Lin was sitting in the main room, doing needlework and watching over her two children. Just as she heard her eldest daughter's voice, she saw her walking in with a bunch of things in her arms.

Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter holding a pile of things and hurriedly stood up to help. "Why did you bring all these things back?"

Li Yan placed the books on the table, then handed two bundles to her mother. "Mom, these are the rabbit fur scarves my aunts made for my younger siblings, along with some side dishes! Please put them away first. We have guests outside. I'll be right back!"

Mrs. Lin looked at her daughter who was leaving in a hurry and sighed helplessly. Before they could say a few words, she left in a hurry again!

When Li Yan walked out of the door, Yang Ming had already opened all the bags of the goods and was waiting for Li Yan to come over to inspect them.

Seeing Li Yan coming forward, Yang Ming said solemnly: "Miss, all the goods are here. You can check them on the spot. If there is no problem, we will weigh them!"

Seeing that they were so frank, Li Yan's favorable impression of this small caravan inevitably increased a little.

This is how business is done. If you can be honest and not pass off inferior products as good ones, this business will last for a long time!

Li Yan stepped forward, looked into the sack, and took out some peppers for inspection. The peppers were well preserved and showed no signs of blackening or mold.

Li Yan nodded in satisfaction and said to Yang Ming with a smile, "The goods are fine, let's weigh them now!"

Seeing this, Mr. Li didn't ask his granddaughter what she bought. He directly brought a scale from home and weighed all the goods in the sack.

"A total of four hundred and ninety kilograms!" Grandpa Li weighed all the goods and reported to his granddaughter.

"Uncle Yang, do you have any questions about the number?" Li Yan asked.

Yang Ming shook his head. It was quite normal to have some loss along the way.

"Then I will pay you fifteen taels of silver as agreed upon earlier. Uncle Yang, do you have any questions?"

After a moment of surprise, Yang Ming immediately said, "Miss, I want to buy a cart of fermented bean curd from you. You can pay me for the rest!"

He had originally thought that since the weight was a little off, he might be asked to pay more. He was mentally prepared for a price haggling. After all, he had agreed with the girl at the market for 500 kilograms! Now that he could get the agreed price, it was a pleasant surprise!

"Then I'll prepare one or two taels of silver worth of fermented bean curd for you. If you prepare more, it might not be safe on the road!" Li Yan suggested.

Yang Ming agreed readily.

Not only did he sell the goods that had been rejected many times, he even earned four taels of silver and a cart of goods. Once they transported the fermented bean curd out of the northwest, they could find a restaurant or a food stall to sell it and make a fortune!

On the way to Rongcheng, he saw it in a restaurant. That small dish of fermented bean curd was sold for twenty cents!

It’s a pity that they are in the fur business, and this is the only empty carriage left in the caravan, otherwise he would have brought more with him!

Mr. Li, who was standing aside at this time, was shocked after hearing the conversation between the two. Those things he weighed just now were neither grain nor meat, but they were sold for fifteen taels of silver?

He couldn't help but wonder in his heart if his little granddaughter had been deceived by someone?

Just as he was lost in thought, Li Yan called out, "Grandpa, please help me move five large jars of fermented bean curd to their car!"

Mr. Li suppressed the doubts in his mind, stopped daydreaming, and hurried to the yard to move the fermented bean curd.

Li Yan went back to her room and took out the silver and the scales for weighing the silver.

Speaking of this scale, it is also a precious item, usually only available in jewelry stores or shops. Li Yan also has such an item at home because her family is doing business.

Two silver ingots of five taels each, plus two smaller silver ingots of two taels each. Li Yan checked the amount of silver in front of Yang Ming, and after confirming that it was correct, the two parties settled the deal!

Yang Ming accepted the money with a smile, and thought in his heart that their decision to come to Rongcheng was the right one. If they had only reached Yuncheng and not continued to move north, it would be hard to say what would happen to his cart of dried peppers, let alone making money!

Now that they have sold all the goods they brought and purchased more goods, they will be able to set off after returning to the inn to rest for a while.

Soon the goods were loaded onto the cart. Li Yan took a small jar of fermented bean curd from the yard, placed it on the shaft of the cart, and said with a smile, "Thank you for bothering Uncle Yang to come all the way here. We don't have anything good at home. Save this small jar of fermented bean curd for you to eat on the road!"

Li Yan knows best the hustle and bustle of traveling. Sometimes, in order to get to the next lodging place as quickly as possible, she often does not cook and can only eat some dry food to fill her stomach.

The dry food is bland and tastes like nothing!

If you can wrap a piece of fermented bean curd in the dry food at this time, the combination of salty and fragrant fermented bean curd will not only make the bland dry food taste much better, but also replenish the salt needed by the human body for those who have worked hard on the journey. It really kills two birds with one stone!

Yang Ming's face was filled with joy, and he kept thanking him!

On the way back, Yang Ming's men sighed, "This Rongcheng is really good. Not only is there a wide variety of goods, but the manager doesn't put on airs or bully us outsiders. Instead, he is very kind. Boss, after we send this batch of goods back, let's come to Rongcheng again next time."

Yang Ming nodded in agreement. Since there was only one empty truck left in the fleet and he was short of manpower, he only dared to purchase this truck. If this truck of fermented bean curd brought in a good profit, he would definitely free up a few more trucks next time!

After seeing off the guests, Mr. Li looked at the dried peppers curiously. He picked up one and put it to his nose and sniffed it. A spicy and pungent smell went straight to the top of his head.

He couldn't help but cough twice, holding the dried pepper in his hand away in disgust, frowning and asking, "Girl, what did you spend so much money on? Why does it smell so pungent to me? Did someone cheat you?"

How could Mr. Li know at this time that the thing he disliked so much at the moment would gradually make him fall in love with this spicy thing after tasting it.

Especially in winter, when it’s snowing heavily outside, the whole family sits together and drinks a bowl of spicy soup. How refreshing it is!
