Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 142
On this day, except for the goods left for personal use or given away, the shipment of southern goods and northern goods brought back from Huai'an were all sold out.

Yang brought dinner to Huo Erhuai, while Huo Xi and Yang Fu settled accounts at home.

At the beginning, two thousand pieces of linen were sold for eight cents a piece, and some were evened out, leaving 90 pieces for myself.Except for the [-] horses I kept for my own use and gave away, I almost earned nearly [-] taels.This is the big head.

I kept some fur goods at home, and sold them for 100 taels, and I made almost fifty taels.There are not many candied pears and dates, and the profit is less than ten taels.

There are three stones left in the sugar.If it is sold out, you can also make a profit of more than [-] taels.

Calculated in this way, Mabuli is the largest, nearly doubled.Followed by leather goods, there are nearly fifty-six out of ten profits.Sugar and candied pears and dates are the thinnest.

Why is it that the food in the capital is not easy to sell, but the clothes are easy to sell?

It seems that the life-improving business can't be done now, and we have to think about the food and clothing of the people.

Huo Xi frowned as she looked at the ledger, her thoughts wandering.

Yang Fu watched from the side, only listening to Huo Xi calculate how much he earned for each category, and how much he earned in total, he was very happy.Turning her head to see Xi'er frowning, not as happy as him, she put some thought into it.

Watching her from the sidelines.

Before it got dark, Mrs. Yang returned with a worried expression on her face.

"What's the matter, mother? Is there something wrong with Dad?"

"What happened to brother-in-law?"

Yang patted him, "Can't you expect your brother-in-law to order?"

"Then why are you so sad?"

Yang sighed, "It's Zou Sheng's grandma."

"What happened to Grandma Zou?"

"Didn't she go back to the ship from the medical center? She has been on the ship for the past two days, and her condition has been repeated. Maybe it's because the weather is cold and she can't stand it. Hey, she is old. If there is land and houses in the village, she can still Go back to the village to raise them."

"Then what should I do? This is repeated over and over again, will the illness get better?"

"No. That's why your brother-in-law can't see it, and feels sorry for her. He wants to lend her our yard for a few days, let her live there, and return to the ship when she recovers from her illness."

"This..." Yang Fu glanced at Huo Xi, "Did my brother-in-law tell his family?"

"No. Your brother-in-law just had this idea in his heart and told me. I thought about coming back all the way. There is a place where we live, but we can let her live in it to recuperate..." As he spoke, he looked at two child glance.

I don't know what the two children think.

Yang Fu agreed in his heart.It's nothing, and it won't delay his family.Just borrow a house for her to recuperate.

But seeing that Huo Xi didn't open his mouth, he was afraid that she would disagree.Looking at her, Huo Xi was about to speak for her, when Huo Xi spoke.

"Okay. Mom, tell Dad to let him pick him up."

"Ah? Xi'er, don't you want to add someone to our family?"

"I don't think so. I saw my parents working hard before, and I still want to hire small workers to buy people."

"Ah? Don't want it. Our family's life is a little bit better these days. What kind of small labor is needed. We can't buy servants. We can't put green onions to pretend to be elephants. What kind of servants should we buy in this capacity." Yang waved her hand, disagreeing .

"Well, I know mother."

Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing that the two children agreed to bring them here, a smile appeared on their faces.

"We're just borrowing her to stay for a few days, and it doesn't matter to us. We don't have any valuables in our courtyard now. All the things are sold out, and the rest are for us to use and give away."

"There are still three stones of brown sugar." Yang Fu called out.

According to him, since there are people buying from Mochou Lake, they can just sell it, and they don't want to wait for the price to rise if they stay.But his sister insisted on selling it on the boat, saying that she would sell it to women begging for life on the water.

How could those people be willing to eat such expensive brown sugar.

But Xi'er also agreed, so he couldn't say anything more.

His sister now drinks a bowl of brown sugar distiller's grains and eggs every day, and previously forced him and Xi'er to drink it.He didn't want to drink at all, it was because Xi'er said that children can't drink, so he didn't follow suit.

"Sister, I just calculated the benefits of these goods with Xi'er just now."

"Really, can it be figured out?" Yang's eyes lit up when she heard this, she ran into the room and took a look at Huo Nian, then came out with a heavy box in her arms.

I changed some bank notes before, otherwise I couldn't move them.

"Tell me quickly, what is the most profitable, and how much did you earn?"

"Mabuli is the biggest, followed by leather goods."

"Ah, leather goods are more profitable?" Yang was a little puzzled. When she couldn't sell them before, she was very worried.

Huo Xi nodded: "That leather is well made, and it's rare in the south, so it's expensive. We sell every piece of leather goods twice as much. If we sell all the leftovers from our family, it's worth the money. , the profit will be bigger."

"Then let's sell them for money!" Yang's eyes lit up surprisingly.

Huo Xi disagreed: "I won't sell it anymore. The water is colder than the land, and the wind from the river makes people's faces hurt. I plan to save it for our family to make clothes."

Huo Xi didn't want to sell it anymore.Yang can't help it either.

Although it is a pity in my heart, it is also sweet.It is much more cost-effective to buy it from a cheap seller at home than to spend money to buy it outside.

"We sold those brown sugars for only seven or eight cents more per catty than the original price. We sold them all out and earned less than 20 taels. We won't sell brown sugar in the future. It's still heavy on the ship. We have taken good care of it all the way back until now. I'm afraid it will get wet. It's not worth it."

When Huo Xi talked about those brown sugars, she got so little profit, she didn't want to sell them anymore.

Yang wanted to say that 20 taels is a lot.But when he thought of making money from linen and leather goods, he shut up.

The profit is low, if the ship is requisitioned next year, Xi'er probably won't be selling brown sugar.She doesn't even want to sell it.She has to look at the pile of brown sugar in the house several times a day, squatting down to look carefully, for fear of the sugar water.

"We don't make a lot of candied pears and dates. I'm always worried that it will go bad and moldy, and I'm worried that people will come to my door if they eat it." This business of eating is less profitable, and she doesn't want to do it.

"That's right, we won't sell candied pears and dates anymore." Yang Fu nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Yang has been selling goods these days. Seeing the bustle of her stall, she feels that she has nothing to worry about selling. She feels that her brown sugar can help women take care of her body, and she feels a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

I still want to sell brown sugar.

But after listening to Huo Xi's analysis, he felt that doing business was not about attracting customers, just being smooth-talking.She has to be as good at analysis as Xi'er, the situation of the customers, the place where the goods are sold, the purchase price and sales price, etc., and she has to calculate all kinds of data that she doesn't understand.

For example, if you go to Huai'an together, others will transport a cargo and earn 20 taels, while you only earn [-] taels.You also loaded more than others, and the draft of the boat was heavy, and you were exhausted from rowing all the way back.

After all the hard work, the goods are sold out, the voice is hoarse from yelling, and the legs are numb. Why don't you get more profit than others, so I ask you if you are angry?

So, I still have to listen to Xi'er in the future.

"Okay, our family will listen to Xi'er from now on. We will sell whatever Xi'er says."

"Sister, are you still thinking about selling goods? Our family's goods are all sold out!"

"Isn't our family still running a grocery store on the water? Your brother-in-law sells goods in the village along the river these days, and they sell well."

"Really?" Huo Xi didn't get on the ship for several days, and he didn't know what was going on on the ship.

Hearing Yang's words, she was quite impatient.

　Ah, it's been cloudy and rainy for the past two days, and the quilt can't be dried~ I have to cover it for a few more days.
