The eldest married as a merchant's wife

Chapter 163 Stir-Frying a Crock of Vinegar (2)
Going north from Qingjiangpu to Jinzhou Mansion, the further north you go, the more severe the plague and cold will be.There were few people in the market at noon, and the large bluestone slabs were washed clean and shiny by the autumn rain that came in the past few days.There were not many customers in a row of shops on the side of the road, and if someone from far away sneezed, the passers-by would be so frightened that they would cover their noses and mouths.This time was far less lively than last time, and everyone was afraid of being infected with the plague when they went out.

Holding the wine gourd, Xiao Hei muttered as he walked, "Brother, it's just a sign of his scarred face. We found the business by ourselves. We don't suffer if we give him [-]% of the profit for nothing?"

"Young master, please do me a favor, and reward the two of you for a bowl of hot soup."

There was a cold wind blowing on the long street, and a sick and weak beggar stretched out a broken bowl to beg for money. Geng Wu threw him two copper coins, and kept walking on his feet: "Since that scarred face can control these tricks, the platform behind him must It's not easy. Jinzhou Mansion has been their territory for a generation, and if he doesn't share it here, it will be even more difficult to deal with when he arrives at Yangukou. When he is away from home, he has to suffer some losses, and if he doesn't lose, he can't make a profit."

Xiao Hei thought for a while, then nodded helplessly: "Brother is right, after all, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake."

Just as he was talking, he had already walked to the busiest Fenghua Street.On the spacious bluestone road, the doors on both sides of the street are wide open, but the people in each store are deserted, except for the long queue in front of the pharmacy, and the business is very good.

When I went to a soy sauce and wine shop, the old shopkeeper was holding a feather duster in his hand, muttering absently while sweeping, and the customer didn't notice when he arrived at the door.

Geng Wu stepped into the store, raised his head and gave a bow: "Zhou Shibo is busy."

It was the former business manager of Lao Geng's family, who came out to do it alone after the Geng's family was raided.Knowing Geng Wu's face, the shopkeeper couldn't help but sighed: "Oh, the third young master is here. What else can I do, the current situation is the busiest for selling medicine and food. The other side, tsk, I can only Hit the tooth and stare blankly."

Seeing that Geng Wu is dressed in a short gown and long gown as a businessman today, his heroic appearance is outstanding, and he can't help but praise him for being young and talented, and he does not lose the demeanor of the old man back then.

The delicate face of a woman's Wanxiu flashed in front of her eyes, she used to hide her voice when she saw her, but after becoming a wife, her love for him became more and more warm day by day.She had to prepare all the packages for going out. It was funny to see her busy at the time, but she didn't want the outfits to match up with him.

Geng Wu tucked up the tenderness in his heart, quickly cupped his hands and said humbly: "Don't dare to do it, it's called Shibo's absurd praise. This time I came here to negotiate a business with Shibo, I don't know if Shibo is interested in making a profit together? "

Shopkeeper Zhou gave up his seat in the inner room while ordering his servants to watch tea, and asked, "Oh, what business is rare these days?"

A fireplace was burning in the living room, and a gust of hot air dissipated the chill.Geng Wu brushed the hem of his robe slightly, and let Li sit down: "It's not necessarily true. The business that the junior said is not unusual, but it can make Shibo double his income this winter."

"Hiss, is there such a good thing? The third young master might as well speak up." The old shopkeeper stroked his long beard and asked curiously, and invited Geng Wu to drink tea.

Geng Wu flicked the tea powder on the edge of the cup, Jun said with a smile, "It's very simple to say, it's just a word 'vinegar'. The junior has a hundred crocks of red vinegar in his hand, and this red vinegar is the best way to get rich this year. fundamental."

The shopkeeper lost interest when he heard that it was vinegar, and said in a hesitant tone: "Oh, third young master, this is really difficult for me to handle. Now that there is a famine in the north, a large group of victims of the disaster are heading south, and the government is so frightened that they have fenced off the wharf. These days, rice is so expensive that you can’t afford it, who has the extra thought to buy sauce and vinegar. You told me to take it, but who am I going to sell it to?”
