"Wow, the Hu people are so handsome, even their hair and eyes are colored."
"Yes, how did it grow like that? It's incredible."
"The girl with the sickle used to say that the things she sells are goods she gets from foreign merchants. I was wondering what foreign merchants look like and why I've never seen one before. Today I've finally seen one in person."
"It's really impressive that Lian'er can get to know them and make money off them."
The Shen family members were also in the crowd, and they started to have their own ideas.
Just as the horse caravan was about to leave, Boss Shen came up to Shi Nanfu.
"Brother, our Shen family also wants to buy goods from you."
The Shen family felt that if Qiao Lian'er could make this profit, why couldn't they?
However, Shi Nanfu coldly refused.
"I'm sorry, we only do business with Miss Qiao. Even if a high-ranking official comes, it won't make a difference."
He wasn't exaggerating. The reason Young Master Pei sent him here was to prevent Qiao Lian'er from being targeted by those in power.
"Why? What's so special about this girl?" Old Master Shen couldn't understand it.
"I'm sorry, I can't tell you."
Shi Nanfu nodded to Qiao Lian'er and rode away.
He was on a mission: to send a team to deliver rice to the north and gradually open up the northern market, since there was a drought there and the war required food.
Along the way, we also need to promote these rice grains so that we can sell seeds next year.
"Qiao Lian'er, did you save this barbarian's life? You've made him indispensable to you." Shen Xiu looked at Qiao Lian'er with a face full of jealousy, envy, and hatred.
Why should only Qiao Lian'er earn all that silver?
"Well, that's a secret that can't be revealed." Qiao Lian'er stroked her chin.
Shen Xiu pursed her lips: "They're only paying attention to you for now. Who knows, they might go and work with someone else someday."
“At least I have a moment, but you can forget about it for the rest of your life,” Qiao Lian’er retorted on the spot.
Shen Xiu's face turned pale and then flushed.
With the foreign businessman's appearance, things were finally settled, and the Qiao family felt much more at ease.
Because people always ask them where they get their goods and why they have never met the foreign businessmen they mentioned.
They didn't know how long this lie could last.
Unexpectedly, on such an ordinary day, foreign businessmen appeared, each with unmistakable physical characteristics.
"Lian'er, how capable is this foreign businessman? If he's really being targeted, can he handle it?" Old Mrs. Qiao asked.
“With a noble family from the capital backing us, we have nothing to fear,” Qiao Lian’er said.
She is not yet clear about the Pei family's exact strength, but she is certain that they are a powerful family. Otherwise, they would not dare to let Shi Nanfu handle this matter, because it requires keeping local officials in check and also having a certain deterrent effect on various forces in the capital.
Once she got to know Shi Nanfu better, she would subtly inquire about him.
Seeing Qiao Lian'er's determined expression, Old Madam Qiao patted her chest, her old face filled with satisfaction. She had a premonition that Qiao Lian'er could go all out and make a big splash, and the Qiao family was about to become very wealthy.
The next day, Qiao Lian'er took several hundred kilograms of fertilizer to Fengle Village.
