Yuan Fu Nushu

Chapter 308, the guests come like clouds

There is a big brazier in this room, there is no other thing to keep warm, but fortunately He Ning removed the snow clothes in the shop, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay warm for long.

The scholar rushing for the exam was entertained by the Huguo Gongfu. Qi Xi fully appreciated the benefits of the cage fire. The brazier would be dry for heating, and the room could not be sealed. Half the door or window had to be opened to let the charcoal gas out. The heating power was uneven. It may happen that the body is warm and the feet still feel the coldness transmitted by the ground, and the ground near the brazier is warm and close to the wall, but it is still cold.

Yuanxiu, Yanyan, and Lvzhu did not lack money when they set up shops and houses, and Beijing was far colder than Xinji in winter. Qi Xi asked the girls for their opinions, from the shop to the main room to the backyard where the guys slept, a large-scale renovation Into the cage fire style.

Mrs. Hou of Nanyang felt comfortable when she came in, and said that she would send more charcoal fires for Yanyan. Yanyan and Lvzhu enjoyed it even more in such words. When it was good, He Ning came in and delivered the list of goods.

Luzhu cheered and stood up, took the list with both hands, Yanyan glanced at her mother-in-law quietly, seeing that she was fine this time, and she didn't show any expression that she thought it was inappropriate.

Yanyan is still wary of her mother-in-law saying unpleasant things again, just to maintain the so-called decency of the Nahou Mansion

.

Go to his Hou's mansion to be decent, Yanyan thinks that I am a boss now, I don't need it, besides, no matter which family is decent, it should help others with kindness. Call the family decent.

Besides, she is very proud in her heart. Uncle Yuan's furs are always of the highest quality, and Sister Xiu is willing to share them. The reason for Yuan Xiu's distribution is as follows: "Since I am a shareholder in the store, the goods that belong to me should also be distributed to you." .

This batch of filial piety for their daughters is actually a return gift paid by the Duke of the country, so there is a store.

Just being proud of sister Xiu's another gift, Yanyan can't afford to show up when her mother-in-law arrives. The reason for her pride at this moment is that before He Ning came in, Madam Hou of Nanyang said that the fur Yanyan got last time was given to each of her in-laws. The pieces have already been made and are ready to be worn during the New Year.

The fur Yuanyuan brought back was really good, not because Yuanyuan or Hua Tianyu had the idea of ​​a businessman, but because there were very few fairs in the northwestern border city, and the fairs could not be held as scheduled if there was any banditry, and the nearby people could not exchange items.

And the various caravans passing from the inland generally only go outside Lanyuan City.

Sometimes it has nothing to do with boldness, the road is really difficult, the left wheel is on the flat ground, and the right wheel is hanging over the pit on the flat ground. This is a common occurrence.

Then you need to be bold. If you leave the city, there will be bandits and robbers at any time. If the caravan who has the courage to receive the goods does not accept some good things, the money for the escort will not be enough.

Fur with blemishes?
Mark down the price.

Fur soaked?

Mark down the price.

You said fur is not afraid of water?Then no more, you can keep it and sell it to the next caravan that will come over in a year.

With courage and a knife in hand, the purchase price of caravans that venture into the vicinity of border towns can be close to Ming Qiang, and facing a small village with more than a dozen people, there is indeed a caravan Ming Qiang.

The price of herbs is not dry enough, the price is not enough at the beginning of the year, and the price of stems and leaves is not complete. In fact, some herbs only need leaves or roots.

There are risks in buying and selling, and the price fluctuates violently. If you cultivate people who sell things, try to tidy up as much as possible, and make a deal as soon as you take it out. Are you picking faults?Well, I won't sell it anymore, I really leave it for the next caravan that will come in an unknown year, and it won't be too late for me to sell it.

Yun Zhan is a wise and experienced son-in-law. Among the first batch of goods he prepared were various daily necessities, such as salt.Like a needle, like a thread, everyone needs these.

Animal bones and stones can be used to grind bone needles and stone needles. You can find hemp-like plants and hemp in the mountains, and you can get thread if you grow cotton. Except for wine and meat, it is also very popular in border towns.

The things they got back were quite good. Take the fur as an example, it was in good condition and complete, and was highly sought after by rich people in prosperous places.

It is sought after, not just loved.

The Marquis of Nanyang has been sending water and vegetables to Yanyan every day and grain and rice on a monthly basis. Yanyan asked Luzhu and gave her in-laws two sets of fox fur enough to make clothes. Luan Jing and Feng took it for granted that they didn't. where are they?
I just heard her mother-in-law's praise today, and received Northwest Fur, Yan Yanxi had two cheeks, proud and uninvited.

Mrs. Nanyang Hou really didn't expect that Green Bamboo jumped up with cheers today. She didn't behave like a female family member. When she heard the word "Northwest Fur", she moved her body together, and she also wanted to see what goods came in.

The fur in the Northwest is really good, and the items sent by Yanyan are full of praise from her in-laws. The Marquis of Nanyang has already said that after the clothes are made, he will wear them in the crown clothes during the New Year celebrations. For Mrs. Nanyang Marquis, it will be a few years A rare new dress.

The new clothes I usually make are incomparable.

While speaking, he took out a tiger skin and showed it to everyone. The colorful colors and the craftsmanship of the tanning process were good, which made Mrs. Nanyang Hou's eyes fixed on it.

She is also in charge of her in-law's shop and her own shop. Sincerely thinking that the goods her daughter-in-law bought are hard to find elsewhere, when she was about to boast a few words, the shop assistant replied: "Sister Hui's father-in-law is here, and he brought us some Good shipment."

Yanyan's eyes lit up, she hurriedly said please, and explained to Mrs. Nanyanghou: "This is a relative." Mrs. Nanyanghou was thinking about goods, and said with a smile: "If it is a relative, I will see you too."

The shopkeeper Zheng came in with traces of wind and snow, holding a big paper bag in his hand: "The goods have not yet entered the gate of Beijing, and the ship is half frozen. Let's change vehicles. I said to take a step back and forth, aunts and grandmas. It will look like tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." It’s just arrived, take a look first, if you’re not satisfied, I’ll sell it in the market myself.”

The paper bag was opened, and there were dozens of small paper bags inside. When it was opened again, Mrs. Nanyang Hou's eyes widened.

This bag is either pitch black or pure white, and contains scallops, scallops, dried mussels, oyster yellows, palm-sized dried shrimps, dried sea cucumbers, cuttlefish, and longan.

This is a treasure in the Chinese New Year dishes in Beijing.

Mrs. Hou of Nanyang is a wife of a family. She knows the weight of these goods appearing in the New Year's goods market. Judging from the appearance in front of her, the supply will exceed the demand, and there are still many rich people in Beijing.

She also knew that when the Nanyang Hou Mansion invites New Year's wine, a few dishes like this will be set out, which will attract the praise of the guests.

She stared blankly.

He Ning asked with a smile: "Uncle Zheng, you said us, whose goods are there?"

Luzhu brought hot tea to shopkeeper Zheng, and he took a few mouthfuls in a hurry: "It's not that I'm boasting, if you guys don't match, I'll sell it for sure. The head of my family visited a few big markets, and I kept in mind what kind of goods are sold in the capital during the Chinese New Year. Sister Hui bought a share, and as a father-in-law, I can’t just sit around and watch. I want to make something unusual for you guys. For the goods, I left in autumn and went straight to the south. I had a few merchants in the south who I knew visited their homes. Not only did they get these goods, but I also persuaded a few brothers to come with the goods. I just want to go all over the place for business. All over the world, there is no money for sitting at home. They all know that the capital is prosperous and easy to make money, but they have no place to store their goods, and they are afraid of being cheated and blackmailed. I told them that they would believe me in business transactions over the years. If you don’t come here in person, aunts and grandpas, Mr. He, you can talk about it yourself, let them send top-notch goods over the New Year’s Eve, and make a fortune during the New Year’s Eve, which is also my part of the effort for Sister Hui.”

Yanyan introduced Mrs. Nanyang Hou to him. After the shopkeeper Zheng understood the relationship, she was not very respectful.

What Madam Hou?Is it as big as a princess?

Whoever puts your wife in the eyes of Mrs. Hou, let alone Liu Gen whispered a few words that sister Qi's husband's family is not good, and the shopkeeper Zheng is not willing to give it to the Marquis of Nanyang casually. Madam send respect.

But Mrs. Nanyang Hou's dumbfounded appearance fell into the eyes of shopkeeper Zheng, and shopkeeper Zheng thought to himself, hmph, most of the female family members of aristocratic families have dowry shops, do you like my goods?I do not serve.

Shopkeeper Zheng is tactful, but he also has his own pride.

Today is a day when customers come like clouds, Yanyan thinks about it, this is to let her mother-in-law see with her own eyes that she is doing well after leaving her husband's house, and when a layer of brilliance is added to her face, Zaohua, who is back to work in the kitchen, walks away with a smile Come: "Look who is here."

Aunt Yuancai came in with a big bamboo basket on her back, smiling all over her face: "I'm here to give a New Year's gift, you must accept it."

The bamboo basket hit the ground with a heavy sound, and the green bamboo snatched it up to see: "How much weight do you carry on your back?" She tried to move it, but the basket didn't move, and the green bamboo groaned and supported her waist: "I seem to be twisted." Biyun Help her sit up.

"It weighs fifty catties, where do you move it?" Aunt Yuancai went out to get things out one by one: "I steamed the steamed buns myself, put a lot of red dates, you can also use them when you worship the Kitchen God during the New Year, this is fried by myself. Aren’t you entertaining guests during Chinese New Year? Sister Xiu always comes over to sit and sit. These are eggs. I raise the hen myself. On the first day of the new year, I eat chicken eggs with brown sugar. It’s sweet all year round. "

　There is also Yuan Caigu in Beijing, and I have not forgotten her, so I let her make her debut.
