Chapter 316 No extravagance
In the evening, Li made a good meal. The hunter family had the most lacking wild food, especially during the autumn harvest season, when wild food was the most fatter in the year, Li bought two rabbits and made a big pot of rabbit meat.
Zhulan asked Li to send a bowl to the Liu family.
Zhang Sanni was very nervous. She didn't want to reveal her lies. Fortunately, Li saw that she seemed to know her. Zhang Sanni was relieved. After careful consideration, she realized that it must have been Zhou Yang's instructions.
She had already discovered that the Zhou family didn't like trouble and would not take the initiative to cause trouble. Zhang Sanni was completely relieved.
After dinner, Zhulan and Zhou Shuren went to the main room of the Liu family with an umbrella.
Old Man Liu was smoking a dry tobacco, while Liu Zhang was taking on the sole of his shoes.
Liu Zhang came in to Zhulan and said, "Is there anything wrong with the juren's wife coming here at this time?"
Zhulan smiled and said, "I heard from the head of the bodyguard that our village is a famous hunter village. It's not that winter is coming, and I want to find some high-quality skins, so I came to ask if your family has high-quality fur."
Liu Zhang couldn't make this decision, so he looked at the head of the family.
Old Man Liu put down the dry tobacco in his hand, "Mrs. Juren wants fox skin or mink skin?"
When Zhulan heard this, she knew that the Liu family had good skin, "Fox skin or mink skin are fine."
Old Man Liu said to his wife: "Take it out."
Liu Zhang put down the sole of the shoe in his hand, "Oh!"
Old Man Liu explained: "The market was good last year. The squeezed fur was sold last winter. It was rare to get fox skins in a year. I'm lucky to get two of them this year. The Juren's wife can see if there is anyone you can like."
Old Man Liu hopes that he can sell it. It depends on luck to make a good fortune. He expects to make more profits in a year. However, the shops in the city that specialize in fur are bullying them. Even if the market is good, the price will not be too high. They also want to sell it alone, but the stalls are either stolen or they are suppressed by some housekeepers. It is better to sell it directly to the shop!
The village likes passing by, but unfortunately there are very few stops. However, every time there are stops, they will sell some fur. It’s a pity that I buy too little, but the price is still good.
Liu Zhang took out the fur, and the two fox skins were fond, and Zhulan fell in love with them at first sight. They were all red fox skins, and two high-quality mink skins. Zhulan asked the price, "How do you sell these pictures?"
Old Man Liu knocked on the dry tobacco, "I don't want to be too expensive than in the shop. One fox skin is twenty taels, and one mink skin is twelve taels."
Zhulan recalls the price of the Pingzhou fur shop. The high-quality fox skin costs 30 taels per piece, and the inferior mink skin costs ten taels of silver.
Zhulan’s plan was very good. This was much cheaper than a shop. When she thought about the purchase price of fur merchants, the industry was really profitable. No wonder she monopolized it. "I want all four of them. Do you think who else has a high-quality fox skin? I want to buy a few more."
Old Man Liu smoked dry tobacco again, "No more, there are a lot of rabbit skins in the village, and it is hard to beat foxes. This year, our family has fox skins, and other families have sold them last year."
Zhulan’s wish to save a few more was shattered, but it was already great to buy four. It was good to keep them as dowry or give gifts to the girl at home.
Zhou Shuren kept talking, Yu Guang stared at the old man, curled the corner of his mouth and said, "There should be better fur at home."
Old Man Liu has a lot of dealing with businessmen and rarely dealing with scholars. Although scholars will catch them every year, scholars have always been superior and they have lived with Juren Masters. In his impression, Juren Masters are carried away.
This was the first time he talked to the old master of Juren. He was stunned for a moment and digested the words of the old master of Juren. Old Man Liu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, how did the old master of Juren see it?
Zhou Shuren smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. We bought it sincerely. If we have good skin, we will definitely give it a fair price."
Old Man Liu winked at the old woman, "The juren is a scholar, I can trust it."
Liu Zhang was happy. The price of four leather pieces is twenty taels more than the purchasers!
Zhulan waited for a while before seeing the skin that Liu Zhang took out. Two white fox skins. Zhulan blinked her eyes and it was really white fox skins. It was eighty taels per piece in Pingzhou fur shop. Sometimes you want to buy it but it has not been available yet!
Old Man Liu was depressed. Why did the Juren and the Juren's wife have no expression on their faces? He couldn't tell at all, which made him ask for a price. After thinking for a while, "The white fox skin is hard to see. I beat it three years ago. I have never seen it again. It is priced at 70 taels per piece."
He didn't dare to know until he fought. The merchants who bought it would definitely be priced at a price. It would be great if they could sell it for 40 taels per piece. It would be a good idea if others knew it would cause trouble. He kept hiding it. It would be good if he could throw his hands away today.
Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, and Zhou Shuren nodded invisibly. These two rare white fox skins were the best gifts if used properly.
I spent 204 taels of bamboo orchid to buy six pieces of fur, and specially emptied a box to pack the fur.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night and I could continue to set off the next day. After breakfast, Li took Xinghua to pack his luggage.
The Liu family made a lot of money on Zhoujia last night. Liu Zhang made buns in the morning and specially gave them to Zhulan Road for food. The stuffing of the buns was made of wild boar and cabbage.
Zhulan and Zhou Shuren got on the last carriage. Zhulan opened the curtain and looked back at the Liu family. She happened to see Zhang Sanni salute her. She understood the gift Zhang Sanni gave her.
Zhulan smiled. This girl rarely sees the reality clearly, and is also a person who knows how to seize the opportunity. Zhulan put down the curtain and met several girls she met through time. Zhang Sanni and Wang Rong never hopes for an illusory future, but grasps the reality. Therefore, they can only strive for their own happiness step by step in the difficult environment.
This time when she returned to Zhoujia Village, she also met Wang Rong. Wang Rong was calm and peaceful, and she never stopped smiling. Even the Zhou Wang family praised him.
This morning, she was also observing the Liu family. The Liu family is rarely a kind-hearted family. Although Zhang Sanni's husband is not outstanding, she will help Zhang Sanni carry water.
In ancient times, if you could find a husband who loved you, the future of a woman would not be bad.
Zhulan leaned her head on Zhou Shuren's shoulder, raised Zhou Shuren's hand, put her hand on, held her big hand with her small hand, and Zhulan curled her mouth, "It's great to have you."
Zhou Shuren replied, "I should say this."
He thought more than once, what would he do if Zhulan didn't save him? Dead? Or traveling through time?
Zhulan smiled and didn't speak anymore. Zhou Shuren also smiled and held Zhulan's hand tightly.
Because it rains again, it is a mountain road, and the carriage is not moving fast. It is only at night that I can barely leave the mountain area. It is still a distance from the station. Fortunately, it leaves the mountain area, and even if it rains again, it will not be dangerous.
The journey was not smooth afterwards. When the autumn harvest was over, the rain increased. After a few heavy rains, the carriage was struggling to walk.
When Zhulan was fine, she would lie by the car window and watch the farmers harvesting crops in the muddy fields. In ancient times, there was no machinery and it was all manpower. Farmers worked harder after several heavy rains.
She should be grateful that it was not a disaster year, but at least this year is another bumper year, although the rainfall in the autumn harvest has been a little heavier.
