Chapter 1929 The Big Bull Has Arrived
Shu Yu gave Jiang Fengshou a sum of money as preliminary preparations, telling him to spend it where it was needed and not to be shy.
Just like the prizes prepared for the opening of Dong'an Mansion, you have to put in effort to reap rewards.
By February 11th, the shop was finally repaired and the project was successfully completed.
Shu Yu settled He Gong's wages, closed the shop door, and kept it closed for more than ten days.
This left the shops and their owners who had been watching the situation completely baffled. The shops had been repaired, but they still didn't know what kind of goods they sold.
So much time has passed, and the shop is still empty. I really can't figure out what the county magistrate is up to.
Shu Yu is waiting, waiting for Da Niu to bring the goods over.
However, from the time she wrote the letter to have it delivered to Dong'an Prefecture by express courier, to the time Da Niu and the others prepared to transport the goods, the time would inevitably be quite long, and she needed to wait patiently.
On February 23, a convoy finally arrived outside Changjin Prefecture.
The young man at the head of the group wiped his sweat, let out a long breath, and looked at the tall city gate, saying, "We've finally arrived."
He got off the carriage, walked to one of the carriages following behind, and asked the person inside, "Uncle, Aunt, why don't you come into the city with me first? We're unfamiliar with this place. Let's ask Ayu later before going to Chenggu County."
A middle-aged couple appeared in the car. The man nodded. "Alright, alright, we're already here, so let's not rush. Da Niu, your business is more important, let's go into the city first. We'll listen to you."
"Okay." Da Niu then walked forward and led the group to join the queue to enter the city.
It was already afternoon, and there weren't many people entering the city, so Da Niu and his group became particularly conspicuous, especially since their convoy was very long.
Even the guards at the gate looked at them with surprise. Da Niu smiled and handed over his household registration and travel permit. "Officer, we came from Dong'an Prefecture. The carts behind us are loaded with goods. Take a look."
The official nodded. They were currently conducting strict checks on people entering and leaving the city, and this situation would have to continue for at least another six months.
The official followed Da Niu toward the carts behind. When they reached the first cart, he lifted the tarpaulin covering it, then uncovered the felt cloth on top, and finally opened the tarpaulin bag to look inside.
He was immediately taken aback, "What is this?"
"Officer, these are sunflower seeds, they're nuts." Da Niu grabbed a handful and handed them to him. "Officer, try them, they taste very good."
The official did find it smelled very fragrant, but he had never seen this before.
It's not fair to blame him for being ignorant; melon seeds were a novelty, and only one workshop in Dong'an Prefecture was producing them, resulting in limited output. The largest supply came from Dong'an Prefecture, with smaller quantities also available from the capital and the southwestern Linzhang Prefecture.
The sale of passion fruit in the capital was handled by the Liao family's passion fruit shop. The Liao family did have shops in other prefectures, but their production was indeed limited. Even in the capital, the supply could not meet the demand, let alone in other places.
Moreover, the Liao family doesn't own any shops in Changjin Prefecture.
Therefore, very few people have actually eaten sunflower seeds.
For the official, the origin of this substance was unknown, and he had no idea how to consume it. However, the chaos that had occurred in Changjin Prefecture before the new year had made him wary of such unfamiliar things.
