Stingy Husband Farming

During the year, I don't know how many stores' warehouses were robbed.For the sake of safety, the Zhong family moved the goods from the original store warehouse to the inverted room of their own house, and the servants went to check it once a day.

Therefore, Senior Brother Zhong led Shen Mu and Song Bai directly through his garden.Coincidentally, I met Brother Zhong's second and third aunts sitting in the garden.

"Liang Jun, who did you bring to the house?" Second Aunt Zhong saw Shen Mu and Song Bai behind Senior Brother Zhong, and frowned in displeasure: "I can't open the pot anymore, why are you still waiting for three days?" Help those former classmates of yours at both ends."

Third Aunt Zhong also chimed in and said, "That's right, why don't you spend that money on your brothers? Liangji said a few days ago when he asked you for some blue and gold satin to make clothes and you didn't give it to him. That's your cousin. You didn’t turn your elbows outward like you did.”

Senior Brother Zhong felt a little anxious: "Third Aunt, you don't know how much a piece of green gold satin is. It's the goods in the shop and it's on the public account. How can you take it at will?"

Aunt Zhong patted the table: "Then you are selling it? So much goods are accumulated in the warehouse, and the dividends at the end of the year can't be paid out. Liang Ji has no money to make clothes, so he can't take them from the warehouse? Do you want to watch your money?" I'm happy that my younger brother is as raggy as your classmates?"

"What did Third Aunt say!" Brother Zhong was also angry: "These two are the guests who came to see the goods at home, Third Aunt, don't talk nonsense and offend others."

"Guest?" Second Aunt Zhong sneered, "Who are you bluffing? Take it as if I don't recognize him, but is that your wife's little brother?" Mu was somewhat impressed. "I'll see how much he can afford."

Senior Brother Zhong was very angry, but because of his elders, he couldn't directly quarrel with him in the garden, so he was about to leave sullenly.Unexpectedly, Song Bai said from behind: "What you said, what if I buy too much, so what if I buy less?"

Second Aunt Zhong didn't expect that this poor boy dared to talk to her, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and carefully sized Song Bai up.

"Xiao Song, I'm sorry, this is my family matter, they are targeting me..." Senior Brother Zhong hastily apologized to Song Bai.

The second bedroom and the third bedroom just want to take the right to operate the shop from their big house by using excuses.Song Bai and Shen Mu had suffered a disaster completely out of nowhere.

Second Aunt Zhong also finished looking at Song Bai. She didn't have any rich or expensive items on her body, and she was relieved. She only thought that the young man was too arrogant to export, so she sneered and said, "What can I do? You can buy more. It doesn't matter if you buy less, I don't care about it. Buy as much as you want, our second house doesn't want this dividend, it all belongs to your first house!"

It looks like I still can't see such a small amount of money.

Song Bai glanced at Aunt Zhong: "Does this person think so too?"

Third Aunt Zhong didn't take Song Bai seriously either, she was quite happy to take this opportunity to stab Senior Brother Zhong, so she nodded.

Brother Zhong's face flushed red.

"Brother, let's go, let's look at the goods." Song Bai stopped looking at the two of them, pulled Shen Mu and followed Zhong Liangjun to the warehouse.

Shen Mu just kept silent. He lowered his head and looked at himself for a long time. After walking a long distance, he said sullenly, "Are we... dressed in rags? Did we embarrass our senior brother?"

He just looked aside for a long time, and he felt that there was nothing wrong with his clothes.There are no patches, clean and tidy, and the fabric is also 25 cents a foot of fine cotton, which is not much better than the six cents a foot of coarse cloth he used to wear in Shenjiatun.

But even with such a dress, it still humiliated the senior brother and caused the senior brother to be criticized by relatives.

Song Bai held his hand and patted it reassuringly. In front of Senior Brother Zhong, he couldn't directly speak ill of those two aunts, but he scolded him a dozen times in his heart.

What kind of rich wife do you think you are?I just don't like to dress too high-profile, and the clothes on those two aunts are so good, even Song Xiaomei's pair of socks can't compare!

It was Senior Brother Zhong who said, "Don't take it to heart, Xiao Mu. They just came after me for nothing. It's not that you embarrassed Senior Brother, it's that Senior Brother got involved with you." Before the disaster came suddenly, Senior Brother Zhong helped a lot. Less classmates.Like when Shen Mu was in the county, he also asked Butler Zhong to deliver a lot of food.

Now that the family is in trouble, it has become a reason for the second and third bedrooms to run on him.

Rubbing his forehead, Senior Brother Zhong said again: "Why don't you forget about it. I'm really sorry that you have been dispatched for no reason."

"No need." Song Bai smiled: "The two of you just agreed, and all the profits from this business will go to you, brother, and they don't need a share of the second and third bedrooms. Why should the brother have trouble with money?"

Seeing Song Bai's insistence, Senior Brother Zhong didn't say much, and led them into the warehouse.

Song Bai took advantage of the time when he took the key to open the warehouse door, and secretly squeezed Shen Mu: "Don't think too much, there are those superficial people in this world who respect clothes first and others, don't be as knowledgeable as them. Wait for us Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to make this deal and let them watch the money come in but not get a point?"

Shen Mu also thought about it: "Then you have to sign the paper in black and white. Don't say empty words at that time because they will turn their faces and deny it. Among other things, we don't want them to get a piece of our family's money."

Just so narrow-minded!

Brother Zhong opened the door, and when he heard this sentence when he turned around, he couldn't help laughing, and agreed: "Okay, I'll let the servants prepare paper and pen documents." But he thought in his heart, such a little business, his second aunt The third aunt is afraid that she really won't take it to heart.

But to make the younger brother happier, he was also willing to slap the second and third wards in the face, so he ordered someone to draw up a written proof and send it to the second and third wards: "Remember, you must do it in front of my second and third uncles. , let them sign it."

Compared with the women in the inner house, men have better face.Don't say whether this business can be done, just turn this matter to the bright side for yourself, and the two uncles will be able to reprimand the aunts.

Also let yourself vent.

After explaining these things, the three of them entered the warehouse.

The Zhong family has quite a lot of fabrics, and they are all expensive fabrics.The price of cheap coarse cloth and cotton cloth has risen a lot during the disaster year, but they can also be sold slowly.These expensive ones are really hard to sell.

Brother Zhong pointed to the room full of colorful cloths and said: "This room is full of samples. There are at least 20 more of each color and color. Whichever one you like, I will ask someone to record the number."

After finishing speaking, he thought that he was kind enough to lure Shen Mu to a place where the fabrics were cheaper: "These plain silks are very well-dyed, and they can still be sold in the county town. Originally, a piece cost seven coins, but now In a calamity year, five coins will do."

He also said: "Nowadays the world is not good, business is not easy, and we have brotherhood. Whatever you like, you will take it at [-]% of the price."

This price is considered very fair, Song Bai listened from the side.Although it would not lose money, it only made a little bit.

Shen Mu nodded ignorantly, he didn't understand these expensive fabrics at all, so he could only look at Song Bai.

But his eyes caught a piece of cloth, which looked very familiar.

It seems that both Song Xiaomei and Song Xie have worn this material.Shen Mu couldn't help but took a few steps over there, and touched the cloth with his hand.

Senior Brother Zhong hesitated for a moment: "This one..." This one is the blue-gold satin that his cousin was looking for.In the fabric warehouse of their Zhong family, it is also considered a very good material: "This green gold satin costs 30 taels of silver for a piece. It also costs 20 taels after folding. If you like it, I will give you a few feet, enough to make it clothed."

Shen Mu shook his head: "I don't like this kind of clothes, I'm afraid of wearing them, and I'm always worried about breaking them."

Senior Brother Zhong smiled, he knew how stingy his little junior brother was.

Shen Mu continued: "I just think it looks familiar... Do we have a few horses in our family?"

These words were addressed to Song Bai.

"It's not like this, the ones at home are black and blue plain satin." It was the few pieces of fabric that Song Xiaomei despised and left behind, but Shen Mu picked it up and took it away. "You have to learn to recognize the fabric in the future. Whether you like it or not is one thing. Our family will also open a shop in the future. As the master of the family, how can you not know the fabric?"

Song Bai glanced at Senior Brother Zhong.This senior brother is a good person, but... In fact, until now, he still doesn't believe that he and Shen Mu can afford the cloth.Pulling Shen Mu over, pointing to him one by one: "This is Pingluo, a thick silk fabric woven with ribs; this is jacquard silk, this is floral satin..." Song Bai took his fancy , showing Shen Mu the fabrics that he thinks can be purchased one by one, and teaching him to identify them.

Senior Brother Zhong was listening and found that Shen Mu's husband was quite knowledgeable.And according to what Song Bai just said, a shop will also be opened in the future.It seems that my junior brother is going to have a good fortune.

Brother Zhong was thinking comfortingly, then he saw Song Bai turned his head and said to him: "Brother, I need twenty pieces of the fabrics I just mentioned."

Senior Brother Zhong: "..."

Senior Brother Zhong's soul wandered back: "What?"

He didn't listen to what Song Bai said just now... "Do you know how much these cloths are worth?" Senior Brother Zhong swallowed.In fact, he knew in his heart that Song Bai could accurately tell the names and characteristics of so many fabrics, so how could he know nothing about the prices?

"I know, according to the market price, it is 19 taels per horse, plain silk is seven qian, jacquard silk is one or three thousand, Wuluo is 22 taels, and Qingshui Luo is eight taels..." After finishing speaking, he remembered that this place was not Xing'an County, and his brows frowned slightly: "It should be about the same price, right? Brother also said that he would give us a [-]% discount?"

Brother Zhong couldn't remember the exact prices of so many fabrics for a while, so he hurriedly called the accountant to come over with the ledgers, and sure enough, the price of a pair was the same. To be precise, Song Bai's quotations were generally a little higher than the market price.

"It really is the difference between the north and the south...the fabrics in the south are cheaper than those in the north." Song Bai sighed.

Senior Brother Zhong still couldn't believe it: "You really want that much? Twenty horses?" He pointed to a Ping Luo at hand and said, "This one is discounted, so it costs 13 taels..."

Song Bai nodded, then shook his head again.

Senior Brother Zhong showed a "sure enough" expression.

But he didn't want Song Bai to continue, "We need twenty horses for each color. Like these colors," Song Bai pointed to the popular red, goose yellow, royal blue, autumn fragrance, and rouge in the market. color, said: "If there are enough stocks, I can eat forty horses of these colors."
