Quick Travel: Jing Yuan's Wanderings

The next day, just after daybreak, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan drove a mule cart and followed the purchasing team to Changde Town, which is famous for cultivating Ganoderma lucidum.

He smacked his lips and finally understood something.

It turns out that he has become the core member of the caravan, the driver of the team responsible for purchasing precious medicinal materials!

Hi hi...a good sign, you’re on the road to making a lot of money.

How about we repeat yesterday's routine?

Although it's vulgar, it really works!

Hehe...if you don’t have money to buy Ganoderma lucidum, it’s more than enough to buy a few packets of fungus strains.

Interstellar soldiers with strong execution ability will naturally do what they think!

Just now, while taking a break for lunch, I caught the old farmer who came to sell a big bag of Ganoderma lucidum in the morning.

He generously took out 5 taels of silver and bought two small packets of mushroom seeds.

Even though it was over, he still didn't give up. He leaned close to the old farmer's ear mysteriously and whispered a few words.

"Well, sir, it's like this.

My eldest daughter is getting married in the twelfth lunar month.

I want to find some fox skins and make them into fox fur coats to give to my daughter as a treasure chest.

If you know who has it, please let me know and I will give you 10 taels of silver as a reward."

As he said this, he took out a ten-liang silver ingot from his pocket and stuffed it into the other person's hand.

The old man was so excited that he took the silver ingot with trembling hands, opened his mouth with two missing front teeth, and took a bite.

"Sure, sure. Last December, the village organized a winter hunt and caught a lot of good things.

We have a few fox skins at home, but they are silver-black, would you like them?"

As he spoke, he carefully observed Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's expression.

If he looks embarrassed, he will lead people to the house of the bearded man next door.

When marrying off a daughter, the fur must be a red fox, or at worst a white fox will do.

This wave of miscalculation.

Who would have thought that this grown man from the capital city would not buy things for himself but only think about his daughter.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan, who had become much smarter, pretended to hesitate for two seconds, fearing that if he pretended to be reserved for too long, the result would be counterproductive and he would miss out on this business deal.

"Okay, let me take it and have a look first. If the quality is okay and the price is right, I'll take it."

"Okay, my lord, please wait. I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he ran away very nimbly.

Before I finished my bowl of water, I saw the old man coming back carrying a wooden box.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan quickly put down his bowl and stood up to help.

The old man unlocked the door with trembling hands.

The one who was slow made Lieutenant General Jing Yuan scratch his hair, wishing he could take the key and open it himself.

Snap! The box opened.

The shiny silver-black fox skin is clearly visible.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan's eyes lit up and he immediately fell in love with her.

He couldn't let go of it and touched it again and again, but in his heart he was wondering how much silver he should ask for.

When the old man saw there was a chance, he was immediately overjoyed!

Backed by the Ten Thousand Mountains and deep in the lush forest, there lives a large group of foxes.

Therefore, he did not dare to ask for an exorbitant price. He only asked 20 taels of silver more than the price paid in the town, feeling guilty.

“There are 15 silver-black fox skins in total, which I have been collecting for many years.

No color at all.

It can be made into a cloak, which is warm and elegant. It is especially suitable for adults to wear. "

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan tilted his mouth and said mockingly in his heart: [Don't worry, I can't afford it.]

"Ahem... 15 skins, 70 taels each. If you want them all at once, I'll give you a discount, 1000 taels of silver."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan raised his eyebrows and glared, fuck!

I must have bought it too expensive yesterday.

The old man habitually picked his fingers, stared at Lieutenant General Jing Yuan, and waited for a bargain.

Expectations in my heart keep falling.

The minimum price is 55 taels of silver per ticket.

Uh, it definitely can’t be less than 52 taels!

Or, 51 taels?

Seeing the old man's cloudy eyes staring at him with hope, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan swallowed hard.

I always wanted to bargain, but I couldn't open my mouth.

Oh, if I had known earlier, I should have sneaked into the store and asked around about the prices of various leathers!

Too bad.

I felt like crying but I couldn't. I just nodded resignedly.

Forget it, it’s okay if I earn less, as long as I can earn some money.

The old man was so overjoyed that his legs went limp and he seemed about to kowtow.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was startled and quickly reached out to help.

“Thank you so much, sir.

You don’t know, in this poor place, you can only grow one crop a year.

After paying taxes, there was hardly anything left.

As for food rations, they almost all depend on buying them.

It’s hard to support a big family!

When winter comes, I wish I could just eat one meal a day and just stay alive.

With this money, I can finally have a full year."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan felt so sad when he heard this that his hands trembled and he wished he could give dozens more taels of silver.

Then he thought that the entire Duke of England's family would be exiled here in May next year, so he had to hold back.

The old man checked the banknote over and over again, and after confirming that it was correct, he placed it close to his chest.

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan carefully closed the lid of the wooden box and moved the entire thing into a large bamboo basket. After everything was packed up, he realized he had forgotten something.

He picked his big toe awkwardly.

"Ahem... Sir, how much do you charge for this wooden box and lock? I want it."

The old man waved his hand and said generously: "This wooden box was made by my eldest son. It's not worth much. If you like it, just take it."

"Thank you very much. I have to say, the wood of this box is pretty good. It smells really good!"

"This is spruce wood. It smells light and fragrant."

"By the way, sir, I'd like to find some snow fox or red fox skins. Do you know if anyone has any?"

"Come on, follow me. Da Zhuang from the village has inherited hunting skills from his ancestors. His family must have it. Snow fox and red fox fur are more than twice as expensive as black fox fur..."

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan was secretly delighted.

70 times twice is 140 taels. Yesterday he bought two snow fox skins for 300 taels of silver. So by this calculation, it wasn't much more expensive!

I bought five snow fox skins for 600 taels of silver, what a huge profit!

Lieutenant General Jing Yuan happily returned to the team and continued walking northward, arriving at Changlu Town in the northernmost part of the city, which was famous for its reindeer.

The last hundred taels of silver he had on him were exchanged for 100 rabbit skins.

I also used the change to buy a few bags of dried mushrooms.

As for deer antlers and velvet antlers, I dare not buy them.

This is the tacit understanding of the caravan. The team's main task is to purchase medicinal materials. As a member of the team, you have to avoid buying things privately.

Of course, there are always privileged people everywhere!

At this point, the team finished purchasing medicinal materials and rushed back to Sucheng.

Time was running out, so we set out on the journey back to Beijing early the next morning.

As a result, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan didn't even have the time to go to his own house to take a look.

The autumn weather is clear and the sky is cloudless.

God was very kind and the weather was sunny all the way. After walking for more than a month, we arrived in the capital at the end of October, before the beginning of frost.

Looking at the majestic city wall in front of him, Lieutenant General Jing Yuan instantly became fully alert.

The turning point of Qian's family's destiny is about to come.

May the world’s fleet bless you!

With him in this world, I hope I can resolve the problem cleverly and get through it safely.
