Rebirth of First Daughter

The shopkeeper of the fur shop of Yongsheng business is a gentle looking man in his thirties.

Seeing what they were wearing, the shopkeeper knew: "you two don't know what leather to sell?"

First, take out the six pieces of ordinary animal skins, and ask the shopkeeper for the price.

The shopkeeper checked carefully and said, "I'll give you twenty-six taels of silver at most for these six skins."

The price is twice that of the town.

Seeing that the price offered by the shopkeeper was fair, tie Kui lowered his voice and said, "we still have a white tiger skin."

The shopkeeper is not surprised at all. The eyesight to be a shopkeeper is not comparable to that of ordinary people. Seeing that tie Kui was carrying the basket on his back, he knew that there must be something good in it: "please come inside." This tiger skin is very easy to sell, but it's not easy to get, so it has always been a valuable but no market.

After entering the small room, the Iron Tiger took down the basket and took out the tightly wrapped tiger skin.

After the tiger skin was spread out, the shopkeeper nodded secretly. Tiger skin is hard to find, and the skin of white tiger is hard to find. This tiger skin is well preserved and well handled, with almost no defects.

Tie Kui asked: "shopkeeper, give me a price!"

After pondering for a moment, the shopkeeper said, "two hundred sixty-two." Two hundred sixty-two is a huge sum of money for ordinary people.

Tie Kui laughed: "shopkeeper, are you bullying me? I have never seen the world. Such a good white tiger skin is worth at least 13400 taels of silver in the capital. " He had a classmate's brother, and he had a dress made of tiger skin. The tiger skin was far worse than this one. It cost 800 Liang silver.

The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He took a look at tie Kui and said with a smile, "I don't know how much the capital is, but I'm sure there's no higher bid than us in Shengjing."

Tie Kui said: "this is our father and son's life in exchange, less than six hundred taels do not sell."

The shopkeeper didn't get angry either. He charged a lot and paid back: "I won't talk about the freight, labor and shop expenses from here to the capital. It's just that bandits are rampant along the way. How dare you sell tiger skin in the capital? Even if you get a high price in the capital, you may not be able to get home safely. "

"Two hundred and sixty-two must not be sold. It's too low. We also really want to sell, you give a real price

After a bit of bargaining, the shopkeeper finally said, "at most, 362. This is the highest price I can offer. Little brother, if we have more, we won't make much money. " There must be some profits, but they will be less than expected.

Tiekui still thinks it's too low, but he also knows that the buyer has a great pressure on the price. Going to other homes may not be more than here.

After thinking about it, tie Kui asked, "Daddy, he said that he could offer three hundred and sixty taels of silver at most. What do you think, daddy? "

This tiger skin is only 1340 taels of silver at most in the town. Now it can be sold to 362, almost three times more than in the town. Tiehu has no reason to refuse: "yes."

At this time, someone outside said: "shopkeeper, the goods have been loaded."

Hearing this, tie Kui suddenly put in a word: "shopkeeper, I don't know where to send your goods?"

"The capital."

Smell speech, tie Kui eyes instantly lit up: "shopkeeper, we just want to go home, can you give us a ride."

"It's only five days from here to Anshan to rent a carriage. Our caravan is slow, and it will take about ten days to arrive. " Tie Kui said a pure Mandarin, and the shopkeeper couldn't figure out where he came from. But as soon as Tiehu spoke, he knew that the father and son were from Anshan.

Tie Kui said with a smile, "it costs twenty Liang silver to rent a carriage from here to Anshan. Our family only needs four or five taels of silver for a year. "

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "I thought you were afraid of bandits!" There is no denying that the father and son are trying to save money, but they think it is safe to follow them in the caravan.

"Shopkeeper, you business people don't always pursue convenience with others and convenience with yourself. What's more, I've given you such a good piece of leather. I can earn a lot. "

The shopkeeper thought tie Kui was very interesting. He didn't look like a child at all. Then he asked with a smile, "they are going to start soon. Don't catch up."

"Yes."

Xiaonian is not only intelligent, but also knows how to advance and retreat. He has strong eyesight. He must be a character when he grows up. Therefore, the shopkeeper is also willing to sell tie Kui a good one: "this money, are you going to want silver or silver?"

Tie Kui said, "give us thirty-five taels of gold, thirty taels of silver and six taels of broken silver." Although I went back with the caravan, it was too eye-catching to bring so much silver.

The shopkeeper was very considerate. He gave thirty-five gold ingots of one or two weight and three silver ingots of ten or two weight. The silver pieces were in a blue purse.

"In the future, we will have good leather. I hope you can send it to us to guarantee a fair price."

Tie Kui clasped his hands and said, "sure."

Later, the shopkeeper took father and son to talk with the odd part of the caravan. The leader glanced at them and said, "we must obey our orders on the way, otherwise I will drive you out at any time."

Tie Kui said hastily, "this is natural."

Yongsheng company is very famous. Every time their caravan delivers goods, there are escorts. Not to mention ordinary bandits, even famous bandits dare not touch them.

Fortunately, the caravan passed by their county, and father and son spent the night in the county.

The next day, it was dawn, and the father and son rushed home. On the way, I met a meat stall. Thinking that Chunni likes to mix rice with lard, tie Kui wrapped the slate oil on the stall.

By the time I got home, it was evening. Seeing the smoke burning over the house, Tiehu said with a smile, "just in time for dinner."

The door is locked. Tiehu knocks on the door and shouts, "Chunxiang, Chunni, open the door quickly."

Chunni ran out of the kitchen and saw that they were very happy: "Daddy, ADI, you are finally back." She knew that they had gone to Shengjing, and she had been worried since the day she set out. Fortunately, the two returned safely.

Father and son entered the house, Chunni closed the door and locked it. Two water home to the mother-in-law over this period of time, they will lock the door at home. The other sisters who knock on the door won't open it unless they are very familiar with each other.

Looking at father and son's baskets full, Chunni asked, "what did you buy?"

Tie Kui handed Chunni a big bag of things wrapped in oil paper: "this is what you have been thinking about."

Open to see is suet, Chunni is not happy: "I now with elder sister will squeeze it." With that, he quickly walked out with the 20 catties of suet in his arms.

Tie Kui can't help smiling.

After dinner, tie Kui handed each of the two sisters a small wooden box the size of their thumb: "elder sister, second sister, let's see if you like it or not."

Chunxiang's is a pair of clove earrings, Chunni's is a pair of gourd earrings.

Chunni is in charge of the family and has been in touch with silver. Looking at these two earrings, Chunni asked, "brother, is this silver?"

See tie Kui nodded, Chunni can't help complaining: "brother, you are really, waste this money to do what." That's what I said, but my eyebrows and eyes were bent with laughter.

Chunxiang was also very happy: "thank you, brother." It's the first time I've seen such beautiful jewelry.

In addition to jewelry, tie Kui also bought a pair of water red fine cloth to make clothes for the two sisters. In more than a month, it's time to prepare new clothes for the new year.

It's too late to put everything in order. The next day, father and son went to the village head's house.

First with the village head and Tong's solemn thanks, and then sent a red sandalwood colored cloth.

As soon as Tong saw this material, he fell in love with it: "how much is this material?"

"One or two silver." Afraid that they would not believe it, tie Kui said, "we came back with the caravan. They often bring goods to the cloth shop, so the price is very cheap. " It's right to take the preferential price, but after the discount, the cloth is also twenty Liang silver.

Seeing that the village head wanted to talk, Tong said with a smile, "I'll take the money for you." This material is not available in town.

Knowing that Tong really liked the material, the village head took a puff of dry tobacco and asked, "tiger son, can you take out seventy Liang silver?"

Without waiting for Tiehu to ask, the village head explained, "next door, old man Chen's family wants to sell ten mu of superior farmland. However, they are more expensive. Ten mu of land costs 65 liang of silver. " Plus the cost of ownership transfer, it costs about seventy Liang silver.

Iron Tiger surprised, said: "nine grandfather, you can now take me to see this ten Mu field." It's really a first-class field, even if it's a little expensive.

On hearing this, the village head knew that tie Hu could get such a large sum of money.

This ten Mu field is connected together, which is a good field, and it is only half an hour away from Tiejia village.

After watching it, Tiehu said he wanted to buy it.

Old man Chen is waiting for the money to be used. When he hears that iron tiger wants to buy it, he immediately goes to the Yamen with him to transfer the ownership.

After paying the money and passing the household, the ten Mu field becomes the land of Iron Tiger. Holding this ten Mu field wedge, Iron Tiger's eyes are a little hot. No matter how hard he hunts, he is in danger. With a house and property, we have security.

He bought ten acres of good farmland at one go. As soon as it spread, the whole Tiejia village was a sensation. It's said that Tiehu must have made a fortune when he went abroad this time. Otherwise, how can you come up with such a large sum of money in one breath.

Some people secretly spread bad words, saying that the father and son went out to do something shameful.

After hearing the rumor, Aunt Li quickly asked Chunni, "what did your father and brother do this time If you know what father and son are going to do, you can refute the rumor.

Chunni said: "my father hunted a leopard last year. My brother said it's too bad to sell it in the town. If you sell it in Shengjing, you can get a high price. This time they went to Shengjing to sell the leopard skin. "

Aunt Li's heart leaped and she could not help asking, "how much silver have you sold?"

"Plus a few other skins, they sold a hundred taels of silver." With that, Chunni said with a sad face: "my father and brother spend too much money, but they spend more than ten Liang silver on selling some money, buying cloth and jewelry."

Aunt Li thought that the leopard skin she had hunted had only sold for twenty-six liang of silver. She was in no mood at all. Casually perfunctory Chunni two, went back.

When I got home, I told father Li, "I knew we had sold the leopard skin in Shengjing."

Father Li scolded: "now it's a mess outside. There are bandits everywhere. Huzi, they are lucky to meet a shop to deliver goods to the capital. They come back with other people's caravans. Otherwise, who knows? "

After hearing this, Aunt Li felt more comfortable.

After the iron family bought the field, there will be a door-to-door matchmaker for Chunxiang, and the conditions will be much better than before. To this iron tiger can't help feeling, or iron Kui see through.

After dinner, a family of four sat in the main room. Iron tiger asked Chunxiang: "after the new year, you will be 15 years old. It's really time to talk about others. Chunxiang, tell me what kind of person you want to marry? "

When Chunxiang heard this, she bowed her head in shame. After half a sound, he said, "I listen to my father."

No matter how Tiehu asked, Chunxiang said the same thing. Helpless, iron tiger can only let her go back to the house.

Tie Kui said: "my father, my elder sister has a soft temper. I have to find him a family where his mother-in-law is charitable and his family is harmonious." Otherwise, Chunxiang will be bullied.

After a communication between father and son, Tiehu went to Aunt Li and said, "Chunxiang has a soft temper. I want to find a mother-in-law charity family for him." Of course, the future son-in-law must be practical and capable. If this condition is not met, nothing else can be said.

Aunt Li thought it was comprehensive and said with a smile, "OK, I'll tell matchmaker Chen these words tomorrow." Matchmaker Chen is the most famous matchmaker in this area.

After tiekui and Tiehu brought home 600 Jin of grain, Chunni was very happy. On that day, I made a meal of oil dumplings.

After eating, tie Kui praised: "second sister, your cooking is much better than before."

"I've been learning to cook with my elder sister all this time," Chunni said triumphantly When Chunxiang gets married, it's her turn to cook. We can't make a meal at that time. If we don't eat it, we'll lose face.

At night, tie Kui and tie Hu said, "Dad, I want to study in spring next year."

Iron Tiger Leng next nod agreed: "good." It's also the family's poverty that has delayed the child. If he doesn't come to his home as soon as he comes to junior high school, he will be sent to study. Maybe he will be a scholar in the future!

Hear tie Kui said to go to the town to study, Iron Tiger did not agree: "the town school is not good, to study we go to the county."

Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Dad, I want to study, but I don't want to be blind."

"As long as you can read it, dad will sell his house and land."

Tie Kui said with a smile: "Daddy, I just want to recognize a few words, but I didn't want to get a title in the past." He didn't want to be an official in the imperial examination. Now the emperor is fatuous and the officials are corrupt. Scientific research has become a tool for those officials to make money. Most of the scholars who passed the examination were paid for. Nowadays, the world is in chaos. Joining the army is the chance for poor people to get ahead. Of course, the accompanying risks are also great. And he can't stay in this small mountain village forever, so he can only take this road.
