Chapter 171: Are you looking for death?
"I told them to follow you secretly and not disturb Miss Su. Qingyuan is not peaceful, so it's better to be safe."
Fengying knew that the local officials in Qingyuan were not taking care of things and the situation was a bit chaotic, so he was worried.
If anything happens to Miss Su, the young master will definitely give her a hard time.
"But this is too much trouble for you."
Su Chen felt sorry. It was not good for them to order others around like this.
"Your family saved the young master's life, and the young master has done us a favor. His favor is our favor, so your family's affairs are my affairs, and we have no choice but to take care of them. Moreover, our young master is still thinking about your daughter..."
Fengying's first few words were righteous, but the last sentence suddenly became quieter and unclear...
"What did you say?" Su Chen didn't understand.
"Nothing?"
"I'm talking about the last sentence!" Su Chen really didn't hear it clearly.
"Brother Su, you heard me wrong. I didn't say anything. It's getting late. You should go back and get some rest. Don't you have things to do tomorrow?"
We will take care of Miss Mimi's affairs. We will take care of them for you. When you come back, I will come and have a drink with you."
Fengying pushed Su Chen to the back and did not continue the topic.
I almost said something wrong. If they knew the young master's little thoughts, his brothers would eat him.
Although the young master had never personally expressed his interest in Miss Su, his actions were too abnormal. He said nothing, and yet he said everything.
Su Chen was confused and always felt that Fengying was weird.
He had just taken a few steps when the boy caught up with him again.
"Brother Su San, wait, I have something to ask you." Fengying almost forgot about the important matter.
"What's the matter?" Su Chen asked puzzledly.
"Miss Su, is there anything you particularly want recently?" Fengying asked directly.
"Why are you asking about this?" Su Chen couldn't understand what was so good about this.
"Nothing, just asking." Fengying was entrusted by the young master.
But after thinking about it, Su Chen suddenly realized:
"You...you are not, are you attracted to my sister?" Su Chen pointed at him in disbelief.
Fengying was struck by lightning and quickly covered Su Chen's mouth, saying that he had fallen in love with Miss Su. Was he trying to kill himself?
"No, how is that possible? Don't talk nonsense."
"Then why are you asking these questions? Do you want to give her something?" Su Chen slapped his hand away and said relentlessly.
"It's not me, it's really not me, just tell me." Fengying was so anxious that he was dying. How could he dare to snatch the person from the young master? Isn't he looking for death?
Su Chen crossed his arms and looked him up and down to make sure he was not lying.
"I'm telling you, my sister is still young, don't get your mind off of it, she only likes money."
Su Wan's mind and eyes are full of making money. If he doesn't like money, what else could it be?
Fengying realized that Miss Su liked money, so he could get the job done.
"You like silver, right? I get it. I'm leaving."
Fengying got the answer and stopped pestering Su Chen and left quickly.
…
The next day, Su Chen harnessed the carriage and took Dashu with him. He drove the front carriage and Dashu drove the cargo carriage at the back.
He had received special training in driving, and since he was the older brother, he was a relatively steady person, so Su Chen asked him to drive the cargo carriage with them to Qingyuan County and Qingquan County.
My uncle drove a horse-drawn carriage to Qinghe to deliver goods.
The troops were divided into two groups. Su's mother and Su Yi were in charge of the workshop. She was relieved that the soap was still being made and the flowers were being delivered one after another.
In terms of distance, Qingquan is closer, so go to Qingquan County first, and then to Qingyuan County.
My uncle gave them the key to the house. After that, they had to go to my uncle's house to help them pack their things and bring them to Xiangzhou.
It is not convenient for them to go back home, as they are afraid of running into the county magistrate's son and not being able to explain themselves.
The loaded carriage was covered with oilcloth, and my uncle was not alone, but Xiaoshu was with him.
So, it was really a wise choice for Su Wan to buy two boys at that time.
…
It takes more than half a day for a carriage to get from Xiangzhou to Qingquan. By the time they arrived at the county, it was already late afternoon, so they found a place to stay first.
This time I brought more than a thousand bars of soap, and I wanted to sell them all. I first wanted to investigate the market. The county is not like Xiangzhou. There are fewer people visiting the cosmetics shops. Most of the people around here are ordinary people, and they pay more attention to cost-effectiveness.
Therefore, the shops with the most traffic are grain and oil shops and grocery shops.
Su Wan first turned his attention to the grocery store, looking for the largest and best-performing one.
She didn't know whether goat milk soap was useful in Xiangzhou, but she certainly couldn't sell it too expensively at the beginning. In order to open up the market, she sold it at the original price, and then raised the price back to the original price when the second sale came.
After staying here for one night, Su Wan and the innkeeper asked which grocery store in the county was the largest and had the best business.
The next day, she took the goods to the grocery store. This time, the grocery store was run by a couple.
They had never heard of goat milk soap, so they disagreed when Su Wan said that he would only take half of the money and pay the balance after all the goods were sold.
Because Su Wan left behind 600 bars of soap at one time, totaling more than 200 taels of silver, which was not a small amount of money for them, they did not dare to take the risk.
However, they are getting dividends, so they are not at a loss in terms of profit, but they are unwilling to pay first and want to wait until all the soaps are sold.
Su Wan could understand that it was understandable that they thought this way. After all, it was not a small amount of money.
Su Wan was honest in her business, so she agreed to the couple's request and would settle the payment after all the goat milk soaps were sold.
She will send someone to check again in a month.
But Su Chen was also worried. He pulled Su Wan over and whispered:
"If you don't want a penny now, what if they sell all the things and then deny their debt and run away with the money? This is worth over two hundred taels of silver."
This batch of soap is worth a lot of money, enough to live comfortably for a long time.
"Third brother, you are short-sighted. I've inquired about it. This grocery store has been open for ten years, and its profit is more than two hundred taels. So, you are not afraid that they will run away. Moreover, they know the value of goat milk soap. One order can make more than thirty taels for free. A few more orders and you can get two hundred taels. For a long-term business, why take risks? Is it worth giving up your current stability for two hundred taels?"
Money will eventually run out, but as long as the shop is there, the business will not stop. It is a kind of guarantee. If it were you, would you choose to take advantage of this little bargain?"
Su Wan patiently explained to him that two hundred taels might sound like a lot at first, but it was actually not much and would not make him rich.
The third brother doesn't go into business, and he doesn't think much, so he is easily blinded by the little bit of profit in front of him, and can't see the essence.
But he was not wrong. After all, people's hearts are hidden, so we should always be on guard against others.
