Wear it quickly! My mad dog-like host!

Near noon, Mei Qianghua and the blue-feathered bird drove slowly towards the rented yard in a carriage, followed by a row of carriages, all of them buyers.

In ancient times, productivity was low and it was not easy to preserve food, so the second batch of goods sold by Mei Qianghua were mountains of various dry goods in the space. Of course, the main reason was to clean up the space.

It's at least half a million kilograms. If you sell them all, you can probably get more than 60,000 taels.

More than 60,000 taels is enough to live here for a long time.

"Good morning, Master Xiaoba! Good morning, Shopkeeper Qian."

"Master Xiaoba, which place are you planning to go to today?"

"Master Xiaoba..."

People were greeting the blue bird along the way, and it puffed out its chest and said back to people from time to time, "Hello..." its voice was quite proud.

Mei Qianghua's popularity in Yucheng is far less than its reputation.

It was mixed up with "Master", but she was still called "Shopkeeper" and had to queue behind it.

The yard is already full of goods, not only the yard she rented, but also the yard owned by Manager Yang and his friends next door.

The yard of Guanshi Yang and his caravan had not expired yet, but after getting three crystal balls and all the money was spent, he set off back early with Master Feng, so he gave her the right to use the yard.

After sending away three groups of people in a row, the goods were almost gone, with less than two thousand kilograms left.

After thinking about the remaining goods in the yard, she went out and saw the patrolling officers and soldiers "fishing" and quickly waved to them.

The patrol officers and soldiers were very familiar with Shopkeeper Qian, and they were so generous in their dealings that even if they didn't want to be disliked.

The leader called two people to follow him, while the others continued patrolling.

"Shop Manager Qian, do you need help with something?"

"Yes." Mei Qianghua turned sideways and pointed to the remaining goods in the yard, "There are still some goods left, not much. It would be too troublesome to sell them in bulk, so I wanted to ask, do you need them? Take them away if you need them. , think of it as the tea money I gave you."

The three people's eyes lit up. Shopkeeper Qian's items were all good.

He immediately said: "Shopkeeper Qian is too polite."

Seeing their move, Mei Qianghua also smiled and said, "No, you all take care of me, don't you?" She maintained this with money.

When these batches of goods were brought into the city one after another, the officers and soldiers guarding the city and the patrol teams only checked whether there were any goods that were not allowed to be carried before letting them go without even touching a single layer of the goods.

These little devils have finally grown up.

After chatting for a few more words, after they all moved away the remaining goods in the yard, they closed the door one by one and prepared to go back to their cages for sleep. There would be a wonderful show in the evening.

……

Beijing.

It is said that the most popular ones recently are the Princess Princess's Mansion and Prince He's Mansion. I don't know where these two houses got a round sphere with extremely high transparency.

The sphere in the eldest princess's mansion is carved with a big tree in bloom, its petals falling to the ground in colorful colors in the wind. ,

Inside the sphere in Prince He's Mansion is a sea of ​​stars.

Put it on the lamp and take a photo, it is really amazing.

Other dignitaries approached the seller one after another - Wu's Trading Company and Feng's Trading Company.

The heads of the two families were crazy with joy. After whetting everyone's appetite, they threw out the rest.

The one with the highest price gets it.

As for whether it will offend the powerful, there is no need to worry about it. If the two trading houses did not have the support of the powerful, their trading companies would not be able to be so big.

After the weather got colder, Feng's Trading Company once again became famous because of the clothes Feng Shao brought back.

Customers have indeed complained about the style of the clothes, but even so, many people still buy them.

Otherwise, this dress is really light and warm.

What’s more, the color of this dress just hit the hearts of those noble ladies for some reason, and they bought ten colors at a time.

Feng's Trading Company sells a piece of clothing for 80 taels and 150 taels, and can make a net profit of 2,000 taels from just one noble girl!

These clothes take up no space and can fit in a carriage. Rounding things off, these are like picking up money on the ground!

The head of the Feng family and Feng Shaoxi almost fainted.

Feng Shao said excitedly: "Dad, I can be sure that the material of these clothes must be cheap. If the recipe can be in our hands, the profit will be increased several times!"

He raised his voice excitedly, "This is still a long-term deal!"

"Buy! You must buy it!" The head of the Feng family slapped the table. "There are also methods for dyeing cloth and methods for processing wool. Buy them all!"

Wool is so cheap. No matter how much you pack it, it's not worth more than a hundred cents per catty. It only costs less than five catties to make clothes that will last you to death, but they sell them for a hundred and fifty a piece!

Huge profits!

Even if they are sold at such a high price because they think they are novel now, even if they are no longer novel in the future and they sell them for ten taels or five taels of silver each, they will still make a lot of money!

Wu's Trading Company had the same idea.

He immediately arranged a team, led by Manager Yang, and rushed to Yucheng with money and a son to find someone to buy the son.

The two families met again at the gate of the capital.

One look at the other person and you understand what the other person wants to do.

Both of them knew that Shopkeeper Qian would not sell the prescription to a family, so although the two families were also in a competitive relationship, they were not in a hurry and had time to quarrel.

The two young masters were irritated with each other, and the two stewards were sarcastic with each other's words.

All in all, this journey has been very exciting.

By the time they arrived at Yucheng, the ground had already been covered with white blankets.

When Feng Shao and Manager Yang left, there were messengers left behind, so they always knew about Mei Qianghua's movements, and naturally knew how popular she was in Yucheng now.

After two days of rest, two families came to visit at the same time.

After hearing their announcement of their intention, Mei Qianghua did not hesitate. She wrote and signed the deed, and the two families acted as third-party guarantors for each other, and they got the two hundred thousand taels.

Feng Shao and Manager Yang proposed another method for processing wool.

She did not hesitate. Once the deed was written and signed, the two families once again acted as third-party guarantors for each other, and received another two hundred thousand taels.

Then he sold them the methods of weaving clothes, weaving cloth and felt, for a total of one hundred thousand taels.

Although the two families wanted to buy out Fangzi, it was a pity that they couldn't come up with so much money.

There are a lot of properties in the trading house that can make a steady stream of money, and there are also a lot of gold and jade items, but there is not so much cash. After all, they still have to pay tribute to the giant Buddha behind them.

As for the dyeing method, neither family wanted it. It was too expensive and they couldn't afford it. She asked for a flat price of 200,000 taels and refused to counter-offer, which was beyond their tolerance.

After the transaction was over, the two families looked at the secret recipe booklet and asked if they had any questions now, otherwise it would be difficult to contact her in the future.

They checked her background when they came. She had been an orphan since she was a child. Although she was not a beggar, she was close to it. When she grew up, she started running errands for people to earn a living. When she got older, she started working as a beggar. She was always the only one who bullied others because of her huge brute strength.

It can be said that her life now is similar to that of the wanderers in those story books, wandering around. This is probably the reason why she spends money lavishly.

After reading the brochure, both families were confused.

The secret recipe booklet was written very clearly, and as long as they were literate, they could basically follow it. But at this time, they felt so mixed in their hearts that they really didn't know how to alleviate the complexity in their hearts.

What is cotton?

It also has a name, Bai Diezi.

What is Bai Diazi?

Oh, that is an ornamental flower in their back garden. Because it is difficult to grow, it is quite precious.

Mei Qianghua looked at them with a smile: "Do you have anything to ask?"

The two families sighed and shook their heads. They couldn't be more clear. There was nothing else to ask.

At this time, they just had a depressing feeling of losing a treasure mountain.

Mei Qianghua waved to them: "Let's go, I'll take you to the best restaurant in Yucheng to have dinner and drink to celebrate."

People from Wu's Trading Company: My heart hurts so much that I can't eat...

People from Feng's Trading Company: My heart hurts so much that I can't eat...

In the end, the entourage of the two families went to a restaurant to get some food and drinks and came back for a meal. After eating, the two families set off back to the capital.

The earlier you act, the sooner you’ll make money!

……

It's snowing heavily outside.

Mei Qianghua put on an aqua blue down jacket that was straight to her calves, stuffed the blue-feathered bird from her chest, leaving only one head exposed, and held up an oil-paper fan with her fur-gloved hand and spread it over her head.

"Let's go see the snow scene."

Except for the patrolling officers and soldiers who were still patrolling conscientiously on the road, everyone else hid in the house, huddled on the kang and did not want to get down.

"Hey, Shopkeeper Qian, where are you going?" The patrolling officers and soldiers were a little surprised to see her going out for a walk in such a cold and snowy day.

"Let's enjoy the snow scenery."

"Then don't freeze, it's quite cold in the snow in Yucheng." Shopkeeper Qian's reputation as a fun-loving person is known throughout Yucheng, and it seems understandable that he goes out to enjoy the snow on a snowy day.

"But which girl in the building have you asked to go with you?" In addition to loving fun, she and her parrot also have a reputation for liking beauties.

When one person and one bird heard this, their eyes lit up, their palms clap, and their wings waved.

"Wonderful, why didn't I expect, snowy weather, beauties, red plums, dancing under the trees, hehehehe..."

Turn around and walk towards Fengyue Street.

The patrolling officers and soldiers looked at the other party's happily leaving figure and were a little confused. They muttered a few words under their breath and then continued patrolling.

……

In less than a year, the man in his twenties looks like he has aged more than ten years, and his usually straight body has long been bent by reality.

"Mom, drink the medicine. After drinking the medicine, you will be well." At this time, he brought a bowl of bitter soup to the mouth of an old woman on the bed and whispered comfort.

"No, it's useless. I'm probably going to go see your brother..." The old woman gasped hard and said, "Don't waste your money on me. No, it's not worth it. Give more, give more Buy some food for the children...they are still so young..."

"mother……"

"grandmother……"

There was a burst of crying in the small and low mud house.

The wooden door that was about to open was pushed open, and a gray-haired old man walked in staggeringly with something bulging in his arms.

Seeing this, the man put the medicine bowl in the hand of the woman next to him, rushed forward to support the gray-haired old man, and called out in a choked tone, "Dad..."

The gray-haired old man's eyes also turned red, but he patted the man's hand comfortingly, "I'm fine."

"I met shopkeeper Qian when I was doing some work for the people in the big house." The criminals who were exiled to the border were cannon fodder, corvees, and free workers.

He took out the things in his arms as he said, "She was kind enough to give me some food."

It's a bag of steamed buns, at least a dozen.

"Give it to your mother. Even if you have to leave..." he said with tears in his eyes, "If you want to leave, you have to eat before you leave..."

When he came to the bedside, he tremblingly took out a still warm steamed bun and handed it to his wife's mouth, "Eat quickly, Shuo'er is not lucky. I went down hungry. You have to eat enough."

Suddenly, the crying in the room that had just stopped started again.

The old woman cried for a while, forced a smile, took the bun from her husband's hand, took a bite, and said, "It's so delicious."

Seeing her slowly eating a steamed bun, her whole body felt better again, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, the gray-haired old man took out a palm-sized clay pot from his arms and said to his son, "Go and pour a bowl of hot water. Not too much, just one or two sips of water."

"I'll go." The woman on one side put the bowl in her hand aside and hurried to the stove at the other end of the room.

With the charcoal fire still having some sparks, he rekindled a fire, scooped a handful of snow from outside the house with a clay pot, and set it on the fire to burn.

Wait for the snow water to boil, pour out the hot water from the bottom of a bowl, and carry it to the bedside.

The gray-haired old man used the spoon that came with the pot to scoop out a spoonful of brown granular stuff from the pot and put it into the bowl. After a little stirring, the granular stuff melted into the water.

He told his son: "Feed it to your mother."

Although the man was curious about what this was, he still obeyed.

The old woman wanted to refuse, but she still drank it under the red eyes of her husband.

The gray-haired old man let out a long breath: "The typhoid medicine given by shopkeeper Qian is said to be effective against wind and cold. Take it three times a day after meals for three days. If it still has no effect, you have to call a doctor."

The man and woman on the side smiled bitterly, didn't they want to call a doctor? I can’t invite you!

Firstly, they have no money, and secondly, they are sinners. Which doctor is willing to treat my mother?

"Shopkeeper Qian is so kind. If you have a chance in the future, you must remember to repay her..." The gray-haired old man couldn't help but smile bitterly at the end. In their situation, how could there be any chance?

He shook his head and suddenly remembered what she said when she learned that she was working for someone in the big house.

Are you willing for your children and grandchildren to lay bricks, build roads and bridges for the sake of someone else’s glorious road?

Of course not!

But... over the years, aren't their other houses just laying bricks, building roads and building bridges for the glorious road of Dafang? Still the kind that doesn’t get rewarded…

Once, the Minister of Rites, who had been an official for more than 20 years, never set up a sacrificial field in his ancestral home, nor did he support his clansmen. He even asked the clansmen to raise money for the expenses of one of their families.

Now that I think about it, I feel like I am losing my mind and going crazy...

"My son, from now on, please don't interact with the other houses. The life or death of the people in the other houses has nothing to do with our family. Likewise, the life or death of our family has nothing to do with them."

"Dad?!" The man was shocked, "Why did you suddenly say such a thing?!"

In the heavy snow, the woman in blue looked at him curiously.

Do you still support a clan that is dragging you down? Do you like the feeling of being inferior to others?

Do you like the feeling of not being human?

of course not.

"Because I want my child to live in this world as a human being, even if he is a sinner, he is a human being, not a slave, a commodity, a stepping stone..."
