Chapter 214 A Big River
"How much money did you buy it for?" asked the shopkeeper.
"The store sells it for one or two or four dollars. I bought a lot, so it's cheaper. It's one or two dollars." Yan Laoer said.
The shopkeeper nodded, the price is quite reasonable.
"If you sell it at the same price as mine, I will charge a few yuan." The shopkeeper said after consideration.
He could see that this person came into the store as nothing but to sell incense sticks.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that he came in with a burden on his back.
In the end, he really bought too much in Yongning. He was afraid that his wife would not like it when he returned home, and he still wanted to take advantage of the tolerance to pick up goods from Yongning City and come to Longxing to make a difference. He didn't care much.
Also seeing that this fragrant soap is a bit novel, maybe it can sell for a few more coins, so I want to buy it.
Even the reasons for selling high prices are ready-made.
Didn’t this servant from Huju City say that this fragrant soap is very popular in Fucheng...
Yan Laoer was overjoyed: "Thank you shopkeeper, it can solve my embarrassment."
He sold it for ten yuan, and happily left the shop with twelve taels in his pocket.
I still don't forget to look back and remember the name of this shop. If I have the opportunity to come to Longxing again in the future, he will come again.
With these twelve taels of silver, Yan Lao Er went to the same pharmacy he had asked about before.
He didn't put down the deposit this time, and just waited for the medicine to be packaged in the store. He didn't even eat lunch, and stared at the pharmacy until he took all the medicine away.
After meeting up with Qi Si at the inn, Yan Laoer asked the waiter to fill him with water, and gave him money to help him run the runway to buy big meat-stuffed buns.
The two tossed down the medicine again, tied it tightly, and covered it with the dried tung oil cloth.
"Qi Si, look at the car, I'll come back as soon as I go." Second Yan confessed.
Qi Si nodded, then stood beside the bullock cart, staring at him with a good look.
Yan's second son went to inquire about the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, I see there is a boat under the bridge outside the city. I don't know where it leads to?"
The shopkeeper muttered to the outside: "If you load the goods like you, you can't walk on the bridge, so you have to take a boat.
I think you have to go twice, and the goods, carts and cattle have to be separated. "
Yan's second child also has this concern.
When I came here, the car was empty, and the bridge was still creaking, but now it is full of goods, so it is safer to take a boat.
"Aren't there bigger ships?" he asked.
The shopkeeper said: "Yes, the official ship is big, and it travels between Longxing and Fengming. You can even go aboard with your car and goods. By the way, where are you going?"
"I'm going to the tiger..."
"The river in the outer city, from Fengming, crosses Longxing, goes downstream until Gufeng and Changping, but the big boats can't get through, only the two cities of Longcheng and Fenghuang, if the small boat... this year the river is shallow, I'm afraid I will also go no.
Although the speed of going down the river is very fast, I am afraid that there will be no boats to go. You should go back the same way after crossing the river. "
Yan Er Er thanked the shopkeeper, and when the shopkeeper came back with a big bag of meat buns, he tipped some copper coins.
Really increased my knowledge.
He wasn't sure before, but now after listening to the innkeeper, he finally figured out where the river next to their village came from.
Flow out from Fengming, pass through Longxing, Gufeng, and finally reach Changping and enter the sea.
Going down the river, if you sail the boat, the speed should be extremely fast.
The reason why these cities are not closely connected is probably because it is easy to go downstream, but difficult to travel upstream.
The boat can only go back and forth every year when the water flow is not urgent.
The river beside their village is shallow and narrow, and it is impossible for a big boat to sail through it.
Quan pointed to the small boat, tired and unable to hold much stuff.
Without enough interest, no one would go to such lengths to get out of the water.
It is far better to take the official road in the territory, and the road is smooth.
Yan Laoer and Qi Si hurried out of the city.
At the gate of the city, the man who was bleeding profusely stuffed a coin of silver into someone.
The officers and soldiers guarding the city really took it lightly, and did not open and close inspections as before.
Yongning City only received ten copper coins when entering the city. When he arrived in Longxing, he thought about being generous and gave him twenty copper coins.
The gap between this city and the city is too big!
…
"Boater, I'll rent two of your boats. Wouldn't it be better for us to cross the river together and get to the other side at the same time? If you're the only one on the boat, you'll have to go back and forth one more time." Yan Laoer tried to convince the stubborn old man in charge of the boat.
But the old man didn't buy it at all.
"We have our own rules for sailing. You can only rent a boat from one family. What's the point of making an extra trip? This is how we all cross the river."
Yan Laoer had all the good words, but his persuasion was fruitless, and his face was also blackened.
Drive the car and turn around and leave.
The old man was still yelling from behind: "Young man, it's getting late, if you don't cross the river, the old man will go home and rest."
Yan's second son doesn't follow that routine.
This is a misunderstanding.
I don’t know how many people were fooled by them.
If it is not easy to walk across the bridge, cross the river by boat, and take a car of goods twice.
The boatman insisted on pulling a boat twice because he wanted to earn more money.
But in fact, if he can't cross the river at once, why would he take the waterway?
It is not the same to go directly on the bridge twice.
Two times won't work, I'll go three times, four times.
There is a smart cow, that's how willful it is.
Yan Lao Er and Qi Si are unloading under the bridge.
"Qi Si, you wait here, I will let the three treasures come back empty, and you can put this pile on it."
Yan Lao Er divided the goods into three piles.
Prepare to walk three times.
Qi Si scratched his head and asked, "Second brother Yan, can you let the cow go by itself?"
Yan Lao Er laughed and said, "Why not? I'm afraid you haven't heard of it. Old cows, old horses, old mules, and old donkeys all know it. My family's three treasures are well-raised and can understand words. Besides, this bridge is a straight road. It doesn't go sideways."
Qi Si listened to him and said yes, then it will do.
Yan Lao Er drove the ox cart across the bridge, unloaded the goods, and turned the ox cart around...
The old man sailing below and the boatman of another boat were dumbfounded.
"This... this bullock cart..."
The old man said angrily: "He was lucky this time, and the cow was pulled over smoothly by him. If he is unlucky, he may even overturn the car and the cargo."
Until the bullock cart was no longer in sight, he continued to babble: "Why are you in such a hurry, reincarnation in a hurry..."
Yan's second son, who has gone far, is also summing up his experience.
Next time we can’t just come out with two people, it’s too few, we need three people.
If you still have to pull so many things like this time, it is best to have two cars.
But in that case, the throwing fee along the way will also increase.
Not to mention other things, just the expenses at the post station along the way, and the official errands who answered the inspection correctly spent a lot of money.
After doing the math, it's no wonder that Longxing's fragrant soap is so expensive.
All are added to the shipping cost.
"Qi Si, we have to hurry back as soon as possible. We will stop if we can stop on the road. The two of us, just this bag of big meat buns, save some food and see if we can get home."
Qi Si was so lucky that Fu Ling's heart came to him once: "Second brother Yan, have you lost all your money? I brought it, and my mother brought me five taels of silver."
