Through the fairy valley

Because Cao Yang had a nightmare last night, he woke up late in the morning.

After getting up, Qian Ke made breakfast and walked out of the bamboo building to check. He was pleasantly surprised to find that all the fruits in the orchard outside were covered with fruits, and the fields in the distance did not respond because they had not been sown.

Take out the jade token and check it immediately, and find that the things in these areas will automatically mature within eight hours at most.

That is to say, it can be done overnight without any ripening agent.

Knowing this, Qian Ke planted all the fields with rice. After all, food is a valuable crop, and it is not troublesome to take care of it. The harvest is so big, because there is no measuring container, I don’t know the income. I only know that one mu of fruit forest plus ten mu of grain, fruit and vegetables takes up half of the space of the storage ring.

After finishing all these, I went to collect all the fruits.

Cao Yang got up, rubbed his eyes a few times, found that he was still here, sighed helplessly, after washing up and ate the things on the table, he found that the money had been transferred far away nearby.

"Qian Ke." Cao Yang called him from the corridor of the bamboo building.

Qian Ke heard the sound and waved to him, pulled the car down, and drove back at low altitude.

"How's it going, are you resting?" Qian Ke got out of the car and looked at Cao Yang and asked.

"Ah."

"Have you eaten earlier?"

"After eating, I washed the dishes." Cao Yang said with a smile.

"I'll do the dishes next time, your hands don't fit."

Cao Yang shook his head and said, "Since we've all come here, why bother with these things? I don't know if I'll touch the piano again in this life!"

Qian Ke didn't know how to comfort him after hearing this, but he didn't know if there were any pianos for sale in the store, so he could check it out next time.

"Where are we going today?" Cao Yang looked at Qian Ke in a daze and asked curiously.

"Let's go to Jiuhe County to have a look!" No matter what, Qian Keji decided to develop this place first, after all, this place is the foundation of his life.

After returning to the room, I changed into the ancient clothes. After all, it was the first time I wore them. The two of them helped each other for a long time. Finally, they tied the belt and found that their hairstyles were not suitable. "What to do? The clothes are ancient and the hair is so short.

"Look at the store?" Cao Yang took out the jade token tied around his neck and opened the store. Sure enough, there were ancient hats for sale. He bought two black hats and wore them, which seemed a bit strange, but Cao Yang looked so white because of his appearance. The clothes look like an ancient young master.

The two of them boarded the car and set off in Jiuhe County. They set off at [-]:[-] in the morning. When they arrived in Jiuhe, the small county town slowly appeared below.

"It seems that there is no one there?" Cao Yang sat in the car and looked at the county town below. There were few people on the road, and the gate of the city was also sparse.

"Let's find a place to go down secretly." Qian Ke found a location nearby where no one was around, and the speeding car could detect the surrounding situation. The two got out of the car, turned the speeding car invisible and flew back into the air.

Walk on the avenue and follow the official road back to the county.

The era here is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty in China. The hairstyle of ordinary people is also a bun on the head, the poor wear cloth scarves, and the rich wear hats.

They can understand the accent of the people in Jiuhe County. They have the accent of Mandarin. The most rare thing is that the word Jiuhe on the gate of the city is actually in traditional Chinese.

"It's good now, I'm not illiterate at all." Qian Ke sighed.

However, the clothes of the common people in Jiuhe are obviously very poor. Most of the people who enter and leave the city gate are farmers wearing patches, carrying firewood and pushing carts.

There are no charging or guarding soldiers at the gate of the city.

The two of them followed the people into the county town. The streets in the county town were rarely paved with granite strips. Although they were not flat, they were still easy to walk.

There is only one main street in the city. Walk along the main street. Apart from hotels, grocery stores, mountain goods stores, cloth stores, furniture stores, and a few other stores that I don’t know what they are, I can’t see anything different from what I imagined. of.

Seeing a shop named Rongsheng Grain and Oil, Qian Ke took Cao Yang in to have a look.

Seeing that they were well dressed, the shopkeeper of the grain and rice store immediately came out to greet them: "What do you two young masters want?"

Both Qian Ke and Cao Yang are from the south, and they know most of the food in the store.

"Why are the rice here divided into several types to sell? Is there any difference?" Qian Ke looked at the three different kinds of rice and asked.

"Of course, the young master must be a foreigner by hearing the accent. The top one is high-quality rice, which sells for 35 renminbi a catty, the middle one is yellow Cheng rice, which sells for [-] renminbi, and the bottom one is red rice. The price is ten cents."

"What kind of rice is red rice?" Cao Yang picked it up curiously, and found that there was no difference except for the dark color.

"Red rice is government-owned rice that has been produced for more than five years. The main product of Yaoguo is rice, and the staple food is also rice, so it is normal for rice to be sold in different grades." The boss explained seriously.

"Oh, the boss, how would you like to see my rice?" Qian Ke pretended to dig out something, took out the grain in the storage ring from his sleeve, and handed it to the boss.

The boss took the millet, put it in his mouth, chewed and nodded: "This is the top-grade polished rice, which is better than the top-grade rice here. It seems to be a product of Borneo in the south. This rice is good, this rice is good!"

Qian Ke nodded and knew that the things in the valley were all good things.

"How much is this per catty if you accept it?" Qian Ke asked.

The boss made a thoughtful expression: "Master, how much of this kind of rice do you have?"

"Ten thousand catties!" Qian Ke thought for a while and replied.

"Then I'll buy it at the price of high-grade rice, what do you think?" the boss asked tentatively.

Qian Ke considered that this was his first business deal, and he and Cao Yang were not familiar with each other, so he needed someone to help start the business.

"Okay, but I still have something I want to ask the shopkeeper about."

The shopkeeper arched his hands: "Mian's surname is Ke."

"Oh, shopkeeper Ke, my surname is Qian, this is my brother's surname Cao." Qian Kexue introduced him with his hands bowed.

"I don't know if Young Master Qian has anything to ask, this old man will know everything." Shopkeeper Ke said politely.

Qian Ke pretended to be embarrassed and said: "To be honest, this is the first time for me to go out to do business. My brother and I are from Borneo. There are thousands of fertile land in our family. If we brothers want to venture out, we want to go out and do business." I sell all the polished rice at home to the inland, and I don’t know which city in Yaoguo is most suitable for such a business?” He thought of the place across the sea on the map, similar to the island countries in Southeast Asia, where Borneo was written, and shopkeeper Ke also mentioned it. Borneo, just follow the trend and introduce yourself like this.

Shopkeeper Ke nodded with an expression of oh: "No wonder, although our Jiuhe County is not a big city, it is better than one of the wharves for water transportation. It's just that the border has been tight in recent years, and trade has not been good. Our country and Zhao Kingdom are not what they used to be. To be honest, the price of milled rice will be much higher if it is transported to Zhaoguo."

"No wonder, our brothers can't go to Zhaoguo via Jiuhe." Qian Ke said with a pity on purpose.

"That's right, since the new emperor of Zhao Kingdom ascended the throne, his uncle King Ming has been going south, and King Ming has been training his soldiers and horses extensively. It seems that he intends to go south!" Boss Ke said with a sad face.

"Then there is no other way!" Qian Ke said to Cao Yang with a regretful expression on his face, which made people feel really sad that he would not be able to go to Zhaoguo.

Cao Yang laughed in his heart at Qian Ke, but he said with a serious face, "Since we can't go there, and we can't ship the rice back, we'll sell it at Ke shopkeeper, so we can make plans!"

Shopkeeper Ke nodded upon hearing the words: "Then thank you two young masters!"

Qian Ke said hello, and agreed to deliver the food directly, and asked shopkeeper Ke to prepare the money.

"Come over later?" Shopkeeper Ke asked.

"Yes, within an hour." Qian Ke nodded.

"Okay, I'm going to move the workers and the money right away." Shopkeeper Ke smiled happily.

The two exchanged ten taels of gold for 110 taels of silver in the city, and found that the exchange rate of gold and silver fluctuated.

Then I went to the coolie market to find ten mules and horse-drawn carts, paid a deposit, and asked them to go outside the city later.

They bought another 200 sacks in the city and spent a tael of silver. The two quickly got into the car where no one was around and flew to the intersection two miles away.

Using sacks, I quickly poured one hundred and one catty of rice from the ring into the bag, filled a hundred bags, and then bought a hand-sewing sealing machine from the store to seal the opening.

It's exhausting to do these things.

When the mule and horse convoy came, they saw so much grain on the side of the road, and everyone immediately moved the goods, and it took less than an hour to drag them to shopkeeper Ke.

"This is 350 taels, please keep it." Shopkeeper Ke finished counting the goods and handed the money to them.

After paying the shipping fee of twelve taels, the two made a net profit of 340 taels.
