Man Bao held the baggage and was reluctant to give it to him. Zhou Lang pulled it over resolutely and said: "One piece of fox fur is enough. Winter is not long. We are about to celebrate the New Year. It won't be so cold after the New Year."
.”
When Manbao heard this, he didn't necessarily want the fox skin, but he still couldn't help but said: "Yizhou is much warmer than the capital."
"But they are also richer than ours."
Man Bao sighed and refused to fight with him. He just looked at the things piled in the yard and asked curiously, "So Fourth Brother, do you want to go home?"
"That's right," Zhou Lang said matter-of-factly: "I was originally going to replace Lao Wu, but didn't I bring Sanzi and the others? I couldn't just leave them in the capital, so I took other jobs.
, I think it’s okay for Lao Wu to be in charge of the restaurant now, so I’ll take Sanzi and the others to do some other work outside.”
"Moreover, more and more medicinal materials are grown on the mountain at home. This year, there are about 20 jujube trees planted at home. So many medicinal materials have to be transported out to buy. I will definitely have to travel between home and the capital, and it is not suitable to manage a restaurant.
"
In short, Zhoulang's reasons were very good, and Manbao was convinced, but Wulang was not.
He was unhappy when he learned that his fourth brother was going home again and he still had to stay in the capital. "I have to go home. My wife is still at home. It was originally agreed that I would come for half a year and you would come for half a year."
, how can you go back on your word?"
Zhou Lang said: "It takes nine and ten days to go from home to the capital. In this kind of weather, it may take half a month to go back and forth. You go back and forth twice a year. Don't you think it's a waste of time?"
"My wife and children are still at home. I haven't seen them in half a year."
Zhou Lang hated the iron, "Can you stop thinking about your wife and children? Think more about making money."
Zhou Wulang disagreed, "Of course you don't want to think about it just after you came out of the house. Besides, what are you making money for? Isn't it for your wife and children...and your parents?"
"You have the ability to put your parents before your wife and children."
Wu Lang turned to Man Bao and said, "Man Bao, look at how messed up he is."
Man Bao also missed his parents, so he understood Fifth Brother very well, so he comforted him and said: "It's okay, Fifth Brother, we will go home to celebrate the New Year after Bai Shan and the others finish their exams."
Zhou Lang hesitated for a moment, "Will the palace let you go?"
Man Bao didn't care, "It's okay, the queen's condition is stable, and the prince's condition is not an emergency. We will just give him a prescription when the time comes, and let Dr. Liu and the others give them injections at regular intervals."
Zhou Lang heard what she said so easily and believed it.
But Zhou Lang said worriedly: "What about the shop?"
Wu Lang didn't even think about it, "Just lock him up, let's go home first to celebrate the New Year."
Liu Lang was reluctant to part with it, "Business is very good during the Chinese New Year."
Zhou Lang said: "You two brothers just need to reconcile."
One doesn't miss his wife that much, and the other doesn't miss running away that much.
Man Bao said: "Fourth brother, it would be great if you were half as honest as third brother."
Friday Lang: "Yes, it would be better if Third Brother was as cunning as you."
Zhou Lizhong and the other children were sitting around eating and listening to the quarrels of some uncles and aunts, without taking it seriously at all.
But Man Bao remembered something, "Fourth brother, where did you get the money for so much fur?"
"The two carts of medicinal materials we brought have all been sold, and my parents asked me to bring the money given to you by the capital."
Man Bao was still calculating in his head. Zhou Lijun, who was keeping accounts at the side, had already pulled the abacus and turned it several times. Then he raised his head and said to Man Bao: "Sister-in-law, there is still a difference of one thousand taels."
Everyone immediately looked up at Zhou Lang.
Zhou Lang's eyes wandered for a moment and then he said: "The remaining furs are on credit."
Wu Lang covered his heart and asked in a trembling voice: "Why do people give you credit?"
"I wrote the IOU, and they also know that our family has a shop in the capital," Zhou Lang looked at Man Bao and said, "So what I mean is that since Liu Lang doesn't really want to go back, he should stay and look at the shop. There will be more at that time.
You can also hire a few helpers."
Liu Lang immediately looked at Man Bao and said, "Man Bao, look, the fourth brother has escorted me to Hu Shang."
The brothers and sisters pressed down on Zhou Lang and wanted to beat him, but Zhou Lang shouted: "You know we can definitely make money, furs are easy to sell in Yizhou!"
Wu Lang had also been a buyer and knew the business very well. He pressed him and asked, "There is no shortage of sales for furs in the capital. Why is Mr. Hu willing to give you credit? How much interest did you give them?"
Zhou Lizhong couldn't help but said: "Fourth uncle, the road in winter is not easy. If the time limit is set and the time is delayed, it is a small matter to lose money, but it is a big deal to break one's trust."
"Oh, am I so stupid?" Zhoulang pushed away Wuwulang who was on top of him and said: "The one thousand taels owed on credit are not only the money for their goods, but also the deposit for us."
He said: "These Hu merchants like tea very much. They know that we have tea in Mianzhou and Yizhou, so they ordered tea from me and we even negotiated the price."
Wu Lang and Zhou Lang hesitantly let go of him, and Zhou Lang said proudly: "So you see, I made two business deals this time, and I didn't lose at all."
Liu Lang was still a little hesitant, "What if you don't receive the tea next year?"
"Bah, bah, bah, don't be so cynical," Zhou Lang said: "When I was in Yizhou, I also carried tea bags for the tea merchants. I know where their tea leaves are harvested. Next year, I will be ahead of them."
Go, if you don’t believe you can’t receive it.”
Manbao has seen similar introductions in some story books in the encyclopedia. It is said that in ancient times, people on the grasslands always ate and lacked vegetables, so their bodies lacked vitamins and always suffered from abdominal bloating and poor diet. However,
With tea, this disease can be greatly alleviated, and people will live longer.
Man Bao: "Don't they have any requirements on the type of tea?"
Thursday Lang: "Yes, as long as it's tea."
Man Bao exhaled and said to Wu Lang and Zhou Lang: "It's okay. It doesn't matter if the fourth brother really can't collect the tea leaves. The tea leaves they usually eat will be fine. When the time comes, the nearby villages will collect more."
That’s almost it.”
Thinking of the taste of the tea, Wu Lang and Zhou Lang's faces turned bitter, with disbelief on their faces, "Who would like such bitter tea?"
Zhou Lang was very suspicious.
Man Bao said firmly: "Just like Fourth Brother doesn't pay attention to the leather they give, they don't pay attention to the taste of the tea that Fourth Brother gives."
Zhou Lang did not admit this, "Who said I'm not particular about it? I chose this fur very carefully. I picked out a lot of really bad ones."
At this time, in a small courtyard not far from their Zhou Ji Restaurant, several fur men were huddled around a brazier warming themselves over the fire. While doing so, they said, "I didn't expect our furs to actually be sold.
That Thursday was not particular, he wanted to eat many of them with holes in their skin."
