Xiduo has been idle for several days. She still gets so much wages every day, and she feels guilty for taking it. She doesn't do much work, she has meat for lunch, she is full, and her wife still pays her so much wages.
It feels like a sin to hold it.
But that afternoon, she had no time to think about it. A lot of mushrooms, flowers and other things were brought to the workshop. She washed and washed them, not even drinking water.
When the work was over, I got forty coins!
And it's not subsidy money, it's just wages she gets for doing work. Xiduo was so happy that she almost burst into tears.
That night, Huo Xi had a good sleep. Before dawn the next day, as usual, he sent people outside the city to collect the goods farther away.
Then he went to Sihai Bank to sit in charge and competed with Jun to raise the price, which was even higher than our daily price.
Today we received a lot of goods of all kinds, not only mushrooms, flowers, dried fruits, cotton, linen, and silkworm cocoons, but also many other goods. We ordered people to dress up as farmers and ordinary people of various Yi tribes, and when the price reached the highest, they would sell them back to the Jun family.
The difference in price for various goods today was a profit of nearly one thousand taels!
Huo Xi was very satisfied.
For seven or eight days in a row, the Jun family earned nearly ten thousand taels of silver, without Jun Mingzhang finding out anything was wrong.
Jun Mingzhang was very happy every day when he listened to the manager talking about how many goods were piled in the warehouse. If he received more goods, it meant that he could not receive the goods.
Isn’t this worth having fun?
Jun Mingzhang was very happy, thinking that he was about to defeat Huo Xi, so that she could no longer do business in Kunming City and was about to close down. He was waiting to see her jokes.
But those merchants who had good relations with the Jun family were miserable.
Jun Mingzhang pitted the entire Jun family against the Crown Prince's wife. He had an eldest nephew behind him, the eldest young master of the Duke's mansion. What did they have? If they catered to the Jun family, they would offend the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's wife.
Although the Crown Prince will stay in the capital in the future, he is the Crown Prince after all, and he is the one who will rule the whole of Yunnan in the future. They are also afraid of the Crown Prince's revenge.
Besides, they have collected so much goods that they won’t be able to use it. Could they still be like the Jun family, looking for chefs everywhere to open a pancake shop, make sauce, and compete with the Jun family for business?
Whatever the price is, I will send it to Jun’s family to sell it at the same price. In the end, Jun’s family doesn’t want it!
Jun Mingzhang doesn’t want it!
The manager of the Jun family said that the workshop has not yet opened and is still being prepared. Otherwise, if there is not so much goods, the goods they receive are still waiting to get moldy in the warehouse. Can they still accept them?
The merchants were dumbfounded.
The bosses and shopkeepers were yelling at Mr. Jun in the shop for being unkind. This meant they were asking them to use their own money to accompany the Jun family and his wife in a fight. What benefit did they gain?
"Master, since Mr. Jun said so, why don't we also find a master to make pancakes and mushroom sauce?"
As soon as the shopkeeper made the suggestion, he was hit on the forehead by the boss, "We are a lumber shop, making gourds and sauces! You and I will not go to heaven!"
The shopkeeper covered his head and did not dare to speak. Seeing that his boss was getting angry and running around in circles, he couldn't help but suggest: "How about we secretly sell it to the Crown Prince's wife?"
The owner paused, "Sell it to the Crown Prince's wife? At what price?"
The shopkeeper stopped talking.
The owner also knew that he had asked a stupid question, so he held his chest and felt the blood flowing from his heart. He also knew that the Crown Prince's wife would not accept their goods at the original price, and she did not know how much the price would be reduced.
Everyone who does business always buys in at a low price and sells out at a high price. How can he buy in at a high price and sell at a low price like him?
Oops, my heart hurts. I can't breathe.
"Boss, this is better than rotting in our warehouse."
The boss insists on agreeing to Mr. Jun to follow the Crown Prince's wife, how can he get all the benefits. How can it end without some blood? The shopkeeper cursed in his heart, but did not dare to speak out.
But soon he was hit again, "You idiot, I want you to put up a sign, but I don't want you to actually receive the goods! Although our price is the same as Jun's, you won't order the guys to find fault and suppress the price? The price is the same.
Come on, will they still sell it to us? Why don’t they just pick it up and sell it to Jun’s for a high price?”
"You idiot, idiot! You don't even know how to find faults in an egg! You can't go through their goods, pick them up, pick them up, dislike their goods, and refuse to pay. You don't know how to do these things? Ah? No.
Yes? You idiot, you still want me to teach you these methods!" The boss cursed.
It's all these idiots who made him, a man in the lumber business, collect so many mushrooms and flowers that the warehouse was filled with cotton!
The shopkeeper was hit all over his head and didn't dare to hide.
"Go quickly! I'm angry just looking at you, this idiot. If you don't hurry up, contact the Crown Prince's wife and sell the goods quietly! Sold them all!"
"Yes, yes, little one, go right here."
Like the lumber shop, the businesses that Jun Mingzhang has joined forces with are also discussing countermeasures.
Although I know I will lose a lot, it is worth losing a small amount of money if I can secretly betray the crown prince's wife and not let the crown prince suppress and retaliate against them.
Therefore, each merchant secretly sold the collected goods to Huo Xi at a low price without telling Jun.
Caiyun Courtyard closed its doors and became busy again.
Many people on the wall left, but those who stayed behind were all loyal ones. Everyone was careful in their words and deeds, and no news was revealed. The people sent by Jun Mingzhang to inquire about it were surprised that they didn't find out any information.
Standing guard at the door, I saw the craftsmen of Caiyun Courtyard looking sad when they came out every day. I thought they had no work to do and no wages.
I was so happy that I went back to report the news to Jun Mingzhang.
Jun Mingzhang was overjoyed, waiting to see Huo Xi's joke.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Huo Xi locked up Caiyun Courtyard, gave the workers a day off, and left Kunming City.
"Hahaha, let me tell you, if a woman is doing business, she can't continue doing it, right? Go find a man and cry, hahaha."
After successfully forcing Huo Xi away and asking her to close down all the workshops, Jun Mingzhang felt as if he had won a battle and felt as comfortable as if he had drank an ice bowl in the summer.
I feel like I can move my legs now, so I'm going to have a lot of fun in the evening. This time, I'll invite a few more young and tender ones.
While thinking about it, he asked: "Then the woman went to find someone named Mu?"
"I don't know."
"I don't know? Are you trash? You can't even stare at a woman! You don't know anything, so what's the use of you!" One moment Jun Mingzhang was overjoyed, and the next moment he was angry.
He grabbed the porcelain pillow on the bed and threw it at the steward who replied. The steward didn't dare to hide, and his forehead was immediately bleeding.
He didn't dare to wipe it, so he just bowed his head and knelt down to apologize. He was used to Jun Mingzhang's moody temper.
"Why don't you go check quickly and see where that woman has gone!"
"Yes." The steward, as if he had received an amnesty, climbed up quickly and covered the wound on his forehead. He thought about running away quickly, but he couldn't help but ask: "Are you still collecting the mushrooms and flowers?"
"Shut up!" Why don't you take it to drink?
"Yes." This time he really ran away.
So the sign outside Guangfeng Shui was closed, and the sign outside Junjia was also closed. Those who came all the way to sell goods were once again dumbfounded.
