Chapter 21

When Zhao Qingxian came back to Zhao's home, he was relieved and thought about how to give Su Miaomiao the scald plaster tomorrow.

Before dawn, Su Miaomiao went hunting in the mountains. For her, hunting in the mountains is also a kind of exercise. Proper activities will make her weak body recover faster.

Although the terrain of Lingxi mountain is complex, she will remember it as long as she walks through it once, and distinguishing the direction is also her strength. Moreover, the harsh special training during the bodyguard period makes her speed and strength several times stronger than ordinary people, so she can easily reach the depth of Lingxi mountain. Although her body has not fully recovered, she has been able to hunt animals twice her size.

Fortunately, she hunted two Swertia deer with her sleeve arrow. When she went back, she hit five rabbits by the way. When she appeared at the foot of the mountain, it was less than an hour.

With Gu Chenzhong's introduction last time, Su Miaomiao soon found the big house where Mu Guiming lived.

When Mu Guiming went to the hospital to report, he saw Su Miaomiao with a sack about the same height as her. He thought that he must have brought something good to him.

Mu Guiming takes a look in the bag, and his eyebrows are full of joy.

He knew that the girl of the Su family was not simple, but he didn't expect that the girl was so simple. Not to mention how precious the Swertia deer is, the wild Swertia deer meat alone can be sold for 100 Wen a Jin. The two Swertia deer are not small, and they add up to at least 80 Jin.

What is really valuable is not the meat of Swertia deer, but the musk extracted from Swertia deer!

Mu Guiming pondered for a moment and said, "Miss Su, I'll give you 80 Jin of Zhangzi meat according to 100 Wen per Jin. If you can get five liang of musk, I'll give you one hundred two or two."

When Mu Guiming finished, Su Miaomiao had a bottom in his heart. The musk of the two Zhangzi could be sold for 500 liang of silver. The 500 Liang plus the remaining money in his hand before was more than enough to build a house.

Mu Guiming knew that the Su girl was straightforward enough, so the price he gave was not false. It was more reasonable than those peddlers. He took out a silver note with some broken silver. The total was 508 taels of silver.

Su Miaomiao took the money and watched the guard send Zhangzi to Mu Guiming. Then he turned to Chongshang street.

Chongshang street is the biggest cloth Market in Wenxing county. It's just the new year's day. I want to pull some cloth in the shop and make two new clothes for Wang and his aunt.

From the street to the end of the lane, there are all kinds of fabrics. Among them, the biggest one is Jubao Satin shop. The shop doesn't cheat customers. Su Miaomiao is about to go in and have a look when he hears a burst of laughter behind him.

"Oh, when did Jubao Satin shop greet such poor guests?"

Su Miaomiao looks back, a rich lady with jewels, covering her nose and looking at her with disgust in her eyes.

Isn't it? Su Miaomiao looked down at herself. She was wearing a starched, almost white coat and skirt. She had a conspicuous blue patch on her chest. The only brand-new shoes on her whole body were the shoes she had just bought from the stall. Compared with the gorgeous lady in front of her, they were simply ugly.

Su Miaomiao has been thinking about independence these days. No wonder she didn't notice the dress.

"Oh, young master, why are you here?" Hu Yuangang called away a group of guests and saw his young boss staring at a poor thin girl with disgust.

Hu Yuan, the young master, can't offend him. If he offends him, he will lose his job. Hu Yuan quickly steps forward to welcome Qian Baoyin in. He doesn't forget to take a look at Su Miaomiao.

Oh, it's so cheap.

Su Miaomiao's mouth gently touched. She didn't want to deal with these snobs, so she turned to the Xingyuan silk shop.

Compared with Jubao Satin shop, Xingyuan Satin shop is a little smaller, but fortunately, the shopkeeper is not as cheap as a dog's eye, but he is very kind to introduce the cloth to her.

"Girl, this cotton fabric is the best one sold in our store. You can go back to make middle clothes and trousers in white, and you can go back to make jacket and skirt or drape in black and red." While explaining, Wu Shengfeng showed Su Miaomiao a small sample.

Su Miaomiao touched it. It's the most common cotton cloth in the village. It's breathable and wear-resistant when working and hunting.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this cloth?" The shopkeeper was very strange. He didn't answer her question, but looked around.

After Wu Shengfeng confirmed that no one was staring at him, he was relieved.

"Girl, the things in our shop are definitely worth the money. The cloth sold to you is cheaper than that of Jubao Satin shop. But don't say I'll give you a cheaper price when you go out."

Su Miaomiao was stunned. As soon as she entered Jubao Satin shop, she came out without asking the price of the cloth. However, from the wary eyes of the shopkeeper, she saw that there was something wrong.

Wu Shengfeng pulled Su Miaomiao aside and said in a low voice, "haven't you been shopping in Jubao Satin shop in the past two years? No wonder you don't know that the owner behind Jubao Satin shop is Qian family, one of the two big families. Their family has a big business, and there are also people on top. All the shops they open have to suppress the shops around them, that is, they have to force the prices of the goods around them not to be lower than the prices of the things they sell. I've been doing cloth business in Wenxing County for more than ten years. It was originally a small business. Now I can only rely on this method to keep customers. If I'm found by the Qian family, it's still a small matter to punish me for playing tricks behind my back. If it's serious, I have to go to jail. So girl, you must keep it a secret for me! "

If we put it in the 21st century, it will be vicious competition. If it is serious, we should bear legal responsibility.

With this method, the shop is still so large. I think the backstage must be very tough. The shopkeeper must also be forced. Otherwise, he would not risk this kind of risk to attract customers.

Su Miaomiao nodded silently.

Shopkeeper Wu wrapped up the cloth Su Miaomiao bought. Su Miaomiao was walking out, but he was stopped by the shopkeeper.

"I said, girl, when I saw that you are a good person, I told you that we ordinary people are better friends with the Yuejia family. Although their young master is usually more strict, he is much thicker than the Qian family."

Wu Shengfeng saw the girl's aura, so he couldn't help saying more. Knowing that he didn't mean anything, Su Miaomiao thanks him for reminding him and went to the West Street.

Thanks to Gu Chenzhong's introduction, she got to know Mu Guiming. Although Mu Guiming is a businessman, she is not greedy for money. If she were an ordinary medicine merchant, she would certainly make an article on her musk.

After thinking about it, I think it's more appropriate to visit Gu Chenzhong's business in the future to thank him.

Su Miaomiao saw Gu Chenzhong's meat stall surrounded by three people from a distance. She was not in a hurry, so she stood behind and waited quietly.
