Second Sister Nongmen has space

Chapter 103 Selling Carpets

Song Liyun couldn't help sucking the drool that was about to flow out.

He decided to sell the wool carpet back for silver first, and then have a big meal.

Then he bought comfortable walking cowhide boots and clothes for Song Zhenping, and bought toys and snacks for Xiao An.

Black gold... what does black gold need?
What does that increasingly gluttonous monkey need?
Song Liyun thought about it, let's make two more sets of floral padded jackets and trousers for it!

The first thing is to sell rugs.

Now Song Liyun only had a few pennies with her, so the two could only hug the carpet and order two bowls of wontons on the side of the road to satisfy their hunger.

The leather goods store that Han Ming is familiar with is very simple, with a few leather goods piled up in a small front room.

When Song Liyun walked in, there was only one shopkeeper sorting things out.

This is a bearded, serious uncle.

Seeing Song Liyun and the others coming in, he greeted them with a very polite smile.

When I heard that Song Liyun was going to sell carpets and spread the woolen carpets on the counter and shook them off, the shopkeeper just took a look, the smile on his face disappeared, and his brows immediately frowned.

Song Liyun is calm and composed, she is not afraid of being picky by the shopkeeper.

The wool carpet sent out by the guard is of good quality, and it is obviously a high-end product.

The fur shopkeeper looked and looked, touched and touched before letting go of the carpet.

At the first moment, he didn't say whether the carpet was good or bad. Instead, he quickly wrapped the carpet and made a gesture to invite in: "Girl, please talk inside."

The shopkeeper has good eyesight, so Song Liyun and Han Ming came in together.

Han Ming was tall and in his prime of life. Although he was wearing a coarse cloth jacket, he could tell at a glance that Song Liyun, who was also dressed in plain clothes, was the one who spoke.

Song Liyun only glanced at the shopkeeper, and saw that there seemed to be something in his eyes that wanted to say something, so he walked in without asking any further questions.

There is a quiet room in the store, and Song Liyun didn't beat around the bush when he came here, and asked directly: "Does the shopkeeper have questions about the carpet?"

The shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Young lady's carpet is a high-quality product, and the price can be given up to 150 taels of silver. But before that, I have something to ask, and please tell the truth, otherwise my shop won't dare to accept it."

Song Liyun nodded: Luo Baihu said the carpet was worth a hundred taels, and the shopkeeper said it was 150 taels, which is already much more than expected. He seems to be an honest person, so he should be cautious.

Seeing that Song Liyun agreed, the shopkeeper of the leather goods said, "Miss, which tribe of the Di clan did you get this thing from?"

The question is so detailed, why?
Song Liyun immediately became vigilant.

Wu Dynasty and the Di clan are deadly enemies, and Suijin Town was destroyed by the Di clan. Now I am asked which tribe of the Di clan this wool carpet comes from... Is it for revenge?

It's really a turn of events. I used to force myself to ask Boss Mu where the goods went, and now someone wants to ask the source.

Song Liyun looked at Han Ming in silence for a moment.

This store was introduced by Han Ming. He said that the buying and selling prices here are moderate, and it is not as deceptive as other stores.

If this store has any grudges against the Di clan, he should know.

Han Ming also looked blank. He had sold some prey skins before, and the shopkeepers were very generous and casual, without asking the source of the goods.

Song Liyun thought for a while, then slowly got up: "Shopkeeper, is there something wrong with my carpet? If it's inconvenient to store it, then I won't force you."

The color of the carpet is obviously the exotic style of the prairie, which cannot be concealed.

At most, I would not sell it, nor would I be able to take the blame for the Di people.

The shopkeeper obviously saw this kind of reaction a lot, and hurriedly said: "Girl, don't get me wrong, the Di tribe has enmity with the Wu Dynasty, but there is no barrier between our business. Otherwise, there would be no tea bricks and salt on the grassland, and the Wu Dynasty would not have so many cattle." Mutton and furs."

Song Liyun paused for a moment before realizing that there was a port city on the border of the Wu Dynasty.

There is no food or vegetables on the grasslands, and the absorption of vitamins depends on tea bricks.

Salt also had to be brought in from the Wu Dynasty and neighboring countries, and most of the sheepskin robes that the people of the Wu Dynasty wanted to wear had to come from the grasslands.

The conflict between the two sides is a conflict, and the caravans of the two sides still have contacts.

The fur shopkeeper saw that Song Liyun understood, and continued: "The reason why I want to ask is because the fur goods from the Di clan are exclusively traded in the Wu Dynasty, and a small shop like ours dare not operate it."

Song Liyun became interested, she only thought that they were carrying private goods, who would be so bold as to monopolize and sell them alone.

"Shopkeeper, you don't have to worry about the source of my goods. I have never been in contact with the grasslands, and I don't know any Di tribes. This wool carpet is privately traded from the army."

When the shopkeeper heard that he didn't come from the grassland, his brows and eyes relaxed immediately: "Miss, forgive me, I was worrying too much.

To be honest, if the girl's blanket is sold to the south, it can be sold for at least 500 taels of silver.

You also know that the investigation of private individuals along the way is very tight. If you are caught, you will lose your money and people. "

"Oh! The shopkeeper, tell me, since the investigation of private companies is so tight, who dares to sell it alone?"

This is really a profiteering industry!
Song Liyun regained his spirits in an instant.

My old business is transportation, if I can do this business, I can make less money!

"Who? Of course it's the imperial merchant!"

Song Liyun was speechless, no wonder.

The Wu Dynasty strictly inspected the movement of people. If you leave the place of household registration for a hundred miles, you need official guidance, otherwise you will be investigated as a refugee.

To do business on the road, the first thing is to apply for a business introduction and pay heavy taxes.

The imperial merchants naturally took advantage of this convenience, so they were not afraid of being spot-checked by the government.

Since the woolen carpet did not come directly from the Di tribe, the store accepted the carpet, but the shopkeeper did not give cash immediately.

He gave Song Liyun a choice.

If Song Liyun wanted cash, he would pay 150 taels of silver on the spot.

If you are willing to wait for the goods to be sold in the south before settlement, it will be 300 taels.

The income is doubled, but the money is not for nothing. If the goods are caught midway, there will be no money.

And this kind of operation?

Risk sharing!

Song Liyun was shocked.

The shopkeeper explained: It is really too risky on the road, they need to carry the goods separately, and only need to deliver five out of ten goods, and this trip will make money.

If the goods are inspected, they will lose their money and people, and the private sector will be fined and jailed.

Song Liyun asked for cash.

She now needs cash to buy food.

And she also has doubts about this store: I have only met this store for the first time, so I can reveal such important information, is it a trap?
Han Ming sat on the side silently. Although he was surprised by these words, he was only surprised.

From the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River, the journey is long, and along the way there are inspectors and inspections to arrest private individuals. Except for the imperial merchants, most people really dare not do it.

In addition to selling carpets, Song Liyun also sells one fox skin and two rabbit skins.

Both the fox and rabbit skins are in good condition, and the fur dealers offer reasonable prices.

Two hundred cash for fox fur and thirty cash for rabbit skin.

Song Liyun thought about it, the rabbit skins here are all obtained from hunting, and it would be a good business for Song Zhenping to raise rabbits and sell their skins in the future.

More than 100 taels of silver were stuffed into the leather bag by Song Liyun casually, and they went straight out of the fur shop.
