Chapter 316 Don't Expect Too Much
The latest website: In the evening, Mrs. Li made a good meal. The most important thing for Orion’s family is wild animals, especially during the autumn harvest season, the season when wild animals are the fattest. Mrs. Li bought two rabbits and came back to cook A big pot of rabbit meat.
Zhulan asked Mrs. Li to send a bowl to Liu's family.
Zhang Sanni was very nervous, she didn't want to expose her lie, but fortunately Li Shi saw her as if he didn't know her, Zhang Sanni felt relieved, after careful consideration, she realized that Zhou Yangshi must have told her.
She had already discovered that the Zhou family didn't like trouble, and they wouldn't take the initiative to cause trouble. Zhang Sanni was completely relieved.
After Zhulan waited for the Liu family to have dinner, they went to the main room of the Liu family with Zhou Shuren under an umbrella.
Old man Liu was smoking dry tobacco, and Mrs. Liu Zhang was picking up the soles of his shoes.
Liu Zhangshi came in facing Zhulan and said, "Madam Juren, is there something going on at this hour?"
Zhulan smiled and said: "I told the head of the bodyguard that our village is a famous hunter's village. It's winter and I want to find some high-quality leather, so I came here to ask if your family has any Waiting for the fur."
Mrs. Liu Zhang couldn't be the master, so she looked at the master.
Old man Liu put down the pipe in his hand, "Would Mrs. Juren want fox fur or mink fur?"
As soon as Zhulan heard that the Liu family had good furs, "Fox furs and mink furs are fine."
Old man Liu said to his wife, "Take it out."
Liu Zhang put down the sole of the shoe in his hand, "Hey!"
Old man Liu explained: "Last year the market was good, and the extruded furs were sold last winter. It was rare to find fox furs in a year. This year, I was lucky to hunt two. Juren's wife will see if there is anything she can fancy. "
Old man Liu hopes to sell it. It’s luck for these hunters to get good furs. They hope to make more money in a year, but the fur shops in the city are the ones who bully these hunters, even if the market is good. The price given will not be too high, and they also want to sell it separately, but the stall was either snatched away, or the price was lowered by some housekeepers, so they might as well sell it directly to the shop!
The village likes the passing caravans, but it's a pity that few stop, but every time they stop, they will sell some furs. It's a pity that they buy too few, but the price is still good.
Mrs. Liu Zhang took out the fur,
Zhulan fell in love with the two fox skins immediately, both were red fox skins, and there were two high-quality mink skins. Zhulan asked the price, "How do you sell these?"
Old man Liu knocked on it with a dry cigarette, "I don't want it to be too expensive. It's cheaper than in the shop. A fox fur is twenty taels a piece, and a mink fur is twelve taels a piece."
Zhulan recalled the price of fur shops in Pingzhou, the top-quality fox fur was thirty taels a piece, and the second-class mink fur cost ten taels of silver.
The calculation in Zhulan's heart was loud, this is much cheaper than the shop, and thinking about the furrier's purchase price is cheaper, this business is really huge profits, no wonder it is a monopoly, "I want these four, look who else Do you have high-quality fox fur? I want to buy some more."
Old man Liu smoked the dry tobacco again, "No more, there are a lot of rabbit skins in the village, and foxes are hard to kill. This year, our family beat the fox skins, and the others sold them last year."
Zhulan's desire to save a few more tickets was shattered, but it was good enough to buy four, and it would be good to keep them as dowry or gifts for the girls at home.
Zhou Shuren kept talking, staring at the old man from the corner of his eye, and said with the corner of his mouth hooked, "There should be better fur at home."
Old man Liu has more dealings with businessmen, but rarely with scholars. Although there are scholars who pick him up every year, scholars have always been aloof, and their family has also borrowed from Mr. Juren. His impression is that Mr. Juren always holds his head up. go.
This was the first time he had spoken to Mr. Juren, he was stunned for a moment, digesting what Mr. Juren said, old man Liu squinted his eyes and thought to himself, how did Mr. Juren see it?
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, we bought it sincerely. If there is a good leather, we will definitely give you a fair price."
Old man Liu winked at the old woman, "Master Juren is a scholar, I can trust him."
Mrs. Liu Zhang was very happy. The price of the four pieces of skins was twenty taels more than that of the merchants who bought them!
Zhulan waited for a while before seeing the furs Liu Zhang took out, two white fox skins, Zhulan blinked her eyes, it was really white fox skins, eighty-two pieces in a fur shop in Pingzhou, there are When you want to buy it, there is no stock!
Old man Liu was depressed. How could Master Juren and Mrs. Juren be so expressionless? Yes, I haven't seen it since then, and the price is seventy taels a piece."
He didn't dare to let people know that he bought it for the merchants who bought it. He must lower the price, and he can sell it for forty taels.
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren nodded invisibly, these two rare white fox furs are good gifts if used well.
Zhulan spent two hundred and forty taels to buy six furs, and deliberately emptied a box for furs.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and we could continue our journey the next day. After breakfast, Mrs. Li took Xinghua to pack her luggage.
The Liu family made a lot of money from Zhou Jia last night. Liu Zhang made buns in the morning and specially gave them to Zhulan Road. The stuffing of the buns was wild pork and cabbage.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren got into the carriage at the end, Zhulan opened the curtain of the carriage and looked back at Liu's house, just in time to see Zhang Sanni salute to her, she understood Zhang Sanni's salute to her.
Zhulan smiled, this girl is a rare person who can see the reality clearly, and she is also a person who knows how to seize opportunities, Zhulan put down the curtain, and the girls she met through time travel, Zhang Sanni and Wang Rong, would never go People who hope for an illusory future, but grasp the reality, so they can work out their own happiness step by step in a difficult environment.
When she went back to Zhoujia Village this time, she also met Wang Rong. Wang Rong was calm and peaceful, with an uninterrupted smile on his face. Even the Zhou Wang family praised him.
This morning, she was also observing the Liu family. The Liu family is a rare family with a kind heart. Although Zhang Sanni's husband-in-law is not outstanding, he can help Zhang Sanni carry water.
In ancient times, if you can find a husband who loves you, the future of a woman will not be bad.
Zhulan leaned her head on Zhou Shuren's shoulder, lifted Zhou Shuren's hand, and put her own on top of it. The big hand held the small hand, and Zhulan curled her mouth, "It's good to have you."
Zhou Shuren shook his hand, "I should be right about what I said."
He thought more than once, if Zhulan didn't save him, what would happen to him? died? Or time travel?
Zhulan smiled and didn't speak again, Zhou Shuren also smiled, and clenched Zhulan's hand.
Because it was raining and it was a mountain road, the carriage was not driving fast, and it was barely out of the mountain at night, and there was still a distance from the post station. Fortunately, it was out of the mountain, even if it rained again, there would be no danger.
The subsequent journey was not so smooth, the autumn harvest came, and the rain increased. After several heavy rains, the carriage was also very difficult to travel.
When Zhulan is free, she will lie on the side of the car window and watch, watching the farmers harvesting crops in the muddy fields. In ancient times, there was no machinery, and it was all manual work. After a few heavy rains, the farmers worked even harder.
She should be thankful that it is not a disaster year, at least this year is another bumper harvest year, although the autumn harvest has more rainfall.
Zhulan is worried about her hometown, "I don't know if it's raining in my hometown? And counting the days, Xuemei will be confinement too."
