Chapter 376 Goods Delivered to the Imperial Capital
Those who were reluctant to spend money went to buy a mackerel together.
Su Tai had to get busy with business again.
At this time, the caravan entered the village.
As soon as Su Chuan and his group entered Shen Yi's yard, they were attracted by the big fish.
"Wow! Wow! My brother-in-law is getting more and more capable! He can even catch such a big fish."
The villagers laughed and agreed, "There are still many!"
Everyone's mind was full of questions.
"It's good enough to have a fish this big. Don't be too greedy." Su Zhan said casually.
The villager who was refuted was not happy and pointed to the house next to him, "Let's go in and take a look."
The curiosity of the group of people who didn't know the truth was really aroused.
When they came out of the house, they looked at each other and doubted their lives.
Su Tai looked at their silly looks and laughed, "Stop messing around, these are seafoods that Qiongzi got, and they will be sent to the imperial capital next time."
Su Chuan reacted quickly, his eyes sparkling, "Good sister, can we take all these goods away?"
Su Tai nodded heavily. "There are tens of thousands of kilograms in total, and some of the beef and mutton are frozen. This time, even a hundred carriages can't carry all your goods. My suggestion is to find a cooperation with the escort agency, form a super caravan, and sell along the way. What do you think?"
"What a good idea! My sister is really courageous! I will listen to you!"
Su Zhan's heart was burning with excitement. He had just returned and before he even sat down on the chair, he couldn't wait to set off.
Su Tai found his anxious look funny and said, "Cousin, go home first to see your uncle, aunt, sister-in-law and children. There is no rush. I will arrange for someone to load the car for you. You can set off after you have rested well."
Everyone finally calmed down, settled the bill with Su Tai and divided the money, then went home.
As soon as Shen Dagou arrived home, Huang Xinghua was already in the kitchen cooking a big meal for him.
Wei Erya considerately changed his shoes for him and prepared clean clothes for him. "I just learned that your family has boiled two pots of hot water when you entered the village. The weather has suddenly become cold. You should take a hot bath quickly. I will go in and rub your back later."
Shen Dagou really enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by his wife, and bared his teeth, "We just divided the silver, and I got more than a thousand taels this time. Our family assets are close to ten thousand taels."
If the money he gave to Chen Tian was included, his family fortune would have already exceeded ten thousand taels.
Wei Erya quickly locked the large bag of silver and banknotes into the cabinet and said happily, "I'll hide it later. These are all the belongings you saved for our children!"
Fortunately, the yard they live in now is a newly built brick house with high walls and a deep courtyard, and the exit is connected to the old house. On weekdays, when the couple and their children are not at home, they don’t have to worry about being visited by others.
Seeing her happy, Shen Dagou felt that all the hard work was worth it.
After he had a nice hot bath, the couple went to the old house.
Huang Xinghua placed the steaming food on the table.
"Come and try it quickly. We're cooking seafood today. This is called large yellow croaker. There are also pomfret, redwood fish, and garlic shrimp. Xiaotai taught me how to make them. There's also a pot of old hen soup in the kitchen. I just put it down to stew. It's perfect for eating before bed!"
Listening to his family's caring words, Shen Dagou's mouth never drooped.
"Mom, you don't have to prepare so much. I can't finish it." As he said that, he picked up a piece of yellow croaker meat with chopsticks and was amazed after just two bites.
"Great! This thing is really good, and it doesn't have any bones. It's more delicious than the fish I ate before! No wonder Brother Shen went to so much trouble to get it back!"
Hearing his surprised tone, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but ask, "Big Dog, do you think these seafood can really be sold at a good price?"
"Yes!" Shen Dagou was very sure. "Grandma, you don't know the situation in the imperial capital. There are nobles everywhere there. The rarer and more novel things are, the more they are willing to spend money. Seafood is already rare. It's almost the end of the year. I'm afraid the goods will be sold out as soon as they arrive."
Mrs. Chen couldn't stop smiling, "That's good, that's good! I heard from your father that the seafood Shen Yi brought back has piled up into a mountain, and he's afraid that he won't be able to sell it, and he'll lose a lot of money!"
Shen Dagou didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandma, you're just worrying about nothing. Go back and buy some and send some to my second sister."
Speaking of Chen Tian, Mrs. Chen immediately asked anxiously, "Is Tian Tian doing well in the Sixth Prince's Mansion? Has she been bullied? Has she gained weight or lost weight?"
Everyone looked at Shen Dagou eagerly.
Shen Dagou put down his chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "Second sister is the prince's concubine. The Sixth Prince has no principal wife. She has the final say in the affairs of the backyard. The Sixth Prince has a leg disease and poses no threat to other princes. He is just an independent person who often brings Tiantian to the palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother.
Although Tiantian is a concubine, she is more favored than other princes' wives.
The Queen Mother and the Empress knew that she had no powerful family to support her, and they often rewarded her with money and jewelry.
I was worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to royal life, but when I went there, I found that the couple was getting along very well and I thought I was just worrying for nothing.
But our family really can’t support the second sister, so I just want to give her some of the good things, so that people in the mansion will respect her more when they know about it.”
"Yes, yes, yes! You are right." Mrs. Chen turned around and touched the wall to go back to the house. "I saved some money for you. You can take Tiantian's share and give it to her as well."
Chen Mu was furious when he heard this. "Oh my god! Stop messing around! I know what's going on. No matter whose money I use, it won't be used on you. Just save it for yourself."
Shen Ergou also followed and advised: “Grandma, you spent the money first, we will make it up to you later, it’s unnecessary.”
Mrs. Chen grumbled, "It's useless for me to keep the money. I will give it to you in the future."
"Let's talk about it later." Huang Xinghua pretended to be angry and Mrs. Chen no longer insisted.
The next day, Shen Dagou slept until noon.
As soon as I woke up, I ran to Shen Yi's house, specifically for the seafood.
Su Tai knew that he was going to prepare something for Chen Tian, so she said, "I'll have someone prepare a few large boxes. The things will be divided into two parts, one for the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and one for the Sixth Prince's Mansion. You don't have to talk to me about money. The things will be considered as a joint delivery for both families."
"That won't do!" Shen Dagou would never do such a thing to take advantage of others.
Su Tai said, "On the surface, Tiantian is the adopted daughter of Yong'an Marquis, and she is also a brother and sister to Chen Yi. As her sister-in-law, I am giving her a New Year gift and charging you money. If this gets out, how can I face people?
I say you should just be kind and take some time off these few days and stop worrying about it."
Shen Dagou was dismissed by Su Tai with just a few words.
Su Tai turned around and looked for Shen Yi, "I didn't expect that Ma Xingteng's goods sold so quickly. It seems that everyone has been doing really well these years. I think I have to fish for another three days and see if I can get some better goods this time to give away specially."
