Less than half a minute later, a young man in a moon-white brocade robe came down from upstairs. He had two high-quality jade pendants hanging around his waist, and his narrow, long, phoenix eyes were raised.
She looks more and more enchanting and alluring.
"You two are going to buy all our cotton?" Yue Jiushao walked in and sat down. "I am Yue Jiu, the young master of this ship. What are your names?"
Gu Beiheng frowned slightly. He was not interested in men who looked like beauties. He always felt that this man was alluring and charming.
What's going on when a grown man acts like a sissy?
"My last name is Gu, and this is my wife."
"I wonder where Mr. Gu buys the cotton and ships it to sell it?" Yue Jiushao's inquiring eyes fell between Gu Beiheng and Su Qi.
Gu Beiheng was impatient: "You only care about selling things, why do you care what I buy them for?"
"I'm just curious." Yue Jiushao didn't look unhappy. He picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Hey, serve the guests the cloud tea upstairs."
"Young Master Jiu, the cloud tea will be delivered soon."
"Cotton is not cheap. One pound costs five hundred yuan." Yue Jiushao put away his joking expression and said, "You also know that the production volume is low. In Dongqi, only a few places have a high production volume."
Gu Beiheng calculated the price in his mind.
That's a reasonable amount. "The price you mentioned is acceptable, but it has to be delivered to our door. We live in Mengjiazhuang, just below Mingfeng Town, and all the cotton has to be delivered to the village."
Gu Beiheng agreed readily.
After agreeing, he glanced at Su Qi.
Su Qi gave him a look, naturally agreeing with his decision.
Yue Jiushao picked up the cup to hide the smile on his lips. In the end, this man has to listen to a woman.
A man who is afraid of his wife is a sissy.
He chuckled softly, "Sure. I'll arrange for someone to deliver it to you right away."
Su Qi didn't say a word from beginning to end, just drank tea silently.
The waiter brought three cups of cloud tea.
Su Qi picked up a cup and drank it. Isn't this the Mindong white tea from her previous life? What about the cloud tea?
She remembered that the supermarket in her space had this kind of tea, as well as the top-grade Silver Needle. The tea in this cup was only Peony at best.
Gu Beiheng didn't know much about this tea, and after taking a sip he felt it tasted bland.
Yue Jiushao was surprised to see that the two men showed no signs of surprise. Every merchant in Dashun disliked the cloud tea he brought. "Is this tea not to your taste?"
Su Qi chuckled. "This cloud tea is good, but it's not as good as the tea I usually drink."
Yue Jiushao rolled his eyes silently.
The people living in poor and remote areas are the best at bragging.
He spent a lot of money to buy the cloud tea, but it was not as good as her homemade tea. How could he not fly to the sky with such a good blow?
"Haha, Madam Gu is so elegant. I wonder what kind of tea you usually drink?"
Su Qi did not ignore Yue Jiushao's mockery. She took a closer look at the cloud tea and chuckled:
"What a coincidence. The tea I usually drink should be from the same tea plant as the Yunwu tea, but the one I drink is the first young leaves before the Qingming Festival.
Also commonly known as rice sprouts, the cloud tea that Master Yue drinks is made from leaves that have grown from the back. They pick one bud and one leaf and dry them in the sun.
Yue Jiushao's originally mocking smile faded.
Cloud tea is extremely rare, and he only spent a lot of money to get some.
Bring it to Dashun Kingdom to show off.
I didn't expect to talk about carving in front of Lu Ban.
"I wonder how much Madam Gu's rice sprouts are selling for?" Yue Jiushao just wanted to get some rice sprouts to show off. "Mrs. Gu, can you name a price?"
Su Qi paused awkwardly, "Master Yue, you're joking. Rice buds are hard to come by. The price is secondary. The most important thing is that you can't buy them even if you have money."
"I know that too. Those rice sprouts are monopolized by Prince Zhan's adopted son. It's hard for others to sell them even if they have a mountain of silver. I wonder where Madam Gu got the rice sprouts?" Yue Jiushao was a little skeptical.
Su Qi didn't explain.
He just took out a porcelain bottle from the cloth bag he carried with him.
He opened the small mouth of the porcelain bottle and used a silver pick to pick out some rice sprouts from it.
Yue Jiushao's eyes widened. It was indeed top-grade rice sprouts. "These?"
"These are for Master Yue, as a business gift. We in Dashun often say it's a great pleasure to have friends from afar."
Su Qi handed the porcelain bottle in her hand to Yue Jiushao.
She was attracted by his status as an imperial merchant, thinking that she would be able to make more money through him in the future.
"I really can't accept such an expensive gift. How about naming a price?"
Gu Beiheng sneered, "People from Dongqi Country are just like this. They're so petty and fussy about a little tea. Just accept the gift I gave you."
If you don't like it, just return it. Do you think my wife and I would embarrass you with such a small amount of tea?"
Yue Jiushao's face turned pale and blue.
You've said all the good and bad things, and you're not even allowed to say the usual polite words.
"Okay. I'll take it, just as a friend."
"Let's settle the bill quickly. We have to go back in a hurry." Gu Beiheng didn't want to sit and talk with this man. He always felt that this man was not a good person.
Yue Jiushao probably knew that Gu Beiheng was a rough man, so he didn't bother with him.
He called the steward to sort out the accounts and showed Su Qi the bill. A total of 3,600 kilograms of cotton cost a total of 1,800 taels of silver.
Gu Beiheng took a quick look at the bill and handed it to Su Qi. Su Qi took out a silver note of one thousand taels, a silver note of five hundred taels, and three silver notes of one hundred taels from the cloth bag.
"1800 taels of silver. Please deliver it to Mengjiazhuang for us."
"Manager Yue, please come with me." Yue Jiushao held the porcelain bottle in his hand, his eyes flashing slightly.
The person who bought silk upstairs was a big customer, but he just wanted to get to know the person who bought so much cotton here.
These two people are interesting.
After Su Qi and Gu Beiheng came out, they found that Ying Shiyi had already come. They simply let Ying Shiyi stay here while she and Gu Beiheng went back to Mengjiazhuang.
Returned to the Gu family courtyard.
The people from Mengjiazhuang who were on duty came over. "Madam Gu, we only need a dozen people to make the kang. The rest of the people have nothing to do." Meng Dawang, the son of the Menglichang, bowed to Su Qi.
Su Qi pondered for a while.
"Men, follow Meng Dagui, Mu Guang and Ying Ba to go hunting in the mountains. The prey brought back will be distributed by Mu Guang according to demand, or I will purchase them here and give you coarse grains." Su Qi had the idea of making the prey into jerky.
She could open a meat jerky processing factory and sell the meat jerky to other places.
"Women can come here to sew quilts and cotton-padded clothes. If you need cotton, you can exchange it according to your labor income." Su Qi paused, "You can ask your mother to come and organize the women in the village to sew quilts and cotton-padded clothes."
"Okay. I'll go home and tell my mom first. We'll start hunting in the mountains tomorrow."
"Okay, go ahead. People who go into the mountains to hunt should bring their own dry food." Su Qi thought for a while and instructed Meng Dawang.
"Mrs. Gu, don't worry. We all understand." Meng Dawang left happily.
Su Qi began to draw out the styles of cotton-padded jackets and trousers. The labor protection supply store in her space had many military coats, and Su Qi would take some out every day.
The space will be automatically filled the next day.
However, the automatic completion function is only limited to the items in the supermarket, and the items she put in later do not have the automatic completion function.
Gu Beiheng received a letter sent by eagle in his study.
After reading it, he burned the letter with a flint and calculated the itinerary of Li Dapao and his men. Gu Beiheng picked up a pen and wrote a letter, tied it to Feiying's leg, and fed Feiying two pieces of raw meat.
This allowed it to fly into the blue sky.
After standing in front of the window and thinking for a while, Gu Beiheng returned to the backyard.
"Qiqi. Come here, I want to discuss something with you." Gu Beiheng entered the inner room and saw Su Qi filling the small storeroom inside with things. This time, she took out the extremely expensive rice sprout.
Judging from the quantity, it must be about ten pounds.
Rich wife.
"What is it?"
"I want to go to Hulu Mountain." Gu Beiheng hesitated, "Some of my subordinates from the Northwest Army Camp have come to surrender, so I'll ask them to stop at Hulu Mountain.
There are over thirty bandit dens of varying sizes in Hulu Mountain, and the merchants passing through are suffering. "Why not seize this opportunity to wipe out these bandit dens in one fell swoop?" Gu Beiheng had long wanted to take action against those bandit dens.
But there is no one on hand.
It's impossible for him to bring Yingyi and the other dozen people with him.
Going there would only lead to death, but it would be different for Li Dapao and several hundred soldiers.
