The wealth of rebirth is deep in the mountains

Chapter 6 made a fortune

The two brothers and sisters were talking lively, but Lao Yang interrupted, "Miss Lu, let the second young master go to the city with you, I am an old man who doesn't like to walk around, it's better to stay and watch the sledge. "

Lu Xiaomi hesitated for a moment, but did not insist, but Lu Wu was very happy to hear that he was able to enter the city.

After paying twenty copper coins, the brothers and sisters of the Lu family entered the city together.

Lu Wu's temper was jumpy, he looked here, stood there, it was a waste of time, causing Lu Xiaomi to pull his sleeve.

"Second brother, there are several big inns on the other side of the commercial street, and there is also a very lively tea house. I heard that the fur traders from the south like to gather there. Let's ask from house to house. Definitely more profitable than selling to a furrier."

"Okay, then go to the shopping street."

Anzhou is neither big nor small, because it is located in the north of Dayuan, where the weather is cold half the time every year, and the grain produced is barely enough for the people of Anzhou to feed their hunger, and the imperial court did not expect it to be handed over here.Fortunately, the fur here is very good, and there is always some income from commercial taxes.

The few inns that Lu Xiaomi delineated are usually fur merchants' favorite places to stay. Now that the snow is falling and winter is coming, the buildings are empty and the off-season is entering, so it is a bit deserted.

Suddenly there were guests coming to the door, and the listless boys rushed forward like chicken blood.

It's a pity that Lu Xiaomi just wanted to ask a few questions, so as not to disappoint.

Fortunately, Lu Xiaomi was not stingy, so he stuffed a copper coin to open the way first, and it went smoothly.

It's just that after a few families walked down, there was nothing to gain.

After getting the last teahouse, there was finally a turning point.

Lu Xiaomi stuffed a few copper coins to the boy as usual, and before he could ask any questions, he heard a guest saying goodbye to his friend at the table by the window.

"Brother Zhao, although I didn't find any good leather goods during this trip, I'm really grateful for Brother Wang's kind hospitality."

The friend hurriedly comforted him, "You don't have to be polite, brother Wang, just come over early next year. I will also pay more attention to the good leather goods for my brother in advance, don't worry."

Lu Xiaomi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he didn't care about the little boy's questioning, so he walked up to him in a few steps, and asked with a smile, "This uncle is looking for good leather goods. My family just happened to hunt tigers and black bears. have a look?"

Those two people heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was a pretty little girl.So the annoyance of being interrupted in the conversation subsided a bit, and the fur dealer surnamed Wang responded casually, "Little girl, I take the fur goods as gifts, and I can't take furs from next year."

"Uncle, don't worry, the tigers and black bears that my family just hunted yesterday have been brought in whole, and they haven't been skinned yet. They couldn't be fresher!"

Lu Xiaomi smiled brightly, and the furrier who was also happy immediately stood up, "Is that true?"

He asked Lu Xiaomi this question, but his eyes were on Lu Wu.After all, compared to a little girl, he trusts an obviously older man more.

Lu Wu nodded, and quickly wrote a testimony for his sister, "The prey is just outside the south gate, if you don't believe me, go and have a look first."

"Oh, that's great!"

Boss Wang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "There's nowhere to find it if you break through the iron shoes. It's easy to get here! I'm really lucky today! Don't worry, if the prey is good enough, I will definitely not treat you badly in terms of money."

The friend surnamed Zhao was also happy for him, "Hurry up and have a look, be careful not to be caught before it's too late."

"Yes, yes!"

The furrier surnamed Wang threw down a dime of silver, and hurriedly urged Lu Xiaomi to lead the way.

As the old man in the village said, there are really only three days of good weather.It was not yet noon, and there were already black clouds piling up in the sky, and the wind and snow were about to make a comeback again.

When Lu Xiaomi and his party finally arrived, Lao Yang was visiting the gate of the city, and he looked happy when he saw them come out.

"It's going to change, and I'm still thinking about your delays in the city."

Lu Xiaomi didn't have time to explain, and directly called Lu Wu to lift the straw mat covering the sledge.This was specially prepared when going out, firstly, I didn't want to attract attention on the road, and secondly, it was to guard against any bad ideas from those who guarded the city gate.

Now when it was opened suddenly, the tiger with a very beautiful fur color and pattern, and the black bear with half an arrow stuck in the white fur on its chest were completely exposed.

The sun wasn't that hot at the moment, but it was enough to cast a faint light on the fur of the two big wild animals, causing everyone to admire them.

Buyers have always lowered the price of the goods in order to lower the price, but for such a good product, the leather goods dealer surnamed Wang really can't say anything bad against his will.

There was already a passing carriage beside him, and he planned to stop. He was afraid of being robbed, so he hurriedly covered the straw curtain again, and finally glanced at everyone in the Lu family, and very shrewdly chose Lu Xiaomi to negotiate the price. .

"Miss Lu, to be honest, these two wild animals are good things. I definitely want to buy them. In terms of price, in previous transactions, a good tiger skin was priced at 80 taels, and a black bear skin was 60 taels. How about 150 taels?"

Lu Wu also went to the city to sell fur goods before, but he heard that the price was much better than sending them to a fur goods store, so he was about to agree.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaomi's face changed, and he simply said annoyed, "Uncle, if I knew you were so dishonest, I would not have brought you here. Let alone, it is so rare to see such a prey at this time. It is said that the tiger and the black bear were shipped in whole, not just one piece of skin! Besides the tiger skin, the tiger also has tiger meat and bones. Which one is not a good thing to take out? Not to mention that the black bear has four bear paws. Bear bile! If you don’t buy it, give it up quickly, and we’ll find someone else!”

While talking, she yelled and went to lift the straw mat, "Everyone come and see, the tiger and black bear just came back from hunting, complete with flesh and skin, good gifts, good tribute..."

The so-called business without traitor is almost the instinct of all businessmen to make more money. The leather goods merchant surnamed Wang did not expect Lu Xiaomi to refuse so simply, and was so frightened that he grabbed the straw mat, fearing that his prey would be robbed.

His good friend was also winking, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to help smooth things over.

"Oh, Brother Wang, I know you don't bring much money with you this time, but you can't miss such a good leather product. Why don't you let me get some money for you first?"

After finishing speaking, he turned to Lu Xiaomi again, smiled and comforted, "Miss Lu, you have come from a long way, and I'm afraid it will take time to find a buyer. My friend also sincerely wants to buy it, so why don't we discuss it again."

Naturally, Lu Xiaomi borrowed the donkey from the slope, withdrew his frozen red hand, and replied with a pouted mouth, "Then uncle, let's set a real price again, if you still think we're easy to cheat, we'll just sell the things as furs. "

Upon hearing this, the businessman surnamed Wang completely accepted the idea of ​​taking advantage.As long as these two prey enter the fur shop, the price will increase several times if he wants to buy them again, and he can only get one fur...

"Well, Miss Lu, I was also impatient earlier. How about this, I bid 120 taels for this tiger, 100 taels for this black bear, and the total price is 220 taels. What do you think?"

After all, he seemed to be afraid that Lu Xiaomi would dislike the low price again, so he quickly added some more, "I brought a batch of cotton cloth when I came from the south, and there are five or six pieces left. If the girl doesn't dislike it, it can be counted as a head Son."

Lu Xiaomi's eyes lit up when she heard this. The price was higher than she expected. After all, she would also be exploited if she sent it to a fur dealer.What's more, they added a few bolts of cotton cloth. Although they were not many, they cost a few taels of silver to buy them.

"Well, I'm afraid it will snow later, and we are in a hurry to go back. Let's sell these two wild animals to uncle!"

"Great, girl, let's go, let's go to the city!"

Boss Wang was no longer stingy this time, even the city entry tax was paid out of his pocket.

Originally, the soldiers at the gate of the city wanted to lift the straw mat to see if there was any advantage to take advantage of.Fortunately, the family of the friend surnamed Zhao had some foundations, so the soldiers quickly retracted their "claws" after bearing the name of a mansion yamen master.

The group soon arrived at the inn where Boss Wang was staying. While unloading wild animals, the shopkeeper saw the red deer and snow rabbit pheasant on the other sledge again, and the sledge sold after some bargaining was empty.

But Lu Xiaomi's purse was swollen like never before. She was afraid of losing it. She carefully folded the bank note given by Boss Wang and wrapped it in a handkerchief.

The rest of the ten taels of silver given by the innkeeper happened to be used for shopping, and Lao Yang voluntarily stayed in the dark alley to guard the few pieces of cotton cloth made by Ma Sengli and Boss Wang.Lu Xiaomi arrested Lu Wu as a laborer and went shopping around.

The purchase list was made last night, and now I took it out to show against the wind, and the brother and sister rushed to various grocery stores, grain and oil stores with "murderous spirit"...

Originally it was winter, the city was fine, and there were still people out and about. Every household in the villages outside the city was almost in a state of wives and children on the kang, and the sky fell and they didn't stand out.Therefore, at the beginning of winter, the business of each store is the best. After all, every household has to buy enough food and supplies to store for the winter and even the New Year.

But the shopkeeper of the grocery store saw too many big buyers, so he was still taken aback by Lu Xiaomi's madness today.

The best round-grained rice was sixty yuan a catty, and it was worth two catties of pork. She bought a hundred catties, and even glutinous rice cost twenty catties.Bai Shengsheng made [-] catties of fine flour, [-] catties of vegetable oil, [-] catties of lamp oil, and [-] catties of fine salt.All kinds of seasonings are also required, and soy sauce and vinegar are bought in jars.Expensive icing also comes in two catties, not to mention those large and small clay pots, casseroles, and bowls.

At the end of the purchase, the shopkeeper of the grocery store was a little embarrassed, and offered to add a few more flints and a few balls the size of a fist.

"Girl, I'll send you a few ground eggs to taste fresh."

As a result, Lu Xiaomi didn't even look at Huo Shi, but instead hugged those balls and didn't let go.For her, encountering this thing is simply a piece of good luck.

Others don't know, but she is too familiar with this little ball.Where is this ground egg, this is the most common vegetable in the previous life, potato, commonly known as potato!
