The whole family went into exile when they crossed, and evacuated the Hou's mansion all the way

"Thank you very much for today."

After all the brothers had passed, Zhang Hu cupped his fists and saluted several officers and soldiers.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the officer and soldier who collected the money showed an unknown smile towards Zhang Hu.

"If I had known there were so many of you and so many carriages, 50 taels would be too cheap for you. If you want to go back next time, prepare 200 taels."

Zhang Hu...

The camps of the garrisoned officers and soldiers were nearby. Thinking that the ten carriages were really ostentatious, Zhang Hu didn't say anything more, for fear of further wasting time.

He led the convoy and headed all the way along the official road under the cover of night.

Looking at the motorcade disappearing into the night, the officials who had shared the money looked regretful.

"When did the people in this barbaric land become so rich? For a convoy of ten carriages, just the ten horses would be worth seven or eight hundred taels of silver if they were seized and resold, not counting the ten carriages of goods. of."

"Yes, this man is so smart. He actually gave us away for just 50 taels of silver. Those fruits are so delicious. I don't know how much silver they cost for ten carts. I'll wait for them when they come back. If they only have 200 taels of silver, it's fine." It’s too cheap for them.”

"Do you want to drain them all at once, or do you want them to always have money to honor us?"

The officer who first took the silver whispered as he listened to what the brothers said to each other.

Upon hearing this, the chattering people suddenly became happy, "Brother Yun, you are still smart, that's all. Next time they come, we will ask them to pay 200 taels to each other. If they come a few more times, we will pay it. !”

"Haha, that fruit is so delicious. I think it will be sold for a good price. When they make money and taste the sweetness, they will naturally sell it often."

Here, the officers at the checkpoint were planning how to take advantage of Zhang Hu and the others, while Zhang Hu and the others ran all the way and arrived at a border town after an hour.

There are two [-]-meter-long streets in Bianguan Town. There is only one inn in the whole town. Dozens of people went up and asked for three rooms. Each room can accommodate four people. The rest made do on the carriage and guarded the goods.

After running on the road for several days, the few people only ate dry food and barbecue. Even if they brought iron pots, they had no chance to rest and cook. After all, if the fruit was not sold for a day, they would worry about it for one more day.

After finally finding a place to rest, Zhang Hu asked the inn to cook a bowl of hot noodles for everyone.

After finally eating a bite of soft and warm noodles, many people were a little tasteless.

"This noodles is really not as good as ours. Apart from a few slices of mutton with a mutton smell, there is only a little salt left. We used to eat like this, but after arriving in Luocheng, I found that our tastes have become tricky. ”

"Oh, it's thanks to us that we have a master who can cook. If he hadn't spent a few days teaching the cooks how to cook, we wouldn't be eating these things now. We would be out of town. The guys just make do with each other, eat and go to bed early, and I have to switch to other brothers to rest in the middle of the night.”

Hu Liu yelled, and everyone laughed, swallowed all the noodles in the bowl in a few random mouthfuls, and then went to sleep in their own room.Looking at the shopkeeper who was still fiddling with the abacus in front of the counter, Zhang Hu winked at Hu Liu, who understood and hurriedly approached.

"Shopkeeper, do you have a market on weekdays in this small town?"

"Well, it's open to people nearby. There's a market every Wednesday, Saturday, and September."

"Oh? Your town is close to the wild border, so there are a lot of people coming and going. Why did we only see your inn in this town today?"

After hearing Hu Liu's words, the shopkeeper raised his eyes slightly, glanced at his face lightly, and a hint of self-mockery curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"You also know that this is a barbaric land. Oh, except for the occasional exiled officials escorting prisoners through here, there are only some martial arts people who go to seal the city and pass through this road. Where do so many people come from? This is the only inn."

"I see."

"Oh, where are you coming from? It seems that you are not from our Dongfeng Kingdom. I recognized this accent as soon as I heard it. And you also brought ten carriages with you. Where are you going? ? If you are not familiar with this area, I happen to be free now and can talk to you."

"We came from a barbaric land and brought some specialties with us. We wanted to sell them in your Dongfeng country. We were thinking of selling them in this small town early tomorrow morning, but after hearing what you said, the shopkeeper, it would definitely not be possible. How many people are there? It seems we have to find a place closer to the county seat or something like that."

"Oh, if you want to sell here, it's better to go to Yueyang City, two hundred miles away. There are many wealthy people there. It's too close to the wilderness. Most of them are poor people. Even if there are people from the world passing by, they There is no shortage of money, but most of them often go to wild lands, so they are definitely not interested in your things from wild lands."

After returning to the room after chatting with the shopkeeper, Zhang Hu frowned slightly.

"In this case, we will have to drive at least one more day tomorrow. But if this is the case, the fruits will have to stay on the carriage for one more day, and they may not be able to sell them immediately when they arrive in Yueyang City. "

"Brother Zhang, why don't we set off after midnight. Although the road is difficult to walk at night, we should be able to reach Yueyang City by the end of tomorrow. This way we can work harder and sell our fruits during the day, like Miss As mentioned, if you go to a big restaurant, or the largest grocery store, or a big trading house, as long as you lock in a few big customers, you won't have to worry about selling those ten loads of fruit."

As soon as their colleague Zhao Wu made this suggestion, everyone nodded. Even though they had been driving for three days and fought with some wild animals and exiled criminals on the way, all they could think about at this moment was to kill those ten people. All the car fruits were sold, and no one complained.

"Okay, then let's work hard for two more days. Once the fruits are sold, we won't have to travel so hard."

"What does this hard work mean? The master and the ladies have been so kind to us. They have had a bumper harvest this year. Naturally, we should help the miss and the others to sell the things well. Otherwise, the miss and the others would only feed nearly 2 of us. , It’s really hard work, I can help the lady earn a little bit.”

Some of the people led by Zhang Hu were former miners.

Hearing what they said, Zhang Hu felt happy for their young lady.

"Miss is indeed very kind to us. If we can help her make more money, we can make more money, and she will not treat us badly." (End of Chapter)
