Chapter 205 190 Four Preparations Before Doing Business

The three of them returned to Chai's mansion, and Chai Shao ordered someone to bring over fragrant tea. While drinking tea, the three of them discussed the matter of this horse sale.

Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and asked: "Brother, tell me, how much money should we pay this time?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Brother Chai, let's invest more this time. What do you think of our total capital of 3000 taels of silver?"

Chai Shao listened and smiled.

"Brother, you have the final say on this matter. I don't care how much money you put down. I can also take out these two small coins. You can do it yourself.

Brother, if it doesn’t work, let’s make a deposit of 5 taels of silver. Anyway, none of us is short of these two taels of money now. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, there is no need to take so much silver capital, I think 3000 taels of silver capital is enough.

But, Brother Chai, you have to cooperate with me! "

"No problem, brother, I'm just your assistant, I will cooperate with you whatever you say.

Come on, what do I need my brother for? "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Chai, you need to find more guards this time, we have one guard for each car, so we need to find [-] guards for these goods, of course, we have to Looking for sixty carts.

These goods were transported to the prairie, and the horses were sold and then brought to Shandong. The back and forth losses must not be light! "

We only sell goods worth 5000 taels of silver, and let us spend the remaining 8000 taels of silver. "

"Okay, just do as you said, you can do whatever you want. I will be responsible for finding the guards, and you don't have to worry about the vehicle."

"Well, that's fine, but Brother Chai, this time you need to find a few people who can speak Turkic! It's convenient for us then.

These guards asked them to carry the poles for driving horses by themselves. These things are not easy to find on the prairie. "

"Well, I know all this, so you don't have to worry about it. What else?"

"What else? Let all the guards wear the clothes of the Turkic people, so that we will not make mistakes if we mix with the Turkic people."

"Well, these are not problems, you can rest assured. Is there anything else?"

"Hurry up and notify the owner of the cloth shop tomorrow. We will start picking up the goods in three days, so let them prepare quickly."

I will also notify the owner of the tea shop on the day of the catch-up, and ask him to prepare the goods as soon as possible. "

"Then how many taels of silver cloth do we need to buy this time?"

"We need 1 taels of silver for the cloth, but we also need his 1 taels of silver for the tea.

If there are any deficiencies, let's catch them temporarily. Anyway, the statutory law is not a law. If it doesn't work, let's correct it temporarily. Brother Chai, what do you think? "

"Well, what you said makes sense, let's do what you said."

It was not too long, and it was getting dark. Chai Shao looked at Duan Wuji and the others and asked, "My dear brothers, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Brother Chai, I think we'll eat dumplings tonight, how comfortable it is to serve two bowls of hot dumplings! Brother Tieniu, what do you think?"

"What can I say? I'll follow what you say to eat. You can eat anything."

After hearing this, Chai Shao laughed and said: "Well, it's easy, okay, I'll let them make dumplings, I know, you have to practice when you're full.

Well, this one is quite fast, it will be done in a short while. "

After finishing speaking, Chai Shao walked out.

It wasn't long before the steaming dumplings were served. The three of them each ate a few bowls and put down the bowls and chopsticks. Duan Wuji and Tieniu stood up and said, "Brother Chai, take a rest, we're going back to our room to practice. .”

"Well, you go, let's see you tomorrow."

When the two returned to the room, they immediately sat on the bed cross-legged. The two of them immediately immersed themselves in their cultivation. They didn't lie down to rest for a while until it was almost dawn.

The next morning, the two got up early and practiced boxing and kicking in the yard for a while, and then went back to the house to have breakfast. After breakfast, Duan Wuji said goodbye to Chai Shao: "Brother Chai, we are going back today, you can do it." Get ready, we'll come back in three or a few days."

"Okay, let's make a deal, go ahead."

The two came out of Chai's house and rode straight to the tea shop.

When he came to the tea shop, Duan Wuji walked in directly.

I saw that Boss Niu was crawling in front of the counter with an abacus to settle accounts, Duan Wuji walked over and grabbed the abacus.

"Brother Niu, don't forget it, people are not as good as heaven, so take it easy."

The owner of the tea shop looked up and saw Duan Wuji standing in front of him smiling.

"Brother, why are you here today? What's the matter?"

"Of course I have something to do. I won't come here if I have nothing to do! Brother Niu, is the tea coming soon?"

"Well, soon, soon, it will take three or two days. What's the matter? Brother, are you going to stock up soon?"

"Who says it's not! I'm going to load the goods in a few days. You have to be in a hurry!"

"Huh? So fast? Hey, brother, how much do you plan to order this time? Have you got the exact number now?"

"Well, this time we plan to ask for 1 taels of silver."

"Ah? It's so much! Brother, you've made a big deal!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Brother Niu, to be honest, I did this to take care of you, otherwise I wouldn't want so much money."

The owner of the tea shop smiled awkwardly.

"Well, I know, I know, who told us to be our own relatives.

Hey, brother, let's eat here at noon today. I'll ask your sister-in-law to cook you something delicious. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Forget it, let's eat together some other time, and now I've informed you, we'll go home right away. Let's meet again in a few days."

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji walked out from the tea shop, and the two of them got on their horses, hit the horses and ran straight to their hometown.

When they arrived at the Duanjiaji fork, Duan Wuji reined in his horse.

"Brother Tieniu, tell Brother Changqing and the three of them that we will go to the grassland to do business in a few days, let them prepare as well.

Tell the three of them that this time, the three of them have prepared a total of 500 taels of silver as the principal, so let them make preparations in advance. "

"Okay, okay, I'll inform them in a while, and let them have a mental preparation."

After finishing speaking, the two separated, and Duan Wuji returned home and said to his mother: "Mother, I should go out again in three or a few days, please help me prepare my clothes, and save time." in a hurry."

"Ah? Are you going to leave so soon? To be honest, Mom really doesn't want you to leave?

Son, be careful when you go out!As soon as you go out, mother's heart is lifted, mother is worried about you! "

"Mother, what's the matter? It's been peaceful all the way. If it's not peaceful, I won't go out a long time ago."

"Well, that's fine, I will clean up for you tomorrow for my mother and Jinhua. I hope the Bodhisattva will bless my son and you are safe!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Mother, how can I use Bodhisattva's protection? I will protect myself.

The sword in my hand can wipe out everything, and the snakeskin armor can block all swords, so what can I do? "

Duan Yanqing laughed and said: "Wuji, you have always been so arrogant, this is really the wealth of my Duan family.

Promise, how much money do you need to do business this time?Daddy will prepare for you tomorrow. "

"How much silver do you need? You can prepare 200 taels for me. I don't want any more."

"Ah? Do you need so much? Well, I will prepare it for you tomorrow, kid. Next time you come back, our new house will be built. You can come back and live in the new house."

"Okay, okay, I've been waiting for that day for a long time. Let's make a deal. After this business, I must stay at home for a while.

Until you get tired of waiting and you kick me out. "

Liucaihua laughed and said, "Damn, you won't go out for three years, and my mother won't take you out.

You said that our family has no shortage of food or drink, why should I drive you out?

Wei Niang is still waiting for you to come back and take me to your grandma's house in a car. "

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Okay, okay! Mom, wait for me to come back, we two will look for it together when the time comes."

Duan Yanqing said with a smile: "The head of the family, the child is leaving, so let's cook something the child likes to eat."

Liucaihua agreed and walked out.

Duan Wuji said to his father: "Father, there is nothing wrong now, I'd better go back to my room to practice for a while."

"Well, you go."

Duan Wuji walked out from the main room and stepped into the west wing. Duan Wuji sat cross-legged on the kang, and soon entered the state of cultivation.
