian also heard this meaning, but he didn't have any objections. Their situation is there, and there is nothing unpleasant to see, and they are not afraid to inquire about it. And Lian Ji inquired about their family's situation out of business prudence, and it was also a frank attitude to find out that he didn't hide it from her. Therefore, Jing Tian appreciated this "big money" on his side more and more.
Chen Liang heard Shopkeeper Li's words, but his eyes were fixed.
That night, he noticed that someone was following them, and then he made a secret note and arranged for Chen Xiaowei to track them down. found that the person who followed them that night was the young man who greeted them at the door of Tongsheng Lou. It's just that in the next few days, the sixth son was in Tongsheng Building as usual to greet the man, so he didn't delve into it, but just arranged for people to pay attention to it.
A few more people chatted a few more words, and Liu came in from outside.
“…… 60 catties of dried fungus, 30 catties of brain platinum, 50 catties of dried mushrooms of various colors, including 5 catties of Zhenji, and 20 catties of fresh oyster mushrooms......" Chen said, "According to the price negotiated before, it is a total of 13 yuan and 790 yuan." ”
Shopkeeper Li nodded and looked at Jing Tian, as if to ask for her opinion. Although Chen Liang and Li An both looked older, he could see that Jing Tian was the one in charge of these people.
The weight and price of the goods delivered Jing Tian had calculated before departure, and the score was exactly the same, so she naturally had no objections.
"The thirteen pieces have to be exchanged for broken silver." Jing Tian said. If it is more than 10,000 copper coins, it is not light, the key is that the copper coins are heavy and large, which does not meet her demand for making a fortune in a muffled voice.
"Yes." Shopkeeper Li happily agreed and asked Liu to withdraw the money.
Liu Shufang quickly took out a money bag and came back, more than 700 copper coins were threaded into eight strings with straw rope, and then there were 14 silver nuggets, one of which was slightly smaller, and the other 13 were of average size, which should be one or two.
"What is this?" Jing Tian asked, pointing to the smaller piece of silver.
"Our Datang is short of copper, and copper is expensive and silver is cheap," Chen replied, "It is said that a thousand dollars can be used as a tael of silver, but in fact, a tael of silver can usually only be used as about 950 yuan." and thou shalt exchange it for silver, thirteen taels and seven cents of silver. ”
Jing Tian listened, nodded with a smile, and said, "We, children from poor families, don't have a chance to use silver, but it makes you laugh." "The previous judgment was correct, this Lian Ji is really a good business, and Tong Su is not deceived.
Shopkeeper Li and Accountant Liu both smiled and said that it was not in the way, and the atmosphere became more peaceful and friendly for a while.
The two families had agreed to divide the account fifty-fifty before, so when they were in the backyard, Jing Tian wanted to give the eldest cousin's silver to the eldest cousin, but he was stunned and didn't accept it, so she had to put all the silver in her pocket and give each of them a string of copper coins, so that they could buy some things they wanted at the market later.
From Lian Ji, several people looked at each other and smiled. Especially Ang Lee and Li Le, the first time they saw so much money, it was the money they earned from their own labor. Fang was in Lianji, in front of outsiders, everyone was tense, and now there were only their own people left, so they couldn't bear it anymore.
"We're rich!" Li Jiajilang smirked non-stop.
Jing Tian also smiled and nodded. The money had to be saved first, and she had some ideas, and she needed some start-up capital to implement them.
Excluding the pocket money for the two cousins, Jing Tian still had five hundred and ninety wen left in his hand. She plans to buy a stone of finely ground millet, which will cost about 100 Wen; Pull another 80 feet of cheesecloth to make a new dress for everyone, which requires 240 Wen; The rest of the money Jingtian planned to buy another 10 chicks, and on the way she came, she heard someone shouting, saying that 10 chickens only cost 50 yuan; Then buy some meat......
Jing Tian was thinking about it with great interest, and was about to set off to start shopping, but found that she Da Anzi and Xiao Er were still by her side, and they didn't take the money to go to the market.
"Big cousin, didn't you say that we would meet in the old Qian's stall in half an hour? Why didn't you two go shopping? Jing Tian asked.
Da Anzi touched his head and smiled. Erlang said, "Sister, we don't know what to buy when we think about it?" Seeing the two of them embarrassed, Jing Tian knew it in his heart. On the way here, the two said a lot of things they wanted to buy, but they were all people who were used to saving, and they really wanted them to buy things, so they were reluctant, feeling that this was not necessary, and that was not necessary.
"In the future, we can make more money!" Jing Tian smiled and patted the small money bag on his waist, "How can you two not spend money?" I saved all the money, and I only spent these copper coins. ”
Hearing Jing Tian talk about the silver, the two brothers loosened up a little, but they still couldn't figure it out, so Jing Tian asked them to follow him and Chen Liang around.
A few people ripped the cloth and happily picked out ten chicks, and Jing Tian also asked his eldest cousin to buy a bamboo hairpin for his aunt and a headscarf for Grandma Jing. She herself bought colorful head ropes for Sister Ran and Xiao Wu, and bought a large bag of caramel candy.
After turning around in the market for most of the time, Jing Tian realized that although there were people raising pigs at this time, few people ate pork. The nobles disliked pork with a fishy smell, and it was the lowest meat below dog meat. Only untouchables eat it. It turned out that at this time, people didn't know that pigs had to be castrated before eating pork, and Jing Tian found that he seemed to have another way to get rich.
In the end, Jing Tian bought three river groups at a fish stall, this kind of fish Jing Tian liked very much in his previous life, the meat was delicious and delicate, and it cost nearly 100 soft girl coins per catty, but he didn't expect that there were three Jiang Tuan with a total of more than 6 catties here, as long as 100 yuan. Jing Tian, who consciously took a big advantage, has been happy since he bought the fish.
She didn't notice that Chen Liang, who was walking at the back, had a strange face.
Fang Cai and Sheng Lou's young man Liuzi sneakily walked through the flow of people, Chen Liang took advantage of the unpreparedness, pushed a pedestrian and collided with him, the young man ran away as if he was frightened, and a few white mushrooms fell from his arms. Chen Liang wrapped it in a leaf, he remembered that day in Tongsheng Building, the shopkeeper Guo said that it was just a poisonous mushroom that grew by chance in the backyard, and it had all been thrown away. But why is this young man who has stalked him in his arms? And when he mentioned this mushroom that day, why did Shopkeeper Guo stare at him?
