poor family prodigal

"keep it!"

Without even looking at the gold and silver, Wang Yuan stood up and waved his hand: "The money and goods have been cleared, farewell!"

Dahu picked up the money box, followed by Zhao Qinghe and Wang Sihai!

"Brother Wang, wait a minute!"

Shopkeeper Zhou chased after him and asked, "How often can you supply this crystal candy?"

"It depends on luck!"

Wang Yuan raised his eyebrows: "The production of crystal sugar is already low. Businessmen from the Western Regions have to cross the wilderness territory to reach the Daye territory. The wilderness territory is extremely dangerous. I don't know how long it will take to visit. It may be three months, or it may be a year. So next time I can’t tell the time for supply.”

"Oh!"

Zhou Changfa narrowed his eyes and said with a compliment: "Looking at Brother Wang's extraordinary bearing, he must be from a big family. I wonder if he is a descendant of the Wang family in Dragon City?"

Longcheng is also a county town, three hundred miles away from here, but there is no big family named Wang.

"I'm from Xiajiushan County!"

Wang Yuan waved his hand impatiently: "If Shopkeeper Zhou regrets it, just take the money back, and Wang will find someone else to trade with, and I will sell you a thousand guan."

Jiushan County is the city where Daye and Huangren meet, and Fu County falls under the jurisdiction of Jiushan County.

When merchants from the Western Regions enter the territory of Daye through the territory of the Huangren, Jiushan County is the first stop.

This is a test.

"Give!"

Dahu pushed the cash box forward.

Brother Yuan explained that once he spoke, no matter how much money he sold, he would give it back.

Shopkeeper Zhou quickly avoided and stood in front of the sugar: "Brother Wang, what are you doing? The money and goods have been cleared. The six hundred dollars is yours, and the twenty pounds of crystal sugar belongs to the Zhou family! Xiao Shunzi, do it for me Send it to the prince."

The man waved his hand in greeting.

Wang Yuan rolled his sleeves coldly and got into the carriage, and the four of them left Zhou's Candy Shop.

Watching the carriage go away, Shopkeeper Zhou's face was full of kindness, and he became shrewd and fierce.

Although Wang Yuan behaves like a young master, there is something wrong with him.

The clothes of the four of them were all newly bought except for the maid.

Although Wang Yuan wore silk, his jade pendants and sachets were very poor, and his carriage looked like a chariot carriage.

A bit unlike a disciple from a wealthy family.

Sugar is not easy to preserve. When it is transported from the Western Regions thousands of miles away, some of it will definitely melt.

These twenty pounds of crystal candy have not melted at all.

The most important thing is that Jiushan County is more prosperous than Fu County. Why not sell crystal candies somewhere but go to a small place like Fu County.

This series of doubts blocked the mind of the shrewd Zhou Zhangfa. He gave a few instructions and the man hurried out.

"Gold, sweet!"

In the carriage, Zhao Qinghe picked up the gold and took a bite. His big eyes narrowed into crescent moons: "Six hundred gold a day, six thousand gold in ten days, eighteen thousand gold in a month, one hundred and forty-six thousand gold in a year, and one gold in ten years." [-] million yuan, cousin, you will become a rich man."

Wang Yuan shook his head: "Little money fan, sugar can no longer be sold in Fu County for the time being!"

Zhao Qinghe was shocked: "Why?"

Wang Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Zhou Changfa tested me repeatedly, and he must have other thoughts in his mind."

Zhao Qinghe was stunned: "Why didn't I hear it?"

Wang Yuan looked at the front of the car: "Dahu, see if anyone is following you.

Zhao Qinghe pursed his lips: "Cousin, the money and goods have been cleared, why did Shopkeeper Zhou send someone to follow us!"

She just finished speaking!

Dahu said: "Brother Yuan, you're crazy! Shopkeeper Zhou's guy fell down at the end of the street and followed us!"

"how is this possible!"

Zhao Qinghe looked out the car window and was dumbfounded. The candy store boy lowered his head and followed him from a distance.

Wang Yuan frowned and said solemnly: "This is why I pretend to be a member of a rich family."

Zhao Qinghe frowned: "Cousin, you are selling sugar as a villager!"

Wang Yuan snorted coldly: "They should arrest me and interrogate me on how to make sugar!"

Many people believe that by mastering technology and traveling through ancient times, they can dominate the world.

In fact, no matter how advanced your technology is and how ignorant you are of the world, you will only be controlled by others and treated as a chicken that lays golden eggs, constantly extracting value.

"impossible?"

Zhao Qinghe said suspiciously: "The Zhou family has a good reputation in the county for being charitable!"

Wang Yuan shook his head and said seriously: "Qing He, a truly good person cannot make a fortune. You don't understand how much profit is hidden in turning brown sugar into white sugar! If the Zhou family masters this craft, they will definitely transform from a powerful county town to one of the world's most powerful people. Rich. How could an old fox like Zhou Changfa not have any ideas when faced with such a huge benefit?"

The first time he experienced this kind of thing, Zhao Qinghe's oval face turned pale: "Then, what should I do?"

Dahu and Wang Sihai were also worried.

For the first time, they felt that the world was much more complicated than they thought.

Wang Yuan warned: "Go home and eat the sugar, don't let anyone see it. Don't go out recently, buy groceries and let uncle come out. I will go to Jiushan County later and sell the sugar."

Zhao Qinghe's eyes widened: "This is dangerous enough, you still want to go to the county?"

Wang Yuan chuckled: "The bigger the place, the more money there is. If these twenty kilograms of sugar were sold in the county town, they could be sold for at least one thousand guan."

Zhao Qinghe stuttered: "One, one thousand strings!"

"Dahu, stop the car, go get that guy, and teach him a lesson!"

Wang Yuan said in a deep voice: "Ask him to tell Shopkeeper Zhou that if he does business honestly, there will be opportunities for cooperation. If he has any evil thoughts, there will be no hope of separation."

After a while, the clerk returned to Zhou's Candy Shop, raised his red and swollen wrist and relayed the story.

Zhou Changfa's expression was uncertain.

……

After shopping and returning the carriage, the seven of them met at the city gate half an hour later.

When he saw the big and small bags on the four of them, his uncle became anxious: "Qinghe, why didn't you persuade your cousin to buy so many things and the debt hasn't been repaid yet!"

Zhao Qinghe lowered his head and his oval face turned red with embarrassment.

She really tried to persuade her, but when she arrived at the store, her cousin asked about the price, but there was no bargaining at all. Not only did he help her buy bracelets, earrings, and hairpins, but he also bought two sets of clothes and shoes, including items she had always wanted to buy but was reluctant to part with. The rouge and gouache she bought fulfilled all her dreams.

Of course I also bought it for other people.

Wang Yuan handed over a cloth bag: "Uncle, don't blame Qinghe. As a cousin, you should buy her something. These are the clothes and shoes I bought for you. Go back and try to see if they fit!"

"Ah, I have it too! You kid, are you spending your money frivolously? My uncle has everything."

The uncle took the cloth bag and smiled with his teeth showing: "How much money did you spend? Is there enough left to pay off the debt? It's not enough for my uncle to give you more!"

"That's enough, uncle. It's getting late, let's go back first!"

Wang Yuan waved goodbye and told Zhao Qinghe: "Don't forget to tell your story!"

"Know it!"

Zhao Qinghe trailed off: He had told her eight times along the way that the matter of making sugar must not be leaked, and the remaining sugar should be hidden and eaten as soon as possible.

Five people leave!

The uncle watched the whole journey, and when the carriage disappeared, he asked Zhao Qinghe: "How much did your cousin sell for to buy so many things?"

Zhao Qinghe opened his mouth: "Six..."

"Sixty sticks?"

The uncle said with a straight face: "Then there are only twenty guan left after paying off the debt. Why don't you kid persuade him to stop and let him buy so many things and spend money randomly?"

Zhao Qinghe looked around and whispered: "Dad, it's not sixty, it's six hundred!"

"W-what? Six, six hundred strings, God, how is that possible!"

The uncle stuttered.

Zhao Qinghe said again: "Dad, let me tell you, my cousin can pretend now..."

The uncle frowned as he listened: "Why are these clothes and shoes so heavy!"

When he opened it, he found a gold ingot and two silver ingots stuffed inside the clothes.

Zhao Qinghe was shocked.

The two of them were together the whole time while they were selling sugar and buying. They didn't even notice that Wang Yuan was stuffing gold and silver ingots into the cloth bag.

The uncle was startled and tears filled his eyes: "Sister, Yuan'er has grown up and knows how to care for people. It's a pity that you are no longer here, otherwise you would have been blessed."
