Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 31 Return

As soon as the sky cleared, Ning Wan went to Hutai County with her father first. Originally, she planned to pick some mountain products before going to the county seat, but the things Mrs. Wu sent made her temporarily change her mind. She planned to sell two bolts of silk and satin. A few pieces of gold jewelry, in exchange for money to directly expand her mountain goods business.

From Sanjia Village to Hutai County, which is twice as far away as Mayi Town, Ning Wan and her father walked out of the house in the middle of the night, with gold ornaments in her arms, and two bolts of satin on her father's back, holding a lantern in his hand to illuminate the mountain road .After passing Mayi Town, there was a glimmer of light in the sky. They put down the lanterns, passed through the town, and continued on their way.

Fortunately, I often went to Mayi Town to sell wild vegetables a few days ago, and I was used to walking. Although Ning Wan was a little tired when she reached the county seat, she could still hold on. Seeing the city wall from a distance, she felt a feeling of saying no. Qingdao unknown kindness.Most of the things in her dreams happened in Hutai County. Now she saw the two big words "Hutai" on the city gate, which was exactly the same as what she had dreamed, and felt that the dream was real.

According to legend, a general once built a platform here and named it Hutai. Later, the county was built and the original name was followed.Right now, Hutai Town is in a plain, and indeed the terrain is slightly higher, a hundred miles away from Anpingwei, and it is the largest city in the north of Anpingwei, guarding each other with Anpingwei.

These few sentences were still spoken by the crippled general back then, and Ning Wan always kept them firmly in her heart.He also said, "If you want to defend Anping, you must first defend Hutai, otherwise there will be only Anping, and it will be difficult to support independently." Therefore, when he learned that the barbarians were going south, he immediately led troops to help Hutai, The wives and concubines who live outside Hutai County have no time to go to the city.

Ning Wan looked up at the wall stack on the city wall, probably inside that wall stack, she was standing with the crippled general talking, but she couldn't remember what she was talking about, only vaguely remembering that he opened his mouth with black eyes. Staring at myself closely, let myself have an urge to escape...

What did the crippled general want to say?

"Wan'er, we are about to enter the city. There are officers and soldiers guarding the gate at the gate. They will check everyone's things, and they may ask where we came from. Don't be afraid." Ning Liang saw Wan'er staring blankly at the city wall of Hutai County. , only when she came to the county for the first time and was stunned by the tall city walls, she smiled and told her.

"Oh," Ning Wan withdrew her thoughts, and shook her head vigorously. Everything in the dream has passed, and she doesn't have to think about it anymore. Right now, she has to live her own life first.She turned her head and smiled, "Father, let's go to the city."

Hutai County is the largest city with a radius of dozens of miles. There are many shops and people flow. Every morning when the city gate opens, many people line up inside and outside the city gate, waiting to enter and exit. The busiest time has passed, but entering the city There are still an endless stream of people.Ning's father and son walked into the city gate among many traders and farmers.

The inspection is not very strict. Ning Wan has not experienced it for many years. After she got married, she used mule carts to go in and out of the city gates. When the soldiers saw the vehicles with the words "Zhao Family" at the gates, they let them go. A little unfamiliar, still passed through the thick gate under the signal of the soldiers, really like a peasant girl entering the city for the first time.

Ning's father and daughter entered the city from the west gate, here is a restaurant, and there are stalls selling various snacks at the gate of the city.Ning Wan took her father to find a wonton stand and sat down, and everyone wanted a bowl of wonton.

Ning Liang had been to Hutai Town a few times, but it was always during corvée every year. After coming out of Sanjia Village, he first went to Mayi Town, and then to Hutai County. He was guided along the way, ordered them to do work, and at the same time settled down. Food and lodging and other matters.As for going to Hutai County to do business for my family today, this is the first time.Although he comforted his daughter in his mouth, in fact, he might not have thought of taking Yao Nu as a reliance in his heart. After all, Yao Nu was entrusted by his father to dream, and since then this child has become more and more capable.

Right now Ning Wan asked for wontons, and Ning Liang did not object. The two walked for three or four hours, and they were really tired, thirsty and tired. Looking at the warm wontons with soup and water, they were very appetizing.

The father and daughter ate up all the wontons, and even drank up the soup, and Ning Liang also ate a nest that he brought along with the soup.After sitting and resting on the long bench of the booth for a while, the two got up again, and went to the silk shop first according to Ning Wan's intention.

Ning Wan knew where there was a silk shop, but she couldn't say it directly. Watching her father inquire about the way on the street, she followed her to the east city.Seeing Rui Hongfeng's gold-plated plaque from a distance, Ning Wan dragged her father to go inside, but her father stopped her, "Why don't we go to a small shop."

Dad had never been in these shops, so he was terrified just looking at Ruihongfeng's magnificent facade. In fact, Ruihongfeng's business is very kind, and the Zhao family has been buying silk, satin, cotton, etc. , At the end of the year, a list was drawn up for checkout, and there was never a time to shoddy or falsely report accounts.And Ruihongfeng is very attentive to big customers like the Zhao family. Whenever there is a new product, Ruihongfeng's boss will personally deliver it to the Zhao family to choose first.

The silks and satins that Mrs. Wu gave were first-class goods, and Ruihongfeng's family was the only one dealing in high-quality silks and satins in Hutai County, so Ning Wan's two pieces of silks were intended to be sold back to Ruihongfeng.So she smiled and said: "Father, I just think the plaque of this house looks good, so let's enter this house."

With such a reason, Ning Liang really couldn't refute it, and even if he did, he didn't know which one he should choose to sell the two bolts of silk, so he followed Ning Wan in.

As soon as Fang entered the door, a guy in a green bamboo-colored gown came over, smiling all over his face, "Uncle, take your daughter to buy clothes?" He pointed his hand to one side, "Our family has the most types of floral cloths. Yes, little girls look good in clothes."

Ning Wan smiled slightly, Rui Hongfeng's buddy is really capable, he can see at a glance that it is impossible for her father and herself to buy silk, so he directly recommends floral cloth.That's right, it depends on what my father and I are wearing, they are just ordinary peasants, and when they enter the shop, they naturally buy fabrics.

Ning Liang was immediately overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the waiter, he didn't know what to say for a moment, "That, that, me, we're not here to buy floral cloths." He looked at Yaonu again.

The clerk saw that Ning Wan was in charge, and immediately turned to her, "Little girl, what do you want to buy? The silk fabrics of various colors that just arrived in the shop yesterday are cool for making clothes in summer." It turned out that He saw that the little girl looked very composed even though she was wearing an ordinary green cloth skirt and a jacket made of rags, so he gave her another high look and went from floral cloth to silk.

Ning Wan waved her hand, "We're not here to buy fabrics today." She took off the two pieces of silk and satin from her father and opened the bundle, "We want to return these two pieces of silk and satin."

The man took a look at the two pieces of silk and satin, and recognized at a glance that it was a new product brought in from Jiangnan years ago. In the whole Hutai County, he was the only one with such high-quality silk and satin. He asked, "Is there any defect?"

"No," Ning Wan knew that Mrs. Wu bought the silk from Ruihongfeng, and said with a smile, "I can't use it at home, and it's a waste to leave it for nothing, so I want to return it."

"If there is no defect, the clothes sold in our store will not be returned."

"I understand, I understand," Ning Wan said with a smile, "so I can only ask for half of the original price."

"But that won't work either, there's never been such a rule."

Ning Wan knew the rules of doing business. Generally, the things sold in the shop could not be returned, but she really needed the money now, so she could only find a way to exchange the two pieces of silk for money.Although it is also possible to set up a stall outside with silk and satin to sell, but this kind of expensive fabric is not affordable by ordinary people, and rich people will not buy it outside casually, so she really has to sell it back to Ruihongfeng. this way.

So she said with a smile: "What are the rules? Are they not made by people?" Pick the rest and still take it back to sell, now that I have already agreed to give up half the price, why not? "Check it out. It's not dirty or damaged at all. You can take it back and sell it again."

Seeing that the little girl was very persistent, and what she said was well-founded, the guy felt embarrassed for a moment, "I'm just a kid, I've never encountered such a thing before, I can't make the decision."

"That's okay, please come to your shopkeeper, and I'll tell him."

The guy felt that it was not worth asking the shopkeeper for such a trivial matter, so he hesitated.At this moment, a young man walked in from the door. Seeing that they were in a stalemate, he came over and asked with a smile, "But what's the matter?"

Ning Wan saw the young man's handsome features and a sad face, and said to herself: "It really matches." Then she stepped forward and blessed Fu with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xiao Wang, my two pieces of silk were given by someone else. I don’t need it, and it’s a waste of nothing, so I want to return it, as long as it’s half the price.”

Shopkeeper Xiao Wang took a serious look at this girl. She has an oval face, black and bright almond eyes, and ruddy lips. She is wearing a flowered cloth jacket and a long green cloth skirt. Feeling confused, he smiled and asked, "Which family does the girl belong to?"

"I am from Sanjia Village, Mayi Town, and my surname is Ning."

It turned out that it was someone he didn't recognize, so the shopkeeper Xiao Wang laughed, "How do you know my surname is Wang?"

"I heard people say that Ruihongfeng's shopkeeper Xiao Wang is very kind in his business, so I dared to come here." What Ning Wan said was not all lies. The shopkeeper Xiao Wang's business is really well-known, just like him, which is quite impressive. Ning Wan admired, "Now my request is not too much, as long as it is half of the selling price, and I will ask shopkeeper Xiao Wang to help."

"Sure enough, there is no such precedent in our family." Shopkeeper Xiao Wang thought for a while and said, "But since you must withdraw, then I will make an exception for you." Then he said to the partner: "I have accepted Miss Ning's satin. , and then take her to the cashier to pay the money."
