Finally, Xu Qing converted the total number of goods into poultry and paid them to Wang Dachuan.
Fortunately, Wang Dachuan made records after listening to Xu Qing's words. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell who is who.
Among all the mountain goods, Xu Qing only chose some she wanted and liked. Even so, she exchanged all the poultry cubs and pigs she brought back, and the extra part Xu Qing paid for.
After hearing that Wang Dachuan and his family had seen and heard about them in Fanzhou city these days, Xu Qing asked them to stay, but Wang Dachuan felt very sorry for the disturbance.
Xu Qing: "what's the matter? If you feel constrained to live here, rent a small courtyard in the city. According to the size, the rent for half a month ranges from a few Wen to dozens of Wen. It's very cheap. Now there are few people in the city, and many rooms are vacant and uninhabited."
Wang Dachuan's heart moved when he heard what Xu Qing said.
Xu Qing then said, "in the past half a month of busy farming, so many of you can make a lot of money in a day. When you go to the market, you can still take the rest of the mountain goods to the street to set up stalls. The only problem is that these poultry have to be watched and fed. If you want to rent, you'd better rent a pig house."
Wang Dachuan nodded: "someone has to watch."
A younger brother said: "boss, if we take turns to collect rice and leave two people at home to feed poultry every day, we should have a rest."
Wang Dachuan gave him an appreciative look: "this one is OK."
Those who recruit rice all pack lunch, and they have food and vegetables there. With money, they can buy them directly. Later, they can pick up some leaves and hulled rice that others don't want in their fields and feed them to poultry and piglets.
Thinking of this, Wang Dachuan patted his thigh and said, "let's stay for half a month and then go back to earn some money and buy some good things for our family."
As soon as Wang Dachuan's voice fell, he immediately welcomed the cheers of his younger brothers.
Later, Xu Qing took Wang Dachuan to the dentist's shop to help pick out a big courtyard with four rooms, kitchen and pigsty. The rent for half a month was 15 Wen, and the deal was finally concluded at 10 Wen.
After the lease was signed, Wang Dachuan took his younger brothers and piglets into the courtyard. The courtyard was deserted for a long time. It was a bit messy, but it didn't affect everyone's excitement. Several men tidied up the house neatly.
Xu Qing brought over the bamboo mat and bamboo sheet they used to sleep on, so that they would not have to buy them by themselves. He also sent some rice vegetables and oil salt. It was late and there was no food on the street. Let them cope with the dinner first.
Soon, Wang Dachuan and his family got together in Fanzhou city. Everyone liked these men. They worked hard and fast. Every time Wang Dachuan and his family went there, many people wanted them.
Wang Dachuan, where they give more money, they will go as soon as they can. They didn't expect that they would be robbed of the rice harvest. If those people in the stockade knew this, they would be envious.
At the beginning of August, Ji Lao proposed to sell the wine to zuixianlou, but he didn't know whether zuixianlou would accept it or not, so he asked Xu Qing to accompany him to ask.
Xu Qing said that she didn't need such trouble. She directly asked Ping'an to go to zuixianlou to invite manager Gu.
As soon as manager Gu came, he said with a smile, "it must be a good thing that madam called me here, isn't it?"
Xu Qing nodded: "that's right. If it wasn't for your restaurant in Fanzhou City, this kind of good thing would not have come to you."
Shopkeeper Gu is curious: "Yo? Then I'll see what's good. "
Xu Qing takes manager Gu to see Ji Lao. Although manager Gu has never met Ji Lao, he knows his reputation.
This is the top Royal winemaker in Wangyue building of the Fu family. He even wants to supply wine to Zuixian building. It's really flattering for manager gu!
Xu Qing said with a smile, "it's not that the Fu family didn't open a restaurant or a pub in Fanzhou city. I didn't know where to sell master's wine, so I recommended zuixianlou to him."
Shopkeeper Gu accepted the good intention and asked, "Mr. Ji, do you think I can taste the wine first?"
Although shopkeeper Gu knows Ji Lao's reputation, he is also a businessman. Even if he is excited, he still retains his reason before paying for the goods and says that he wants to inspect the goods.
Ji said, "of course, I'm ready."
There are five kinds of wine in total. Because of the limited conditions, they are too complex to be brewed. Therefore, they are all common wines on the market. It's just because they are brewed by Ji Lao himself, which is quite different from those sold outside.
Every time shopkeeper Gu tasted one, he would marvel at it. This skill directly rolled the wine in his building into the dust. No wonder the Fu family's Wangyue building made so many wine customers flock to it.
"Ji Lao's wine really deserves its reputation! It's worthy of being the number one winemaker in the world Shopkeeper Gu said with admiration, "I'll take as much of the wine as you sell!"
Of course, Ji is very confident about his wine. The admiration in the eyes of shopkeeper Gu made him very useful. He said: "I have an agreement with the Fu family that the wine must be sold to the Fu family first. This time I'm in Fanzhou city. It's not convenient to transport the wine out, so I can only trade with you zuixianlou once or twice, because I'm leaving at the end of August."Shopkeeper Gu regretted and said, "I understand. I respect your decision."
Ji nodded: "at the end of August, I still have several jars of wine to brew. If you still need them, we can trade again."
Shopkeeper Gu said with a smile: "of course, it's not too much."
The next two people discussed the price, and they both set a relatively satisfactory price for each other. Shopkeeper Gu signed a contract with Mr. Ji on the spot and agreed to trade early the next morning.
Because of the large amount of silver needed, shopkeeper Gu also went to the bank.
The next morning, shopkeeper Gu came with silver, carriage and staff to transport the wine back.
And Ji Lao takes the silver and wants to ask Xu Qing how to spend it to help those who need it.
Xu Qing thought about it and said, "do you remember those children who were abducted by Yue? After those children are rescued, I am afraid that many people will not find their original parents, and even some children who return to their original parents may not be able to lead a good life for various reasons. "
"So before, I suggested that the imperial court set up an adoption academy to adopt these orphans and help them grow up. This kind of thing is limited by the power of the imperial court alone, and it also needs the donation and help of many caring people in the society."
Ji Lao's eyes brightened: "I'm very loving. I'll keep the money to help these poor children. They must have suffered a lot when they were sold to a foreign country. They can't come back and they don't even have a shelter. That's pathetic."
"By the way, didn't you say that you had already sent troops to attack Yue? How's the fight going? Has the child been saved? " Ji asked curiously.
