I do research in ancient times

Spring is here, and the bachelors in the backyard are still young, but the old men in the front yard are already full of lust.

Aunt Mei's "returning home" was very beautiful. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was surrounded by people, asking about the stock situation this time.

There is no other reason, the donkey team is too short.If you come all the way from the West Sea, how much cargo can you transport with this amount of horses?

"Is there any soap box left? How many have come this time?"

"I'll be waiting in the city after the next year, can you limit the amount everyone buys!? Otherwise, I'll buy all the previous ones, and I don't know when I'll have to wait!"

"That's right! Who's not selling? Let's share the broth! You can't just focus on the front ones!"

Some people say that, some people don't like to hear it.

Wang Desheng bought the position with money, so he became anxious immediately after hearing this.

"What is it called? Who told you that you can't afford to wait in line? If you don't have money, get out early, don't fart here!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Aunt Mei immediately smoothed things over with a smile.

She first thanked everyone for their kindness, and then immediately began to pour out bitter water. The road is long, the world is chaotic, the weather is bad, and raw materials are rare. Anyway, one center, that is, the transportation is not easy and the price has increased.

Everyone was about to scold their mothers, but they saw Mrs. Hu Renda's eyes lit up, walked quickly into the line, and said something to Hu Shang who was standing second.

The Hu businessman nodded repeatedly, smiling so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, as if he had picked up a huge bargain.

This wave of blatant black-box operations was so provocative that people couldn't help themselves, and it was unbearable, but because the lady of the barbarian was still present, I didn't dare to ask to offend people.

When Mrs. Mei entered the store and was about to open, all the merchants rushed up, surrounded the Hu businessman, and asked him if he had some dirty business with Mrs. Hu.

"No...no...really not!"

Hu Shang had a grievance on his face.

"It's just that there was a foot light powder sold in this store before. Someone in our caravan bought it by chance. After soaking their feet, they are not smelly or itchy, and they are very comfortable. I will ask Mei Niang to sell us some more."

Oh, full of light.

Everyone was stunned.

This thing is not new, many people have used it.

Businessmen are often on the road, sharing meals and sleeping in the open. Almost everyone has foot problems.If you use this foot light to soak your feet, you can eliminate the odor and itching on your feet, and you can feel comfortable for a while.

The Ningcun workshop had sold the footlights several times, but they were all snatched up by the merchants' cavalry. Although they were considered to be in short supply, they were as exaggerated as a soap box, and they were mostly used by merchants with foot problems.

No fun, no fun.

When the crowd dispersed, Hu Shang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he had passed the test this time.

Wang Desheng kept watching with cold eyes. Seeing that there was no one beside Hu Shang, he called the servants to come and line up, while he walked up to Hu Shang and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, take a step to speak."

That merchant Hu didn't know why, but he walked out of the crowd with him and found a remote corner.

"Brother, what do you want to tell me?"

Hearing his question, Wang Desheng chuckled.

Although Zuguangsan is good, it is not worth talking about by Mrs. Mei alone.

I'm used to intrigue in the aristocratic family, and this humble businessman's little tricks can't be hidden from the eyes of his boss Wang!

"I want to discuss a business with my brother."

He paused, "You bought the black goods from the shopkeeper, right? How about sharing a part with me? I'll pay the price?"

"Brother, do you also want Zuguangsan?"

The Hu businessman showed a surprised expression, his eyes kept wandering around Wang Desheng.

Manager Wang was annoyed by his look, and he waved at him with his hand.

"Don't bullshit, you laughed so lewdly just now, there is absolutely no way it was for the medicine powder for soaking your feet!"

"I'm not blocking your way of making money, as long as you share my share of the pie, otherwise you won't benefit from this incident!"

Hearing what he said, Hu Shang's face changed drastically, and then he smiled dryly and shook his head to pretend to be stupid.

"No, brother, I misunderstood, I just want to buy some medicine powder."

"Stop fucking farting for me!"

Wang Desheng folded his arms and chest.

"You fools, I'm afraid you don't know the origin of Lao Tzu?"

"You, Mr. Wang, you are the chief steward of the imperial concubine's mother's house. If you offend Mr. Wang, you will never be able to live in the Central Plains again!"

It's bragging to say that the imperial concubine's mother's family is, the three ladies are still waiting for election, so it's hard to say what the future will be like!

But scaring these barbarians is enough. Anyway, these people can't figure out the sphere of influence of the three families, and bragging is enough to scare a group of people away!

Sure enough, upon hearing what he said, Hu Shang had a frightened expression on his face.

He thought and thought, the expression on his face was extremely reluctant, and he had to look up from time to time to observe Guanshi Wang's expression, and finally gritted his teeth.

"I... I didn't get much..."

Wang Desheng was overjoyed, knowing that he had been hooked, he immediately asked.

"What did you agree with the shopkeeper?"

Hu Shang hesitated for a moment, "...it's Xihai fine cloth."

West Sea fine cloth?

When he heard that it was cloth, Wang Desheng was a little disappointed.

It's not uncommon for cloth to be born in Channing.

But he still held a glimmer of hope and asked: "What's so special about this cloth? You want to trade with that shopkeeper secretly like this?"

"This Xihai cloth is not only soft, but also has extremely fine and dense stitches. It is much warmer than silk and linen, and it is very comfortable to wear!"

"Mei Ji was wearing a dress made of Xihai cloth before, it is cold and cold resistant, just what we want!"

Hearing what he said, Wang Desheng was even less interested.

The dignitaries don't need to think about whether they are warm or not. When it's cold, someone around them will give Mrs. Tang a cloak. Only common people and businessmen need this thing.

Not interesting.

Seeing that he was not interested, Hu Shang rubbed his hands.

"My lord, do you still want this West Sea fine cloth?"

Wang Desheng stared at him for a while.

"That's what you told the shopkeeper? You didn't lie to Mr. Wang, did you?"

"No, no, it's the fine cloth from the West Sea."

Hu Shangzheng was terrified.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Wang Desheng waved his hand impatiently.

"Go away! Waste of master's time, master, I am still rushing to line up, stay where you are cool!"

With that said, he hurried back to the door of the workshop.

Aunt Mei said that the store has to be tallied, and the doors will officially open in the afternoon. People at the door can go out to have a meal first, and then come back and wait at Shenshi.

Even so, no one left.

I have been waiting for several months, and finally got blocked to open the door. If this was delayed by a bite of food, there is no way to explain to the host when I go back.

Waited and waited, and finally it was time to apply.

This time, there were two jobs guarding the door, and only five people could be allowed into the store at a time, and Manager Wang happened to be in the second batch.

He secretly hated the Ding'an man who sold the seat.The second batch is one round behind the first batch. If the person in front sweeps the goods, then he...

Nervous and trembling, it was finally his turn to enter the store.As soon as the door was opened, Wang Desheng quickly entered the store with a dexterity that did not match his own width, and rushed directly to the counter.

"Flower soap box, I've rounded up as many as there are, and put them all in!"

As soon as the words came out, the people behind immediately scolded others, saying that Baoyuan was not authentic, and they didn't even leave leftovers for others.

But Wang Desheng didn't care.

This is related to the future of the imperial concubine and empress, and entering the palace must not lose face, otherwise the whole Peng family will be looked down upon.

"My lord, I want it all. How much silver do you want?"

Aunt Mei at the counter smiled brightly.

"Gone."

"What?"

Wang Desheng picked out his ears.

"What did you say is gone?"

"The soap box is gone."

Aunt Mei gave Wang Desheng a wink.

"A gentleman bought the last eighty boxes just now, and now the soap boxes are sold out."

Wang Desheng's face darkened in an instant, and he was so angry that he wanted to grab the job and ask which bastard didn't pay attention to it, and didn't leave leftovers for the people behind him? !

But he knew very well that it was pointless to entangle with the barbarian shopkeeper, so he could only hold down his breath and ask compulsively and calmly.

"Then what else do you have?"

"There is enough light powder, do you want it?"

Wang Desheng is so angry!

Buying enough luminous powder for the future imperial concubine, is it plausible to say it? !

Seeing that he didn't answer, the people behind hurriedly interjected.

"I want the foot powder! I want as much as I have, and I want it to be round!"

"Okay! This is the settlement for the master!"

Seeing this scene, Wang Desheng also became anxious.

He used his fat body and thick elbows to avoid the merchants behind him, blocked himself at the counter, and yelled at Aunt Mei.

"Master, I haven't said anything yet? How can you sell it to the latter?"

"Oh."

Aunt Mei stopped her hand of planning and gave him a slightly dissatisfied look.

"Then the master wants to be full of light?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Desheng stopped talking again.

But he is a clever man, as soon as he turned his mind, he thought of the news he had found out from the Hu businessman, and immediately raised his voice and shouted.

"Then what...Xihai Fine Cloth, I want it, sir!"

As soon as these words came out, the store fell into a moment of silence.

The four people behind were all staring at Aunt Mei's face, their eyes swishing like knives, cutting into the flesh of this strong barbarian woman.

Aunt Mei's complexion was very bad. She looked Wang Desheng up and down a few times, and reasoned that there was no Xihaibu.

Wang Desheng is so angry, the more this barbarian shopkeeper is like this, the more he wants to be more serious with her, so he leaked some news from the Hu merchant before, and hinted mildly that if Aunt Mei refuses to admit it again , he's going to shake it all out.

The merchants behind couldn't understand, but Mrs. Mei understood.

Her face changed a few times, but finally she swallowed her anger and asked with a dark face.

"But this master... Are you sure you'll cover everything?"

"of course."

Wang Desheng raised his chest, took out a wooden box from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"Just settle the accounts, the master wants them all, let's see if these are enough?"

Aunt Mei opened the wooden box and stared straight at it.

It was so full that it was filled with gold bars!

"Enough is enough, enough of these!"

"Then the 230 pieces of cloth belong to this master!"

After saying that, she didn't worry anymore, put the gold bar into her arms, and led Wang Desheng to the backyard.

There were three donkey carts parked in the backyard, all of which were loaded with cotton cloth, all of which were delivered to Wang Desheng.

Wang Desheng felt a little regretful when he saw the cloth, it was really fine and soft, and the width of the cloth was much wider than what he usually saw.It's just that these are plain cloths, no matter how you look at them, they are not suitable for his imperial concubine to wear!

Seeing hesitation on his face, Aunt Mei smiled eagerly, and patted Wang Desheng on the shoulder with her fat hand, with a mysterious expression on her face.

"Master will know the benefits when he goes back. This cloth can be cut with one knife, unlike ordinary cloth that needs to be stitched together. If you can find a capable tailor, you can make seamless clothes!"

"Master, don't worry, the master's family has ordered before that a distinguished guest like you will not only get a 98% discount from our family permanently, but will also give you some small gifts."

As she spoke, she unloaded a large wooden box from another carriage and placed it at Wang Desheng's feet.Aunt Mei's attitude was completely muddled like before, very respectful, which just soothed Wang Desheng's somewhat regretful mood.

"Is this a gift?"

He stared at the box on the ground and asked.

"Exactly."

Aunt Mei patted the ashes off her hands.

"It's full of good things from the West Sea Kingdom."

"The master bought our cloth, and we gave him ten colors of silk thread. When the master cuts clothes, he can ask the embroiderer to sew and embroider. Our cloth is woven with top-quality cotton thread. It is fine, soft and easy to show color. Both gowns and tunics are suitable!"

"There are also maintenance products made of the most precious materials in the box. The master can go back and give them to the little ladies who are close to me, so that they will be happy to heaven!"

"My master also presented a secret medicine of the palace of the Xihai Kingdom, which can relieve headaches and bone pain. This is a treasure that only the king of Xihai can use! My master has channels, but he must not announce it to the outside world."

"There is also a token inside, which is the discount card given by the host. You must keep it, sir."

When Mrs. Mei said something, Wang Desheng's face looked better.After hearing the last two sentences, Manager Wang's situation completely changed, with a happy smile on his chubby face.

Now he doesn't feel that he lost money buying these cloths!Can't it still be tailoring, the clothes are seamless... This rhetoric couldn't be better, it is definitely suitable for their status as a little lady!

Not to mention the toiletries that he wanted to snap up as a starting point, the barbarian lady said they were all the best materials, and they were much more famous than the ordinary products that those fools snatched up!

Not to mention there are secret medicines and discount cards from the palace of the Xihai Kingdom... Those gold bars are so worth it!

Maybe when I go back to the master's house, I have to praise him for his ability and ability to do things!
