Chapter 35

The Lu family's green cloth pony carriage was not big at first, but now there are sixteen boxes that are one foot square, and there is no room for it.

Lao Yang sat on the shaft of the carriage with Lu Wu, leaving Xiaomi and Feng Jian sitting opposite each other in the carriage, which was a bit awkward.

Xiaomi moved his body awkwardly, raised his hand and opened the boxes to check one by one.

It was the first time Feng Jian saw such a weird rabbit doll. After thinking about it, he took one and asked, "This rabbit is really realistic, but it looks a little weird."

Xiaomi has been busy for seven or eight days with old and young women, and invested nearly 20 taels of capital alone. How can he accept such an evaluation.

So subconsciously retorted, "What's so strange, this is cute, so cute!"

"Okay, it's cute." Seeing her responding, Feng Jian's heart trembled, and she added, "What's wrapped in this rabbit skin, doesn't it look like cotton?"

"It's down, you put it in your cloak and cotton trousers, it's soft and light."

Xiaomi pinched a small straw basket, shook it very satisfied, and smiled, "Uncle Liu's craftsmanship is really good, look at this basket, Peter Rabbit usually goes out for picnics, carrying snacks and fruits, how cute Ah. As for any little girl, I’m afraid there is no one who doesn’t like it.”

"How much silver are you going to sell for a set?"

"Well, five taels?"

Xiaomi is a little undecided. Although she vows to take the boutique route, but thinking about this time and space, there are still countless people who can’t eat enough and don’t wear warm clothes. If a doll rabbit is sold for a few hundred catties of grain, will it be thundered from the sky? split...

"50 taels!"

Unexpectedly, Feng Jian offered ten times the price. Xiaomi retorted, "Although it is said that the states in the south of Dayuan are rich, no one would spend 50 taels of silver to buy a doll for a child. If five taels of silver is too low , it’s better to set the price at ten taels. The cost of a set of dolls is less than two taels of silver..."

"No, since you want to sell it, why don't you send it directly to Kyoto. There are a lot of wealthy families there, and the more expensive it is, the easier it is to sell it. If the price is low, it won't be sold."

Feng Jian didn't know what he thought of, and a gloomyness flashed in his eyes.Xiaomi was thinking about what he said, but he didn't see anything. Finally, he gritted his teeth and waved his little hand, "Okay, that's the decision. If it can't be sold, it's a big deal to take it back and give it to Erya and the others."

The little girls in the village came to the backyard of the Lu family with their mothers a few nights ago and saw the completed Peter Rabbit. Put it in your eyes and take it away.

Needless to say, in the end, I was slapped by the old lady to extinguish the fantasy. Fortunately, the old lady still felt sorry for them, and made a small rabbit out of broken fur.

If I can get a set of hardcover Peter Rabbit, I am afraid that the little girls will be able to wake up from their sleep with joy!

The two talked and laughed like this, as if they had returned to the original days.When Xiaomi finally belatedly remembered the word "embarrassed", the city gate was not far away.

I don't know that many gods opened their eyes, but none of the two "skin pickers" guarding the gate was there, leaving some small soldiers who were very easy to manage. Lao Yang helped to stuff dozens of copper coins and passed.

Otherwise, with such a truckload of goods, plus four adults, it is impossible to enter the door without one or two hundred cash.

"Oh, good sign, good sign! Maybe my Peter Rabbit will sell well."

Xiaomi smiled and closed the box, looking like a money fan, which made Feng Jian's lips curl up.

Xiaomi blushed and said angrily, "What's so funny, you are the creditor, and I am in debt. If you don't make money, what should you use to pay back the debt?"

Spring is approaching, and the streets are very lively with people coming and going.Lu Wu jumped off the chariot, led the horse by the reins, and walked all the way to the backyard of Chen Jibu Village.

On a daily basis, the boy opened the door when he heard the movement.

Before Lu Wu could unload the box, Shopkeeper Chen greeted him.

"Miss Lu, it's a coincidence that I'm here today. I'm going to the village to give you vegetable gold."

"That's not urgent. Shopkeeper Chen has always been trustworthy. It doesn't matter if you wait a few days to settle the settlement."

Xiaomi called the second elder brother to carry a box, and finally, together with Feng Jian, followed shopkeeper Chen into the small hall of the side room.

Shopkeeper Chen was a little proud of being praised by Xiaomi, but he stroked his beard and said, "Miss Lu doesn't know, this vegetable is very popular now. If it weren't for me, these little guys would avoid people's eyes every time they went to the village to pull vegetables. , I’m afraid someone has already gone to the village to snatch the business. If I default on Caijin again, then I will cut off the business by myself.”

"Oh, this is a good thing. It's a pity that there are only so many vegetables, and I don't have any to sell to outsiders." Xiaomi's expression did not show any surprise, and she still smiled so charmingly.

Shopkeeper Chen originally had a tentative mind, but seeing Xiaomi like this, he finally felt more at ease.

Although there was an agreement long ago, if Xiaomi resold the green vegetables to others because of the high price, there was nothing he could do.

Xiaomi asked a few words about when he would go to cut the vegetables again, and without much fuss, he called his second brother to move the box to the table.

"Shopkeeper Chen, I've made some gadgets these days, and I want your help to take them to the south for sale!"

"Oh, what a good thing, show me quickly."

Shopkeeper Chen has made a lot of contacts these days because of selling vegetables, and the money is also rushing into his account. He almost believes that Xiaomi is a cornucopia.

Hearing that she was pondering something good again, she immediately put down the teacup in her hand and stood up excitedly.

At such a time, the curtain blocking the door was lifted.

A man in Tsing Yi, about [-] years old, walked in. His appearance was the same as shopkeeper Chen's five points, the only difference was that his eyes were exposed, which was too photogenic.

"Father, I came back from outside and heard that there are guests at home, so I came to say hello."

Sure enough, the man called shopkeeper Chen, confirming everyone's guess.

Shopkeeper Chen has only one son and one daughter. This son was almost raised by him alone, and he cherishes and loves him very much.

Seeing him rushing in now, she wasn't annoyed, and instead made a recommendation for him.

"Miss Lu, this is Chen Xin, an old dog. He has been working in the capital all year round, and he just came back for a walk these few days. Didn't you ask me to find some ground eggs before, and this time he brought people back to transport them."

"Oh, then I have to thank Mr. Chen."

Xiaomi stood up and saluted, with a dignified and generous expression, not as panicky as an ordinary girl seeing outsiders.

Chen Xin had heard his father mention Xiaomi these days, and just now he had heard it from a buddy, so he came in to have a look out of curiosity.Unexpectedly, Xiaomi was so young, one or two years younger than the younger sister in the family.However, she figured out a way to grow vegetables in winter, which is really rare.

"Miss Lu is being polite, as it should be."

While speaking, everyone sat down again.Chen Xin occasionally turned his head and saw Feng Jian sitting next to Xiaomi, but subconsciously straightened his back.

Who is this person?

He was dressed in a dark brown robe, the workmanship was not exquisite, but the style was a little special. The half-inch collar that was turned up made the man's facial features more rigid and handsome.The most important thing is that the nobility that can't be concealed between his eyebrows and eyes is not as good as that of the young master he usually serves.Could it be that this is a nobleman from a princely family?
Feng Jian slowly sipped the tea in his hand, his eyes seemed to glance at Chen Xin inadvertently, the coldness and alienation in his eyes made Chen Xin swallow the question he was about to say.

On the other side, Xiaomi was talking to shopkeeper Chen about selling dolls on consignment.Old shopkeeper Chen was a little hesitant when he heard that Xiaomi was going to send these rabbits to Kyoto.

In his opinion, these dolls are really cute, and the little girl will definitely like them when they see them.But a set of 50 taels of silver is still a bit too expensive. Even if there are as many princes in Kyoto as dogs, a single brick can knock down a dozen officials, but no one is a fool.

50 taels of silver is the salary of a third-rank official for one month, and it is almost impossible to buy a rabbit.

But Xiaomi still gave [-]% of his hand, and he had to try everything.

"Okay, Miss Lu, if I accept this business, I will definitely try my best. If it really doesn't work, I will bear half of the cost."

"How can it work?" Xiaomi waved his hand, but said with a smile, "It's just a gadget that I've been tossing around in a very boring way. It's okay if it doesn't work. Shopkeeper Chen is sorry enough to bother, how can I let you share the cost?"

Shopkeeper Chen thought about it, but didn't insist anymore.

The two chatted a few more gossips, and agreed that shopkeeper Chen would hire a few more cars to take the ground egg seeds to Laoxiongling tomorrow, and Xiaomi and the others left.

Old shopkeeper Chen saw his son back after seeing off the guests, and saw his son still sitting, not moving, so he stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, boss? But do you think there's something wrong with Ms. Lu?"

"No," Chen Xin shook his head and asked, "Father, Miss Lu seems to be a shrewd and sensible girl, a rare good girl. But..."

"but what?"

Shopkeeper Chen was disturbed by his son's hesitation, and couldn't help urging, "If you have something to say, just say it."

"What is the origin of that person next to Miss Lu? I think it's a little unusual."

"You mean Mr. Feng," Shopkeeper Chen frowned. "It is said that this man is a son of a rich family who came to study abroad. He injured his leg because he saved the third son of the Lu family from bandits, and has been recuperating in the Lu family. As for him Where it came from, no one knows."

After all, shopkeeper Chen was very worried, lowered his voice and asked again, "Boss, are you saying that this person is not a good person? Then I have to remind Miss Lu..."

"No," Chen Xin hurriedly stopped his father, "Dad was wrong. I just saw this man's extraordinary bearing, as if he came from a wealthy family. In the future, Dad will think about it, don't make this person angry, respect him as much as you can." wear some."

"Oh, that's it..." Shopkeeper Chen believed in his son's vision. After all, his son usually spends his time in the capital. If he didn't have this ability, he might have returned to his hometown long ago.

"I know, don't worry."

Chen Xin saw that his father listened to the persuasion, so he didn't say any more. He looked at the doll suit on the table again, rolled his eyes, and said, "I'll take these boxes back to Kyoto. I'll think of a way. If they can be sold A high price can be regarded as a good relationship with the Lu family."

Shopkeeper Chen happily responded, "Okay, I think Miss Lu has some strange skills, maybe the Lu family will be prosperous in the future."
