A few days later, the Huai'an store sent a shipment of goods back, along with a letter written by Zou Sheng.
Huo Xizhan’s letter came to read.
I learned that Gong Ziyi went to the shop to see it. Now the shop is covered by the Gong family, and the business is very good. There are no gangsters who bother them all the time, and fees and taxes no longer come to collect frequently.
Huo Xi was very happy when she read the letter. Gong Ziyi's thigh was still very comfortable.
The letter said that the spices had just been shipped to Linqing, and they were favored by merchants in the north. Because they offered a good price, they weighed the various costs of transporting them to the north, so they sold them all to the other party and sent the banknotes back with the letter.
.
Huo Xi very much agrees with Zou Sheng and Shopkeeper Niu's decision. Guangfeng Water does not have a shop in Shuntian Mansion now, so it is quite difficult to transport the goods from the south. Even if it reaches the north, it cannot be sold in bulk, and it still has to find merchants in the north in bulk.
purchased.
Guangfengshui has not yet established a commercial road to the north, and lacks manpower and material resources, let alone financial support.
Since the price offered by the other party is right, it might as well be resold in full in Linqing.
Huo Xi looked at the banknote in her hand and was very happy.
She had originally taken 10,000 taels from Mu Yan to buy a shipload of spices, and now that she could double the profit in such a short period of time, she was very satisfied.
The next day Huo Xi made an appointment with Kan Er and handed him the account book and banknotes.
Kan Er flipped through the account book, holding a thick stack of silver notes, his eyes widened: "How much money did you make?"
Huo Xi smiled: "This is because we don't have a shop in the north. If we had a shop, we could earn two or three times the profit. We are short of manpower now, and all we do is seek stable business."
Huo Xi was also a little helpless. She had no money, no one, no business, no land, and couldn't put many of her ideas into practice.
"I'm going to show it to my young master right now. I'm afraid the young master will be very happy."
After class at noon, at the entrance of the Imperial College, Mu Yan was walking out with a few classmates.
"A new restaurant has opened in the inner city. The decoration is quite unique. I heard the food is good. How about we go there to eat?" Xu Sanbao lives up to his reputation for delicious food. Where can I find delicious food?
Be the first to know.
"Let's go, let's go up there." Chen Yan and others were busy cheering.
Mu Yan was about to agree, but he looked up and saw Li Yi and Kan Er waiting at the door. Kan Er waved to him with a smile on his face, and said, "Let's wait for another day. The servants are here to look for me. I'm afraid there is something going on at home."
Several classmates took a look at Li Yikaner and saw that his family was looking for him, so they had no choice but to forget it.
Everyone knows that his grandmother has returned to Beijing, and Princess Chang Ning and her consort have also returned to Beijing to stay for a long time. I heard that the princess is not in good health, and the Mu family may have a lot of things going on recently.
Just as they were about to go their separate ways, they saw the carriage of Marquis Yongkang waiting on the other side.
He thought that Xu Sanbao would not be able to go, but his maid only stuffed a food box for him and ran away. When he looked up, he saw that his maid also stuffed a food box for Mu Yan's attendant.
.
Everyone followed Mu Yan's gaze and looked towards the carriage. They saw that the curtain that had been raised slightly was immediately covered, and a catkin shrank back as if frightened. Everyone laughed.
Seeing Mu Yan get in the car and leave, everyone joked about Xu Sanbao: "It seems you are going to become Mu Yan's uncle, hahaha."
Xu Sanbao scratched his head and looked at his carriage and Mu Yan's carriage leaving. He also laughed. If Mu Yan could like his sister, of course he would be happy and happy to see it happen.
In the carriage, Mu Yan glared at Kan Er fiercely.
Kan Er avoided his eyes: "Master, I, I refused, but the maid forced her way over. I can't have sex with a woman, right? Besides, there are so many people watching, and the Yongkang Hou Shizi also
I'm watching, but I have to save some face for him."
Mu Yan was so angry that he raised his leg and gave him a look: "Are you saving face for me? I just have ten mouths and I entered the Imperial College. Can I tell you clearly?"
"Why can't you explain clearly? Let's just say that the young master is on good terms with Prince Xu, and he just took part in it."
Mu Yan was so angry that he raised his leg to kick him again, but Kan Er dodged him. Li Yi couldn't help but laugh.
Mu Yan's eyes were filled with fire: "If you have something to say, go ahead! So many classmates are friendly with Xu Sanbao, why didn't anyone else give one to me, so why did they just give me one?"
Kan Er didn't take it seriously: "Let others say whatever they like. The young master won't lose a piece of meat. Besides, with the young lady from the Xu family blocking the way, there will be fewer people coming to Madam to inquire about the young master's marriage."
"You still said that!"
Kan Er immediately tightened his lips and stopped talking.
After a long while, seeing that the young master was still angry, he put a smile on his face and took out a thick envelope from his arms: "Young master, look, we have something happy to do."
"I'm so angry with you, but you're still happy!"
"Young master, please take a look. Miss Huo gave it to me. The young master must be very happy to see it."
Hearing that it was from Huo Xi, Mu Yan glared at him and took it. He opened it and saw a thick stack of banknotes, and raised his eyebrows.
After counting, there were sixteen thousand three hundred taels. Li Yi also widened his eyes.
"She sold the spices?"
Kan Er nodded: "Master, are you happy? In just a short time, you have earned back more than six thousand taels!"
Mu Yan counted the banknotes without raising his head: "Have you read the account book?"
Kan Er had an expression of disbelief: "Master, do you want to do this..."
Seeing Mu Yan looking at him, he nodded quickly: "Have a look. Madam Huo has been busy for so long and only took two thousand five hundred taels. Young Master, you took so much, but you still have the nerve to ask me about my account book."
"
Mu Yan put the banknote back into the envelope: "My money was blown by the wind?"
Kan Er curled his lips and said nothing.
Mu Yan looked at the envelope and tapped it on his bent knee.
Seeing that the young master didn't speak, Kaner started to ramble.
"Mrs. Huo also said it was a pity, saying that she didn't have a shop in the north. If there was a shop with manpower, it would be at least two or three times more profitable to transport the spices to the north. Where can they just resell them to merchants in the north like they do now?
…”
"Mrs. Huo also said that she wanted to make some money to buy land to grow mulberry and grain, but she didn't have any money. We didn't have any money before, but after snatching some of their business from the Jun family, we now
I’m not short of money anymore…”
Just as he was talking enthusiastically, Mu Yan hit him hard on the head with an envelope: "Are you mine or hers? What benefit did she give you? You said half a lot of words for her!"
"Of course I belong to the young master. But Miss Huo is so pitiful. She should have been raised in the high-walled courtyard of the Marquis Mansion, but now she has to do business as a merchant in order to make a living. It's not easy.
ah."
"Is it easy for you, young master? Isn't it easy for you, young master? Before you go to bed every day, your young master wonders if he will be able to see the sun the next day. Is it easy for you, young master?"
Li Yi was shocked, twitching in distress, and looked at the young master.
Kan Er pounced on him directly: "Master, Master, it's not easy for you. Kan Er swears to live and die with Master."
"Get started!" Mu Yan was disgusted.
Kan Er moved his buttocks, thinking about the young master's journey, which was full of thorns and scars, and his eyes were full of heartache.
But he said: "Master, why don't you and Mrs. Huo get together as a couple? You are both pitiful people. Then Miss Xu's family and Miss Mei's Ding's family, how can they understand your plight, Master?"
I only saw the bright side of the young master."
Mu Yan was so angry that he took the envelope and slapped him hard several times: "Your young master is blind and hungry, so he only chooses a little girl in his early ten years. Does he have two ounces of meat?"
Li Yi watched happily as Kan Er ran away with his head in his hands.
Mu Yan was tired of taking pictures and glared at him angrily, then threw the envelope to Kan Er again.
