Chapter 88: A Hundred Two? You're robbing money!
Xiao Feng straightened up and hammered his waist.
"Yes, what I make is a candle, and it is a good and inexpensive lard candle, which is not much worse than the official butter candle!"
Niu Meng once saw butter candles used by the county order in the county office, the fire was vertical, and the light was dazzling, I don't know how much better it was than the oil lamp in their home!
"Such a big candle, if you go to the county to sell it, you can't sell it for a tael of silver?"
The reason why Niu Meng was so valued was not on a whim, after all, the candles he saw in the county magistrate's mansion were only two fingers thick, but the lard beads made by Xiao Feng were as thick as his forearms, at least one of the four butter candles on top, even if it couldn't sell the price of four butter candles, three would always be fine, right?
Hearing Niu Meng say that a lard candle can be sold for one or two silver, Niu De patted his head violently: "My pig brain, I knew that it could be sold so well, I should have bought all the lard from the butcher's house!" ”
Xiao Feng smiled and patted Niu Dehao's shoulder.
"Big Niu, candles are just the icing on the cake for our future fortune business, and the white jade soap and pine flower eggs are!"
Fang Cai Da Niu didn't treat Bai Yu Soap as a treasure so much, and now he learned that Bai Yu Soap was the main force for them to make money in the future, so he immediately ran back to the side of the Bai Yu Soap Pit, trying his best to drive away the nearby insects.
"It's pretty much the same for today. Big bull, Mengzi, you go back to rest early today, and let's set off tomorrow to go to Tailang. ”
Tailang is the upper city of Yanyang County, and it is the richest place within a radius of thousands of miles.
"To Tailang? Brother Feng, that's a road of more than 300 miles, just with this pony car? ”
Xiao Feng didn't know that the conditions were limited now, but what could he do, now the construction of the village could not be delayed, and most of his funds were supporting the business of bamboo rats and mosquito coils, and he would not be able to rent a sturdy carriage for a while.
"It doesn't matter, as long as it can send us to Tailang, and then we will naturally have a lot of silver to buy a better carriage."
Niu Dehao and Niu Meng left one after another after taking a reassuring pill, Xiao Feng looked at the goods drying in the yard and secretly clenched his fists.
Wealth and glory begin here!
Lin Shuiyao learned that Xiao Feng's trip would take at least half a month, so she personally cooked a lot of dry food for Xiao Feng, but she was afraid that he would be hungry on the road.
Early the next morning, Niu Dehao and Niu Meng came to the gate of Xiao Mansion on time.
"Be good, wait for me to come back at home, and then buy you the best silk from Tailang to make clothes!"
Lin Shuiyao's eyes were full of tears.
"Husband, the slave family doesn't need good clothes, as long as you come back safely!"
After saying goodbye to Lin Shuiyao, Xiao Feng and the three of them embarked on the road to Tailang.
Although the journey was long, fortunately, a few people took the official road without any accidents, and the white jade soap and lard candles in their pockets were also very well preserved.
As soon as he entered the city, Xiao Feng began to look around.
"This old brother, the younger brother has just arrived, may I ask where the princes and nobles of this Tailang like to go?"
Not surprisingly, Xiao Feng got very different answers from several passers-by. It's not a Fengyue place like Yihongyuan, it's a place to have fun in gambling houses, wine shops, etc.
"Big brother, what do you ask these places for?"
Niu Dehao originally thought that the place where Xiao Feng should go with candles and white jade soap was the Tailang Shipping Division, because the shipping of Dachu and the merchants were inseparable, and many ministers and nobles asked the compradors of the shipping office to help them buy all the scarce materials.
If Xiao Feng wanted to sell things to the nobles, why didn't he go to the shipping department?
Xiao Feng pretended to smile mysteriously, and didn't explain to them, just asked them to prepare a big red cloth, and then let them sleep well, saying that it was to prepare for the hard work at night.
But at this time, the two of them were thinking about what kind of medicine was sold in Xiao Feng's gourd, and they couldn't sleep at all, so they could only look at each other until Xiao Feng woke up.
Xiao Feng had just opened his eyes, and Niu Meng couldn't wait to come over.
"Brother Feng, it's dark this day, so there are still people out to buy? Can we still sell our stuff? ”
Xiao Feng remained mysterious, and took them around to a place.
"Yihongyuan!"
Niu Dehao looked up, and suddenly blushed, he hadn't married yet.
"Brother Feng, the things haven't been sold. Besides, my dad said that we can't go to this kind of place......"
Xiao Feng glanced at him and spread the big red cloth not far from the opposite side of Yihong Courtyard.
"Those from the south, those from the north, those from Yanyang County, those from Tailang, take a look, take a look! White jade soap from the Western Regions arrives on a first-come, first-served basis! ”
While shouting, Xiao Feng put many white jade soaps in front of him one by one, and then lit more than ten candles behind them, and in an instant, several people became the brightest boys on the street!
"Why is it so bright over there?"
"White jade soap in the Western Regions? Haruka must like it, and this son must go and see it. ”
A few people dressed as sons and brothers took the lead in front of Xiao Feng's stall.
"Shopkeeper, what are you doing with this Western Regions white jade soap and how do you sell it?"
Xiao Feng looked the visitor up and down, then cut a small piece of broken white jade soap and handed it over.
"Childe, please look, my white jade soap is as soft as clotted fat, if a woman washes her face with this thing every morning and evening, it will not take half a month, her skin will become extremely white, she can be broken by blowing, and her lips and cheeks will be fragrant!"
Brother Gongzi rubbed the white jade soap a few times, put it under his nose and smelled it.
"There is indeed a strange fragrance, how much silver."
Xiao Feng stretched out a finger.
"Tong Suo is not bullied, one hundred taels!"
Niu Dehao and Niu Meng were stunned, no matter what, they didn't expect Xiao Feng to quote such an outrageous price.
One hundred taels of silver, enough for the expenses of the entire family of ordinary people in Tailang for a few years, and he really dared to call it.
However, what they never expected was that the three son-like people bought it without even thinking about it. And after the money was cleared, he turned around and rushed into Yihong Courtyard.
Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Xiao Feng immediately asked Niu Dehao and Niu Meng to receive all the white jade soap in the baggage behind them into the carriage, leaving only three pieces of soap to lie on the huge red cloth.
As soon as the two got out of the car, they saw more than a dozen men of all kinds rushing out of Yihong Courtyard, vying to come to Xiao Feng's stall, wanting to buy the last three pieces of white jade soap.
Xiao Feng didn't embarrass them anymore, it was still one hundred taels a piece, first come, first served.
The person who bought it returned to Yihong Courtyard proudly, and the person who didn't buy it was naturally unwilling, and surrounded Xiao Feng and begged him to sell a piece to himself.
In order to get out as soon as possible, Xiao Feng could only lie that he only asked for five yuan when he was in the Western Regions, and if everyone still wanted it, he would definitely arrange a caravan to go to the Western Regions as soon as possible and transport the white jade soap to Tailang in the shortest possible time.
Everyone left in a huff, and Xiao Feng and his party also packed up and found a place where no one was to rest.
"Big brother, why is this white jade soap so easy to sell? It can be sold for 100 taels a piece! ”
"Brother Feng, where are we going to sell it tomorrow? And those candles, should we sell them in another place? ”
The two brothers were thinking about a bright future and were happy, but Xiao Feng's next answer was like a basin of cold water pouring them cold.
