Chapter 741 The people who went to the capital are back
The old man said, "You don't need a big meal at night. Just make a few bowls of noodles."
Yes, this is the cheapest. The noodle soup can fill your stomach and warm your body. It was so cold outside during the journey that you almost froze to death.
Zhou Guo saw that the old man had lost a lot of weight, was darker and thinner, but he looked more energetic and full of vigor, which was very different from before.
I knew he made the right decision this time.
They lost a lot of weight even though they had a lot of money. Almost everyone lost weight. It was also because they had traveled thousands of miles, sleeping in the open air, so they could not go on without losing weight.
Several people talked about what happened along the way, and the whole family listened fascinated.
By the time the group had finished their meal, it was already late at night.
Qian Duo took the others to the farm, and the old man took a bath and went to bed.
Zhou Guo has been worrying about why this group of people haven't returned these days, fearing that something unexpected might happen on the road. Sometimes he is so worried that he can't sleep. Logically, they should have returned.
Now that I'm back, I feel relieved and slept the best night ever.
She got up the next day and didn't go anywhere. She just stayed at home and waited until noon when the old man finally got up.
Li's lunch is ready too.
Zhou Guo took out the crab sauce he had prepared earlier.
The old man was curious, "What is this?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Master, you didn't eat the crabs this year, so here is the crab sauce I prepared for you. It tastes great whether you mix it with rice or steamed buns."
"Really?" The old man's eyes lit up. "Crabs can be made into sauce? It must be delicious!"
Li smiled and said, "They said they made it for you. We can't eat it until you eat it. We haven't eaten it yet. Sir, please try it."
The old man was very happy. "I didn't expect you to prepare crab sauce. When I was on the road, I was still regretting that I couldn't eat crabs this year. You are really good at making crab sauce."
Zhou Guo said: "Master, please try it."
The old man took a bite and nodded repeatedly, "Hmm, it's delicious. Although it can't be compared with the ready-made ones, the taste is not bad. It has that flavor."
Wu Ya said, "Eat as much as you like, sir."
The old man was shocked when he saw her big belly. "Are you going to give birth? Why is it so big?"
Wu Ya smiled and said, "It will take more than a month."
The old man nodded. "I rushed as fast as I could to get back before this, and luckily I made it in time."
Zhou Guo asked, "Master, did the trip go smoothly? Did you sell everything? Did you meet Mr. Qin San?"
The old man said dissatisfiedly: "I, your master, have been escorting for decades. How could it not be going well? Everything has been sold!"
He continued, "We arrived in the capital and found it to be so prosperous and crowded! It's simply incomparable to the north. With the souvenirs you gave us, Mr. Qin San was easy to find. When he saw that we really had them delivered, he was very happy to take them. A pound of goat mushrooms cost 1,400 wen and a pound of flower mushrooms cost 1,400 wen, so he took them all."
Zhou Guo pondered and said, "Since the capital is so good, we can sell them even without Mr. Qin San. These mountain delicacies will not be difficult to sell in the capital."
The old man ate the crab sauce steamed bun and said vaguely: "It can be sold, but it's not that easy, right? Do I have to sell it everywhere? I am not that kind of person. Besides, selling it to him can save a lot of trouble!"
"That's right." Zhou Guo asked again: "Are those leathers easy to sell?"
Speaking of this, the old man smiled, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he said excitedly: "It sells very well, it sells very well. A fox skin with the best quality and pure color only costs two or three strings of cash here, and the best ones only cost twenty or thirty strings of cash. But in the capital, it will be sold for hundreds of strings of cash. Many people are scrambling to buy it, and there are not enough to sell!"
The whole family was stunned!
"How many hundreds of coins does a fox skin cost??! How come the people in the capital are so rich!! They spent so much just to buy a piece of skin, they could have bought a mountain here!!"
Li couldn't understand it. These people were too good at spending money. They simply didn't treat money as if it were real.
Zhou Mi said, "Why don't you all like to go to the capital? Even if you go there to beg, you can probably get more than you would anywhere else."
The old man said, "We sold a lot of the leather you asked us to buy, and we also sold a lot of the contraband they brought in."
Zhou Guo asked with a smile: "Master, how much did you sell?"
The old man didn't answer. "How can I tell you this? If you know, you will have to worry about my little things all day long."
After dinner she went to the farm.
Qian Duo was already waiting and handed her an account book. "All the money we earned and spent this time is on this. Boss, please take a close look."
Zhou Guo took it and flipped through it carefully. After reading it, he nodded and praised: "Not bad, not bad. Thank you for your hard work in the past few months. Although the road has not been smooth, when you are away from home, everything will go smoothly."
Looking at these people, he smiled and said, "Well done, everyone can get an extra year's salary this time. I have already given the order to slaughter pigs and sheep tonight, and we can drink and eat meat to our heart's content."
Now that this road has been paved, all future goods can be sent there.
Even if the toll is a little more expensive, it's worth it.
When Qian Duo and his group heard that they could slaughter pigs and sheep at night and receive an extra year's salary, they raised their hands and shouted that the money they received this time was not low.
The original salary was two strings of cash a month, but after six months, it was twelve strings of cash, and the monthly salary for the year was twenty-four strings of cash! !
They can get thirty-six strings of cash this time!
Enough to build a house!
The key is that there is also the profit from selling contraband goods, which is a lot of money. It is really worthwhile to make a trip!
Before it gets dark, the farm is already bustling with people, as if there is a wedding going on.
The Zhou family didn’t even cook dinner and just ate together.
Wu Ya was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to stay in a crowded place, so Zhou Gu picked some vegetables and meat for her and took them back to the house where the couple ate.
Zhou Guo made a lot of money on this trip, earning several thousand taels from thousands of kilograms of sheep mushrooms and flower mushrooms.
The bulk of the money was still the skins. Although good skins were scarce, they were expensive. This trip of hundreds of skins brought in nearly 25,000 taels!
Of course it cost a lot. In total, I spent about four thousand taels, most of which was paid for tolls.
And the last cartloads of cloth, tea and wine they brought back have not been sold yet. If they were sold, they would probably fetch several thousand taels.
Especially when it comes to tea and wine, the old man is very picky and only buys the best tea.
I used part of the money I earned this time to buy these things. I estimate that I can earn at least 6,000 strings of cash from these things!
This business can still be done, but it requires courage.
Well, we need people, otherwise the bandits along the way can wipe them out.
The next day she took these things to the provincial capital to sell them. Since they came from the capital, they were all good stuff. Although they were expensive, they were easy to sell. Several large carts of stuff were sold out in two days.
All these things are put outside the mountain product shop for sale. Although the stall does not look good, fortunately there are people who know the goods, and there are not many things, so they are sold out quite quickly.
