Chapter 355 Seven Mile Village
Chapter 355 Qili Village
In her previous life, when she was fifteen years old, she was still in high school, studying hard for the college entrance examination!
But in ancient times, he started doing business at the age of thirteen.
Times are different!
She had read an interstellar novel before, and the people in it did not reach adulthood until they were one hundred and twenty years old.
Regardless of whether it is modern or ancient times, at the age of one hundred and twenty, let alone alive, the body is turned into loess.
Xuecha lowered her eyes. It wasn't that she was homesick, she just didn't know how to face them. Her parents had sold her to others as a concubine for money. Although they had no choice at the time, she just couldn't live with it. .
The carriage clattered and soon arrived at Fusang City. Escort Chen was already waiting for them at the city gate.
Song Changshang went over to say hello and invited a total of five escorts, including her Xuecha Pianbinbin, a total of nine.
There are nine people in eleven carriages.
How to arrange it!
Pianpian was driving for them, and she and Xuecha were waiting in the carriage.
Binbin is on the carriage at the end.
Their convoy looked like this. Song Changshang's carriage was at the front, followed by the cotton truck, the grain and grass cart for the horses and dogs, and at the end was their carriage for daily necessities.
It's no problem with a strong person like her at the front.
That means someone needs to be in control at the rear.
Chen Yue had what she thought. He directed his men, "Xiao Si, Xiao Liu, you drive the two cars in the middle. Xiao Qi and Xiao Wu follow me to the rear."
"I know, Master."
After Chen Yue finished giving the instructions, he asked Song Shangshang, "Miss Song, where are we going next!"
"Go to Qili Village next door to Dawan Village."
She doesn't need to go to Dawan Village. Every household has cotton, and the people in Dawan Village are very busy right now.
I have no intention of buying anything.
Chen Yue responded and walked to the end of the motorcade, and the motorcade started to set off towards Qili Village.
Why is Song Changshang going to Qili Village first? First, it’s close!
Among the many surrounding villages, Qili Village is the closest to Fuso City.
The second is still closer!
Qili Village is close to other villages!
As long as you go to Qili Village and follow the main road, you can visit almost all the villages around Fuso City.
About half an hour later, the convoy arrived at Qili Village.
In November, people have finished harvesting their autumn harvest, and the weather is cold, so people stay indoors and cannot come out.
However, it would be difficult for eleven carriages to enter the village at the same time without being noticed.
Soon a villager came over. At this time, Xue Cha also poked his head out of the carriage and asked, "I would like to ask, how to get to the village chief's house?"
Her lady said that it is impossible to sell goods outside, it will freeze to death!
So find a house to stay.
The home of the head of each village couldn't be more suitable.
"Wang Wang Wang"
Ten Tibetan Mastiffs started barking when they saw a stranger!
The fellow was too frightened to come over. He stopped ten meters away from the carriage and shouted, "Why are you looking for the village chief's house?"
The fellow thought to himself that he had never heard that the village chief had any relatives in the city. Although he was a farmer digging soil, he had eyesight. He looked at the eleven cars in front of him. Let’s not talk about the cars, let’s just talk about the eleven cars. Most people can't afford a horse.
Not to mention the leading horse, he looked at it like it was a tribute horse to the emperor as mentioned in the play!
Great!
Song Changshang heard what the fellow said in the carriage, and she signaled Xue Cha to tell the truth.
"Fellow, we are here to sell goods." "Selling goods?" The fellow was immediately confused. What goods are we selling?
They even come to villages like theirs to sell them!
"Yes, selling goods, cotton, have you heard of cotton?" Qili Village is quite close to Dawan Village. There should be many relatives in the two villages!
You should have heard about it at least!
It was just that they were disappointed. This fellow did not know anyone in Dawan Village.
Pianpian didn't know what cotton was when she saw the fellow's puzzled expression. It was also very cold outside. He motioned for Xue Cha to get into the carriage, "Miss, let me explain to the fellow!"
"It's all right."
Pianpian asked the fellow villager to sit on the carriage, took out a small piece of cotton from his pocket, and said, "Uncle, this is cotton!"
The fellow took the cotton and twisted it in his hands. He thought to himself that this stuff was not similar to kapok or catkins, but it was thicker than those two.
"Can this thing be stuffed into clothes?" the fellow asked.
Pianpian responded, "Not only can it be stuffed into clothes, but it can also be stuffed into a quilt to make a big quilt. It will be warm when sleeping with it covered at night."
“This is what we sell!”
The fellow thought that kapok was so expensive, so this cotton probably wouldn't be much cheaper, so he nodded with interest.
But the next second, his interest rose again. This was the first time he made a carriage, and it was a luxurious carriage, even though he was sitting outside the carriage.
He asked Pianpian with interest, "Isn't this horse cheap?"
Pianpian smiled, thinking that this uncle was not interested in his cotton but in his horses, so he hummed.
The fellow asked again, "A few dozen taels of silver?"
The scholar Lin’s family in their village bought a carriage, and I heard it cost more than twenty taels of silver!
But that horse didn't look as good as the one in front of him. He felt that the horse in front of him was several blocks ahead of Lin Xiucai's horse.
"A few dozen taels? My lady spent a thousand taels of silver to buy this horse!"
In fact, Pianpian felt that his lady bought this horse, Feitian, for more than a thousand taels. His lady must have been afraid that the master would be angry, so she underpaid!
"One thousand taels?" The fellow gasped when he heard the price!
day!
A horse is actually worth a thousand taels. What kind of horse is it? Can the emperor ride a horse?
Sure enough, doing business is very profitable!
"How much does this cotton cost for you guys?" He knew that kapok was extremely expensive, and you couldn't even buy a few kilograms for one tael.
After being shocked by the horses, the fellow thought that if he could afford to buy a thousand taels of horses, then the salesman must be rich!
Just ask about the price of cotton!
"Sixty cents a pound."
Pianpian replied, and he added, "One pound of cotton can make a cotton-padded jacket, and four pounds of cotton can make a thick quilt."
"One tael of silver can buy sixteen pounds of cotton!"
"Sixty cents? Sixty cents? So cheap?"
The fellow was shocked. He thought that the price of cotton was similar to that of kapok, but it was only several hundred yuan per catty. Unexpectedly, it was only sixty yuan per catty!
Too cheap!
"Yes, sixty coins, uncle, do you want to buy it?" Pianpian asked with a smile.
The fellow villagers think it is cheap and are not crazy about it, so they just buy it. In winter, warm-keeping items such as silk, fur, and kapok are very cheap. Compared with these, cotton is very cheap.
But he only looked at a small amount just now. He wanted to see the goods before deciding whether to buy it or not.
He always felt a little bit so cheap.
Pianpian also saw the uncle's hesitation and said, "Let's go to the village chief's house later to look at the goods."
"Uncle, do you think why this cotton is so cheap?"
"There should be someone in your village who knows Dawan Village, right?"
"This cotton seed was bought by my lady from a foreign businessman last year."
