Chapter 32 Is it safe to go to another city?
Fan Jin retracted his heavy gaze, pursed his lips, and hummed softly.
Then he explained: "My cousin is very smart, a little too smart;
There are not many people in his family. He can peel five catties of chicken head rice in the morning, but there is no reason to only one catty in the afternoon. According to my understanding of him, he may want to go to the capital city to find a way to bypass us and do this business directly."
Unfortunately, he was too smart this time.
The chicken head rice business is not in the capital city, or even in the entire Ming country.
Shui Qing also laughed, "Let him do it. There are so many profitable businesses outside, but he doesn't want to do it and poach customers. He is really a 'capable and smart person' when his family just started a small business!"
Commonly known as being a bully in his own home.
"Yes, should we pretend not to know or not accept him?" Fan Jin unconsciously followed Shui Qing's opinion.
Shuiqing thought for a moment and said, "He just brought a small amount today. It's not right to refuse him rashly. Let him make a fuss, and bring out all the unstable people in the crowd. Then we won't accept him."
Acquisition must be stable. No matter whether it is the buyer or the seller, the agreement is the agreement, and it can't be taken as empty words.
Fan Jin smiled lightly and agreed.
The two moved all the chicken head rice into the house and closed the doors and windows.
Shuiqing clicked on the mall page to confirm the sale.
Ding Dong, the balance of 6,840 yuan has been credited!
Shuiqing immediately clicked on the total amount. Including the sale of chicken mushrooms and chicken head rice at noon, the total amount has reached 10,296 yuan.
Tens of thousands.
Shuiqing suddenly felt so rich.
"Do you want to open the medicine first?" Fan Jin asked in a low voice.
Shuiqing came back to her senses from her joy and shook her head: "Don't open the medicines yet, wait until we need them urgently or we have enough balance before opening them."
"Okay, I calculated that we purchased a total of 84 kilograms of chicken head rice today, and we need to pay 210 kilograms of rice. How much do you think it will cost?" Fan Jin reminded.
Chicken head rice is not like mushrooms, which is a business without capital. It needs to pay a part.
"Okay." Shuiqing found the rice category, found the previous option, and reported the corresponding weight: "Rice at two yuan per kilogram, 210 kilograms originally cost 420 yuan, and there is a discount for buying more, only 410 yuan."
Fan Jin:...Will the mall really not lose money?
Why is rice, which everyone loves to eat, so cheap?
And they are everywhere here, and the worthless mushrooms and chicken head rice are as expensive as a sky-high price...
Shuiqing ignored Fan Jin. She first bought dozens of kilograms and put them in her own sacks, and then added more than ten kilograms of flour.
Looking at the full bag of grain, she was very happy.
She didn't like to stock up in the past, but she had only been here for two days and felt that it was never too much to stock up.
"I have agreed with the owner of the medicine shop that if there is more Polygonum multiflorum, I will still send it to him. I think I can send it again tomorrow;
Then I will send it alternately three or four days, five or six days before winter comes, and just say that it was found in the surrounding hills, so it shouldn't be too conspicuous." Fan Jin waited until Shui Qing bought the food and said.
Shui Qing hummed, "It will fluctuate up and down according to today's weight?"
Today, eight taels were sold, although only three taels were left, but that was because the family had just separated and was penniless and had nothing to buy. Everything was missing, so it was much more expensive to buy things.
Oh, "Why did you buy cloth?"
It was fine cotton cloth, which should be the most expensive thing he bought today.
"You and the children's clothes have too many patches. Now that you have money, make two new clothes so that you can wear them when the weather gets cold." Fan Jin said uncomfortably.
Shuiqing agrees with the idea of spending money. It is not her character to be stingy and reluctant to spend. I didn't expect Fan Jin to be willing to spend.
She nodded and asked, "What color are you wearing? I'll ask Aunt Li to make it tomorrow."
Fan Jin replied casually, "I don't need it. My clothes have no patches and can still be worn. I don't need to make new ones."
He doesn't need to copy books or decorate the storefront for the time being.
Shuiqing:... I thought he was willing to spend, but it turns out that he is only willing to spend on them!
"Sell the Polygonum multiflorum tomorrow and buy more cloth. There is no shortage of money!"
Fan Jin laughed and nodded helplessly.
"Let's sell less tomorrow. It will probably be five taels of silver."
They don't have to worry about food and drink now, so they still focus on safety.
"You decide." Shui Qing completely gave up the power. When she looked up and saw the thatched roofs on all sides, she hurriedly asked about the thing she cared about most: "How much money does it cost to build a courtyard?"
"A courtyard?"
Shui Qing calculated one by one: "Yes, you see our five children, Yan Qiuxing will have a room when he grows up, Jiang Hehu and the other two can have a room when they are young, and they still need three rooms when they grow up. Including you and me, there will be at least six rooms for the family alone;
And if Dad, Mom, and Wenhua come at the same time, they can squeeze in with Jiang Hehu and the three children, but it is inconvenient after all. It is better to earn more money and build a courtyard, and each of them has their own room."
This place is not like modern times, where there are hotels and inns to pay for accommodation, nor is it as convenient as modern times, where you can come and go at any time;
For example, if Hu's mother comes, she will stay for at least a few days to see her daughter and children. If her brother accompanies her, it is impossible for her to go back alone.
In addition, the place is large and everything is her own, so of course it is best to build a few more rooms in one go.
Fan Jin recalled and said, "I don't know much about the courtyard house, but I know that it costs more than 20 taels of silver to build three bright brick houses, plus 30 taels of silver to buy beds, cabinets, chairs, tables, etc.
We build three main houses and live in them. We build two small side rooms on both sides, so that the light is close to us and Yan Qiuxing lives there;
We build five back houses in front, three of which are for Jiang Hehu to live in, so that they can't disturb us even if they make noise; and the other two are just right for guest rooms;
The east side is the kitchen and dining area, and the west side is built with two side rooms, which can be used for living or storing items;
Including the courtyard wall, corridor, and rough bricks for the pavement... at least 100 taels, right?"
When Shui Qing read novels, the protagonists in the novels casually took out a silver note worth thousands or tens of thousands of taels, but why is 100 taels an astronomical figure when it comes to her?
Damn, it's unfair!
"He Shou Wu can probably be sold until November. If the weather gets colder, it probably won't be sold. It will take two months at most, and it will be sold about once every five days, with an average of six taels of silver each time. The income for two months is 72 taels of silver." Fan Jin continued to calculate.
Shui Qing:... She thinks she's done it again!
No, 72 taels of silver is still too little, she has to find a way to cash out more.
After all, no one will complain about having too much money, and having extra money in hand will make you feel at ease.
"Think about it again, do you have other medicinal materials here?"
Fan Jin tried to think: "If we have it here, it can be sold at a high price, and it's not expensive in the mall, there is really nothing more suitable than He Shou Wu;
Maybe, we can sell it in other prefectures?"
Shui Qing knew that she could sell it in other prefectures' drugstores, and it would be less noticeable if it was dispersed, but there was one thing that was most important!
"Is it safe on the road to other prefectures?"
