Chapter 173: no return at night
After shopping around, she passed the livestock stall when she was about to go back. After thinking about it, she went in and bought another ten pigs, chickens, ducks, and geese.
After she was satisfied with the purchase, she came out of the stall, looked at the remaining gold, and couldn't help feeling that the prices in this era are still very touching. She felt that she had almost bought a street, and there was still a lot of gold left.
She asked everyone to deliver the goods to a dead-end alley, the goods were delivered, and as soon as the delivery person left, she quickly put everything into the space.
After all this ordeal, it had already been more than an hour when she returned to the restaurant.
Fortunately, when she left, she told the waiter in the restaurant that if Zhang Liang came back, he would ask Zhang Liang to wait for her to arrive soon, so when she returned, Zhang Liang was waiting in the wing room.
Zhang Liang looked at Su Ying, who was empty-handed, with some doubts, "Where did Miss Su go?"
"I went to buy some things, it's getting late, let's go to see the goods first."
"good."
The two got into Zhang Liang's carriage, but when they approached the pass, Su Ying hid under the carriage just in case.
However, when they exited the customs, the inspection was not as strict as when they entered the customs, and they went out smoothly.
Huwei had been waiting outside the pass for Su Ying to appear. Just as he was anxiously waiting, he saw a carriage slowly approaching their direction.
Huwei suddenly became vigilant.
The carriage stopped in front of their team, and Huwei saw Su Ying jumping out from under the carriage.
"Miss Su is back."
"Well, I got someone to come over and look at the charcoal."
Zhang Liang also got out of the car.
"Master Zhang, how do you like my charcoal?"
Zhang Liang went to the car to check the quality of the charcoal. Originally, he was not too optimistic about the charcoal. He just wanted to help Su Ying. After all, she was the savior of his family. But after looking at it, he found the quality of the charcoal It was much better than he had imagined. Although it wasn't high-quality charcoal, it was good enough to sell to ordinary people.
Zhang Liang looked carefully, and he found that some of these goods were of average quality, and some were better, as if they were slowly fired and the experience got better and better.
"How does Master Zhang feel?"
Zhang Liang said with a smile: "That's right, although the quality of the charcoal is not uniform, but there are no defective products. I wonder what price Miss Su wants to sell?"
"You make a price, we will sell it if we think it's right."
Zhang Liang took a bundle of charcoal down, roughly estimated the weight, and said: "How about this, I will give Miss Su four taels of silver for this cart, and see if Miss Su accepts it?"
Four taels of silver was more than she thought, and Su Ying felt that Zhang Liang had sold her some of it as a favor, but since he wanted to repay her and was short of money, he was happy to agree, "Okay."
Huwei did not expect that this cart of charcoal would change from half a tael of silver to four taels of silver in just a few hours, which is nearly seven or eight times as much!
"However, I don't have much cash on me, so you may have to wait, Mrs. Su."
"No hurry, we're not in a hurry to go back. I'll go to the customs with you again in a while. We still have a lot of things to buy." What she secretly hoarded was hidden, and she had to go back again if she didn't buy anything on the surface. trip.
"Alright, after Mrs. Su gets the money, I will take you to buy whatever you want."
Su Ying nodded and said to Hu Wei and the others: "Find a place to stay tonight, and I will come out before dark tomorrow."
Huwei saw that everything was fine when he entered the customs just now, and he was not as worried as before, "Miss Su, don't worry about us, you take the list of supplies and money, we will wait for you here."
"good."
After the agreement was made, Huwei and the others pulled all the charcoal to the pass. The state of Chu clearly stipulated that there is no need to pay taxes for border trade. After they arrived at the pass, Zhang Liang asked his friends to pull the charcoal one by one. went in.
Fortunately, he brought a lot of people here, otherwise it would be difficult to pull so much charcoal.
Zhang Liang took Su Ying to a small courtyard he rented here.
There are not many houses in the yard, but the yard is very large and filled with charcoal, and with Su Ying's ten carts, there are even more.
It was getting late at this time, Zhang Liang arranged for Su Ying to live in a room on the second floor, and let a little maid serve her.
"Seeing that it's getting dark, Mrs. Su will stay here temporarily tonight. If you need to buy something, I'll take you there tomorrow."
Su Ying nodded, "OK."
Zhang Liang took a bag of silver and handed it to Su Ying, "This is forty taels of silver, Mrs. Su took it."
Su Ying thanked her and put away the money.
"I wonder if Master Zhang has a way to buy food here?"
Zhang Liangdao: "Of course there are. We bought some goods from here before. Although there are not many, the supply is still there."
"I want 300 bags of rice, 700 bags of coarse grains, cornmeal, and 200 bags of cassava flour. Master Zhang, can I buy them?"
More than a thousand bags of grain, this is not a small amount.
"Miss Su wants so much?"
Su Ying said: "You also know that we have a lot of people. If it is a cold winter and it snows heavily this year, it will not be so easy for us to come out."
Zhang Liang nodded suddenly, "That's the reason. It's right to stock up on more food. We have the goods. As long as Miss Su's car can fit, I'll fill it up for you."
"good."
It was getting dark, Zhang Liang couldn't stay in Su Ying's house for a long time, so he took his leave and left.
Zhang Liang was afraid that the food he cooked would not be tasty enough, so he asked someone to buy a table of food from the restaurant and bring it back to Su Ying.
Su Ying was not polite, and just ate the whole table to a golden light.
The little maid was stunned when she entered the room to clean up the table. She couldn't believe that Su Ying, looking at the skinny little girl, could eat so much!
After running around for a day, Su Ying was also tired. After eating, drinking and washing up, Su Ying fell asleep.
The next morning, Su Ying woke up early.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and began to adjust her breath, and waited for the true energy to travel around her body to make her whole body warm up, before she slowly exhaled a breath of foul air and opened her eyes.
Su Ying opened the door and stood in the corridor, and saw Zhang Liang's people carrying bags of food onto her carriage. The ten carriages were almost full, but the size of the carriage was limited, and ten carts could not hold it. No less than a thousand bags of grain.
The little maid saw that Su Ying woke up, so she brought water to wash Su Ying.
Su Ying arrived at the backyard after it was clear and clean.
Zhang Liang turned his head and saw Su Ying approaching and greeted with a smile: "Miss Su woke up, did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good, how many bags of food can these ten cars hold?"
"As far as the condition of the car is concerned, it can pull twenty or thirty bags at most, and only two or three hundred bags per round."
Two or three hundred bags are too few.
