Chapter 77 Understanding the Market

"Mother, is it a bit of a coincidence that they met us?"

When Lee Seung-mu talks about the encounter here, he means the last time he met on the road.

Xia Jing glanced at him and smiled, "Yes, this is all for you to see." ”

Li Chengmu fried his hair, "They really have a problem?!" ”

"What happened to them should be true, we may have a calculation in it, but the purpose of their Mu family is probably to follow us to live in Lingnan."

"So they're fine." Li Chengmu scratched his head, is this a problem or a problem?

"If there's a real problem, leave it to time to verify, as long as they don't threaten our safety now."

Since the mother concubine said so, Li Chengmu did not dwell on this matter.

When she arrived at the warehouse, Xia Jing was led by the shopkeeper to take a turn around the warehouse, and she was surprised to find that the warehouses of this era were similar to the wholesalers or supermarkets of later generations.

There are all kinds of goods in the warehouse, and the goods from the north and south seem to be concentrated here.

Xia Jing saw black fungus and white fungus on the shelves, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell black fungus and white fungus?" ”

"Haha, Madame, have a good eye." The shopkeeper didn't know Xia Jing's true identity, he pointed to another slightly smaller fungus and said, "This is picked from our local mountain, two hundred wen a catty." You just saw that it was transported from the north, and it cost half a pound of silver, you look at the quality, thick and large, and the stewed soup and cooked vegetables are delicious. Tremella is even more expensive, like this kind of tremella is not considered the best, it costs five taels of silver a catty. ”

"That's too expensive, isn't it?" Ding Dazhuang gasped, this catty of white fungus silver was enough for a year's living expenses for their poor family.

"Rare things are expensive, these are mountain treasures, it depends on luck to pick them, how can it not be expensive?"

As he spoke, the shopkeeper laughed heartily.

He patted Ding Dazhuang's shoulder, "Boy, I've always heard of mountain delicacies and sea delicacies, I also have dry goods here, but it is higher than the price of mountain delicacies, and the old decay has not yet introduced it to you, which scares you?"

"Shopkeeper, do you have the best white fungus here?"

Xia Jing mainly wants to see what the best white fungus looks like? How is it different from the white fungus on the shelf?

The shopkeeper was like a duck choked by the neck, and the rough laughter came to an abrupt end.

"Old. There is no top-quality white fungus here. ”

"Haha, shopkeeper, you don't have anything here to brag about here, so that our master is interested in you don't, it's really a disappointment!"

This time, Ding Dazhuang patted the shopkeeper's shoulder.

Xia Jing shook her head regretfully: "Forget it if you don't have it, I'll go and see the leather goods again." ”

The shopkeeper smiled apologetically at everyone: "Madame, please." ”

Wu Yuli's mother and daughter, who were standing in the back, didn't say a word the whole time, and saw them go to the backyard at this time.

Mu Guangzhen couldn't help but speak, "Mother, isn't she a princess, the royal family has a big business, what do you want, do you need to come out to buy it in person?" ”

Wu Yuli wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief and shook her head: "You know that I haven't seen her for many years, and now I don't know her personality a little." As for why she came to buy it herself, I don't know. ”

Mu Guangzhen was so hot that she couldn't help complaining, "In a small family like us, everything that is lacking at home is in charge of purchasing." Why did their palace still let the princess come out to buy? I really don't understand the thoughts of these royal relatives! ”

"Zhen'er, we are humble, it's better to see more and talk less, so as not to let their people listen."

Wu Yuli pulled off her daughter's sleeve, after all, gossip is easy to offend people, and their family has to rely on the palace to cover it more.

Xia Jing went to the backyard warehouse to look at the leather goods in the inventory, the quality was good, and the best fur was less. This does not affect the purchase from him, after all, there are still a few people who consume luxury goods.

The other goods were also checked, and Xia Jing was very satisfied with the quality in the warehouse.

Next, the order, the silver money, and the handover of the goods will be handled by Ding Dazhuang and several people.

Xia Jing whispered to him: "The quality of the goods in the back warehouse is good, when loading, you have to pay attention to whether the quality of the goods loaded into the car is the same quality as the back warehouse." ”

Ding Dazhuang nodded solemnly, "Please rest assured, my subordinates will pay attention to this." ”

Xia Jing is still more at ease with Ding Dazhuang, this kid is a bold and careful, don't look at him usually acting arrogantly, he really does the right thing, it's quite reliable.

Because of Wu's mother and daughter, Xia Jing didn't let Li Chengmu go shopping with her when she came out of the store.

Passing by the oil paper shop, Xia Jing went in to buy a lot of oil paper, and saw that there were still oil paper umbrellas in the store, so she bought a few by the way, one for her, Hongmei and Wu's mother and daughter.

Shopping with an umbrella is a lot cooler.

Since Wu Yuli gave birth to a child, her health is not good, she is afraid of cold in winter and heat in summer.

She didn't walk long after her, and even though she had an umbrella to shade her, she was still so hot that sweat kept coming out.

After finishing the business, Xia Jing is shopping now mainly to explore Jiangxia's special food.

Passing by a teahouse, I turned around and walked in with everyone.

Sitting on the second floor, Wu Yuli wiped the thin sweat on her forehead, and asked with a smile: "Today I thought that the princess was purely out to go shopping, but I didn't expect it to come out to procure, why did the palace still let you come out to take care of such a trivial matter, isn't it the steward's responsibility?" ”

Xia Jing explained: "The palace does have a manager to procure, but today's matter is not the palace's business, it is my own private matter." ”

"You are a princess doing the work of a housekeeper, and the prince has no opinion on you?"

Wu Yuli couldn't understand Xia Jing's approach, women should revolve around men, especially powerful men like Wang Ye.

As long as the mother is not careful, maybe the man's heart will be taken away by the fox spirit, and then it will be a watermelon and a sesame seed!

Xia Jing didn't know what Wu Yuli was thinking, and she just laughed at her question.

Even if it is a husband and wife in name only, she doesn't want to share her husband and wife relationship with others.

From the beginning when Wu Yuli planned to flee to Lingnan, she had learned about the palace from the side.

She knew that there were two aunts in the palace who were older than Xia Jing's qualifications, and both of them gave birth to concubines for the prince.

Xia Jing is young and beautiful, she really wants to compete with two aunts for favor, and those two old and yellow aunts will definitely not be able to compete with her.

It's just that after a few contacts, she found that Xia Jing's mentality is very peaceful, and this mentality is really difficult to survive in a high-ranking family.

But looking at Xia Jing's attitude, although they are good friends, she doesn't know how to persuade them?

Xiao Er came in with tea and snacks, and Xia Jing found that in addition to dried fruits, there were cakes in the teahouse.

Cakes with various fillings, including salted meat, caramel and nuts.

I want to have more tricks, but it's gone!

Dried fruits are simply dried and fried. The other tricks are also absent.

From this, Xia Jing seems to see a business opportunity.

Of course, these business opportunities will not have time to be pondered until they arrive in Lingnan.
