Chapter 167

"Brother, we have collected this batch of tea really cheaply. When we go to the merchants, we can double our cost next year."

This red-faced man looked like he was from Yongzhou, with the signature skin color of a Yongzhou man who was blown out by the wind, but his elder brother had a fair complexion and could not see his roots.

Moreover, the younger brother of the two, the elder brother dressed in coarse cloth, was dressed in a plain brocade robe, and they looked completely different from each other.

It turned out that they were the children of ordinary people in Wuwei County, Yongzhou. The family had accumulated more than ten years, and they were blessed by God. The people in the family were free from illness and disaster, and although the weather was not smooth, at least they did not encounter natural disasters. With the strength of the family, a scholar was confessed, that is, the white-faced and brocade-robed scholar Qiao Shengli.But on the one hand, Wuwei's literary students are not prosperous, and on the other hand, Qiao Shengli's talent is limited. He was a scholar in high school, and after failing several times in the local examinations, he decisively abandoned literary studies and went into business, and took his brothers at home to venture out.

If it were said that the scholars were knowledgeable, they saw the bustling Jiangnan and the capital full of talents from the books, which broadened their horizons. Therefore, Qiao Shengli did not take his younger brother to do business at home, but took him directly to the south of the Yangtze River.

Fortunately, the two brothers grew up in the yellow land, and they are in good shape. They even walked and took a boat all the way, and they forced a way to the south of the Yangtze River.

There are a lot of goods in the south of the Yangtze River, and the price is cheap. The brothers used all their savings to buy salt and silk tea back home. They used the small cart at home to push the goods to the south of Qilian Mountain where there are few caravans. They used a little salt, tea and silk. , in exchange for a lot of income.

It took a year to come and go, but the income from this trip allowed the Qiao family to spend a fat year with their money.

This is the third year that the Qiao family brothers have been in business. They traveled down the Yellow River to the south of the Yangtze River in early summer. After finding cheap and good goods, they returned to their hometown in Wuwei. After returning home for a short rest, they were about to set off for Qilian Mountain Deep sell.The colder and deeper the winter, the faster the goods are sold and the more expensive they are.

It is very hard for the two brothers to do business like this all year round, but they are very satisfied.

Now it is time to return from shipping for another year, and the two brothers stand on the passenger ship, rarely having a leisurely time.

Seeing that the younger brother was happy, the elder brother Qiao Shengli glanced aside, seeing that no one was paying attention to the two brothers, he said, "We are about to arrive at Jincheng, and after Tianshui, we have to disembark and go overland. You have to rest in the cabin these few days, and we have time to work hard."

The younger brother, Qiao Jiayi, smiled innocently, "We farmers are just impatient to rest. If we are at home, I am afraid that we are working with Da Da at the moment. This business is already very easy."

The eldest brother Qiao Shengli saw his younger brother like this, so he didn't say anything more, but looked at the wide river in a daze.

"Brother, look quickly! What is there? God has appeared?"

The exclamation of younger brother Qiao Jiayi not only brought Qiao Shengli back to his senses, he looked in the direction his younger brother was pointing at, but also attracted the attention of the young and old on board and looked forward.

On the edge of the blue sky, there are not only white clouds floating, but also a colorful eaves. Under the sunlight, it looks as bright as a corner of the heavenly palace.

Seeing this, an old man on the boat knelt down on his knees and called out "miracle" and "God descended to earth". The younger brother Qiao Jiayi wanted to kneel down with the old man, but was held back by the elder brother, "Look carefully, the colorful glass Under the eaves is a wooden house."

Only then did Qiao Jiayi take a closer look, "It seems so, hey old man, it's not a miracle, someone built the house!"

The old man just got up and looked over carefully, people's eyes are good nowadays, he was in a trance just now, now he looked over carefully, isn't it, under the five-color roof is an ordinary house.

"Who built this house? They used the legendary glass. My dear, if I have this good thing in my life, I would be reluctant to use it like this."

On an ordinary boat, everyone looked at the five-color roof that got closer and brighter, and sighed more and more. When they got near Jincheng, they found that it turned out to be a beautiful building in Jincheng. I will take another look at Jincheng.

"Brother, when we passed by in the past, there was nothing in Jincheng, but now it looks like it. Not only has a pier for docking boats been built, but the city is also popular, and it is not so gloomy."

Qiao Jiayi and the boatman were old acquaintances, so he dared to put the goods on the boat, and he and his elder brother went into Jincheng to watch the excitement.

Moreover, not only this merchant ship, but more than a dozen ships docked outside Jincheng Wharf. According to the gate officer commanding the ships, there are many boats going to Jincheng every day to watch the excitement these days.

Everyone walked unsteadily on Jincheng Street, but their destinations were all five-color roofs in the north of Jincheng.

"Brother, we're here!"

The buildings in Jincheng are simple, and they are all one-story houses. Only the five-color roof is dazzling and can be seen from a long distance.

Follow the Five-color Ding to the North City, and a spacious and magnificent building comes into view.

The buildings are lined up from east to west, which is incompatible with the local buildings in Jincheng, and looks indescribably spacious and grand.

Moreover, this row of houses is full of tall doors and windows, but they are not made of white paper, but transparent objects of unknown origin, making the interior of the house very bright.

The two brothers approached the big house, and they were even more amazed, "Brother, the house built by this thing is really bright. If our family adopts this, then everyone from all over the world will come to see it. How many more years will you live?"

The brothers of the Qiao family looked at him hotly, and murmured in a low voice.

"I just don't know how much it will cost? Our capital is all in the goods, and we don't know if we can get them home together."

Qiao Shengli had calmed down from the impact of the five-color roof and the glass at this moment, looked towards the third floor with the signboard of "Jincheng Grocery Store", and said, "Just go in and ask how much it is."

With that said, he walked into the grocery store.

The main body of the grocery store is made of wood, but the floor on the first floor is paved with whole pieces of bluestone, which is simple and atmospheric, and the doors and windows are made of transparent glass, which makes people feel clean inside the house. Bright and atmospheric.

The display of this grocery store is similar to the display when they were in Jiangnan. There are rows of wooden cabinets behind which are all kinds of goods.

But the difference is that the wooden cabinet is attached to three walls, and behind the wooden cabinet on each wall, there are a few smiling guys standing there to greet people who enter the store.

The Qiao family brothers looked over, and their faces changed. Here are displayed the tea, salt and silk they transported all the way from the south of the Yangtze River, as well as other products from the Western Regions such as gems, medicinal materials, furs and so on.

"Man, how do you sell this tea?"

Qiao Jiayi couldn't bear it, and asked first.

The clerk smiled all over his face, "Chenghui, ordinary tea costs ten or twenty renminbi. If you want better ones, here are Jiangnan famous tea and Qionglai mist tea. The grades and prices vary."

Only then did Qiao Jiayi heave a sigh of relief. The price of the tea was that of the sellers on the market, and it was much more expensive than the price they bought from Jiangnan.

However, what the buddy said immediately made the Qiao family brothers nervous again, "Of course, this is the retail price. If you want more, it can be cheaper."

The Qiao family brothers looked at each other, "What if we want a large quantity?"

"Guest, the first floor of our grocery store is for individual customers, and the second floor is for wholesale business. You can go to the second floor to have a look."

The two brothers just went up to the second floor and entered the second floor. It was brighter than the first floor, and all kinds of products were clearly displayed.

"Shopkeeper, what do you say about the tea wholesale?"

"The guest officer is asking what kind of tea?"

"These types."

Qiao Jiayi pointed to the cheapest types of tea. The shopkeeper looked back and quoted the price casually, "It's more than ten stones, and the tea leaves cost one tael or six cents."

If the two brothers add up, this is a little higher than their cost price from Jiangnan to Jincheng. If the grocery store opened earlier, the two brothers can buy tea from here and go to the depths of Qilian Mountain to sell goods without having to personally I went to Jiangnan.

In some grocery stores, this year, there will be more people grabbing land from their brothers to do exclusive business, so maybe the two brothers have to go farther.
