Lou Wen, a teenager who doesn't know how much milk a cow produces every day,
From then on, he will be ridiculed by his brother.
Chapter 154: Hide and Seek
After teasing their younger brother, Lu Xu and Lu Xuan divided the things they brought back into several categories.
In their grocery store, they sold mainly dried meat and some dry goods, as well as wine that they had made a special trip to buy when they returned; Food shops and dessert shops are mainly dairy products and some dried vegetables and dried fruits; The raw materials available in the garment shop are some sheepskins of better quality, as well as other furs and furs, which are not in large quantities, but the unit price is more expensive, Lu Xu plans to leave some wool collars and other things to add to winter clothes; The rest of the leathers, mainly sheepskins, are sold to large merchants.
In addition, there are medicinal materials, these Lu Xu plans to find a few medicine shops and big merchant ships going south to ask, Guanyang can't digest it, he can sell it to the south or the state capital.
In addition to these, all that remained was the raw materials for the "works of art" to be sold separately - various animal bones and horns, and some of the pink stones that Su He sold for him.
Lu Xu planned to find someone to make bone carvings to see if he could make some small ornaments, or make a pen holder, pen holder, fan, small screen or something, Guanyang did not have such a craftsman, so he could only sell it elsewhere.
Anyway, these were basically given to him by Su Hebai, or turned out of the tent fur in the barracks, which is about equal to zero cost.
Horns are more expensive than bones, especially in the southern states and counties, where the population is dense, wild animals are drilled in the deep mountains, it is difficult to hunt, such a large antlers, horns are very rare.
Lu Xu planned to clean up these things, clean them up, and find a rich southern businessman to sell them at a high price as luxury goods.
The most confusing thing for him was the stones.
Most of these stones are pink, some are very red, some are pink, and some are orange-yellow. But it doesn't seem to be an agate gemstone.
Su He said that it was produced in the mountains of the north, and that before the war, there were Daqi people who specially asked them to buy it, and he didn't know what they bought it for.
Now that the trade route has been cut off for many years, the Lunlan people have moved from the west to the north of Shuozhou, and the Daqi merchants who had been in contact with them have long been nowhere to be found. Their tribe has stored a lot of these stones, which cannot be eaten or drunk, and if they cannot be sold, they will be no different from the stones on the roadside.
The barbarian girls can use some of the jewelry, but they prefer harder and brighter gems and animal bones and teeth to make jewelry, and this stone cannot be consumed.
The people of Lunlan also tried to sell it to Tan Shi, but although Tan Shi was called a stone, he didn't like it at all, so he shook his head like a rattle and asked them to take some good things, such as cattle, sheep, and meat...... Don't pick up some broken rocks to fool him.
This time Lu Xu went, Su He simply sold a batch to Lu Xu with dried meat or something, and asked him to go back to Daqi to sell and sell.
There is a specialization in the art industry, on eating, Lu Xu is very good, and when it comes to looking at stones, Lu Xu is also very blind.
He only knew jade, jade, rubies, sapphires, crystals, diamonds, and nothing else.
In his impression, the gem seemed to be as transparent and bright as possible, but when he took a piece and looked at it, it was not transparent.
He washed it, buttoned it, and knocked it with a small hammer, thinking that this thing could probably be used for carving.
Su He swore that this thing was very valuable, but Lu Xu really didn't know if this thing was worth anything.
Anyway, it's just half a car, Lu Xu simply resells it as a raw material for handicrafts, and if no one pays a high price, he won't buy it next time.
Divided into categories, Lu Xu picked out the samples, and prepared to make an appointment to see the goods tomorrow.
After the things to be sold were divided, Lu Xu and Lu Xuan discussed that they had to hurry up and buy food.
"Grain?"
"Well, I owe fifty truckloads of grain to the Northern Army, and Brother Hu and them, Dengzhou County, the tea shed along the way......" Lu Xu pondered, everyone was a little confused, he owed a lot of food!
"We need to hurry, it's snowing in October, and I want to get there before it snows, six or seven days at most. How much is this year's autumn grain? Didn't have a bad harvest, right? Lu Xu asked, and found that Lu Xuan and Lu Wen's expressions were a little subtle.
He was dazed: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing," Lu Xuan calmed down, "It's just that after you left, Yan Junqi asked me to continue to collect grain." ”
Lu Xu: ???
Lu Wen: "The autumn grain in our village is basically collected by our family. ”
Lu Xu "...... Yes? ”
Lu Xu was stunned for a long time, and said in surprise: "How did Jun Qi know that I was going to buy grain?" Forget it, it doesn't matter! He's the smartest, how much did you take?! ”
Not smart Lu Wen and Lu Xuan: "......"
Lu Xuan: "With such a big warehouse, there are probably two warehouses in the county." ”
Lu Wen: "There are quite a lot in the village, my family, the fourth uncle's house, your family, and the second uncle's newly built house, all of which are full. ”
The two of them spoke, but they were not at all happy.
They don't have any opinions on collecting grain, what his family mainly does is to eat and sell, and the food shop consumes a lot of food every day, but Yan Junqi has to collect so much, Lu Wen and Lu Xuan have opinions.
The business of the Guanyang Alliance is booming, and Lu Wen and Lu Xuan both want to buy a few more shops to expand their scale, especially Lu Wen, who has long been interested in the front of the restaurant, which was originally the big store of the gambling house, and he is waiting for Lu Xu to come back and open a restaurant to sell mutton pots.
But Yan Junqi said that they were understaffed and should not buy any more shops.
Lu Wen thought about it, if you don't buy it, you won't buy it, and it's okay to save money to pay off Lu Xu's debts.
Who would have thought that Yan Junqi wouldn't let them save money, not only did they not save it, but they also bought all the money for food.
Lu Wen is so angry.
Nearly half of the summer grain collected by the eldest brother has not been transported, and usually the villages exchange grain for groceries, and they have been collecting it, and he is worried that so much grain will make trouble, but Yan Junqi, during the autumn harvest, he rented two large warehouses, and even had to harvest autumn grain again.
Their family has so many fields and so much grain, Lu Hui wants to sell it out, and Yan Junqi even has to collect it from outside.
Their family always said that the eldest brother was fighting too much, and he looked at Yan Junqi about the same!
Although Lu Xu said that everything was left to Yan Junqi when he left, the brothers of the Lu family did not do it, and they talked with Yan Junqi for a long time, and finally the two sides compromised and only collected grain in their village in the autumn.
They waited for the eldest brother to come back and found that the grain was not used up, and they had to resell the grain to other grain merchants.
It shouldn't be possible to pay for it, with Lu Xu's connections in Guanyang, it's still easy to find a few grain merchants to help share it, but it probably won't make money in this way.
Lu Wen is waiting to see how Yan Junqi ends, he has already made up for it many times, and the eldest brother said to Yan Junqi, "You should listen to Lu Wen's shop."
He never expected that his eldest brother was much more powerful than he imagined, and he owed a lot of food debts when he went out!
What else can Lu Wen say, a thousand words in one sentence: absolutely!
Lu Wen couldn't help but complain: "Big brother, did you discuss it with Yan Shulang before you left?" ”
Lu Xu: "No! ”
Before leaving, he only planned to send food to Qiu Hu, and sell the excess on the way.
The grain he brought was enough for the people of Qiu Hu's village to eat in a year, otherwise he would not have sold twenty truckloads of grain to Dengzhou at the beginning.
How did he know that he would sell here and there along the way, and finally meet Cao Senjun to grab grain from the camp?
Isn't this a step-by-step look? Lu Xu scratched his head and sighed even more: "Jun Qi is so smart! ”
Lu Wen turned his head to look at Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan was also looking at him, his speechless expressions were very similar, Lu Wen wanted to roll his eyes at Lu Xu, and said in his heart What are he and Lu Xuan, Yan Junqi is his Lu Xu's brother!
Look at people, how thoroughly he sees his eldest brother!
Lu Xu was overjoyed, and took Lu Wen to two warehouses in the county to look at the grain.
Lu Xu looked at the warehouse full of grain, full of shock, "Jun Qi is too capable, no, I have to pick him up from school!" ”
Lu Wen: "......"
Lu Xu ran away with Lu Rui in his arms, and did not forget to call Lu Wen: "Remember to feed the cattle, the forage is not enough for Lu Hui to send some to the county, and if you have to leave in a few days, the cattle will not be transported to the village." ”
Lu Wen was impatient: "I know, I know, the second uncle has already arranged it, and I expect your cattle to starve to death." ”
Lu Xu was automatically immune to all trash talk, and carried his younger brother Huanhuan to pick up Yan Junqi and Lu Zhou from school.
He couldn't be more familiar with the road to the county academy, and even Lu Rui knew to go to Xiao Xia Hanlu's dessert shop first when he arrived on this street, but today the two of them were thinking about new food at home, and they didn't open for the time being.
The ready-to-wear shop on the opposite side didn't open the door, Lu Xu leaned on the door and looked inside, looking through the crack in the door, it seemed that there were a lot more things inside than the original.
Before the county school got out of class, Lu Xu was waiting at the door with Lu Rui in his arms, and he heard the sound of reading aloud inside half of the courtyard, and the voice was soft and cute, it should be a child from Mengxue.
The porter knew Lu Xu and took a bench for him to sit on, and the time was almost up, Lu Xu didn't sit down, chatting with the porter outside the academy.
I heard that several students from the county school went to the state government examination institute this year, and the results have not yet come out, and many children have taken the exam, the little fat man Miao Hongyin was admitted, and his family Lu Zhou did not go to the exam, and the county school recruited a new batch of students in the autumn, and Mengxue expanded a class, and the county order came to the academy a few days ago to encourage these new students......
Lu Xu listened quietly, and from time to time he said a few words, and Lu Rui leaned on his shoulder and continued to nibble on the beef strip.
Standing outside the academy for a while, the hurried heart calmed down.
Lu Xu even remembered the boring time when he couldn't understand the class when he was in school, lying by the window in a daze.
The silence didn't last long, and the sedan chairs and people who came to pick up the children gathered over, and Lu Xu still recognized a few parents inside.
After chatting for a few words, the academy was out of school, and the children who had been educated ran out of the school, and there was a commotion again.
Lu Xu raised Lu Rui high, "Rui Rui, you shout when you see your brother." ”
Lu Rui grabbed his head, let out a loud "um", and looked into the pile of people with big eyes.
Lu Zhou went out and was about to go to the inner courtyard to find Yan Junqi, when he suddenly heard a loud voice, "Zhouzhou!" ”
He followed the sound to look at the gate of the academy, and saw Lu Rui stepping on his brother's shoulder, standing high and shouting at him.
The children in the two Mongolian classes in the front yard all looked up at each other.
Seeing that Lu Zhou didn't agree, Lu Rui brewed and shouted loudly, "Zhouzhou!" ”
Nearby parents burst into laughter.
Lu Xu: "Okay, okay, your brother Zhouzhou heard it." ”
Lu Zhou ran out with a red face, "Brother." ”
Lu Rui: "Rui Rui! ”
Lu Zhou: "Well, Ruirui. ”
Lu Rui laughed a few times and patted Lu Xu, wanting to come down to play.
After school, the academy is allowed to visit, they can enter the academy, Lu Zhou led Lu Rui in to play a few times, Lu Rui remembered, he led Lu Zhou to go in to play.
Lu Xu said to the porter, and hurriedly followed, playing hide and seek with the little ancestor.
There is a shrub planted in the garden of the academy, and there is a rockery, next to the rockery is a promenade and a pavilion, as soon as Lu Rui came in, he went straight to the garden and squatted behind the rockery, not moving.
Lu Xu: "Hey, what about Ruirui, Lu Zhou, have you seen Lu Xiaorui?" How did it disappear in the blink of an eye? ”
Lu Rui giggled: "Can't see me!" ”
Lu Xu held back a smile: "I can't see Rui Rui, where have you been?" ”
He quietly walked behind Lu Rui and motioned for Lu Zhou to come to the front to copy.
