As soon as this thought came to Mr. Hu San's mind, he began to feel restless.
Statue...It's not impossible to come to Shawan County, it's close to Guangcheng.
Lin Jinyue asked about the situation outside at this time: "We are in Shawan County, and we don't know what the situation is outside Lingnan. I always feel that the situation is not quite right."
Mr. Hu was shocked when he saw Lin Jinyue.
Now that she even knew what was going on outside, she was even more surprised.
Even in Yunsong County, apart from big merchants like the Hu family, basically not many people know what is happening outside.
Mr. Hu didn't say anything, but just asked: "How do you know the situation outside is not good?"
Lin Jinyue's heart sank slightly, but she still answered: "I guessed. The price of food changes every day, and there is also conscription... I guess the situation is not too bad."
Mr. Hu sighed: "It is indeed so."
He admired Lin Jinyue even more in his heart. How could such a young girl be so capable?
Mr. Hu Sanye continued: "The price of food is high now, and the Red Turban Army has also started to take action. I don't know when they will attack us."
Lin Jinyue had a guess: "Prince Jing will not attack in the short term. Lingnan is still easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's just that I'm not sure about the Red Turban Army. As long as the leader of the Red Turban Army has brains, I'm afraid he will come to Lingnan."
They certainly don't dare to come to Guangcheng and Shawan counties, but for places like Yunsong County, which is quite far away, it's not certain.
When Lin Jinyue mentioned the Red Turban Army, Mr. Hu was startled.
He was just hesitant before, but it seems that he has to deal with those properties as soon as possible, and at least move to Yunhe Village.
Uncle Hu Sanye did not mention it. He still had to discuss it with a few brothers first.
After all, this was a major event that would affect the foundation of the Hu family, and he couldn't decide on his own.
Lin Jinyue sighed: "It seems that I have to stock up more food. I have to wait before opening a new shop."
She just muttered this, but Mr. Hu San said, "Shop? Do you want to rent a teahouse? I have a teahouse in Shawan County, which is losing money every month. The location is not very good, and not many people are willing to spend money to buy a teahouse nowadays... If you want to rent it, it's ten taels of silver a month, and there's a small courtyard at the back."
Lin Jinyue didn't expect that someone would bring her a pillow when she felt sleepy.
It would be much more convenient if there was a small yard.
It’s not that Lin Jinyue is reluctant to spend money to rent a house, but no one in the village is willing to do so.
Lin Jinyue planned to go and see it with him one day.
The lease of the snail stall is about to expire, and Lin Jinyue doesn't want to renew it. The best she could do is move into the teahouse.
However, early the next morning, Lin Jinyue discovered something was wrong.
Every morning these days, people from different villages come to deliver snails.
They were afraid of missing the deadline, so they delivered it before dawn every day without fail.
But today, Liu and his family stood at the dock and waited for a long time but nothing came. Only Fat Chen's family sent them half a basket of snails and some fresh octopus.
Lin Jinyue frowned and asked Fatty Chen: "Where are the other people in your village?"
Fat Chen hesitated and shook his head. "I'll fish for you. My family bought a small fishing boat. Now I'll let my son go with us to get more crabs."
After hearing what Fat Chen said, Lin Jinyue guessed that something was wrong.
Lin Jinyue asked Liu to bring half a box of snails over to the market. She could sell as many as she wanted. After they were sold out, she could come back and take a break.
Liu realized something was wrong and without asking any questions, she quickly went to Shawan County.
The snails left today will probably be sold out in the morning.
The villagers were extremely anxious. Blacksmith Li came over and asked, "Can we still make snails in the future?"
Lin Jinyue didn't answer.
I have a very bad feeling in my heart.
Although she had many ways to make money and was not afraid of anyone trying to trip her up, she still felt somewhat unhappy.
Mr. Hu San also had a headache, and said to Lin Jinyue: "If you have a big shortage of snails here, otherwise... I will help you collect them in Fucheng?"
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "No need to be so troublesome."
She was thinking of other solutions.
I was even wondering who was behind this.
Could it be that Xie Hong was transferred to Yunsong County and could come to their Shawan County to cause trouble for her?
Lin Jinyue had a headache.
Not long after, Chen Dawei came over.
When they saw him coming, the few people who stayed in the village became alert. Blacksmith Li and the Wang family all picked up their tools, and the women each held a rolling pin, ready to start at any time.
This scene is really scary.
Chen Dawei was startled and took a few steps back, "You, what are you going to do?"
He spat, "You bunch of reckless men, I'm here today to discuss the snail business with you, otherwise do you think I want to come to this unlucky place?"
Lin Jinyue asked, "You want to sell snails to us?"
Chen Dawei nodded: "Yes, that's right, I have a lot of snails here, and the price is this..."
Finally, he quoted a sky-high price: "I won't charge you more, just ten cents a pound."
You know, when Lin Jinyue collected it before, it was only seven cents per pound.
It increased sevenfold in an instant.
During this period, Chen Dawei used coercion and inducement to buy up all the snails in the vicinity at double the price, and no one dared to sell them to Lin Jinyue.
Lin Jinyue was firm: "No."
Chen Dawei sneered: "If you buy it, you can still make money. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to make a living from this snail business in the future."
Chen Dawei didn't believe that Lin Jinyue would give up such a profitable business.
Otherwise, he asked someone to buy the secret recipe a few days ago and offered a high price, so Lin Jinyue was reluctant to sell it.
Not to mention Lin Jinyue, even the people in her shop were unwilling to sell.
Just by looking at their attitude, Chen Dawei knew how profitable the snail business was.
Chen Dawei was still unwilling to leave. "Think about it carefully. If you come again tomorrow, the price will not be the same."
Lin Jinyue was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The villagers were so angry that they started picking up stones on the ground and throwing them at people.
Chen Dawei was hit, and it seemed that this group of people were really ruthless and wanted to take his life.
Chen Dawei fled in panic, shouting at them as he ran: "Raise the price! Raise the price! If you come again, it will be 700,000 per pound! Don't beg me for anything in the future!"
Those who threw stones at Chen Dawei were all deflated.
Several aunts came up to Lin Jinyue and asked, "Er Ya, have we gotten into trouble?"
Lin Jinyue shook her head: "He was beaten!"
"Chen Dawei is such a shameless person. If we buy from him for the first time, he will definitely raise the price later, and the price will get more and more outrageous."
Lin Youcai knew that snails were now a very profitable business.
If it were cut off, their village would definitely suffer a lot of losses.
Lin Youcai sighed: "Then our future snail business will be..."
The women in the village all had gloomy faces. Although the money did not go directly into their pockets, 30% of the money earned in the village had to be spent in the village.
They also thought that it would be great if Lin Jinyue could lead them to do other business.
Now there is a problem with the snail business. I am afraid we will have to wait for a long time.
Seeing that their faces looked more miserable than each other, Lin Jinyue picked a few men, including those from her second uncle's family and those with other surnames in the village.
There were three of them in total, all strong men.
Lin Jinyue said to them: "Let them come. The snail business can still continue, but I want to save costs, so let them come first."
