Chapter 117 Huge Profits [Please vote]
She stood up, put the milk bottle on the small bench, walked up to him, and asked straight to the point, "What happened?"
"Madam." Lu Chengjing grabbed Shang Wan's hand and frowned, "Someone wants to get involved."
Shang Wan taught him the word "Pengci".
"Pengci?" Shang Wan raised his eyebrows in interest, "Who?"
Lu Chengjing explained in detail the strange behavior of the girl in pink clothes, and emphatically clarified, "I reacted quickly and didn't even let her touch a corner of my clothes."
There was a hint of grievance hidden in his confident expression.
Shang Wan: "..."
This fox liked to pretend in front of her more and more.
"It's okay if you encounter her. Let's make new clothes." Shang Wan pinched his ears in a funny way, "Everyone has a love for beauty."
But falling in love with the beauty she raised is another matter.
On the second day, Shang Wan specially asked Lu Chengjing to go around the village alone to fish for law enforcement.
Lu Chengjing was reluctant, so Shang Wan lowered his head and kissed him on the face and forehead, making him blush, and then he went away obediently.
However, Liu Yuzhi did not show up.
On the third day, Liu Yuzhi still did not show up during the same fishing expedition.
On the fourth day, Shang Wan went into the city to sell medicinal materials and saw the Lin family's donkey cart.
The driver was Lin Jianshan, and Liu Yuzhi was sitting on the donkey cart.
Neither of them saw Shang Wan.
Shang Wan heard that Lin Jianshan was taking Liu Yuzhi to buy new clothes, and Liu Yuzhi was very happy.
The donkey cart passed the corner and disappeared. Shang Wan also took his mind back and stopped at the door of a medicine shop carrying medicinal materials.
She specifically observed the plaque, but there was no Lu family emblem on it.
What Shang Wan brought was all the medicinal materials that the drug store always stocked. The quantities of each medicinal material were similar. After checking, the price given by the drug store manager was quite reasonable.
Shang Wan didn't go to the second house and left directly at this one.
For less than half a cart of medicinal materials, I got three taels of silver, which was a huge profit.
"Shopkeeper, do you accept fresh herbs here?"
"It's collected." The shopkeeper of the medicine shop said as he asked the clerk to put the medicinal materials into the warehouse, "Fresh herbs still need to be processed, so the price is naturally not as good as the prepared medicinal materials."
Shang Wan nodded and took the opportunity to learn more about the market situation of herbs and medicinal materials with the shopkeeper.
I originally thought that if the difference was not big, I could sell the herbal medicines directly, but I never thought that the difference would be huge.
However, after some time of preparation, the price of the medicinal materials turned out to be more than two to five times more expensive than the herbal medicines.
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "If you still have any medicinal materials in the future, come and sell them. My prices here may not be the highest, but they are definitely fair."
Shang Wan asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, I see your store is not big. Why do you collect so many medicinal materials?"
"This is nothing new," the shopkeeper said. "A war is about to begin at the border, and the imperial court has ordered the collection of medicinal materials. We are not too far away, so these medicinal materials have naturally become a hot commodity."
He handed Shang Wan a list, "These are all urgently needed medicinal materials. If you have them at home, you can sell them at a good price."
Shang Wan glanced at it and saw that it was very good. He only recognized two words.
It seems that it is impossible not to learn to read as soon as possible.
She thanked the shopkeeper and drove the bullock cart around the city to buy some things that were missing at home.
Passing by a small restaurant, Shang Wan saw the Lin family's donkey cart.
She turned her head and looked inside. Through the window, she saw that Liu Yuzhi had put on new clothes, still pink.
It seems that this girl particularly prefers pink.
Shang Wan sighed, and after listening for a while without hearing any useful news, he drove the ox cart and left.
He spent ten coppers to learn about the recent developments of the Lu family from Bao Wenqing.
Lu Chengyuan was seriously injured and was recuperating at home before going to Beijing. Mrs. Lu goes to Qingchi Temple every now and then.
Because of the matter of raising grain, the Lu family offended the squires a lot, and many businesses in the city were affected. Mr. Lu was extremely busy every day.
Several rounds of apology had been given, but those squires were so angry that they had no intention of stopping.
In the end, I don't know what Lu Chengyuan thought of, and sent letters to the houses of the squires, and those squires stopped the next day.
Shang Wan asked curiously: "What letter?"
Bao asked around and whispered mysteriously: "It is said to be related to the big shots in Beijing. As for what is specifically written in the letter, I don't know."
Big shot?
Could it be the uncle who is an official in the Ministry of Personnel?
Shang Wan made a guess and waved Bao Qin to leave.
Before Bao inquired and left, he did not forget to advertise, saying that he had the most complete information, and asked Shang Wan to come back to him next time.
Driving the bullock cart home, Shang Wan just arrived at the entrance of the village and saw Mr. Liu supporting a familiar old woman and looking around at the entrance of the village.
Seeing Shang Wan coming, the two of them blocked the entrance to the village and refused to let them go, as if they didn't see the bullock cart.
Shang Wan glanced at the two of them, raised his hand and patted the ox on the back, "Let's go."
The scalper kicked his hoof and dragged the car towards the two of them.
The two of them never expected that the business party would let the bull bump into them, so they hurriedly dodge in panic.
Wei was so angry that she yelled, "Young whore! You want to kill the old woman!"
"Aren't you still panting?" Shang Wan glanced at her sideways, and his evil eyes fell on her, "For the sake of your old age and frailty, I just let it go. If you scold me again in the future, think carefully." Let’s see if your life is strong enough.”
In fact, under normal circumstances, she is quite happy to respect the elderly and care for the young.
"You - ugh!" Ms. Wei had never experienced how powerful Shang Wan was and wanted to scold her again. Ms. Liu hurriedly covered her mouth. Although she hated Shang Wan in her heart, it was undeniable that Shang Wan could really suppress her. They fight.
Shang Wan glanced at Ms. Liu for a second, then suddenly asked, "Auntie, is this a relative of yours?"
Shang Wan suddenly spoke to her, and Mrs. Liu actually felt a little flattered.
Before she could react, she nodded, "It's my mother, and her niece is here too, her maiden name is Yuzhi."
"Oh, my niece's name is quite nice." Shang Wan sighed and asked, "Auntie is waiting for someone at the entrance of the village?"
Mrs. Liu couldn't figure out why Shang Wan asked these questions, and said vaguely: "Yes, yes, I'm waiting for someone."
"Auntie, please wait slowly. I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."
Shang Wan left these words and drove the bullock cart away.
Looking at the oxcart going further and further away, Mr. Liu frowned. Could it be that this man named Shang has changed his gender?
"Why are you covering my mouth? I should have told me to scold her to death!" Mrs. Wei scolded her daughter dissatisfied, "She is going to hit us with a bullock cart, how can you talk to her so nicely? "
Mrs. Liu listened to her mother's lesson and didn't even understand why.
She smiled apologetically and said, "Mom, calm down, I'll help you sit over there."
"Where should we sit?" Mrs. Wei felt that nothing was going as she wished and vented her anger on Mr. Liu.
When Mr. Liu had something to say, he could only listen and obey.
On the other side, Shang Wan met Liang Liang on his way home.
After several invitations from Li Xiaoshan, the child has become familiar with the children in the village and often plays with the whole village.
With Li Xiaoshan, the king of children, watching, he has not been bullied.
"Liangliang, get in the car." Shang Wan stopped the bullock cart and greeted him.
Liangliang smiled shyly, climbed up the wooden shelf, and sat next to Shang Wan.
Shang Wan asked warmly: "What did you play today?"
"A lot." Liangliang counted the games played today on her fingers, her voice filled with joy.
Shang Wan listened patiently.
Liangliang paused for a moment, then turned to look at her, pursed her lips and whispered, "Auntie, I heard Er Fat said something."
