Chapter 81 White Fold
As for the Xin family, they were also engaged in grain business in their early years, and they had a feud with the Shan family, so their relationship was very bad.
But later on, they switched to the seed business, and by chance, their children became in-laws. They gradually resumed contact and became a force that could not be ignored in Jizhou.
Today, these two old men are both from the side branches of the family, and they are running this small business in Ji County.
They both sighed at the same time, looked at each other, and then thought of something and laughed.
"Let's go to my house for dinner today." Xin Chang stood up, very enthusiastic.
"Wait a little longer." Shan Youxin shook his head. "I just signed an order. Maybe some food will be delivered to your door."
Xin Chang frowned. "Who else has food now besides the Feng family? Maybe they're just trying to trick you, and you're so foolish as to believe them."
As soon as he said this, Dan Youxin didn't want to listen anymore.
He slammed his palm on the table: "What's so good about this? Besides, if he dares to deceive me, Old Dan, he must not want to stay in Jizhou anymore!"
Xin Chang laughed heartily and was about to say something when a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Excuse me, is Manager Shan here?"
kindness?
Looking for an old order?
They both looked at the same time.
A woman wearing a veil and a snow-blue cloud-patterned gauze skirt with scattered flowers slowly walked in.
Zhu Mingqing looked at the two old men in front of him and couldn't tell who he was looking for.
She asked, "I'm here to deliver some food. Who is the shopkeeper, Shan?"
Xin Chang looked at Lao Xin in surprise and touched his arm carefully: "Hey, there really is food?"
Shan Youxin also reacted immediately, his eyes filled with suspicion: "Where is the food?"
…
Zhu Mingqing brought them to the warehouse they had just rented, and they were both stunned.
They may not be familiar with other places, but this warehouse belongs to the Shan family.
It's been empty for several days.
Xin Chang thought, Old Dan never mentioned renting out the warehouse.
This little girl is really interesting. She actually said there is food in here.
Shan Youxin also said: "You are not kidding me, right? This warehouse is my own. I don't know if there is any food in it."
Zhu Mingqing smiled faintly: "I rented it from Yiyahang today. Did Manager Shan forget that this warehouse has been rented out?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Youxin blushed.
He remembered that he had indeed rented out this empty warehouse not long ago.
Zhu Mingqing stepped forward to unlock the door and pushed forward with both hands.
As the gate moved to both sides, the two old men present were also stunned.
Especially Shan Youxin, he asked for fifteen tons of food by himself.
This is almost the total amount of grain stored by the Shan family now.
He asked excitedly, "Are you really going to sell all this food to me?"
Zhu Mingqing: "Of course, if there is no problem, can Shopkeeper Shan settle the bill now?"
Shan Youxin was stunned: "So urgent?"
"Then, Manager Dan, do you want it or not?" Zhu Mingqing smiled calmly.
"Of course I do. Wait a minute, I'll be back soon."
As he said that, he ran back to the rice shop like a gust of wind.
When he came back again, he saw Lao Xin and the girl having a great time chatting.
As soon as he saw his figure, Xin Chang quickly pulled him over: "You're finally back. Come on, pay quickly."
Shan Youxin frowned in confusion: "What's wrong with you?"
Besides, shouldn't you be on my side? Why are you urging me to pay now?
Xin Chang waved his hand: "Hey, stop talking nonsense and give me the money!"
Under his urging, Shan Youxin paid the money without even having time to count the food.
After seeing the two of them finish the handover, Xin Chang immediately showed a smile: "Let's go, young lady, my seed shop is right next to Lao Dan."
"...Wait." Shan Youxin reacted. Okay, he was wondering why Lao Xin was so anxious. It turned out that he had business to do.
He looked at Zhu Mingqing: "Do you still want to buy seeds?"
Zhu Mingqing really wanted to go over and see if there were any new varieties. "Yes, I've already negotiated the deal with Shopkeeper Xin."
Dan Youxin raised his eyebrows and looked at Lao Xin, you are really good, you made a deal in the blink of an eye!
Xin Chang chuckled, feeling really embarrassed that Lao Dan's money was in his hands again.
Zhu Mingqing didn't expect to meet a big merchant who specializes in seed business.
Or the entire family has been deeply involved in this industry for decades, and the resources they have must be unimaginable.
If we can gather the necessary food crops and the favorability of a thousand people, the Immortal Palace can immediately undergo a second repair.
Xin Chang's shop doesn't look big, but it has everything.
It contains almost all kinds of seeds, such as grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, and even some tea seeds.
"Girl, what kind of seeds do you want? I, Old Xin, am an expert. If I don't have them here, there's no way they'll be available anywhere else."
Zhu Mingqing looked around slowly and bought some of almost everything, but nothing stood out.
She turned around and asked, "Are there any rare seeds?"
Old Xin was shocked. This girl has such a big appetite.
"Isn't this enough?"
Zhu Mingqing shook his head: "It's not that there are not enough, but if there are rare seeds, I would also like to buy them."
Scarce?
Lao Xin scratched his sparse hair and began to think about the seeds he had at home.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up: "Girl, I have a white sedge plant behind me. It should be quite rare. Do you need it?"
Zhu Mingqing was unfamiliar with Bai Diezi's name.
But when she saw the plant, about thirty or forty centimeters long, growing in the flowerpot, her face lit up with joy.
It's cotton!
Xin Chang introduced with a smile:
"Girl, this white floribunda is a rare beauty. It is in bloom now. The red, white, yellow and green are all in one, delicate and soft, with a unique flavor.
When the flowers bloom, it will be another beautiful sight of soft, snow-white flowers."
It was obvious that Xin Chang was extremely fond of Bai Diezi, and he kept boasting, "I bought this from the Western Regions at a high price, but I only sell it to the right person. If you like it, I will sell it to you."
Zhu Mingqing listened with great interest at first, but then he felt something was wrong.
She asked doubtfully, "You said this cotton...white fold is for viewing?"
Xin Chang nodded. "Yes, I only have this one pot in Ji County. Some people buy the seeds and plant them themselves, but they have never been successful."
Zhu Mingqing was surprised.
Nowadays, cotton only has the function of ornamental.
You know, cotton is the leader of the modern cotton textile industry and has great economic and medicinal value.
"Girl, do you want it or not?" Xin Chang couldn't help asking.
Zhu Mingqing came back to her senses and said, of course she wanted it.
Cotton is an indispensable commodity in the cold north!
"How much is this white fold?"
Xin Chang hesitated. He saw that the woman looked sincere and couldn't let go of the white die.
Besides, I just got some money from Lao Dan, so I'm not short of money.
So, he tried to test it out: "One hundred taels of silver."
After saying this number, Xin Chang's heart began to beat fast.
In fact, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to sell it before, but he hadn’t sold it yet.
This one hundred taels may sound like a lot, but he originally brought back a hundred of them from the Western Regions, and now there is only this one left.
As for the price, considering the round-trip costs, it will naturally not be very low.
"How about ninety-five taels?"
Seeing that she remained silent, Xin Chang reluctantly lowered the price by another five taels of silver.
Zhu Mingqing smiled slightly: "One hundred taels will be enough."
Xin Chang's expression lit up: "Really?"
"Of course." Zhu Mingqing nodded slowly, and another thought occurred to him: "I just heard from Shopkeeper Xin that you had been to the Western Regions for business. Are you still in touch with me now?"
