Chapter 293 Small Business in Luhua Town
In Dongping County, the foreign caravan arrived as scheduled.
All the caravans from all over Dajin that could make it in time flocked into the county town.
Even though they had made some preparations, the people of Luhua Town were still amazed by the endless stream of people. After living in the mountains for so long, they were seeing the prosperity of the world for the first time. The twelve or thirteen-year-old children in the group truly understood the Master's saying for the first time, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
While they were still looking at the blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner in surprise, people from other warehouses had already started to greet them warmly.
Because Cui Qingyi's pregnancy reactions were strange and bizarre, Cui Qingyi couldn't accept that she was like a faucet, shedding tears at every turn. She simply handed over the affairs of Luhua Town to Jing Wei temporarily. She decided not to go out and walk around freely until the child was born.
Fortunately, Jing Wei is also a veteran in business and has many capable people under him. He understands that Cui Qingyi wants to bring up the people of Luhua Town. As family members, they teach the people of Luhua Town without hiding anything.
Amu even took Yangmei with him to the warehouse in Luhua Town. Just by the way he spoke, you could tell that he was a good seller. Even though they couldn't communicate in the same language, those foreigners still ordered dozens of jars of Luhuabai.
Yangmei almost took out a small notebook to record every word Amu said in detail. In comparison, she felt that the little experience she had accumulated over the days was simply rubbish.
Even the soy products and aged vinegar that they had worked hard to sell for a long time were sold to foreigners thanks to Amu's clever talk.
While waiting for the foreign caravan to leave, Yang Mei and the others felt refreshed when they looked at the empty warehouse. The huge stone that had been weighing on everyone's hearts for more than ten days was finally lifted, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Jing Wei took advantage of his family background and directly ordered a large amount of Luhuabai from Luhua Town.
As they had already planned to separate from Yuanying, the Jingwei caravan did not rush to the south to trade with foreigners this year.
Now seeing the white reeds in the market, Jing Wei asked Cui Qingyi and made a quick decision after knowing that she had no intention of taking the caravan north.
Jing Wei felt that Luhuabai obviously had a bigger market in the north than in the south.
While waiting for the powerful foreign troops to leave, the merchant caravans staying in Dongping County also left the city one after another.
Two wealthy middle-aged men came to the warehouse in Luhua Town. Yang Mei had good eyesight and recognized that one of them had been there when the warehouse opened.
She went up to greet him, "How come you two shopkeepers are free today?"
Shopkeeper Zheng stroked his mustache and glanced around. "Haha, my caravan still has a few empty carts. Have you sold out your soy products and aged vinegar?"
Yang Mei didn't think too much about it and said with a smile: "Thanks to the boss and the merchants, not only did our bitter flower sell well this time, but even our aged vinegar and soy products were very popular.
The latest stock is all sold out.”
Yangmei really didn't expect this situation, but even Amu said that the aged vinegar and soy products produced in Luhua Town are very good. It's just that few people know about it now. I believe that more people will be willing to trade with them next year.
When Shopkeeper Zheng heard this, he didn't care about pretending anymore and asked with wide eyes, "Sold out!"
Yangmei: “Sold out!”
The shopkeeper named Zheng, who had hoped to get a bargain, didn't expect that there was someone who knew the goods as well as he did. But now he could only quickly find other goods to fill the two empty carriages.
Although the first trip of the Luhua Town caravan had some twists and turns, the final result was still good.
The goods produced by the workshops day and night were sold out. Cui Qingyi was a boss who kept his word.
The reward promised before departure was calculated by the accounting office and distributed to the people just one night later.
Nowadays, almost every household in Luhua Town has someone working in a workshop or traveling with a caravan.
Everyone lined up at the entrance of the ancestral hall to receive their wages and rewards. Men, women, young and old couldn't help but smile as they held the silver.
Soon, Cui Qingyi's grocery store, which had been expanding, welcomed wave after wave of customers.
Not only that, the people who had just returned to Luhua Town found that houses were being built in the town again. After asking, they found out that the village chief wanted to open a shop in the town.
From grocery stores to rice, cloth and clothing stores, everything people need in life can be found here.
The people of Luhua Town worked in the workshop opened by Cui Qingyi to earn money, and then went back to spend it in the shop opened by Cui Qingyi. The money was spent and then returned to Cui Qingyi's pocket in another form.
Luhua Town now has a healthy business cycle, the people have a better life, and Cui Qingyi's investment in Luhua Town has yielded visible returns.
The dead card Zhou Yanxiu gave Cui Qingyi was transformed into a small business empire of its own in her hands.
But even the people of Luhua Town don’t know that the owner behind these shops is actually Cui Qingyi.
Wang Xiaoqian sent a letter to the village chief's mansion, hoping to meet and talk with Cui Qingyi, but all his letters fell into oblivion.
In desperation, Wang Xiaoqian had to go to the village chief's house in person to block the people.
After all, he is the local official. Even if he is Zhou Yanxiu's confidant, Cui Qingyi has no intention of making enemies with him, and she still has to give him the face she deserves.
Jing Wei helped Cui Qingyi out to meet the guests. Five months later, her belly grew rapidly, and each day was bigger than the previous day.
Now that my belly is almost seven months old, it is almost as big as that of a nine-month old baby.
Jing Wei's heart went from being worried at the beginning to being terrified now. Every step Cui Qingyi took made Jing Wei's heart go up and down.
Wang Xiaoqian's continuous visiting invitations had already made Jing Wei unhappy, and now he even came directly to ask to see Cui Qingyi. Although Jing Wei was angry, he didn't say anything.
Wang Xiaoqian hadn't seen Cui Qingyi for more than four months. He was startled when he suddenly saw her with a big belly.
For a moment, Wang Xiaoqian couldn't say the words he had prepared.
In fact, Cui Qingyi could probably guess why Wang Xiaoqian was so persistent in wanting to see her.
There was no ban on alcohol in the Jin Dynasty, and there were many wine-making craftsmen among the people. However, due to limited conditions, there were almost no wines that could compare with Luhuabai. The Luhuabai from Luhua Town attracted countless people's attention when it first appeared in Dongping County.
But Cui Qingyi suffered a loss once and she would never suffer a loss again. She has managed Luhua Town to this day not just by relying on a few prescriptions.
Before Wang Xiaoqian could say anything, Cui Qingyi vomited in front of Wang Xiaoqian as soon as she raised the teacup to her lips.
Jing Wei's face turned completely black when he saw the ginseng in Cui Qingyi's teacup. Cui Qingyi still can't stand some smells, and ginseng is one of them, so this thing has disappeared from the village chief's mansion for a long time.
