Chapter 316： do not expect

Latest website: In the evening, Mrs. Li cooked a good meal. The most important thing for hunters is wild animals, especially the autumn harvest season, the fattest season of the year. Mrs. Li bought two rabbits and came back. A big pot of rabbit meat.

Zhulan asked Li to bring a bowl to the Liu family.

Zhang Sanni was very nervous. She didn't want to expose her lies. Fortunately, when Mrs. Li saw her, it seemed like she didn't know each other.

She had already discovered that the Zhou family didn't like trouble, and they wouldn't take the initiative to provoke trouble. Zhang Sanni was completely relieved.

After waiting for the Liu family to have dinner, Zhulan went to the main room of the Liu family with an umbrella and Zhou Shuren.

The old man Liu was smoking a dry cigarette, and Mrs. Liu Zhang was taking the soles of his shoes.

Liu Zhangshi greeted Zhulan and said, "Is there anything Mrs. Juren is here at this hour?"

Zhulan smiled and said: "I told the head guard that our village is a famous hunter's village. It's not winter. I want to find some high-quality leather, so I came here to ask if you have any waiting fur."

Liu Zhangshi could not be the master, and looked at the master.

The old man Liu put down the dry cigarette in his hand, "Does Mrs. Juren want fox fur or mink fur?"

As soon as Zhulan heard it, she knew that the Liu family had good skins, "Fox skins and mink skins are fine."

Old man Liu said to his wife, "Take it out."

Liu Zhangshi put down the sole of his shoe, "Hey!"

Liu Laohan explained: "Last year's market was good, the extruded furs were sold last winter, and it was rare to get fox furs in one year. This year, I was lucky to hit two. Let the wife see if there are any that can be admired. "

Old man Liu hopes to sell them. It depends on luck for these hunters to get good skins. They count on good skins to make more money every year, but the shops in the city that specialize in furs are the ones who bully them, even if the market is good. The price given will not be too high, and they also want to sell it separately, but the stall is either robbed or the price is lowered by some housekeepers, it is better to sell it directly to the shop!

The village likes the passing convoys very much, but unfortunately few stop, but every time there is a stop, some furs will be sold. Unfortunately, too few are bought, but the price is still good.

Mrs. Liu Zhang took out the furs, two fox skins, Zhu Lan fell in love with them at first sight, they were both red fox skins, and two high-quality mink furs, Zhu Lan asked the price, "How do you sell these? "

The old man Liu knocked on the dry cigarette, "I don't want it to be too expensive. It's cheaper than the store. A fox fur is twenty taels, and a mink fur is twelve taels."

Zhulan recalled the prices of fur shops in Pingzhou. A piece of high-quality fox fur was 32 taels, while a second-class mink fur cost 10 taels of silver.

The abacus in Zhulan's heart is sound, this is much cheaper than the shop, and then thinks that the purchase price of fur traders is cheaper, this business is really huge profit, no wonder it is monopolized, "I want all four of these, you see who else is there. Got some fine fox fur at home? I want to buy some more."

The old man Liu smoked the dry cigarette again, "No, there are quite a few rabbit skins in the village, and foxes are hard to beat. This year, our family made fox skins, and other families sold them last year."

Zhulan's wish to save a few more cards was shattered, but it was good to be able to buy four, and it would be good to keep them as a dowry or as a gift for the girl at home.

Zhou Shuren kept talking, staring at the old man from the corner of his eye, and said with a corner of his mouth, "There should be better fur at home."

Liu Laohan has dealt with businessmen a lot, but rarely with scholars. Although there are scholars who catch up every year, scholars have always been on the top. Their family also borrowed the master of Juren. In his impression, the master of Juren is always holding his head up. go.

This was the first time he had spoken to Master Juren. After a moment of stunnedness, he digested Master Juren's words. Old Man Liu narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, How did Master Juren see it?

Zhou Shuren said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we bought it sincerely. If there is a good leather, we will definitely give a fair price."

The old man Liu gave the old woman a wink, "Master Juren is a scholar, I can trust him."

Liu Zhangshi was overjoyed, the price of the four skins today was twenty taels more than the merchants who bought them!

Zhulan waited for a while before she saw the skins Liu Zhang's took out, two white fox skins. Zhulan blinked. They were really white fox skins. There are eighty-two skins in the Pingzhou fur shop. When you want to buy it is still in stock!

The old man Liu was depressed. He couldn't see how expressionless Master Juren and Mrs. Juren were, which made him not very good at asking for a price. Yes, I haven't seen it since then, and the price is seventy-two a piece."

He didn't dare to let anyone know when he hit it. The merchant who bought it for the acquisition will definitely lower the price. It's not bad to be able to sell it for forty-two pieces.

Zhulan looked at Zhou Shuren, Zhou Shuren nodded invisibly, these two rare white fox skins, if used properly, would be a good gift.

Zhulan spent two hundred and forty taels to buy six pieces of fur, and deliberately emptied a box of furs.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and we could continue the journey the next day. After breakfast, Mrs. Li took Xinghua to pack her luggage.

The Liu family made a lot of money on Zhou Jia last night. Liu Zhang’s family made buns in the morning and specially gave them to Zhulan Road to eat. The stuffing for the buns was wild boar and cabbage.

Zhulan and Zhou Shuren got into the carriage last. Zhulan opened the curtain and looked back at the Liu family, just in time to see Zhang Sanni salute her, she understood the salute Zhang Sanni gave her.

Zhulan smiled. This girl is a rare person who sees reality clearly, and is also a person who understands to seize opportunities. Zhulan put down the curtain, and the girls she came to know, Zhang Sanni and Wang Rong, would never go there. People who hope for an illusory future, but grasp the reality, so they can work out their own happiness step by step in a difficult environment.

When she returned to Zhoujia Village this time, she also met Wang Rong. Wang Rong was calm and peaceful, and the smile on his face never stopped. Even Zhou Wang's 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 father-in-law is not outstanding, he will help Zhang Sanni carry water.

In ancient times, if you can find a husband who loves you, the future of women will not be bad.

Zhu Lan rested her head on Zhou Shuren's shoulder, raised Zhou Shuren's hand, put her own hand on top, holding the small hand in the big hand, Zhu Lan hooked the corner of her mouth, "It's nice to have you."

Zhou Shuren held back This is what I should have said. "

He thought more than once, if Zhulan didn't save him, what would he do? died? Or transcend?

Zhulan smiled and didn't speak again, Zhou Shuren also smiled and clenched Zhulan's hand.

Because it was raining and it was a mountain road, the carriage did not travel very fast. It was barely out of the mountain at night, and there was still a distance from the post station. Fortunately, it was out of the mountain, even if it rained again, it would not be dangerous.

Afterwards, the journey was not very smooth. After the autumn harvest, there was more rain. After a few heavy rains, the carriage was also very difficult to travel.

When she is free, Zhulan will lie by the car window and watch, watching the farmers harvesting crops in the muddy fields. In ancient times, there were no machinery and all depended on manpower. After a few heavy rains, the farmers worked even harder.

She should be thankful that it is not a disaster year, at least this year is another harvest year, although the autumn harvest is more rainy.

Zhulan was worried about her hometown, "I don't know if it's raining in my hometown? There's still time to count, and Xuemei should have her confinement."
