Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 268, Zhen's Crying Angrily

When He Feng's goods arrived at the pier of the canal, someone came to ask for the price. He Feng looked back at the hill-like goods. It was the first purchase he had ever made in his life. A smile appeared on his face naturally, and he cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me." Ah, shopkeepers, I don’t have much of my own goods, and I plan to ship them back to Xinji’s own store for sale, most of them here are other people’s goods, I can’t make decisions.”

The shopkeepers he was talking about were those who had been guarding the canal wharf all year round. When they saw fresh goods, they were the first to get them, and then distributed them to make money after changing hands.

"He shopkeeper, where is it not to make money, we will buy it for you, why don't you go home with the money? If you don't want to go home, this is the wharf. You can get on the boat and go back to buy goods. Isn't it good?"

He Feng thought about this, so he negotiated the price with them, saying "buy it for a lump sum", which means that everyone should take it seriously, because some goods have not been opened for inspection, so the ship will not be unloaded Anyway, the ship replenishes the food on the spot and won’t be able to leave in the next few days. I will go directly to the ship to inspect the goods. This season is the intersection of summer and autumn, and Beijing is relatively close to the Northland. For special products, He Feng and He Ning shopped around in several markets and finally made their purchases.

There are either no new collections here, or very few. The shopkeepers who run the docks can see that some goods can be stored until winter. They all know that there is a shortage of supplies in winter. Once the canal is frozen, the prices of goods in the market related to the canal will be extremely high. .

And once the river freezes, don't expect the roads to be passable, and the horse-drawn carts can't keep up with the slow speed. In winter, when the farm is slack, robbers are rampant. Some robbers don't have enough harvest for a year, or they have enough harvest, but what do they do in winter?Just grab it, that's all.

The supply of goods has been cut off, and the store will quote prices for things that can be stored.

Some of He Feng's fresh specialty products are rare and expensive. He and the people at the wharf have a few big customers, but the customers are not shop owners. Some wealthy businessman, some country gentry, like the first time when they have money. Eat something new, order someone to run errands for them.

He Feng hadn't unloaded the cargo yet, so he sold half of it first, and whoever's cargo unloaded the ship. He Feng took his staff to unload only his own half, and hired a car at the pier to return to Xinji. The staff all said: "If you always listen to Brother Ning How nice it would be, Miss Yanyan and your daughter-in-law also let you come to Beijing. It's not easy to buy a lot of goods, they are willing to lend you money, but you actually said no."

He Feng also felt a little regretful about coming up. He walked all the way and explained to his buddy: "This is not the first time I have bought goods in the Beijing market. We are afraid that there are things we don't understand and we dare not buy more. Besides, the children are sensible. Ken wants my money, let me come back with the goods, let me take their money, I can't do it."

He brought 100 taels of silver to buy some goods and go home to try it out. If it is sold well, he will buy more next year. He also brought 1000 taels to Lvzhu He Ning to make up for the cost, but was rejected by Yuan Xiu and Yanyan. In terms of value, it was the first time in his life.

The market in Xinji has only been around for a few decades. The He family used to farm and run a small business during the slack. If he started from his ancestors and started from He Feng to purchase thousands of dollars, he would have been a rich man long ago. There is no need to worry about the principal of Luzhu He Ning.

He Feng usually buys goods for 100 taels, 300 or 500 taels, and occasionally [-] taels for a return, not every year. The family is considered well-to-do, but not even moderately wealthy.

Yanyan suggested that after asking Yuanxiu and Luzhu, it was not easy for Elder He Feng to come to Beijing, so it is better to lend him some capital, so that each family can earn more money, and the next time they can deliver more goods.

Qi Xi, He Feng, and the Song family brought the goods together into Beijing, and the shop opened up well. Qi Jun and Qi Xunfu said: "I don't know when the next batch will arrive, and the business can't be empty."

Yanyan told him not to rush, Uncle He went to the market every day to buy goods, let him take a look at it calmly, so as not to pick the wrong goods and sell them in the new collection.

Then the most direct way is to lend a sum of money to He Feng, let him transport more goods back, earn more, and the next time he will bring more goods to Beijing.

He Feng didn't want it, because he was afraid of burdening the children. Even though he knew that the children had tens of thousands of principal in the store, he regretted it now, but he didn't regret it very much. After finishing the hundred miles, we arrived at Xinji that night.

The next morning, the goods were delivered to each family. The goods to Beijing were pooled by the three families. Because Zhen did not believe that her daughter had shares, she did not necessarily let Zhen deliver the goods. Now it is confirmed that the wealthy sister Hui is a shareholder, and the goods were shipped back. The Zhen family has a share in the goods, so let her also deliver some of the goods coming to Beijing next time.

"I sell half of my goods when they arrive at the wharf. The four of us share the money. Here is the list of the remaining half of the goods. The second grandma will see what you want. This is the first time you can choose. You can just do it." Pick, and we will ship and restock in the future, and Second Mistress is also proud of it, and the goods we come back from Beijing will be shared equally by everyone."

He Feng was so excited that he couldn't fall asleep, he got up again in the first two hours, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, and ran here, wanting to send the surprise to each family early, Zhen Shi hurried to see him, only combed his hair, didn't eat, and heard Second Mistress was not happy about this unexpected "shock".

She was surprised, but frustrated: "My eyelids kept twitching at home, and I thought of Sister Hui, who is not ashamed. Seeing that her sisters have a shop, she must be clamoring for a copy. The father-in-law loves her, who is the second master to?" They are all gentle, only I can calm her down, this shameless person, must he be an adult who has lost sister Xiu?"

Zhen Shi was so angry that she almost cried.

He Feng comforted her: "Second Mistress, which eyelids are jumping? Oh, oh, this is where you are making money. Look, this is not money."

After saying a few more words, he couldn't coax him any longer, so he dropped the money and said goodbye, saying that if the second grandma didn't choose, the goods would be shared equally among the four families, and it would be easy to sell, because only our four families had them in the whole Xinji Town.

He Feng went home, Mrs. He brought breakfast, because of his hard work, he made a lot of food, He Feng lived with his brothers, there were two younger brothers, two cousins, and married couples They also live together, and usually go to the shop to help with business.

Some people might say that with so many people busy with business, the He family should be considered rich.Each of them owns their own business, He Feng is worried about the capital for the green bamboo He Ning, so he can only save as husband and wife, and can't blackmail others.

Even if the brothers want to help, He Feng has to think about it before agreeing. If he is not clear, it is like the new family business of Lvzhu He Ning, the He family paid the principal.

That can't be done, this is the family business of the young couples, passed down from generation to generation by them, it is entirely He Feng's family business.

Brothers, you have to settle accounts clearly in order to get along with each other for a long time.
