Chapter 764: It's easy to understand
"It's OK. It went smoothly. I bought all the medicines you wanted and recorded them all in the account book. Take a look and see if there's anything missing. As for the difference, I'll pay you whatever you want as long as it's enough for me to pay for the first meal."
Jiang Tongxiang said this with great enthusiasm.
He had spent all the money his sister had lent him, and he didn't even have five taels of silver left in his pocket.
He bought a little extra of half of the medicines his sister wanted.
This way he could earn more money, which he would use not only to buy jewelry but also to buy gifts for his family.
Speaking of this, he couldn't just buy things for the women, he couldn't leave the men behind, so he had to go back to Lianshan Town to get the money to buy the pink sapphire. As for the gifts for the men, he collected them from all over the place.
These gifts have one thing in common: they are rare in Lianshan Town, but they are very cheap locally.
For example, a folding fan given to my eldest brother only costs thirty cents.
As long as he and Jiang Qi don't tell each other, no one will know the price.
Suddenly, Jiang Tongxiang shuddered, as if he suddenly thought of something.
Yes, he could have taken advantage of the time when his sister went to buy medicine twice a year to make more trips. For example, the cream he gave to his father would cost at least one or two taels of silver at the local rouge shop, but in the area where the cream was produced, he could buy a jar for less than two hundred coins.
He could easily search for things everywhere and sell them in Lianshan Town.
If you open another shop, wouldn't that mean you have more income?
Although the Liu family is not as wealthy as the Jiang family, they are very rich. But if Xinlan marries him, she can't rely on her family to support them, what if Xinlan gives birth to another child?
He must work hard to make money so that he can raise his wife and children into plump and healthy ones.
Otherwise, you are not a man and are not qualified to marry a wife.
"Brothers and sisters should settle the bill clearly. I will give you the same price as I said at the beginning. Brother, what were you thinking about just now? You didn't respond when I called you twice." Jiang Fubao hit Jiang Tongxiang with his elbow and then said this.
"I just had an idea to make money. Can you help me with the plan?" The younger sister and the grandfather are the smartest in the family, especially the younger sister, who is the most capable person he has ever met. As her brother, he is not even a hair as good as her.
Jiang Tongxiang actually admired Jiang Fubao very much, so he listened to whatever Jiang Fubao said.
"Okay, brother, you tell me." Jiang Fubao felt the sun rising from the west.
My second brother, who has always been lazy and sloppy, now wants to work hard to make money.
"This time when I went out, I brought gifts for everyone in my family, including folding fans, shoes, rare cloth, wine, small items, etc. All of these things were very cheap where I bought them, but if I buy them in Lianshan Town, not only are they difficult to buy, but they are also very expensive, especially the cream that Dad uses.
I remember my mother told me that it cost one or two taels of silver to buy it, but I only paid a little over a hundred coins. I forgot how much it was, but I bought five cans and only spent 750 coins. If I bought more, it would definitely be cheaper. What do you think, if I go out and buy these things, sell them in Lianshan Town, and then open a shop, is it feasible?"
Jiang Tongxiang looked at his sister eagerly.
Waiting for Jiang Fubao's answer.
It was as if he would give up the idea if Jiang Fubao said no, and he trusted her completely.
"Brother, you are exactly that." Jiang Fubao raised his thumb.
Gave him an affirmative look.
People say that rotten wood cannot be carved, and all her family members are made of the finest golden nanmu.
Just a simple tap and your brain becomes more flexible.
Grandma is, elder sister is, and even my brother is.
Only with this kind of family can we make progress together.
"Brother, this is reselling, and you are the middleman. But in order to make it sound better and sell at a higher price, I support Brother Seven to open a shop. I have even thought of a name for you, it's called Jiang's Grocery Store. What do you think? There is everything in it. Just like Brother Seven said, you can buy the cheap things sold outside.
Pile them up in the shop and sell them. This way, people can buy whatever they need. They will be regular customers of your shop in the future. Brother Qi, you are a genius! The goods carried by those peddlers are also bought from outside. If they can do it, Brother Qi can do it too."
Jiang Fubao praised Jiang Tongxiang again and again, making him look so proud that he couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy.
His sister's affirmation of him shows that he is not useless.
"Okay, brother, go back and have a rest. I'll go do the accounting first. I can understand the account book. I'll give you the money when the time comes. By the way, don't rush to Liu's house to see Sister Xinlan. At least wash up. You have a scruffy beard. Don't scare Sister Xinlan."
Jiang Fubao knew without a second thought that his second brother would definitely not go to rest, and might even go to Liu's house the next second.
She has to hold on.
Men should pay more attention to their image.
Women also look at the face, okay?
For example, she is.
Jiang Fubao curled his lips and took a step back with some disgust.
Probably because he was in a hurry to get back, my second brother hadn’t taken a shower for many days and his body smelled sour.
It smells worse than the pickle jar that grandma used to put pickles in.
She wrinkled her nose and stepped back a meter before stopping.
"Okay, I'll go take a shower first and wash my hair so that Xinlan won't feel the stink. Thanks, sister." Jiang Tongxiang was very grateful to his sister.
Thank you for her advice just now and her reminder now.
"Well, go ahead." Jiang Fubao waved his hand perfunctorily and drove him away.
As for herself, she took the servants to pack up the medicinal seeds, moved them all to the warehouse, and counted them one by one.
I bought too many of these medicines, but the more the better.
Not all medicinal seeds will survive after being planted, so after sowing, she will check on them at regular intervals. Once she finds any seeds that have not survived, she will add more so that they can still be harvested at the same time.
"Miss, the warehouse is full, where should we put the remaining half?" Pan Erya said anxiously.
"It's okay, just put it in the pharmacy at home." Jiang Fubao pointed casually.
The remaining medicines have all been put away.
Jiang Fubao went back to get the banknote.
The account book clearly stated that these medicinal seeds cost a total of more than two thousand taels. According to the average price, it was more than double, so she had to give her eldest brother six thousand two hundred taels.
Jiang Fubao had enough banknotes. It had been about a year since she came back, and she had saved a lot of money.
I went downstairs with the banknote and happened to meet my second brother who had just taken a shower, changed into clean clothes and was getting ready to go out.
Jiang Fubao shouted, and finally stopped him from rushing out.
"Second brother——"
"Hey, Fubao, what's wrong? Do you need me for something?" Jiang Tongxiang never expected that his sister would work so quickly. He thought it would take his sister several days just to look at the account book.
So he didn't know why Jiang Fubao called him, and thought he had something urgent to tell him.
"Here." Jiang Fubao stepped forward and handed him the banknote and the account book.
