"Concubine, isn't it a coincidence that they met us?"
The encounter Li Chengmu mentioned here means the last time we met on the road.
Xia Jing glanced at him and smiled, "Yes, you can see this."
Li Chengmu was furious, "They really have a problem?!"
"What happened to them must be true. We may have been involved in the conspiracy when they met by chance, but their purpose of the Mou family is probably to follow us to live in Lingnan."
"That means they have no problem." Li Chengmu scratched his head. Is there a problem or no problem?
"Let's leave time to verify whether there is really a problem. As long as they don't threaten our safety, we can interact with them."
Since his mother-in-law said so, Li Chengmu didn't dwell on the matter.
When she arrived at the warehouse, Xia Jing was led around the warehouse by the shopkeeper. She was surprised to find that the warehouses of this era were similar to the wholesalers or supermarkets of later generations.
There are all kinds of goods in the warehouse, and goods from the north and south seem to be concentrated here.
Xia Jing saw black fungus and white fungus on the shelves, "Shopkeeper, how do you sell black fungus and white fungus?"
"Haha, madam, you have good taste." The shopkeeper didn't know Xia Jing's true identity. He pointed to another slightly smaller fungus and said: "This kind is picked from our local mountains, and it costs two hundred yuan per catty. You
I just saw that it was shipped from the north. It costs half a tael of silver per pound. Look at the quality. It is thick and large. It is delicious in soups and dishes. Tremella fuciformis is even more expensive. It is not even top quality.
Five taels of silver per catty."
"This is too expensive!" Ding Dazhuang gasped. The silver of this pound of white fungus is enough to support the living expenses of his poor family for a year.
"Things are rare and valuable. These are mountain treasures. Picking them depends on luck. How can they not be expensive?"
As he said this, the shopkeeper laughed heartily.
He patted Ding Dazhuang on the shoulder, "Boy, have you always heard of delicacies from the mountains and the sea? I also have dried seafood here, but it is more expensive than the delicacies from the mountains. I haven't even introduced it to you yet. Does this scare you?"
"Shopkeeper, do you have the best white fungus here?"
Xia Jing mainly wants to see what the best Tremella fungus looks like? How is it different from the Tremella fuciformis on the shelf?
The shopkeeper was like a duck being pinched by the neck, and his rough laughter stopped abruptly.
"Old. Laochan, we don't have the best white fungus here."
"Haha, shopkeeper, you are bragging about things you don't have here. It makes our master come here and you are not interested. It's really disappointing!"
This time it was Ding Dazhuang who patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder.
Xia Jing shook her head regretfully: "Forget it if you don't have it, I'll go look at the leather goods again."
The shopkeeper smiled apologetically at everyone and said, "Please, madam."
Wu Yuli and her daughter, who were standing at the back, didn't say a word the whole time. Now they saw them heading to the backyard.
Mou Guangzhen couldn't help but said, "Mother, isn't she the princess? The prince's family has a great business. If you don't have anything, why do you need to go out and buy it yourself?"
Wu Yuli wiped the sweat on her forehead with a handkerchief and shook her head: "You know I haven't seen her for many years, and now I'm a little unclear about her character. As for why she came to buy it in person, I don't even know.
.”
Mou Guangzhen felt uncomfortable with the heat, and she couldn't help but complain in her heart, "In a small family like ours, the housekeeper has to buy everything we need. Why does the palace let the princess come out to buy it? I really don't understand the thoughts of these royal relatives!
"
"Zhen'er, since we have a humble status, it's better to read more and speak less, so as not to let their people listen."
Wu Yuli pulled off her daughter's sleeves. After all, it was easy to offend others by gossiping, and their family would have to rely on the palace to protect them later.
Xia Jing went to the backyard warehouse and looked at the leather goods in stock. The quality was good, but there were fewer top-quality furs. This did not affect purchasing goods from him, after all, there were still a small number of people who had high consumption of luxury goods.
Xia Jing also checked other goods and was very satisfied with the quality in the warehouse.
Next, Ding Dazhuang and the others will be responsible for placing orders, paying money, and handing over the goods.
Xia Jing whispered to him: "The quality of the goods in the warehouse behind is good. When loading, you should pay attention to whether the quality of the goods loaded on the truck is the same as that in the warehouse behind."
Ding Dazhuang nodded solemnly, "Master, please rest assured, my subordinates will pay attention to this."
Xia Jing is quite reassured about Ding Dazhuang. This guy is bold and careful. Even though he usually acts carelessly, he is quite reliable when it comes to getting down to business.
Because of Wu's mother and daughter, Xia Jing didn't let Li Chengmu follow her shopping when she came out of the warehouse.
Passing by the oil paper shop, Xia Jing went in and bought a lot of oil paper. Seeing that there were oil paper umbrellas in the store, she bought a few. She, Hongmei, and Wu's mother and daughter each had one.
It's a lot cooler to go shopping with an umbrella.
Wu Yuli has not been in good health since she gave birth to her child. She is afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer.
She didn't follow for long, and even though there was an umbrella to protect her from the sun, she was still so hot that she kept sweating.
After finishing her business, Xia Jing is currently shopping mainly to explore Jiangxia’s special food.
Passing by a teahouse, he turned around and led everyone inside.
Sitting down on the second floor, Wu Yuli wiped the sweat from her forehead and asked with a smile: "I thought the princess was just out shopping today, but I didn't expect she was out shopping. Why did the palace let you take care of such a trivial matter? It's not your job."
Are you responsible?"
Xia Jing explained: "It is true that there are stewards responsible for the procurement of the palace, but today's matter is not the palace's business, it is my own private matter."
"You, a princess, are doing the job of managing affairs. The prince has no problem with you?"
Wu Yuli couldn't understand Xia Jing's behavior. Women should surround men, especially powerful men like the prince.
As long as the mistress is not careful, the man's heart may be seduced by the vixen, and then it will be like losing the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds!
Xia Jing didn't know what Wu Yuli was thinking, so she just laughed away her questions.
Even if they were a couple in name only, she didn't want to share her way of getting along with each other with others.
Ever since Wu Yuli planned to escape to Lingnan, she had learned about the palace from the side.
She knew that there were two aunts in the palace who were older than Xia Jing, and that these two aunts had given birth to concubines for the prince.
Xia Jing is young and beautiful. If she really wants to compete with her two aunts for favor, those two old and beady aunts will definitely not be able to compete with her.
However, after several contacts, she found that Xia Jing's mentality was particularly peaceful, which was really difficult to survive in a wealthy family.
But judging from Xia Jing's attitude, although they are good friends, she doesn't know how to persuade her?
The waiter came in with tea and snacks. Xia Jing found that in addition to dried fruits, there were only cakes in the teahouse.
Pancakes with various fillings, including bacon, caramel, and nuts.
No matter how many tricks you think of, they are gone!
Dried fruits are simply dried and fried. There are no other tricks either.
Xia Jing seemed to see business opportunities from this.
Of course, we won’t have time to consider these business opportunities until we arrive in Lingnan.
