The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 481: Raising the price from the ground up
It was not as warm outside as in the shop. Shi Liu first put on the woolen shawl brought by Sui Lu, then got into the carriage, holding a hand warmer in her hand. The coldness caused by the wind finally felt better.

There's nothing I can do about it. She's just afraid of heat in the summer and cold in the winter.

She was wearing a set of woolen clothes, but she still felt cold outside.

Zuo Cheng outside the car asked, "Girl, where are you going? Home?"

Shi Liu said, "Let's go to Linglongzhai for a stroll."

I heard that Linglongzhai has new jewelry with great styles. The New Year is coming soon, so I’d like to buy some for the women at home.

The purpose of making money is to enjoy it. Don’t miss out on anything, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The second batch of treasures that she had secretly taken out when she lured someone into a trap was actually a second batch of treasures. She had already arranged for the remaining 20% ​​to be delivered by the powerful express company. It did not attract any attention and was smoothly delivered to the various farms and houses under her name and hidden well. It was all handled by Wu Cheng and his men, so it was safe and secure, and few people knew about it.

Those countless gold, silver and jewels are so numerous that you can never use them all up.

However, even without all these, she is still a wealthy woman. It is the New Year, so buying her some more jewelry and clothes is just a drop in the bucket.

Just thinking about all the troubles caused by this treasure also proves that sometimes having too much money can also be a problem.

Therefore, Shiliu has already sent people to supervise the work. In addition to the existing Salesian Halls in the provincial capital, Luoshui City and other counties, more Salesian Halls and Shanlao Halls will be built in the state capital and several other prefectures one after another to do more good deeds.

After Liu Dongjia knew this, he also said that he would be included. Having the Liu family join her saved her a lot of trouble.

The carriage suddenly stopped, and Pomegranate's thoughts were interrupted.

"What happened?"

Sui Lu hurriedly lifted the curtain and looked out. After a moment, he replied, "Miss, the road ahead is blocked. It seems that someone is causing trouble in Ningyuan Escort Agency."

The Ningyuan Escort Agency that is located on the same street as the Weifeng Express Post Station in their capital?

I heard that the Ningyuan Escort Agency's business has always been mediocre, even before their Weifeng Express was opened.

But the Ningyuan Escort Agency was quite good at shifting the blame to others, insisting that the Weifeng Express had stolen their business. They had even come to the Weifeng Express to cause trouble. Of course, the Liu family was behind the Weifeng Express, so naturally they couldn't get away with it.

In short, the people of Ningyuan Escort Agency are of bad character. There is something fun to watch here, so Shi Liu got off the carriage excitedly.

Anyway, the road ahead is blocked, so let's just watch and see the fun first.

When I got off the carriage, I found that there were already quite a few people gathered in front. No matter what era, watching the excitement was a common thing.

There are front and back rows for watching the fun. Naturally, the front row can see more clearly. With someone clearing the way for Shi Liu, she easily squeezed to the front.

Then I saw a large black coffin parked at the entrance of Ningyuan Escort Agency. A woman in mourning clothes was supported by her two children, who were also in mourning clothes. She was crying very sadly.

"Everyone, please be fair. This Ningyuan Escort Agency is not doing its job! They clearly accepted my escort and agreed to help us escort my husband's coffin back to our hometown for burial this morning. But at the last minute, they said it was unlucky to escort the coffin. That means they want to raise the price! We have already agreed on a lot of silver, but they want to double it - this is bullying us, an orphan and a widow!"

The crowd was talking and whispering.

"I know this woman. She's the proprietress of the lantern shop on Lantern Street in the back. She's not from the city. I heard she's from Dacheng Prefecture. She's been running a lantern shop in our city for more than ten years. See? Both of their children were born in our city, and I was the one who delivered them! The couple are both good people. Unfortunately, fate played tricks on them. Her husband got a strange disease not long ago. He took a lot of medicine and saw a lot of doctors. He also asked Doctor Xiao Wang to see him, but he couldn't be cured. After all these days, he passed away two days ago.

"It is natural for fallen leaves to return to their roots, and when someone dies, they must carry their coffin back to their hometown for burial. It is such a long journey, and how can an orphan and a widow not hire an escort agency? Who would have thought that the Ningyuan Escort Agency is so unkind!"

"So that's how it is? Oh, why did she come to the Ningyuan Escort Agency? Who doesn't know about the Ningyuan Escort Agency?"

"Isn't it because they think it's unlucky to escort the coffin? The other two escort agencies in the city refused to accept the job, so we had no choice but to ask the Ningyuan Escort Agency. Although the price was a bit high, they still accepted the job. But who would have thought that when we were supposed to set off today, the Ningyuan Escort Agency suddenly raised the price and demanded twice the money, otherwise they would not leave! How wicked!"

"That's right, it's so immoral!"

The crowd started to point fingers at the Ningyuan Escort Agency, saying that they were immoral. How could they go back on their word and raise the price right before departure? This was not the way to do business. No wonder the Ningyuan Escort Agency had been doing so poorly.

Being pointed at by the crowd, the manager of the escort agency standing on the steps didn't even raise his eyelids. He just waited calmly for the woman to make a decision, as if he was sure that she would agree.

Seeing that she was being criticized and attacked like this, but the other party remained indifferent, Miao was also discouraged. The only one willing to take this order was the Ningyuan Escort Agency. She couldn't let her husband die in a foreign land without being able to return home. She had to leave today. But if she had to pay twice the money, it would be almost all the money she had - and she would have to go back to take care of her husband's funeral...

But there was no choice, she gritted her teeth and was about to agree.

"This aunt."

Suddenly, a crisp voice interrupted.

Miao turned her head and saw a young girl in a lilac jacket walking up to her. She didn't know the girl and looked at her with confusion.

Shi Liu said, "This Ningyuan Escort Agency went back on its word and broke the contract at the last minute. They are so dishonest and untrustworthy. Auntie, do you still want to do business with them? Can you be assured?"

Miao was hesitant and worried. It would take several days to return to her hometown. If the Ningyuan Escort Agency could go back on its word once, it could go back on its word twice. If they raised the price halfway through the journey, would she pay it or not?
But she had no choice.

Then the girl continued, "Aunt, do you know the Weifeng Express at the corner of the street? Why don't you place an order with them?"

Miao was stunned. "Isn't that a place that specializes in delivering goods and letters? Will they take on this business?"

Shi Liu nodded. "Take it. Whether it's delivering mail or goods, or escorting people, the purpose of Weifeng Express is to put customers first and solve their problems. We will definitely provide you with the most worry-free and satisfactory honest service and guarantee a fair price. Once you place an order, it will arrive regardless of rain or shine!"

Miao was moved by what she heard. She stopped looking at the manager and called two servants. She and her children carried the coffin and went straight to the Weifeng Express at the street corner.

There were also kind-hearted onlookers who came up to help, and in a short while, the coffin was delivered to the entrance of Weifeng Express at the street corner.

The common people all followed to see the situation, to see whether the Weifeng Express was really accepting the call and whether the price was really cheap.

In an instant, no one was left at the entrance of Ningyuan Escort Agency.

The manager looked at Shi Liu coldly and said angrily, "Minding my business!" Then he turned around and went in.

Pomegranate raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm happy."

"Let's go and take a look at the Weifeng Express."
