Chapter 561 New Year's Goods from Youzhou

Chapter 567 New Year's goods from Youzhou

"It's been almost fifteen days since they went to Youzhou? It's almost the Chinese New Year, do they plan to come back before the year? Youzhou is so good? What makes them reluctant to leave?"

In the yamen of a county in Beidi, someone was muttering about his colleagues.

In his department, there are a total of three people working.

Because it is Qingshui Yamen, their department is also the pension department in Qingshui Yamen, so even if the other two go to Youzhou with their relationship, all the work will be on one person. My dear friend, I can still drink some wine and have fun after I finish my work every day.

But as time passed, it was discovered that these two colleagues, just like the meat buns that beat dogs, had disappeared and returned!
This really made him start to worry.

There is only a commendation meeting held in Youzhou, so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

While he was talking to himself, he heard footsteps coming from outside, and someone pushed the door open and came in, talking and laughing.

"Brother Liu, Brother Zheng! You guys are back!" Seeing that the people who came in were the two colleagues I had just talked about, the one who was left behind immediately asked a little curiously.

"Why have you been away for so long? It takes less than ten days to go back and forth from our place to Youzhou, right?"

It's still winter!

If the boat can go on the Grand Canal without freezing, the speed will be quite fast!

Plane back and forth for up to ten days, and the remaining five days, what is this for?
The two people who were asked were suddenly a little embarrassed,
"Brother Zhang Xian, brother Liu and I stayed in Youzhou for a few days, mainly to buy new year's goods." Mr. Zheng said.

"Buy new year's goods?" Mr. Zhang was stunned, a little puzzled.

"To buy new year's goods, why do we need to go to Youzhou to buy them? Besides, the road is blocked by heavy snow now. If we want to bring new year's goods back from Youzhou, we need at least one or two cars? It's not easy to walk!"

Although even if you don't buy new year's goods, you have to rush back in the snow, but with one or two more cars, it will be even more difficult to leave!

The place they are in is not a remote place, they are working in the county town!
Do their prefectures and counties still not have enough New Year's goods, and do they need to bring New Year's goods back from Youzhou?
Besides, they also sell things from Youzhou, right?
But it's only ten days back and forth, the caravan has been here before, I don't know how many times!

His confusion seemed to be written all over his face.

Seeing his expression, the other two told Mr. Zhang what new year's goods they bought from Youzhou and how much they spent.

"What? The glazed mirror from Youzhou, in Youzhou, you can buy it for only three hundred coins? Are you sure? Here, you can only buy it for one tael of silver!"

This is three times worse and we have to turn the corner!

Is there such a thing?
"Yes, besides this kind of glazed mirror, there are also slightly inferior quality ones, which can be bought for a few tens of pennies. Although it is slightly flawed, it looks very good. However, this mirror is actually not very good. They are not called glazed mirrors, but each has its own name! I heard that they are made of glass, not colored glaze!"

No wonder!
When he saw the glass mirror in the shop in the county town on their side before, he was still wondering, the glass mirror is a very precious thing in the department!

One tael of silver can buy one side?This is too cheap!
If this mirror is not made of colored glaze, then it makes sense.

But even so, a tael of silver is actually not that expensive.

Most people in wealthy families are also willing to buy one side for use.

Like Mr. Zhang, he once bought one.

This thing is not just for women!
As an official, an official who pays attention to decency, with such a mirror, he can see whether his appearance is tidy before going to the yamen to do business!

This is responsible for the work!
It is also because he bought it himself, so two colleagues said that a mirror of the same style and material can be bought in Youzhou for only [-] Wen!
This is simply a crit!
Seven hundred words!Looking at it alone, it doesn't seem like a lot of money, but it can add up to a lot. If it is wasted a few times a month, it will be a few taels of silver!
Especially when buying New Year's goods, ordinary officials like them usually send a carload of New Year's goods to the old family members, and other New Year's goods are prepared as gifts during the Chinese New Year, and given to their superiors, colleagues, and officials. Friends and family I met in this place.

This is a necessary entertainment!

Therefore, if everything can save a lot of money, it is indeed a very cost-effective thing to purchase a large number of New Year's goods from Youzhou!

The only thing wasted is probably time.

It takes ten days to go back and forth in winter!

The distance between them and Youzhou is indeed not too far, but the ten-day round-trip still needs to be planned in advance.

The more Master Zhang listened, the more he regretted it.

When he thought that all the white money in his pocket had flown away, he was heartbroken.

Hey, if the three of them hadn't married yet, they wouldn't always be fooled in such matters!

On the contrary, his two colleagues hurriedly gave him advice, telling him to let the steward take people to Youzhou to buy goods after he went back.

"You can make the list right now, and when you get back, ask the manager to take someone to Youzhou."

"It may not be in time for the gift."

Anyway, the New Year's goods they sent to their hometown had already set off before winter.

Therefore, what they want to purchase and prepare now are all spent during the Chinese New Year.

When Mr. Zhang heard it, he thought it made sense.

"That's right! Not only Liulijing, but also the canned fruits, scarves, sweaters and hats you mentioned, as well as the non-smelly pork that is abundant there, you have to buy a batch! Listen to you, whether they have live sheep or beef and mutton, They are also very cheap, and the quality is good?"

During Chinese New Year, most people like to eat meat, whether they are officials or common people.

This Mr. Zhang is no exception. When he heard that the fresh meat in Youzhou is of high quality and cheap, he was really moved.

In previous years, the government gave them a lot of meat.

But the problem is, their officials of the sixth and seventh ranks basically raise a big family!
Just relying on the fresh meat sent out is not enough to feed the whole house for a whole winter!

And it is not convenient to buy piecemeal.

So, now that there is such an opportunity to purchase a batch of very cheap and good quality fresh meat, Mr. Zhang is naturally eager to send people to Youzhou immediately, fearing that if they go late, all the good things will be snatched up. .

The two colleagues had to appease him, so that he could stay as calm as possible until the end of work time.

Not only him, there are many people who have the same idea.

Most of these people are concerned about the commendation conference in Youzhou. Originally, they only paid attention to the commendation conference. After the people who went to watch the commendation conference came back, these people who paid attention to Youzhou focused on the commendation conference. The conference has become a New Year's gift from Youzhou!

"Quick! Let's go tomorrow morning! Besides the ones on the list, if you see any other suitable New Year's goods, you can also buy them back!"

"Yes!"
